| 12 | * Some of the riffing in this episode is pretty funny, for instance: |
| 13 | -->'''Alan''' ''(in film)'': Too many things missing...\ |
| 14 | '''Crow''': Like a plot! |
| 15 | |
| 16 | [[AC:102: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S01E02TheRobotVsTheAztecMummy The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy]]]] |
| 17 | * Dr. Forrester demonstrating his new security countermeasures on Dr. Erhardt, a swinging battering ram that knocks Larry out... then [[HoistByHisOwnPetard knocks Dr. Forrester out when he foolishly blunders into its path]]. |
| 18 | * During ''Radar Men on the Moon: Moon Rocket'', the riffing during the "scientist vs. thugs" fight. |
| 19 | * "[[HollywoodDarkness Sure is sunny in space!]]" |
| 20 | * After the Robot sets the grave-keeper on fire: "''Immolation'' is the sincerest form of flattery!" |
| 21 | |
| 22 | [[AC:103: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S01E03TheMadMonster The Mad Monster]]]] |
| 23 | * Tom Servo [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS-o-gUcAuI flirting with a blender.]] |
| 24 | -->'''Servo''': God, you've got classic features; crush, grate, chop, whip. Baby, you've got it all. ''(Joel enters and switches on the blender)'' Oh, and a lovely singing voice too. Oh, you do have it all. Joel, I'm in love. ''(Joel drinks from the blender)'' Joel? Joel! That's it! The gauntlet's been thrown! Nobody drinks from my gal! |
| 25 | ** After he realises his mistake, Servo goes off and starts chatting up another appliance: |
| 26 | --->'''Servo''': Excuse me miss, I've noticed you— oh, excuse me ... Mr. Coffee. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | [[AC:104: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S01E04WomenOfThePrehistoricPlanet Women of the Prehistoric Planet]]]] |
| 29 | * Joel and the Bots take every opportunity to mock the insufferable comedy relief, Lt. Bradley. |
| 30 | -->'''Crow:''' He'll be riding in the trunk on the way back to Earth... |
| 31 | * When one of the crew is killed by [[WhenPropsAttack an unconvincing giant spider]]: "How horrible! To be killed by a plush toy!" |
| 32 | |
| 33 | [[AC:110: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S01E10RobotHolocaust Robot Holocaust]]]] |
| 34 | * Joel's [[BlatantLies very definitely real]] attempt at doing a handstand. The floppy fake legs are intentional SpecialEffectFailure at its finest. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | [[AC:112: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S01E12UntamedYouth Untamed Youth]]]] |
| 37 | --> '''Bong''': ''(singing)'' Oh, you ain't gonna make a cotton picker outta me!\ |
| 38 | '''Tom Servo''': Shut up. |

| 42 | |
| 43 | [[AC:201: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E01RocketshipXM Rocketship XM]] ]] |
| 44 | * There is a largely silent sequence near the end of the movie, where the doomed crew of the RXM finally resume radio contact with Earth and desperately try to deliver what data they can before they crash so the mission won't be a complete waste. We do not hear the crew's end of the conversation -- only the scientist on Earth recording what they say. This allows Crow, with Servo and Joel joining in later, to add in a truly amazing dialogue track. |
| 45 | --> '''Scientist''': Come in, RXM!\ |
| 46 | '''Crow''': Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllp!\ |
| 47 | '''Scientist''': Repeat that again please, Dr. Van Horne?\ |
| 48 | '''Crow''': I said--\ |
| 49 | '''All Three Riffers''': Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllp!\ |
| 50 | ''The scientist grabs a pad of paper and begins furiously writing.''\ |
| 51 | '''Crow''': H-E-L-P. Pronounced--\ |

| 58 | * The Invention Exchange features the Mads' [[VisualPun tank tops...]] [[DontExplainTheJoke as in, tops that are tanks]] (a shot of the Mads opening fire was used in the opening credits throughout the Joel/Frank years). |
| 59 | -->'''Dr. Forrester:''' "Shelling on the beach" takes on a whole new meaning! |
| 60 | * The episode gets a lot of mileage out of the fact that the cast is nearly all-white, with such jokes as "It's the [[UsefulNotes/TheApartheidEra keep Mandela in prison]] dance!". |
| 61 | ** And right at the beginning, Tom Servo kicks it off with "Oh, these [[UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan klan]] meetings have really lightened up!" |
| 62 | * When the camera [[MaleGaze spends a little too much time on one of the dancing girls]] during the "Scuba Party" number. |
| 63 | -->'''Crow:''' Well, there's... uh, nothing we can say about that, is there?\ |
| 64 | '''Servo:''' At least not during family hour. |
| 65 | * Tom Servo pines for a creepy girl with a nondescript foreign accent from this movie, so much so that he sings about her in a '50s-type song: |
| 66 | -->♫ Lyle Waggoner's a total jerk, second only to Tommy Kirk... ♫ |
| 67 | ** It gets especially funny when Tom spells out her name: |
| 68 | --->Oh, C is for the uncertainty of not quite knowing what ethnic group you're from. R is for the gifts you give me every time you smile. The first E is for, uh... well, I don't really know, but the second E is really a grammatical thing, otherwise it would be "Crepy Girl," and where would that leave us? The P is definitely not for "platonic", and Y? Because I love you, my creepy girl! |
| 69 | ** He then tries to figure out her accent: |
| 70 | --->Oh, what are you, creepy girl? Are you French, Italian, or one of those swarthy Gypsy types? Well, your accent suggests a Romance language, but I can't be sure. Well, we can definitely rule out a Germanic language, but it's okay! I'm a 'Bot without a country. |
| 71 | ** The fact that Tom calls her... this woman he's in love with... ''Creepy Girl'' and he says it as if it were her given name. |
| 72 | --->...I just met a girl named Creepy Girl... |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [[AC:205: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E05RocketAttackUSA Rocket Attack USA]]]] |
| 75 | * Joel and the Bots imitating Gyorgy Ligeti's Requiem, better known as the {{Leitmotif}} of the Monolith from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', whenever a piece of blast barrier that resembles said object is on screen. In one scene, a Soviet guard ducks behind a barrier, and the riffers abruptly stop their imitation... and start it up again when the guard re-emerges. |
| 76 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp5mU7eesHM beautiful summary]] the guys give about the movie's "plot." |
| 77 | |
| 78 | [[AC:206: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E06RingOfTerror Ring Of Terror]] ]] |
| 79 | * Crow and Tom Servo pranking Joel with a fake movie sign after the intro. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | [[AC:208: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E08LostContinent Lost Continent]] ]] |
| 82 | * As the pilot intones "Dead end...dead end" into the radio: |
| 83 | -->'''Tom:''' [[Franchise/ThePinkPanther Dead-end, dead-end, dead-end, dead-end, de-]] Heh heh heh... Sorry. |
| 84 | * As one of the scientists 'struggles' to save another from plummeting to his death: |
| 85 | -->'''Crow:''' "You must die, my friend, to make the film more interesting." |
| 86 | * Joel and the Bots nearly break during the infamous rock climbing sequence: |
| 87 | -->'''Crow:''' Come ''on'', '''''God, why, why, why?!''''' ''(groans)''\ |
| 88 | '''Tom:''' This is-this is a madhouse, '''''a madhouse!''''' ''(groans)''\ |
| 89 | '''Joel:''' Ugh, I never knew ''mountain time'' was so ''slow''.\ |
| 90 | '''Tom:''' Please.\ |
| 91 | '''Lt. Danny Wilson:''' (''in the film'') Stay with me, baby.\ |
| 92 | '''Crow:''' Come on, "stay with me, baby", ''is that all you can say?!'' ''(begins crying)''\ |
| 93 | '''Tom:''' Kill them all, ''kill them, please, kill them!'' ''(also begins crying)''\ |
| 94 | '''Joel:''' (''as the bots cry'') Come on, hey you guys, calm down. Hey, it's only a movie, we can handle it. Okay?\ |
| 95 | '''Tom:''' Okay. I guess you're right.\ |
| 96 | ''(short beat of silence)''\ |
| 97 | '''Joel:''' ''Who'' '''''are''''' ''you'', ''where'' '''''are''''' ''we''? Can we get a ''frame of reference'' or ''something'', '''''PLEASE?!'''''\ |
| 98 | '''Tom:''' Joel, Joel, Joel, come on.\ |
| 99 | '''Joel:''' Oh.\ |
| 100 | '''Tom:''' It's okay.\ |
| 101 | ''(Joel exhales)''\ |
| 102 | '''Tom: '''It's only...''rock climbing''.\ |
| 103 | '''Crow:''' Would someone ''please'' tell the director about ''compressing time through editing?!'' |
| 104 | |
| 105 | [[AC:210: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E10KingDinosaur King Dinosaur]] ]] |
| 106 | * From the short: "When did you start having these feeling that you were a Commissioner?" |
| 107 | * Also from the short, Crow condenses the message to an easy wartime slogan: |
| 108 | -->'''Crow:''' "If you kill yourselves here we can't kill them over there." |
| 109 | |
| 110 | [[AC:211: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E11FirstSpaceshipOnVenus First Spaceship on Venus]] ]] |
| 111 | * This riff: |
| 112 | -->'''Joel, Tom, Crow:''' We Are Scientists! Get Out Of Our Way! |
| 113 | * While exploring the surface of Venus: |
| 114 | -->'''Scientist:''' (to robot) How long can we stay here, Omigow?\ |
| 115 | '''Servo:''' ABOUT... THREE... MINUTES... AGO. |
| 116 | * The ParodyCommercial for [[https://youtu.be/gTgOyHQg5a4 Klack Foods]] features a variety of [[CordonBleughChef absolutely disgusting dishes]], many of which are garnished with circus peanuts for some reason. |
| 117 | * The ending skit, where Tom Servo's sarcasm sequencer goes haywire, and he gets so overwhelmingly sarcastic [[YourHeadASplode his head explodes]]. |
| 118 | |
| 119 | [[AC:212: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E12GodzillaVsMegalon Godzilla vs. Megalon]] ]] |
| 120 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cxV8Bf8ND4 Jet Jaguar]] [[GagSub Theme Song.]][[note]] For the curious, a rough translation of the lyrics: "You're a robot made by humans / But, Jet Jaguar, Jet Jaguar / You did it, Jet Jaguar / Go, go to protect peace / We are all surprised that the courage you show / Godzilla and Jet Jaguar punch, punch, punch! / (Punch, punch, punch!) / Don't cry / Let's do our best!"[[/note]] |
| 121 | -->[[AC:He jock it made of steel\ |
| 122 | Eats sushi from a pail\ |
| 123 | Jet Jaguar? Jet Jaguar!\ |
| 124 | He mother never really love him\ |
| 125 | He crimefighting covers up a basic insecurity\ |
| 126 | He dickey covers up an Adams apple the size of a Toyota\ |
| 127 | He basically good-hearted but he'd like to smash that kid against a rock\ |
| 128 | (Knock! Knock! Knock!)\ |
| 129 | Who's there?\ |
| 130 | His head looks like Jack Nicholson\ |
| 131 | Don't smile like that, it will stay that way\ |
| 132 | Yahmmmahhoaahoaaaugh!]]\ |
| 133 | ''(after singing finishes)'' [[AC:Don't touch my bags if you please, Mr. Customs Man.]][[note]]A reference to Arlo Guthrie's "Coming Into Los Angeles"[[/note]] |
| 134 | * After seemingly endless cuts of Godzilla swimming through the ocean, he finally arrives at the battle. |
| 135 | -->'''Crow''': Well, it's about time, Mr. Mark Spitz, have a nice swim? [[note]]For those who don't know, Spitz won 7 gold medals at the 1972 Munich Olympics, all in world record time.[[/note]] |
| 136 | * The final fight between Godzilla and Jet Jaguar vs Megalon and Gigan, treated like a tag team ProfessionalWrestling match: |
| 137 | -->'''Tom''': So what will Godzilla bring to this fight?\ |
| 138 | '''Joel''': He'll bring the legend that is Godzilla!\ |
| 139 | '''Crow''': Yep, he's the policeman: I don't always agree with his methods, but I respect him. |
| 140 | --->''(Later, when Godzilla uproots a tree and starts clubbing Megalon with it:)'' |
| 141 | -->'''Crow''': He's got a tree! ''He's got a tree!!'' This is ''not'' the Godzilla we know; he's fighting dirty!\ |
| 142 | '''Servo''' ''(as Jet Jaguar)'': A tree? That is not like you.\ |
| 143 | '''Joel''' ''(as Godzilla, as he tosses the tree aside)'': You're right, it isn't even the right club for this hole. Now let's win it ''our'' way! |
| 144 | --->''(Later)'' |
| 145 | -->'''Joel''': This is what it all boils down to, a little game of life that we call "character".\ |
| 146 | '''Crow''': Yeah, even if Godzilla doesn't win this fight he's still aces in my book! |
| 147 | * The guys breaking into hysterical laughter at Godzilla's "tail slide." |
| 148 | * "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4eR-uZTJZ8 Dysfunctional Popcorn]]". |
| 149 | * When Megalon blasts a ship: |
| 150 | -->'''Crow:''' "Destroy Series/TheLoveBoat. Kill Gavin [=MacCleod=]." |
| 151 | |
| 152 | [[AC:213: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E13GodzillaVsTheSeaMonster Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster]] ]] |
| 153 | * Joel and the bots enter the theater after the title is shown and spend the rest of the movie wondering what it’s called. |

