- Ardy's catchphrase |

Behind the scenes[]
- Ardy is played by series creator Joel Hodgson, marking the second character he has portrayed on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
- His catchphrase "Movie in the hole!" is a take on the old phrase "Fire in the hole", a warning that an explosive detonation in a confined space is imminent.
- Ardy pronounces his name phonetically ("R.D."), a reference to "Research & Development".
- Using forced perspective, Ardy is made to look much further away from the tank, as shown in relation to the size of the utility truck parked next to the tank.
