Favorite Riffs


All: (as invaders advance on Space Chief)Ha, ha, ha, ha. Your costume is ridiculous!

Crow: Look, it's Space Chef!
Mike: Uh, Chief.
Crow: Chief Chef?

Servo: (singing) Space Chief failed miserably, and tried to cover up his shame!

I also loved the continuous riffs about the head invader's record/helmet.

Crow(?): Has anybody seen my record?

reply

Crow: They're being defeated by a whispy bachelor.

reply

"9, 8"

"1"

"7,

"1"

"6"

"1!"



"not many movies pull off showing a radar screen for nearly a min and this isn't one of them"

As rocket rises up..."Gooood morning!"

"Wait for Grandpa Rocket!"

reply

I've got another one:

Servo: Mike, I've got another song. (sings) Dah dah, dah dah dah dah - EAT IT, MOVIE!

Calm down, folks. It's only a movie.

reply

Servo: "Suppository Man!"

Crow: "Seriously, guys, where is my record?"

(after the kids have been looking for the rocket in an open field and suddenly see it)
Mike: "Oh, I can see how they missed that."

reply

please tell me none of you have forgeten the hitler museam.

"42 its a happy cult" Kiwi

reply

reply

(Record playing backwards)
Crow: Paul is a dead man. Miss him! Miss him!

Tom: It was made in America, what a piece of junk!

(As police officer directs crowd of panicky Japanese people)
Mike: This way, I want to stack you guys for some reason.

"Hail Nobra!" - Deformed Cobra clone soldier

reply

(Lightning)
Mike: Draw storm!
(Space Chief shoots at the ship, and nothing really happens)
Crow: What the hell'd I do that for?

Man: That shiny object...
Crow: I'd like to put it in my nest.

Servo: You know, Space Chief should actually try going up into space sometime.
Crow: Yeah, he's more like Lower Atmosphere Chief.

- One of my favorite MST3K episodes in the Mike and Pearl era. -

reply

Japanese guy: "It just stopped?"
Crow: "Much like our scene here."

Crow: "A tiny stick! No! Cancel the invasion!"

Mike: "Space Chief is actually Racer X, Speed's brother."

Crow: (as Space Chief is waving from space craft) "Yeah, read between the lines, kids."

Mike: (as spaceships are flying away from destroyed buildings) "Strong letter to follow."

Servo: "Suppository Man!"

Crow: "I'm losing weight as we invade, thanks to my new sauna suit!"

Servo: "Or...or...origami! Well, I like that!"

reply

I don't remember who said this, but:

(as the Neptunians drop the Crispix of Death)
Oh no! They stay crunchy in milk!

<I'll get back on my medication tomorrow, I promise>

reply

Misc. Character: "I'm here."
Servo: "I just had to fix my hair."

Or when some guys are sitting around on the grass, one of them suddenly leans forward and Servo makes a vomiting sound. Perfect timing.

reply

Crow(i think): He's more like Lower Atmosphere Cheif or Barely Off the Stupid Ground Chief

Servo: "I found my record!"
*ship blows up*

reply

"Waaah!"

"Can't get enough Super Sugar Crisp."'

"Wait, I want to jump around while you fall down more."

"He's Crazy!"

reply

Mike: "But we're Japanese children. We can anywhere we want."
(In Movie), Annoying Child: "He's very young." Servo: "And he's Japanese."
Any of the jokes about the music are great too. I think they actually did lift it from Triumph of the Will.

...he saw only a shadow on the waters that was soon lost in the West...

reply

(unexcitedly) "Aaaaaaaaaaah. Aaaaaah."

"Goooooooo Panthers!!"

My favorite: "It's over 200 maaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhs!"

"Get the cane."

"Hey read between the lines, kid."

(imitating the dish moving up and down) "Oh yeah. Oooooh yeah. Uh-huh"

...and the countdown at the end. Crow's frustration is hilarious!

reply

When Space Chief shows up after many scenes of things being blown up:
Kid: Space Chief!
Tom: Space late.

Man: What? The clock's running backwards.
Tom: That means lunch won't be till yesterday!

When the kids find the thing with the message:
Tom: Oh no! You kids again? Is there anyone else on this planet?
(same scene) Mike: It's a nauseating shorts detector.

When the kids are looking into the telescopes:
Crow: I'm looking for dignity but there just isn't any.

Shot of army men running:
Mike: Let's find the children, they'll know what to do.


reply

Crow: (re tubby kid with glasses) This must be the "Piggy" of the group.

I also found it very funny when, during the really Russian-sounding music, Servo just started bobbing up and down going "Hey!" in time like a stereotypical Russian dancer.

<I'll get back on my medication tomorrow, I promise>

reply

Crow: (As annoying kid) Hey, this isn't squid world.

M&TB imitating the three children:
Servo: Do you think so?
Mike: I don't know.
Crow: Perhaps you're correct.

Mike: (as that one lady) I must put on something desent.

Crow: What times are it?

"They took out the Hitler building! Where are going to find Hitler memoribilia now?"

reply

Crow: Does any of these kids have names?

Tom(imitating a voice in the film): Bring all rockets up.

(While all the rockets are rising and there is a really annoying sound playing)Mike: I thought it couldn't get more annoying, thanks movie!

reply

Crow- "I just know Dr. Smith is going to be in this one."

reply

Uh I say we're looking for the bullet head family reunion!

Servo: Surely Mozart and his holy reindeer will come down to save us

Mike: You know, I wish the running would never stop! I mean it. I simply can’t get enough shots of these kids running! No really! Literally, there's no limit to how much I want to see of this!

Servo: The Catacombs of Ancient Legoland

Servo: Run! Work! Run faster! Work harder! Abandon healthy diets! Drink a lot! Never speak to your children! Do not apologize for the war!

Crow: Clouds of toxic porn drift across the city

Mike: You know, I thought I'd never say it, but all of a sudden, Independence Day seems a richly nuanced movie!

[A building explodes]
Mike: Grandpa tries to set his digital alarm clock

Servo: They took out the Hitler building! Where's everybody going to go to see Hitler memorabilia?!
Crow: Oh, the Hitler rides and games! The Hitler salt and pepper shakers!
