The Mr. B. Natural short was rife for comedic material, easily overshadowing the main feature of the episode.


  • Mr. B, shame on you! HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY?!
  • "You know, I think Oscar Wilde only wished he was this gay."
    • "See Buzz, it's fun to be psychotic!" Really, the entire sequence where Mr. B interpretive dances the various instruments is hilarious due to both its own Narm and Joel and the Bots' shocked commentary.
  • "Knew your father, I did!" "Leave my father out of this!"
  • "Ha ha... that's nice, MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!"
  • The debate between Tom Servo and Crow on whether Mr. B was a man or not, culminating in Crow's horror at Tom Servo's implications.
    Crow: Mr. Servo, you've GOT to be kidding me! Let's assume for the moment that Mr. B Natural IS a man. My heavens! What a confusing message to send to little kids! Already, there's the painful feeling of isolation, the horrible, scarring acne - and Mr. Servo here would have us place a cross-dressing man with a clarinet slap dab in their bedrooms! Why not men in Little Bo Peep costumes with stinky cigars explaining the facts of life to our unsuspecting daughters? I, for one—
    Joel: Mr. Servo, your rebuttal!
    Tom: Yes! Yes! Mr. Crow! I don't think we should stop there! Let's break down ALL the barriers. Hairy men in Spartan costumes holding bake sales on shady boulevards! Naked jock-strap wrestling! Big, wonderful

  • The show actually topped this by featuring Mike Nelson's real-life wife, the lovely and talented Bridget Jones Nelson, as a dead ringer for Mr. B. Natural in the gathering of the MST3K Rogue's Gallery during the 1995 Turkey Day Special, which is featured on the Mystery Science Theater 3000: XVI [Limited Edition] collection of episodes.
  • The manufacturing company, C.G. Conn (which is still around) gets one, too; after watching the short, one fan emailed them to ask if this was the same company responsible for "Mr. B Natural"; the response was, "Yes, and don't hold it against us."
  • Having Buzz play the same loud, fast jazz music from the previous scene during a slow dance.
  • Mr. B just serves this one right up on a platter:
    Mr. B: And don't be too sure I wasn't in the garden with Mr. and Mrs. Adam!
    Servo: Eh heh, you were the snake.
