* 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. Crow and Mike then deep-fry Servo's head. Servo is alarmed at first (Mike: "Oh come on, you didn't even miss it!"), [[ITasteDelicious but then finds that he smells delicious -- or at least the peppercorn ranch dip does]].

Mike, Servo and Crow prove that the whole silly affair involving a [[FlatCharacter one-dimensional]] scientist turning into a lizard 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 ''Film/TheCrawlingHand'', ''Film/TheProjectedMan'' and ''Film/{{Werewolf}}''. Shares many odd similarities with ''Werewolf'', in fact - guy named Paul, Southwestern US, Native American folklore, ditzy girlfriend...

* ClicheStorm: Played with in-universe. Mike's take on "The Band That Played California Lady." Every troubled rock band issue you can think of shows up.

-->'''Mike:''' Brain has performed illegal operation and will be shut down.

* NoNameGiven: The members of the Band That Played California Lady are, respectively, the fish-lipped guy (the singer), the Eskimo (the other guitarist), and the friendly-looking backup singer. The movie never gives them any other names, and Mike never calls them anything else during Segment 3's ''[[ShowWithinAShow SOL's Legends of Rock]]''.

** BrickJoke: Pearl addresses the S.O.L. crew as: "Mike, Crow, snack." The next cut to the S.O.L. has Servo wearing his new snack head, while Mike takes a munch of it in the theater.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything, DoubleEntendre: Quite a few are made about Johnny Longbone.

** The gang loves calling him "Longbone", with plenty of DoubleEntendre jokes.

'''Tom:''' ''[as the fish-lipped guy]'' I forced my skull right through my face, / and refused to wash my stringy haaaaaiiir..."

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

* EmbarrasingDampSheets: When Paul awakens with a CatapultNightmare, Crow says "I'm swimming in a pool! Oh no..."

** Servo precedes the list with "Velveeta, rattlesnake...." ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint Although rattlesnake meat is actually quite good]]).

* EpicFail: The prank in the movie was pretty pathetic, but in the host segment parodying it, Mike doesn't even really react at all. Crow, however, completely falls apart over what he perceives as a needlessly cruel prank (while Mike continues to sit there quietly).

* 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 ''Legends'' (complete with Kris Kristofferson impression).

%% * NativeAmericanCasino: "I see a HUGE CASINO!"
