Interesting! I never thought of this as a flashback episode; I'll have to watch it again with that in mind.
This is an episode I have mixed feelings about, but there are particular lines here that always crack me up ("Ooh, is someone here to see Grandma Blob?" "Hello, Devil's office."), I think due to something about the way the riffs fit so perfectly with the on-screen action. For me this film is an example of the optimum level of bad. It's clearly sub-par by a lot of metrics so I never feel bad for making fun of it, but it's not so painful that I couldn't watch it un-MSTed if I had to.
I also like the short, though I think the shorts were generally used to better effect earlier in the series.
