I just like “My spine!” which is in at least two of the shows… I don’t know why but I love it. I also say it a lot (in that voice) because it makes me so very funny.

Oh, so many lines…

**Space Mutiny** :

(Office shot prominently featuring the actress whose character died in the previous scene)  
CROW: Oh, it’s nice that they let the dead lady come back to work.  
TOM: (as supervisor) Look alive, everyone! … sorry, Debbie.

TOM: (singing) Torgo / I just met a fellow named Torgo…

(Michael tied to a tree, Master’s Wife approaches)  
MIKE: She’s gonna pull a Jenny Fields on him!

**Prince of Space** :

(Prince of Space dodges like a little girl)  
TOM: (Prince) Your weapons are powerless against me, but they scare the HELL out of me anyway!!

Which is pretty much literally true.

I also love:

Manos: “Arise my wives!” (Crow adds) “And iron my work shirt.”

“It’s a Frank Frazetta of Frank Zappa!”

And three classics at the expense of Torgo’s odd body…

“Been hittin’ the Thighmaster, there, Torgo?”

“He’s got Earl Campbell thighs!”

“Uh, Torgo…that _not_ how you wear jodphurs…”

From the short “A Day at the Circus”

One clown is whomping on another’s butt while hanging from a bar in a weird 69-position.  
Tom: “Oh, God, No! They’re doing it clown style!”

Short “The Chicken of Tomorrow”  
Dozens of chicks are running around a grassy lawn. Sitting in the middle of them is a little girl with an odd expression on her face.

Joel: “I’m full!”

A moment later they pan to a second girl.

Crow: “So how many are _you_ sitting on?”

Space Mutiny is probably my favorite:

As Biff McHugelarge leaves Captain Santa on the bridge: “He is **so** gonna sleep with your daughter!”

The best, however, is the chase scene between what are obviously two floor waxers that the director borrowed from his brother’s warehouse supply store.

Also from the chicken one:

“When it comes to getting the chickens to market, speed is essential.”

\<truck putters by\>

Tom: I said, SPEED is ESSENTIAL!

Another great one we haven’t hit: Riding with death!

It’s a secret government project, but he’s still got time to stop for some flapjacks.

Trucker:No one’s ever made it faster than 35, what’s your speed?  
Crow: About 120, is that a problem?

\<The truck explodes, but much less spectacularly than the plot indicated previously.\>  
Crow: That was supposed to level a city? Well, maybe it would singe the sides of a b&b…
