The Ultimate MST3K Thread

It’s Joel being every patron of the club in that scene that gets me. I’m giggling just thinking about it.

Which was the one where he sang a song that included the lyric
“. . . William Holden’s coming over. . .” ?

Harborwolf and I sing that every time William Holden’s name is mentioned.

Crow and Tom’s reverential love for and horror at the demise of Megaweapon is guaranteed to leave me incapacitated for the next hour.

For this very reason, that movie would have been simply too annoying to be fun – yes, you figured it out 30 minutes ago, so put some damn sodium on the monsters!!! If it weren’t for Tom mirroring my own exasperation, I don’t think I could have stood it. But fortunately, Tom was there to take that bullet. (A great line from that ep – “I just saw Rent!”)

Yeah, that made for a couple very surreal minutes sitting in the previews before Star Wars last weekend.

P.S. Well, the cheese isn’t gonna cut itself.

Oh, man, Boggy Creek II. That one has one of my very favorite gags ever.

The group walks into the general store.
Store owner: “Can I help you?”
Crow: “Yes, do you sell turquoise plastic pith helmets?”

Because, you see, on the wall in the background hangs a turquoise plastic pith helmet. It’s just so damn goofy, it slays me.

“Clown in the Sky,” from Pod People.

Then there was a closeup of the blond guy in the rock band - “My skull!!”

Oooh! Oooh! I just have to mention my favorite joke. In the short on cheating, when the crew starts shouting “Barabus! Give us Barabus!” I always crack up. And I always have to explain it to my wife.

Which had the best closing credits sequence ever, the “James Arness: Ugly & Stupid” – next on Biography" bit. Induces cardiac arrest.

Second-best closing credits sequence would be in Wuhrwilf, with all the songs that can be sung to the same rhythm as the chanting in the movie. “I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates, you’ve got a brand new key…TUSK!”

I guess I’m a fan of the Mike era.

Soultaker (during a close-up shot of Robert Z’Dar ): “He’s like a catcher’s mitt with eyes!”

The Deadly Mantis: Way too many to quote, but I love when the Army officer is wooing the woman in his car, when the radio reports the mantis sighted nearby. The woman asks if they should go after the mantis. Quoth Mike: “But there’s a mantis in my pantis.” :smiley:

And let us not forget Overdrawn at the Memory Bank with its anti-anteater agenda.

Best song: Servo’s Canada song. So evil!

I still love The Movie, when they do their own credits. The Amazing Rando gets me every time, and I can’t help it.

Another great credits sequence: The Hellcats opening. “Backgrounds illustrated by the Technicolor Yawn.”

Maybe we should let CandidGamera proceed with his quest…now that we’ve completely hijacked his thread. CG, was it your intent to do a show-by-show commentary? Now that we’ve done a free-for-all “ooh! ooh! I love this one!” :slight_smile:

“This is how much pure cocaine you’d need to enjoy this movie…”
I’ve been known to say “I’M EEENTERFACED!” on occasion. Only my younger brother gets it.

That the writers aren’t currently the highest-paid writers in Hollywood is an indictment of the entertainment industry.

I just saw Danger!! Death Ray for the first time…good, good stuff.

Heroine, on phone to hero: Please, come quickly.
Crow: That’s how it usually goes…

A “did he just say that?” moment.

No, as I said in the OP, this one’s supposed to be all-encompassing. The show by show reviews will just be a part of it.

As a moderate MST3K fan, I’m asking you for help. I don’t have much time at the moment to watch all the experiments I have, so can you please recommend which movies from the 2nd and 7th season are the best. I plan to watch them all but later when I can breathe more freely.
From the above mentioned seasons, I’ve allready seen King Dinosaur and Godzilla vs. Megalon.
Thanks.

And on the quote side of the thread. From Space Mutiny (and from my memory): People used to compare this race with the chariot race from Ben Hur. They would say: Ben Hur was great and this one really sucks.

Deathstalker. Santa Claus. Operation Double 007. The Sword and the Dragon. Cave Dwellers. Mitchell. Wild World of Batwoman.

“I don’t think that’s Chinese.”

We were playing dog and bear, you know? And Servo was chasin’ me, and I ran panicked over logs and through streams, maddened with primal terror, you know? And I turned and raked my deadly claws against his howling snout, you know, and I rose to my hind feet, towering, and still bellowing he came, and I mewled and spewed gore from my wounds, and snot from my flaring wild maw, and-and-and then we were locked like lovers, and-and I was engirdled by moiled spotted hound bodies, and my entrails were hangin’ out, and I tried a savage feral roar, but alas my force was spent and I died… And then Servo took it too far!

Allow me to reference my earlier policy on how your weapons are ineffective!

I don’t wanna go to Earth, Mike! There’s war and hate and car accidents and wild pigs…

Where’s my soup?

Ah, well, I guess that’s about right. I mean, what’s too far when your entails are spilling out? I mean, what’s the line?

That’s in my top five of host segments. :slight_smile:
