From recent syndicated episodes:
Space Travellers (when astronaut's wife says she's lost insurance
statement) Crow: "I'd find that and pay it if I were you."
Giant Gila Monster (when guy pulls out miniature banjo) Crow:
"You shoulda washed that in cold water."
Anyone else have a candidate? (Maybe we'll make this a contest.)
In Teenagers from Outer Space, after a cop says into his radio there are
"only a coupla skeletons" at the murder site: "And they ain't talkin'!"
(Crow)
In High School Big Shot, after the femme fatale characters says she has
other plans for that evening: "I'm sharpening my breasts." (Mike)
The whole running coffee gag in The Skydivers. "Where is it, your coffee?"
And of course... "I'M HUGE!" (which I want to put on a T-shirt someday).
Of course, I'm forgetting several hundred.

Sorry to bust your bubbles, but the rest of the Us has heard of Paul Bunyon,
and Ren Festivals are everywhere.
In keeping with the thread, one of my favorite lines come from
(I think) Godzilla vs. The Sea Monsta. When An alarm sounds on the dock
and a lot of Japanese flunkies are shown running down the docks, Crow
says:
"Shag on out there Beanie Boys and fix that woop-woop noise."
Or in Catalina Caper when the father says "Take an aspirin, son" and Crow says
(in a VERY good approximation of the father's voice) "Take the whole bottle".

Crow (sarcastically): "Well, I guess you'ld rather have a little clown

Pardon the paraphrase - I found this whole segment hilarious.

I don't remember which one it was (Tom ar Crow), but somebody proposes a
drinking game for this film, where you drink every time somebody says
"Cabot". Now, admittedly, you'd be wasted before the first 15 minutes
were up, but I think that if you wanted to add drinking every time
Palance actually had a _line_, you'd really have something. I'm not too
sure what that something would be, but you'd have it.
Steven 'alcohol poisoning, maybe?' Munger
-Cabot! Cabot's back!
Of course, minus his big bird
Not enough budget.
More favorites from one of my favorite episodes:
"D'ya like my log? I got it for graduation."
[trafficopter style] "We have a backup on I-70...looks like there's a
flaming moose in the middle of the freeway...."
"Rocky, help me, I seem to be on fire!"
"Hey, there's something coming in on the UrineScope!"
"Boy, does *he* have an exaggerated sense of himself!"
"I think she's draggin' a muffler."
"Jeez, this is *so* much more fun than the *kegger* woulda been...."
"Are you with the bride, or the failure?"
"...and stay outta my sister."
-- KT
("oh, he failed to bring back the sampo! [failure!]
and we shall die of starvation! [sampo!]")
It's a toss up for me...
Strangely, both lines were from Christmas episodes...
#1 is Crow saying: "I want to decide who lives and who dies"
and #2 is the scene in Santa Claus where the mechanical reindeer start laughing,
the bots titter nervously then start screaming their heads off!!!
Some other favorite lines:
"Perkins! Get your leathery ass off my floor"
"Hey, you know this pizza is two hours late, but it's still pretty warm..."
"and remember, it [radiation] can only hurt you if you touch it."
"Johnny is a shapeshifter. He transmographies (sp?) and breaks the 13th seal."
The others are too numerous to list...

Just remembered my favorite line, from the same movie. Agent Double-Oh
Cave is running somewhere and (I think) Tom starts singing "Bob, Bob,
Bob of the Jungle, watch out for that tree..." And, sure enough, Bob
runs right into a tree.

Then there's the whole refueling scene in "The Starfighters" - "Whiskey

: "Oh, she's using the Mel Bay method!" (as she is playing her lute and

: or
: "It's like Poppin' Fresh Dough in there."

And of course, from the Hercules & Atlantis flick, at the end

announces, "And he's *not wet*, ladies and gentlemen! He's

The only form of racing that ever grabbed me and nailed me down in front
of the TV set was _Speed Racer_. Sure, the cast didn't have "Dick

father Pops Racer ("Pops" was apparently not his nickname, he was supposed
to have actually been born with it), Racer X's true identity of Rex
Racer, and of course Speed's handy-dandy mechanic Sparky. On one
episode, Speed even met up with a reckless driver named Hap Hazard.
I always wanted to see if I could handle the GRX....

I think this is pretty close, I have the lines written down at home.
This is the song that hooked me on MST3K, since I had only seen it off
and on for years before that.
I think "Hercules Unchained" has a big collection of the best lines...
"Thank you, Feces"
and when the girl is singing <cut to shot of Hercules in the wagon>
TOM:"Hey, the Herc's tryin' to sleep back here!"
<cut to shot of Odysseus>
CROW?:"I think I'll fall on my spear!"
when all the girls are running down the steps
CROW:"When Kennedys ruled Greece!"
and when the evil ruler is looking at his sword as he talks...
CROW:"What, are his lines written on that thing?"
and many more....
This is fraught with great lines:
"I wish to be the first to be crushed!" (Little girl runs out to meet
her brother & friend(?) as spaceship lands.)
That girl looks like she's 50!
She's sounds like she's from Nebraska.
And it goes on....

Little girl turns the poodle upside down-
Crow: "The doggie's sharp again, Mommy. Look, see?"
I show MST episodes to college freshmen to illustrate the concepts of
framing narrative and inter-textuality, and I chose _Manos_ last semester.
Not very many of them understood that line (thankfully). :)
In "Eegah!", in the scene by the swimming pool, when the young woman is talking
on the phone, then puts her hand over the receiver and turns to her boyfriend
to ask, "Do you know where Deep Canyon is?"... at which point Joel has to re-
strain his two friends from responding...
In "The Creeping Terror", where the scene switches back and forth between the
young people at the dance, and the creature crawling through the woods, then
the dance, then the creature, ad infinitum, until someone breaks the monotony
with "I should have parked closer to the dance hall!"...
C.K.
Um... I don't understand that line either. Care to explain it to a poor,
moronic undergraduate?

Santa: "When you find Droppo, you will find my suit. (chuckling)"

While Santa and kids are trapped in an air lock,
Tom (I think): Kids, have you ever heard a grown man scream, because
you are about to see Santa wimper like a whipped pup."
And a whole lot ofother good lines.
So far, with what little I have seen (relatively) "Santa Claus Conquers
the Martians" is my favorite.

OK. Did you ever have a sister and a dog? Or a friend with a
sister and a dog? Did the sister ever discover that the dog had
some different parts on it than she had? Nevermind, I can't go
any farther with this description. Needless to say, I've seen it
happen...

To Mike B.--Don't knock the state of "undergraduate-ness"; I'd love to be
there again. (Though I commend you for the 4 year goal that I couldn't

lectures or something, I know, but this exercise in specialization that
is grad school can really start to feel restrictive after awhile.
And I'm only 27 myself, for God's sake! ;)

I'm trying to graduate in 4 years, but this university is doing everything
in its power to keep me here for years to come. (i.e., making required
classes that I absolutely need for graduation JUST large enough so that
I get to go on a waitlist and grovel on my hands and knees to the CS
department chair to let me in. Bitter? Me? Naahhh...)
