I have a smartphone and I was looking for ringtones/alerts. I found an app that I like for tones and decided to look up MST3K, not expecting anything! But I did!! They have “It stinks!,” “Whaddya think sirs?,” Torgo’s theme, some buff names from “Space Mutiny,” and theme songs with Mike and Joel. Which ringtone(s) would people want? Theme songs? Quotes during the movie? Mike, Joel, TV Frank? The list would be endless.
The RiffTrax guys created a bunch a few years ago. I downloaded a few, including “Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew” from their riff of “The Two Towers.” But I currently use the Schnappi theme song as my main ringtone.
So, what ringtones do you have, and what would you want?

Gamera song….
Master Ninja Theme Song!
Punch Rockgroin’s screaming like a girl.
The end credits songs from Werewolf (Tusk!) and Final Justice (meatballs fried in laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard!).
How Bout’…..
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…..if you just take the time to look at it.
Chapman: You’re some guy, Makonnen.
Ha ha ha! Your weapons are useless against me!
So leave a message and I’ll get back to you.
hi kee ba
The person doing the phone ringing noise in “Monster A Go Go”.
Try some of Cowboy Mike’s own Original Red Hot RICOCHET BARBECUE SAUCE!
“But Clay, do you think it might be…bold??”
“Well hell yes it’s bold!! It’s Cowboy Mike’s own Original Red Hot RICOCHET BARBECUE SAUCE!”
Leave a message, after recovering from enjoying Cowboy Mike’s own Original Red Hot RICOCHET BARBECUE SAUCE, and I’ll get back to you.
(It’s not really that bold).
One you probably shouldn’t use as a ringtone would be Tubular Boobular Joy.
“He learned almost too late that man was a feeling creature…..”
I want a ringtone of the alarmingly loud British phone from Projected Man. Wait, no I don’t.
Some sick and twisted person will just have to have “Manos” theme.
And what about “NORMAL VIEW!”
Natalie saying “That’s absolutely incredible” from WEREWOLF.
The “NummyMuffinCocoaButter” song… :-)
“He tampered in God’s domain.”
My Creepy Girl.
Tibby, Oh Tibby.
When Loving Lovers Love.
BTW, you can use iTunes to make your own 30-second ringtones for your personal use (you can Google directions). I did make ringtones of the MST3K closing theme and Torgo’s Theme. With those, there’s never any doubt whose phone is ringing. :-D
OK, now you can make 40-second ringtones.
My ringtone is the godzilla theme music – we used iTunes
I made one from the Gamera song, but it’s the children’s chorus. Also, the first bars of Tom singing Secret Agent Super Dragon, and Master Ninja Theme Song.
One I’d like is Joel’s “It’s Nightmare the Clown, he’s comin’ to your town!” from Monster A-go-go.
My text message sound is “Mitchell!”
My parent’s ringtone is Torgo’s Theme.
My email sending tone is Crow saying “um-de-de-de-he-he: Hoo-ah, Hoo-ah”. Man, I wish I knew what that reference was.
I’d love to have Servo’s bombastic theme song.
When either of my grown kids (both huge MST3K fans — did I raise ’em right or what?) calls, I have a short clip of “Hangin’ Out With My Family” from “Birdemic.” I’d like to get either “Torgo’s Theme” or the closing theme from MST3K as my regular ring tone; just haven’t done it yet.
Probably a ring tone that no one should have is “There’s a mantis in my pantis!”
Great discussion topic!!
I’d want an old-school phone ring, followed by the riff (can’t remember the episode) that went something like “WHAT IS THAT SOUND?!?!?!?”
“He tried to kill me with a forklift” of course.
“Tibby, oh Tibby” would be a contender, as would “Sodium.”
Your annoying sibling(s): “eeeeeeewwwwwww!” or “That square really bugs me!”
Your local confectionery: Rock candy baby your mine!
Your body-building boyfriend: Joel: Oh, looooove Herc.
Unknown callers: He seems like a nice guy … at first!
The music from Danger: Death Ray.
Einstein’s dialog from “Warrior of the Lost World.”
Imagine the looks on people’s faces when one’s ringtone is some angry English woman shouting “The Dog’s Meat. Have you seen it?”.
For a more musical ringtone one could use “Shine Your Love” from “Angel’s Revenge”.
“California LAaaaaaaaDyyyyyyy, she’s the one I want to see…”
I would use as my ringtone Krankor’s laugh, it helps to lifts my spirits. The “Help me” bit from Rocket Attack USA, it’s such a weird moment, even for a psychotronic movie. The “Boink! Boink everybody! Boink!” from Are you Ready for Marriage, the Girl in Gold Boots theme and The Zombie Stomp, because I genuinely like those songs. And last but not least, the jingle from the Wild Rebels’ cereal commercial.
I have the haunting Torgo theme as my ringtone right now, but I’d really like that sick dance music from The Creeping Terror, in hi-fi, of course
Your ex-wife: Get out of here you disgusting wooooorm! (Outlaw)
For the Christmas season: the ‘Little Drummer Boy’ number from TSCWSLABMUZ.
Your Aunt from New York: Mike saying “Hi” in the Fran Drescher-esque voice from the above scene.
Imagine having the villain’s theme from Operation Double 007 as your ringtone… You just let it keep ringing until someone says “uh, sir, your phone is ringing” to which you answer “I know.”
“Stratosphere Boogie” by Jimmy Bryant from the Skydivers.
“Song of the Delta Knights” by the Sir Thomas Servo Consort.
“Some Guys in Space” by Percy Faith and his orchestra from Phantom Planet.
The “Batman” chase music from Girl in Gold Boots.
The fake phone ringing sound in Monster a Go-Go, and Joel saying ‘I don’t believe it’.
I’d also go with the Torgo Theme or maybe Hoyt Axton’s “Mitchell” theme song.
For alerts: “My tires are filled with water!” or “Shtemlo,” or maybe even “GIVE ME BACK MY BEER!” from ‘Future War.’
One of the Gamera movies has a shot of a phone ringing, and Crow says ‘I knew it was going to ring, that’s why I put the camera on it. Good planning.’
I can’t remember which episode, but the phone rings loudly, and Joel and the bots all yell from surprise, adding ‘Don’t do that!’
Go to the 2:44 mark