| 156 | [[folder:Season 3]] |
| 157 | [[AC:301: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E01CaveDwellers Cave Dwellers]] ]] |
| 158 | * The "flashbacks" which are a montage of the prequel to the movie. |
| 159 | -->'''Crow''': Geez, Tolkien couldn't follow this plot! |
| 160 | * The redoing of the opening credits skit, especially the really ''[[TheLongList really]]'' huge numbers of things that were apparently the property of Gizmonic Institute. |
| 161 | * During the village scene... |
| 162 | -->'''Ator:''' [Ravani] was a proud, courageous man...\ |
| 163 | '''Tom:''' ''(as Ator)'' ...but dumber than a bag of hammers. |
| 164 | * Practically the entire episode can count, really. Other highlights include "The second most important thing -- is Peanut Butter!", Ator flies, "Urgh, I'm grinding the basil and adding some Romano cheese" and plenty of others. |
| 165 | * The reactions to Ator's hang glider, summed up with Tom's perfectly delivered "This is a ''little'' ridiculous." |
| 166 | * The SpecialEffectsFailure when Ator starts bombing the castle: |
| 167 | -->'''Servo:''' He hit Charlie [=McCarthy=]! |
| 168 | * When the Mads check with the crew to see their after-movie reaction, all Joel, Tom and Crow can do is shake their heads disapprovingly and ''growl.'' Once they regain the power of speech, they rip into the movie (in a manner similar to their summary of ''Rocket Attack USA'' in an earlier episode). |
| 169 | --> '''Crow:''' ...Okay, during the raping and pillaging, a prehistoric caveman is clearly seen wearing a pair of Ray-Bans! Who's that behind the Foster Grants? It's ''Ogg!''\ |
| 170 | '''Joel:''' Yeah, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint and what about]] [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Scarecrow's brain?]]\ |
| 171 | '''TV's Frank and Dr. Forrester:''' What do you want from us? [[CardCarryingVillain We're evil!]] '''[[CardCarryingVillain EVIL!]]''' |
| 172 | ** Joel's [[https://i.ibb.co/yPhmZvR/GIF-Frazzled-SOLites.gif initial appearance]] in this skit. [[https://youtu.be/ZKO6M8heGU0?t=1h33m58s The whole skit]] is a big CMOF. |

| 177 | [[AC:303: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E03PodPeople Pod People]] ]] |
| 178 | * "[[NonIndicativeName It has nothing to do with pods; it has nothing to do with people]]; it has everything to do with ''hurting.''" |
| 179 | * "Aw, [[Music/RandyNewman Pod People got no reason to live.]]" |
| 180 | * "Even the movie ''Film/TheFog'' didn't have this much fog." |
| 181 | * Crow's [[https://youtu.be/-dgSoYFz1U0?t=22s "Potato Soliloquy".]] |
| 182 | * The deadpan voice Crow did for Trumpy (inspired by Creator/JohnHurt in ''Film/TheElephantMan'')... and most of his lines! |
| 183 | -->'''Tommy:''' Now we can play!\ |
| 184 | '''Crow''' ''[as Trumpy]:'' Like hell. ''More food!'' |
| 185 | ** And this when Trumpy reveals his powers: |
| 186 | --->'''Tommy:''' Trumpy, you can do magic things!\ |
| 187 | '''Crow:''' It's called "evil", kid. |
| 188 | * "Trumpy, you can do ''stupid'' things!" |
| 189 | * The Mads' (completely justified) reaction to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMspcxr1Vi8 third host segment.]] |
| 190 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_zrBgzuNjs Idiot Control Now]]! Hideous control now! Ninny on the road now! Minnie in control, wheels on fire, burnin' rubber tires... |
| 191 | -->'''Dr. Forrester''': He's pretty good!\ |
| 192 | '''TV's Frank''': Good? He's the ''best''. |
| 193 | * That silly "I'M A VIRGIN" shirt! |
| 194 | * "Face it, kid. Trumpy never loved you." |
| 195 | |
| 196 | [[AC:304: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E04GameraVsBarugon Gamera Vs. Barugon]] ]] |
| 197 | * Crow and Tom Servo arguing about whether Mac or IBM is the superior operating system, in addition to Servo's [[EpicFail inability to work]] with the IBM clone. |
| 198 | -->'''Servo:''' This is rich! "Bad command or file name". They expect you to be a ''machine'' to operate this machine!\ |
| 199 | '''Crow:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I suppose you'd prefer a little animated clown who would juggle over to the little file cabinet, wink at you and point to the right drawer?]]\ |
| 200 | '''Servo:''' [[SnarkToSnarkCombat Yeah, sure! At least I don't have to have a photographic memory to get my Mac to work!]] |
| 201 | ** Then Crow mentions [[BerserkButton System 7]]: |
| 202 | --->'''Servo:''' '''IT'S COMING! IT'S COMING! OKAY? THERE WERE A FEW BUGS IN IT, OKAY!?''' |
| 203 | ** Then Joel, [[{{Troll}} just to stir things up more]], mentions he prefers Amiga. |
| 204 | * This brilliant GeniusBonus line: |
| 205 | -->'''Crow:''' Solipsism is its own reward. |
| 206 | |
| 207 | [[AC:307: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E07DaddyO Daddy-O]] ]] |
| 208 | * What happens when "the button" -- the one Frank presses to end the show -- [[https://youtu.be/aSV8hmj-qjs?t=3m16s gets broken?]] Here's a hint; it takes a full ''[[OverlyLongGag three minutes and nine seconds]]'' for the real credits to roll. Perhaps one of the funniest credit sequences ''in TV history''. |
| 209 | ** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLnHOQ2YZ58 Pants Up Song.]] '''ALL OF IT.''' |
| 210 | |

| 215 | * Tom's increasingly dark accompaniments to the theme music, culminating in: |
| 216 | --> '''Tom:''' Now watch the kids go to their fates/they'll disappear into the woods/it will be days before they're found/Cornjob will be blamed. |
| 217 | |
| 218 | [[AC:313: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E13EarthVsTheSpider Earth vs. the Spider]] ]] |
| 219 | * During ''Speech: Using Your Voice'': |
| 220 | ** The guy delivering his Carl Spackler-esque testimony about the chair is unintentionally funny in its own right. They we cut back to the presenter: |
| 221 | --->'''Crow:''' ''(as presenter)'' Don't worry, we've had him put down. |
| 222 | ** A bit later: |
| 223 | --->'''Presenter:''' Or is your carelessness the same as that of a man who runs his words together, mumbles, drops his G's...\ |
| 224 | '''Crow:''' ...drops his pants and robs convenience stores... |
| 225 | ** Also during the short: |
| 226 | --->'''Presenter:''' Remember the three basic aims of public speaking...\ |
| 227 | '''Tom:''' Lie, lie, and lie.\ |
| 228 | '''Crow:''' And check your zipper. |
| 229 | * Tom Servo's rendition of "[[Film/EarthVsTheSpider The Spider March]]": |
| 230 | --> '''Tom:''' "SPIIIIDER! SPIIIIIDER! SPIIIIDER! SPIIIIDER!" |
| 231 | * The cave search scene: |
| 232 | -->'''Mr. Kingman:''' Mike! Carol! We hear you!\ |
| 233 | '''Tom:''' But we don't care! |
| 234 | * The characters discuss the possibility of getting help: |
| 235 | -->'''Sheriff:''' How long will it take you to get to Springdale on [the motorcycle]? |
| 236 | -->'''Deputy:''' Maybe an hour, maybe less. |
| 237 | -->'''Crow:''' Longer if I die. |
| 238 | |
| 239 | [[AC:314: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E14MightyJack Mighty Jack]] ]] |
| 240 | * The opening host segment features Joel and the Bots staging a disaster on the Satellite of Love, which includes Joel pretending to be dead and the trio being [[CoveredInGunge pelted with loads of shaving cream and silly string]]. |
| 241 | --> '''Crow:''' Wait a minute -- I'm BLIND! ''I'M BLIND! THAT THING CUT ME!'' |
| 242 | |
| 243 | [[AC:315: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E15TeenageCaveman Teenage Caveman]] ]] |
| 244 | * The short [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfKxTu4PLWI "Catching]] [[Film/CatchingTrouble Trouble,"]] wherein Joel and the Bots take one of the most uncomfortable cases of ValuesDissonance you will ever see and turn it into a triumphant example of [[CrossesTheLineTwice Crossing The Line Twice]]. |
| 245 | * The "Catching Ross" skit afterwards was funny as it was awesome. The best part was the high pitched voice Joel used on the Ross doll [[CatharsisFactor as he torments it.]] |
| 246 | --> "Not the giant rattler! Please! Please, not the giant rattler! I can't do that! He hates me! We went to camp together!" |
| 247 | |
| 248 | [[AC:316: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E16GameraVsZigra Gamera vs. Zigra]] ]] |

| 250 | |
| 251 | [[AC:317: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E17VikingWomenAndTheSeaSerpent Viking Women and the Sea Serpent]] ]] |
| 252 | * The short ''The Home Economics Story'' features one of the series' outstanding riffs: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6lyued1qHw "Look look! Look at my crotch! Look look! Look at my crotch! Look at my crotch! LOOOOOOK at my crotch!"]] It gleefully CrossesTheLineTwice and is pure hilarity. |
| 253 | ** From the beginning of the short: |
| 254 | --->'''Narrator:''' This [assembly] was for the girls only.\ |
| 255 | '''Joel and the bots:''' ''[[TheTalk Ohhh.]]''\ |
| 256 | '''Assembly speaker:''' Today I'd like to tell you about several girls I know very well.\ |
| 257 | '''Servo:''' And why I'm being fired. |
| 258 | |
| 259 | * The Mads' invention exchange is a device to bring meat back to life, which they use on a frozen chicken. After Joel and the Bots get done with their invention, we cut back to Deep 13, where Frank and the chicken are now fighting with knives. |
| 260 | -->'''Frank''': Dear god, WhatHaveIDone!? |
| 261 | |
| 262 | [[AC:318: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E18StarForceFugitiveAlienII Fugitive Alien II]] ]] |
| 263 | * This exchange: |

| 299 | ** Followed by: |
| 300 | --->'''Santa''': ...but the kids know their names! |
| 301 | --->'''Crow''': Because they're sober. |

| 303 | -->"Paper towel rolls are on the patio table, over!" |
| 304 | * Crow's attempt at a new holiday classic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZyJCV_dyug "A Patrick Swayze Christmas"]]. |
| 305 | ** And, twenty years later, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq8WhYTRbC8 they enhanced it.]] |
| 306 | ** There's a much subtler gag for music theory geeks at the start of the sketch: for some reason, Crow wrote the song in '''[[UncommonTime 12/8]]''' at 210 bpm, [[ComplexityAddiction even though nothing in the song takes advantage of it and it could have just as easily been written in 4/4 at 71 bpm]]. |
| 307 | * "IT'S SANTA BEAR!" |
| 308 | ** Servo in particular is great during this scene. He only says a couple things, but you can hear in Kevin Murphy's voice how much he's trying not to just crack up. |

And as I look down on the big blue bean we would call home, I think it so near, yet... oh, I wish on that star, and I hope that in a little snow-covered house with a warm hearth and a loving family, maybe some kid is looking up tonight and wishing upon us. Oh, and how I hope sweet Santa will fly by tonight, because if he does I'm gonna reach right out and hug that big guy. Oh, for the sound of hooves against the steel hull of the ship. Oh, to see the rosy face of Santa in the portal offering me a Coke and a smile... of course, his face ''would'' be rosy, because it's a ''vacuum'' out there. I mean, Santa's heart would explode! But he wouldn't feel it because the capillaries in his brain would pop like little firecrackers due to the blood ''boiling away in his face like a pudding in a copper! Oh, the humanity!'' And his jolly old belly would start bubbling like a roasted marshmallow, eyes bulging and popping out...''And the reindeer -- oh, the REINDEER! -- keep floating like holiday floats and in turn '''exploding in a hail of blood and entrails! Prancer: BOOM! Dancer: BOOM!'''''" |
| 313 | ** Preceding that, in the same skit, Crow's entry, also hilarious.... |
| 314 | --->'''Crow:''' Sorry, I was...all right...uh, okay... 'A Christmas Editorial' by Crow T. Robot...uh, I know, I already said that...okay...What's the big deal with Santa's elves anyway?

Um...These are the kind of toys grandma drags out at Christmas to decorate the house...which smells like her feet no matter how much 'Essence of Yuletide' light bulb ring oil she uses...but I digress...um...uh uh...No, these are the real misfit toys. They end up in Marshall Field's window displays and F.A.O. Schwartz catalogs or overpriced little gift shops in Vermont and Door County, Wisconsin. My message is for the elves: ''GEN-TLE-MEN!'' WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Why don't we ever see you in front of a circuit board loading microchips into a Sega-Vision with your little wooden hammers? Elf labor short? The good people at Macao are eager to take your prototypes and turn them into a hundred thousand knockoffs! Elves and Santa: Take an example from the Keeblers, now there's some fairies who know how to market! In closing, uh...step out of the legend days, fellas, and join the century of the Pacific. Oh, and Merry Christmas. The End. |

It then goes off the rails when Gypsy sings that she would rather date ''Stacy Koon'' [[note]]One of the LAPD officers [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacey_Koon involved in the]] Rodney King beating[[/note]] and Crow suddenly busts out with a BawdySong and Joel immediately ends the whole thing. |

