Funny / Mystery Science Theater 3000 S08 E16: Prince of Space

Go To

  • (dramatic voice) He's Prince of Watching His Space Cushion!
  • "Oh, for cryin—EACH! OF! YOU! WILL!..."
  • Alternate reality Mike, as a robot mannequin.
    Crow: Sorry, Mike, I only take orders from Willie Tyler and Lester!
    • Bot!Mike looks like he'd fit right in Team America: World Police.
    • When Bot!Mike goes into the theater with Servo and Crow, he even has a little headset mike.
  • The crew poking fun at the one kid's comical "wiseguy" dubbed voice:
    Kid: "Hey, I wondah wheah Wally is. He said he would come tonight!"
    Mike: "He's got some stones to mess wit' me!"
  • The entirety of the "out-of-sync" host segment.
    Crow: All I know is I want my chicken puppet back! (looks at his hand, where Mike put the puppet back - then confused) Hey, how'd that happen?!
    (Cue Servo in the background giggling, having stolen the chicken puppet before Crow even noticed. Crow leaves... then returns half a minute later.)
    Crow: ...Hey, anyone seen my chicken puppet?
  • Every time Krankor appears, the crew make chicken noises. That, or they compare him to a chicken in some way.
  • Crow: Your guns are useless, but scare the crap out of me anyway!note 
  • Servo: (as Prince) Mom says I have to wear this out in space 'cause it's cold.
  • Cut to Krankor spinning around in his evil swivel chair:
    Servo: "Weeee!"
  • When Prof. Macken first wakes up on Krankor's ship and sees him looking over him.
    Mike: [as Krankor] Good morning, honey.
  • Macken's squinting, tight-lipped "sad" face after Krankor explains the situation ends up just making him look extremely pissed off, prompting Mike to throw in:
    "...I'm gon' mess you up. Mm!"
  • When the Phantom Dictator of Krankor transmits his surrender ultimatum to the Earth, the spinning console behind him resembles nothing so much as a merry-go-round.
    (Tom makes carnival calliope music.)
    Crow: "Daddy, this is fun!"
    Mike: "Want to go faster? Raise your hands if you want to go faster."
  • Krankor and the Prince confront each other:
    Krankor: Yes, I've come.
    Prince: Ha ha ha!
    Krankor: And now I'm going to kill you!
    Servo: (as Prince) Ha ha...oh.
  • Mike and the Bots' repeated jabs at the aliens' continued attempts to shoot the Prince of Space despite him repeatedly stating that their guns don't work on him. They sound increasingly exasperated each time he has to point it out.
  • The general horror at the alien's all-too-revealing costumes.
    Mike: Oh, ugh... What gets into some civilizations?
  • Servo is finally fed up with the scientist's obtuseness.
    Krankor: Each of you will enter a space capsule...
    Scientist: What was that?
    Servo: Oh, for crying out — EACH! OF! YOU! WILL! ENTER! A! SPACE! CAPSULE!!!
  • Tom takes a jab at Krankor's cockyness despite his repeated defeats.
  • Prince of Space rescues a scientist near the end, who says his name excitedly.
    Servo: No, it's Michael Jeter— OF COURSE IT'S PRINCE OF SPACE!
  • In the final host segment, when the movie's villain Krankor refuses to leave, Mike scares him off by saying "Aah".
    Krankor: (cowering) Don't hit! Don't hit!
  • A scene of Krankor's soldiers standing in tall grass:
    Crow: Huh, those Heaven's Gate people were supposed to meet us here...
