-->'''Narrator:''' ''There is one terrifying word in the world of nuclear physics:''
-->'''Tom Servo:''' ''"Oops!"''
-->'''Narrator:''' ''Radiation.''
-->'''Tom Servo:''' (''disappointed'') ''"Oh."''
** Also, at the end:
--->'''Narrator''': ''The difference between science fiction and science fact''.
--->'''Crow''': ''And science '''crap'''!''
** Even the Mads' introduction was a CMOF:
--->'''Dr. Forrester:''' I'm going to spit on you now just a little spittle called ''Monster A-Go-Go''!
--->'''[=TVs=] Frank:''' ''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Monster A-Go-Go]]'', Joel.
--->'''Dr. Forrester:''' And [[ForTheEvulz because I'm gloating]], I'm going to [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment stick you with a short]] as well! It's a [[BigStupidDoodooHead flaming little sack of dog poopy]] called...
--->'''[=TVs=] Frank:''' "[[CircusOfFear Circus]]".
--->'''Dr. Forrester:''' ''[Chuckles]''
--->'''[=TVs=] Frank:''' "''On Ice''".
--->'''Dr. Forrester:''' ''[EvilLaugh]''
*** The way Frank repeats the name of the film recalls the "Rock Climbing" taunt from ''Film/LostContinent''.
** Discovering the capsule.
--->'''Narrator:''' This ''was'' the capsule Douglas had rode in.
--->'''Tom Servo:''' ''(barely able to contain his laughter)'' Douglas was pear-shaped, very short, and ''stood the whole way''!
** Tom and Crow's shared [[{{Wangst}} wangsty]] monologue during their HeroicBSOD at the end
--> '''Tom''': Joel, it's this movie; it was really depressing! It was like... it was like being a little kid and eating dinner at your Aunt Ruth's apartment in the suburbs, and it's hot in there, and she's got a local Christian radio station on, and there's nothing to do or look at 'cuz all she's got in the apartment are ''Good Housekeeping'' magazines and linen doilies! *sobs*
--> '''Crow''': Yeah, and then they send you out to play with the strange neighbor kids and they're all big and their skin is pink and they have big pores and the big eighth grader makes you look at really upsetting pictures and so you go back inside and sit down and they're all just talking and there are big pauses in the conversation and you can hear the clock ticking on the wall... *breaks down into tears*
--> '''Tom''': Yeah, yeah, so you dig into your seat cushion and you find a really old peanut, and you're so bored you eat it! And then you just feel bad and a little sick, and - and then you think you're about to go, but then - then Aunt Ruth takes out a photo album filled with black-and-white photos of kids with squinty eyes, and they're supposed to be your uncle and aunts or something, and then your parents force you to look at them! *sobs some more*
** The movie's attempt to pass off some guy's tongue trilling as an actual ringing phone sound effect. Made even funnier by the reactions in the theater: Servo guffawing and Joel just muttering [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "unbelievable"]].
** To give you an idea of how ''boring'' this film is, Joel and the 'Bots actually fall asleep at one point! A [[ScareChord loud phone ringing]] wakes them up though.

* BeamMeUpScotty: Most [=MSTies=] use the quote "There was no monster" when referencing this film. But actually, the narrator never says that! His actual phrasing is, "Suddenly there was no trail. There was no giant, no monster, no thing called Douglas to be followed. There was nothing in the tunnel but the puzzled men of courage who suddenly found themselves alone with shadows and darkness!" Writer Paul Chaplin even notes this in the episode guide book.

This gets brought up in an earlier scene when he's talking to Dr. Kramer and keeps looking over his shoulder and appears to have his eyes on the floor.
