== [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]] ==
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Mike is unimpressed with Servo's new foam-latex "trucker" body:
{{quote| '''Mike:''' You have no butt!<br />
'''Servo:''' You're just jealous, Nelson! You ''wish'' you had my butt! '''I''' like my butt!! }}
** The New England Journalist jokes.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Servo's ode to the 70's (that is, 70-79 A.D.), as well as "Do You Remember the 50's?" (same mistake).
{{quote| ''Back in the super-bad seventies''<br />
''the party did never stop!''<br />
''The city of Pompeii was doin' fine''<br />
''until Vesuvius blew its top!'' }}
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: The series of truck-based [[Double Entendre]] gags. Most famously, ''Transformers'' fan "Dinobot" (after the ''[[Beast Wars]]'' character) had one of these gags quoted in his signature ''immediately'' after his Usenet [[Tagline]]:
{{quote| ''Dinobot has spoken. My rigid grill structure is bearing down on your unprotected cargo door. -- Tom Servo Riding With Death''}}
** Dinobot's voice actor, [[Scott McNeil]], was actually convinced to say the "rigid grill structure" line in-character at a convention.
** Incidentally, this episode seems to be the major contributor to the [[MS TingMSTing]] meme/[[Running Gag]] of Crow making lewd jokes and getting a [[First Name Ultimatum]] chastised by Joel or Mike. Which is also an example of [[Character Exaggeration]].
* [[Mondegreen]]: In the climax of the second "half", Jim Stafford says something that the ''MST'' crew hears as "New England journalists", which prompts a lively debate over the merits of journalists from all over our fine country.
* [[Reverse Funny Aneurysm]]: Mike's riff of "We'd like you to consider Scientology!" when thugs attack Casey in the second part of the "movie" takes on new meaning in these times of ''[[South Park]]'' and Anonymous.
