* DudeNotFunny: InUniverse; Joel and the 'bots clearly find the reptile fights to be painful, if not a prime example of animal cruelty.

* ShoutOut:
** [[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet1984 "I'm your boyfriend now!"]]
* {{Slurpasaur}}: Pointed out when Dick called the iguana a ''TyrannosaurusRex''.

* AnythingButThat[=/=]CallBack: Upon seeing the opening credit "Lippert Productions", Joel and the Bots dredge up memories of other Lippert films they've been forced to watch.

* {{Slurpasaur}}: Pointed out when Dick called the iguana a ''TyrannosaurusRex''.
-->'''Dick''': It resembles the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' from Earth's prehistoric age.
-->'''Servo''': No, it doesn't.
-->'''Crow''': Sorry, no way.
-->'''Dick''': This monster dominates just as similar ones dominated Earth 125 million years ago. It's like living in the past.
-->'''Crow''': It's an iguana!
-->''(later when Ralph and Patricia encounter the lizard)''
-->'''Patricia''': What is it?!
-->'''Crow''': It's an iguana, now shut up!

-->'''Servo''': How did they get him to shake like that?
-->'''Joel''': They covered him with shag carpeting.
-->'''Servo''': Yeah. Poor elephants.

** ActuallyPrettyFunny: Crow approves of the visual pun.

* Since this is the fourth Robert Lippart film the crew have seen, Crow demands an explanation... just not with visual aids or song; he's not worth it. Joel compromises by demonstrating a theremin. The [=MSTies=] from Milwaukee wrote a letter and show off a scorecard they created. The Mads decide to go to a Kurosawa film festival.

-->'''Crow:''' "[[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]]? Uh, no, [[DrivingStick he drove a stick.]]"

-->'''Crow:''' But I ''did'' find him [[HideYourGays down by the waterfront]] [[FanDisservice dressed in a spartan costume]] goin', "Kitty! Kitty!"

** And even worse, Joey has not yet appeared in the film by the time the sketch happens, making it pretty darn confusing on first viewing. They try to cover it with Joel saying he read a film guide that says it'll happen.

* Joel's incredibly invention is an incredibly stinky sweat sock; make of that what you will. Frank manages to flatten Dr. Forrester and has to scoop him up with a shovel, so ''he's'' the invention for them.

* SpecialEffectFailure: More of a film transfer error in this case. Apparently the print of ''King Dino'' used in this episode has the tendency to have abrupt cuts to black for a second in the middle of a scene whenever there is a reel change. Joel and the Bots take obvious notice of this.

* AmusingInjuries: Dr. Forrester gets [[spoiler:pancaked by an elevator]].

* ArtisticLicenseZoology: That's not a lemur, it's a kinkajou. They're not even related to lemurs.

->'''Ralph:''' ''[[TheStinger staggers to the ground]]''

->[[TheStinger AHHHHHH!]] ''[[TheStinger [Ralph staggers and collapses]]]''

-->'''Joel''': You know, lizards ''were'' harmed in the making of this film.

-->''(later)''

-->'''Dick''': It resembles the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' from Earth's prehistory.

-->'''Crow''': It's an iguana, now shut up!

* EverythingsWorseWithBees: "Relax?! There's a bee the size of a moose over there, and you want him to relax?!"

** It also became one out of universe, to the point where the show itself spoofed it in ''{{Last Of The Wild Horses}}''. It doesn't help that Joel blows his lines several times; apparently this was the best take they got and everyone just wanted to move on.