They find him so annoying that they send him to Deep 13, where he annoys Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank throughout the credits. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for the [=SoL=] crew. |

| 483 | '''Forrester:''' ''[Laughs maniacally]'' |
| 484 | ** [[OhCrap "CIRCUS?!]] ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck ON ICE?!"]]'' |
| 485 | * The episode starts on a high note with the Invention Exchange, which has an action figure theme. Dr. Forrester declares that if Joel's invention is judged superior, the [=SoL=] crew will get to watch ''Film/LocalHero'', but if the Mads' invention is declared superior, they will have to suffer through ''Film/MonsterAGoGo''. Frank is appointed judge and, naturally, makes no pretense of being impartial. The Mads' invention is nevertheless a classic - Johnny Longtorso, the action figure who is himself sold separately. |

| 491 | ** The best part? Joel off-handedly informing the bots that the title character in another Rupert Holmes-penned song, "Timothy" ([[ImAHumanitarian who is eaten by his fellow trapped miners while they await rescue]]), was in fact a duck. This causes Crow and Servo to ''immediately'' drop everything and analyze the song line by line. |

| 499 | * This: |
| 500 | -->'''Dr. Eric Vornoff''': I am not coming home.\ |
| 501 | '''Crow (as Vornoff)''': Not till Mommy says she's sorry. |
| 502 | * ''Hired! The Musical''. It's as funny as it is crazy. A particular crowner is every time Gypsy echoes a line, [[https://i.ibb.co/RDWSBmg/Screenshot-2021-06-05-101056.png Joel looks up in the background]] with the ultimate WTF expression (It happens during Servo's slow, bluesy "Zero" bit.). |
| 503 | * The LowCountGag at the climax of the movie, when the police captain and a couple of officers approach Vornow's house: |
| 504 | -->'''Captain:''' You men, surround the house.\ |
| 505 | '''Crow:''' All two of you! |

| 508 | * The episode gets off to a flying start with the Invention Exchange: |
| 509 | ** The Mads have a guillotine to chop the heads off chocolate Easter bunnies with a minimum of mess. |
| 510 | --->'''Dr. Forrester:''' ''(reading execution order)'' "You have stolen painted eggs in a time of famine." Ah, off with their head, Frank. |
| 511 | ** And on the Joel side of the Exchange, the Cartuner, which merges comic strips together to make new ones. |
| 512 | --->'''Joel, Tom, Crow:''' ComicStrip/{{Ziggy}} had ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} ''neutered?'' Now ''that's'' funny! |
| 513 | * "And there goes Torgo, he's rounding the Master, heading for the straightaway and there he goes!" |
| 514 | * After a particularly long scene where the actors are all standing around, not saying anything to each other: |
| 515 | -->'''Joel:'''...WILL SOMEONE BREAK THE ICE, PLEASE? |
| 516 | * "The damn car won't start." "Yeah, that's a real [[PrecisionFStrike bitch]], Daddy." |
| 517 | * Michael orders Torgo to put their bags back in the car: |

| 519 | '''Joel:''' ''[as Torgo, sarcastically]'' Yeah, here I go. Vroom. |
| 520 | * "Oh look dear, Torgo has a little altar to Ba'al." |
| 521 | * As Torgo [[LeaveTheCameraRunning takes]] ''[[LeaveTheCameraRunning nearly a whole minute]]'' [[LeaveTheCameraRunning to stand up and say one line]]: |
| 522 | -->'''Joel:''' ''DO'' SOMETHING!! God! |

| 526 | [[AC:501: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E01WarriorOfTheLostWorld Warrior of the Lost World]] ]] |
| 527 | * 'The Paper Chase Guy' (the main character) has an [[TheScrappy extremely annoying sidekick]] in the form of a talking computer built into his motorcycle. When they confront the villains' battle-modified dump truck, code-named 'Megaweapon,' the moto-robo-sidekick becomes a SacrificialLion. To great rejoicing. |
| 528 | --> '''Tom''' ''(as the motorcycle is being ground under Megaweapon's wheels):'' [[RootingForTheEmpire Go, Megaweapon, go!]]\ |
| 529 | '''Crow:''' Make it ''slow!'' Yesssss...\ |
| 530 | '''Joel:''' Our long national nightmare is over!\ |
| 531 | '''Tom:''' I can't tell you how richly satisfying this is. |
| 532 | * In their post-film review, the 'bots are expressing their disdain for the movie. Then Joel reminds them of the one thing they ''did'' appreciate: Megaweapon! Tom and Crow burst into geeky fanboy gushing: |
| 533 | --> '''Crow:''' I'm definitely going to name my first child 'Megaweapon'. |
| 534 | |
| 535 | [[AC:503: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E03SwampDiamonds Swamp Diamonds]] ]] |
| 536 | * The Mad's Invention Exchange this episode has the U-View, a picture-in-picture TV that shows what you'd be doing if you weren't watching TV. Joel and the Bots, on the other hand, have the Creator/AndrewLloydWebber Grill, which [[TakeThat incinerates any of Lloyd Webber's "overblown scores"]] in seconds. They even take the time to roast the scores to ''Theatre/{{Chess}}'' and ''Theatre/{{Annie}}'', even though Webber didn't write those. |
| 537 | |
| 538 | [[AC:504: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E04SecretAgentSuperDragon Secret Agent Super Dragon]] ]] |
| 539 | * As Super Dragon pounces on a thug in the docks, xylophone music plays. |
| 540 | -->'''Crow''': Hooray, I'm Super Clown! |
| 541 | |
| 542 | [[AC:505: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E05TheMagicVoyageOfSinbad The Magic Voyage of Sinbad]] ]] |
| 543 | * All of the Bots reactions to Joel's channel cat puppet are comedy gold. Crow thinks the Channel Cat is a Creator/JimHenson-esque complex animatronic at first, instead of just... a HandPuppet. Meanwhile, Servo thinks it's a digital projection, and they freak out over it in end, all while [[TheCutie Gypsy's]] the only bot who actually LOVES it, enough so that no only does she play along with it, but also gets [[CharacterCheck tempted to eat it]], TWICE. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xfHERb4QDs Witness the hilarity.]] |
| 544 | |
| 545 | [[AC:506: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E06Eegah Eegah!]] ]] |
| 546 | * The episode hits the ground running with the opening sketch in which Tom and Crow are trying to get Crow's temperature down to absolute zero. |
| 547 | -->'''Joel:''' Hi everybody, welcome to the Satellite of Love, I'm Joel R- hey, wait a minute, what's with the Crow-in-the-box?\ |
| 548 | '''Tom:''' Oh, we're bringing his temperature down to absolute zero! Seems like it might be kinda fun.\ |
| 549 | '''Joel:''' ''(feels outside of box, then puts on industrial glove and hurries around the table to the box)'' Wait a minute, you can't do that, if you go to absolute zero there'll be no molecular motion, it'll start a chain reaction and kill us all!\ |
| 550 | '''Tom:''' Yeah, that's kinda how it played out in our scenario- ''(realisation dawns)'' well, wait a minute, that's kind of ''stupid'', isn't it!?\ |
| 551 | '''Joel:''' Yeah, it's stupid, we gotta get him outta there! ''(reaches into box... only for Crow to fall apart as soon as Joel touches him)''\ |
| 552 | '''Tom:''' Oh, ''good one'', Joel!\ |
| 553 | '''Joel:''' Oops. Uh, we'll be right back, I...\ |
| 554 | '''Tom:''' I'm not puttin' him back together, either! ''(leaves)''\ |
| 555 | '''Crow:''' I'm shattered!\ |
| 556 | ''(after the break, Crow is sloppily put together with clamps, clothes pegs and glue)''\ |
| 557 | '''Joel:''' Okay, there ya go, good as new.\ |
| 558 | '''Crow:''' Sure! If you ignore the massive structural damage and my complete lack of any re- resale value...\ |
| 559 | '''Joel:''' Yeah, I was ignoring that.\ |
| 560 | ''(Tom enters, his dome filled with doll heads)''\ |
| 561 | '''Tom:''' ''(dazed, speech slurred)'' Oh hi! Say, would you guys hurry up with that glue? It's really starting to affect me... ''(faints)'' |
| 562 | * The hilarity continues through the Invention Exchange, in which Joel has invented the Porkarina to imitate the incidental music on ''Series/TheBeverlyHillbillies'', ''Series/GreenAcres'', and ''Series/PetticoatJunction'', while Dr. Forrester drains all of Frank's blood, replaces it with antifreeze, and installs a radiator in his chest... ForScience! |
| 563 | -->'''Dr. Forrester:''' That's why I've drained Frank's blood...\ |
| 564 | '''Joel, Tom, Crow ''and'' Porkarina:''' [[BigWhat You WHAT?!]] [[YoureInsane You can't do that!]] |
| 565 | * [[RunningGag "Watch out for snakes."]] |
| 566 | * Right out of the gate with Arch Hall, Jr.'s (yeah, the character has a name, but come on) first appearance: |
| 567 | -->'''Arch''': Hey, Roxy!\ |
| 568 | '''Joel''' (as Arch): Sorry about my face! |
| 569 | * Joel and the 'bots mock Arch's shrill voice as he calls out Roxy's name while searching for her after she is kidnapped by Eegah. Later on, as he searches silently, [[RunningGag they continue to imitate his calling out for her in a mock-tired voice]], as if to simulate how tiring it is. |
| 570 | ** When the three of them make fun of Arch's singing by howling like wolves at the end of his "Vicky" song and pretending that Eegah is going to bash his head to make him stop when Arch is singing in the desert. |
| 571 | *** The very start of that musical number; Arch's character is laying down with the guitar as the InvisibleBackupBand starts playing Arch Hall Jr's "Valerie"... |
| 572 | ---->'''Tom Servo:''' "(very low tone) No, Arch, no...no..." |
| 573 | * When Arch Hall Jr's band starts playing low-energy SurfRock, Joel and the bots start going "tequila" in the most FlatJoy voices imaginable. |
| 574 | |
| 575 | [[AC:507: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E07IAccuseMyParents I Accuse My Parents]] ]] |
| 576 | * The show often made fun of the social attitudes at the times that the film du jour was made, but never with more shocking directness than during ''Film/IAccuseMyParents'', when the protagonist skates on a manslaughter charge just because he had drunk parents: "Wow. Thank God I'm ''white!''" |
| 577 | * The clearing-the-land sequence from ''The Truck Farmer'' short. "Early tractor pulls, not that much fun... this is the freestyle competition!" "Aaaugh, it's ''Film/{{Killdozer}}''! Clint Walker, no!" |
| 578 | ** Also: "[[Anime/SpeedRacer Go Speed Farmer, go Speed Farmer, go Speed Farmer goooooo]]!" |
| 579 | * The Invention Exchange from this episode features the Mads' [[JumpingOutOfACake Cake-an]][[ImAHumanitarian d-Shake]]. Frank's idea to fold the exotic dancer into the cake ''before'' baking is rather ill-received by Dr. Forrester. |
| 580 | -->'''Crow:''' Oh, it's beefcake! |
| 581 | * When Jimmy decides on the spot to rob a restaurant: "Uh, c-...can I...can I rob you?" |
| 582 | * Quite a few of the jokes about Jimmy winning the essay contest are funny, but this one takes the cake, after Jimmy comes home after being beat up by a couple of mobsters: |
| 583 | -->'''Jimmy''': Mom! Dad!\ |
| 584 | '''Joel''': I won the Get-The-Crap-Kicked-Out-Of-You Contest! |
| 585 | * The series of embellishments Joel and the Bots tack on after Jimmy says he's just doing the shoe boy gig till his dad buys the place. |
| 586 | * "If I had parents, I'd accuse them right now." |
| 587 | ** "I accuse her '''hair'''." |
| 588 | * To represent Jimmy's subconscious mind, they bring out an elaborate balancing mobile full of words and ideas spinning around. It's simple, yet sublimely hilarious. |
| 589 | ** "Hey, there's 'stupid.' Really big!" |
| 590 | * When Tom and Crow try to get Joel to give them a hamburger, by pointing a tank at him! |
| 591 | * "Eleanor Roosevelt is pissed!" |
| 592 | * Kitty: "And this is Aunt Harriet." Crow: "'Nuff said." |
| 593 | * (after Jimmy finishes his story to the judge) "Seeing as it's your birthday, you're free to go." |
| 594 | |
| 595 | [[AC:508: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E08OperationDouble007 Operation Double-007]] ]] |
| 596 | * The RunningGag of people wanting [[Creator/SeanConnery Neil Connery's brother's]] autograph. |
| 597 | * "The Sean and Neil Show: Parallel Lives" segment, comparing the Connery brothers' lives and showing Sean making a respectable and steady acting career for himself while Neil's (fictitious) life of low-wage jobs and questionable hygiene steadily declines -- until Sean did ''Film/HighlanderIITheQuickening'' and, for a moment, Neil was on top. |
| 598 | -->'''Crow:''' And no what matter what goes wrong with his life, Neil can always look in the mirror and say to himself, "Well, [[TakeThat at least I didn't do]] ''Film/{{Zardoz}}''." |
| 599 | * This bit from when Beta tells Thanatos about his plan: |
| 600 | -->'''Beta:''' All metals will be instantly affected.\ |
| 601 | '''Crow:''' [[Film/DrStrangelove Animals vill be bred and SLAUGHTERED!]] |
| 602 | * The villains employ some {{Technobabble}}. (Considering the parodic nature of the movie, the writers probably knew exactly what they were doing.) |
| 603 | -->'''Beta:''' Alternate vibrators!\ |
| 604 | '''Technician:''' Alternate vibrators inserted.\ |
| 605 | '''Riffers:''' ''Heeeyyy!''\ |
| 606 | '''Crow:''' You can't say that! |
| 607 | * Joel and the Bots' boredom during the [[{{Padding}} long, long scene]] where the fake nun sets up a zipline to kidnap Yashuko from the hospital. |
| 608 | -->'''Joel:''' Boy, I'd kill for a JumpCut right about now.\ |
| 609 | '''Joel:''' Is this a documentary on how to do this, whatever it is? |
| 610 | * The reactions to the BigLippedAlligatorMoment where a pack of women take out some guards while dressed as showgirls from a Western burlesque... then change into cat/skunk costumes and redecorate a truck like a casino showcase float. |
| 611 | -->'''Crow''': Am I tripping, Joel? |
| 612 | ** They girls leave to a loud bright jazz music cue... and GilliganCut to a table of sinister men. |
| 613 | --->'''Tom:''' ''(as Thanatos head)'' The ''hell'' was THAT? |
| 614 | * When Neil hits on a woman: |
| 615 | -->'''Crow!Commander:''' Just remember, your name is ''Neil'' Connery. [[MomentKiller Now get on the plane!]] |
| 616 | * As Neil tries to read Beta's lips through a window: |
| 617 | -->'''Tom:''' "Night Germany yellow frog"? "Bozo the piano chive"? I used to be ''good'' at this... |
| 618 | * The WithLyrics bit with the "OK Connery" [[https://youtu.be/14Mfmn7vN4g?t=8m theme song]] in the opening credits! Joel and the bots add their own silly lyrics to the lady singing. Here's one big highlight.... |
| 619 | -->'''Joel:''' "He likes to wear mittens!"\ |
| 620 | '''Crow:''' "He's got a deviated septum!"\ |
| 621 | '''Tom:''' "He's a real big faaaaan of Delllllta Buuuurrrke!"\ |
| 622 | '''Joel:''' "He gets his hair cut on Tuesdays!"\ |
| 623 | '''Crow:''' "He prefers stuffing to potatoes!"\ |
| 624 | '''Servo:''' "His favorite movie is ''[[Film/TurnerAndHooch Turner and Hooooooooooch!]]'' Hey!" |
| 625 | ** Crow feels bad for the guy the song is hyping up because at this point he can't possibly live up to its expectations. |
| 626 | --->'''Crow:''' It's probably just an accountant named Wallace. |
| 627 | * Joel briefly goes insane and begins acting like the film's DiabolicalMastermind, forcing the bots into sexy costumes and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfz77IHwiU4 strutting around to the tune of a ludicrously catchy jazz tune]]. His response to any objection: a smug "I know". |
| 628 | * Joel notices an agent who is dressed in a tuxedo (due to him being summoned urgently just as he was about to get married): ''"You gonna marry me or what?!"'' |
| 629 | * After the movie, Dr. Forrester is inspired to haul his own magnetizer out of storage and glues the bots to the wall with it. |
| 630 | |
| 631 | [[AC:509 [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E09TheGirlInLoversLane The Girl in Lovers Lane]] ]] |
| 632 | * Joel and the Bots give the opening credits [[WithLyrics theme song]] [[https://mst3k.fandom.com/wiki/Girl_in_Lovers_Lane_Theme lyrics]]. |
| 633 | * During a head-on shot of an approaching train: |
| 634 | -->'''Crow:''' Um... uh, Camera Three, get off the track... Camera Three -- oh ''DEAR GOD!!'' |
| 635 | * The crew "mishearing" Bix Dugan as "Big Stupid", and sticking with it. |
| 636 | * Crow's [[https://i.ibb.co/NFRDyKm/Crowelam.jpg impression]] of Jack Elam's character during a host segment... complete with the googly eyes. |
| 637 | -->'''Crow:''' Ugh! [[HulkSpeak I'm Jack Elam]]. Ugghhhh!... |
| 638 | * Crow & Servo's new revised ending for the film... which starts with "Big Stupid's" love interest surviving... then turning into a bunch of unrelated random weirdness involving dinosaurs and pygmies. Frank joins in and declares Bix Dugan is "Pure Energy". |
| 639 | |
| 640 | [[AC:510: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E10ThePaintedHills The Painted Hills]] ]] |
| 641 | * Crow's poorly researched report on UsefulNotes/RutherfordBHayes. |
| 642 | |
| 643 | [[AC:511: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E11Gunslinger Gunslinger]] ]] |
| 644 | * The opening scene has a woman walking down a town street and entering a building with a pair of men on horseback obviously waiting around the corner for their cue. |
| 645 | -->'''Joel''': Ah, cue the horses.\ |
| 646 | '''Crow''': ''[snickering]'' Corman...! |
| 647 | * Early in the film, Erika comes to see Cain in his room, but thanks to a bad case of SpecialEffectsFailure, the door opens ''outward'', leading Crow to sputter out: |
| 648 | -->'''Crow''': Hey, doors don't open like that... there's a number... ''he's in the hall!'' |
| 649 | ** The other scenes that focus on Cain's room would end up either having the women asking why his stuff is in the hall or Cain musing why the girls are in his room when they leave. |
| 650 | -->'''Crow:''' ''[after Erica tells Cain she'll see him in his room]]'' It's a hallway and don't you forget it!\ |
| 651 | '''Tom Servo:''' ''[after Rose asks why he's not drinking in his room]]'' It's a Hall! |
| 652 | * Near the end of the episode, Mayor Polk goes to confront Cain. He reaches back for his guns, which aren't there: |
| 653 | -->'''Joel''': ''[as Polk]'' Draw, er... wait a sec! |
| 654 | * This is followed by Polk approaching Cain with a pitchfork, the angling of the camera causing Crow and Tom to sing out part of the ''Series/GreenAcres'' theme! |
| 655 | -->'''Crow''': ''[as Polk approaches]'' Do-doo, do-do-doo, the chores!\ |
| 656 | '''Tom Servo''': Do-doo, do-do-doo, ''[switches to Cain]'' ...the hell? |
| 657 | * A few jokes at the very end suggest that the ''entire town'' died in the climactic shootout and the corpses are still just lying around. |
| 658 | -->'''Tom:''' Well, goodbye everybody!\ |
| 659 | '''Crow:''' ''[muffled]'' We're all dead!\ |
| 660 | '''Tom:''' Oh, that's right.\ |
| 661 | ''[later]''\ |
| 662 | '''Crow:''' Third body on the left.\ |
| 663 | ''[a few seconds later]''\ |
| 664 | '''Tom:''' Hey, lady, you forgot to tell me where the -- '''''Oh my God!! AAAAAUUGGHHHH!!''''' |
| 665 | |
| 666 | [[AC:512: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E12Mitchell Mitchell]] ]] |
| 667 | * During the opening credits: |
| 668 | -->'''Tom Servo''': ''Mittens''? An action film called ''Mittens''?\ |
| 669 | '''Crow''': [[ActorIsTheTitleCharacter Joe Don Baker]] '''IS''' [[ActorIsTheTitleCharacter Mittens!]] He's a cop!\ |
| 670 | '''Tom Servo''': {{Mithril}}? Oh, wait, it's ''Mitchell''.\ |
| 671 | '''Crow''': Oh, the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Beall_Mitchell Martha Mitchell]] story.\ |
| 672 | '''Tom Servo''': Joe Don Baker '''IS''' Martha Mitchell! |
| 673 | * Joel and the bots beat-boxing to the BowChickaWowWow music of the opening credits. |
| 674 | -->'''Tom:''' Any movie with the [[Music/FrankZappa waka-jawaka]] in it is okay by me. |
| 675 | * Whenever Joel and the bots also starts singing the movie theme shouting "Mitchell!". |
| 676 | * Tom Servo ''[[TheScream royally losing it]]'' [[https://youtu.be/vmNZwJTp9nM?t=57m40s in the scene where Mitchell parrots the little kid bugging him.]] |
| 677 | * Joel and the bots reaction to the [[{{Squick}} bottle of baby oil on Mitchell's nightstand]]. |
| 678 | -->'''Crow''': (to the ThematicThemeTune playing in the background) Oh my, my, my, my GOD!!! |
| 679 | * Gypsy thinks of everything she can to try and get Joel off the satellite. Eventually, she contacts Mike for help, who finds something oddly convenient in the SOL's manifests... |
| 680 | -->'''Mike:''' I assume you tried to gain control of the escape pod in Dock 14?\ |
| 681 | '''Gypsy:''' Yes, I tried to gain control... ''[[DelayedReaction THERE'S AN ESCAPE POD IN DOCK 14?!]]'' |
| 682 | ** What's even funnier is the escape pod is named The DeusExMachina. |
| 683 | |
| 684 | [[AC:513: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E13TheBrainThatWouldntDie The Brain That Wouldn't Die]] ]] |
| 685 | * One of Mike's first riffs: |
| 686 | -->'''as Darth Vader''': [[Creator/MarkHamill Luke]], join me or you'll star in ''Corvette Summer''. |
| 687 | * In one of the scenes showing the models smiling into the camera Tom Servo delivers an ''extremely'' goofy and nasally [[https://youtu.be/xo64fnJP1qw?t=58m2s "HIII!!"]]. |
| 688 | * The extremely greasy-sounding lounge music that accompanies much of the action comes in for its share of ribbing. |
| 689 | -->'''Tom:''' ''[raspy voice]'' Mornin'! It's a sleazy morning out there. You're listening to K-PORN, ''Holmes and Reems in the Morning'' -- sleazy, slutty music all morning long. Here's one from Skinny and the Sweat Babies.\ |
| 690 | '''Mike:''' ''[later]'' Stay tuned for the obscene phone call of the day, on K-PORN. |
| 691 | |
| 692 | [[AC:514: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E14TeenAgeStrangler Teen-Age Strangler]] ]] |
| 693 | * This exchange: |
| 694 | -->'''Mikey:''' Betty, I gotta talk to you! I just gotta!\ |
| 695 | '''Tom:''' ''(imitating Mikey's high-pitched nasal voice)'' I think I'm a hermaphrodite! |
| 696 | * The riffers' alternate lyrics to the "Yipe Stripes" song--notably [[DeliberateValuesDissonance "White flight" and "Sieg Heil."]] |
| 697 | |
| 698 | [[AC:515: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E15TheWildWildWorldOfBatwoman The Wild Wild World of Batwoman]] ]] |
| 699 | * Tom's freakout. "[[EndingFatigue END!]] '''[[SanitySlippage EEEEEEEEEEEEEND!]]'''" |
| 700 | * The entire ''Cheating'' short: |
| 701 | ** Miss Grandy haunting John as a disembodied visage: |
| 702 | --->'''Miss Grandy:''' "Did you really earn that grade, John?"\ |
| 703 | '''Servo:''' ''(as John)'' Oh, hi Miss Grandy -- '''''Ah, AAAAAAAAAAAGHHH! GET AWAY!!''''' |
| 704 | * Servo flipping out over [[ItMakesSenseInContext Crow's cheating]]. "BURN HIM! HE MUST BE DESTROYED! BURN HIM! BUUUUUUUURN HIIIIIM!" |
| 705 | ** Honestly, Tom is on fire throughout this entire episode. |
| 706 | * They note that the evil scientist disguised as a waiter has a...''specific'' kind of look: |
| 707 | -->'''Crow:''' Hey, Hitler! We want to order here! |
| 708 | * The entire, bizarre [[https://www.youtube.com/watc?v=x38AM_SxIz0 seance scene]] gets the treatment it deserves. |
| 709 | * Flanagan calls up Batwoman while completely drunk. |
| 710 | -->'''Mike''': Hey, look, it's the producer! |
| 711 | |
| 712 | [[AC:516: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E16AlienFromLA Alien from L.A.]] ]] |
| 713 | * Crow's squeaky Kathy Ireland impressions. |
| 714 | ** And, for that matter, Kathy Ireland's acting. |
| 715 | * The 'Name that Emotion' skit, in which Mike is supposed to guess the character's emotions based on still shots from the movie. Once he realizes that every shot shows DullSurprise, he racks up quite a high score. And, yes, this is the TropeNamer. |
| 716 | |
| 717 | [[AC:517: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E17BeginningOfTheEnd Beginning of the End]] ]] |
| 718 | * Mike and the 'Bots interrupting [[HeterosexualLifePartners the Mads']] "Us Day". Mike has to [[JawDrop close Crow's mouth for him]]. |
| 719 | * Servo's random impression of [[Radio/TheJackBennyProgram Frank Nelson]]. "EEE-yeeeeesss?" |
| 720 | * "We're not afraid of big ol' bugs / Army guys like gentle hugs!" |
| 721 | -->'''Wainwright:''' ''[very firmly and forcefully]'' [[YouHaveToBelieveMe "You know I'm not given to hysteria, and you've got to listen to me with an open mind!"]]\ |

