History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E07TerrorFromTheYear5000

* Having bought a new coat, Servo is now obsessed with giving comfort ratings to everything he sees.

* The Observers have grown tired of catering to Pearl's every demand and announce their true intention to have her and Bobo dissected and placed on display in a museum. They psychically force the Mads to fight to the death and attempt to do the same to the crew, but Mike and the 'Bots are unaffected by their powers.

* For superior beings without bodies, the Observers eat a LOT of Food Pills. They send some bowls of them up to the crew for them to try, and Mike spices up the bland meal with some gourmet cuisine.

* The Nanites have constructed a time machine. Mike has Crow use it to meet with his family in Wisconsin and tell them that he's alright. Crow ends up spending 11 years with the Nelsons and strikes up a very close relationship with Mike's girlfriend Ginger, but forgets to tell all of them about Mike.

* The crew gets into yodeling, which agonizes the Observers. They counter their yodeling with a soulful serenade full of brain puns.

* As payback for Crow stealing Ginger, Mike uses the time machine to set Crow up on a blind date with the '''TERROR'''. She's actually quite sweet once one gets past her incoherent screaming. Pearl has finally defeated Bobo and is expected to put him to death, but she refuses and gives a passionate speech about the sanctity of life... until Bobo recovers and the fight is on again.

* HellIsThatNoise: The SOL's yodeling ("Like Music/JimmieRodgers!") is this to the Observers. "Yodelayheeyodelayheeyodelayhee--" "Yodlodlldloyodllodlodlyo--" "[=YolooOOOOooOyyolooOOOOooo=]--" "YO-DE-LAY-DEE-YO-DE-LAY-DEE--"

'''Third Observer (Bill):''' Can't you see you're killing Observer?\\
'''Second Observer (Paul):''' ''(clutching his temple)'' ...devils! ...devils!

->''[[TheStinger (Observers, yet again, stare into the camera)]]''

* ShoutOut: The SOL's yodeling and [[HellIsThatNoise the pain it causes the Observers]] are a reference to the Martians' WeakSauceWeakness (Music/SlimWhitman's "Indian Love Call") in ''Film/MarsAttacks'', which came out the previous year.

!!The [=MST3K=] presentation contains these tropes:

--->'''Bobo:''' [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S07E04TheIncredibleMeltingMan HOTCHGKA!]] You forgot -- ''I'm not human''!\\

** After the NotableOriginalMusic, Mike gets a taste of his own medicine when the 'bots start singing the riff from "that one Music/{{Asia}} song" ("Only Time Will Tell").

* NotableOriginalMusic: The Observers' "When I Held Your Brain In My Arms", {{In The Style Of}} Music/TheInkSpots.
-->'''Observers:''' Now I'm sorry,\\
That I dropped you,\\
That I accidentally plopped you\\
When I held your brain in my arms\\
(It caused a contusion...)\\
When I held your brain in my arms\\
(During ''Series/SuddenlySusan'')\\
When I held your brain in my arms

** After the NotableOriginalMusic, Mike gets a taste of his own medicine when the 'bots start singing the riff from "that one Music/{{Asia}} song" (except it's actually "The Final Countdown" by Music/{{Europe}}).

* NonSingingVoice: While Mike Nelson is a capable singer (see the show's theme song), he lip syncs to Kevin Murphy singing "When I Held Your Brain In My Arms".

-->'''First Observer:''' I remember we would stroll along your [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_sulcus fissure of Rolando]]\\

-->'''Observer (Michael T. Nelson):''' What are you doing? Stop it this instant!\\
'''Observer (Bill Corbett):''' Can't you see you're killing Observer?\\
'''Observer (Paul Chaplin):''' ''(clutching his temple)'' ...devils! ...devils!

** NonSingingVoice: The Observer played by Mike Nelson lip-syncs Kevin Murphy's voice for most of the song.
** SameLanguageDub: Bill Corbett lip-syncs to... his own voice.
* RunningGag: Servo keeps impersonating the narrator's booming declarations of the '''TERROR FROM THE YEAR 5000''' to apologize and make excuses for the '''TERROR''''s failure to show up [[DevelopingDoomedCharacters until about an hour into the movie]].
