History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E20RadarSecretService

* WithCatlikeTread: Mike mocks the fact that the radar chopper, whilst trailing the mobsters and their loot, flies extremely low to the ground. Specifically, less than 30 feet above the road and almost certainly visible in their rearview mirrors. "You know, it's more like Radar Obvious Service."

* TooDumbToLive: Frank and his girl turning and looking backwards to wave at his brother as they approach a railroad crossing:

** Tom Servo notices that one driver looks like Elmer Fudd and sings, [[WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc “Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit, kill da waaaaabbit!”]]

'''Trooper Hal:''' A parked car that suddenly pulls out without looking – it’s always sudden, of course, and always surprising.\\

* DespairEventHorizon: Mike and the Bots joke that the cop’s heavy-handed speech about fatal accidents drives the whole family to tears.

-->'''Frank Jr:''' ''[joking]'' I surrender, Hal, I give up! What’s the charge?\\

* HitlerCam: A very low-angle shot of a Washington DC police officer prompts Tom to call him “Garganto-cop”.

* LiteralMinded: Tom sees a railroad crossing “RR” sign, and reads it as "Rrrrrrrrr!"

-->'''Crow:''' Doesn’t anybody do any chores on this farm?

-->'''Servo:''' Don’t trust anyone! Turn your back on hope and love!

-->'''Mike:''' Never let this happen to you. Don’t make the mistake these people made. Don’t die.

'''Trooper Hal:''' ''[later]'' But if you paid no attention to the signs, didn’t look, and didn’t listen...\\

-->'''Trooper Hal:''' Most people who’ve lived through an accident involving a train, say—\\
'''Servo:''' “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh!” That’s what they say.

'''Servo:''' They’re dead, they’re dead, they’re diddloodoo \\
dead, they’re dead, they’re dead, they’re doodloodeedoopdee dead!\\
'''Everyone:''' They’re dead, they’re dead, they’re dead...

* TakeThat: “Man, I thought [=RadioShack=] stood for quality!” “It stands for ‘failing mall’.”

Dr. Forrester makes much of ''Radar Secret Service'' containing "Hypno-Helio-Static-Stasis, with X-4" -- which basically translates into lots of padding with boring, identical men in boring, identical suits.

'''Trooper Hal:''' A parked car that suddenly pulls out without looking -- it’s always sudden, of course, and always surprising.\\

-->'''Trooper Hal:''' Most people who’ve lived through an accident involving a train, say --\\

'''Servo:''' [[WholesomeCrossdresser My pantyhose]]! -- [[VerbalBackspace I-I mean, uh]], [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial what are those?]]

** While describing Hypno-Helio-Static-Statis, the Mads mention "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E08LostContinent rock climbing]]" and "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E10HerculesAgainstTheMoonMen deep hurting]]". (Ironically, Dr. Forrester specifically asks the riffers if they remember "Rock Climbing" and "Deep Hurting"--but Mike couldn't possibly remember, because Joel was on the S.O.L. for those experiments. We don't get to see Mike's reaction to the question.)

* PaperThinDisguise: TV's Fra -- er, Dr. Felix Frankenkeister. The good doctor sports an obviously fake beard (what looks like a felt cutout) while explaining "Hypno-Helio Static Stasis". At one point, he can be seen taking off his beard to scratch at his chin and then struggle to put it back on while Dr. F taunts the crew.

'''Mike:''' Oh, okay -- name my character!\\
'''Servo:''' Gee, um, duh -- I ''can't''!\\

* SeinfeldianConversation: Due to the increasingly vast breadth of ''nothing'' happening on-screen, Mike, Tom and Crow all begin to chat with each other instead of cracking jokes -- ''Kotter'' trivia is just the tip of the iceberg.

-->'''Crow:''' ''[as Michael]'' It's not the radar, it's the size of the amplitude -- if you know what I mean.

-->'''Crow:''' ''[as Trooper Hal]'' Could you identify this [[MadeOfPlasticine bucketful of your brother]]?

