… you hear the phrase “Joe Don Baker” and complete it with “IS Mittens, he’s a cop!”
Can’t go to a fireworks display without yelling “TINKERBELL…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”!
Whenever something out of the ordinary happens, you reply “My nuts?”
When you frequently find yourself going “hum di-deet deet deet, hua hua!” when you’re bored, or just to break the silence.
Whenever I see a name like Hollingsworth Morse in a movie credit I always say OHHHH is the great ——– going to direct this movie.
You know you are a MSTie when you can answer #25 that the movie is The Black Scorpion.
You know you are a MSTie when you see people watching a movie with Joe Don Baker in it, and you say to them with a sarcastic grin, “you guys watch Joe Don Baker movies?” – and you are upset that nobody completes the scene by saying back to you – “Oh, get back to work, temp boy!”.
(Real life situation for me).
I am forever starting riffs or lines from the show in situations that call for them and hoping that somebody in hearing range is savvy enough in MSTiedom to complete the jokes, but it is often futile and to no avail.
Only if I am with a known fellow MSTie can I count on a return from my serves, and even then it’s hit or miss.
You’re always looking for a place to put your foot up on.
When you see a typewriter and say “How do you get the internet on this thing.”
When you mutter to yourself “I just want to get on the information Superhighway.”
When you see a specific magazine and state “You read Newsweek? What a loser.”
… you react to crummy special effects in movies by yelling “Special Effects by Billy!”
All spoken lists of names must end with “McCloud!”
All broken devices have “No springs.”
When you hear someone say, “A ‘MSTie’……..what’s that ????”
And just know that it will be YOU that ends up babbling endlessly to that person about just what it means to worship at the ‘altar’ of MST3K….. :heart:
when someone says “it’s worse than I thought”
You ask if theres no butter in their coffee…
–for the record I have actually seen someone at McDonalds put butter in their coffee.
you’ve been banned from every theater in town.
When you find yourself listing all the myriad uses of springs whenever someone else says “I wish never see another ——”
#42, Dirk Squarejaw = the astronomer/navigator from the astronaut crew of episode 201, Rocketship X-M, and a Good Friend!

“Sorry, I can’t reply to this thread. I am too busy watching out for SNAKES!”
Tell me about it, buddy!
You know you’re a MSTie when. . . . . .
. . . .you visit this site multiple times a day, looking forward to these discussion threads and the weekly episode guide.
. . . . anytime you see a less than enthusiastic crowd at an event you say, “and the crowd goes wild,” followed by a monotone, “yay.”
. . . . you see a name like “Steve Sally” or “Susan John” and you think to yourself, “jeez talk about an identity crisis.”
. . . . You read the credits to anything and you look for jokes to make about peoples names.
. . . . when someone asks what you want to do, you reply, “I want to decide who lives and who dies!”
. . . . you show people your Tug McGraw impersonation.
This is fun!! :silly:
… you know the proper pronuciation of Beaulieu. (And can spell it properly without checking!)

Thingy –
I too enjoy Space 1999 and Brian Blessed rules!
@57…story of my life >.> i will quote a brilliant riff and absolutely nobody will get it.
– You have at least ten MST3K quotes for every imaginable situation or conversational topic.
– You laugh when someone mentions a Gila monster. Or a shrew. Or a werewolf. Or a forklift. Or rockclimbing. Or….you get the idea.
– You get into a contest with a friend to see who can list the most obscure actors, and win easily (I have done this, and it was not pretty >.>)
– You go to the movies with friends and an ad comes on for Cinematic Titanic or RiffTrax, and you almost jump out of your seat (This also happened to me. It was an ad for Cinematic Titanic and I heard the opening words, “From the creators of Mystery Science Theater 3000”, and my two friends had to practically sit on me to keep me from leaping into the screen…)
– You want to go to Canada and find Rowsdower.
– You are planning on going to see the Manos remake and implementing as many riffs from the original episode as possible.
– You spend hours creating lists like this.
– Whenever you go to the movies with someone and they complain about how the movie is horrible, you roll your eyes and remember the time you watched Manos without the riffing.
You see a picture of a underdressed starlet and your first thought is Dear Sir, send pants at once!
When you can’t watch a movie until you’ve watched a short first.
Whenever you see someone attractive or are in a sexual situation
you instinctively say (or think…)
‘Saaaayyy….’
