YMMV / Mystery Science Theater 3000 S10 E05: Blood Waters of Dr. Z

Go To

  • Crosses the Line Twice: Tom Servo's "I need to simplify my masturbation ritual" line (during the endless "lab setting up scene"). It comes completely out of nowhere and Crow's expression of utter shock just makes it all the more hilarious.
  • Funny Moments: Crow's take on the doctor's soliloquy.
    • Pearl's love deprivation experiment on Mike and the 'Bots. After first confusing love with adding fractions and her recipe for puff pastry, she sends them a bucket labeled "Pearl's Love Stuff" (which contains such things as a staple remover, a pawn shop receipt for a 10-gauge shotgun, a bottle of flavored gin, twelve hot pads, and an alternator), and then takes it away. Crow doesn't take it well.
      Crow: No love! Love is gone! So lost! Feeling panicky! No sense of self! Developing stress-disorders and inability to work with others! (singing) WHERE IS LOVE?!?!
    • She sends it back.
      Crow: Love! Sweet hot pad love! Hm, she does love me! *Movie sign* Goodbye, love!
    • During one of the side sections, when Mike and the bots are fishing from space (while using Minnesota Nice accents):
      Crow: Whoa, nelly. What kinda lure were you usin' Mike? A grenade? Or...
      Mike: Well, sometimes when you bring 'em through high orbit they'll freeze n' go through explosive decompression.
      Tom Servo: Oh, that'll wreck your catch.
      Mike: Yeah.
      Tom Servo: Better throw it back.
    • Riff-wise, this just may be one of the greatest lines ever done:
      Voiceover of Dr. Leopold's Former Boss: Your theory is insane, doctor! Turning a man into a fish? I cannot approve funding for such an outrageous experiment!
      Crow: ...Now pull up your pants and get out of my office!
    • One line in the movie itself is so ridiculous that all Mike and the 'Bots can do is giggle:
      Walter: On the surface, it looks like an animal. Like a cat, or an ape.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Mike's riff of "He's the Dana Plato of catfishes!" as Leopold wrecks a drugstore, while apt, proved to be very poorly-timed, as Plato would die of an overdose less than a week after the episode's initial airing.
  • Squick: The chew tobacco scene.
    Servo: Have you tried this Crow's Tobacco Juice brand pop? It's not very good.
