YMMV / Mystery Science Theater 3000 S03 E03: Pod People

• Funny Moments:
  • Crow's "Potato Soliloquy".
    Crow [As Trumpy] "This potato's got big ears. Yes."
  • When one of the women has been killed after taking a shower:
    Tom: She's Zestfully dead!
  • "Trumpy, you can do stupid things!"
  • "With a pickle mind, we kick the nipple beer, steady as a goat, we're flying over trout..."
  • The third host segment. Especially Tom Servo hanging from the ceiling and screaming.
  • "I'm in the shower, I'm completely vulnerable..."
  • Trumpy's definition of fun.
    Tommy: Do you know what fun is, Trumpy?
    Crow (as Trumpy): Yes, it's where I break you in half.
  • And now, Music From Some Guys In Space.
  • "It's called evil, kid."
• Growing the Beard: This is often considered to be one of the first really good episodes of the show.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Joel points out the resemblance of Brian the manager to Andy Travis. Oddly enough, the actor who played Brian, Emilio Linder, later had a bit part in Rustlers' Rhapsody, directed by WKRP in Cincinnati creator Hugh Wilson.^note It was filmed in Spain
  • Youtube commenters have pointed out that the lyrics of "Idiot Control Now" sound like something Beck might have written.
  • The Late Late Show has had a public domain karaoke segment.
  • The "I named you after Donald Trump" riff gained new relevance in 2016.
  • “So people are being methodically killed off by the Banana Splits..."
  • Crow's voice for Trumpy sounds like Yellow Guy.
• Inferred Holocaust: As Crow points out, Trumpy was raised by a child, and as such won't last too long in the woods.
• Memetic Mutation: *Makes 'okay' hand gesture* "It stinks!"
• Unintentional Period Piece: The riff about the kid seeing his own Face on a Milk Carton dates the joke to when this was still a common practice, before the 2000s.