“Yipes Stripes” from “Teenage Strangler”.
Little Richard’s “Scuba Party” from “Catalina Caper”.
Joel and the Bots doing the “sidehackin'” song from…well, you know.
“Are You Happy In Your Work” from “I Accuse My Parents”.
“My Nuts?”
Krankor laugh would be a good one

“Hey! It’s the Undersea Kingdom for you and for me, and it’s fiiiiiiiiiine!”
“Look! Look! Look at my crotch!”
“I DREEEEEEEEEEEAMPT AT NIGHT, THE MOON WAS SO BRIGHT….”
Or how about Johnny’s phone conversation from the ‘Cheating’ short?
I used to have Torgo’s theme as my ringtone. Once I forgot to turn it off during church and of course someone called me. My daughter had a hard time not laughing through the rest of the service.
Right now I have the Love theme as my main ringtone.
I would like “Sodium” for a ringtone, as well as “Where O Werewolf”
And all the Poopie Suit jokes. Yes, I have immature teenagers.
If you want to discourage having messages left tape part of
(you’d never get the whole thing in) the Number 9! joke told
by one of that magnificent bastard Rommel’s gang.
I’d be interested in “I’m a danger to myself and others”, or Joel’s solo at the end of Pod People (is it Clown in the Sky?) along with Tom’s Anthony Newley impression of the next verse of the song…
To #16. It’s Nummy Muffin COCOL Butter not Cocoa, although I have no idea what cocol is.
Being the tragically anxiety-prone person that I am, I would definitely choose Torgo’s Theme for a ringtone.
Or Tom’s “WHO ARE YOU?!!”
(My shrink and I working on this issue.)
Time for go to bed!
Oh, I forgot all about Mike’s love ballad from The Girl in Gold Boots, complete with Crow’s emergency interjections.
I have the Master Ninja Theme Song as my ringtone. Hearing it go off always makes me smile, which is great because I hate phones otherwise. I keep waiting for the day someone hears it and actually knows where it’s from.
I also have a couple clips from the Secret Agent Super Dragon song for my alert sounds. If someone leaves me a voicemail, it says, “Wai-wait a minute, you mean it just goes on like that?” And if I get a text it says, “WITH BOATS BRM-BRM-BRRRM-BRRRRM!” And yes, I am giggling to myself right now just thinking about it, because I am a ridiculous human being.
“Claydun! …. Claydunnnn!! ….. CLAYdun! ….. Claydun ……. Claydun! … Claydunnnn!! …. [etc.] “