!!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation of ''Last Clear Chance'' contains examples of:
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The longer the short goes on, Trooper Hal becomes TheThingThatWouldNotLeave at best, and a borderline demonic entity at worst.
-->'''Trooper Hal''': It's a strange thing, but some people actually resent traffic signs and traffic laws.
-->'''Mike''': ''[near-tears; as one of the family members]'' Well, we resent you being here...
** The speech he gives at the end of the short is interpreted as him having [[SanitySlippage a full meltdown]].
* AmbiguouslyGay:
-->'''Mike:''' ''[as Alan]'' Hey, my ''Advocate'' is here!
* AwfulTruth: In the short, Trooper Hal revealing Robert Benbridge had died was meant to be a mildly shocking moment. In the riff?
-->'''Trooper Hal''': ''[on the topic of people thinking traffic laws are beneath themselves; grabs a piece of paper]'' Here's one like that. "Robert Benbridge".
-->'''Alan''': "Benbridge"? From Meridian High?
-->'''Trooper Hal''': Yeah.
-->'''Alan''': Oh, I know him, I run against him on the track team!
-->'''Crow''': ''[as Trooper Hal; as he shows Alan the accident report]'' Well, do you know him like ''this?!''
-->'''Tom''': ''[as Alan]'' [[BigNo No, OH, AAAAAAAAAGH!]] Dear God... Who ''are'' you? ''What'' are you?! (sobs)
* BadBadActing: Mike and the Bots' parody PSA of the short doubles down on the stiff, awkward dialogue milking [[MundaneHorror horror from the mundane]], with Tom dressed up as Trooper Hal and Mike pantomiming blithely waving and laughing at someone offscreen.
-->'''"Trooper Tom Servo":''' Listen, brother. Nearly forty percent of all accidents represent, uh, [[ShapedLikeItself nearly half of all accidents]]. But [[SarcasmMode who cares]], have fun [[IncrediblyLameFun with your lint trap]]. Nothing will happen to you. It'll happen to "the other guy."\\
'''Mike:''' ''[throws lint on his face and screams in mock agony]'' AAAAAGGGH!\\
'''Crow:''' ''[dressed as a train engineer]'' Why don't they...\\
'''Mike:''' ''[throws more lint on his other eye and screams again]'' AAAAAGHHH!\\
'''Crow:''' Why don't they look.
* BerserkButton: Tom Servo (as Trooper Tom) has just about had enough of the idiotic general public.
-->'''Tom:''' Why do I even bother with the brainless gibbons in this stinking hole of a town? Well I wash my hands of it! Pahhh!
* BlackComedy:
-->'''Crow:''' ''[as cop]'' Could you identify this bucketful of your brother?
* CarFu: After a near-miss by an inattentive driver:
-->'''Servo:''' ''[as pedestrian who looks vaguely like UsefulNotes/HenryKissinger]'' Ach, Mister President, please watch where you're going!
-->'''Crow:''' ''[as motorist]'' Whoa, I almost ran over Kissinger! [[TakeThat I'll have to go back.]]
* CelebrityResemblance:
** Tom Servo notices that one driver looks like Elmer Fudd and sings, [[WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc “Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit, kill da waaaaabbit!”]]
** Also the above pedestrian's resemblance to Kissinger.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
-->'''Trooper Hal:''' Maybe a man will do these things a hundred times in perfect safety.\\
'''Servo:''' So the odds are pretty good!\\
...\\
'''Trooper Hal:''' A parked car that suddenly pulls out without looking -- it’s always sudden, of course, and always surprising.\\
'''Mike:''' But never dull.
* CrypticallyUnhelpfulAnswer:
-->'''Trooper Hal:''' Now where did that train come from?\\
'''Crow:''' The station?
* DespairEventHorizon: Mike and the Bots joke that the cop’s heavy-handed speech about fatal accidents drives the whole family to tears.
-->'''Mike''': ''[as Alan's father; pleading]'' Would you ''please, please leave''?
* DistractedByTheSexy: "Forty percent of all accidents are caused by women's hinders." "Rrr!"
* DoomMagnet:
-->'''Trooper Hal:''' 40% of all highway accidents involve a car that has already stopped.\\
'''Mike:''' Driven by ''this guy''.
