{{quote|''"You have to wonder why this race of aliens ever came to Earth. 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, [[MST3KMystery 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 [[MST3KMystery Science Theater 3000]]. ([[It Makes Sense in Context|The OK sign makes more sense in Spain, where the film was made, because the gesture is similar to "the finger" there.]])
