1* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
2** Nick heroically jumping into Robertson's plane --complete with one-liner-- and ''instantly'' whizzing it:
3--->'''Nick:''' ''You're grounded!'' [Gets punched in the face.]\
4'''Crow:''' ...And it's all over!\
5'''Tom:''' "...But I chased you on a horse! I'm supposed to ''wi-hiiiinn!''"
6** The bad guys pulling over and picking up bikes to continue chasing Nick[[note]]It makes more sense in the uncut film as using a truck for a chase scene in the forest wouldn't have worked[[/note]]:
7--->'''Tom:''' "Aha, so it's bicycles then, is it? We accept your choice of vehicle! Enguarde!"
8** The guy who comes out running after Nick when his car is stolen:
9---> '''Tom:''' "Wait, the clutch kinda sticks, and one door doesn't close, and you have to jiggle it to get it into reverse!"
10** This:
11--->'''Future Hobo:''' "Everybody wants to change history..."\
12'''Mike:''' (''as Future Hobo'') "Me? [[HumbleGoal I just like to find a little beefaroni at the bottom of a can.]]"\
13'''Crow:''' (''as Future Hobo'') "Can you change the fact that I have [[{{Squick}} crunchy pants]]?"
14** Crow's impression of [[Series/LostInSpace Dr. Smith's]] many verbose insults, which falls apart through the sketch as he flubs lines and repeats himself before finally culminating with a simple "You suck!" and breaking down.
15* GeniusBonus:
16** Servo acting like a little kid and getting excited when told he can watch ''Film/MondoCane'' is... TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior.
17** The ray gun / Reagan pun references an actual derisive nickname for UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan while he was in office: "Ronnie Raygun".
18* HarsherInHindsight:
19** Mike and the Bots mock the "future" world of 2041, as the only things that seem different from the present day (1991) is that the children are fatter and they all have cell phones. IWantMyJetpack, indeed.
20** Crow jokes about searching for Creator/CameronDiaz nude pictures on the internet. This was a few years before a sleazy person attempted to get her to pay him millions for pictures and video from an S&M photo shoot she did before she became famous. The footage was eventually leaked onto the Internet.
21* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: After Mike's first riff when he's back in the theater for the final quarter of the movie, Crow almost whispers a very quiet, "Glad to have you back, Mike."
22* HilariousInHindsight:
23** The film's showing on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' actually did cause Castleton State College T-shirts to become popular with the fandom. The Nick Miller haircut still seems less popular, though.
24** The director later revealed the joke that Robertson's henchmen are just "the director's friends who brought their own suits." was actually bang on the money.
25** One of Crow's quips talks about Washington's airplane landing. It's a little more laughable after the flub President Trump made about airports being around in the Revolutionary War.
26** Crow's quip, "This is Pizza Hut, sir" (said while Nick is on the phone enthusing about his fuel-efficient engine) is funnier after the "Sir, this is a Wendy's" meme of the early 2020's.
27* IWantMyJetpack: 2041 underwhelms Mike and the 'Bots.
28-->'''Servo:''' So, fifty years from now it'll be... ''three'' years from now.
29-->'''Mike:''' (''flatly'') The, uh...future.
30* FridgeHorror: In the alternate Eddie timeline, Joel leaves his robot children with an outwardly abusive asshole instead of a nice EveryMan (although Joel initially left them with no human companion; it was the Mads who used Mike as their ReplacementGoldfish after Joel escaped). And presumably hasn't tried to rescue them from Eddie yet...
31* TheWoobie: Brain Guy interrupts the ''Time Chasers'' credits and has fun with the gag at first, but quickly loses confidence in the material and beats himself up. Even Mike and the bots feel bad for him.
