[Did you spend the night here?] NOTHING HAPPENED! And if it did, it was consensual!

"Hey Joe, will ya turn on the TV set?" Mr. Ruby told me to watch the prison transfer.
Just rip the skull off the pig, then--Good night, Ma'am!--pop the eyeballs out and boil 'em...
"Get some lead shielding on that, and hurry." Sure, I'll just run down to Lead Shielding Hut and....

Now slump some more, let your arms just hang down there and don't move.

Sorry i got a really old johnson here and the motor does not work either..
Terror from the year 5000 turned out to be a Ford with bad brakes.
I realize now that I might have oversold the terror at the beginning and for that, I apologize!
um, terror from the year 5000 called in sick, I'm terror from the year 4543
Now what's going on? Who's that other guy? Where are we going? What is this fluid under my feet? What happened to the day ball?

58:58 Great homage to the Beatles "Hard Days Night". That exact reference was made to Paul McCartney's grandfather on the train. Servo even used his best Liverpool accent. I actually went back in time. Thank you Servo.
58:45 Mike Nelson insults every MSTie. "So now we're going to watch people watching a movie? What's that all about?" And what's worse, we were almost people watching people watching people watching a movie!
As often as people referred to Dr. Hedges by his last name, Mike and the bots didn't jump on it by calling the other person "Benson". There was a whole vein to mine with menthols, 100's, Ultra-lights...
Who the heck is her tailor... Sparkletts Water?

An uncomfortable moment during the "non-food pills" sketch: Mike references (and quotes) the Frugal Gourmet. This ep aired the month before the abuse allegations blew wide open. On the upside, the same sketch had a nifty Basil Fawlty imitation by TS. And was that Kaboom cereal in the Observer's bowls?
Ah yes, peeping, living in an old tool shed, pin-up porn….miss you dad!
Love Crow's time travel sketch.

-"He jumped me!"
-"I've had enough of your wild accusations!"
Wouldn't he be pretty sure whether or not someone attacked him?

I like how he just takes highly radioactive material through the air-port in a brown paper parcel.
(Note: to government big brother types who picked up on the words "radioactive" and "air-port" it's just a reference to the movie linked above.)

Okay, Carbon 14 dating would't tell you how far something has come through time, only how long it has existed which would come to how long it was in the future + how long it was in the past/present. That is to say if it were made in the year 5200 and a year later it was brought back in time and was then dated 3 days later carbon 14 dating would reveal it to be not -3250
some odd years but rather 1 year 3 days.
Also it doesn't work on metals.
00:47:06 - The trumpet-like noises from the time machine have Crow calling out for jazz great Don Cherry (1936-1995). I <3 you guys forever!

"Now you're suggesting that bologna has no insulating properties? Look, it's really cold, you're nude, and all you have is some bologna, and you refuse to wear it because it's absurd? That's really sad, Mike!"
Tom just wanted the chance to have Mike sing the Animaniacs theme.
(Nice J. Peterman homage there, too, Tom. Totally Nineties!)
Hey, what's the song that Crow sings for a while after the Terror takes that face out of her bag?
Maybe it's because it was gone for so long and I hadn't seen it in a while, but I'm finding this episode extremely funny. Funnier than I remembered. I've watched it three time's since it's been put back up.

If I had the time machine from this episode, I'd go back in time, film this episode, and post it back here.
Servo : "Terror from the year 5000 turned out to be a Ford with BAD brakes" I MUST concur Mr. Servo !!

Of all the movies MST3K covered, this is the only one that actively angers me... CARBON DATING DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!!!

At least The Creeping Terror got its title half right. The Terror From the Year 5000 doesn't just fail to terrify, but it actually comes from the year 5200. Tisk tisk. Observer musical number in the middle makes it worthwhile.
