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!

These were both by Servo:

"Club Scum, huh? Then why are there lunch ladies serving tator tots back there?"

And,


(After Road Rash shoves Kevin back into his cafeteria-looking seat at the club, telling him to stop interrupting the show)

"Drink your milk and finish your peas."

"Hobgoblins.
Hobgoblins.
What do you get with Hobgoblins?
Hobgoblins over here.
Hobgoblins over there.
Hoooobgoblins are everywhere."

That and...

"Jump back! Kiss myself!" (also used in Monster A Go-Go in chapter 11, about 35-36 minutes in.)

I strangled the life out of her. It was the greatest thrill of my life...

Hi, this post is from 2004, right? Well you guys didn't have Youtube then. Did any of you know that someone has posted the MST3K spoof entirely onto Youtube?

Without MST3K, the movie would be much less entertaining. The film's bad because it won't be comedy and it won't be horror, and it won't be parody. When you have characters running to a van, which then rocks from the suggested sex acts going on, that's a very Mexican movie kind of outcome--except Mexican films know when a joke's a joke.

Things that are bizarre in the film:

Why does Kevin fight with the guy on the lawn at all? Only a total wimp would care what his girlfriend thought. Besides this, they're already dating so
what purpose does proving manhood have exactly?

Why does the phone sex operator do all the voices. Isn't that kind of weird?

The creatures only kill people by getting them to live out fantasies (which is a long-time, cool idea in cinema) so why exactly do the creatures wrestle, scare and "fight" with potential victims--especially not harming anyone, drawing any blood, or ripping any clothing? um..aren't they sorta small?

The Rambo guy happens to have a grenade in his van which doesn't kill the creatures, then another grenade blows up at Club Scum which ignites someone standing up and walking around. The same guy then rejoins the cast showing no injuries, even though he uses crutches. Would absurdist Beatles director Richard Lester want to use these kind of shots too?

The Hobgoblins song, of course!

"Hoooobgoblins! Hooooobgoblins!
What do you do with those hoooobgoblins?
They're over here!
They're over there!
Those darn hobgoblins are everywherrrrre!
So let's all sing the hobgoblins song..... today!"

And the incredibly realistic dialogue that follows (from the cardboard cutouts of Mike, Crow and Tom):

"Look, here comes one now!"
"Uh oh, something's sure going to happen..."
"Watch out, you little doodad!"

"Well, we sure have learned some important lessons about hobgoblins today."


What's giving you the sads, doll?

Mike: Oh it just happened. Did you see that? The hose outacted him

Servo: (describing Fantazia) She's the kind of girl you bring home to meet Mother, if Mother's a cigaretty retired hooker

Mike: (as Kevin attacks a hobgoblin) Oh, big man, you strangled a plush toy

Servo: (as the group enters Club Scum) Now this scene really makes me want to go clubbing... the director of this film! Where is he?

[A man in a gray uniform walks along with a loud crunching]
