On the “Overdrawn at the Memory Bank” topic, someone mentioned how unintentionally hilarious the line “Mom, my nuts?” was by itself.
I’d like to suggest a topic regarding unintentionally amusing lines in MSTed movies that didn’t require any “enhancement” from Mike/Joel and the Bots.
Example: The line “Get outta here YOU DISGUSTING WORRMMMMMM!!!!” from “Outlaw” was HYSTERICAL and it only got stunned giggles from the riffers. The line alone was funny enough.
A lot of these became stingers, of course.
I’d say one of the classics is the inexplicably rage-filled shop keeper from episode 702- THE BRUTE MAN. “Creeper! Creeper! Creeper! YOU give me the creeps!”
What’s your pick?

From The Creeping Terror:
“My god, what is it!?”
the whole yipes Stripes scene in teenage strangler, danceing and singing on the counter at a diner, the drew carey esq fry cooks boogieing adds to the randomness of this scene.
maybe I stand alone on this one but it’s just silly in a movie about people getting strangled to death.
Allso the whole mikey thing, silly all by it’s self.
“oh!, your, in.”
(little weirdo why didnt he waite at the door?)
There are many, but the one that immediately pops to mind is the obviously fake phone ring in “Monster-a-Go-Go.”
Also the entire performance of the Red Green-like prospector dude in “The Final Sacrifice.”
Laserblast was a very funny movie on its own!
The underwater scene in “Sinbad”. Seriously, WTF??!!
Space Mutiny- Reb is on the floor waxer, screams stops, sits for a second or two and jumps out the vehicle. I laugh just typing this!
I’m so honored my suggestion actually became a reality!
Thank you very much! I’m very grateful! :mrgreen:
From Laserblast-
“POW POW POW!”
“This is absolutely fascinating.”
Hmmm…
From the show: Any shot of Phantom of Krankor laughing. (“Hah! Hah! Hah!”)
From outside the show: “Rudolph, I need you tonight.”
Oh, and grandmom in Space Mutiny standing and shooting poorly while the floor waxer machine comes at her.
Fart Bargo beat me to it but… Try my cider, I put peanuts in it.
Plenty of lip and tongue action. from the public speaking short.
Gotta go with the a newby from Rifftrax. When rooty toot or whoever asks the other kid to carry his giant sack. :smile:
A different moment from “Werewolf”…after the famous “You and Noel is in it for fame and FOHRCHOON?”…
“But over my dead BAAAHHH-dee!”
All I have to do is say that line and my friends crack up.
“Warrior of the Lost World”
Paper Chase guy soon after Megaweapon is destroyed he says something about getting his bike. I don’t know exactly what he says because he is mad and yells but it still sounds mumbled.
That monster will destroy everything with it’s tongue! – Gamera vs. Barugon
A-a-a-h-h! A-a-a-a-a-h-h-h!! – The “sonic wave” attack from Gamera vs. Zigra
Oh, you have got to be kidding me. – Me, watching Gamera play his own theme song on Zigra’s back in Gamera vs. Zigra
I’ve heard of jumping the shark, but this is ridiculous?
In Laserblast, when they drive by that Star Wars sign – I was practically on the floor when I first saw that.
I can’t believe no one’s put in the classic line from Mixed-Up Zombies from “Maoam” Estrella. “You dirty, feeelty peeg.” Huge laughs from Mike and the Bots, and everyone I’ve ever watched the show with.
‘I’M COOOOOMMMMMEEEEEEENNNGG!!!’ from Quest Of the Delta Knigts cracks me up. That and ‘Get your tickets here!’ from ISCWSLABMUZ. My sister and I repeat those ad nauseum.
Another that always get me is from “Prince of Space.” “Give the crew four hours off.” Mike and the Bots are laughing at Phantom’s tiny batch, but I think the idea of giving four hours off is absurd. What can they do in that time on a space ship?
A few things from Season 7 come to mind instantly.
From “Deathstalker,” TROXARTIS. Brainchild put it perfectly in comment #23. Such a horribly hammy villain.
