Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S09/E05 The Deadly Bees

Film watched: The Deadly Bees

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains examples of the following tropes:

• Fan Service: Subverted during the bee attack on Vicki.

Servo: Y'know, if she really wanted to be safe from the bees, she should just strip down and turn on the shower. I'm not saying this out of any prurient interest - it's just good advice.

• Kick the Dog: Literally in the movie.

Mike: Appeal to your audience. Kill the cute dog.

• Late to the Party: In the film

Mike: Hello, I'm here for the movie -- am I late? Hello?

• Mistaken Identity: Intentional - several early riffs involve The Jeffersons, owing to Frank Finlay's strong resemblance to Paul Benedict (who played Mr. Bentley).
• "Previously On...": The first pre-movie segment parodies this trope.
• Punny Name: Take a wild guess what prop diva "Beez" McKeever's nickname becomes in the credits for this episode.
