[Shep wriggles on the ground in pain.] Joel: This exercise will give your dog buns of steel. ** Buns of Steel was an exercise video that came out in the 1980s, focused on developing the gluteus maximus muscles. ** MST3K 510 Painted Hills

Servo: [As Shep lies there, poisoned.] Probably having hallucinations right now of a little wagon coming out of the kitchen cabinet. ** In Purina Chuck Wagon dog food ads in the 1970s, a dog would chase a tiny horse and covered wagon team across a kitchen floor. ** MST3K #510

Joel: [As Shep, after Lin has poisoned him.] I can’t believe I ate the whole thing. ** “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing” is a line from a 1970s ad for Alka-Seltzer. ** MST3K 510 Painted Hills

[Lin has just thrown Shep a piece of poisoned meat, which he has eaten.] Crow: Oh no, get the ipecac. ** Doctors no longer recommend the use of syrup of ipecac in the case of accidental poisoning—instead, call a poison control center. ** MST3K 510 Painted Hills

[Lin throws Shep a piece of poisoned food.] Joel: [Sung.] Puppy Chow, for a full year, until he’s full dead. ** This is a parody of a late 1970s/early ‘80s advertising slogan for Purina Puppy Chow: “Puppy Chow for a full year, till he’s full grown.” ** MST3K 510 Painted Hills

[Tossed food to Shep.] “So that’s the way it is, huh?” Crow: Uh-huh, uh-huh. ** A line from “That’s the Way (I Like It),” a #1 hit for KC and the Sunshine Band in 1975. ** MST3K 510 Painted Hills

Servo: That’s an odd taste. * In a host segment in MST3K #404, Teenagers From Outer Space, Dr. Forrester spritzes his mouth with breath spray, performs a bit of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a Resusci-Annie doll, and remarks, “That’s an odd taste.” * MST3K 510 Painted Hills

cooked, not fried, repeatedly or otherwise. While frijoles refritos might be baked or fried, usually they’re simply beans that are boiled, seasoned, and mashed into a paste.

Servo: [As Lin.] Here. Hope you like refritos. ** “Refritos” is short for “frijoles refritos,” or refried beans, a mainstay of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. Fun fact: “refried” is actually a misnomer—in this context “refrito” just means... ** MST3K 510 Painted Hills
