** Not the only time they've done that joke. In ''Eegah'', a young man in a suit with his hair cut exactly like Astley's inspires Tom to sing the first line of the chorus from "Together Forever".

* In episode 820, ''Series/SpaceMutiny'' (which everyone needs to see simply for the list of nicknames for the beefcake star), Crow makes an offhand comment about an online encyclopedia: "Wow, 26 pages on Gwen Stefani alone!" This was four years before the launch of {{Wikipedia}}, which currently has at least ''15 pages'' directly related to her, as well as a Wikicommons and Wikiquote entry. The same movie had Mike riffing on one of the many '80s-refugee extras with the line "What have you got for me, Rick Astley?"
* In the ''Film/SantaClausConquersTheMartians'' episode, as a ridiculously cheap spaceship flies by, Crow declares (in a stereotypically nerdy voice) "If they cancel ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|1978}}'', I'm gonna kill myself!" This was funny back when the original series was a nerd cult classic. It became ''even funnier'' when the new (even more nerd-loved) series came out. And now, it's been announced that the next season (4) of the new show will be its last.
** The line (which got a firm DudeNotFunny-type reprimand from Joel) was inspired by a real-life incident where 15 year-old Eddie Seidel Jr. [[http://articles.citypages.com/2008-02-06/feature/a-long-way-down/3/ jumped off St. Paul, Minnesota's High Bridge]] in August 1979 after his written pleas to ABC to reinstate the show went unanswered. (They reused this joke in an eighth-season episode.)
** ''Film/SantaClausConquersTheMartians'' also features Crow repeatedly correcting a Martian's pronunciation of "nuclear".
* And then there's the moment during ''Hercules Versus the Moon Men'' when they parody a then-ubiquitous ad for the Scientology text ''Dianetics -- A Modern Science of Mental Health'', which involved reciting life questions and page numbers for the "answer" in the book. The last one? "How much more money can we get from TomCruise?" This was roughly a dozen years before Tom's Couch Shuffle incident.
** In ''Film/RidingWithDeath,'' Mike comments, as a group of men try to beat up the hero, "We'd like you to consider Scientology!" Jump to the Anonymous campaign against that religion...
* Mike Nelson did a Podcast/RiffTrax of ''Film/BattlefieldEarth'' early 2007. During the scene were the cave people are learning how to work technology, Mike cracks a joke: "Caveman Geniuses: On {{Fox}}". Several months later, a show about the Geico Cavemen aired on ''Creator/{{ABC}}''.
* Episode 409, ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E09TheIndestructibleMan The Indestructible Man]]'', made in 1992 (the episode, not the film), has the riff on Lon Chaney's name: "Any relation to Dick Cheney?" (Cheney was Secretary of Defense in 1992 - but many people didn't know that...)
** Many people also don't know that Dick and Lon were related, although distantly.
* When they did ''Film/BrideOfTheMonster'' in 1993, the gang noticed in passing that one of the good guys resembled Creator/JohnnyDepp. In 1994, Depp played the film's director, Creator/EdWood, for Creator/TimBurton in the film ''Film/EdWood'', and the making of ''Bride of the Monster'' itself is dramatized.
* In ''Film/TheBeastOfYuccaFlats'', or rather in the tourism short about Puerto Rico, Mike makes an offhand comment about "Fun times in Guantanamo."
** In the same episode, in one of the host segments, Crow parodies the Film Preservation Foundation with his own group that wants to let bad movies deteriorate. He calls it the Film Anti-Preservation Society, and uses the acronym "[[ADateWithRosiePalms FAPS]]"
* A few years before the Mike/Joel switch, Mike was guest-starring (he was a writer, so he'd always been around) in ''War of the Colossal Beast'' and read a fan letter, which included the line "My favorite is Joel". A few years later, the entire internet started arguing this exact question, but it's clear from the start that Mike was on the side of Joel.
* In the episode for ''Film/RocketAttackUSA'', Joel & The Bot's get a Hexfield-Viewscreen visit from a Russian cosmonaut stranded in space with two Bots of his own. The man playing that cosmonaut...Mike Nelson!
** In a related vein, during the episode for ''Gamera'', Joel goes overboard with the stupid Johnny Carson "Art Fern" impersonation. This annoys the Bots to no end until Crow says, "Stop! You can be replaced by Leno, you know....". Considering what happened with Joel Hodgson a few years later (albeit not with Leno).
* One of the Mads' invention exchanges was a tiny square exercise mat, which they talked about as if it unlocked some great fitness secret. Nowadays the mat bears an uncanny resemblance to the ''WiiFit'' balance board and its advertisements.
* In episode 821, ''Film/TimeChasers'', there is a riff on how the BigBad's suit wearing henchmen are "the director's friends who owned suits." In a later [[http://www.d1041111.dotsterhost.com/mst3k/special-events_interview_david-giancola-main.html interview]], the director himself confirmed this was true.
** In the same episode, at one point a bearded overweight resident of the BadFuture comments that he'd cut the throat of the guy who invented the time machine that caused the whole mess. Crow calls him "Michael Moore in 30 years".
* ...I'd hate to be the "Mike and Joel are [[Series/DoctorWho Time Lords]]!" guy, but...Mike and Joel are Time Lords.
* From Eegah, they have this quote, referencing a caveman: "I'm with Allstate. Who're you with?" Now consider the popular Geico commercials...
* In ''Film/MerlinsShopOfMysticalWonders'', Mike makes a crack about the father in the second half of the movie rushing out to go rent ''Film/BarbWire''. This was already a shot at ''Barb Wire'' for its negative effects on the production of the [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] movie. However, the joke falls under this trope because the first airing of this episode had heavy advertising from Sci-Fi for ''Barb Wire''.
