Line 28:
* [[Real Life Relative]]: Trace Beaulieu's father played the elderly Dr. Forrester.
* [[Running Gag]]:
** Based on the fat sherrif's resemblance to both Charlie Daniels and [[Hank Williams Jr.]], Mike and 'bots respond with a flurry of "Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?"s, and repeatedly singing bits of "The South's Gonna Do It".
***
** References to Leonard Maltin's 2½-star review of the movie, culminating in the 'bots spending the credits comparing the score to other movies in one of Maltin's books, coming to the conclusion that Maltin apparently considers ''Laserblast'' to be a better movie than ''[[Hannah and Her Sisters]]'', ''[[Taxi Driver]]'' and ''[[Being There]]'' and as good as ''[[Unforgiven]]'' and ''[[Sophie's Choice]]''.
** Jokes at Eddie Deezen's expense, culminating in Mike and the 'bots urging for Billy to kill Deezen's character only to regret it when he finally does.
** [[This Loser Is You|Jokes about Billy's unimpressive Seventies lifestyle and how familiar it must be for Mike]].
▲** Servo does a riff based on the Charlie Daniels Band's "The South's Gonna Do It Again," and Mike tries to ask Servo just ''what'' the South is going to do again.
** Using Jim Carrey's catchphrases from ''[[The Mask (film)|The Mask]]'' when Billy turns green-faced and evil.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Mike dressing as [[Star Trek: Voyager|Capt. Janeway]]. Although s/he saves the S.O.L., s/he indulges herself with some "Proud Mary" afterward, Tina Turner-style.
