Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S06/E10 The Violent Years
Film watched: The Violent Years along with the short Young Man's Fancy
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains these tropes:
- Black Comedy Rape: The Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew Crosses the Line Twice when taking on the male rape scene, and the aftermath.
 |
Tom Servo: My rape victim refuses to come to Lamaze classes! |
 |
- Quite a few of the jokes were about the rapists getting pregnant, which the movie ended up really using.
- Carmina Burana: Servo's self-authored theme song With Lyrics.
- Continuity Nod: "We shot that fat barkeep!"
- Double Standard Rape (Female on Male): The Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew has a bit of fun with that.
- Ear Worm: Mike Mike Mike. M-M-M-Mike Mike Mike. M-M-M-Mike Mike Mike. M-M-M-Mike. M-M-M-Mike.
- Off with His Head: Tom Servo replaces his head with a very disturbing ventriloquist dummy's head. Mike chases him around the SOL, then pries his head off. Also qualifies as an Eye Scream, as Mike gouges his thumbs into Tom's eye sockets when ripping the head off. See the horror show here.
- Shout-Out: Boss Jim Gettys
- What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?: A radio station, named FRANK! More Reba!

The Young Man's Fancy short contains these tropes:
- Actor Allusion: Due to his thick-rimmed glasses, Bob gets lots of Franklin Delano Roosevelt riffs.
- Ambiguously Gay: Bob, which would explain why he is so insistent on Judy not dating Alex.
- Brought To You By The Nerd Council. And a generous grant from the Mom Corporation.
- Full-Name Basis
|
Alexander Phipps: The name is Alex. |
|
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: "Double-bag it, son!"
- Also growing mushrooms in the basement.
|
Crow: And avoiding the narcs! |
|
- Likes Older Women: The crew portray Alex as flirting with Judy's mother.
|
Crow: (as Judy's mother) Please, Alex, I'm vulnerable. |
|
|
Alexander: Hey, what's a four-letter word for "nuisance"? |
