Best MST3K quote during Hobgoblins


This is by far my favorite movie ever spoofed on MST3K. The humour, the sarcasm, the pure f&^* you attitude that Crow and crew show this movie is just priceless. So with that in mind, I have to list a few of my fav quotes from this masterpiece of an MST3K ep!

Crow: "We are in hell right? I mean now when we meet people, we can tell them we have ACTUALLY been to hell"

Crow: "Can you catch a venerial disease from a movie"?

Tom (I believe): "Oh! They brought David Mamet in to punch up the script"

Mike: "Ah! An hour into the movie, and finally some Hobgoblins"

Tom (again I believe) singing along to music in the movie):"It's the '80's! Do alot of coke and vote for Ronald Regan"


Oh this movie is sooooo bad it is unbelievable! But the MST3K episode is priceless!

reply

"Look, even the car wants out of this movie."

reply

And to be followed up with the other classic line......."and in an unforseen tragedy, the actors were not in the car at the time of the accident"

"Was this the movie where they said: "I will never be able to hurt this movie the way it hurt me?"

I'm not sure to be honest. I'll have to pop the video in to check it out. I know it is an MST line....just not sure what ep it's from.

reply

Was this the movie where they said: "I will never be able to hurt this movie the way it hurt me?"
No, that is Night Train to Mundo Fine

reply

I think it's safe to say the only way to watch this movie is through MST3K. Otherwise I'd consider it a form of masochism.

First off, the first quote was actually Tom Servo, as was the second quote. The third was Mike. The last quoate was Mike again.

But... I digress, just get em right man.

reply

Sorry man, I was just going off my memory and I didn't have the tape handy to watch it. But, I digress, thank you for correcting me

reply

During the epic rake fight scence (sarcasm), Mike points out:

Mike: "See right there, did you see that?"

Servo: "What?"

Mike: "At the moment the hose out acted him. (

reply

Actully, the "I want to hurt this movie, but I can never hurt it the way it hurt me" line was from Red Zone Cuba, but I think it fits this movie as well.

Anyways, my fav lines are.

*After the old guy blows up the vault*
Servo: It was supposed to open the van door!
Mike: Whoops.

Crow: In an unforseen tradgey, the two actors were not in the car at the time.
Servo: Damn!

Old guy: Theres been an accident down here in the studio.
Crow: We made Hobgoblins.

reply

Old guy: Theres been an accident down here in the studio.
Crow: We made Hobgoblins.

Haha. I just watched the montage on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9TWwqqELt4) and I was crying after that one.

reply

Crow: The rakes are making little casio noises.

My favorite MST3K quote:

Someone's mocking the old security guard:

Luckily, all I wanted was a good thermos..

reply

One I can't make out very well, but the way it was delivered was hilarious, when the army guy makes his first appearance and honks his horn, Servo yelps out something like "lotsaaaa fiiiish!" <== Was it that? It's still hilarious

reply

He says:

"Freeeeeeesh fiiiiiiish!"

I guess it's a reference to the old fish trucks that would drive around and blow their fancy horns to signify they were in the neighborood. Kinda like the Ice Cream Truck and it's music.

reply

Thank you!

reply

I don't know why this made me laugh like it did, but I think this is one of my favorite quotes from movie!

During woman talking on the phone scene

Servo : Hey look there it's my mom (referencing to the gumball machine)

(later in the scene after woman talks about zookeeper and beastmaster)

Servo: Mother get out of there please!


I also think it's funny how they keep showing a car pulling into a parking lot and servo says Ok that's 30 times now, I've been counting.

Just my faves..

reply

I laughed hardest when that pansy was arguing with his girlfriend and Crow said something like "Ok, grab a rake! Let's go!"

"It's a big rock.....Can't wait to tell my friends, they don't have a rock this big."

reply

"Paint my muscle car prune color please!"

"Ohh, terrible movie, at least it was short."
"No, these are the opening credits"
"What?!"

"Heh, that's Buttcrack!"

reply

McCreedy: (the old security guard speaking to Kevin): There is one other thing.
Tom: You'll have to know you'll have to apply a series of ointments to me regularly.

Kevin: I wish Amy could have been here to see what I just did!
Mike: I shot a starter pistol and whined out another line!

reply

One of my favorites is when the crazy blonde in the tight leopard ensemble shows up and they're like, "It's Robert Plant!" mainly because I was already thinking it. :P

My absolute favorite thing in the movie though, is how the guy jumps on a grenade and presumably blows up, yet shows up later on crutches with a bandage on his head. wtf?!

reply

stop it already!!!!! you guys are killing me. i never saw this episode but i loved the show so i can pretty much here them speaking. got to say that i preferred joel, but the bots are funny as shi**. now i gotta try and find this cuz i don't receive that show anymore. one of my favorite skits in between movies was a spoof of spam and space called "SPACOM" the show was freaking hilarious.



