Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S07/E04 The Incredible Melting Man

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment provides the following tropes

An Aesop: During the credits the gang goes over what they learned, such as: Don't shout 'I'm Doctor Ted Nelson' to security guards. Or that cats can get their own milk out of the fridge.
Call Back: "Dr. Ted Nelson was found alive and of normal size. There was no Melting Man."
Continuity Nod: Crow's script "Earth vs. Soup" gets made!
Executive Meddling: In-universe with Dr. F and Pearl's treatment of Crow's script; see Take That below.
Leitmotif: The crew gives Ted a theme when he's tracking down Melty by the river.
Take That: The segments involving Crow's film is a not so subtle jab at Gramercy Picture's meddling of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 film.
