Weekend Discussion Thread: Guilty Pleasures

Our alert pal Mr. B(ob) suggests:

Guilty pleasure joke or episode, i.e., the joke or episode you felt was the weakest that still made you laugh.

You can also include movie moments, because my pick, no question is: “Today is dedicated to Uranus!”

What’s your pick?

    Spoiler alert: In The Magic Voyage of Sinbad
    (He’s not Sinbad!)

    Everybody pointing that out, at least the bots—
    Crow, Tom Servo, and Gypsy, did Joel and Magic Voice?

    “Hooray for Santy Claus.”

    I find the melody really quite catchy.

    If you wrote some thoroughly different lyrics for it, took it away from that “choir” of shout-singing kids, and gave it to an actually competent, mid-60s British Invasion band, you could have an enjoyable little pop record.

    My favorite is in The Legend of Boggy Creek. Where one of the girls is trying to squeeze into a pair of tight shorts. I believe Tom was making squeaking noises. It’s so stupid, but I can’t help but laugh.

    In Zombie Nightmare, when a police officer is talking to the custodian at the athletic center, Crow goes, “Can I have a Tahitian Treat?”. It makes me laugh every time because my dad used to be a custodian at a high school and whenever my mum would take my brother and I to visit him, we’d get to buy Tahitian Treat from the pop machines.

    #105 It’s actually Snyder’s Drug, a Minnesota-based chain of drug stores.

    I love many of their “buffalo shot” riffs.

    “Okay, camera on me with my legs splayed out and my enormous package….”

    Looks stupid written down, but it’s hilarious when they say it…

    #52- ah, you reminded me of Crow’s little Betty Boop-voiced “Catching trouble!” exclamation at the end of the insipid title card song. That cracks me up every time.

    What a great topic. I laughed, remembering so many of these.

    I think it’s in Robot Monster…anyway, it’s one of the many season 1 eps featuring Commando Cody…during a host segment, Servo sez, by way of transition, “Let’s talk about that Pumpkin Head.” I think that’s the funniest damn line, not sure why. I don’t think Josh gets nearly enough credit for his Servo, a much different character than Kevin’s.

    In Girl’s Town when Mamie is putting on her stockings, we see just her legs Crow says kinda under his breath ” I hope its a woman”. It kinda reminds me of when your driving and you see someone walking and they have long hair and your like yea until you realize its some dude yuk yuk yuk. :razzmad:

    For some reason, these parts consistently make me laugh far more than they deserve :

    “Invasion Of The Neptune Men”, when the kid with the glasses looks through the telescope at the man and woman and says “Look at those two! Lovers!”, and the shot shows them just amiably chatting with each other, and Mike chimes in “Jeez, they’re all over each other.”

    From “Time Chasers”, the shot of the Martin’s supermarket, the nerdy voice Mike uses to say, “Shop at Martin’s … What up!”

    “Eegah!”, when they are doing the operation to make Joel look like Arch Hall Jr. and Dr. Gypsy comes in to give the anaesthetic, the cheery way she says, “And how are WE today?”

    I was a Third Order Carmelite at the time Horrors of Spider Island first premiered so when two girls are wrestling on the bed and Mike riffs “Carmelite nuns, the real story!” has to be the guiltiest for me.
    Invasion of the Neptune Men’s They took the Hitler Building. “The Hitler salt and pepper shakers?!”

  26. It’s already been mentioned, but count me in for Pumaman’s music, either alone or with their lyrics added in.

    “When you want the flavor of bacon in a dip!”

    NOH Theater in 819… watching Servo’s head doing 360s like Linda Blair cracks me up. Classic and borrows from Abbott and Costello’s comedy style.
