!!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation has examples of:

-->'''Mike''': Hey by the way, do you wear your sunglasses at night so you can, so you can keep track of the visions in your dreams?

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Why do Natalie's parents hate Zack so much? In the original cut there's some dialogue indicating that Zack and Brad were both drug dealers, and that Natalie's parents broke off their relationship after they found out. While Zack eventually went straight, Brad didn't (he both does and sells cocaine in the extended Summerfest scene). Without this backstory it seems like they have an irrational grudge against Zack, who seems to be a NiceGuy hardly worthy of their scorn, even if he's "slightly lower middle" class.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: In the original cut Brad is shown to be not only a drug user but a dealer as well, selling cocaine to several people at Summerfest before the crash. There's also some dialogue indicating that Zack was also a dealer before getting busted, which explains why Natalie's parents dislike him so much at the start of the movie, and why he later reassures Natalie that he didn't know about the coke in Brad's car.

* OffTheShelfFX: TV's Frank's Soultaker ring is a green glow stick bracelet with the connector strategically hidden by the way he holds onto it.

** Frank as well, who went from being Dr. Forresters mook to a powerfull soultaker, strong enough to defeat the supposedly omnipotent Observer.

-->'''Mike''': Hey by the way, do you wear your sunglases at night so you can, so you can keep track of the visions in your dreams?

* CorruptTheCutie: Apparently, the Satellite being rigged and malfunctioning corrupted Gypsy's personality against her will, causing her to become very mean and aggressive until Joel [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome fixes her and the entire satellite off-screen]].

-->'''Mike:''' Hey, what's goin' on?\\

-->'''Mike''': Music/DavidByrne is right. [[Music/TalkingHeads Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens]]!"

** As Joe Estevez tries to convince Natalie to come with him, Crow asks, "Aren't you due on the set of ''[[{Film/Werewolf1996 Werewolf]]''?"

* ActorAllusion: The riffers recognize Joe Estevez from ''Film/{{Werewolf}}'', but it only gets referenced in a few jokes. "Yetiglanchi!"

** As Joe Estevez tries to convince Natalie to come with him, Crow asks, "Aren't you due on the set of ''[[{{Film/Werewolf}} Werewolf]]''?"

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Besides two hosts on-screen at the same time towards the end of the episode, there's the various malfunctions that the ship goes through, including Gypsy acting out-of-character and Mike running through part of the door hallway.

* BadassBeard: Joel has grown a snazzy little goatee since returning to Earth.

* DarkerAndEdgier: The Bots' "alternate ending."

* NotSoDifferent: TV's Frank and Bobo.

-->'''Pearl:''' ''(beaming)'' [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming I]] ''[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming knew]]'' [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming these two would get along]].[[note]]Of course, TV's Frank mocks Observer, {{Stage Whisper}}ing to Pearl, "Who's the Hostess Snow Ball?"[[/note]]

* TookALevelInBadass: Joel - once a humble janitor, now [[MundaneMadeAwesome manager of his own Hot Fish Shop! In]] '''[[MundaneMadeAwesome Osseo!]]'''
** Made funnier if one knew that the Hot Fish Shop (in Winona, not Osseo) closed the weekend the episode aired.
