Film watched: ''Film/HighSchoolBigShot'' with the short ''Out of this World''

''Out of this World'' focuses on two file clerks in an ethereal office, the demonic Red and the angelic Whitey, who each investigate the case of Bill Dudley, a bread deliveryman known in the past for his rather poor performances on the job. Desiring to win a bet with Red, Whitey disguises herself as a magazine columnist and descends to Earth so she can interview Bill, who explains how he's learned from his mistakes on the job and how other deliverymen like him can do the same, all while Red appears in disguise and reminds Whitey to persuade Bill to stop working hard, as their bet demands.

The episode is available in the Gizmoplex [[https://www.gizmoplex.com/mst3k/season:6/videos/mst3k-137-highschoolbigshot here]].
!!The Segments:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Prologue ]]

* Mike has a bad headache, which gets worse when Crow practices his cymbals, Tom plays some bagpipes, and Gypsy can’t stop laughing about [[Series/{{Seinfeld}} Kramer]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 1 ]]

* Crow manages to stop Mike from using a drill to relieve the pressure in his head... until he puts on his safety goggles. Dr. Forrester, feeling exceptionally lazy today, gives everyone chemistry sets so they can do his work for him. Frank, tinkering with a piece of amber, manages to clone a baby dinosaur that promptly mauls Dr. F. On the SOL, Mike whips up a potion that turns Tom into a hulking giant.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 2 ]]

* Mike and the 'Bots dress up as bread salesman not unlike Bill Dudley to showcase their line of unusual "specialty breads".

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 3 ]]

* Crow and Tom proceed to drive by and egg Mike. With omelets. They throw hollandaise at him too, which he complains is too lemony.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 4 ]]

* Playing the roles of master thieves, Crow and Tom attempt to break into Gypsy’s diary with dynamite. When it fails, they use more and more.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Segment 5 ]]

* The crew re-enact the depressing KillEmAll ending of the movie with squirt guns. In an attempt to keep himself safe and get revenge for his mauling, Dr. Forrester gives the cloned dinosaur something else to chew on... by shoving it down Frank’s pants.

!!The ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' presentation of ''Out of this World'' has examples of:
* CurseCutShort: During the riffing:
-->'''Bill:''' That's why I keep these bullseyes handy. So that a small slip-up doesn't turn into a big trip-up.
-->'''Mike:''' Make sure you stock your truck up, so that you don't... well, you know.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Several bread-related puns get thrown out during the short.
* InterfaceScrew: Downplayed. As the short begins, Tom takes up more space than normal in the theater due to being gigantic, but it quickly wears off.
* MessianicArchetype: Joked about as a potential twist ending.
-->'''Tom:''' Oh, it's gonna turn out that the bread truck driver is Jesus.\\
'''Mike:''' "Hope you accept bread into your life!"
* RunningGag: Mike and the 'Bots portraying Bill as a mobster who [[ShameIfSomethingHappened threatens his prospects with harm unless they stock his bread]].
* ShameIfSomethingHappened: Invoked in the riffing:
-->'''Mike:''' (''as Bill'') Mr. Marco, you want my coffee ring today? Sure be a shame if something bad happened to your store here!
-->'''Bill''': How are you today?
-->'''Mr. Marco:''' Ehhh, I'm-a feel lousy.
-->'''Bill:''' Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
-->'''Servo:''' (''as Bill'') 'Cause I like you, Mr. Marco!
-->'''Bill:''' (''examining grocery cart'') Hey, something new.
-->'''Mike:''' (''as Bill'') Be a shame if this ran over your kid!
* SnapBack: After being turned into a giant [[HulkSpeak Hulk Speaking]] robot, Tom abruptly shrinks down to normal size during the short.

!!The ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' presentation of ''Film/HighSchoolBigShot'' has examples of:

