!! The ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'' presentation contains:

** The RunningGag of Tom running down Crow in his car (first seen in ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S06E04ZombieNightmare Zombie Nightmare]]'') returns. This time an airborne Tom strafes Crow's car while he's in the middle of washing it.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The student's unsettling narration at the start of ''Why Study Industrial Arts'' about [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin why he studies Industrial Arts]]. The riffing picks up on the subtext:
-->'''Student:''' And you know, I like the ''feel'' of a board moving smoothly against a sharp saw.\\
'''Mike:''' Then I ''thrust'' the nail into the ''soft, yielding'' wood...\\
'''Student:''' I like the smell of fresh wood chips and sawdust...\\
'''Tom:''' I put them in my underwear.\\
'''Student:''' The bright glare of a welder...\\
'''Crow:''' I like to sneak in and lay on the table saw.\\
'''Tom:''' ''Yesss...''

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Crow gets sawed in half during Industrial Arts class. Vertically, right down the middle[[note]]What did he do? Lie down on the table saw?[[/note]]. His two halves blame each other.

* TheTalk:
-->'''Crow:''' This is the film the boys had to watch when the girls had to go to the gym and watch The ''Other'' Film.

* Crow and Tom hang from the bridge in tangled parachutes. Despite his string of misfortunes today, Crow tells his fellow 'Bot that the key to making it in life is "persevere". As Mike launches into some more swing choir, Dr. F toughensFrank up with an abusive game of dodgeball.

* Tom Servo tries to put on a planetarium show for the crew. Crow's incessant heckling over [[UranusIsShowing a certain planet's name]] drives him off in tears.

* Dr. Forrester challenges Mike to a swing-choir contest. Both the Mads and SOL crew put on incredible performances, but the Mads are also the judges and so it ends in their favor.

* The 'Bots enroll in an Industrial Arts class. Servo is having trouble making a wallet due to his non-functioning arms[[note]]I'M NOT DONE! MY ARMS DON'T WORK![[/note]], while Crow's callous disregard for proper safety procedures gets him cut in two. Vertically.

* Crow has gotten himself caught in a "double jock-lock". He insists it's so he can learn to get out of it himself.

* Crow has gotten a new car and is happily washing it. Servo then runs him down again... in an airplane!

* Despite his string of misfortunes today, Crow continues to persevere as he and Servo hang over the bridge in tangled parachutes. Dr. F is toughening Frank up with an abusive game of Dodgeball.

-->'''Crow:''' This is the film the boys had to watch and the girls had to go to the gym and watch the ''other film!''

* {{Wedgie}}: Knowing he is a {{nerd}}y BullyMagnet, Crow puts himself in a double jock lock (underwear pulled up over his arms and legs, binding them in place) so he can teach himself how to escape. How exactly he managed to do this on his own -- and how he thinks it could happen to him again given that he doesn't wear clothes -- goes unaddressed.

* BottomlessFuelTank: The riffing averts this when Frank and Suzy flee from the police:

--> '''Tom'''; We'll be traveling at about the speed of light, yes, well over 500 miles per hour![[note]]Well, he's not wrong. [[/note]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: In the opening, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bBDtxk2mGA Crow ruins Servo's planetarium show.]] In the third interval, Servo picks up a fighter plane, blasting Crow and his recently-acquired car.

->''"It's sort of like Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate without the lucid plot."''

* BrawnHilda: The "beefy girl" at the party, who even picks up a guy and tosses him like a beanbag. Servo gives her a masculine, gruff voice while Mike calls her [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Boerwinkle Tom Boerwinkle]], a big ex-NBA player.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: A key part of the StylisticSuck of Tom's planetarium sketch. "Mars, the brightest star in our galaxy..." It is probably a reference to the Japanese {{Kaiju}} films that the crew watched in the past whose localization kept referring to planets as stars.
