Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S05/E14 Teen Age Strangler

Films watched: Is This Love? (short) and Teen-Age Strangler

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation of Teen Age Strangler contains examples of these tropes:

• Celebrity Resemblance: The guy managing the diner is considered a look-alike of Drew Carey and The Family Circus dad.
  • Mikey is also compared to Waldo.
• Notable Original Music: "The Janitor Song."

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation of Is This Love? contains examples of these tropes:

• Getting Crap Past the Radar: Lots, but perhaps most notably when Peggy reclines on the bed and stretches her hands above her head.

Tom: Get the cuffs.

• Harsher in Hindsight: The riff about Andy's "screams of those who have wronged me" manifesto, several years before Columbine/Virginia Tech.
• Running Gag: Andy as Liz's henpecked fiance. "Look, would you just lay off for ten seconds!!"
• Star Trek: The bots compare Liz's oddly arched eyebrows to those of a Romulan.
