I promise I will never send another bad movie with Joe Don Baker in which a dark haired sheriff in a small role gets shot and slides down a wall twice! OK? Happy?!

Servo, as Geronimo/Joe Don Baker
Yeah, I'm the star of "Mitchell," thank you. Had a bit part in "GoldenEye," yep.

Joe Don Baker (1936- ) played the title character in the 1975 movie "Mitchell" (used in MST3K episode 512) and played Jack Wade in the 1995 James Bond movie "GoldenEye" (a role he reprised in 1997's "Tomorrow Never Dies").

Crow, singing
Hello Major Tom, hello there Major Tom, how's it going, Tom...

Paraphrases Peter Schilling's 1983 song "Major Tom (Coming Home)." Actual lyrics: "'Hello Major Tom / Are you receiving / Turn the thrusters on / We're standing by..."

Servo, as evil guy dressed as a monk
I'm going to nail some theses to his head!

Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses (statements attacking various contemporary practices of the Catholic Church) to the door of Wittenburg's Church of All Saints. He did not, as far as history tells us, actually nail them to anyone's head.

Mike, indicating pink-hulled boat in the background
So sad, the Operation Petticoat set sitting out there, rusting...

Due to a shortage of red paint, the few cans Tony Curtis' character managed to secure were mixed with white paint so that the submarine in the Cary Grant film "Operation Petticoat" ended up an extremely girly pink.

Servo, as fleeing monk
This is Papal bull, man.

A Papal bull is a communiqué composed by the Vatican chancery. These letters to the rest of the Catholic Church at large can take the form of constitutions, encyclicals, decrees, decretals, or rescripts.

Crow, as escaping monk
Nice try, Joe Don! I'm off to make Xerox commercials!

In a 1977 TV commercial, Brother Dominick produced 500 perfect copies of a manuscript overnight by using the Xerox 9200, instead of transcribing them by hand as monastics were wont to do.

Mike, as Joe Don shoves bartender's face into a fishtank
Where'd he go, K-K-K-Ken?

In "A Fish Called Wanda," Otto (Kevin Kline) interrogates/tortures the stuttering, animal-loving Ken (Michael Palin) by eating all the fish out of Ken's aquarium-- including the Wanda of the film's title.

Darlin'... the big 'un's got my badge. Would you get it for me?
Crow
What?!
Mike
Wh-what kind of a great last line is that?
Servo
The hell?!

You better run...

Or he'll steal you lunch!

You better hide...

Your lunch!

You better run...

Or your lunch!

Crow, referring to the clapping in the ending song
Mmm, listen to that guitar solo. I think it's by Eric Clap...? Yeah, Eric Clap.

A reference to Eric Clapton (1945- ), a Grammy-winning guitarist/singer/songwriter known for hit songs like "Layla" (both with the band Derek and the Dominos and later as a solo artist) and his cover of the Bob Marley song "I Shot the Sheriff".

Mike
You know, maybe we should lay off the food jokes, guys.
Crow
Yeah. I guess it's not really fair to Joe Don Baker.
Mike
Yeah, I mean some people just metabolize just a little slower...
Servo, cutting him off
Meatballs fried in lard!
Crow
All right, Servo! Sorry, Mike, all bets are off.
Mike
Oh, come on now.