* DrivenToSuicide: This is how Mike spins how Alan reacts to learning Robert Benbridge died in a car accident:
-->'''Mike''': ''[as Alan; distraught]'' I'm gonna throw myself into the thresher...
* EpicFail:
-->'''Tom:''' Oh, I know you're just going to eat that sandwich ''a little bit''. With ''a little bit'' of mayo, and ''a little bit'' of hard salami.\\
'''Mike:''' ''[stabs himself in the eye with half of a sandwich]'' AAAAAGGH!!\\
'''Crow:''' Why don't they look?
* ExactWords: Trooper Hal spends the entire short talking about how minor distractions can lead to fatal accidents. When the big accident does happen, it's because the driver was doing something so insanely dangerous that even someone who'd never seen a car before would know better. Naturally, the gang can't help but point it out.
-->'''Servo:''' ''[as Frank Jr.]'' Hey, the cop never said anything about doing intensely stupid things!
* EyeScream: During the "Why Don't They Look" sketch, Mike's character "accidentally" shoves the corner of a sandwich, a strip of lint, and a ''hotplate'' into his eye. Trooper Tom warns that "Oh sure, you can have a lot of fun with {{Mad Scientist}}s! Until someone loses an eye!"
* FailedASpotCheck: With footage of a train barreling past the camera:
-->'''Trooper Hal:''' It seems impossible that anyone could fail to see or hear a train in motion.\\
'''Servo:''' What train?
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When introducing the short, Dr. Forrester calls it [[LiteralMetaphor a trainwreck]].
* HaHaHaNo:
-->'''Frank Jr:''' ''[joking]'' I surrender, Hal, I give up! What’s the charge?\\
'''Crow:''' ''[as Trooper Hal]'' Ha ha--! '''Manslaughter.'''
* HitlerCam: A very low-angle shot of a Washington DC police officer prompts Tom to call him “Garganto-cop”.
* IdentifyingTheBody: The short ends with Frank Jr. failing to watch the road and dying in a collision with a moving train. His brother Alan saw the accident and is obviously distraught, and Trooper Hal tries to comfort him. Then Crow decides to inject some BlackComedy into the scene:
-->'''Crow:''' ''[as Trooper Hal]'' Could you identify this [[MadeOfPlasticine bucketful of your brother]]?
* IfYouDieICallYourStuff: Just before the kid becomes street pizza, Servo calls out "Can I have your room?".
* LiteralMinded: Tom sees a railroad crossing “RR” sign, and reads it as "Rrrrrrrrr!"
* MundaneHorror: The riffs push the already fairly morbid short into MaybeMagicMaybeMundane horror territory, with Trooper Hal as some kind of terrifying GrimReaper figure [[MonsterFromBeyondTheVeil from beyond the veil]].
-->'''Tom:''' ''[during the sketch]'' Hi. I'm Trooper Tom Servo. I've seen it all, stared into the gapin' maw of death, and I'm here to remind you of the horror that lurks everywhere.
* OneHourWorkWeek:
-->'''Crow:''' Doesn’t anybody do any chores on this farm?
* TheParanoiac: The trooper warns to always be aware at train crossings, and Tom decides to take it a few steps further.
-->'''Servo:''' Don’t trust anyone! Turn your back on hope and love!
* RunningGag: "Why don't they look?", during the second host segment and throughout the feature, and which would go on to be one of the Mike era's go-to recurring riffs.
* SanitySlippage: Crow and Tom treat Trooper Hal's angry rant against speeders as this.
-->'''Trooper Hal:''' ''DON'T'' tell me that you were speeding a ''LITTLE'', only ''BREAKING'' the law a ''LITTLE''...\\
'''Servo:''' Uh, oh...\\
'''Trooper Hal:''' ...only doing something a ''LITTLE'' bit wrong, save ''THAT'' for somebody ''else,'' ''BROTHER!''\\
'''Crow:''' OH MY GOD, HE'S SNAPPED!\\
'''Trooper Hal''': Because I've seen too many "little" follies...\\
'''Servo''': He's a bad cop on the loose!\\
'''Trooper Hal''': ...that end up with someone a "little bit" dead!\\
'''Mike''': Now I'm gonna grab a little bit of lunch!
* ShameIfSomethingHappened:
-->'''Mike:''' ''[as Mrs. Dixon]'' I thought we were all paid up.\\
'''Servo:''' ''[as Trooper Hal]'' Gonna need another fifty. Real shame if something happened to this land...
* ShoutOut:
