One caveat: You can do what you want, but I only included phrases that were originated on the show or on a movie they riffed. I did not include any phrases that are actually references to outside sources. Examples: “It is balloon!” “McCloud!!!” “Shakin’ the bushes, boss!” “This is no place for a convertible!” or “This was no boating accident!”
My list, in more or less alphabetical order:
• “Dull surprise!!”–perfect whenever anything completely expected happens.
• “I like coffee…”–and, really, I do.
• “I like it very much!”–Watching an MST3K episode, for example.
• “It stinks!”–the “okay” gesture is required.
• “Join us, won’t we?”–Our official motto, I use it a lot.
• “No dancing. Not allowed.”–whenever you want to be Captain Bringdown.
• “Oh, I hate to shoot a butt like that”–when admiring a certain anatomical part.
• “Rock climbing….”–You’d be surprised how often this comes up.
• “Saaaaaaay!”–The perfect expression when things get late-night and randy.
• “Staaaay!”–It surprises people when I yell it, but I still do.
• “The right people will get it.”–Pretty much the words I live by.
• “Watch out for snakes!”–I live in the country so it’s often appropriate.
• “We’ll just wait here, then, shall we?”–Often used at the mall.
• “Why don’t they look?”–The sad head-shake is required to sell it.
• “Your weapons are useless against me!”–Handy during video games and action movies.

My favorite phrase:
My 8 year old has no interest in “Hannah Montana” (thank goodness) but she LOVES many episodes of MST3K and quotes them often. In “Eegah!”, Eegah hears Arch Hall Jr. singing and says, “What the hell is THAT?” Anyhoo, along comes Bible School and the pastor asks the children (after a parable), “What do you think Jesus was thinking when a crippled man was lowered through the roof?” and my little girl suggests loudly: “WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???”
Saw “The Prince of Space” again, so……
“Truman Capote sent to fight Krankor”.
“Japan, by Marx”.
and also…. the all purpose riff…
“the hell?”
“Master Ninja, will you ever learn?” (Master Ninja II)
“Big McLarge Huge” (Space Mutiny)
“Jump back! Kiss myself!” (Master Ninja II)
“Will someone PLEASE tell the director about compressing time through editing!?” (Lost Continent)
“Sorry about my face!” (Eegah!)
“Tor Johnson as the beast…that’s just smart casting” (The Beast of Yucca Flats)
“Insert Tab A into B Movie” (San Francisco International)
“They were gonna have me be God, but I was too good looking” (San Francisco International)
Joel: Manos…
Crow: …the hands of fate?
Joel (quickly): Yes!
Hello! Thank you! – Gamera vs. Guiron
MIKE! MIKE! MMMMMMMIKE! MIKE! MIKEMIKEMIKEMIKE! – to my friend Mike.
“Hooray for socks”-i use this alot when i’m excited about something.

“
“I thought you were Dale!” “I thought I was Dale!!”
WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!!?
Lots of these sayings are just stuff you say every day without knowing it. Except…I recently watched the “Watch out for Snakes!” one and now I wont stop mumbling it and then laughing. People think Im insane. I wish I had every single MST3K!! There’s still so many I havent seen. Does anyone have that guide to their references? Is it any good?
Im not sure Im quoting it right, but: I say “So….Sex then?” from Touch of Satan…when things get boring or there’s a lull in coversation
“He’ll never touch you, Terry. You’re dirt.” – from Teen-Age Crime Wave