| 723 | * Audrey is driving Graves and his assistant out to the disaster area (with Graves sitting next to her) |
| 724 | -->'''Mike:''' "Wait, this isn't a stick-shift... AAAGGHHH!" |
| 725 | * The final sketch of the episode has the Mads trying to assert their ''manliness'' after their early, erm, hobbies were discovered... By boxing and beating the crap out of each other. And as Dr. Forrester is about to push the button to end the episode Frank punches Dr. F in the back knocking him on the ground... and finishes by kicking him hard enough to sendhis spectacles flying. |
| 726 | |
| 727 | [[AC:518: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E18TheAtomicBrain The Atomic Brain]] ]] |
| 728 | * The Invention Exchange, with Crow and Tom imitating Dr. F and Frank, and vice-versa. The meta joke of Trace's two characters mocking each other is delicious. "I'm Dr. Clayton Forrester, and I've got [[CurseCutShort my head stuck up m--]]" |

| 732 | * The crew reading Jack Palance's diary while the movie was being filmed. In the last entry, [[{{MoodWhiplash}} Jack says he may have killed someone.]] |
| 733 | * As the closing credits of the movie roll, Mike says that the movie probably aired on the Creator/USANetwork[[note]]HilariousInHindsight, as the [[Creator/{{Syfy}} Sci-Fi Channel]] was USA's sister network[[/note]]. This leads to them making up various USA original movies, complete with cast. Six of them star Jeff Conaway. |
| 734 | -->'''Mike:''' They all seem to have titles like ''Malibu Death Breast''. |
| 735 | * In the first act, The Mads have pretended to build a time machine. Dr. Forrester stops in Caveman Times, while TV's Frank visits Ancient Rome. In the last part, they do various dances, starting with a waltz, then moving to the Charleston, a medley of '60s dances, and ending with the tango. Dr. Forrester accidentally drops Frank on the floor, then, trying to act like nothing has happened, pushes the button. |
| 736 | * The movie features quite possibly ''the'' most annoying sidekick in film history. Not five minutes in and the guys have had enough: |
| 737 | -->'''All:''' ''(chanting)'' "Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!" |
| 738 | * Any of the riffs on the absurd amounts of SayMyName are gold: |

| 829 | '''Crow:''' ''(as the grandpa deals with an extremely steep slope)'' Uh-oh, here comes the most challenging scene of this movie! |
| 830 | * The entire dance party sequence is tremendous fodder as well, especially the one spastic dancer the crew compares to Creator/JerryLewis. They all laugh at the DullSurprise reaction, "My God. What is it?" |
| 831 | -->'''Crow:''' Even the chemistry teacher is getting down! |
| 832 | * After the narrator announces that the monster next appeared in 'Lover's Lane,' we get yet another shot of the incredibly ponderous beast struggling up a hill: |
| 833 | -->'''Servo:''' "What's that say? 'Lover's Lane: Eight miles'?! AWWWW!" |

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkTcorIvp4U briefly causes Mike to]] [[{{Corpsing}} have a giggle fit]].