** [[Film/SevenBridesForSevenBrothers "Bless this beautiful day..."]]
** "...then this train might come as a surprise to you." "[[Series/SoulTrain The Sooooooouuuuul Train!]]"
** "This is the prequel to ''Literature/InColdBlood''."
** [[Theatre/CatOnAHotTinRoof "It's Big Daddy's birthday! I've got life in me, Big Daddy!"]]
** Mike compares a street ablaze with neon signs to [[Film/ItsAWonderfulLife Pottersville]].
** "[[SacredCow Trains are blameless, holy creatures!]]"[[invoked]][[note]]A reference to the the literal [[TropeNamer sacred cows]] of UsefulNotes/{{India}}, with laws against the slaughter of cattle across most of the country.[[/note]]
* SpoofAesop: Right at the beginning of the short:
-->'''Mike:''' Never let this happen to you. Don’t make the mistake these people made. Don’t die.
** And then at the end:
--->'''Mike:''' Never wave while driving.\\
'''Crow:''' Never look backwards while driving forwards.\\
'''Servo:''' Never, under any circumstances, drive with your butt cheeks.
* TheSocialDarwinist:
-->'''Trooper Hal:''' Hard as it is to believe, there are many accidents where the driver ran past three warning signs, and straight into the side of a moving train.\\
'''Mike:''' Ahh, good riddance, I say.\\
'''Trooper Hal:''' ''[later]'' But if you paid no attention to the signs, didn’t look, and didn’t listen...\\
'''Servo:''' Then you deserve to die.
* TheTalk:
-->'''Trooper Hal:''' I thought this would be a good time to come by and tell you a few of the facts of life about driving, before you get started.\\
'''Mike:''' You see, when a man loves a car very much, you recline the seat back...
* TooDumbToLive: Frank and his girl turning and looking backwards to wave at his brother as they approach a railroad crossing:
-->'''Servo:''' ''[as Frank Jr.]'' Hey, the cop never said anything about doing intensely stupid things!
* TotallyRadical: Hotplates are "boss" and "cool".
* TriviallyObvious:
-->'''Trooper Hal:''' Most people who’ve lived through an accident involving a train, say --\\
'''Servo:''' “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh!” That’s what they say.
* TheUntwist [[invoked]]
-->'''Crow:''' I have a feeling one of these characters is about to see their own intestines.
* TruthInTelevision: Not the obvious part of "an incoming train is dangerous", but rather Mike's joke that trains are "blameless, holy creatures". The fact is, even if the driver applies the brakes the instant they see you, a freight train at speed ''cannot'' stop before it hits you. The train really is blameless.
** Even the title of the short reflects this, as it refers to a common law rule that, in an accident between two parties, the party with the "last clear chance" to prevent or avoid the accident bears some responsibility, even if the other party was ultimately at fault. In any collision between car and train, the car had the last clear chance to avoid the accident.
* ValuesDissonance: Invoked, as a montage of traffic signs leads the Bots to offer their own examples.
-->'''Crow:''' "All Nude Girls".\\
'''Servo:''' "Whites Only".
* VisualPun: When portraying the mournful engineer with a pencil mustache, Crow balances a literal pencil on his beak, black and sharpened at both ends.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: After the outburst from the cop, Crow and Tom do their own epilogue, claiming that the police force fired the cop ages ago, disavowed everything he did in the movie and set up strict rules for cops going to farms.
* WithLyrics: Mike and the Bots sing along with the music from the end credits as they walk out of the theater.
-->'''Mike:''' People are dead, people are dying every day...\\
'''Servo:''' They’re dead, they’re dead, they’re diddloodoo \\
dead, they’re dead, they’re dead, they’re doodloodeedoopdee dead!\\
'''Everyone:''' They’re dead, they’re dead, they’re dead...
* WomenDrivers: When Hal warns about the dangers of distracted driving, using footage of a woman reading a map instead of paying attention to the road, Mike concludes that woman drivers are the real danger.

