History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E15TeenageCaveman

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: While teaching Gypsy how to play poker, Joel instructs her to "just tell 'em what you want to do". After thinking for a moment, Gypsy begins incessantly chanting, [[CelebCrush "Richard Basehart! Richard Basehart!"]]

* RootingForTheEmpire[[invoked]]: The guys root for the wild cat and bear cubs when they try to escape.
** They root for the snakes to bite Ross, too.

MoveAlongNothingToSee: Servo says this after the giant reptile fight.

* TakeThat: Creator/RogerCorman's quick-and-cheap filmmaking methods are the target of several quips, including a suggestion that Robert Vaughan not eat the squirrel he's cooking so Corman can use it as the monster in his next film.

-->'''Tom Servo''': And the incentive to stay up is...crocodiles!

* Joel and the 'Bots wrote a book, ''Rainy Day Epicacs'', filled with delightful home remedies to induce vomiting. Frank demands to be allowed to present the invention, leading to a big fight between them.

-->'''Narrator:''' Well, this is a different assignment, and a true depiction of actually filling an order [Ross] recently received.
-->'''Joel:''' Kill Colonel Kurtz!

-->'''Narrator''': Here's the shed. ''(in reference to a snake's shed skin)''
-->'''Crow''': Two Sheds?

-->'''Frank:''' ''(In an eerily low and calm voice)'' I spent all night workin' on that bad boy. I'm doin' the invention exchange this week. ''(Motions with his head)'' Take the train.\\

'''Servo:''' ...What in the Sam Scratch is goin' on down there?

* ShoutOut: Several references to ''Series/FTroop'', since Frank de Kova (who played the Black-Bearded One) was also in that show.

* CelebrityResemblance: Crow thinks the Seminole looks like Creator/EmoPhillips and does a killer impersonation of said comedian.

** To ''Film/ANightAtTheOpera'': After the narrator lists the animals in Ross's order (one bobcat, two bearcubs, and three rattlesnakes), Joel adds "And two hard-boiled eggs! Make that ''three'' hard-boiled eggs!"

* ContinuityNod: Part of the movie's StockFootage (specifically: the part with two, ahem, ''prehistoric creatures'' wrestling one another) is the same as that in ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S01E07RobotMonster Robot Monster]]'', a first season episode. Servo takes a moment to {{Lampshade|Hanging}} this:

** And to ''GeorgeOfTheJungle'' when Robert Vaughn is running across the landscape--"Bob, Bob, Bob of the Jungle", followed by "Watch out for that tree!" when Bob does indeed manage to run smack into a tree.

** The bots are also eager to whip the piss out of the narrator of the "Aquatic Wizards" short when he refers to a Hispanic waterskier as a "Mexican jumping bean."
--> '''Crow:''' "This time, the white fascist narrator will make a racial slur!"
--> '''Tom:''' "Hah, but what do I know? I'm only a fat hick announcer, mowing down pretzels and pinwheel cookies, and trying to come to grips with the tattered ends of a once promising life gone horribly wrong, God, God, why, why?!"

* ShoutOut: Several references to ''FTroop'', since Frank de Kova (who played the Black-Bearded One) was also in that show.

* BaitandSwitchComment: Many towards Ross.

** ''MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'':

* TakeThat: RogerCorman's quick-and-cheap filmmaking methods are the target of several quips, including a suggestion that Robert Vaughan not eat the squirrel he's cooking so Corman can use it as the monster in his next film.
