History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S06E12TheStarfighters

** Also leading to a CrowningMomentOfFunny as the pilots practice bombing the absolute shit out of the desert while muzak plays:

* The United Servo Academy Men's Chorus, conducted by Vice Brigadier Thomas "Bullhead" Servo perform the United Servo Academy Men's Chorus Hymn.

-->'''Tom:''' "Looking for UART at Fx1050", what does that mean?

** "That was a ''great'' scene." after anything but.

** (Repeats the MST3KMantra)

* IncrediblyLamePun: Mike's de-briefing. Still funny though. Mike is [[FridgeLogic puzzled]] over how they got his underwear off without removing his jumpsuit.

** Also a nice reminder of the days when we hadn't quite settled on what the Internet should be called given the massive array of protocols back then (HTTP not being as big as it is now) and a lot of people latched onto the clumsy term "information superhighway" coined by AlGore. It's buzzwordy!

* {{Irony}}: John Witkowski Sr., who previously flew in bombers in the military, wants John Witkowski Jr. to switch to bombers rather than fighters such as the F-104 Starfighter. The latter was played by Bob Dornan, nicknamed "B-1," as in the bomber. The veteran Dornan flew fighters, too. And his character's father was a congressman, while he himself worked after this film in the U.S. Capitol from 1977-1983 & 1985-1997.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In the theater they absolutely go to town with the sexual connotations during the refueling sequence. In a host segment Crow and Servo re-enact the refueling scene in a rather disturbing fashion. Servo even gives a small "Whoa!" with an odd mixture of surprise and embarrassed pleasure. It gets a minor CallBack when Servo, looking at a picture of himself as the star atop a Christmas tree, remarks, "I bet that's a weird feeling."

* [[invoked]] HeyItsThatGuy: Robert Dornan.
-->'''Crow:''' Bob Dornan? The Congressman?
-->'''Servo:''' They couldn't get RushLimbaugh?

* IncrediblyLamePun: Mike's de-briefing. Still funny though.

** The United Servo Academy Mens' Chorus is apparently made up of the same Servo-clones introduced in ''TheHumanDuplicators''.

** Dr. Forrester is disappointed that... it's not all that bold.

* Just as Crow and Servo reenact the refueling scenes from the movie, tech support finally connects, but hangs up.

* Crow finally connects to the internet as Mike reads a letter from a group of people who put an effigy of Servo as their Christmas tree topper. The Mads are still neurally connected, but Frank thinks some nasty thoughts.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Rather inevitable with Crow boasting about his 90mhz Pentium PC, with 32 MB RAM, 4x CD-ROM, Soundblaster 16 sound card with a 28.8k baud modem.