!!The ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' presentation of ''Radar Secret Service'' includes examples of:
* BedsheetLadder: Mike attempts to escape by fashioning one of these (long enough to reach from the SOL to Earth) from the Bots' unmentionables.
-->'''Gypsy:''' ''[gasping]'' MY BRA!\\
'''Servo:''' [[WholesomeCrossdresser My pantyhose]]! -- [[VerbalBackspace I-I mean, uh]], [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial what are those?]]
* BerserkButton:
** [[SeriousBusiness Don't screw with]] Crow's [[GoofyPrintUnderwear Underoos]].
** At the end of the experiment, TV's Frank looks like he's about to push Dr. F's BerserkButton [[OhCrap big time]]... then the bad Doctor [[LateToThePunchline gets the joke]], and The Mads walk off into background, [[EverybodyLaughsEnding chuckling away, with Dr. Forrester pressing the button as he goes]].
* ContinuityNod:
** Among the items Mike confiscates for his BedsheetLadder are Crow's [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E07TheKillerShrews sensible brown pants]].
** While describing Hypno-Helio-Static-Statis, the Mads mention "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E08LostContinent rock climbing]]" and "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E10HerculesAgainstTheMoonMen deep hurting]]". (Ironically, Dr. Forrester specifically asks the riffers if they remember "Rock Climbing" and "Deep Hurting"--but Mike couldn't possibly remember, because Joel was on the S.O.L. for those experiments. We don't get to see Mike's reaction to the question.)
** "[[Film/MonsterAGoGo But there was no monster]]."
** "[[Film/VikingWomenAndTheSeaSerpent Noooo waffles!]]"
** "[[Film/IAccuseMyParents Are you happy, in your work?]]"
** "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E19TheRebelSet A helio-copter aero-plane!]]"
* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: Mike performs the old "is not"/"is too" switcheroo on TV's Frank in the final host segment when he and the Bots explain they survived the movie's interminable dullness thanks to "Ecstato-Euphoro-Fun" with "patented Hinder 90", which Frank insists doesn't even exist.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Servo's underwear collection has come up before. Mike using ''one pair'' of Underoos in his bedsheet ladder turns out to be his BerserkButton.
* HerrDoktor: Frank as Dr. Felix Frankenkeister. Ja, jaaa...
* HurricaneOfPuns: When the film shows a back of a car.
-->'''Mike''': Hey, Freddy Fender!\\
'''Crow''': Creator/OttoPreminger!
-->'''Servo''': James Carville!\\
'''Mike''': Creator/HarrisonFord!
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Frank, forgetting [[PaperThinDisguise he's supposed to be]] Dr. [[HerrDoktor Frankenkeister]].
* PaperThinDisguise: TV's Fra -- er, Dr. Felix Frankenkeister. The good doctor sports an obviously fake beard (what looks like a felt cutout) while explaining "Hypno-Helio Static Stasis". At one point, he can be seen taking off his beard to scratch at his chin and then struggle to put it back on while Dr. F taunts the crew.
* RunningGag:
** The movie is black and white, so the cars are huge.
--->'''Mike:''' The house I grew up in was smaller than this car.
