That's no piece of alternative reality! That's a battle station!
I think I know him better. "Yeah, well, my dad can beat up your dad."
Imagine what would happen if a married guy came home after five years and found his wife with an old woman. "Oh, I don't even want to think about that."

Strange way for lodge brothers to meet each other... (being a Freemason, this is especially funny!)

So they left just as the volcano subsided. Also, Linda was swapping spit minutes after meeting him and seconds after he told her he undressed her and then slapped her. Then, Tang certainly recovers well from a gunshot wound.

I think the word that best describes that space ship is spacious. Does space not eat space? As for spacious uniforms . . . not so much.

so this ep is actually the season one finale, last to be made and last to air, but has been given a lower production order, which is why its number 4 and not the last one, but if ur watching chronologically, then i'd skip to the next eps, and come back to watch this at the end of the season
Report
for those wondering, the letter is referring to episode 10 because this was the last ep of this series to air, so i dont know why its number four, when it should be number 14. even wikipedia has it as number 4, yet its air date is after ep 13.

The sound effects must of been recycled on Star Trek. Lots of identical sounds. Not to mention that there is a Mr. Scott in this film.

Props for using time dilation as a plot point. I mean the explanation is wrong on many levels, but this was an era where you couldn’t look it up on Wikipedia.

35 - Remember the words of that great planetary prophet: Let them that don't want none have memories of... *sigh* forget it.
I looked it up. The "prophet" is southern comedian Brother Dave Gardner, and the quote is "Let those who don't want none have memories of not getting any. (And let that be their reward, not their punishment.)"
This leaves me with questions.
1. Did the actor forget the rest of the line and just give up (and they just kept the take as-is), or was it actually scripted that way? I can't figure out why they would have done either.
2. What's the point of the original line? It doesn't strike me as clever or funny at all, and yet it's one of the most famous lines from a comedian who (at least at the time this was made) had national recognition. YouTube has videos of him performing, but nothing specifically marked with that line, so it's hard to find context for it. I did watch a video of him telling "the motorcycle story" (apparently an old southern joke that was one of his most popular bits) and boy was that a waste. Long, rambling set-up for a weak punchline. Shaggy dog story, I guess? Completely unfunny, anyway, at least to me.
3. People back then thought this stuff was entertaining?

I just noticed that the animals outside the Mads' raw food restaurant diorama are not just pigs and cows and goats. There's a horse, and, right up front, a dog. (Specifically, I believe that might be Lassie.)

The funniest thing about this may be the original movie trailer, which tries very hard to make it look exciting and sexy and fails utterly due to lack of material. Of note, there's a very brief look at a scene where two cavewomen fight. According to Wiki, the scene was added to the international release of the film in an attempt to spice things up. https://youtu.be/YuEefWBdMoQ

This episode is such a great example of Joel's superior use the fact that he's a shadow in front of a screen to make gags!!! Love when he joins the fight - and presses buttons, and reads the note the guy is holding - early in the film.

Oh, right, this is the episode that The Comedy Channel aired out-of-order. You can tell because the final host segment mentions the Name The Avocado Man contest, referring to episode 110 Robot Holocaust. The Brains produced this episode late in the season, but the network aired it earlier - probably due to the fact that the season's first few episodes featured slowly-paced black-and-white badly-preserved movies; maybe also because the crew was much more comfortable riffing by this point.

Regrettably, during a working weekend by a Congressional subcommittee set to make final recommendations for future funding of NASA’s manned space exploration program, THIS was the film chosen to be shown as Saturday nights after dinner entertainment... Afterwards, in the hallway, reporters overheard Congressmen muttering things like: “So, why even bother?” “Defund it now while we still have time!” “Ugh, might as well just give it to the Coast Guard.” And “Man, that Paul Gilbert really sucked!”
