* CrossesTheLineTwice: The scenes with the pets getting killed are often seen as pretty horrific, especially the dog Sparkle in the second story, but there are those who feel the riffs push the scenes into BlackComedy, or at least make them more bearable. One such example is when David finds the dog's body in the garage after the monkey sets off a fire in there:
---> '''Servo''': We're gonna change the dog's name to "Crispy".

* HilariousInHindsight: Late in the film, Mike makes a joke about the father rushing to get ''Film/BarbWire'' at the video store. This is already a ShoutOut to that film causing the studio to dump the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' movie. What brings it firmly into '''this''' trope? The first time this episode aired, Sci-Fi ran heavy advertising for '''their''' broadcast of ''Film/BarbWire'' during this episode.

Moving from the original movie\'s YMMV page, since it seemed more fitting to MST 3 K than the film they riffed.
