!!The Segments:
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Prologue ]]

* Crow tries to sell Grit to Joel and Servo. Not the newspaper, actual, literal grit.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 1 ]]

* 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.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 2 ]]

* Competing for Gypsy's love, Crow and Servo put on a 1920s-style serenade for her, aptly named "Beneath the Gypsy Moons".

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 3 ]]

* 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.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 4 ]]

* Crow has Joel and Servo read from his new sci-fi screenplay. The overuse of incoherent space-babble drives them nuts.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 5 ]]

* 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.

!!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation contains examples of:

* ArmlessBiped: While neither of them are bipeds, Gypsy has no arms and Tom's don't work. Lampshaded in "Gypsy Moons":
-->'''Tom:''' Take my hand! Oh, you can't.
* 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--''"
* BreakingTheReviewersWall: Today it's John Banner/Bavaro crossing over from the movie.
* CatchPhrase: Joel and company are delighted by Bavaro's affectionate "Boopie!", and [[CallBack call it back]] a few times in future seasons.
* CreditsGag: John Banner's Banner-Gram continues [[OverlyLongGag over the full duration]] of the end credits.
* DudeMagnet: Joel and the bots definitely think Cleolanta is a hottie.
-->'''Cleolanta:''' You are presumptuous.\\
'''Joel:''' And you are numtuous!
* 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.
* 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}}.
* NotSoStoic: Joel is annoyed when Crow turns "Gypsy Moons" into a BawdySong.
* 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.
* RunningGag:
** "...[[CatchPhrase Boopie!]]" and "[[FlatJoy Hi, Bavaro.]]"
** Since John Banner of ''Series/HogansHeroes'' fame is in the cast of the film, they make several references to Sgt. Schultz.
** Professor Newton being completely senile.
** Joel and the Bots expressing disgust any time someone mentions "evacuating."
* 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.
* ShoutOut:
** Servo starts singing "[[Film/TheThomasCrownAffair1968 The Windmills of Your Mind]]", in reference to the spaceship's spinning, circular design.
** To the tune of "Do-Re-Mi" from ''Film/TheSoundOfMusic'':
--->'''Cleolanta:''' It's a plot! A trick!\\
'''Crow:''' A fe-male trick~!
** 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".
-->'''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.
* 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]]:
-->'''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!\\
'''TV's Frank''': Hey, someone sent us a Banner-Gram!\\
'''Banner:''' Boopie!\\
(''Dr. Forrester screams, SmashToBlack'')\\
'''Frank:''' ''({{Beat}})'' ...Hi, Bavaro.
* WhamLine: After the crew gets a visit from Banner, Joel gets the idea of using the keyboard to send him away. But, to where?
-->'''Joel and the Bots''': (sing-songy) ''[[LaserGuidedKarma Oh, Dr. Forrester...]]''
-->(cut to Deep 13)
-->'''Dr. Forrester''': [[OhCrap (hears a doorbell; turns to the camera in horror)]]