* AnArmAndALeg: Dr. Forrester loses an arm due to Frank's little dinosaur experiment.
* ApatheticCitizens: Frank treats his newly-cloned dinosaur like a spoiled MrMuffykins as it viciously attacks a mostly offscreen Dr. Forrester.
-->'''Frank''': ''[deadpan; as Dr. Forrester is his foot nibbled on]'' No. Bad. Wrong. That is not nice. Bad.
* CallBack: Servo references the short at the beginning when he ponders where the bread display in a general store is.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Tom’s immediate reaction to [[KilledOffscreen the shadow of]] [[DrivenToSuicide Marc’s hanging father?]]
-->'''Tom''': Oh my God, he’s a puppeteer!
* ContrivedCoincidence: [[invoked]] Played for laughs: At the end of the movie, Tom decides that one of the cops arriving to arrest Marc was the same one called in regards to [[KilledOffscreen his dad's suicide]]:
-->'''Tom''': (as the cop) Aw, jeez, what a mess... [[LackOfEmpathy I just came from a scene where some unemployed bean-eater was swingin' from the ceiling...]]
* CreditsGag: Frank's yelping of pain as the dinosaur chews him up plays over the credits.
* DownerEnding: The writers said that the entire film was depressing, and that the downer ending [[InvertedTrope was a relief]].
* DoWrongRight: While Mike is alone on the bridge, Crow and Tom drive by and nail him with an omelette. He then proceeds to call them back to lecture them on how what they did [[ExactWords was wrong]]:
-->'''Mike''': Well, you see, when you egg someone, you’re supposed to use ''raw'' eggs, not ''omelettes'', you morons!
** Crow and Tom then retaliate with a drive-by ''Hollandaise-ing'' instead. Mike’s critique this time? [[InsultBackfire They made it too lemony.]]
* FastballSpecial: One too many instances of "Don't Pay the Ferryman" from Tom results in Mike [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5ysU58vQYE&t=28s grabbing and throwing him to the side.]]
* GentlemanThief: '''T.''' '''H'''ewett '''E'''dward Crow. He still can't get past the lock on Gypsy's diary.
* HulkSpeak: Tom develops this when Crow turns him huge.
-->'''Tom:''' Movie bad! Movie go away!
* HypocriticalHumor: After Mike screams in pain from his headache, Tom and Crow tell him off... even though the bots were exacerbating it with their loud shenanigans.
-->'''Tom''': Jeez, Mike, could you keep it down?!
-->'''Crow''': Yeah, have some consideration!
* KillerRabbit: Frank creates an adorable little T-Rex which goes on to savage Dr. F.
* LackOfEmpathy: At the start of the episode, Mike is suffering from a bad headache. Despite knowing this, Crow promptly begins practicing the cymbals. This is followed swiftly by Tom blasting his bagpipes[[note]]launching into "[[AmazingFreakingGrace Amazing Grace]]" due to not knowing [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Mike's "request" of "I Have a Headache"]][[/note]] and Gypsy busting a gut over ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'''s Kramer.
* LaserGuidedKarma:
** Although he acknowledges it was a tad harsh, Mike admits Tom deserved [[FastballSpecial getting thrown]] due to [[OverlyLongGag "Don't Pay the Ferryman"]].
** As payback for Frank [[ApatheticCitizens transparently]] letting the dinosaur attack him, Dr. Forrester shoves it down his pants at the end.
* NotSoDire: After the movie's DownerEnding, Mike argues that cheating on the Shakespeare paper kinda paled in comparison.
* OnTheNext: In response to the movie’s [[SoundtrackDissonance way too upbeat]] credits music, Tom spins it like the movie was broadcast on ''Nick at Nite'':
-->'''Tom Servo''': Coming up next on ''Nick at Nite'', one of the original black-and-white ''Series/IDreamOfJeannie'' episodes. (''laughs'') Then ''Series/FTroop''! Next, on ''Nick at Nite''.
* OverlyLongGag: Tom Servo repeatedly singing "Don't Pay the Ferryman", which [[FastballSpecial he pays for dearly.]]
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Mike suffering from a headache has a basis in reality; Mike Nelson actually does suffer from chronic headaches in real life.
* RunningGag:
** Exaggerating how poor the main character and his father are.
** Tom singing the Chris de Burgh song "Don't Pay the Ferryman", though [[Main/RunningGagged Mike eventually puts a stop to that]].
* ShoutOut: Frank manages to [[Literature/JurassicPark clone a superdeformed dinosaur from a piece of amber]] he had lying around. ''Film/JurassicPark'' hit theatres the previous year.
* ShoutOutToShakespeare: Vince gets SophisticatedAsHell while analyzing ''Theatre/{{Othello}}''.
* SpoofAesop: As "The End" shows on screen:
-->'''Crow:''' This is the P.T.A., reminding you to always do your homework!
* SuperSerum: Crow invents a potion that causes Tom to HulkOut into an [[PsychoSerum angry]] giant, but he gets better.
* ThisIsADrill: Attempted: Mike tries to alleviate his headache via self-trepanation with a power drill, only to get distracted by the Mads calling.
-->'''Crow''': ''[rushes up to Mike]'' ''[[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther MIKE! NO!]]''
-->'''Mike''': ''[flinches]'' Wha- what?! I have to relieve the pressure, it's the only way!
-->'''Crow''': Oh. ...well, [[SkewedPriorities at least wear your safety glasses.]]
* TooDumbToLive: "Servo, drink [[SuperSerum this]]!"
-->'''Tom''': Uh, okay!
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Towards the end, Crow jokes that none of the film's plot would have happened if Marv's and Betty's teacher hadn't found out they were cheating on the final.
* WithCatlikeTread: Crow's GentlemanThief attempts to stealthily break into Gypsy's diary with ''dynamite.''
* WithLyrics: Over the main titles:
-->'''Servo:''' ''[singing]'' High School Big Shot. / A real High School Big Shot. / A High School Big Shot! / He's a Big Shot in High School!
-->'''Mike and Crow''': ''[singing]'' Big shot, big shot, BIG SHOT, BIG SHOT!