| 1091 | * The ludicrous translated voices given to the turtle aliens. "Howdy-doo!" |
| 1092 | ** When the turtle alien captain is (apparently) chewing out his underlings, one turns to the other: |
| 1093 | --> '''Mike:''' Well, did you?! |
| 1094 | * The main character finds a device left behind by the aliens and begins to slowly insert his arm into it. |
| 1095 | -->'''Servo''': Look, somebody threw away a perfectly good arm remover. |
| 1096 | * Servo's reaction to the main characters making out: |
| 1097 | -->'''Servo:''' Ugh, nature videos of big spiders going at it are more appealing. |
| 1098 | * When the turtle aliens find the wreckage of the car blew up to kill Eddie Deezen's character, one of them has to get the attention of the other while he's turned the other way fiddling with a waist-high {{Cow Tool|s}} -- which Tom Servo turns into a skit where the alien is trying to play "I'm Going Home" (by the band Ten Years After). |

| 1125 | * "But I've got a mantis in my pant-is!" |
| 1126 | * The opening segment has multiple sources of hilarity. The apes repairing the religious cult's "holy and everlasting Bomb", unaware all the while that they will be killed if it detonates (the heading "Bomb ''will'' detonate but people ''aren't'' dying" in the "Troubleshooting" section of the manual somehow does not tip them off); [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds Mike inadvertently helping them render the bomb operational (to the Bots' horror)]]; the Nanites building an entire control system in the [=SoL=] in a fraction of a second after tracking down a misplaced work order (when Mike asks why, if it could be built so quickly, they did not do the job weeks ago, the Nanite foreman scoffs, "Hey, I don't go to the ''john'' without a work order!") — the work order was misfiled under [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S07E03DeathstalkerAndTheWarriors "Relson"]]; and Mike dramatically pointing forward and declaring, "Engage," only for nothing to happen until Crow clears his throat and motions toward the throttle.

| 1130 | ** Every time he cuts the brain with his knife, or bites it, he hears someone screaming. When he realises what's causing the scream, he hastily sticks the brain back together using tape and runs off, only to then come back for the jar of mayonnaise. |

| 1179 | * During the scene where the Mads are playing with the Space Children, Bobo repeatedly gets [[GroinAttack a baseball in the nards]] trying to play catch with one of them. He eventually excuses himself with "Tante Bobo has to go see Uncle Reconstructive Urologist." |
| 1180 | * The riffing on the scene where Richard and Lena are cuddling by the remains of the campfire, and the smoke seems to be coming from Richard's crotch: "Only ''you'' can prevent groin fires!" "Groin fires" quickly become a running gag throughout the episode, and it was reportedly funny enough to dispell director Robert Fiveson's doubts about his movie being featured on [=MST3K=]. |

The bandits watch the cudgels fly away, and then look back down at Ivan, and we get, in a completely deadpan indignant voice, |

| 1211 | --> '''Mike:''' [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Frodo]] gets drunk and screws with his neighbors! |

| 1342 | '''Crow:''' Heh-heh-heh-heh. |

| 1344 | -->'''Mike:''' Did I just see someone walk in and paw my puppet? |
| 1345 | * Mike repeatedly catches Crow trying to sell his soul--not to the Devil, but to ''a'' devil (specifically, [[CallBack Pitch]]). |
| 1346 | * "Well, that scene's going nowhere; let's try a new one!" |
| 1347 | * While Marianne is delirious and struggling to fight off Vorelli's hypnosis, Mark and the doctor go in to see her. |

| 1375 | * And Tom's "Eat it movie!" song shortly thereafter, made even better when you know that Kevin Murphy really did hate the film because of the Hitler Building (as did the rest of the crew). |
| 1376 | -->'''Crow''': So, do either of you guys know any songs about stock footage that could get us through this? |
| 1377 | -->'''Tom''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, I know a song about stock footage.]] It goes like this: [[MinskyPickup Da-dah, da-dum dun dun,]] '''''EAT IT, MOVIE!!!'''

| 1403 | * "Stupid Buddhist monk! The Vietnam War has been over for hundreds of years!" |
| 1404 | * The scene where Servo installs way too many railings in the Satellite of Love. Then he adds some pits to justify the existence of all the railings, including [[IFellForHours a very deep pit]] that Mike falls into. |
| 1405 | ** Then when they get back to the theatre: |

| 1410 | * Over the credits, Tom and Crow ridicule Mike about how very Eighties the movie is, even going so far as to blame him for its existence. This exchange leads to the three of them getting into a fight: |

| 1422 | '''Pearl''' ''(contemplatively):'' I don't really know. I'm full of hate -- I don't know if that helps. |
| 1423 | * The introduction segment has Mike attempt to do a recap, only for Tom to trick him into saying that they are Series/LostInSpace. Cue him and Crow acting like The Robot and Dr. Smith, respectively. |
| 1424 | ** It gets even better when Crow runs out of [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal alliterative insults]] and has to resort to this: |
| 1425 | --->'''Crow:''' You, you... ''(stops using the Dr. Smith voice)'' You suck!\ |

| 1432 | * Crow tries to go back in time and stop Mike from getting trapped on the Satellite of Love. Unfortunately, Mike's slacker teenage self won't listen to him, leading to this exchange from Servo over the radio: |
| 1433 | -->'''Tom:''' Hey Crow, this is Tom. It's almost Commercial Sign. Why don't you just kill him or something?\ |
| 1434 | '''Teenage Mike:''' Who's that?\ |
| 1435 | '''Crow:''' Uh, God. |
| 1436 | ** The reason Crow was convinced by Servo to do this in the first place: |
| 1437 | ---> '''Servo:''' DEAR GOD! He's a Music/{{Journey|Band}} fan!\ |
| 1438 | '''Crow:''' Oh no! I'M COMING FOR YA, MIKE! |
| 1439 | * When Crow finally succeeds in keeping Mike off of the Satellite, it results in his older brother Eddie being on the satellite instead. Eddie turns out to be a total JerkAss, making Servo his cowardly yes-man and personal ashtray. |
| 1440 | --> '''Eddie:''' Did this guy just say our reality sucks? |
| 1441 | ** Eddie smacks both Crow and Servo around if they make riffs involving puns. |

| 1515 | * The opening sketch has Mike trying to escape the Satellite of Love down a long ladder, with vague promises to Tom and Crow to bring them down as well that he likely has no plans to carry out. The Bots exact revenge by having Mike climb down into Castle Forrester, where Pearl, Bobo, and Observer are eating breakfast. The fact that Team Forrester barely even acknowledge Mike while forcing him to beat a hasty retreat makes the scene doubly funny. |
| 1516 | -->'''Mike:''' ''(over radio to Bots)'' I am opening a hatch of some sort and am dropping the ladder in. ''(does so)'' I will enter the actual structure now, which appears to be a barn of some sort, or... no, it's an eatery. It is an eatery.

| 1547 | * Any of the references to Vicki's flaming towel. |
| 1548 | * Vicki meets Doris, the hired help: |
| 1549 | -->'''Vicki:''' Oh, yes. Mr. Hargrove told me about you. |
| 1550 | -->'''Servo:''' You're the tart. |
| 1551 | * When Vicki is attacked in her bedroom and finds the door is locked, we see the key is covered in bees: |
| 1552 | -->'''Crow:''' "It seems we have something you need!" |
| 1553 | * All the bitter exchanges between Hargrove and his chainsmoking wife: |
| 1554 | -->'''Crow''': *sighs* Has the hate gone out of our marriage? |
| 1555 | * When Vicki dreams about the dog's death: |
| 1556 | -->'''Servo:''' "Avenge me! Ruff!" |
| 1557 | * Vicki shows Manfred the photos she took of Hargrove's documents: |
| 1558 | -->'''Manfred:''' ''(developing the film)'' "There we are..." |
| 1559 | -->'''Servo:''' "Excellent pictures of ''your THUMB'', thank you very much!" |

| 1562 | '''Servo:''' "Then I thought 'No, I'll keep it all for myself!'" |

| 1565 | * The bowler-hatted guy at the end: |
| 1566 | --> '''Mike:''' "Hello, I'm here for the movie, am I late? H--hello?" |
| 1567 | ** This guy proceeds to stride through the SOL ''and'' Castle Forrester (complete with the film's music) to everyone's bemusement. |

| 1574 | '''All:''' (''scream in pain and fear'') |

| 1577 | |
| 1578 | [[AC:907: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E07Hobgoblins Hobgoblins]] ]] |
| 1579 | * The entire opening of the film has Mike having to repeatedly chase after both Servo and Crow, because [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere they both keep trying to flee as soon as he turns to the other one.]] |
| 1580 | ** While Servo weeps and slowly hovers to the other side of the theater, Crow abruptly declares "Nope, sorry, I hate myself! Goodbye!" and ''legs it.'' |
| 1581 | *** Mike finally gets the pair to calm down, and to just sit and watch the movie. Cue commerical bumper. |

