Weekend Discussion Thread: Riff or Line as a SloganYes, it’s another topic from Sue:
I’m expanding this to include anything they said on the show, including during host segments. Mine, for a long time, has been: “I’ve undergone a complex personal evolution wherein painful confusion has given way to what I like to think of as some degree of wisdom culminating in my current Zarasthustrian sense of self. Is that it?” What’s yours? 151 Replies to “Weekend Discussion Thread: Riff or Line as a Slogan”Commenting at Satellite News

“I am the button!”
Considering the current state of my life:
“What kind of sin could a man commit in a single lifetime to bring this upon himself?”
“I don’t care!”
“You do it, I’m bitter.”
From Horror of Party Beach after Professor Dad asks the Hero to call every chemical supply company in the area: Mike(as hero): “No, don’t want to…”
After meeting someone it’s always nice to say “You have no idea how delightful your life’s about to become!”
“He ran all the way to hell. With a penny and a broken cigarette.”
You and [other person] is in it for fame and fortune? But over my dead body. I actually find myself using some of the writing jokes from Werewolf as well. (“It’s economical to just film things and not have a plot” works really well when talking about the Transformers films.)
“check it out… he’s got a killer radio!”
“Pay attention to that man behind the curtain, for he is your ally.”
– Dr. Forrester’s Guides to Life (Gamera vs. Gaos?)
And not for myself, but every time I see something painfully and overbearingly “quirky” (okay, how many are throwing protests that the mean old Oscars didn’t nominate the Lego Movie for Best Picture?) I can never philosophically sum it up better than Servo’s “Ohh, the humor….The humor…” (Rebel Set?)
From Robot Rumpus: ” Closeups reveal the weakness of the whole premise.”
Flag on the moon..how did it get there??
Shut up Iris…
Thanks, robot from the future!
(Time Chasers)
Slogan for a misanthropic believer in reincarnation:
“Unfortunately, we’ll be right back!”
(Joel, “Manos”)
They tampered in God’s domain.
Well, I suppose that could have gone better.
If you’re like me, and I know I sure am…
Or if you’re like my family you can just use it in the literal sense. We have a lot of snakes around here and usually have some living in our front bushes. We use it so much we have people who have no idea what it’s from using that line so it is definitely my slogan.
Nobody gets me. I’m the wind, baby.
“This will simplify everything.”
“It was locked for a reason!”
“You are one spooky chick.”
“Here’s something”
“Of course you could say that about anything.”
I’m 33 and have been a fan since 12. My internal monologue is MST3K. I’ve significantly cut back on verbalizing that monologue as I’m now an army officer and have to maintain a certain decorum, but I often think to myself:
“The answer my friend is blow it out your ass”
and
“Well wupty-****” is often applipicble in my life.
also “this makes the army look good” from Why Study Industrial Arts
“Kegs will be tapped, men will used.” from ‘the Home Economics Story’
I also like,
“Well he’s great in bed and he likes to get high.” from ‘Is this love?’
MOVIE SIGN!
“How fortunate! This will simplify everything!”
I use it any time my wife offers to assist me with a chore.
“Everything he touched, he destroyed.”
It’s kinda true. I’m not handy AT ALL.
Oh, no question, after my third trip through grad school:
“To be like the hu-man! To laugh! Feel! Want! Why are these things not in the plan?”
“Hunted…despised…living like an animal”. I can see it on a t-shirt now.
“Get on your orange and yellow knees and kiss my clown feet that I haven’t killed you!!!”
Also, Crow’s advice to “Crush someone with an emotional word or an enigmatic look!” has come in handy more often than I care to admit…
They should put Servo yelling “SLEEEEEEEEEEP” in any commercial for over the counter sleeping pills.
“What kind of s**thole planet is this?!” — Tom, from “The Movie”
“Light and get away.” — Crow, “The Undead”
“And that’s all the foreshadowing we can afford right now.”
809 – I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF
“I like Jell-O.” – restrauteur Al Frazer as quoted by Tom Servo
“You’re bumming me out!” – Joel as Carol from Amazing Colossal Man. Whenever I see a depressing story on the news I think that to myself.
I don’t fink on soul-brother!
From ‘Werewolf”, “That’s ahbsolutly fahsacnting”
“Well, I’ll do a little pinch hit, pop in some Deep Purple, and get this secret government project on the road…Turkeys, ho!”
From ‘Riding With Death’
My wife and I regularly find a reason to say “I’m declaring this national our day,” from BEGINNING OF THE END.
And along the same lines (from SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL), “My job, my way.”
“I cannot, yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do must and cannot meet? Yet I must. But I cannot!”
That sounds like an excellent reason to move.
“There will still be a clown in the sky for me.”
and
“Football practice!” That one’s only philosophical when you consider that I’ve never played football.
Both from the same MONSTER A-GO GO segment mentioned previously:
“What’s not to get? I just am, I hang out.”
“…I often panic while making sandwiches.”
DEEP HURTING.
Oh yeah, let’s not forget:
“Gentle pressure.”
“TOR-CHA”
“Oh so now I’m the jerk, it couldn’t be your crappy rocket.”
“People don’t mean to be annoying. It’s just that they’re all screwed up inside.”
“That’s not good. I’ve seen good before and it didn’t look anything like that.”
I know I’m only supposed to pick one, but there are so many that are so good it’s like eating potato chips. I can’t have just one.
“Hey, I touched her boob, you guys, I’m not a virgin anymore!”
“Put your helmet on. We’ll be reaching speeds of 3.”
“How’s that suit ya, fancy-pants?”
“I have no regrets”!! And whenever me or the wife are making a cocktail..” You hittin the booze again”??
I’m an icky elf. :D
“Here today, gone tomorrow, Schick-out-of-shape… you know!”
(Incredibly Strange Creatures…Mixed Up Zombies)
I find that lines from the potato scene in “Pod People” work in numerous situations: “So nice…” “Where do I start? It all looks so good…” “It’s a whole buffet…”
From Future War, the halfway house for huge guys:
May your road be paved with sausages.
