History YMMV / MrBNatural

* OldShame:
** Conn, decades later, admitted responsibility for the short and humorously apologized.
** Averted completely with Bruce Podewell, who said that the short pushed him to pursue an actual music career. In fact, no one called him "Bruce". He was "Buzz" his entire life.
* LifeImitatesArt: The short inspired Bruce "Buzz" Podewell to become [[http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=Bruce-Podewell&lc=7192&pid=163918068&mid=5477937 a celebrated music professor himself]].

* NightmareFuel: Mr. B Natural is either seen as this or as cute.

-->[[PodCast/RiffTrax Mike Nelson]]: I've taken angel dust! See!? SEE!?

%%* SoBadItsGood
* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: For all its goofiness and commercial praise of Conn instruments, the short does spend most of its time emphasizing the importance of musical education, even if it does exaggerate just how good it is.

* AwesomeMoments: A meta-example: Conn-Selmer, Inc. [[http://www.conn-selmer.com/en-us/about/news/indiana-religious-freedom-restoration-act/ wrote a letter]] disparaging Indiana's controversial "Religious Freedom Restoration Act", which would have permitted discrimination against gays.
* HeartwarmingMoments: A meta-example: Bruce Podewell, who played Buzz Turner, became a musician and [[http://www.nola.com/arts/index.ssf/2013/03/buzz_podewell_69_longtime_dire.html a beloved figure]] in productions in New Orleans til his death in 2013. What ignited his interest in music? The short, so, yes, Virginia, there really is a Mr. B Natural.

!!From the MST3K presentation:

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: ''Mr. B, shame on you! HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY?!''
** "You know, I think Oscar Wilde only ''[[UpToEleven wished]]'' he was this gay."
*** "See Buzz, it's ''fun'' to be psychotic!" Really, the entire sequence where Mr. B interpretive dances the various instruments is hilarious due to both its own {{Narm}} and Joel and the Bots' shocked commentary.
** "Ha ha...that's nice, MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!"
** The debate between Tom Servo and Crow on whether Mr. B was a man or not, culminating in Crow's horror at Tom Servo's UnfortunateImplications.
-->'''Crow:''' [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe Mr. Servo, you've GOT to be kidding me!]] Let's assume for the moment that Mr. B Natural IS a man. My heavens! What a confusing message to send to little kids! Already, there's the painful feeling of isolation, the horrible, scarring acne - and Mr. Servo here would have us place a cross-dressing man with a clarinet slap dab in their bedrooms! Why not men in Little Bo Peep costumes with stinky cigars explaining the facts of life to our unsuspecting daughters? I, for one--
-->'''Joel:''' Mr. Servo, your rebuttal!
-->'''Tom:''' Yes! Yes! Mr. Crow! I don't think we should stop there! Let's break down ALL the barriers. Hairy men in Spartan costumes holding bake sales on shady boulevards! Naked jock-strap wrestling! Big, '''''wonderful'''''--
-->''(Commercial sign)''
** The show actually topped this by featuring Mike Nelson's real-life wife, the lovely and talented Bridget Jones Nelson, as a dead ringer for Mr. B. Natural in the gathering of the MST3K Rogue's Gallery during the 1995 Turkey Day Special, which is featured on the Mystery Science Theater 3000: XVI [Limited Edition] collection of episodes.
** The manufacturing company, C.G. Conn ([[http://www.cgconn.com/ which is still around]]) gets one, too; after watching the short, one fan emailed them to ask if this was the same company responsible for "Mr. B Natural"; the response was, "Yes, and don't hold it against us."
** Having Buzz play the same loud, fast jazz music from the previous scene during a slow dance.
* FridgeHorror: As pointed out by Tom Servo:
--> '''Mr. B Natural:''' And don't be so sure I wasn't in the garden with Mr. and Mrs. Adam.
--> '''Servo:''' *nervous laugh* Yeah, you were the snake.
* [[HoYay Ho... er, Les Yay? No, Ho Yay, technically]]
-->'''Joel:''' Mr. B, you're ''hot''!
-->'''Joel:''' ''(dreamily)'' Oh, Mr. B...

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: Mr. B Natural.
