1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Servo's ode to the 70's (that is, 70-79 A.D.), as well as "Do You Remember the 50's?" (same mistake).
2-->''Back in the funky seventies\
3the party didn't ever stop!\
4The city of Pompeii was doin' alright\
5But Vesuvius blew her top!''
6* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
7** Mike is unimpressed with Servo's new foam-latex "trucker" body:
8--->'''Mike:''' You have no butt!\
9'''Servo:''' Hold on there Mike, that's no way to talk to my new butt!\
10'''Mike:''' No, no I think you're hideous. You're buttless and skinny and ''no,'' no. ''[Walks away]''\
11'''Servo:''' Ah, you're just jealous, Nelson! I have a fine butt! You ''wish'' you had my butt! ''I'' like my butt!!
12** The New England Journalist jokes.
13** "Boy, I hope it never stops being TheSeventies or we'll all be in trouble."
14* HilariousInHindsight:
15** Mike's riff of "We'd like you to consider Scientology!" when thugs attack Casey in the second part of the "movie" takes on new meaning in these times of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' and Anonymous.
16** Mike also does a riff about Sam getting his "swine flu results" as part of a larger running gag about this clearly being the 1970s. In light of the swine flu scare of 2009, however...
17* HoYay: When Robert Denby accuses Leonard of harassing him, Crow riffs as Leonard: "So I pinched your butt ''once''!"
18* MemeticMutation: The series of truck-based DoubleEntendre gags. Most famously, ''Transformers'' fan "Dinobot" (after the ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' character) had one of these gags quoted in his signature ''immediately'' after his Usenet {{tagline}}:
19-->''Dinobot has spoken. My rigid grill structure is bearing down on your unprotected cargo door. -- Tom Servo Riding With Death''
20** Dinobot's voice actor, Creator/ScottMcNeil, was actually convinced to say the "rigid grill structure" line in-character at a convention.
21** Incidentally, this episode seems to be the major contributor to the {{MSTing}} meme[=/=]RunningGag of Crow making lewd jokes and getting a FirstNameUltimatum chastised by Joel or Mike. Which is also an example of CharacterExaggeration.
