!!The [=MST3K=] treatment of Aquatic Wizards provides examples of:
* ForgotICouldntSwim: Joked about by MST3K.
--> '''Joel''': Miles from the dock and they can't swim, I love that trick!
* GenderIsNoObject: Water-skiing is shown to be enjoyed by both genders, albeit slightly segregated for instruction.
* MaleGaze: Par for the course, considering the ubiquitous swim-clad women, with the narrator admonishing the viewer for (presumably) ogling the bare legs of multiple women presenting different types of water-skis.
* MrFanservice: The camera takes a few lingering shots of the rather well-toned physiques of Alfredo Mendoza and "Chad Slabbody".
* SinkOrSwimMentor: Humorously implied in the MST3K version.
-->'''Tom Servo''': And the incentive to stay up is...crocodiles!