Upon seeing a department store Santa, you mutter under your breath, “Get the hell out of my shop!”
…you still have an open contract out on Greydon Clark.
…whenever your tired you say (a la Steve Reeves) “I’m so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open.”
…when someone messes up big time, you start singing “He’s a failure! La la la! What a loser! La la la la!”
This is a great thread – I see some new T-shirt ideas here!
Any ticking clock…I’m mike wallace…i’m ed bradley. Any bad fight scene..GYM-KATA! And of course any jackass you meet…DICKWEED!!! Great thread i’ll be checking back all week. Oh poopie another sign!!
You made one one of the three robots out parts. Extra credit for know what those parts are from memory and not needing the bot building guild.
Critter (#75): COMPLETELY agree. I do that one all the time.
-You often say, “If you’re like me, and I know *I* am…”
– Whenever you make a sandwich with mayonnaise you say out loud, “MayonNAISE!”
Whenever you slip into a moment of deep thought you find yourself asking “I wonder if there’s beer on the sun?”
When one of your favorite holiday songs is
“Let’s Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas”.
Well, hey, it is a standard, right?
You text your 15 year old son and say “This is absolutely fascinating”. And he replies “I’m sleeping nose to anus. C’mon… it’s fun!” And when you’re wife asks why you think she should take an umbrella with her, you say “Because it affords you a certain amount of protection!”{
…when you bust out laughing for no reason – after having one of the riffs pop into your head and it’s easier to just not explain to anyone why you were laughing…cuz no one will get it.
…or when you over-hear someone talking about MST3K or say a line and it’s like meeting a semi-soul mate.
When you greet any low-angle shot of a film’s main character with a cry of “I’M HUGE!”
when the voices in your head sound just like your favorite robot friends. I also am a fan of “kitty!” when seeing any kind of feline. :tiger:
…whenever cheerleaders are featured on the screen you cheer “LOOK,LOOK,LOOK AT MY CROTCH!”
When phrases start popping into your normal daily usage like “Why dost thou even have the (insert as apporpriate here), if it bugs thee so much?”
Or if you believe that Bartlett’s Quotations immortality will someday be bestowed upon “He died as he lived…With his mouth wide open.”
Or when somebody in conversation sarcastically leaves a sentence unfinished (eg., “Here we go with the…” ) and your first instinct is to say “‘Here we go with the’ BLANK, Brett Sommers!”
I didn’t feel like looking through the comments section, so if I steal anyone’s ideas, please forgive me.
Here goes…..
“You know you’re a mistie when you see a ninja and the master ninja theme song pops up in your head”.
:D
When you can’t read a newspaper without thinking, “Well, that could’ve gone better”.
You can’t hear someone or something being refered to as elusive and wonder how they stack up against Robert Denby.
Abrupt transitions in anything make you say, “Meanwhile in another movie.”
Warnings to keep an eye aout for snakes make you chuckle.
… when you tell your driving companion you’re hungry, he suggests McDonald’s, and you reply, “No…. But I DO want to EEEEEEAT!”
…when you look at grapefruits and think of women dancing around holding them. ‘Grapefruits! They’re not just for breakfast anymore!’
…when everyone around qoutes good movies and you quote bad ones :rotfl:
Whenever I watch football and a team makes a good play, I think, “They’re going! The cheerleaders’ plan is working!”
When you name your vacuum cleaner “Gypsy.”
When you think a red jumpsuit and a hard hat make a great Halloween costume.
When you’re in Alberta and wonder where exactly they filmed “The Final Sacrifice” and muse that you’d really like to see it, despite it looking like the dullest place on earth.
When you always take “MSTie” as your screen name on every message board if it’s available.
When you see any instance of the word “Mitchell,” name, street, etc., and scream at the top of your lungs, “MITCHELL!”
Or if you constantly remind people to watch out for snakes…
…when you send hour after hour of your freetime using photoshop elements to create delightful and lovely DVD case artwork and labels for your “library” of nth generation vhs-to-dvd copies of every episode you could ever get your hands on, or when you find you’ve collected all the unMSTied versions of all those movies, even though their so awful you’ll never sit and watch them, because you’re “a completist.”
Uh, that should read “…spend hour after hour…”
You sometimes panic when making sandwiches and …
You cant wait for someone to say “Thunderdome”.
When every mention of a potato makes you think of Pod People and any walk in rocky hills forces you to say “Watch out for snakes!”