** "...thanks to radar!"
** ''[whispered]'' ''"Radar!"''
** Singing ClassicRock {{Driving Song}}s veeerrryy slowwwlly during the many shots of cars gradually making their way across the screen.
** Mike and the 'Bots discuss ''Series/WelcomeBackKotter'' trivia all through the experiment after Crow "becomes" Arnold Horshack during the opening segment.
** Calling out advertising slogans for various round objects ("Round things; 90% off ''round things''") when the Radar Secret Service's radar car is on screen.
** "[[WithLyrics Oh, those Golden Grahams!]]"
** Jokes about how the various characters are indistinguishable from each other, leaving Mike and the Bots confused ("I thought that woman was supposed to be ''that'' woman!")
--->'''Mike:''' ''[during brawl between cop and mobster]'' I'm dull!\\
'''Servo:''' No, I'm way duller!\\
'''Mike:''' Oh, okay -- name my character!\\
'''Servo:''' Gee, um, duh -- I ''can't''!\\
'''Mike:''' See! See! Now, which one of us is the good guy?\\
'''Servo:''' I don't know, I don't know! Who am ''I''?!?
* SanitySlippage: Crow, big time. After Mike puts Crow's torn Underoos in his net, he starts chanting, "Panties! Panties!", then giggles like a little girl and coos, "I got 'em! Hee hee hee!"
* SeinfeldianConversation: Due to the increasingly vast breadth of ''nothing'' happening on-screen, Mike, Tom and Crow all begin to chat with each other instead of cracking jokes -- ''Kotter'' trivia is just the tip of the iceberg.
* ShoutOut: Upon seeing the title, Mike and the Bots quip that it's a spy film starring [[Series/{{MASH}} Gary Burghoff]].
* SickAndWrong: Gypsy comments, "This is wrong" while Mike applies underwear to Crow to keep him calm, as Crow giddily says, "Keep 'em coming!"
* StockFootage:
-->'''Mike:''' Duplicate shots, with ''radar''. Yes, thanks to radar, we only needed to shoot ''three'' scenes!
* TakeThat: “Man, I thought [=RadioShack=] stood for quality!” “It stands for ‘failing mall’.”
* TechnoBabble: "Hypno-Helio Static Stasis" is utterly meaningless. "Ecstato-Euphoro Fun" less so, apart from "Patented Hinder-90".
* UnusualEuphemism: As mobster Moran's girl blows him off while Michael, the mastermind of the heist, promises to pick her up that evening,
-->'''Crow:''' ''[as Michael]'' It's not the radar, it's the size of the amplitude -- if you know what I mean.
* UseYourHead: Crow tries this on The Mads' button... and his right eye pops out for all his troubles.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The fate of Sid Melton's character is not shown even in the uncut film. Crow has his own theory:
-->'''Crow:''' ''[as the gangsters load boxes of atomic material in a truck]'' Each box contains a piece of Sid Melton.
* WithCatlikeTread: Mike mocks the fact that the radar chopper, whilst trailing the mobsters and their loot, flies extremely low to the ground. Specifically, less than 30 feet above the road and almost certainly visible in their rearview mirrors. "You know, it's more like Radar Obvious Service."
* WithLyrics: The rising violin for scenes of quote-unquote intrigue: "(bummm) [[RunningGag Oh, those Golden Grahams!]] (bumm) ''Oh, those Golden Grahams! (bummm) '''Oh those Golden Grahams!'''''"

