…Wait — are we still doing “summing up the movie?”
From Hamlet – “Whatever!”
From Blood Waters Of Dr. Z:
Black Cop: “Well, in your language…”
Mike: “Honkien”
Black Cop: “…Pollution.”
lllladies…
From Outlaw:
Cabot: I care for her and she cares for me and we’re free to express it.
Crow: Naked.
Posture Pals
Narrator: “Even Bombo reminds her.”
Servo: “…’Bombo’??”
Jungle Goddess
Radio news: “Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, and I quote his exact words:”
All: “‘HELLLLLLLP!'”
War of the Colossal Beast, as Mrs. Manning tries to reawaken Glen:
“Remember THESE?”
Someone mentioned “The Day The Earth Froze”, and I was reminded of this riff:
The witch sees Lenonkeinen about to split when she says, “Ah there he is…”
Joel: Miss America
Looking at Arch Hall Jr in “Eegah!”
Crow: Johnny Quest
Or how about Catalina Caper, when Servo went nuts for “Creepy Girl”
During the public speaking short, when the narrator advises the rather severe looking woman to keep her ankles together, Crow responds ” ’nuff said”.
Any slightly sexual innuendo from any movie gets a sleepy/high response from Joel, “Oh, wow!”
badum-tish!
From the opening shot of Why Study Industrial Arts:
Crow: “Depressed yet?”
From Young Man’s Fancy:
Judy (stuffing her face with pork): “I just love bacon when it’s crunchy like this.”
Mike: “Evidently.”
My personal favorite is from Mitchell. There’s a moment during the scene between Mitchell and the kid where Servo just starts screaming. A close second would be Crow’s “TALK. FASTER.” from The Touch of Satan.
How about the hysterical laugh from Crow when Santo makes his first appearance in Samson vs the Vampire Women?
FOR TORCHA’!
“…Line?”
Great for those awkward silent spots. Now I know Rifftrax has used this a lot in their riff of Twilight, but didn’t it start with MST3K? I want to think I’ve heard it somewhere else, but I can’t figure out the episode.
From several movies, usually said when someone is suddenly woken up: “Football practice!”
Dad? Daad?
Mr. Beardsley?!
I know it is not really part of a riff… but…
DEEP HURTING!!!!
From LAST CLEAR CHANCE: “Ask anyone who’s ever lived through a train crash and they’ll say…” Tom, I Think: “EEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAARRGH!”
“…Goldberg.”
(See Hackers, Side.)
*bang* Rowsdower!
Crow: Johnny Longbone?
T: Athena!
Mike: b..b..breasts!
KILL HIM!!!
Hi-Cuba
Waffles!
CHAWMP!
From “Hired”, part two: Father; “the first thing Harry drove into you…”, Crow, “…was Harry.”
From REVENGE OF THE CREATURE;
“I QUIT!”
“TOR-CHA!!”
Thought of one more…..
…at first….
“Those… n-nose!”
Some more:
The Leech Woman:
“Neil!” (repeated ad nauseum)
MST3K The Movie:
(some random guy passes by)
“Heil HITLER!”
From the same movie:
“Whoopty ****.”
One of my all-time favorite “dirty” riffs:
Servo’s enthusiastic “Can do!” in Santa Claus, after Santa reads the letter from the child asking for a little brother.
VARIOUS
Chief McCloud!
Look Polish!
SODIUM!
“Bragger …”
(from “War of the Colossal Beast”)
Of course, there’s always the reliable:
“Hi-Keeba!”
“Gymkata!”
the various NOOOOOOOOOO
like Boggy Creek “i’ve seen the little creature” that had a few in Cavedwellers that I watched yesterday. neeeeehhh oooooooh… :D
What’s Vietnam?
Baby Oil!
MOVIE-SIDE! :-P :-P :-P
Devil Fish: I KNOW!
Movies with rockets/missiles moving into “up” position: Good morning!
“And Beck!”
This was in a couple, but in DtEF, a bird lands on the girls’ finger and someone says (in a Sylvester voice) “Hello Breakfast!”
‘Girl in Lover’s Lane’ when Big Stupid goes to the whore house and sees the hooker, I think it was Mike who says “Danny?”
Mine is from Bloodlust near the beginning when they are on the boat and Mr. Brady asks the captain to take them to the island they just spotted. The camera cuts to the captain passed out drunk and Mike (I think) shouts out ‘Can do!’ I use that one a lot, usually when my boss asks me to do something. I explained to her what it’s from and she thinks it’s funny. At least I guess she does, I haven’t been fired yet – ha!
In response to Tor’s classic “Time for go to bed” from The Unearthly…
Joel – “Well said.”
“Rocky Graziano!”
–Tom Servo, The Brain That Wouldn’t Die
“Sausage!”
–Mike Nelson, Out Of This World
“Well said!”
–Joel Robinson, The Unearthly
Lots of good ones already mentioned. I’ll add…
“Dibs!” (In reference to foxy heroines in THE UNEARTHLY, MST3K: THE MOVIE)
“It’s incrawdible!” (WEREWOLF)
And not really a riff, but I always love when Joel tells one of the bots, “Honey, don’t.”
What really made that riff funny was that it was delivered in a perfect Colonel Klink voice.
The Touch of Satan:
[when Grandma Dried-Apple-Head crashes through screen door]
“It’s open.”
From The Movie: “Scram, Lumpy.”
