Weekend Discussion Thread: Favorite Running Gags

Alert regular Jay writes:

Although it seems like one of those ideas that somebody MUST have already come up with I haven’t come across it in the records so here goes: Running Gags. They have always been an MST staple. What is your favorite? Season 11 had its share, as well. There must be plenty of favorites out there.

I know one: “sampo!”

Have at it!

    Thought of another one used in many episodes: Whenever a character’s lips are close enough to Servo, he’ll kiss them. Gets me every time.

    I only remember it once, but Mike did a call back to “I Accuse My Parents”, where a guy says to a girl he just met…”Well, it Is my birthday!” LOL

    KILLING, MAMING, OR INJURING FRANK –

    Ah, the many deaths of Frank. Talk about an easy going guy. He came back from the dead more often than Lt. Lamont!

    One of my favorite recurring Joelism’s happens when any character says anything even vaguely sexual: “Oh, wow!”
    I love that.

    Another Joelism (though other have done it in his absence: “(whatever well-liked celebrity an actor looks like), NO!”

    DURN SMOOCHERS! (on my property) –

    From the repetitive Attack Of The The Eye Creatures came the oft repeated epithet heard occasionally on college campuses where overpowering libidos sometimes overcame scholastic decorum. Ah, those were the days.

  10. Sitting Duck:
    He died as he lived,[fill in the blank].

    “… all lit up.” That one even carried over to season 11.

    This is by no means complete, but here it is. Jim Henson’s ______ Babies. The many deaths and tortures of TV’s Frank. The abuse of Mike’s credit cards. And let’s not forget….KITTY!!!!

    “What’s Happening?” from Rifftrax. I reflexively sing the song whenever I hear the phrase now. Too bad Bill quit doing it.

    “If you’re like me, and I know I am …”. A Joelism I used for years to identify other MSTies.