!!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation of ''Last Clear Chance'' contains examples of:

Dr. Forrester makes much of ''Radar Secret Service'' containing "Hypno-Helio-Static-Stasis" -- which basically translates into lots of padding and boring, identical men in boring, identical suits.

* Mike performs some routine maintenance on Crow, but things go awry when he triggers an Arnold Horshack mechanism.

* Mike has tied various articles of clothing to make a BedsheetLadder back down to Earth, which Crow objects to when his Underroos are involved. Dr. Forrester enlists Dr. Felix Frankenkeister[[note]]TV's Frank in a fake beard and suit[[/note]] to give a presentation on Hypno-Helio-Static-Stasis, which contains X-4.

* State trooper Tom has words of advice to share about how dangerous sandwiches, lint traps, hot plates, and mad scientists can be. Train engineer Crow wants to know why doesn't anyone look.

* To help stave off the Hypno-Helio-Static-Stasis, the 'Bots host the Class of '83 reunion and role-play Mike's old school buddies. It's rather awkward, but their hearts were in the right place.

* Mike and Crow run a project idea by Servo: the Quinn Martin nature preserve, where old character actors can roam free in their own habitat. Tom believes that the symptoms are just getting worse.

* Mike and the 'Bots have produced a cure for Hypno-Helio-Static-Stasis: Ecstato-Euphoro Fun, with patented Hinder-90! It turns B-movies into "yippee"-movies! Dr. Forrester tries to explain his failure to Frank, who can only laugh from all the butt references, infecting Dr. F with the same giddiness.

* TooDumbToLive: Frank and his girl looking backwards to wave at his brother as they approach a railroad crossing:

-->'''Gypsy:''' ''(gasping)'' MY BRA!\\

** ''(whispered)'' ''"Radar!"''

--->'''Mike:''' ''(during brawl between cop and mobster)'' I'm dull!\\

-->'''Crow:''' ''(as Michael)'' It's not the radar, it's the size of the amplitude -- if you know what I mean.

-->'''Crow:''' ''(as the gangsters load boxes of atomic material in a truck)'' Each box contains a piece of Sid Melton.

-->'''Mike''': (near-tears; as one of the family members) Well, we resent you being here...

-->'''Mike:''' ''(as Alan)'' Hey, my ''Advocate'' is here!

-->'''Trooper Hal''': (on the topic of people thinking traffic laws are beneath themselves; grabs a piece of paper) Here's one like that. "Robert Benbridge".

-->'''Crow''': (as Trooper Hal; as he shows Alan the accident report) Well, do you know him like ''this?!''
-->'''Tom''': (as Alan) [[BigNo No, OH, AAAAAAAAAGH!]] ''Dear God...'' Who are you? ''What'' are you?! (sobs)
* BadBadActing: Mike and the bots' parody PSA of the short doubles down on the stiff, awkward dialogue milking [[MundaneHorror horror from the mundane]], with Tom dressed up as Trooper Hal and Mike pantomiming blithely waving and laughing at someone offscreen.

-->'''Crow:''' ''(as cop)'' Could you identify this bucketful of your brother?

-->'''Servo:''' ''(as pedestrian who looks vaguely like UsefulNotes/HenryKissinger)'' Ach, Mister President, please watch where you're going!
-->'''Crow:''' ''(as motorist)'' Whoa, I almost ran over Kissinger! [[TakeThat I'll have to go back.]]

-->'''Mike''': (as Alan's father; pleading) Would you ''please, please leave''?

-->'''Mike''': (as Alan; distraught) ''I'm gonna throw myself into the thresher...''

-->'''Servo:''' ''[as Frank, Jr.]'' Hey, the cop never said anything about doing intensely stupid things!

-->'''Frank, Jr:''' ''(joking)'' I surrender, Hal, I give up! What’s the charge?\\
'''Crow:''' ''(as Trooper Hal)'' Ha ha--! '''Manslaughter.'''

-->'''Crow:''' ''(as Trooper Hal)'' Could you identify this [[MadeOfPlasticine bucketful of your brother]]?

-->'''Mike:''' ''(as Mrs. Dixon)'' I thought we were all paid up.\\
'''Servo:''' ''(as Trooper Hal)'' Gonna need another fifty. Real shame if something happened to this land...
