YMMV / Mystery Science Theater 3000 S10 E07: Track of the Moon Beast

• Creator Backlash: Downplayed. Musician Frank Larrabee reportedly didn't care for the "Fish-Lipped Guy" sobriquet the episode bestowed upon him (not that you can blame him; it's certainly not a nickname most people would insist on), but he otherwise enjoyed the show's riffing.
• Funny Moments:
  Johnny: "I know what you're thinking..."
  Servo: "I'm boring and my slide-show eats."
  • As Paul transforms in the hospital:
  Mike: "I'm ready to fight Captain Kirk."
  • Tom having the doctor greet Paul with "What up, bitch?", perfectly timed with the doctor's nod.
  • "And the monster's red glare..."
  • In the crowd watching The Band That Played "California Lady", Mike spots a skinny guy wearing a red/white striped shirt & coke bottle glasses:
    Mike: "Hey, look there behind Longbone; it's Waldo!"
    Crow: "Waldo!"
  • The Call-Back to Johnny's Long List of stew ingredients.
  Johnny: "The thought of it makes me sick to my stomach!"
  Servo: "Soon I'll be throwing up corn....green pepper....chicken....(sigh) onion..."
  • This:
  Johnny: "The Demon in the painting..."
  Crow: "We were lovers, once..."
  • Mike's "Behind the Music" segment on the Band That Played "California Lady" is this from beginning to end.
    • Adding to that is the fact that The Band That Played "California Lady" has all this history and drama, but never receives a proper name (nor do its members, who are exclusively known as The Fish-Lipped Guy, The Eskimo, and The Friendly-Looking Backup Singer).
  • Crow's dismay at the shot of the Moon obviously being just the camera zooming in on a picture of the moon, with Tom surmising that the Moon must have backed out at the movie at the last minute.
• Ho Yay: Servo broaches the topic briefly.
  Johnny: "If Paul calls me during the night..."
  Servo (As Johnny): "I'll roll over and say, 'What?'"
  • The Bots spying on Mike just to see his pajamas is questionable enough, but some of their remarks when it looks like they're about to get a shot really add to it.
