Weekend Discussion Thread: Most-Used Catchphrases

Posted by Sampo, on July 12th, 2008

Several people suggested this one: Favorite MST3K catchphrases that have crept into your everyday conversation. I could only get my list down to 15. There are a LOT more.

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.

What are yours?
