* SuperGullible: Jonah completely buys the bots' yarn about ''Carnival Magic'''s multiple sequels and longevity, not questioning them at all until they stretch it even further to include "Trailer Park Productions" a film studio built around filming in trailer parks. He also refers to himself as an "easy mark" for PT Mindslap's scam during the carnival song.

->'''Kinga Forrester:''' Well, your experiment today is a grimy little tale of a talking ape and the Worst Show on Earth.



!!The Segments:
[[AC:Prologue]]
* Tom Servo is in the middle of delivering his TOM Talk--a TED Talk, but with even more gibberish than usual.

[[AC:Segment 1]]
* Kinga asks Jonah to marry her--and makes it perfectly clear that she won't take "No" for an answer. Max is crushed. And then it's Invention exchange time.

[[AC:Segment 3]]
* Trooper Servo and Trooper Crow exchange increasingly silly police radio jargon.

[[AC:Segment 4]]
* P.T. Mindslap, proprietor of the Great Space Circus Show, drops by the SOL, attempting to recruit Jonah and the bots to his very circus.

* IRejectYourReality: During the credits, Tom Servo and Crow spin a very involved tale of Elvin Feltner's movies after ''Carnival Magic''--only to admit immediately that none of these movies are real. Then...
-->'''Crow:'' I don't even think ''Carnival Magic'' was real, and we ''just'' watched it.\\
'''Jonah:''' That's a good point. Did we ''really'' watch a movie just now?



* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: Tom Servo and Crow run through the various sequels: ''2 Magic 2 Carnival'', ''Carnival Magic 3: Return of the Girl in the Car'', and ''Carnival Magic Begins''.

!!The [=MST3K=] treatment provides examples of:

* TheAce: The riffers joke about Markov's ultra-competence and role in the plot as a fountain of endless wisdom.
-->'''Markov:''' I can't stop death.\\
'''Crow:''' Thank you! Finally, Markov's admitting something he can't do.
* AlanSmithee: "Al Adamson is the name Alan Smithee uses when he doesn't want ''his'' name on a film."
* TheAlcoholic: Lots of jokes about Stony Martin's drinking.
-->'''Crow:''' And what, pray tell, is a syrup-covered case of Rolling Rock?\\
'''Tom Servo:''' Stony Martin's breakfast.
* TheCameo: Creator/MarkHamill in the role of P.T. Mindslap, ringmaster of a space-traveling circus.
* CelebrityResemblance:
-->'''Kurt:''' Did anyone recognize you?\\
'''Tom Servo:''' ''(as Kim)'' One guy called me Amy Adams, and I didn't correct him.
* Dissimile: "He's like MacGuyver, if [=MacGuyver=] just had to pick up some keys."
* DeepFriedEverything: "Kittens! Get your deep-fried, chocolate covered kittens!"
* DesignatedHero:
-->'''Tom Servo:''' Again, Alex isn't funny or cute, just terrifyingly clear in his desire to cause harm.
* DullSurprise:
-->'''Crow:''' I've seen mannequins have livelier conversations than this.
* DoubleStandard:
-->'''Crow:''' So, Jonah, he's endangered the lives of two people just now.\\
'''Jonah:''' Yeah, but he's an ape, so it's cute.
* DrivenToSuicide:
-->'''Jonah:''' ''(as Markov)'' Actually, I was about to commit seppuku, but I guess that can wait.
* EstablishingShot: Over halfway through the movie, after yet another establishing shot of the carnival:
-->'''Crow:''' Hey, did you guys realize this thing takes place at a ''carnival?''\\
'''Jonah:''' Oh, I thought it was a Sad Factory.
* FiveStagesOfGrief: After Markov says that training Alex was the only thing that kept him going after his wife died: "What stage of grief is chimp play?"
* FreeRangeKids: The riffers note that there are a lot of unattended kids at this circus.
* FruitCart: When Alex drives a vehicle through a produce cart, and Jonah lampshades it:
-->'''Jonah:''' It wouldn't be a car chase if it didn't affect the life of a local farmer and his family.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: P.T. Mindslap tries to buy Jonah and the bots to exploit them in his circus. Kinga refuses, saying that she's the only one allowed to exploit them.
* ManchurianAgent: When Markov hypnotizes an audience volunteer into bending a steel bar, Crow jokes that he also activated the man's secret agent programming.
-->'''Crow:''' Yes... Must kill top official...\\
'''Tom Servo:''' No, all I said is your name is Gus.\\
'''Crow:''' Sorry... my bad...
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Jonah and the bots react with over-the-top amazement at Alex the chimp performing simple tasks, like sweeping the floor.
* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: Tom Servo and Crow run through the various sequels: ''2 Magic 2 Carnival'', ''Carnival Magic 3: Return of the Girl in the Car'', and ''Carnival Magic Begins''.

* RunningGag: "Sweet freedom!" the riffers say, every time Alex walks out a building or tent.
* SwissCheeseSecurity: "Yes, the weak point of so many illegal labs: an unlocked screen door."
* TakeOurWordForIt: P.T. Mindslap's circus, featuring amazing sights and death-defying stunts... performed entirely on a darkened stage. Everyone figures out pretty quickly that there aren't actually any performers, just P.T. Mindslap himself ''describing'' the performance.
* TemptingFate:
-->'''Jonah:''' Now that Alex has been given a second chance at life, I hope he does something truly meaningful with it, and just doesn't go back to the carnival. Uhh, he went back to the carnie.
* ThemeMobile: "To the Carniemobile!"
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: The riffers turn the final scene into this, explaining the Stony Martin became Alabama's senator, Markov was arrested, etc.
