History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E05TheDeadlyBees

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Pearl and Bobo convince Brain Guy to "Stay" [[NotableOriginalMusic via song]] (though their brains are not in pans), rather than rejoining his Observer brethren in annihilating the planet.

* HumanityOnTrial: Parodied, [[NotableOriginalMusic through song]]. Among the "several million reasons" Observer shouldn't blow up the Earth, according to Pearl and Bobo: meat, string, tortillas stuffed with ham, Pearl promising to fold Observer's sheets. That's it. It ''works''.

* NotableOriginalMusic: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ODk7YOt7j0&t=7m15s Please Stay...]]"
-->'''Observer:''' Can you give me any reason\\
Why I shouldn't up and leave you\\
And ''blast'' your silly planet when I go?\\
'''Pearl:''' ...There are several million reasons\\
'''Bobo:''' Though there's none that I can think of\\
'''Pearl:''' ''([[DopeSlap smacks Bobo upside the head]])'' There are SEVERAL million reasons, here we go
* PainfulRhyme: In the same song:

* CallBack: Brain Guy sends his fellow Observers to work at the Burnett County Dairy Co-Op, which is where we saw Past Mike temping in ''Film/TimeChasers''.

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

* GeniusBonus: Invoked. As Doris is being chased by the bees:
--> '''Mike:''' [[https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/42891/stopping-by-woods-on-a-snowy-evening Whose woods these are?]]\\
'''Crow:''' [[Creator/RobertFrost Oh, I think I know.]]\\
'''Mike:''' [[LampshadeHanging Huh?]]
--> '''Crow:''' ''(later)'' Damn, it's that [[https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43281/the-lake-isle-of-innisfree bee-loud glade]] that [[Creator/WilliamButlerYeats Yeats]] spoke of.

* MistakenIdentity: Intentional - several early riffs involve ''Series/TheJeffersons'' (and one for ''Film/{{Mandingo}}''), owing to Frank Finlay's strong resemblance to Paul Benedict (who played Mr. Bentley).
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Observer is amazed at the genius of chili dogs, the concept of which is beyond his omniscience.

'''Pearl:''' ''(stamps on Bobo's foot)'' There are SEVERAL million reasons, here we go

**
-->'''Mike:''' ''(on rooftop)'' [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou DON'T MAKE ME SHOOT YOU!]] [[SayMyName CROW!]]

'''Pearl: If you'll stay, I'll fold your sheets. \\

* NamesTheSame: Invoked with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birds_(band) The Birds]], a UK band best known for its cover of "Tambourine Man". Mike notes it's not the US band Music/TheByrds, while Crow sings "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J74ttSR8lEg Eight miles WRONG!]]"

** 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]]''.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Invoked: the bowler-hatted guy (Harcourt) from the end of movie[[note]]And the very beginning, which they'd completely forgotten by then, [[DontExplainTheJoke which is the joke]][[/note]] wanders through the SOL bridge and Castle Forrester's great hall, confusing the hell out of everyone involved.

--> '''Mike:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, thank you, movie.]]

* CommutingOnABus: A rare late-season "[[TheVoice appearance]]" by Magic Voice during the fake PreviouslyOn segment. "And now, tonight's episode."
* ContinuityNod: The other Observers return to bring Brain Guy back into the fold. Mike destroying their planet is also referenced.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Bill!Observer turn Mike!Observer and Paul!Observer into slackers who work at a local dairy.

-->'''Servo:''' Y'know, if she ''really'' wanted to be safe from the bees, she should just strip down and turn on the shower. I'm not saying this out of any prurient interest - it's just good advice.

* FelonyMisdemeanor: After being challenged to punish Mike, Observer summons... a necktie. Mike likes the pattern.

--> '''Mike:''' [[Creator/RobertFrost Whose woods these are?]]\\

--> '''Crow:''' ''(later)'' Damn, it's that bee-loud glade that [[Creator/WilliamButlerYeats Yeats]] spoke of.

I really can't be going!\\
I must stay.

-->'''Mike:''' ''(as Harcourt[[note]]one of the officials from the prologue[[/note]], as the credits start to roll)'' Hello, I'm here for the movie -- am I late? Hello?

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

-->'''Mike:''' ''(wind whipping his trenchcoat back, holding a gun on an offscreen Crow)'' [[YouWouldntShootMe Don't make me shoot you...]] [[SayMyName CROOOOOWWWWW!!!!]]

* RunningGag: The rather craptastic nature of Vicki's "holiday" is constantly invoked, between the Hargroves' lifeless, depressing farm and the attack by killer bees.
-->'''Crow''' (as Vicki): So, so ''what'' am I paying for, again?

** Mary Hargrove's cigarette addiction.

* StylisticSuck: The song. Pearl and Bobo are constantly off-tempo, shoehorn in various [[PainfulRhyme awkward rhymes]], and come up with the lamest possible reasons not to destroy the Earth. Brain Guy is convinced anyway, probably because he doesn't really want to go in the first place.

* PreviouslyOn: The first pre-movie segment thoroughly parodies this trope, through multiple genres and stock {{Cliffhanger}} scenarios. "Previously on the Satellite of Love..."
