Today is dedicated to Uranus!
Sorry, Mr Hanna, but I think Pearl was talking about Track of the Moon Beast, if I recall it correctly.
“Coffee doesn’t make you want to kill yourself” Red Zone Cuba
Avaunt, dickweed, and quit my sight.
…or something along those lines.
PACKERS!!! WOOO!!!!
It was probably just how the kid pronounced it, which doesn’t translate into text, but I’ll go with Invasion of the Neptune Men:
“Hoo-RAY for the electro-barrier!”
“And I didn’t steal no bike neither.”
(Although with the double negative that could mean
he did steal the bike).
(Or is it a triple negative)?
I’m huge!
I don’t have anything that hasn’t already been said. I just wanted to relate the experience of watching an episode, hearing a quote and realizing, “Oh, that’s why I say that”. Anybody else?
Watch out for snakes!
“Let’s just go eat!” From Track of the Moon Beast. The look on the cop’s face and Mike’s timing of the riff just make it look like something he would say. The cop’s kind of tired, getting a little impatient, it’s lunch time and he says, “let’s just go eat!”
Ah, Track of the Moon Beast. Completely forgot.
“Brain has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.” To this day my mom and I laugh over it. The timing, along with the “Let’s just go eat” line mentioned above, was perfect. Also:
“I’ll explain the joke more at lunch.”
“Surprise, it was me showing the slides.”
“Now I’m over here.”
“Where did you get that anatomy chart?”
“I see a huge casino!”
And as for a real quote from the movie.
“Paul! Help me, Paul, my foot is stuck!”
I actually think Track of the Moon Beast is one of their best episodes. The movie is horribly funny, the riffs are hilarious and perfectly timed. The host segments are hilarious (Behind the Music parody, the spot on parody of the desert scene). I hope it gets released on DVD on these days.
For now, back to my stew, made with corn, green peppers, chili… onions, uh…
*tap* *tap* *tap* *tap* “Help me!”
From various first season eps, (Commando Cody, e.g.): “Oh, I’d hate to shoot a butt like that!”
“It’s a happy smile, Buzz!” (Mr. B Natural)
“I can not, and yet I must…” (Robot Monster)
“Poor baby.” (The Creeping Terror)
“It’s that nice Hank Green, just dying to take you out.” The Horror of Party Beach
reading comprehension seems to be fading in general….
quotes from the movies that stuck:
“this is where the fish lives.”
“it stinks!”
“it’s a centipede…it’s always been called a centipede.”
So, quotes not riffs, huh? Dang, most of the quotes I remember well are riffs. Including:
“I’m gonna curl up in his sock drawer, and sleep for days!”
“East Man! He came out of the East, to do battle with the Amazing RANDO!!”
“What’s this? Dewlap Man following our heroes??”
#27 The quote about Jethro was from Teenagers from Outerspace about 39 minutes in when Betty and Derek were visiting the professor.
Hercules Unchained:
OMPHALE: “Come sit beside me”
TOM SERVO: “Move your big old leg”
JOEL: “Take the ribbon from my hair”
Girl in Gold Boots:
(A dancer starts dancing off stage away from the other dancers)
MIKE: “D-Donna! Where are you going?”
Cave Dwellers:
CROW: “Dad? Dad? Guy… (Mila sees some skulls) Ew, grody Jodi!”
“…sleeping nose to anus.”
love me some wärwülf.
I don’t think so, when most people think of a Mst3ked movie they remember the riffs, because they were the most memorable things about those movies. When someone asks you about Pumaman, your mind doesn’t jump to the name of Kobra’s henchman, you remember “My name is Pleasance and I’m funky”.
@Chief?McCloud! The joke’s on you. All I read was the thread’s title, which doesn’t specify where the quote must come from. :-P
“That’s ahbsolutely fahcinating.” from Werewolf
I think it whenever someone tells me a long drawn-out story that had absolutely no point.
“Chong, ching, chung, chong!” From The Wild Wild World of Batwoman. There, accurate to the topic’s intent.
:-P
Oh, and, “Za!” From The Touch Satan.
@mikek…yea, reading six lines beneath the thread title can be taxing :-)
you’re of the hook. thanks for the explanation, reading my post, and commenting 8-)
now, back to quotes from MSTed movies that really stuck with you for no reason…or, is it riffs? ?:-)
Ishtar’s gotta love that! (Phantom Planet; after Shelly’s dance)
Too much vapor action! (It Lives By Night; when John freaks out on the ski lift)
@Chief?McCloud!–
Reading comprehension is probably just fine–I prefer to think of it as “liberal interpretation” (as one of the offenders who quoted riffs instead of lines). To make up for it, I’ll add one I do use sometimes–“That square bugs me. He really bugs me!” (Often said about–not to–members of the administration where I work).
‘Course, whaddya do when a line becomes a riff, like “Hi-keeba” or “Watch out for snakes”? There’s some wiggle room, methinks. If it’s funny, it’s all good.
“you know captain, every year of my life, I become more and more convinced, that it’s wisest and best to focus our attention on the good and the beautiful, if we just take the time to look at it.”
“your some guy Maconan”
“jimmy didn’t steal no bike neither”
“your a dummy hugo”
“if you think you can take me, go ahead on, it’s your move”
“Rex Dart is.. Eskimo Spy”
“I don’t care!”
“watch out for snakes!”
just to name a few. (theses quotes are like pringles, i can’t stop)
“It’s the All Idiot Channel!”
“Rex Dart, Eskimo Spy!”
