* TauntingTheTransformed: Lister is accidentally transformed into a chicken when Cat starts futzing with the DNA machine controls. Upon seeing the results, Rimmer not only asks if they really want to turn him back, but clucks for his attention and jokes that he still has a beer gut even as a chicken. Shortly afterwards, [[RobotBuddy Kryten]] is accidentally [[HumanityEnsues transformed into a human]] by yet more random button-pressing from Cat, who responds by deadpanning, "you lost your looks."

* BecomeARealBoy: Subverted, basically just by being about what happens ''after'' the magical transformation. Kryten is turned into a human and it's his dream come true at first. Lister tells him humanity is just another state of being with its own set of ups and downs, not some kind of perfect ultimate evolution, and after realizing the truth of it himself, Kryten eventually changes back to a mechanoid.

* ResizedVocals: Lister tries to get Holly to use the DNA modification machine to turn him into a superhuman so that he can destroy the mutton vindaloo beast. Unfortunately, he is instead made twelve inches tall, with his voice becoming squeaky and high-pitched to match - accomplished by Craig Charles putting on a silly voice.
