1* GeniusBonus: The crew's continuous arguing about what the Sampo actually does. In the film, it's given a defined purpose (producing limitless wheat, gold, and/or salt), but in the original Finnish folk tales, what the Sampo does is never actually ''defined''.
2* HilariousInHindsight: Joel makes a joke about ''Film/TheChristmasThatAlmostWasnt'' 24 years before [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S11E13TheChristmasThatAlmostWasnt the show made fun of it]].
3* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: This episode has more riffs in it than any other episode, a whopping 11.5 jokes/minute, one every 5 seconds.
4* NightmareFuel:
5** Many of the clowns in the circus short are pretty creepy, aside from Emmett Kelly's hobo get-up.
6** Joel and the bots are visually frightened by the statues of Finnish folklorist Elias Lönnrot (and the unmentioned "Impi") coming to life. Joel even calls them {{Golem}}.
7* ThrowItIn: At the end of the "Snack-tion" invention exchange where Crow and Tom are [[GratuitousNinja duking it out in the background as ninjas]], Tom's head falls off. ''Again.'' Since the sketch was pretty much done anyway it was kept in, and it fits in well with its content along with Trace's adlib immediately afterward.
8--> '''Crow:''' Uh-oh. I broke him.
9* ViewerGenderConfusion: Crow has this about the actress playing the witch.
