I’ll start: … when you can’t look at a forklift without giggling and humming to yourself.

…you see a SIMON game and look around for Trumpy.
J/P=? :-D
…when you walk around aimlessly muttering STEMLO…
I always think SERVO everytime I see a gumball machine.
When you see a chunky guy with a mullet you immediately think of the Canadian backwoods and hooded buddies.
Well, I usually watch 3-4 episodes every day, so I think I qualify as a Mistie.
By the way, any Misties here from the Chambersburg PA area?
Sorry, that should be “Mstie.”
…you think Gene Hackman is good in anything.
…you find yourself pronouncing “TORTURE” as “TOHTCHA!”
…you find yourself shouting “Hi-Keeba!” or “STAY!!” without advance warning.
…you groan loudly whenever someone says “rock climbing”.
…no one will watch a movie/TV show with you because you make snarky comments throughout.
Whenever I see fat people I think of Ring of Terror. Which means I think of Ring of Terror a lot.
… someone gives you the “OK” sign and you consider it an insult.
…I check onto this site at least 3 times a day.
When you have a rotational system for watching MST episodes every Saturday morning.
…you name your ’90 Toyota pickup, “Ortega” and your ’93 Olds Cutlass, “the Feethy Peeg”.
…your family declares their concern about a matter by saying they’re “Joan Kennedy-ing” or “Marisa Tomei-ing”.
…you learn the guitar chords to whole songs such as, “I Like What I Know About You” or at least snippets so that you can properly sing, “ohhh fur-lined bra”.
…you are at the hospital and go to the Neonatal unit looking for Yalloglanchies.
Great thread.
when you still quote the show LOSER ACTOR BOUQUET from Mitchell is my favorite line I use all the time
Next week, I think we should discuss what was the best MST3K movie ever riffed. I think it’s Cosmic Princess because 1. Space 1999 is still liked by some people over here, not because it’s so bad it’s good, but because it’s good. 2. It’s the reason why people still like MST3K. Think about it, at first on KTMA the ratings for MST3K were low but because of this movie the ratings went up, and if the ratings didn’t go up then it would definatly have been cancelled. 3. IT HAS BRAIN BLESSED IN IT!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh:
Brian Blessed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5__VFxOI99E&feature=related
Second place has to go to Gorgo, then the Gamera movies, then Rocketship XM then blah blah blah!
Any time anyone says anything vaguely unrelated to the topic you say, “Yes, and if your hands were made of metal…..”
Whenever you are watching a nature documentary and there is a lion or tiger on you have to say “kitty” like crow would. Works even better if it is a bear, or a bird, or anything non feline.
If you can’t be in a crowd of loudly cheering people without screaming “PACKERS WIN THE SUPERBOWL!! WOOOOOOOOO!!! PACKERS!”
…you’re humming, “Here comes Tom. Wonderful Tom. Glorious Tom Servo!”
Generally just whenever someone says or does something and the first thing to pop into your head is a riff and it makes you smile.
Also, instead of swearing, you say, “Oh, poopie!”
Last one;
…whenever cheerleaders are featured on the screen you cheer “LOOK,LOOK,LOOK AT MY CROTCH!”
…when you go hiking with some buddies, see a bush and jump into yelling “I REGRET NOTHING!”
– When you decide if each bad movie you see is the worst movie you’ve ever seen by measuring it against Manos: Hands Of Fate and Hobgoblins.
– You think comedy shows featuring puppets are the funniest.
– You “hate movies where the men wear shorter skirts than the women.”
– When your favorite insult toward stupidity is “dumber than a bagful of hammers”.
– When someone mentions herring you compulsively ask, “how much does a herring weigh?”
You spend a lot of time trying to remember which movie featured a basket being lowered into a cave, with Crow (imitating Jacques Cousteau) …Deepair, and deepair we descended into ze ocean, ze sea anemones were… (BTW, anyone know the answer? It’s killin’ me)
@7 – absolutely agree!
More…
… when you use “dis iz abzoloootlee fuzinateng” during business meetings, political debates on TV, etc.
… when you riff on major Hollywood movies AT THE THEATER, like saying “And his eyes open!” at the end of Avatar.
… when your daughter borrows your MST3K movies anf takes them to college to get a whole noew MSTie generation started!
. . . When you see a reference to Prince Edward Island, you immediately think of explosions.
. . . When you see crabby older women and think “I just don’t *like* evil Russo-Finnish grandmas.”
. . . When you see a spring, and you know who will be the first to die.
. . . Anything resembling flatulence is met with a reply of “Whoo! Lentils.”
. . . When someone or something has proven hard to find, it’s as elusive as Robert Denby.
. . . When you start seeing motorcycles and wonder if bad mothers were involved.
