One of three episodes in the series to feature two completely different short films played back-to-back. In ''Posture Pals'', a quartet of elementary school kids work in class and at home to improve their posture so they can be crowned King, Queen, Prince, and Princess of Posture. ''Appreciating Our Parents'' focuses on a young boy named Tommy, who learns how hard his mother and father work to provide him with a decent living, so he decides to contribute to his "family team" as well.

!!The Mystery Science Theater 3000 version provides the following Tropes:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Dr. Forrester to Joel: "Look, you bombastic biscuit boy..."
* BodyHorror: As a result of the home video incident, Crow becomes a charred mess, with his mouth practically shorn off, eyes being reduced to resting on a stick, and being left with only one (sling-covered) arm.
* CallBack: Joel starts to say the classic ''Sea Hunt'' line "By this time, my lungs were aching for air", then stops himself when he remembers that [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E04GameraVsBarugon he forbade that riff]].
* {{Calvinball}}: Crow and Tom cobble together various leftover board game parts into a board game version of ''The Unearthly''. Joel spends so long explaining the rules, which mostly have to do with how players can lose a turn, they don't actually get to play the game before Commercial Sign comes on.
* ContinuityNod: A snapshot of the junk-cluttered SOL bridge includes past Invention Exchange items, including the [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E18StarForceFugitiveAlienII Big Head]], the [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E06TimeOfTheApes Cellulite Phone and standup of Judge Wapner]].
* CrackOhMyBack: When Mary corrects her doll's posture, Joel starts screaming, "Oh, no! ''My spiiine! '''AAAAAAAAAGH!'''''" Tom supplies the cracking sound effects as well.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "Players who lose one turn, '''lose one turn'''."
* HawaiianShirtedTourist: Invoked during the ''Posture Pals'' riffing, as a kid is shown dressed in this manner while working with his dad on a model plane.
-->'''Narrator:''' Jimmy's father reminds Jimmy when he stands off-balance. An airplane shouldn't stand crooked... So Jimmy remembers: a boy shouldn't, either.
