TOUCH OF SATAN-
“This is where the fish live.”
“I killed that fat barkeep!”
I don’t know why, but it would have to be the rift (does that count as quote), from “The Day the Earth Froze.” When “Lemonkinen” (or however you spell the name) is riding the log down the river and Joel sings, “Let’s go Surfin’ now, even Sven is learning how.” I’ve been singing that one to my youngest, since she was old enough to walk. (and she’s 14 now)
Other than that, all I can say is “He learned almost too late that man is a feeling creature… and because of it, the greatest in the universe. He learned too late for himself that men have to find their own way, to make their own mistakes. There can’t be any gift of perfection from outside ourselves. And when men seek such perfection… they find only death… fire… loss… disillusionment… the end of everything that’s gone forward. Men have always sought an end to the toil and misery, but it can’t be given, it has to be achieved. There is hope, but it has to come from inside, from Man himself.”
Dooooo Dooooo DA DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Koo-ee-tara!
High!
High!
Oh yeah, and I would also like to add: Hai-KEEBA!
Rowsdower: Go to hell!
Crow: Or at least Edmonton!
Makonnen: You know, Captain, every year of my life, I grow more and more convinced that the wisest and best is to fix our attention on the good and the beautiful…
Crow [as Chapman]: Don’t hit him…
Makonnen: …if you just take the time to look at it.
Chapman: You’re some guy, Makonnen.
There are several, and, I am going to post them as the week goes along. First, from Hamlet- “I will slit his throat in a church”
Too many to list, and they are all random ones:
Toupee and Greyweave, they’re cops!!
I’d say he has…oh 15 cents in his pocket.
That’s why we have a picture of Gene Pitney on the mantle.
We’re the special unit…HELLOOOOOOOO!!!!
Shoot first, ask Christian Slater.
Night on Butt Mountain…Yeah come up here where it’s really obscene!!
How do you like your Scotch? Uh by the quart!!
So it takes them 13 hours to drive from Torrance to Long Beach
The rare male cameltoe!!
A child’s introduction to jazz…tootie toot toot, tootie toot toot!!
But we didn’t have the poopie suit.
I love a man with a sweaty butt…Our job, spray talc on that man’s butt!!
I will post more later, like I said I get a kick out the lesser known random riffs more so than the usual!!
And of course there’s the existential question which
continues to bedevil philosophers:
Is a plate of sauerbraten and a picture of Tawny Kitaen
the perfect example of the Good and the Beautiful?
“Plenty of lip and tongue action!”
The big fat Russian soldier in Invasion U.S.A.: “Now you are my woman!”
“Flag on the Moon…how’d it get there?” (Coleman Francis in The Beast of Yucca Flats (#621))
“Get ready to shove off.” “You shove off!”
“Diarrhea is a storm raging inside you.”
“Definitely acceptable losses.”
“I can’t get this thing back in my pants, Earl.”
“Is that stud coming?”
“STAAAY!”
An acceptable mix of quotes and riffs, I hope… :-)
“Keeps freshness in, can’t keep Mitchell out”
YOU GONNA BE THE WORM FACE NOW! from Squirm
I find myself compulsively impersonating one of the Krankor henchmen from Prince of Space on a daily basis: “Huuunnnnhhh?”
“Time for go to bed.” Use it every time I’m overly tired. Atleast once a week.
I second the Peter Graves speech, and even have it on a shirt. Otherwise, Mitchell yelling “Buzz off, kid!!!” and Fist Slabcheese yelling “Let’s get out there and KICK SOME ASS!!!” both bring a smile to my jaded face. Oh, and “Sargassam!” all menacing-like whenever I watch a movie that suddenly makes no sense.
SLEEEEEEP!!!
The Final Sacrifice:
“Give me your lunch money.”
“Morning, Larry.”
“I made you some trail mix outta rat droppings and hair.”
“I wonder if there’s Beer on the Sun.”
“My glee club will be looking for me.”
Lazerblast:
“Stephen Stills and Bill Gates.”
“I’m gonna drink the he’ll outta this Coke.”
“Look, just because that mine went off in your helmet…”
“After all that, it’s ‘Pa-pa-pow’.”
Soultaker:
“Blattalie!”
