Servo: (looking at an old farming device) What is that thing?
Crow: Whatever it was, it wasn't invented, yet.

  • Deep-Fried Whatever: The 'bots deep-fry the fan mail.
  • The Fun in Funeral: During one of the host segments, Joel and the bots get to experience death... or what it feels like to be in a casket. After a moment contemplating what death would be like, they start describing how they want their funerals to be like - Crow's and Tom's are really fun.
  • Offscreen Teleportation: Tom Servo explains that the examples of this trope in the film are examples of applied "quantum superposition". He thoroughly demonstrates it for Joel and Crow.

  • Running Gag: Fridge Logic from a Special Effect Failure (the door to Cane's room at the saloon opens the wrong way) leads to the conclusion that Cane's staying in the hallway. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Scream Discretion Shot