* In ''Werewolf'', Mike and the bots riff about a gas station sign with gas prices that were absurdly high at the time of taping. The riff's funny now for the opposite reason: the prices in question are below $2 a gallon...
* Entirely in-series: at the end of 201, ''Film/RocketshipXM'', when Crow comments about how bad it is for people trapped in a capsule to be watching a movie about people ''dying'' in a capsule, Joel asks the Mads, "Why don't you just show us ''Marooned''?" Forrester's response: "We couldn't get it!" 2 years later in episode 401, they ''did''... thanks to Film Ventures International releasing it as ''Space Travelers''.
* The last episode of [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] showed Mike and the bots back on earth, sitting down to riff on a movie even though they weren't being forced to anymore. Their actors [[Podcast/RiffTrax did the same thing]].
* During one of the party boat scenes in Film/CatalinaCaper, Joel goes "You know what the difference between this and the Titanic was? The Titanic had talent." [[Film/{{Titanic 1997}} A few years and a few Oscars later...]]
* On the ''Film/MonsterAGoGo'' episode, one of the invention exchanges from Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank is of an action figure called [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk0i0yTPJBY "Johnny Long-Torso"]], which starts you off with a single body part and requires you to purchase parts sold separately to complete.

** The episode with ''The Amazing Colossal Man'' has Mike as the title character read the letter of the week, which includes the line "My favorite is Joel." See {{Broken Base}} above for why it's funny.
** In the ''Space Mutiny'' episode, Crow notes that the Internet-linked "State O' The Art Encyclopedias" Mike gets has "twenty-seven pages on Gwen Stefani alone!" Became even funnier when UsefulNotes/{{Wikipedia}} became a thing.
** In ''Werewolf'', Crow notes the "high gas prices"...of $1.34.
** During ''The Skydivers'', Mike and the bots latch on to the characters' obsession with coffee, Crow riffing "Wow, coffee! It's better than sex!" when offered some by a female character. Fast forward a few years later to [[HotCoffeeMinigame Grand Theft Auto San Andreas]]...
** While Joel never interacted with Pearl, he later ended up playing Mayor Dewey on ''{{WesternAnimation/Steven Universe}}'', where he has a crush on another character named Pearl. This has led to a few fanart crossovers between both Pearls, especially since both Pearls are intelligent, somewhat uptight moms who have trouble getting people to listen to them.
** One KTMA episode had Servo's diary pegs Joel as an violent bully who smoked. Cue ''Time Chasers'', where Mike's brother Eddie is exactly like that.
** ''Anything'' involving the Chicago Cubs and their infamous losing streak is this now that the Cubs ''finally'' won a World Series on November 2, 2016.
** The KTMA episode "[[Series/Stingray1964 Invaders from]] [[CompilationMovie the Deep]]" had one of its villians, Mauritimus, state as he arrives his "Starbase" that he would "report to (his) mighty leader in five marine minutes", causing Joel to riff that "[[Anime/DragonBallZ You know how long that is.]]"
** In ''Parts: The Clonus Horror'' Pearl is offended when the Space Children call her Grandma and says "I'm nobody's grandma!" The lead Mad of the 2017 reboot is her granddaughter.
** Try to watch any episode in which they riff Sir Mix-A-Lot and sing a lyric from "Baby Got Back" (such as ''The Incredibly Strange Creatures'') and ''not'' think of Music/NickiMinaj's AnswerSong "Anaconda" where Mike and the 'bots appear in the video.
** At the end of ''Angels Brigade'', when the group shot of the seven women is shown, Mike ponders "Which one was Bruce Jenner?" Servo quips, "He's the one of the left." 20 years later, Jenner underwent gender reassignment.
** The rest of the crew's clashes with Josh Weinstein due to him being so much younger than them, when for the 2017 revival Joel himself insisted that the cast be entirely new and 20 years younger than the original cast.
** When the show first began in 1988 at KTMA, they received a phone message from someone griping about the "constant interruptions" (i.e., the riffing). This is something most non-fans complained about throughout the series, but fast-forward to the 2017 reboot, which features a LullDistraction style of riffing, and now ''actual fans'' are griping about their being too much "constant interruptions". That said, there's some fans that don't mind this new style, see BrokenBase above.
** ''The Crawling Eye'' had Crow riffing on a chubby comic-relief character ("Dang, I’m just too fat to be climbing a mountain!") which became a RunningGag. Years later, beloved actor and climbing enthusiast '''[[Creator/BrianBlessed BRIAN BLESSED]]''' famously went on several mountaineering expeditions without losing his BigFun figure.
** The jokes about Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos that make Crow the ButtMonkey in the episode covering ''The Unearthly''. Trace Beaulieu (the voice of Crow, who even uncharacteristically addresses Crow directly as Dr. Forrester at the moment) would later be a writer for AFH from 1998-2007.
** Tom Servo starts to sing 'Tiptoe Through The Tulips' in ''Film/TheGiantGilaMonster'' to mock the main character's awful song. Fast forward a little more than a decade later and that very song is used as an IronicNurseryTune in the movie Film/{{Insidious}}. May be HarsherInHindsight for some.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4611CDqlBs MST3K invented]] the RickRoll!
*** Similarly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqKTtmybwYo&t=54s MST3K managed to predict]] WebComic/SquareRootOfMinusGarfield with surprising accuracy. This was actually acknowledged on [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=2424 strip 2424]].
** At the end of ''Zombie Nightmare'', Mike and the bots rip on the movie's metal-infused soundtrack, claiming it has "some of your favorites" for only $0.85. The kicker? The film ''opens'' with Music/{{Motorhead}}'s ''"Ace of Spades"'', which is routinely ranked as one of the best rock songs of all time (most recently in tenth place on VH1's list).
