Go To

  • Pants! Pants! Sing the praises of pants!
    • It ends with a parody of "If I Were King of the Forest":
      Joel: What keeps our legs warm and hot?
      Servo and Crow: Pants!
      Crow: What prevents a buffalo shot?
      Joel and Servo: Pants!
      Servo: What do they got that I ain't got?
      Joel and Crow: Pants.
      Servo: Oh, you can say that again.
  • Joel and the Bots' hysterical overreaction to the "sandstorm" scene.
  • When the Queen of the Moon Men undergoes Rapid Aging thanks to Hercules interrupting the resurrection ceremony.
    Joel: This film has aged me...
    Crow: I know how she feels.
  • Crow flat-out stating that a drawing a kid sent in during the letters segment isn't very good. The way Crow delivers the line so matter-of-factly is what sells it.
  • The culmination of the "Pizza! Pizza!" Running Gag whenever the mooks appear on film:
    Horde of mooks swarm the heroes.
    Joel and the Bots: PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!PIZZA!
    • Also, Joel-as-Herc's "Pizza pizza, my ass!"
  • The remark about Samara getting attacked by Rock-em Sock-em Robots.
  • The feathers on Samara's throne make her look like she's got a turkey butt. Cue gobble-gobble noises from Joel and the bots.
  • The Mads are in magnificent form in this episode. DEEP HURTING is worth the price of admission alone, and then there's this exchange after Joel's invention sends Frank off on a Mushroom Samba:
    Dr. Forrester: Push the button, Frank.
    Frank: I am the button. (wanders off)
