1	* CrossesTheLineTwice: The scenes with the pets getting killed are often seen as pretty horrific, especially the dog Sparkle in the second story, but there are those who feel the riffs push the scenes into BlackComedy, or at least make them more bearable. One such example is when David finds the dog's body in the garage after the monkey sets off a fire in there:
2	---> '''Servo''': We're gonna change the dog's name to "Crispy".
3	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
4	** Any time Tom Servo imitates Merlin's line, "You're Welcome."
5	---> '''Mike''': Acknan ke-shogi que pasa!
6	** Crow: [[Music/WingsBand Guy with a toy monkey on the run, guy with a toy monkey on the run!]]
7	*** Mike frantically singing [[Music/{{Sting}} Fields of Gold]].
8	** This classic line:
9	--->'''Crow:''' ''[as Merlin]'' Remember to believe in magic, or I'll kill you.
10	** When Grandpa Borgnine's introductions segues into a robbery scene:
11	--->'''Crow:''' Merlin was a thieving crackhead who fenced [=VCRs=] to feed his habit.
12	** After the tree falls on David and he's perfectly fine in the next scene, save for some minor bruises:
13	--->'''Crow''': ''[as Billy]'' But Grandpa Borgnine, the tree fell right on him!
14	--->'''Mike''': ''[as Grandpa]'' I know, [[AssPull but I wrote myself into a corner]].
15	** During the scene when the ground begins to split as David tries to bury the monkey in the rain:
16	--->'''Servo''': [[SpecialEffectsFailure Meanwhile, on a dry model...]]
17	--->'''Mike''': WesternAnimation/BugsBunny musta taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque.
18	** Grandpa Borgnine telling his grandson about the mystical wonders.
19	--->'''Billy''': Mystical wonders? What are you talkin' about, Grandpa?
20	--->'''Grandpa''': I'm talking about[[DramaticPause ...]]
21	--->'''Crow''': {{Film/Shaft}}. John Shaft.
22	** Mike reading the complete collection of Ernest Borgnine's children's books. Horrifyingly, ''Dr. Blood's Orgy of Gore'' is [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids the most appropriate for children]].
23	** When Jonathan starts aging rapidly and sees {{Satan}} in his mirror.
24	--->'''Mike:''' I don't like the way they're portraying the Devil here. It's so biased.
25	--->'''Crow:''' That bastard! He turned me into Creator/BenjaminFranklin!
26	** When Jonathan causes the bed to fall through the floor, Mike, with a British accent, acknowledges it as "the {{WesternAnimation/Wallace\|And Gromit}} method for going down to breakfast."
27	** When David looks like he's about to be swallowed up by the crack in the ground:
28	--->'''David''': [[SkywardScream GOD HELP ME!]]
29	--->'''Tom Servo''': ''[as God]'' Sorry, [[UsefulNotes/AmericanChurches Unitarian]], according to you I'm [[PiecesOfGod in the butterflies and the sun]] and I'm just a [[AllPowerfulBystander vague benevolent force]]. You're on your own.
30	** Any and all of the riffs that turn Jonathan Cooper's reviews into weapons.
31	--->'''Servo:''' Look, my reviews have destroyed whole cities!
32	--->'''Mike:''' Come out or I'll review you!
33	** After Jonathan turns into a baby and a smiling Madeleine carries off her new baby/husband:
34	--->'''Servo''': Based on a story by Sigmund Freud.
35	* GeniusBonus: Mike and the bots are surprisingly well versed in actual Merlin folklore, like referencing Merlin's relationship with [[MerlinAndNimue Nimue]], or pointing out that he was originally Celtic.
36	* HilariousInHindsight:
37	** Late in the film, Mike makes a joke about the father rushing to get ''Film/BarbWire'' at the video store. This is already a ShoutOut to that film causing the studio to dump the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' movie. What brings it firmly into '''this''' trope? The first time this episode aired, Sci-Fi ran heavy advertising for '''their''' broadcast of ''Film/BarbWire'' during this episode.
