A fabulous arsenal is assembled: tanks, firepower, snow plows, Chevys.

"Roughly translated, he's saying, 'This would not have happened had we installed fiber optics.'"
"The Great Belasco: Juggler, Sword Swallower, and Pathologist Extraordinaire."
"You'll be surprised at the experiments that go on there."
"He's making a Taco Salad where you can actually eat the bowl!"
Don't forget the Alamo! No, we can do better. Davy Crockett is a dork! No. Remember the-- oh, forget it.
"Don't get me wrong, I love this Mexico of yours." But I like mine better-- got a little plastic burro... it's neat!
These aren't actual footprints, this is feta cheese, but it smells like feet so that's as close as we could get.
Now these aren't actual footprints, this is feta cheese. But it smells like feet, and that's as close as we could get!
Hey, you see my haircut? Look, I got a haircut too! Look, haircut, haircut, haircut, haircut, haircut. We all got our haircut!

Dr. E: "Come in, Joel, my little free-floating clambake...." "Wild boy."
Dr. F.: "Until next time, my little skin-on wiener." o_0
I'm so tempted to call somebody "free-floating clambake" or "skin-on wiener" IRL just to see what their reaction is.
And at about 00:18:12, we get a sketch that clearly inspired the Judge/Daniels team when they created Peggy Hill. :D

Such an underrated episode. I've laughed out loud many more times here than some of the episodes with over a hundred "laughs."
Oh man, "Thou shall not ki--" LOfreakinL.
I just caught the "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" reference, when they're going down in the elevator!

OMG, the host segment 40 minutes in is so classic!
The recurring theme of applauding every time the doctor is introduced just got funnier as it went along!

"Josh Weinstein" is not usually the first name that comes to mind when you think of the people behind MST3K, but his contributions were enormous. Besides helping to write the theme song, performing in front of and behind the camera, writing gags and operating puppets from the KTMA days onward, Weinstein reportedly discovered a struggling young comedian named Mike Nelson and asked him to join the crew. He makes a quiet, graceful exit at the end of this episode (while wearing several pounds of green makeup).
I love the golf metaphor they keep riffing on.
I like how Dr. Airheart says "bye" at the end of this one.
