Line 2: {{quote\|''"Your film today is called ''Pod People''. [[Non-Indicative Name\|It has nothing to do with Pods.

They appear, they stand around looking at us, whimpering; then all of a sudden, at the least sign of any questioning or concern, they start killing us! I mean, excuse me - what do you want? Have you been helped?"''\|'''Paul Chaplin, [[~~MST3K~~Mystery Science Theater 3000]] writing staff'''}} Film watched: [[Pod People]] Naturally, this trainwreck provided perfect fodder for a thorough riffing by the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' crew. In particular, much fun was had at the expense of the fictional pop band's performance of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0Z_OWPe6fU "Burning Rubber Tires"], whose [[Mondegreen\|unintelligible lyrics]] prompted Joel and the bots to misinterpret the chorus, "Hear the engines roll now", as "idiot control now", among others. In addition, the lead singer's after-song gesture of making the OK sign, smiling, and saying, "It stinks" became a recurring in-joke on [[~~MST3K~~Mystery Science Theater 3000]].

Considering [[So Bad It's Good\|the quality level]] of most of the movies on this show, this should tell you something. * [[Catch Phrase]]: "I'm a Virgin" and "It stinks!" * [[Downer Ending]]: As Crow points out, Trumpy was raised by a child, and as such won't last too long in the woods. * [[Face Onon a Milk Carton]] {{quote\| '''Joel:''' [As Tommy] ''"Hey what gives? I'm on the milk carton".''}} * [[Meanwhile Back At The]]: "Meanwhile, in ''another'' movie..." * [[Mind Screw]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMspcxr1Vi8 The third host segment.] Judging by the Mads' reactions, it's even one in-universe. * [[Notable Original Music]] {{quote\| [http://www.mst3kinfo.com/ward_e/Song303a.html Idiot Control Now!]~~<br />~~ ''Clown in the Sky'' }} The former has even been [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUVRM8jV_Rg covered by Lemon Demon.] Line 31: Crow giving Trumpy a voice based on that of [[The Elephant Man]]. ** "With (x) on drums" * [[Shave and Aa Haircut]] * [[Shoot the Money]] {{quote\| '''Crow''': "We rented the van, we're ''gonna'' film it!"}} * [[That Was Not a Dream]] * [[Worst Aid]]: Lampshaded by Joel and the bots. {{quote\| '''Rick:''' "She isn't dead is she?"~~<br />~~ '''Other Camper:''' "Don't think so but she's in bad shape.
