Frankly, I don't think I can select just one.

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.)

Let's see...

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".

One which comes into almost daily use (from the PC vs. Mac host segment)

Crow (sarcastically): "Well, I guess you'ld rather have a little clown
juggle his way over to the file drawer, whistle a tune, and point to the
file."

Tom: "Well.... yes"

Pardon the paraphrase - I found this whole segment hilarious.

I have a bunch:
Giant Gila Monster: It's a speed bump with a tongue!
Any movie filmed in Chicago: They start humming the "Bob Newhart" theme
(the original Newhart)
One that should have been used in "Teenagers from Outer Space:" Oh, the
GUY gets to drive...he's a space alien, but he's a guy so he gets to
drive (we need female bots on the show!!! who watch the movies!!!)
From a Sandy Frank movie: Sandy Frank--what you get when you drop your
hot dog on the beach.

Someone on that show is from Chicago--lots of Chicago jokes. Trace
Beaulieu, maybe?

I like _The Day the Earth Froze_, where Lehotin (the boy wonder --
Canadian literary reference, everyone) -- is bobbing down the river on
his, well, log. He runs into the muscular babe, pulls up (hard to do on
a tree trunk), and Crow says:

"My other log's a a Redwood."

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.

My all-time favorite line is from (I think) "I Accuse My Parents"
(sorry, I'm not obsessive enough to remember the epidsode number).
A train is hurtling toward the camera. Crow says, "...uh, Camera Three
get off the track...Camera Three, CAMERA THREE, OH NOOO!!!" As the
train gets closer and closer. Cracks me up every time.

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...

I just discovered a new favorite line. It's fairly subtle, and it goes by
in about half a second, so you have to listen closely.

It's in *San Francisco International*. Pernell Roberts is coaching the
annoying child of the messy divorce in how to land his plane.

[Pernell: Davey, do you see the throttle?
[Davey: Yes, sir.
[Pernell: I want you to pull it halfway out.]
Mike: No, Davey, the throttle.

I just heard this line for the first time tonight, while listening on
headphones. I nearly choked on my Mentos.

Sorry to post twice but, a spelling mistake in the quote.

My Favorite MST3K line appeared in Manos: Hands of Fate.

One of Manos's wives is approaching Michael, the father figure, who is
tied up to a pole unconscious in the desert. When Crow mentions, "Oh no I
hope she doesn't pull a Jenny Fields!"
A quite sickening reference to John Irving's novel The World According to
Garp. In which Jenny Fields has sex with an injured soldier who you could
safely said was brain dead. You really should read the book, if you haven't
already.
Anyway, there's my opinion.

When introducing Pod People, Dr. Clayton Forrester tells them

"Your experiment today is Pod People. It has nothing to do with pods,
nothing to do with people and everything to do with hurting!"

In The Amazing Colassal Man scene where he is in the hospital bed wrapped
in bandages and is just beginning to grow. A nurse peeks under the
blankets at about thigh length and screams. One of the 'bots says
"Well something's bigger than we thought."

In the Santa Claus Conquers the Martians scene where the two children

I would like to know if there are any e-music fans on the MST3K cast, or
are the several Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, etc. references just
coincidence. The Music from the Hearts of Space dialog in Pod People,
for example, was just a bit too perfect for a casual knowledge of

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.

Second favorite line from the same movie, later on, as Secret Agent

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
Trickle" in it, but it did have Trixi, Spritle and Chim-Chim, Speed's
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....

My favourite comes from "Cave Dwellers"...there's one scene where the
female lead is injured and our big friend with the tooooo sweet pecs is
operating on her. Meanwhile, his chinese friend,for reasons unknown,keeps
pressing these large leaves to her face. This was when Crow pipes up with
(in a bad oriental accent) "Got the crazy idea,boss. Let's make a giant
cigar out of her!"

Not to mention all the nipple jokes later on in the same film. "Tits all

friends once. Can I cup one of your pecs?"

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

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....

Try to place these favorites (it's fun!)

-

"The pleasure mouth"

A lot of generalized European mumbles said as
a board room full of white guys empties out
("Ulm..."); and just after that, "They've really
captured the grandeur of white guys moving in herds."

"Have you seen my pants?"

"I can feel it here. Thanks Square Master!"

"In that case, we'd already be seated."

"Double Cranch? What's that about?"

"Here comes the death train!"

"They're his disciples!"

"Dont go in there." (said by a character in the movie!) (Tom laughs)

From the incomparable _Manos_:

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). :)

A couple that had me rolling:

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!"...

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...

Actually, this is a much more articulate (not to mention concise)
explanation than I could've devised. Thanks, Mike!

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
achieve). I sound like I'm giving one of those insipid "You kids today"
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...)

Bleah. I couldn't deal with gettin' edukated for another 4 years. Gimme
the real world! Gimme rent and tax forms and cooking for myself for a
change! Whee!

That was "The Car Acrobatic Team".

Who were the only "enemy" racers to show up on a later episode.

And of course, their lead driver, Snake Oiler. Who didn't *die*,
y'understand, people don't *die* in cartoons in the U.S., he just
got hurt real bad, bad enough so that we don't get to see him
again....