GET *beep* FOUR EYES!!! WHY DON'T YOU GO AFTER HER, YOU LOVE HER SO MUCH!!

reply

this episode will be out on dvd early next year as a part of vol.8 of the mst3k box set along with monster-a-go-go and a couple of others by the way does remember mike and the bots walking out and replacing themselves with cardboard cutouts? that was very funny. they even tried to sing a hobgoblins theme song without much success.

reply

Crow: Part of me is laughing. The part that hates life

I think it was mike who said: If they just let go, they {hobgoblins} would fall to the floor.

And I think it was Tom who said the worst thing that can happen is one of those plastic eyes pops out and he chokes on them

reply

Kevin pushed the Dana Gould-punk and Servo imitates stripper music: "Wah-wah-wah-oh..."

Also when the old guy pulls out the gun and Mike says, "Used it to kill Archduke Ferdinand..."

reply

Slutting's fun isn't it?

reply

haha, when they were in the cafe or whatever it was, and the one kid is throwing grenades and crap, and they hide under a table. Then, a hobgoblin comes under the table with them and just looks around at them and Crow goes:

"Call for Rick... anyone here named Rick"
One of the gang chokes the hobgoblin to death
Crow: "Was it something I saiiiidd....."


Orrrrr, right as they started the epic rake battle, one of em (Crow or Tom) says

"Choose your garden weasel"

reply

I liked "Slutting's fun", along with "Get out of here with your stupid care and concern!" (or something to that effect, when nice girl is putting a coat over slut girl's shoulders)

reply

It's been a loooong time since I saw this episode, but I remember that line!!! 'Do a lot of coke and vote for Ronald Regaen!'

I sang that to my sister all day and I annoyed her greatly.

"There are no happy endings because nothing ends." - The Last Unicorn

reply

My favorite parts were always when the hobgoblin puppets appeared behind the cast members without their knowing it, and Mike or the 'bots would say what it looked like the hobgoblins were saying.

"Yep, yep, that's it, that's what happened, uh-huh . . ." (the hobgoblin that was nodding)

"Phone call for Rick. Is one of you guys named Rick?" (as someone already pointed out)

reply

This is my first post ever, but I love MST3K (what movie lover doesn't?) and I believe that this is probably the worst movie that they've ever seen (from Mike and the bots' point of view).

That's because even though it's been awhile since I saw this episode, Mike and the bots were desperate enough to set up cardboard cut-outs of themselves during the movie and try to escape. Classic moment.

reply

If you dig into the archives, I think "Manos" is still worse, because so little happens so often.

reply

How about the lines...
Tom: (As beginning credits start)"Hey the end credits, horrible movie but at leaste it's short"
Mike:"No these are the beginning credits"
Tom: "Oh well then kill me please"

Mike: (At beginning when Mr.Mcready is showing the dweeby security guard around) "He's really my mentor. He showed me how to truly love a woman from accross the street, through a telescope".

When the band is singing "Pig sticker" or whatever it was, Tom says some funny lines to the melody of the song like: "Let me tell you about our 3 specials tonight", "While I'm up here let me point out the restroom", "Don't park in the ally or you'll get towed"

Roadrash: "My bike's right outside"
Mike: "Yeah, it's a ten speed"

Slutty twig girl: (When boyfriend enters) "Everybody have sex tonight" to Wang Chung's "Everybody Have Fun Tonight"
Tom:"Everybody throw up tonight"
Crow:"Ironcally no-one in the band Wang Chung had sex that night"

When the two main losers are rake fighting
Mike: "Wow the suspense is killing me. Will they water their lawn?"

When the hooker shows up
Tom: "Mike if I run out of vomit can I borrow some of your's?"

When the slutty twig girl asks where Rick is and a hobgoblin attacks her
Tom: "Who is this Rick? Is there another man in your life?"

Roadrash: (In front of club)"Okay, youre all friends of Daphnie's?"
Crow: "Youre complete scum get in here."

When Rick's van first pulls up to the house
Mike : "Scram it's the owner of the house, we have to shoot this movie somewhere else."

slutty twig girl: "Ricks been away at Army training camp for 2 months and you know what a man wants after 2 months"
Rick: (While girating his croth)"Whohoooo"
Tom:" Belly-dancing lessons?"