| 1585 | * After the goblins escape from the vault |
| 1586 | -->'''[=McCreedy=]''': Those creatures... The vault... I tried...\ |
| 1587 | '''Crow''': Sentence fragments. Just phrases. |
| 1588 | * Tom's interpretation of the incomprehensible lyrics to the song from the club scene. |
| 1589 | -->'''Singer''': (Incomprehensible)\ |
| 1590 | '''Tom''': ''Let me tell you about our drink special tonight!''\ |
| 1591 | '''Singer''': (Incomprehensible)\ |
| 1592 | '''Tom''': ''Don't park in the alley or you'll get towed!''\ |
| 1593 | '''Singer''': (Incomprehensible)\ |
| 1594 | '''Tom''': ''While I'm up here let me point out the restrooms!'' |
| 1595 | ** Tom also describes the performers as a "Basque separatist rock band". |
| 1596 | ** All three attempt to figure out the song's title, guessing "Kid Snickers," "Swiss Knickers," and "Pig Licker" (or possibly "Pig Liquor"), before deciding on "Fish Picker." |
| 1597 | * The commentary for the [[{{Narm}} gardening tool fight]]. |
| 1598 | -->'''Mike''': I'd switch to the weed whacker at this point.\ |
| 1599 | '''Crow''': THROW SOME MIRACLE-GRO IN HIS EYES! |
| 1600 | * The guys' [[FetishRetardant reaction]] to the nerdy kid's dream girl. |
| 1601 | -->'''Crow''': ''Aaaughh!'' [[Music/LedZeppelin Robert Plant!]]\ |
| 1602 | '''Mike''': "That's '''EXACTLY''' what I want to look like."\ |
| 1603 | '''Tom''': I don't really ''need'' to see every part of the human body outlined in spandex! I can ''trust'' it's all there!\ |
| 1604 | '''Crow:''' T-that is not a woman! That's Music/DavidLeeRoth! |
| 1605 | * At the end of film, after the vault has been blown up: |
| 1606 | -->'''[=McCreedy=]''': There's been an accident at the studio.\ |
| 1607 | '''Crow''': We made ''Hobgoblins''. |
| 1608 | * The part where Mike and the Bots pretty much give up trying to watch the film and bring out pre-recorded [[CardboardPal cardboard cutouts]] to [[BadBadActing riff]] for them: |
| 1609 | -->'''Mike Cutout''': Here's this guy. What's he up to?\ |
| 1610 | '''Tom Cutout''': Boy, this is stupid!\ |
| 1611 | '''Mike Cutout''': I wouldn't do that! Would you?\ |
| 1612 | '''Crow Cutout''': No. |
| 1613 | ** Which continues into the following host segment when the cardboard cutouts somehow make their way to the bridge: |
| 1614 | --->'''Mike Cutout:''' Boy, that sure is a bad movie. Won't you?\ |
| 1615 | '''Servo Cutout:''' It sure is, you know.\ |
| 1616 | '''Crow Cutout:''' Hey fellas. Here's a little song I wrote about that movie. ''Hobgoblins''.\ |
| 1617 | '''Mike Cutout:''' Are you kidding me?\ |
| 1618 | '''Servo Cutout:''' Then let's go. |
| 1619 | * "Meet the Hobgoblins: Frankie, Sniffles, Bounce-Bounce, and The Claw!" |
| 1620 | * The gang riffing on the characters' lack of reaction when Nick is [[ManOnFire seemingly incinerated]] right in front of them: |
| 1621 | -->'''Mike''': Aw, come on, Nick... oh yeah, he burned to death. Oh well.\ |
| 1622 | '''Crow''': Nick's a smoking husk right now. He won't mind if we use his van. |
| 1623 | * Crow's documentary about whether or not women exist. At one point it shows a clip of Mike, happily eating a sandwich, saying he was the closest thing they found but experts say he's not a woman. |
| 1624 | ** Mike points out that they ''do'' know a woman: Pearl. Crow challenges him to name one other woman he knows, and Mike seems genuinely puzzled trying to think of someone. |
| 1625 | --->'''Crow:''' [[InsaneTrollLogic Okay, so one woman exists, that means]] ''[[InsaneTrollLogic all]]'' [[InsaneTrollLogic women exist?]] |
| 1626 | ** The introduction of the documentary features Crow sitting at a desk, framed by several artistic renderings of "women"--specifically, Creator/LucilleBall, Indira Gandhi, Patsy Cline, the Venus de Milo, and [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Lucy Van Pelt]]. |
| 1627 | ** The interview Crow has with an anonymous guest that is blatantly himself [[note]]...with a fake handlebar mustache a fakey deep voice as a PaperThinDisguise[[/note]]. |
| 1628 | --->'''Guest!Crow:''' And then, this woman -- well, I think it was a woman -- she, uh, married me.\ |
| 1629 | '''Interviewer!Crow:''' Did you have any children, sir?\ |
| 1630 | '''Guest!Crow:''' ''[pause]'' ...I don't remember! |
| 1631 | ** Throughout the entire scene, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Servo is sitting on the desk trying to read,]] only really responding to Crow with a disbelieving shake of the head upon his 'rationalisation' of the existence of Pearl. |
| 1632 | ** Crow presenting women like they were a cryptozoological phenomenon...complete with a grainy black-and-white photo of a woman in a big fur coat walking in the woods like the subject of the famous Patterson/Gimlim "Bigfoot" film. |
| 1633 | |
| 1634 | [[AC:908: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E08TheTouchOfSatan The Touch of Satan]] ]] |
| 1635 | * The one, the only: |
| 1636 | -->'''Melissa''': This is where the fish lives. |
| 1637 | * In one of the opening scenes, there's an awkward transition from Lucinda killing a farmer with his own pitchfork, to the rest of her family sharing a laugh at the dinner table. Naturally... |
| 1638 | -->'''Crow''': ''(laughing)'' And then he died! |
| 1639 | * The RunningGag about the Stricklands' walnut [[InsistentTerminology ranch]]. |
| 1640 | -->'''Tom''': How many head of walnut do you have?\ |
| 1641 | '''Tom''': Man, those walnuts are tearin' through the hay!\ |
| 1642 | '''Melissa''': You're lucky.\ |
| 1643 | '''Jodie''': Yeah, I guess I am.\ |
| 1644 | '''Crow''': But you get to watch the walnuts grow up wild and free... |
| 1645 | * On a darker note, all the jokes about Lucinda being old and decrepit. |
| 1646 | -->'''Melissa''': I'm going to lock the door now, do you understand?\ |
| 1647 | '''Tom''': I haven't understood anything since [[UsefulNotes/WilliamMcKinley McKinley]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_William_McKinley went down.]]\ |
| 1648 | '''Crow''': ''(as Lucinda kills a policeman with a hay hook)'' Where's my bike?! I reported it stolen eighty years ago! |
| 1649 | * From the flashback scene, taking advantage of the fact that the leader of the mob is played by Robert Easton, who had previously shown up on ''[=MST3K=]'' as co-writer and costar of ''The Giant Spider Invasion'' (he played the conniving Dan): |
| 1650 | -->'''19th-century witch mob''': Burn the witch! Burn the witch!\ |
| 1651 | '''Mike''': Oh, and Go Packers too, but mostly burn the witch!\ |
| 1652 | '''Mr. Strickland''': [[Literature/BookOfJob "The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days..."]]\ |
| 1653 | '''Tom''': Said Literature/{{Madeline}}. |
| 1654 | * "Mrs. Lucasta... lost 'er young'un tonight. Only three years old." "''Left 'er at Gymboree!''" |
| 1655 | * When Melissa tells Jodie that she's a witch: |
| 1656 | -->'''Jodie''': Um, make me disappear.\ |
| 1657 | '''Crow''': [[TakeThat Yaaaay!]] |
| 1658 | * "Good, so we're both in the clutches of the Devil because you wanted seconds." |
| 1659 | * When Melissa discovers [[RapidAging the catch]] to her deal with the Devil: |
| 1660 | -->'''Melissa:''' He tricked me! |
| 1661 | -->'''Mike:''' Oh, man, if you can't trust the Devil... |
| 1662 | * The gang making fun of the scene where Jodie says "Zah!" while pretending to cast a spell to scare some townspeople. |
| 1663 | -->'''Tom:''' ''(as Melissa)'' The grocer's wife died when someone said "Zah!", [[DudeNotFunny it's not funny]]!\ |
| 1664 | '''Mike:''' ''(as Jodie)'' I've said "Zah!" in better towns than this. |
| 1665 | |
| 1666 | [[AC:909: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E09Gorgo Gorgo]] ]] |
| 1667 | * The sea shanty: "They got into port and everyone was okay / They went out to lunch and felt better!" Even funnier if you know the song Crow's parodying, Music/GordonLightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". |
| 1668 | * The Intro segment (shown before the movie) has Observer trying to beat Bobo in arm-wrestling. [[CurbStompBattle It...doesn't end too well for him, as Bobo easily beats him, over and over, with a bored expression.]] |
| 1669 | * "Come see Gorgo! He'll kill your family! Come get killed by Gorgo!" |
| 1670 | * Tom's BigShutUp as Mama Gorgo roaring at the annoying reporter. |
| 1671 | |
| 1672 | [[AC:910: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E10TheFinalSacrifice The Final Sacrifice]] ]] |
| 1673 | * This is especially funny if you realize Pipper sounds very similar to Steve Smith. It takes until almost the end of the episode for the crew to make the reference, but they finally do with "[[Series/TheRedGreenShow And remember: If women don't find you handsome, at least they'll find you handy.]]" |
| 1674 | ** Hell, ''anything'' they said during the Pipper sequence. The man sounded like a real-life [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Yosemite Sam]], goldang it! |
| 1675 | --->"If it's any consolation, I hates that rabbit, too..." |
| 1676 | ** Over dinner: |
| 1677 | --->'''Troy:''' You knew my father?\ |
| 1678 | '''Tom:''' ''(as Pipper)'' Knew him? [[ImAHumanitarian He was delicious!]] |
| 1679 | ** From the same sequence: |
| 1680 | --->'''Troy:''' What happened to him?\ |
| 1681 | '''Mike (as Pipper):''' [[ImAHumanitarian I jerked him!]] |
| 1682 | * During the opening credits, the director's name is shown to be "Tjardus Greidanus": |
| 1683 | -->'''Crow:''' He comes from a long line [[{{joke of the butt}} of Greidanuses]]. |
| 1684 | * Pipper's explanation of Ziox culture, with Servo's interjections. |
| 1685 | -->'''Mike Pipper:''' Now, thousands of years ago...\ |
| 1686 | '''Tom Servo:''' Uh-huh?\ |
| 1687 | '''Mike Pipper:''' ... long before the Indians...\ |
| 1688 | '''Tom Servo:''' Yeah?\ |
| 1689 | '''Mike Pipper:''' ... this land was inhabited by the Ziox.\ |
| 1690 | '''Tom Servo:''' No, it wasn't.\ |
| 1691 | '''Mike Pipper:''' They were a highly intelligent race...\ |
| 1692 | '''Tom Servo:''' Nu-uh.\ |
| 1693 | '''Mike Pipper:''' ... far advanced in science, and architecture, and literature...\ |
| 1694 | '''Tom Servo:''' No, they weren't.\ |
| 1695 | '''Mike Pipper:''' ... they built a huge city...\ |
| 1696 | '''Tom Servo:''' No, they didn't. |
| 1697 | * All of the Larry Csonka jokes, but particularly this one, as the camera focuses on the framed photo of the character who looks like him: |
| 1698 | --> '''Tom''': MVP, Super Bowl VIII, for UsefulNotes/{{Miami}}. |
| 1699 | * (after Rowsdower escapes the villains and catches his breath) "Hold on, I'm having a series of elaborate heart attacks." |
| 1700 | * (after Rowsdower [[CatapultNightmare wakes up screaming from a nightmare]]) '''Mike''': "I forgot the liquor store closes at 8:00!!!!!" |
| 1701 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RHVoFpncgA Canada song]], gleefully [[CrossesTheLineTwice Crossing The Line Twice]]. |
| 1702 | * A close-up of one of the cult statues with its mouth open leads Tom to riff: "[[Film/TheJazzSinger Mammy! Ehhhh.]]" |
| 1703 | * "Canadian villain, ''Garth'' [[Franchise/StarWars Vader]]." |
| 1704 | * And of course... |
| 1705 | --->'''Servo:''' You've got mud on your face / Ya big dis-grace / Shovin' those sandwiches into your face, / Singin'\ |
| 1706 | '''All:''' [[Music/{{Queen}} We will, we will, Rowsdower!]]\ |

| 1708 | * "[[SarcasmMode I think the movie's going really well!]]" |
| 1709 | * "I'd like to sing something from Music/BoneMachine..." |
| 1710 | * When Rowsdower nearly bashes Troy's head in during a brief case of mistaken identity... |
| 1711 | --->'''Mike (as Troy):''' Wait, it's me!\ |
| 1712 | '''Servo (as Rowsdower):''' I know! |
| 1713 | * When Troy's walking through a forest of trees looking at the map. |
| 1714 | --->'''Crow (as Troy):''' Turn left at the tree. [[SarcasmMode That helps.]] |
| 1715 | * The name ''Zap Rowsdower'' is already amusing on its own, but hearing Satoris growling it out in his [[EvilSoundsDeep evil, pitch-adjusted voice]] is enough to send Mike and the Bots into a giggling fit. |
| 1716 | * Some ominous establishment shots of the tiny town are shown while the sound of Rowsdower trying to start his truck is heard... |
| 1717 | --->'''Crow:''' Uh oh. The town's alternator is shot. |
| 1718 | * They come back from commercial break to see Rowsdower still pumping the accelerator and trying to start his truck, to which Mike adds: "''Seven years later...''" |
| 1719 | ** Which is also a call back to the title card after the cold opening and opening credits. |
| 1720 | * Troy calls the Operator, trying to find out about Mike Pipper but to no avail... |
| 1721 | --->''(Troy hangs up phone)''\ |
| 1722 | '''Crow:''' Aaaaaaannnndddd the investigation comes to a close! |
| 1723 | ** From the same scene: |

| 1725 | '''Mike (as phone operator):''' ''(in sing-songy voice)'' No! |
| 1726 | * "Heh heh... You know it's spring when the executioners start getting in the house!" |
| 1727 | * When Troy confronts Satoris: |
| 1728 | --->'''Satoris:''' Why don't you ask your 'friend' when he arrives?\ |
| 1729 | '''Servo:''' Ha ha! The joke's on you! I don't ''have'' any friends! |
| 1730 | * Troy trying to cut himself loose from the ropes: |
| 1731 | --->'''Mike (as Troy):''' I dropped it! ... Which is the sharp side? ... Um, I cut both my wrists! ... Um, I somehow swallowed the knife. |
| 1732 | * When Troy shoots Satoris: |
| 1733 | --->'''Servo:''' ''Ow!'' [[ShotInTheAss You shot my butt!]] What the ''hell?'' You ''shot'' me in the ''butt!'' |
| 1734 | * As Satoris dies and burns: |
| 1735 | --->'''Crow:''' So Mike, most humans, when you shoot 'em in the butt, they burst into flames?\ |
| 1736 | '''Mike:''' Well, umm...\ |
| 1737 | '''Crow:''' Wait, can we try it? Turn around. |
| 1738 | * "Rowsdower-mobile awaaaaaay!" |

| 1740 | |
| 1741 | [[AC:911: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E11DevilFish Devil Fish]] ]] |

| 1743 | -->"That's six degrees off the port beer, I mean, bow."\ |
| 1744 | ...\ |
| 1745 | '''Bob:''' It [a sound] lasted for three minutes.\ |
| 1746 | '''Servo:''' Like my last twelve-pack. |
| 1747 | * "Sorry about the electricians crack. My father's village was attacked by electricians." |
| 1748 | * Mike and the Bots' reaction to when a scene suddenly cuts from a Coast Guard rescue, to a few seconds of Stella playing with a dolphin, and then suddenly back again to the Coast Guard. |
| 1749 | -->'''Servo:''' You know, just because you ''can'' edit, doesn't mean you ''should''. |
| 1750 | * About actor Michael Sopkiw's name in the credits: |
| 1751 | -->'''Mike:''' Great, they spelled his name sideways. |
| 1752 | |
| 1753 | [[AC:912: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E12TheScreamingSkull The Screaming Skull]] ]] |
| 1754 | * The ''Gumby'' short "Robot Rumpus" features some razor sharp riffing from Mike and his own robots. "It's my seventh day without food or water, have mercy!" |
| 1755 | * "One of my classmates died in the kiln today, Mother!" |
| 1756 | * "Hey, don't! That's [[WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit Wallace and Gromit's]] yard!" |
| 1757 | * "Well, you use one of those older Philips analog chips in your robot, you're gonna get this." Crow's hilariously matter-of-fact delivery really sells the line. |
| 1758 | * Gumby's mother is displeased, leading the guys down in front to declare, "That squares my breasts!" |
| 1759 | * When Gumbo jumps into the trench to deactivate the digging robot: "Oooh, ''bad'' move! Robots do ''not'' fight clean!" |
| 1760 | ** Mike mutters that he found ''that'' out the hard way. |
| 1761 | * "Thank goodness for the internal genitalia!" |
| 1762 | * In one host segment, Tom and Crow decide to play a prank on Mike by spraying Crow's head white, removing his eyes, and putting fake teeth in his mouth to make him look like a skull. Mike's OTT reaction is priceless: he screams non-stop while attacking Crow with a bag of chips, then a baseball bat, then a golf club (after taking a few moments to select the right club). A terrified Crow and Tom get through to him for just a moment to explain the joke, but when Crow demonstrates his scream with a half-hearted "Rahh" Mike begins screaming and attacking him again - and this time, he knocks off Tom's dome for good measure. |
| 1763 | ** Even better, the original showings on The Sci-Fi Channel aired a small bug for Volkswagen right at the tail end of that sketch. Their slogan at the time? "Drivers wanted." |
| 1764 | * In another host segment, Crow and Tom work out their ''Gumby'' induced trauma by creating their own clay characters -- Bolus and Horseflop. The voices they supply for them are nothing short of magical. |

| 1803 | '''Mike''': So shat's your deshishen, shen? |

| 1807 | -->'''Zack:''' "We musta hit a tree or something..."\ |
| 1808 | '''Crow:''' "''Something'', I dunno, it coulda been a cucumber." |
| 1809 | * The fact that the lead actress was also the screenwriter leads to this brilliant line as she and her boyfriend are trying to figure what's going on: |
| 1810 | -->'''Mike:''' "Hey, look, you wrote this crap!" |
| 1811 | * Servo sums up the film's weird theology: |

| 1818 | * The host segment where Mike spoofs Critter's wimpy singing and guitar playing while Crow is in the dreamy image above trying to tell him about a fire on the SOL. And the best part? ''[[ButtMonkey Mike]]'' is a far better singer than Critter is. |
| 1819 | * Joanie shrieks for everyone to '''''"[[GetOut GET OUT!!]]"''''' and Crow quickly tries to leave the theater in response. |