How could I forget those!
Whaddya think, sirs?
Spearhead the committee!
I haven’t read many of the others, but…….’Ready…..mince mince mince mince’ OR ‘Monet in Paris’ OR ‘Follow that dog’ ( ahhh…ruffaroo)’
I kinda like Prince of Space
Of course, had I read many of the others I would have complied with the request……sorry. How’s this ?
‘We like it very much’….use it at least once or twice a week.
I feel better now.
“Jiminy!” thinks Johnny. “Would I like to get a ride in one of those!”
As both a quote and a riff, it is one of my favorites.
“Yer hittin’ the BOOZE!”
“When we return to our home world the high court may well sentence you to TORTURE!!”
“Roger, this is God, pick up the pace!”
“I’m so sleepy I can barely stay awake” — I say that at least once a week.
“You.. are going.. to die! Do you know why? Because I.. am going.. to kill you!” — great during video games.
“Are you happy in your work?
Do you never, ever shirk?”
“Matt, it’s time for you to decide if you’re gonna be one of my team)?”
(Bwaaaaaaaa!
It applies to a number of episodes but I know that if I or my wife do or see some boneheaded manuever or forget something or do something stupid in general, we almost inevitably say: “Oh good one, Nelson!” It now comes out without even being conscious of it!
Prince of Space – “…And another proud civilization dies out. Sometimes. This LOSER civilization however, will not be missed!”
Track of the Moon Beast – “Oh, great. I mean Oh great!”
Hamlet – “You are exactly… WRONG!”
Crawling Eye – “Directed by us!”
Bloodlust – “Yeah, make with the scare, man!”
Johnny at the Fair – “Johnny must have everything for himself.”
Werewolf – “I barely know what a hat is.”
Screaming Skull – “Screaming, Semicolon, Skull.”
(Also) Werewolf – “Joe Pesci’s mother made you weep, how? Uh-ha, are you really a good fella, mm-hm.”
And one that’s actually RiffTrax, Curse of Bigfoot – “The moon is searing my retinas and offering two scoops of raisins!”
People think I have tourettes syndrome and then it’s so hard to explain.
And the crowd goes wild! (yaaaay.)
Cheating is bad. Richard Basehart is good.
Also, don’t know if this one’s been mentioned and I glossed over it, but:
“Let me have one of them there sodey pops.” — from “The Giant Gila Monster”
There are a number of movie lines and riffs that reoccur to me, sticking out in my mind, for no particular reason, and I tend to say them anytime certain situations come up.
If someone does something genuinely impressive, or something whimsical, I tend to say “Trumpy, you can do magic things!” or if it is something intended to be whimsical but that seems stupid to me, I’ll unashamedly proclaim “Trumpy, you can do STUPID things!”
If I get into a lighthearted argument and seem to be losing, or if I get into a sort of play-fight with a friend in which we trade insults just to be funny, I usually close with “YOU GON’ BE DA WORMFACE!” I had to send a link to an online friend the other day to show him the clip to explain this very line when I used it. When he watched it, he wanted to know the plot of the movie. When I explained it, he got very annoyed.
If someone mentions something about The Dangers of Science, “Flag on the moon…how did it get there?” is often my go-to phrase, though sometimes I also throw in “Push a button…things happen.” Both of these I say while trying to do a Clint Eastwood facial expression, for some reason.
When I want to say that it’s going to get dark soon, especially when working on a video shoot and we require natural lighting, I always use Torgo’s “It’ll be dark soon. There is no way out of here. It’ll be dark soon.”
Also, this a riff and not an actual movie line, but anytime I watch a movie and someone wakes up abruptly I feel a compulsive need to yell “AH! FOOTBALL PRACTICE!”
I use Lobos line rather often around the house: “Time for take a shower” or “Time for go to work.”
“You a cheat John ? John what have you done ?” Cheating short
“I saw the little creature.” Boggey Creek 2
“MY GOD!!! WHAT IS IT?” Creeping Terror
“Die. I may die, but I do not care. The child must live.” “Manos”
“I’m not growing. YOUR SHRINKING! Amazing Colossal Man
“Flying Elves Are Back!” And “Die! Die! Die! I mean, Hello” are my two favorites. I’ll occasionally answer the phone with the second one.
I was ordering a sandwich once, and was asked what meat I wanted. I answered, in a Great Vorelli voice, “ah, ham, I LOVE it”. One friend “in the know” laughed, the other just looked at us like wtf?
“Paul is not Paul anymore.” from Track of the Moon Beast. This is applicable to many of the movies we watch.
Rifftrax extra: “Stupid, Stupid man,” from Plan 9 from Outer Space. Also loved the live show in Seattle.
“Idiot in control now,” from Pod People. I know that is not the correct words to the song, but that is what it sounds like and is appropriate to the movie.
“Ham, I like ham. I want ham too,” from Devil Doll. We eat a lot of ham.
Also, “you’re an ugly little dummy.”
“Doctors can’t help her now, maybe angels,” from “The Beast of Yucca Flats.” Used for any situation that has gone beyond control.
“Any unusual experiment my produce unusual results,” from Attack of the Killer Shrews. I have actually used this at work to good effect.
I have also used Joel’s “If you’re like me, and I know I am…”
And the classic from Daddy-O: “Want some?” This is used alot.
I appreciated the mentioning of “I must, but I cannot,” earlier. I use it often when it is time to go to work.
“No dancing. Not allowed.”
“You filthy pig!”
The UNFORGETTABLE…..
“He tampered in God’s domain.”