. . . When mundane things are happening in a show or movie, you exclaim “ba-dah-DAH-DAH!”
. . . Whenever something seems too easy or contrived, you say “Plot Convenience Playhouse presents . . .”
. . . When you’re eating popcorn and start shouting “I’M THE GOD, I’M THE GOD!”
. . . When you see ripped guys and start rattling off a list starting with “Slab Bulkhead.”
. . . When you’re in an odd place or mood, you say “Help! I’m trapped in another dimension!”
. . . When you hear someone refer to the University of Minnesota, you immediately say “I’m Peter Graves . . .”
and last but hardly least
. . . When you see someone in pink shorts and are instinctively repulsed.
… when you can’t type coherently….
…whenever you go to turn something on or off you think “Push the button, Frank.”
…you put “Join us, won’t you?” on your wedding invitations.
…when you’re far more familiar with old B-Movie actors than today’s superstar actors.
– When you see an odd-shaped vegetable you become concerned it might try to conquer the Earth.
– You exclaim “three on one is not much fun” in situations where someone appears outnumbered.
– Padding in any film or TV show immediately makes you think of rock climbing.
– Your opinion of Renaissance Festivals is at least slightly different than it was before seeing MST3K and the appearance of some people makes you want to shout, “huzzah!” or “take that you satin-suited, Tolkien-reading loser!”
– When someone does something nice and is seemingly punished rather than rewarded for it you say mournfully, “I gave up my hat, now I’m the jerk.”
– You visit this site frequently and something reminds you of MST3K pretty much every day of your life, usually multiple times.
– Not a day goes by that you don’t quote something or refer to something from MST3K at least once.
– When the air is bad somewhere you think of suggesting that people “start breathing in shifts.”
– All transparent bubble topped items become a Tom Servo reference.
– Tor Johnson is one of your favorite actors.
– You know that Plan 9 From Outer Space is not even close to being the worst movie ever made because at least it’s fun to watch.
– You know not to judge a movie’s suitability for family viewing by watching only the first 20 minutes.
– Something that leaves you speechless is “like being hit in the back of the head with a surfboard of flavor.”
…you show “A Case of Spring Fever” to the high school physics class you’re teaching
when covering the concept of elastic potential energy.
you start ripping on everything that you see in MST3K style.
Sorry, I can’t reply to this thread. I am too busy watching out for SNAKES!
…you greet people with “Eh then, eh?”
…something makes you mad, MEAN MAD!
…you end your cell calls to the ‘mrs’ with “Madly do I love you, with great passsion!”
Also I’m from New Franklin, PA now living in Maryland.
Any time you see a film or picture of Joe Don Baker
you have to blurt out:
“You think you can take me. Go ahead on!”
Btw, anybody got a nice, tall glass of milk? Or a maalox?
Good grief. It’s a running gag! :cow:
Oh, and you have a phobia about traveling in a desert
because of a fear of being caught in a SANDSTORM
and suffering DEEP HURTING!
You always appreciate it when “Detective Exposition” and “Officer Plotpoint” show up.
For me, it’s singing the wrong lyrics to tunes, particularly if it’s not that good a match, a la “Everybody…was…kung…fu…fight-ing…” and “Really love your peaches wanna shake your tree” in Once Upon a Honeymoon.
When you riff on people, standing right in front of you, during everyday conversation.
I’ve done it.
…when your screen name for internet forums (not just this one) is based on an obscure reference from a 20-year old MST3K episode.
BTW, anyone remember which episode mine comes from?
– when you give the ‘okay’ symbol followed by saying “It stinks!”
– if you nearly creamed in your pants to hear “Master Ninja” 1 & 2 is coming to Shout DVD.
– when you hear “A friend of all children” reminds you of Gamera and not of Michael Jackson.
…you sing the praises of pants.
…You know the name of a movie someone remembers a scene from, then can find it on your hard-drive to locate the specific moment.
For example:
Steve #25: “…which movie featured a basket being lowered into a cave, with Crow (imitating Jacques Cousteau)…”
113 – Black Scorpion. Around the 53 minute mark.
You spend time with friends contemplating who could build the best hang glider with the least amount of most primitive materials.
There’s a feral cat who hangs around our house. It took me & the neighbor months to catch her, and when we finally caught her & took her to the vet to get fixed & get her shots, I named her Roberta Denby.
Also, turning to my wife & remarking, ‘You know, there are certain flaws in this movie.’
…whenever someone lets out a startled yell, you follow it with “HE TOOK MY PURSE!”
… you want to decorate a bar stool for the holidays.
When I see a man and his son shopping together, I think of Servo saying: “Like father, like son. Think about it. Wont you?”