Club announcer:(when girl is stripping)"Well, is she a hit or a miss?"
Roadrash: holds up sign saying "Hit"
Crow: "They should really add an S to that"
Tom: "This is the type of girl you take home to meet mother, if mother is a cigaretty retired hooker".

When camara zooms in on rowdy crowd at strip club
Tom:"The lesser Kennedies out on the town"

When the fruity announcer and the huge haired waitress start to make out
Crow: "I can't tell who's getting the worse of it here"

Fruity announcer at club: "Oh, Im sorry the donkey mud wresters have to use the rear entrance"
Tom: "Well youre the expert at that"

Mr Mcready: "Come on it's time to make our rounds"
Mike: "Oh,theyre doctors."

When Kevin sees Mr. Mcready get grabbed by burglar
Mike: "I don't like the old guy getting killed channel"

As burglar puts Mr.Mcready in head-lock
Mike: "I didn't like the way you greeted me at Walmart"

When hobgoblins are trying to escape the house and the characters are holding door shut from outside
Tom: "Look we'll take your literature but we're really trying to watch our show now"

When slutty twig girl is standing outside
Crow: "Is that a praying mantis in a party dress? Oh wait it's her"

When slutty twig girl enters the house looking ragged and beat up after fighting a hobgoblin
Crow: "After my date with Prince, I went right home"

Man I loved this episode, if any episode deserves to be on DVD it's this one. Here's hoping that they do release this one in a box set next year

The old security guard is showing the guy around:
"Now let me tell you about my problematic urethra."

reply

lets not forget the old security guard showing the main loser around and Tom saying "You should know you'll have to apply a series of ointments to me regularly".

When evil hooker pushes car over a cliff while wearing tight spandex
Crow:"That's not a woman that's David Lee Roth".

the old security guard showing the first jerk around
Tom:"He's the abusive grampa I never had"

reply

Tom: "Mike, if I run out of vomit can I borrow some of yours?"

During the garden rake fight scene:
Mike: "Yeah I would've switched to the weed wacker by now"
Crow: "Throw miricle grow in his eyes!"
Mike: "Wheewh, Jezz the tension! I mean WILL they water their grass?"
Mike: "There! Did you see that? The hose just out-acted him"

When the Hobgolbins attack them on the couch
Crow "Ah! Someone's rubbing puppets on us!"
Tom "If you just let go they'll hit the floor."

When Nick runs from the attack to his van.
Mike: "Ah, so Nick's in the French army."

After the Hobgolbin attack, and they seem unusally lethargic.
Mike: "What did they split a keg of Robitussin?"

When the slightly feminine greeter at Club Scum says: "Oh I'm sorry, but the donkey mudwrestlers are supposed to use the REAR ENTRANCE."
Crow: "Well you're the expert on that.."

Tom: "Hey look! That guy tipped his own table over... He did it again!... and yet again!"

When Nick bursts into flames like the Human torch.
Mike "My fajita plate was really hot and I touched it!"
Crow: "It's OK guys, luckily I wore my flame suit and jellied my skin today. No problem.."

Again, during the infamous garden tool fight between Nick and Kevin when Crow says:
"Did ya know that Nick went on to play.....pong in his underwear while drinking beer?"

reply

Lets not forget the time when Daphne as a stripper says "Take me under your table and make me..."
Tom: "Prop up the table leg if it's uneven"

When at club scum the camara shows a bunch of low-lives enjoying the strip show
Mike: "This is the perfect place to have your kid's birthday party"
Tom: "This must be poetry night"

When the old security guard and the first assistant are walking through the hall at the beginning,
Tom: "I just want to measure and see if you'll fit in the insinerator"

When the original assistant enters the vault and the hobgoblins make weird growling noises,
Mike: "David Crosbey is in there eating"

When the original asistant thinks he's on stage singing and falls off the stage to his death,
Mike: "He's already got Loverboy beat as a live act"
Crow: "He tried to crowd surf but no-one wanted to touch him"

When the main loser tells Roadrash that Daphne "has never been on the back of a motorcycle because she's terrified of them "
Crow: "She's also afraid of lightbulbs"

When the army guy goes nuts with his uzi replica gun,
Tom: "My T-shirt was close, I could smell it."
Crow: "Anyone want to see my cordless power drill?"

When the hooker shows up in tight sandex and the horney jerk is impressed,
Mike: "That is exactly what I want to look like"
Crow: "Its Robert Plant"

When the main loser is getting beat up in his fight with the criminal,
Daphne: "Kevin stop before he kills you"
Crow: "Or after he kills you would be fine with me"

We really need to make a petition for this episode to be released on DVD soon, it was definitely one of the best and most memorable episodes.
