History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S10E07TrackOfTheMoonBeast

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: "How do you light your own back on fire?"
* [[NativeAmericanCasino "I see a HUGE CASINO!"]]

* "WhatAnIdiot, huh? Well, let's go." [[invoked]]

* WunzaPlot: "He's a cop. He's a rabbi. They're cops. Except for the rabbi."

** Servo precedes the list with "Velveeta, rattlesnake...."

* {{Mondegreen}}: The gang loves calling him "Longbone", with plenty of DoubleEntendre jokes.

Mike, Servo and Crow prove that the whole silly affair involving a [[FlatCharacter one-dimensional]] scientist turning into a liazrd creature via a moon rock makes for great SnarkBait. Note that, rather improbably, this is actually the ''fourth'' movie the show featured about a guy named Paul turning into a monster, preceded by ''{{The Crawling Hand}}'', ''{{The Projected Man}}'' and ''Film/{{Werewolf}}''. Shares many odd similarities with ''Werewolf'', in fact - guy named Paul, Southwestern US, Native American folklore, ditzy girlfriend...

* HeyItsThatGuy: Mike spots [[WheresWaldo Waldo]] in the crowd watching The Band That Played California Lady play "California Lady."

[[TheStinger "Moon rock? Oh wow."]]

* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: Mike gives us a complete summation of the meteoric rise and meteoric-er fall of The Band That Played California Lady in a sketch parodying VH1's ''Behind the Music''.

* ActNatural: When Mike discovers the 'bots peeping on him, Crow invokes this verbatim. It takes 2 seconds for both 'bots to crack.

Can Paul be cured? Can Longbone save the day? Do we really care? No, yes, and no, respectively, but [[MysteryScienceTheater3000 Mike, Servo and Crow]] prove that the whole silly affair makes for great SnarkBait. And don't miss a special performance from The Band That Played California Lady -featuring the talents of The Fish-Lipped Guy, The Eskimo and The Friendly-Looking Backup Singer- playing their #-1 hit "California Lady." Or do; whatever's cool.

* DeepFriedWhatever: Crow and Servo order an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blooming_onion onion blossomer]], and proceed to blossom and deep-fry everything in sight, including a bowling ball, a caulking gun, and Mike's wallet.

* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Servo adds "... hair" to Johnny's recipe.
