* EvenTheDogIsAshamed: The movie uses the "bashful" type of this, with pet dog Wolf putting a paw over his face as Nancy and Mike make out. Crow, taking a different interpretation, almost quotes the trope verbatim:

* InMemoriam: In place of TheStinger, there is a dedication to Music/FrankZappa, who was also a fan of ''[=MST3K=]'' and had apparently expressed interest in [[WhatCouldHaveBeen collaborating with Best Brains]] shortly before his death.
