!!The [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] treatment of ''Johnny at the Fair'' brings us:
* BeardOfEvil: When Johnny enters the Chemical Wonderland...
--> '''Crow:''' A whiskery man hands him a small package. "The first one's free," he says...
* BlackComedy: Oh yes! A little boy exploring the World's Fair becomes a full-fledged descent into madness.
* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: "Oh look, it's the Arc de Full Retreat!"
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: When Johnny comes across people bicycling on tightropes, Joel and the bots suggest that this is how they punish speeders in Canada.
* EldritchAbomination: Tom [[MoodWhiplash cheerfully]] narrates, "Then Johnny transmogrifies! He's a shapeshifter! ''[Laughs]'' [[SignsOfTheEndTimes And he breaks the fourth seal...]]"
* FlatWhat: The crew's reaction to the narrator pronouncing "helicopter" as "heel-oh-copter".
* ForWantOfANail: PlayedForLaughs: It is eventually determined that Johnny getting lost at the fair is what caused the plot of ''The Rebel Set'' to occur.
* HypocriticalHumor: Joel admonishes the bots for their tendency toward dark humor at the beginning of the short, but doesn't criticize any of the jokes they make... and there are a LOT of them. Nor are any of his own wisecracks any less dark.
-->'''Joel:''' [''watching Johnny riding in a speedboat''] Johnny's hydroplane disintegrates on impact...
* IronicEcho: "'Jiminy,' thinks Johnny, 'if only I could get a ride in one of those!'" First said by the narrator when Johnny spots "a heel-o-copter airplane"; later repeated by Crow as Johnny is being snuggled in Barbara Ann Scott's bosom.
* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: Mocked:
-->'''Narrator:''' (Johnny's parents) have looked everywhere... everywhere except one place.\\
'''Crow:''' Their own hearts.
* ParentalNeglect: Ruthlessly and hilariously implied in the riffing. "Mommy had a little vacation while you were gone!"
* SanitySlippage: Part of their interpretation of Johnny's adventure:
-->'''Servo:''' Johnny feels dark hands pushing him onward. The voices in his head get meaner.

** Dr. F and Frank use the hypothetical situation of going to the movies as an example of the Quick Primp Kit, followed by this exchange.
--->'''Dr. F:''' Now, say for demonstration purposes, Frank and I are in line to see, oh, ''Film/{{Out on a Limb|1992}}''...\\
'''Frank:''' Well, in [[BoxOfficeBomb that case]], we'd be seated already.
