!!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation contains examples of the following tropes:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Nuveena the "weird singing lady from the future" seems nice albeit genuinely terrifying ("...AT FIRST!"), and urges them to come to her futuristic utopia, but turns the Bots into appliances, meant to serve humans and nothing more. It takes a point-blank rejection from Mike for her to leave and things to return to normal.

* BrooklynRage: Nuveena, when she stops singing, speaks in pitchy New York accent and tells Mike off with the Italian hand-under-the-chin salute.

* CurseCutShort: From the ''Design for Dreaming'' short:
-->'''Girl:''' ''(singing)'' I want a Corvette!
-->'''Mike:''' ''(singing)'' I don't give a tin sh...

* FreudWasRight: Invoked by Servo and averted by Crow.
-->'''Tom Servo:''' I wonder what Freud would make of that sun hat!
-->'''Crow:''' Well, sometimes a sun hat is just a sun hat.
* JustAMachine: Nuveena's opinion of the 'bots.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Nuveena turns out to be an anti-robot racist.

* RealityWarper: Nuveena, in the short and out of it. She teleports, breaks the in-universe fourth wall, and eventually turns the 'bots into appliances as part of her evil scheme to... have the perfect kitchen.

** From the short: Every time shots of concept cars are intercut with StockFootage of fireworks, Mike reads the credits to ''Series/TheHoneymooners'', which similarly used fireworks footage in its opening.

* TheUnreveal: Lampshaded when the Masked Man's face is shown.
-->'''Dreaming Lady''': [[YouExclamation It's YOU!]]
-->'''Mike''': Who?

* Mike is forced into a tea party with Gypsy while Crow and Servo play tennis.

* Frank hosts a roast for Dr. Forrester, but soon gets punched in the gut for his jokes. Meanwhile, Mike and the Bots play tennis.

* Nuveena, woman of the future, appears on the Satellite. Mike soon falls in love with her.

* With Mike and the Bots' things packed, they are ready to move to Nuveena's place. The Bots, however, have second thoughts.

* Mike is surprised when he finds the Bots turned to kitchen appliances by Nuveena. She tells him [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman as machines, the Bots are meant to serve them.]] He tells her to leave, which she does.

* Mike copes with the loss of Nuveena with Crow, Servo, cookie dough and letters. He reads a letter from a girl who watches the show all the time, a guy who wants the show attached to his arm, and another girl who wants Crow to have an Austrian accent and Servo's head to have gumballs. Nuveena soon finds a new boyfriend, Frank, but disappears.

* IncrediblyLamePun: "Hey, give Heinrich the Heimlich!"

* UncannyValley: Nuveena, in-universe, after zapping out of the short and onto the SOL. Mike's gut reaction to her is that she's some sort of "potentially evil specter." He's kind of right.

* Mike is surprised when finds the Bots turned to kitchen appliances by Nuveena. She tells him [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman as machines, the Bots are meant to serve them.]] He tells her to leave, which she does.
