!!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation contains examples of the following tropes:

[[caption-width-right:427:Well, that's the Hee Haw font; how can it be deadly?]]

* RailingKill: How [[spoiler: Manfred]] meets his end.

* SimilaryNamedWorks: Invoked with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birds_(band) The Birds]], a obscure UK band best known for having Ron Wood (later of Music/{{Faces}} and Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}) in its lineup. Mike notes it's not the US band Music/TheByrds, while Crow sings "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J74ttSR8lEg Eight miles WRONG!]]" (Amusingly, when The Byrds had a UK tour, The Birds' manager tried to sue them for having a similar name. He was soon fired by The Birds.)

* NamesTheSame: Invoked with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birds_(band) The Birds]], a obscure UK band best known for having Ron Wood (later of Music/{{Faces}} and Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}) in its lineup.

** The rather craptastic nature of Vicki's "holiday" is constantly invoked, between the Hargroves' lifeless, depressing farm and the attack by killer bees.

-->'''Bobo:''' Please stay... I... love you. ''(clings to Observer and sobs)''\\
'''Observer:''' ''(to other Observers)'' He's... like... a pet.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: After his victory, Bill!Observer turn Mike!Observer and Paul!Observer into slackers who work at a Wisconsin dairy.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: Observer is amazed at the genius of chili dogs, the concept of which is beyond his omniscience. Later, Bobo manages to distract the other Observers by tempting ''them'' with another plate of chili-smothered dogs.

* ParanoiaFuel: Mocked[[invoked]] by Servo, while Vicki's snooping through Hargrove's belongings. "Great. Now, I'm nervous about pop stars going through my study."

-->'''Observer:''' ''(puzzled at first, then...)'' [[HandWave AHA! No one wants a tie for a present! Can't you see what a terrible gift that is?]]

** Crow [[LikesOlderWomen falls in love with Mrs. Hargrove]] ("Wha-- you mean the [[MustHaveNicotine cigarette hag]]?" "''Don't call her that!''") and writes her a {{sonnet}}, a la his sudden crush on Estelle Winwood in ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E11TheMagicSword The Magic Sword]]''.

* Brain Guy and Bobo are stuffing their faces with chili dogs and watching ''Jerry Springer''. As Bobo goes to get more food, Brain Guy gets a sudden visit from his fellow Observers. They are ashamed to see one of their own become such a lazy slob and insist on taking him back to their restored planet before blowing Earth up. Pearl does not take this news very well.

* Inspired by the movie's bee farm, Crow and Servo decide to raise lice and wood ticks. In Castle Forrester, Brain Guy is preparing to return to the Observer planet and sings his farewells while Pearl and Bobo insistently sing for him to stay. It takes some convincing, but Brain Guy's loyalty to the Mads wins out.

* Wearing a ridiculous bee costume, Mike announces his idea to communicate through body movement like bees do. Servo asks him interesting and complex questions. Crow just wants to know where his ''Just For Men'' hair coloring went.