“Shut up! Zep is never wrong, man! Wait, does that mean Sabbath’s wrong, too?!”
“Whoa, that took my soul, right there!”
“Man that guy’s got a small face.”
There’s just so many, but those were just some off the top of my head.
“You’re mad-mad the whole lot of you!” One day I had that quote going through my head and I knew it was from something I had seen a bunch of times and after a couple hours it finally dawned on me that it was from Manos.
“You Scum!” Prince of Space
“Corn, chicken, green peppers, . . .” Track of the Moon Beast
“You think you can take me? Go ahead on.” Final Justice
“Texas, Just a speck?!?” Rocketship X-M
“And here we see some moo cows.”
I also second, “Time for go to bed.”
“None of your lip, Judy.”
“I’m very concerned for your wallaby (well-being)” – Natalie, from Werewolf
“Jestering is grueling!”
For the longest time I thought Gypsy was saying “Kill yourself”. It was weird. Also, Crow saying “Jethro wants to be a rock star” stuck with me but I don’t know why or which experiment it’s from.
“wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one piles up first”
“can I just remind you to bite me?”
“not everyone is Steve!”
“I anticipated your complaint!” -A Case of Spring Fever, when Coily first pops up to torture that doughy guy.
“Down, down, down.”
“It’s fun when there are things.”
“Did you sign Sherrie’s Birthday card?” — Space Mutiny
(OK sign).. “It stinks.” — Pod People
“Get your knee up, boy.” — Giant Gila Monster
Whenever my wife does something to annoy me, I use a riff from “Werewolf”: “You is a jerk!”
“There is no way out of here. It will be dark soon. There is no way out of here.” “Manos” The hands of fate.
“I’m Cherokee Jack.” Red Zone Cuba.
“Snap it to a Slim Jim.” Boggy Creek 2
“Sorry about my face.” Eegah
By this time my lungs were aching for air.
I sing whenever I sing whenever I sing….
Watch out for snakes.
Today is dedicated to Uranus…
How about “Watch out for snakes” and “DEEEEEP HURTING!”.
“Sort this, deliver that, I’ll make ’em all pay.”
I’m not a mailman, I swear.
I don’t care!
From Prince of Space, “Again, you’re weapons have no effect on me.” This line or a closer version was said about 3 or 4 times during the movie.
tHE MAsTeR wOUlDn’T aPpRoVe.
Oh, bite me. It’s fun.
I’M HUGE!
PUMA!…… PUMA!
Have to agree with Ang on the quote from Manos. Also, from the same actress-“Your power fails you!” Now that I’m thinking, also gotta throw in Captain Joe-“Hahahahahahahayou’re stuck here!!!”
To this day my mom and I will be talking about someone either in a movie or real life and refer to the line “That guy has a ball of pain inside” from The Crawling Hand.
You dirty feelthy peeeeeg.
STAY!!!!!!
JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
I would like to reiterate that final badly played horn section after Peter Graves speech in “It Conquered the World.”
Dooo Doooo Da DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :)
From Prince of Space:
“I’m gonna tell ’em it was your idea.”
“uh-hum”
(Servo: so if we get busted, it’s your ass, m-hm)
“Meanwhile, in another movie,” or some variant thereof, is one of my regular riffs when watching a film on my own or with friends.
Endless amounts of MST3K quotes have stuck with me and crop up in my everyday conversations. It’s safe to say that the show has indelibly influenced my vernacular. (Like the word “vernacular”, which always makes me think of “The Painted Hills” now.)
– “Not a joke, but an incredible simulation!” It’s from “The Giant Spider Invasion”, and it’s amazing how much mileage I get out of it. Not only do I use it on other people’s bad jokes, but I use it to save one of my own if it bombs.
– “Words just stopped coming!” This is actually not from an episode, but from the second Poopie tape. Anytime someone just stops in the middle of a sentence, out it comes.
– All those decidedly Midwestern terms like “dickweed”, “feeb”, and “deese”, not to mention the Brains’ odd mispronunciation of “karaoke” as “karokey”. Considering I write and draw a comic strip that’s set in Minnesota, knowing the local lingo really comes in handy.
And I’m sure I could think of more. Let’s just say I get a lot out of this show. :)
