The MST3K presentation contains examples of:

• Big "Shut Up!": Tom gives one when the obnoxious reporter gives one navel contemplating monologue too many.
• The Cameo: Leonard Maltin appears to advise Pearl on what bad movies to show Mike and the bots. He recommends this, though he confesses to liking it himself (having given it an above-average rating in his movie guide), although it supposedly put some of his assistants into intensive care..
• Continuity Nod
  Crow: Hi, I'm Gorgo - but I'm not Mormo of the thousand-faced moon.
• Empathy Doll Shot:
  Mike: (as the shot cuts to tanks) Now tanks are brought in to roll over the doll!
• Inherently Funny Words: "Dorkin."
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: A particularly infamous example. The episode aired only twice (on the same day) before MGM filed a copyright claim and it never aired again. Because of this, it's very unlikely it will get a DVD release. However, this may change in light of MGM's recent bankruptcy.
• Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: This time Mike accidentally brings chaos to the Nanites' circus (with Nate the Clown) by dropping a few quarters, causing death & freeing the wild animals.
  • Fridge Horror: This is the last episode where the nanites appear, and they're never mentioned again.
• Shout Out: When the boat is being rocked by the volcanic eruption at the start of the film:
  Crow: Mike, Servo? For what its worth, my heart will go on.
• Visible Boom Mic: Rare for MST3K - at 9 minutes in, Servo says "Hey, Mike Nelson!" and Mike says "Hey, Tom Servo!". When Mike turns his head you can see his microphone sticking out in front of his mouth.