| 1823 | * "[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Ride, Shadowfax, ride!]]" when Merlin disappears when someone he was talking to turns around to look at him again. |
| 1824 | * When the film suddenly cuts to the animated short ''WesternAnimation/BalloonLand'' with the short's villain laughing maniacally, Servo casually states "Okay. Now we're in hell. It finally happened." |
| 1825 | * When one of the characters, who had previously made a big deal about how he can destroy stores with his reviews, is trying to find a spirit he summoned, Mike chimes in with "Come out or I'll review you!" |
| 1826 | ** All the quips they make about him are pretty hilarious. |
| 1827 | --->'''Jonathan Cooper:''' "Oh, I'm sorry; allow me to introduce myself..."\ |
| 1828 | '''Tom Servo:''' "I'm ''Bob Jackass!''" |
| 1829 | * During the scene where the cat becomes a monster, attacks its owner, and is burned alive by his fire breath, Crow pretends to be Ernest Borgnine's character graphically describing the whole scene to his grandson, while Servo pretends to be the traumatized grandson begging for him to stop. |
| 1830 | -->'''Crow: (as Borgnine)''' "The the cat leapt upon his throat, and began tearing out bloody strips of sinew and flesh!"\ |
| 1831 | '''Servo: (as Billy)''' *crying* "''Grandpa Borgni-hiiine!''"\ |
| 1832 | '''Crow: (as the cat)''' "You’ve cut a lot worse off of me, pal!" |
| 1833 | * Pretty much anytime they mock the movie's half-assed framing device of Grandpa Borgnine telling the stories, really. Particularly during one lengthy scene where nothing much is happening: |
| 1834 | -->'''Servo:''' "Grandpa Borgnine's kid must be getting really bored right now."\ |
| 1835 | '''Mike: (as Borgnine)''' "...Then he puttered around the kitchen for a while, and got himself a cold drink." |
| 1836 | * As detailed in the Nightmare Fuel page, one of the skits between shorts focuses on the guys speculating exactly what the hell this grandpa regards as proper material for bedtime stories. A series of 'Ernest Borgnine Approved' books for the tots are examined, and all have cutesy titles followed by stories full of atrocities and bloodletting. Then there's MoodWhiplash of the hilarious kind: the last offering, despite the less than promising title "Dr. Blood's Orgy of Gore," turns out to be suitable (if rather saccharine). |
| 1837 | --> '''Mike''' ''(pleased but baffled):'' Huh. Seems to be OK... it's about some mice...\ |

| 1851 | * All the jokes about the guy wearing the beret being in the French Revolution, especially "Vive le resistance!" and humming the French national anthem. |
| 1852 | * "This isn't a real movie; it's more of a movie ''loaf''." "Yeah, it's real movie parts, chunked and formed." |

| 1883 | * Tom having the doctor greet Paul with "What up, bitch?", perfectly timed with the doctor's nod. |
| 1884 | * "And the monster's red glare..." |
| 1885 | * In the crowd watching The Band That Played "California Lady", Mike spots a skinny guy wearing a red striped shirt & coke bottle glasses: |
| 1886 | -->'''Mike:''' "Hey, look, behind Longbone; [[Literature/WheresWaldo there's Waldo!]]"\ |
| 1887 | '''Crow:''' "Waldo!" |
| 1888 | * The CallBack to Johnny's LongList of stew ingredients. |

| 1893 | '''Crow:''' [[NoYay "We were lovers, once..."]] |
| 1894 | * Mike's "Behind the Music" segment on the Band That Played "California Lady" is this from beginning to end. |
| 1895 | ** Adding to that is the fact that The Band That Played "California Lady" has all this history and drama, but never receives a '''proper name''' (nor do its members, who are exclusively known as The Fish-Lipped Guy, The Eskimo, and The Friendly-Looking Backup Singer). |
| 1896 | * As the camera zooms in on Kathy, staring blankly ahead: |

| 1907 | * "His arteries are just looking at each other, shaking their heads." |
| 1908 | * Mike and the Bots have a lot of fun with the way some profanities are just blanked out in the audio: |

| 1910 | '''Servo''': Something!\ |
| 1911 | '''Geronimo''': [...] Now get off your knees, you son of a--!\ |
| 1912 | '''Mike''': Same thing you said! |
| 1913 | * In the final host segment, Mike tries to escape to Earth, apparently believing that because Joel escaped after watching a bad Joe Don Baker movie, he can now too, even going so far as to leave a plaque behind with a quote from his favorite movie the way Joel did. Servo and Crow have to spell it out to him that Joel escaped because Gypsy found an escape pod for him to use, and the nature of the last movie he watched had nothing to do with it. Crow also has to point out that Mike's in the water heater, not a pod. |

| 1917 | * Servo: "I guess there's no chance there'll be a jet-ski chase in this movie, is there?" |
| 1918 | * Mike and the Bots' frustration during the scene where Hamlet speaks to the ghost of his father, which for some reason is filmed almost entirely against Hamlet's face with the sound of the ghost speaking in the background: |
| 1919 | -->'''Mike''': Camera 2! Cut to camera 2!\ |
| 1920 | '''Servo''': Cut to the ghost! ''The ghost!'' '''''Cut to the ghost!''''' |
| 1921 | * During Hamlet's final confrontation with Claudius: |
| 1922 | -->'''Mike:''' "And now the king peels off his skin and becomes a ''dinosaur from Mars!''" |
| 1923 | * As members of the acting troupe come tumbling in: |
| 1924 | -->'''Tom''': What's worse than clowns? ''Danish clowns.'' |
| 1925 | * Mike hilariously (and accurately) summarizes the play's most famous speech: |
| 1926 | -->'''Mike''': "So, 'I'm a chicken for not stabbing myself'." ''That's'' all you needed to say!" |
| 1927 | |
| 1928 | [[AC:1010: [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S10E10ItLivesByNight It Lives By Night]] ]] |

| 1935 | * Bobo finding a bunch of "balloons" in a vending machine at a gas station's men's bathroom. While Pearl goes to give Bobo TheTalk, Observer takes a few for himself, saying [[HaveIMentionedIAmSexuallyActiveToday "My many lady friends will appreciate my caution."]] |
| 1936 | * The smash cut to "The End" card is so abrupt that it cuts off Mike in mid-riff: |
| 1937 | -->'''Mike:''' ''*in a Creator/WoodyAllen-esque snivel*'' "So anyway, that was my experience on the island with the girls, where I became a spider. Did it teach me anything? Maybe not, but y'know, really, in the end of--"\ |

| 1955 | ** This moment... |
| 1956 | --->'''Servo''': ''(as Gilbert)'' I'll show Coily! I'm gonna digitize everything! |
| 1957 | ** The riffers repeatedly referring to Coily as a demonic being of some sort. |
| 1958 | --->'''Crow''': Where does Coily fit into God's plan for us...? |
| 1959 | ** After Gilbert's wish is taken back, he sees the couch again full of springs: |
| 1960 | --->'''Crow''': ''(as [[Film/ItsAWonderfulLife George Bailey]])'' Merry Christmas, you wonderful old couch! |
| 1961 | * At the end, one of Gilbert's golfing buddies, Joe, complains about Gilbert's lecture on springs: |

| 1963 | '''Gilbert:''' Stop! Don't say it! Don't ever wish anything like that as long as you live!\ |
| 1964 | ''(Coily appears, cackling)''\ |

| 1967 | -->'''Servo:''' ''(as Coily)'' No springs! ''(whistles)'' |
| 1968 | * The host segment that starts out with Mike trying an experiment on a worm. He ends up frying it, then pulls out a bowl filled with a bunch of other fried worms. |
| 1969 | -->'''Mike''': He died like all the others! |
| 1970 | * In-movie a tree crashes through a Southern home at dinnertime: |
| 1971 | -->'''Crow:''' Save the chicken-fried collard greens! |
| 1972 | * In the movie, as Mick stares at a worried Geri being rowed away by Roger, there's this as Mick turns and leaves: |

Crow manages to make them stop by engaging [[{{Pun}} Sheep Mode]]. Even funnier, the one that remains confesses he's not the original Servo, and Jonah just shrugs it off. |

| 2169 | ** Also, after the Admiral uses the UnusualEuphemism of "bull butter" early on, they have him craving it and repeatedly asking for it. |

| 2179 | * During one break, Crow and Servo decide to settle an argument with a game or rock-paper-scissors accompanied by a PlaygroundSong, like one used by a pair of characters in the movie. So of course, it gets parodied to hell and back, with the two going into a rhyme that's [[OverlyLongGag such an extensive list]] of {{Shout Out}}s that in the time it takes them to finish, Jonah is [[FunnyBackgroundEvent able to make a pizza from scratch]] ''and'' we're able to cut to an entry of Kinga and Max's new [[ShowWithinAShow TV show]].