From “The Incredible Melting Man,” there’s the standoff between Dr. Ted Nelson and the security guys.
“LISTEN TO ME! I’M DOCTOR TED NELSON!” *BANG BANG BANG*
From “Escape 2000,” just about any scene involving Toblerone’s over-the-top persona, but there’s also Henry Silva’s “PROCEEEEEEEEEEEEED!”
From “Laserblast,” there’s the gratuitous and out-of-nowhere destruction of the generic-looking “STAR WARS” billboard.
Also, “Danger! Death Ray!” is full of hilarious moments, including:
-the entire music score (“bah bah dah bah dah bah bah baaaaaaaaaaah”)
-the one guy’s horrible fake beard
-the painfully obvious toy helicopter & submarine
-the poorly edited final shot of the watch being dropped
Hell, “Bride of the Monster” is one ridiculously long funny moment, more or less, thanks to Tor, Bela Lugosi (and that horrible editing), Harvey B. Dunn, and Ed Wood’s trademark incompetence.
“The Dogs meat…have you seen it?”
line from Deadly Bees. Stings me everytime. There’s a bunch of other ones in Deadly Bees but I can’t quite remember at the moment.
For some reason more recent material springs to mind. The bad guys jumping over the wall in East Meets Watts and what has to be one of my all time favs now: “Rudolph, I need you tonight” from the Rifftrax Xmas show.
i have to agree with “Give everyone four hours off” from Prince of Space… such a random line. Also agree with “snarf farms” from Night of the Blood Beast. This is a great thread, I laughed all the way through reading it!
“Is that stud coming?” will make you stop in your tracks.
Of course, I am a HUGE fan of “Watch out for snakes!”
The new classic: “Rudolph, I need you tonight.”
This is a non MST3K moment. At a recent Cinematic Titanic show, there was a moment where the CT crew didn’t have to say a word. It was the movie “War Of The Insects”, the part where the two people are trapped in a hut by the marauding bugs. When the bugs breach the walls, the woman yells “They’re breaking in!” and the man BREAKS OFF A SMALL PIECE OF FLOORBOARD AND THROWS IT AT THEM! And he does it with a look that says “There, that fixes everything!” The audience roared with laughter at this scene, and it didn’t need any commentary it was so stupid.
“I told you it’s a ZOOO-PRISE!” from Squirm.
Also “You got no-good-cake-go-boy” and You gonna be da worm face” uttered by the same character.
VAANNCE! VAAAANCE! :grin:
From Riding With Death, many moments, but in particular the guy holding a gun on the invisible sam casey and exclaiming –
“It can’t Be???? You’re dead???”-
in an odd questioning tone. (Which the brains rightly pounced on with Bill Corbett executing some funny lines mimicking the guy).
Also Track of the Moon Beast (also many moments) when the pink girl was calling “Paul!!! Help Me” endlessly.
“I dont care!”-Johnny Time of the Apes
Eagah removing shaving cream with the python like tongue of his.
ANYTHING Max Keller said, er mumbled.
All classic mentions, especially “Cornjob. Not mentioned are much of the content of both Santa Clause movies. Especially the Mexican one. It looks like what might happen if you didn’t sleep for a week and then took too much Peyote.
Ro-man from Robot Monster lumbering around looking as frightening as a barely ambulatory shag rug with a helmet.
The Creeping Terror “monster’ that was so slow and awkward it needed it’s prey to hang around and then climb in its’ mouth.
Also: the first spastic fight between Space Chief and the Neptune Men where SC waves jerks his leg in the Neptune Men’s direction from several feet away and 3 or 4 Neptune men stagger away as if a wall is collapsing on them. This is the worst fake fighting I’ve ever seen. Ever! The “When you edit it, it’l look like I hit him” moments in Future War.
“This is where the fish lives” and “Zah!” from The Touch of Satan.
Jim, I’m packed :lol:
0412 – Hercules And The Captive Women: “Today is dedicated to Uranus!”.
