* HilariousInHindsight: Crow's spaceship is a model of the Satellite of Love - the ''actual'' model used for exterior shots. He dismisses it as cheap and plans to put lighter fluid on it and burning it to a crisp - which is what happens to the model a few years later in an [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S07E05Escape2000 episode]].

* LaughingAtYourOwnJokes: TV's Frank and Dr. Forrester can't help guffawing at the concept of a refrigerator alarm that only sounds when William Conrad is stealing the food. Most of the segment they can't even explain the invention because they can't stop laughing in advance.
