History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E11DevilFish

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Mike keeps sexily referring to Peter's Evinrude, a manufacturer of outboard motors, then sighing it didn't quite work. The humor comes from the name of ''another'' manufacturer of outboard motors, Johnson, which Mike was probably trying to remember.

* TheRedStapler: Parodied -- supposedly the film was so widely seen that its dopey electrician character created a negative stereotype of electricians. Rick the electrician, sent up to repair the SOL during Segment Three, mentions that guys like him have been getting a hard time from people ever since ''Devil Fish'' came out. Mike proves their point by insulting him -- until Rick reveals that the electricians have [[BrickJoke formed an alliance]] with the dolphins for protection, forcing Mike to apologize as the ship comes under attack by the dolphins yet again.

* CensorBox: The [=MST3K=] logo was used to cover up a surprise guest appearance by Peter's balls. ''"Dah! Incoming!"''
-->'''Servo:''' ''(as Peter, giggling)'' I hung one out for fun!

* ForegoneConclusion: Servo says "If I don't come back, adopt a single currency, eat snails, and don't shave your armpits" when Peter goes into the water for the last time. [[spoiler:Peter survives unscathed, but evidently Europe decides his suggestions are worth implementing anyway.]]

%%* TheRedStapler: The electrician that comes to the SOL mentions that guys like him have been getting a hard time from people ever since this movie came out, forcing them to make an alliance with the dolphins for protection.
* RefugeInAudacity: Pearl turns up the "Italian Stereotype" vision mode on Mike and the Bots until they become full-on pizza spinning, loafer wearing, gondola riding ethnic slurs.

* RunningGag: References to beer and the Italian actors faking American accents. [[note]]Ironically, Peter, who gets the brunt of the "fake American accent" jokes, is portrayed by an actual American actor, but was still dubbed by a stock American voice for Italian films.[[/note]]
-->'''Servo''' (as Peter): "Of course I am American and not European. I drive a truck!"

-->'''Mike''': The Coast Guard was in this, I wonder if they'd be in my brother's wedding video?

* HollywoodPudgy: After Janet is killed and Peter and Stella find her lying dead on the deck, Mike comments, "She's fat!" However while certainly not as skinny as the "heroin chic" Stella, Janet is still a slender and very attractive (arguably moreso than Stella) woman.

* HayseedName: As he looks at the burning swampland at the climax of the film, Crow remarks "a lot of guys named 'Bo' died that day.

-->'''Mike:''' ''(Mario voice)'' Pearl! You-a make-a broad stereotype!

* ShoutOut: The opening segment has Mike going on about his identity being wiped by a GovernmentConspiracy, referencing the 1998 TV series adaptation of ''Film/TheNet''.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Mike keeps sexily referring to Peter's Evinrude, a manufacturer of outboard motors, then sighing it didn't quite work. The humor comes from the name of ''another'' manufacturer of outboard motors, Johnson, which Mike was probably trying to remember.

* RunningGag: References to beer and the Italian actors faking American accents.

* BigStore: After accidentally getting their phone number into a cruise line ad and Bobo taking 2500 reservations, Pearl converts the castle into a very fake-looking ocean liner to scam their early-arrival guests. (She also mentions that she sailed the castle out of port before the rest of the passengers could board, [[InsaneTrollLogic to which Mike and the 'Bots respond with nervous, uncomprehending laughter]].)

* DeviousDolphins: At one point, Mike and the bots decide they dislike dolphins. They call Sea World in order to mock Blowie the Dolphin over the phone. [[NotSoHarmlessVillain And then a dolphin warship appears outside and fires at the Satellite of Love]], and doesn't leave until Mike apologizes to Blowie.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Bill Corbett as Brain Guy as Isaac from ''TheLoveBoat'' in the last segment.

** The final segment sees Brain Guy acting like Isaac from ''TheLoveBoat''.

* GeniusBonus: Mike has a fairly elaborate RunningGag involving outboard motors. Whenever one appears he makes suggestive-sounding comments about them ("Hey, nice Evinrude." "I hate when I get my Evinrude tangled up." etc). Evinrude is, of course, a brand of outboard motor. So is ''Johnson,'' which is clearly what Mike [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar means to say]] whenever he says Evinrude.