There’s a moment in ‘The Final Sacrifice’ when Rowsdower pulls into a gas station to call the police and tell them about Troy. Right before he gets out of the car to make the call he looks at Troy and goes, ‘Stay here kid, I’ll get you a chocolate bar…’ I laughed loooooong and hard after I heard that. It just sounds so… creepy. Unintentionally creepy, but still…
From “Future War” where the nun wanna-be is explaining to her plaid-wearing gangster friends why she called them together and she calmly says, “Monsters in the hood.” I love that line.
The evil ape in “Time of the Apes,” is apparently named Gay Bar.
Just about any time that Jack Palance is on the screen in “Outlaw” makes me snicker. His lines are all so pompous and stilted. He’s SO sorely out of place in this type of movie, and it’s obvious that he’s all too aware of it.
The best thing from “Future War” is the way that the main character repeatedly and dramatically says, “I am a tool.”
A few quick Season 6 moments:
Any moment the Creeping Terror appeared on the screen in Creeping Terror, but especially the moment when it was spontaneously hit by a car!
The rightfully stingered walk-on paperboy from Invasion USA.
The penguin from Zombie Nightmare.
The Violent Years: “They’re shooting back!!”
The moment in Space Mutiny when Dave Ryder’s shout makes him sound like a woman, prompting Mike to ask, “Who took my purse!”
Reb Brown shouts a lot in all his movies, actually.
Time Chaser’s car rolling over scene, 100%.
This thread is fantastic. Just what I needed on a late night at the office. Cheers, all.
Cabot? Cabot!! Cabot?! Cabot. Cabot??!! If you took all the times someone said his name in “Outlaw” it would be more than every other word in the script combined. Cracks me up every time someone says Cabot. So I’m laughing during the ENTIRE move.
The five pound potty from “The Home Economics Story”
I was thinking about this today, and I remembered the side-splitting “fight” between Ator, his sidekick and the invisible villains in Cave Dwellers. I recall doing stuff like that on the playground back when I was very young and I found it hilarious to see grown men doing the same thing. It was amusing to see that in Riding with Death as well.
One scene in Outlaw that cracked me up (besides the queen’s “worm” line) was when Cabot brought his sword down over his knee. Instead of the sword breaking (I presume that was what should have happened) it bends like the piece of cheap tin that it actually was. That scene perfectly summed up the film’s utter ineptness.
Ah, Michael D., you helped remind me of my LOL moment from Outlaw. The complete change in trajectory when the hunter throws his spear and when it impales the queen in the next shot. I honestly thought that was going to be the stinger.
Track Of The Moonbeast:
“Corn, chicken, green peppers, *exasperated exhale* onions…” – Johnny Longbone
Ithink I would have gotten a howl out of the ever-sniveling Mikey from “Teenage Strangler”. No riffing needed, just let the whimpiness wash over you!
The special effects during The Amazing Colossal Man. Like his “hand” holding Carol, and his cannonball(?) off of Hoover Damn.
As you stated lines of dialogue and not visual moments the first one that I remember that has become a riff of it’s own was Tor Johnson from “The Unearthly” with his “Time for go to bed!.” I just remember that when that moment came, the thought of this almost illiterate hulking being almost straining to get, I think to be his only bit of dialogue out, just made me double over.
Another one is from the KTMA episode “Superdome” where the female (Spoiler-alert) assassin says to the male hero-lead ‘If it feels right, do it”!
Yet another favorite is the blind-man louding stating “Help Me!” from “Rocket Attack USA”. It’s not his pleading which makes me laugh but the fact that the panicking people around him don’t stop to help this obviously disabled man in a time of crisis. I could be wrong but I this this “Help Me” was the first stinger used in the show.
Other favorite mentions:
“Things” from “WEREWOLF”
The “hero” straining to spell “Hotchkiss” while being overcome by the evil influence in “THE CRAWLING HAND.”
“I’m in it for the kicks” from “WILD REBELS”.
“Gamera is dancing the Go-Go” from “GAMERA vs. GUIRON.”
“I had a good day today” from “STRANDED IN SPACE (MAROONED}”.
and last but not least any mention of the word “SAMPO!”
