7
8	!!The Segments:
9	[[AC:Prologue]]
10	* Crow tries to sell Grit to Joel and Servo. Not the newspaper, actual, literal grit.
11
12	[[AC:Segment 1]]
13	* For the Invention Exchange, Dr. Forrester shows off a new line of toothpaste made of chocolate frosting that creates cavities instead of preventing them, which Frank pigs out on. Joel's invention is the Rock-N-Wreck Guitar, a guitar that easily reassembles itself after being dramatically smashed at the end of a concert.
14
15	[[AC:Segment 2]]
16	* Competing for Gypsy's love, Crow and Servo put on a 1920s-style serenade for her, aptly named "Beneath the Gypsy Moons".
17
18	[[AC:Segment 3]]
19	* Inspired by John Banner's overexuberent character Bavaro, the SOL crew creates "Banner-Grams", where you can send Banner to your door so everybody can share his optimism and long-windedness.
20
21	[[AC:Segment 4]]
22	* Crow has Joel and Servo read from his new sci-fi screenplay. The overuse of incoherent space-babble drives them nuts.
23
24	[[AC:Segment 5]]
25	* Someone has sent the crew their own Banner-Gram. Banner's tireless complimenting quickly annoys them, so they resend him to Deep 13 and let Dr. Forrester be tortured instead.
26
27	!!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation contains examples of:
28
29	* ArmlessBiped: While neither of them are bipeds, Gypsy has no arms and Tom's don't work. Lampshaded in "Gypsy Moons":
30	-->'''Tom:''' Take my hand! Oh, you can't.
31	* BawdySong: After being rebuffed, Crow turns the "Gypsy Moons" into one of these: "'Cause when the lights go out, and we're sittin' on the couch, y'know I'm gonna give you ''ever-y-thii--''"
32	* BreakingTheReviewersWall: Today it's John Banner/Bavaro crossing over from the movie.
33	* CatchPhrase: Joel and company are delighted by Bavaro's affectionate "Boopie!", and [[CallBack call it back]] a few times in future seasons.
34	* CreditsGag: John Banner's Banner-Gram continues [[OverlyLongGag over the full duration]] of the end credits.
35	* DudeMagnet: Joel and the bots definitely think Cleolanta is a hottie.
36	-->'''Cleolanta:''' You are presumptuous.\
37	'''Joel:''' And you are numtuous!
38	* FakeOutFadeOut: Twice the screen fades to black for a transition and the guys try to make a break for it, only to reluctantly sit back down when the show continues. When it finally does end, Crow expects another fake-out and stays seated, so Joel has to drag him out.
39	* MotorMouth: John Banner's character's endless NiceGuy yammering becomes a RunningGag, culminating in Dr. Forrester ''freaking out'' in a full-on VillainousBreakdown when Joel sends him a Banner-Gram... with Banner speaking continuously for the full running time of the end {{credits\|Gag}}.
40	* NotSoStoic: Joel is annoyed when Crow turns "Gypsy Moons" into a BawdySong.
41	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: During the last host segment, Servo asks John Banner what it was like working with Werner Klemperer on ''Series/HogansHeroes''. Banner briefly drops his jovial character and coldly threatens the crew to never speak of him again.
42	* RunningGag:
43	** "...[[CatchPhrase Boopie!]]" and "[[FlatJoy Hi, Bavaro.]]"
44	** Since John Banner of ''Series/HogansHeroes'' fame is in the cast of the film, they make several references to Sgt. Schultz.
45	** Professor Newton being completely senile.
46	** Joel and the Bots expressing disgust any time someone mentions "evacuating."
47	* SerenadeYourLover: Crow and does do this to Gypsy in the "Gypsy Moons" segment. It goes smoohly until Gypsy rebuffs them in-song by saying she would rather date ''Stacy Koon'' [[note]]One of the LAPD officers [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacey_Koon involved in the]] Rodney King beating[[/note]] and Crow responds by singing [[BawdySong Bawdy lyrics]], which disgusts Joel to the point where he ends the whole thing.
48	* ShoutOut:
49	** Servo starts singing "[[Film/TheThomasCrownAffair1968 The Windmills of Your Mind]]", in reference to the spaceship's spinning, circular design.
50	** To the tune of "Do-Re-Mi" from ''Film/TheSoundOfMusic'':
51	--->'''Cleolanta:''' It's a plot! A trick!\
52	'''Crow:''' A fe-male trick~!
53	** Joel throws to radio DJ [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_%22Jazzbo%22_Collins Al "Jazzbeaux" Collins]] for a message while cutting off the sudden BawdySong ending "Gypsy Moons".
54	-->'''Joel:''' Stop! Stop! We hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane. And now here's our own Al "Jazzbeaux" Collins with a message. Never again you guys. That's it.
55	* VillainousBreakdown: When Joel and the bots send Dr. Forrester a Banner-Gram, Dr. F's eyes go wide and he bolts towards the screen, [[FauxHorrific screaming and begging]]:
56	-->'''Dr. F.''': DON'T YOU DO IT! DON'T YOU DO IT! I KNEW YOU SENT A BANNER-GRAM! FRANK, DON'T OPEN THE DOOR!\
57	'''TV's Frank''': Hey, someone sent us a Banner-Gram!\
58	'''Banner:''' Boopie!\
59	(''Dr. Forrester screams, SmashToBlack'')\
60	'''Frank:''' ''({{Beat}})'' ...Hi, Bavaro.
61	* WhamLine: After the crew gets a visit from Banner, Joel gets the idea of using the keyboard to send him away. But, to where?
62	-->'''Joel and the Bots''': (sing-songy) ''[[LaserGuidedKarma Oh, Dr. Forrester...]]''
63	-->(cut to Deep 13)
64	-->'''Dr. Forrester''': [[OhCrap (hears a doorbell; turns to the camera in horror)]]
65	----
66	->[[TheStinger "Boopie!"]]
