| 1 | * AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Upon seeing Harold P. Warren being credited as the producer and director, Servo jokes that you can find him in the Yellow Pages for the Fertilizer Corporation of Texas. Sure enough, Warren was actually a fertilizer salesman in real life -- however, since the film had been listed in the Psychotronic Movie Guide, and noted Warren's profession, Best Brains probably already knew his day job. |
| 2 | * ApprovalOfGod: Tom Neyman and Jackey Neyman-Jones both loved the ''[=MST3K=]'' take on ''Manos''. The two were even already fans of the show before they showed the movie, and years later Jackey would actually become good friends with several of the ''[=MST3K=]'' cast members. Joel even wrote the foreword in her book. |
| 3 | * MagnumOpusDissonance: Many fans have ranked this as one of the show's best and funniest episodes of all time, often holding it as a classic episode and the show at its best. Hodgson, meanwhile, stated in an interview he felt ''Manos'' wasn't the best experiment the show had done. The entire crew was so caught off guard by the sheer inexplicable weirdness of the film that they weren't able to bring their A-game. |
| 4 | * ParodyRetcon: By the end of the experience, Warren predicted ''Manos'' could be redubbed as a comedy and make good money. How right he was… |
| 5 | * ReferencedBy: The Podcast/{{Rifftrax}} commentary for this movie begins with Kevin (the only one of the trio who was riffing in this episode) saying, “Well this looks familiar…” |
| 6 | * YouLookFamiliar: Recurring player and future ''[=MST3K=]'' host Michael J. Nelson appears as Torgo in the closing segment. |
| 7 | * The ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' strip seen at the final host segment is from [[http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1992/12/20 December 20, 1992]]. |
