If there's a hokey educational film out there, you can bet money that "Mystery Science Theater 3000" has heckled it. Such is the case with "The Home Economics Story". The point of this happy-go-lucky short is basically that girls in fluffy dresses should take home econ so that they can either get good jobs or become June Cleaver clones. Pretty eye-rolling in an era when millions of grads are doomed to spend their lives paying back student loans (assuming that they can find jobs). Sure enough, the guys have a lot of fun tearing the short to shreds, even mentioning Abbey Road in one scene. Basically, it was a very cruel act to force the Satellite of Love crew to watch this, but they had fun with it.
I wonder if anyone ever heckled these shorts when they first got shown back in the '50s.
