History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S12E02AtlanticRim

[[caption-width-right:350: "''Atlantic Rim?'' Could you be more [[Film/PacificRim Pacific]]?"]]

!!This experiment contains examples of:

* ChristmasEpisode: Apparently? [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment for some reason]][[invoked]] they're singing ''Patrick Swayze Christmas'' in the Invention Exchange.

* ContinuityNod: Jonah and the Bots shows off the Air-Dancer Organ with a rousing performance of "A Patrick Swayze Christmas".

* ToughActToFollow: InUniverse example. Kinga forces the crew to do another big musical number after last season's "Every Country has a Monster" was so popular, despite being told it just happened to catch on like that and you can't just manufacture another one. Put on the spot, they end up improvising completely random nonsense lyrics to the music; while they're getting into it by the end of the number, Kinga and Max are wholly unimpressed.

** Right before the first movie sign they're singing [[recap/Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E21SantaClausConquersTheMartians a Patrick Swayze Christmas.]]

* NotableOriginalMusic: When Kinga forces the SOL crew to record another hit song like [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S11E01Reptilicus last season's]] "[[BreakoutHit Every Country Has a Monster]]", Jonah and the bots make something up on the spot ("Get In Your Mech"). They wind up with [[WordSaladLyrics complete nonsense lyrics]] in the vein of [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E03PodPeople "Idiot Control Now"]].
-->'''Jonah:''' [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Podracing]] machine\\
[[CanadaEh Poutine-ing the fries]]\\
'''Gypsy:''' And sleepy {{Creator/Graham Greene|Actor}} can [[TakeThat barely keep his eyes open]]!\\
'''Servo:''' Get in your mech\\
'''Crow:''' [[Music/WuTangClan Protect ya neck]]\\
'''Jonah:''' Like Creator/GregoryPeck\\
Would do if he were alive\\
'''Gypsy:''' Don't work on spec\\
'''Crow and Servo:''' A post-dated check\\
'''All:''' Just [[KneelBeforeZod genuflect]] and get in your mech and drive

* WordSaladLyrics: "[[NotableOriginalMusic Get In Your Mech]]" in its entirety:

* DesignatedHero: Discussed InUniverse. Red's and Tracy's [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first scene]] involves them getting drunk at a Mardi Gras parade and beating up stoners in an alley. Jonah and the bots point out that ''Red started the confrontation'' and [[NeverLiveItDown never let him live it down]]. They spend the rest of the experiment mocking Red's boorish behavior and wondering why the movie expects us to root for him.

'''Gypsy:''' And sleepy Creator/GrahamGreene can [[TakeThat barely keep his eyes open]]!\\

* TheMockbuster: Not only the film currently being riffed, but {{Discussed}} as they talk about the following film, ''Lords Of The Deep''. Kinga claims it's a ripoff of ''Film/TheAbyss'', but Max clarified that it's actually a ripoff of ''Film/DeepStarSix'', which was a ripoff of ''Film/Leviathan1989'', which was the ''official'' ripoff of ''The Abyss''.[[note]]Not really true, ''Leviathan'' and ''[=DeepStar=] Six'' came out the same year as ''The Abyss'', and both were more ''Film/{{Alien}}'' [[RecycledInSpace underwater]], with ''Leviathan'' also "borrowing" from ''Film/TheThing1982''.[[/note]]

'''Max:''' Yeah, [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E03PodPeople it stinks]]! And not ''[OK sign]'' in the [[CallBack joke way]], it just really stinks!

'''Max:''' Yeah, [[CallBack it stinks]]! And not in the joke way, it just really stinks!

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Someone breaks into Gizmonic Institute and leaves a huge mess as they leave. [[spoiler:It's the long-absent Dr. Erhardt stealing Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank's ashes. The WordSaladLyrics of "Get In Your Mech" (which "[[CallBack stinks]]" ''[flashes OK sign]'') further foreshadow Dr. F.'s last request that his ashes be scattered in space to the lilting strains of "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E03PodPeople Idiot Control Now]]".]] This gets paid off two episodes latter in "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S12E04TheDayTimeEnded The Day Time Ended]]".

Would do if he were alive!\\

'''All:''' Just [[KneelBeforeZod genuflect]] and get in your mech and drive!

* CallBack: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E10TheGiantSpiderInvasion "Go Packers!" "WOOO PACKERS!"]]

They wind up with [[WordSaladLyrics complete nonsense lyrics]] in the vein of [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E03PodPeople "Idiot Control Now"]].

'''Max:''' Yeah, it stinks! And not in the joke way, it just really stinks!

'''Crow:''' I'm into podcasts...

** (The monster explodes in space.) "[[WesternAnimation/BeastWars BEAST WARS!]]"

** With a side of CelebrityParadox: "Joel Hodgson?"

* ShoutOut: One to a [=MST3K=] SpiritualSuccessor ''Podcast/RiffTrax'' RunningGag, when they have Admiral Hadley say "Line?".

* ScatterbrainedSenior: Many jokes are made about the Admiral being one, especially his love of “the horn.”

* RunningGag: "Ba-boom" is occasionally referenced over the rest of the season.

He pulls up sharply, comes around for a second run. Spitfire balls up, dude, he comes in close. Drops it. nails it. BA-BOOM! The thing is gone!]]''
