This episode is notable for being Mike Nelson's first turn as host.
Line 8:
=== The ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' treatment provides examples of: ===
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: Kurt gets an arm yanked off (his good arm, no less), and the "arm" jokes fly thick and furious.
{{quote| '''Mike:''' And ironically, he collapses into an armchair.}}
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: During the opening scene in the operating room.
{{quote| '''Mike:''' Just a normal Tuesday for Cher.}}
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: While describing his "dream-buster" during the invention exchange, Dr. Forrester begins to describe its technological properties before stopping himself saying, "Well, it would take a scientist to explain. Just watch."
* [[I Have My Ways]]: They have a field day with this one.
{{quote| '''Dr. Cortner:''' I've got to find (Jan) a body.<br />
'''Kurt:''' How are you going to go about getting one? (Cortner turns and walks off, Kurt seizes his arm) Bill, how will you do it!?<br />
'''Cortner:''' There are ways.<br />
'''Servo:''' (''[[Evil Laugh]]'', with side of [[Large Ham]])<br />
'''Cortner:''' (after shaking off Kurt's hand) There are ways.<br />
'''Mike:''' Lots of... ways, many... ways... Did I mention there are ways?<br />
(As Cortner is leaving the lab, he turns around and looks back briefly)<br />
'''Crow:''' ''Ways.'' }}
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Newcomer Mike is variously addressed as "Mr. Nielsen" (by Gypsy), "Mark" (Crow), "Mitch" (Dr. Forrester), and "Marv" (Forrester again).
Line 27:
* [[Rearrange the Song]]: "''Get...me...dooowwwn!''"
* [[Running Gag]]: When Dr. Cortner's suddenly in a close-up shot filmed against a blank background that doesn't match the previous scene -- ''"Help me, I'm in another dimension!"''
{{quote| "Ooo, there's cocktails in this dimension..."}}
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Tom and Crow apparently put Mike through a crash movie-riffing course in the period between ''[[Mitchell]]'' and the start of this episode, involving watching ''[[The Beast of Yucca Flats]]'' and ''[[Night of the Lepus]]''.