| 2258 | * Dr. F's intro for ''Film/JungleGoddess'' turning into a Creator/DennisMiller stand-up impression... |
| 2259 | -->'''Dr. F:''' "Imagine Mr. Lexus in the garage, gets up to let out Vince the rottweiler puppy, thinks to watch a little headline news on the radio, you know? Gets back in, tries to entice Mrs. Step Aerobics into a little dirty dancing on the soft sider, cha cha, I don't think so! Imagine his surprise when he sees his children sprawled on the floor like some bizarre Mathew Brady landscape..." |
| 2260 | * Dr. F practicing his "Evil Overlord Speech" for when he's asked why he's beaming bad movies to the world. |
| 2261 | * Dr. F using a remote control to destroy the ''WesternAnimation/UnderDog'' balloon (then, a long-time staple of the parade) in the UsefulNotes/MacysThanksgivingDayParade. Frank becomes distraught and his rant turns into the OhTheHumanity speech from the Hindenburg Disaster. |
| 2262 | * Much of the stuff "Jack Perkins" and the Plant Guy say... |
| 2263 | ** They both enthuse over the ''doorbell'' and compare it to Beethoven's Concerto No. 5 ('The Emperor Concerto'). |
| 2264 | --->'''Dr. F:''' "Frank, are your friends so filled with their own classical gas that they don't care that I'm beaming thirty straight hours of bad movies from coast to coast? And that the Midwest, yes, the Midwest is going to receive my next experiment, Wild Rebels! Well, look out Cleveland!" |
| 2265 | --->'''Perkins:''' "Ah, Cleveland! Eugene Ormandy and the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra!" |
| 2266 | ** A subtle RunningGag of "Perkins" enthusing over the yams he brought... Yams that were "Personally prepared by ''Karen Finley'' [[note]]A feminist performance artist who was rumored to have a bit where she would shove yams up her butt. This has since proven false but her act did involve covering her naked body in food and she did have a bit called "Yams up my Grandma's Ass"[[/note]]". |
| 2267 | ** This exchange between "Jack Perkins" and "Plant Guy" during the dinner... |
| 2268 | --->'''Perkins:''' "Yo Yo Ma. What words could I use to describe the heavenly sounds he can summon from a cello?" |
| 2269 | --->'''Plant Guy:''' "Hmm. Well, personally I've always felt that Yo Yo Ma scrapes away at the cello as if he's trying to remove the rust from some old Franklin stove." |
| 2270 | --->'''Perkins:''' "You're absolutely right. I've never liked him." |
| 2271 | ** The usually soft-spoken, cultured Jack Perkins suddenly going into an obnoxious, drunken, gloating rant against Linda Ellerbe, only to get zapped into unconsciousness by Dr. F and his cattle prod. |
| 2272 | --->'''Frank:''' "(nervously) Heh. He's a bit into the Harvey's Bristol Cream." |
| 2273 | --->'''Dr. F:''' "Frank, get rid of 'em or ''I will''." |
| 2274 | * In one of the last segments, after the dinner is over, everyone went home and the place cleaned up, TV's Frank spots Dr. F sleeping. Frank then starts [[{{Bathos}} berating the viewers]] in [[{{Wangst}} hyper-dramatic fashion]] at how the viewers at home don't care about how hard Dr. F worked to ruin Thanksgiving (unknowingly waking Dr. F in the process)... [[MoodSwinger then suddenly]] makes the observation that Dr. F's hair is so stiff that one can do fun stuff with it... |
| 2275 | -->'''Frank:''' "...He's an angel! He's a pixie! He's an angel! He's a..." |
| 2276 | -->'''Dr. F:''' ''[violently [[AngryCollarGrab grabs Frank's collar]] and pulls him down]'' "Frank! We have to ''talk!''..." |
| 2277 | |
| 2278 | [[AC:Outtakes]] |
| 2279 | * One sketch was supposed to have Joel have a simple word while eating waffles. And [[https://youtu.be/M013NSukf1w?t=5m30s he blows it]], apparently for no better reason than because he can. |
| 2280 | -->''[Joel enters the scene eating a plate of waffles, pauses for a moment and then...]''\ |
| 2281 | '''Joel''': Pancakes! -- ''[[OhCrap oh]]'', I blew it, I'm sorry.\ |
| 2282 | ''[General laughter]''\ |
| 2283 | '''Kevin Murphy''': You nut! Get outta town!\ |
| 2284 | '''Joel''': I'm sorry!\ |
| 2285 | '''Jim Mallon''': Blah blah blah...\ |
| 2286 | '''Joel''': (giggles) |
| 2287 | ** In an outtake of an earlier segment of the same episode, Joel is extolling the virtues of waffles, only for his words to turn into foreign sounding gibberish, with Servo joining in. |
| 2288 | --->'''Crow''': For our friends in foreign lands. |
| 2289 | --->'''Joel''': Fine and suitable side dish. |
| 2290 | * This outtake from the ''Little Golden Statue Preview Special'': |
| 2291 | -->'''Servo''': (''Interrupting Crow'') Cray--...Uh, "Cray"? ...Crow.\ |
| 2292 | '''Crow''': ...Well, thank you for the compliment, but I'm hardly a ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray_Computer Cray]]''... (''Chuckles'') More of a [=PC=]...\ |
| 2293 | '''Servo''': Shut up. |
| 2294 | * The outtakes for "Hercules Against The Moon Men": |
| 2295 | ** During the Super Freak Out bit, Gypsy knocks over the prop box used for the Super Freak Out kit. It results in revealing that the box is actually for a toy spider that's part of the [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse He-Man]] toy line, with Joel and 'Bots reacting in terror to the spider. |
| 2296 | ** Crow's line during one of the host segments is "Joel, I hate movies where the men wear shorter skirts than the women." During one take, Trace instead says "Joel, I hate movies where the women wear shorter skirts than..." and as he trails off, Tom has this to say: |
| 2297 | --->'''Servo''': I ''love'' movies like that! |
| 2298 | ** During the Pants Song, Joel flubs his line and says "Shit", which results in [[RepeatAfterMe Trace and Kevin]] [[ClusterFBomb singing about shit instead of pants.]] |
| 2299 | ** And ''before'' the Pants Song, Tom falls off the table, leaving Crow singing shyly alone while Joel helps him up. |
| 2300 | --->'''Kevin/Servo''': This is a bugaboo, this one! |
| 2301 | --->'''Trace/Crow''': Pants.....Pants......Sing the praises of Pants. |
| 2302 | --->'''Kevin/Servo''': (while Crow is singing) Sorry! He's okay! He's ''alright!'' |
| 2303 | * In the outtakes for "The Brain That Wouldn't Die", Mike attempts to tell a story from his childhood and flubs it up, prompting Trace to have Crow say "Get to the part where you ''pee''!" |
| 2304 | * One of the outtakes has Crow speaking a line and suddenly ''burping''. Servo, without missing a beat, makes a quick remark on it: |
| 2305 | -->'''Servo''': Whoa! [[ElSpanishO El Belcherino!]] |
| 2306 | -->'''Joel''': Speecy spicy, take 22. |
| 2307 | * Pretty much any of the ''many'' outtakes where the 'bots fall apart (they usually stay in character and freak out), but especially one memorable incident where Crow's eyes came loose and rolled around so that the pupils were hidden: |
| 2308 | -->'''Crow:''' "I'M BLIND!" |
| 2309 | -->'''Servo''': AAGGGHHH! CROW'S BLIND! '''BLLLIIIIIIIIIINNNNND!''' |
| 2310 | ** On another occasion, Crow's net falls off. Crow just looks at it and gives a completely deadpan ''"What the fuck?"'' |
| 2311 | --->'''Servo''': Please, web wrangler, web wrangler. |
| 2312 | ** On some other occasion, Servo's "head" falls off. Crow comically overreacts: |
| 2313 | --->'''Crow''': "OH MY GOD-- OH THE HORROR!! OH HO, SERVO!" |
| 2314 | ** On more than one occasion Servo's puppet falls from its support. During one Crow reacts by innocently humming a song pretending everything is alright, and on another he asks, barely holding his laughter, "Servo, speak to me." |
| 2315 | ** And on another, Crow is ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M013NSukf1w&t=26m30s set on fire]]'', he laughs, screams and then, nonchalantly, states "I'll be in my trailer". All of that staying in character. |
| 2316 | ** In ''yet another'' outtake, Tom, Joel, and Crow are pretending to be on the beach, when Crow (who was sitting back) happens to fall on his side. |
| 2317 | --->'''Servo''': Crow passed out! He has sunstroke! '''Talk''' to me, boy! |
| 2318 | --->'''Joel''': What's wrong, Crow? |
| 2319 | --->''(Crow sits up, revealing that his eyes have, once again, come loose)'' |
| 2320 | --->'''Crow''': ''[flailing about]'' HELP ME! ''HELP ME!!'' |
| 2321 | * Another outtake has Crow's crest glued on ''too'' well; when Mike is pretending to be a TV chef and tries to saw it off with a knife, he exclaims, "Holy ''shit'', is this thing stuck on!" |
| 2322 | * In one of the outtakes Mike shows up dressed up as Torgo with his trademark limp while delivering a pizza to Frank and Clayton. You can see Frank ''desperately'' struggling (and visibly failing) not to crack up... And the moment Torgo opens his mouth they both just lose it. |
| 2323 | * Joel is playing with a board game with a single six sided dice and the die doesn't come up the way it's supposed to. |
| 2324 | -->'''Joel''': Okay, three. |
| 2325 | -->'''Kevin''': No, that's six. |
| 2326 | -->'''Joel''': Oh I just... you just want me to... |
| 2327 | -->'''Kevin''': Whatever it comes up as. |
| 2328 | -->'''Joel''': (Rolls a four) Oh, [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale nine]]! (Kevin starts laughing, Joel and the camera crew follow) |
| 2329 | |
| 2330 | [[AC:The Rest]] |
| 2331 | * As shown in the Scrapbook video, Mike, Kevin and Trace performed an extended version of "The Greatest Frank of All" during the '94 [=ConventioCon=] -- only for Frank himself to appear in a tight black leotard and perform an interpretive scarf ballet. The audience goes absolutely wild. |
| 2332 | * In the production copy of one episode, the 3 are standing around in the studio for a water break between movie scenes. After Kevin makes a remark that bottled water is probably less safe to drink than tap water (due to a lack of regulation on bottled water), Mike starts listing the ingredients of bottled water...only it's the ingredients of the infamous soup in ''Film/TrackOfTheMoonBeast'', said in that same monotone. Kevin is trying so hard not to crack up that all he can let out between the snickers is a quick "Look... that... just... fuck you" before completely breaking down. |
| 2333 | * The episode intro to ''The Touch of Satan'' on the original DVD set has Mike unknowingly referring to the film as ''A Touch of Satan'', like it's a cooking recipe or something. |
| 2334 | * The breakout star of the Season 13 Premiere: [[WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties The white dot]]. |
| 2335 | |
| 2336 | [[AC:The Amazing Colossal Episode Guide]] |
| 2337 | * ''Teen-Age Crime Wave'': |
| 2338 | --> '''Paul Chaplin''': The farm family in ''Teen-Age Crime Wave'' is a little weird. We learn that Ma and Pa were married in 1910, but Ben, their only child, wasn't born until 1927. They seem like a reserved couple, but come on! All I can figure is they were Yankee fans, and their favorite team's stupendous performance that year (the '27 Yankees are considered the best ever) sent them howling into their one and only frenzy of desire... hold on. Assuming their passion peaked during the World Series, Ben wouldn't have been born until mid-1928. So it must have been something else. |
| 2339 | * In the Q&A section, one person asked, "What are each of the stars' favorite movies or books?" The response was, "Their favorite movie is ''Film/ItsPat''. Their favorite book is ''The Making of It's Pat''." |
| 2340 | * Paul Chaplin mentions in one of the episode recaps that he's been to Istanbul, and says he'll probably bring it up again before the book's over. Sure enough, he says "I've been to Istanbul" in unrelated contexts a few more times throughout the book. |
| 2341 | * In the summary for ''Hercules Against the Moonmen'': |
| 2342 | --> [[HandWave "Eventually, Hercules beats up enough people that everything turns out okay."]] |
| 2343 | * In the summary for ''Santa Claus Conquers the Martians'', Paul Chaplin [[DisproportionateRetribution wishes death]] on Milton [=DeLugg=] for the film's score and title song ("Hooray for Santa Claus!"). |
| 2344 | * In the obscure references section, a reference to a ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode is extrapolated by Trace Beaulieu. After Trace's explanation, the author says, [[DrivenToSuicide "I have to go kill myself now. Bye bye."]] |
| 2345 | * One of the obscure references is of [[https://www.thehouseontherock.com/ The House on the Rock]], and the book mentions the nearby [[https://www.donqinn.net/ Don Q Inn]]. It appears to be a plug, but they add: "Bring your own sheets." |
| 2346 | * When discussing ''Invasion U.S.A.'': |
| 2347 | --> '''Paul''': This movie asserts that captains of industry should be ready whenever asked to turn their businesses over to the Department of Defense even in peacetime. In fact, several military men once visited Best Brains and demanded we drop ''MST'' and produce tanks for them. In the spirit of compromise we agreed to make one tank. (We need to get going on that.) |
| 2348 | * One Q&A asked "What is time code?" The answer: "Time code is a SMPTE standard, um, language that you put... and it helps you know what hour and minute and second you are on the tape... when you edit, um, and you want to sync...\ |
| 2349 | Time code is an elfin ghost who lives inside your skull." |
| 2350 | * Paul Chaplin was baffled at the theology of ''Film/SantaClaus'': |
| 2351 | --> '''Paul''': From my point of view, the filmmakers betray some confusion regarding the substance of Christianity. While they seem at least dimly aware of the name "Jesus", they clearly reserve their deepest worship for jolly old St. Nick. On what ancient texts do they base their fervor? I recall no references to the Son of Man winking and laying his finger alongside of his nose. When would that have been appropriate- after the miracle of Lazarus? On the road to Emmaus? I will grant that my view of a Christian God allows for a sense of humor, but a God who shakes when he laughs like a bowlful of jelly is outside any tradition I grew up with. |
| 2352 | * One of the intro pages merely says: |
| 2353 | --> About the typeface: [[CaptainObvious This book uses a particular typeface.]] |
| 2354 | * Mike Nelson's [[PlayedForLaughs bio]] states that he was born in [[OlderThanTheyLook 1811]] in Barcelona, Spain! |
| 2355 | * The commentary for the episode ''Time of the Apes'' said that watching the "movie" was a miserable experience and while it might be apocryphal, they think one writer died. |
| 2356 | * The book has no less than ''four'' prefaces, each by a different Best Brains writer. Each one begins with variants of, [[BrokenRecord "When I was asked to write the preface for this book..."]] |
| 2357 | * Mike mentioned that there was talk of hanky-panky going on at one of their conventions, and assured the readers it won't happen at next year's con. |
| 2358 | * Mike's recap of ''Godzilla vs. Megalon'', where he mentions the Orville Popcorn sketch: |
| 2359 | --> '''Mike''': Our show continues a tradition of tackling anemic opponents, e.g., barbecue sauces, Mentos candies, bed and breakfasts. Sleep better, America, knowing that we don't intend to stop. |
| 2360 | * The preface to season 2, when Kevin Murphy tells about when he took over as Tom Servo, a viewer sent him a huge banner in the mail that said "I HATE SERVO'S NEW VOICE". He was so amused someone took the effort to make this that he hung it up in his office. |
| 2361 | * ''Film/TheTouchOfSatan'': |
| 2362 | --> "So, Jody saves Melissa from the Devil by sleeping with her, in a scene particularly devoid of sensuality and chest hair; but since it turns out Melissa is then going to die, he then sells his and her soul back to the Devil. The paperwork must have been a nightmare." |
| 2363 | |
| 2364 | [[AC:The Kickstarter]] |
| 2365 | * [[https://youtu.be/cpgZAO9pDnY The introduction of the new Servo and Crow... as well as the new Mad]]. |
| 2366 | -->'''Joel:''' I should have never sold the show rights to a fictional character. |
| 2367 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FsXqidZgG4 Crow and Tom auditioned for]] ''Film/TheForceAwakens''. Thinking they were going to get other roles other than BB-8. |
| 2368 | * The Kickstarter for the Gizmoplex included a livestream of the ''Hobgoblins'' episode, which Joel had actually never seen before despite being one of the show's most popular. He gets quite hilariously professionally offended at the film's shoddy puppetry, eventually realizing the Hobgoblins don't even seem to be puppets at all, just dolls that are being waved around. |
| 2369 | ** The next livestream was for ''Untamed Youth'', where they have a field day with Joel's dead-eyed, line-blowing performance in the Greg Brady host segment. "I can't believe people thought you were stoned." |
| 2370 | ** These also feature J. Elvis Weinstein sharing how Joel first approached him about the show, just vaguely saying it involved puppets. "So just imagine all the hundreds of ways that could have gone horribly wrong." |
| 2371 | ** The livestream for ''Zombie Nightmare'' included a surprise appearance from one of the film's stars, Frank Dietz, who shared the story of how he first discovered the film would be featured on the show when a clip was featured in a promo. He immediately called the writer John Fasano, who it turned out had also seen the promo, and simply shouted "I know!" the instant he picked up. |
| 2372 | |
| 2373 | [[AC:Netflix Promo Shorts]] |
| 2374 | * Tom and Crow's increasingly deadly show pitches to the CCO of Netflix. |
| 2375 | --> '''Crow:''' The sun. People die there everyday. We want to get a team of journalist and a documentary crew and send them to the sun to find out why people keep dying there. |
| 2376 | * Crow and Tom's absolute glee at their (mistaken) belief they actually managed to pitch a show. |
| 2377 | * Crow and Tom riffing on other Netflix originals. But especially ''Series/TheOA'' |
| 2378 | --> '''Crow:''' Are we watching someone's [=SnapChat=]? |
| 2379 | --> '''Tom Servo:''' (watching a woman jumping off a bridge) Don't OA! Don't OA! OA!!!! Up and Up and OA!!!! (That's what she said before she jumped). |
| 2380 | * Crow and Tom's reaction to the Netflix mailroom guy telling them "fan mail" is mostly on the internet. |
| 2381 | --> '''Tom Servo:''' The Whatey-net? |
| 2382 | --> '''Crow:''' Al Gore's folly? |
| 2383 | * Crow and Tom reading [=YouTube=] comments, with both the positive and negative comments being profanity laden. And then being baffled by a smiley face, panicking over if it's a coded glitch in ''Film/TheMatrix''. |
| 2384 | * Crow going mad with fame after having make up applied to him. |
| 2385 | --> '''Crow:''' I'm a Star. I'm a Star. I'm Star! |
| 2386 | |
| 2387 | [[AC:Gizmoplex Content]] |
| 2388 | * A live preview of ''The Christmas Dragon'' included a Yule Log roast where the cast riffed on childhood Christmas photos: |
| 2389 | ** A picture of baby Conor dressed in tartan: |
| 2390 | -->'''Emily''': So we shouldn't be surprised that Conor's first words as a baby was - HIGHLANDER! |
| 2391 | ** A grumpy looking child Emily sitting by a tree: |
| 2392 | -->'''Jonah''': ''Wednesday!'' Now streaming on Netflix! |
| 2393 | ** Kelsey in an Eastern European style outfit: |
| 2394 | -->'''Yvonne(?)''': Wow, that's culturally insensitive to all cultures! |
| 2395 | -->'''Jonah''': Whoa, Kelsey used to be a playing card? |
| 2396 | -->'''Conor''': (singing) Ace of Spades! |
| 2397 | ** A collection of Tim Ryder's family photos: |
| 2398 | -->'''Jonah:''' Tim, your dad was the Master from ''Manos''? |
| 2399 | ** Tim's Running Gag about wanting to go and play Creator/{{Sierra}} games. |
