Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988–1999) is an American TV show that mocks bad movies by riffing on their strange characters, absurd settings, and silly plot twists, interspersing erudite cultural quips with schoolboy jokes and general zaniness. There are 198 movies, 60 shorts, and 4 specials in the MST3K canon. (See Notes below for help on using this page.)

Notes
- How to use this page. You can browse these quotes by scrolling through the page, looking for a specific title using your browser's Find or Search feature, or click on a numbered link in the table of contents. As you pause your mouse over each box in the table, the title of the episode, short, or special will pop up in a tooltip. (Some older browsers don't provide this feature or have it disabled, in which case you can still see the title as a URL in your browser's status bar.)
- What kind of quotes to add. Much of the humor in Mystery Science Theater 3000 comes from visual or sound sources that cannot be adequately communicated through a text quote page. A good guideline for adding quotes here is to limit them to ones that communicate their humor through the text itself, with a minimum of context. On the other hand, these quotes do include MST3K humor that arises from cultural references that aren't practical to explain within a quote page, so they are left as mental exercises for the reader (or the use of external sites with such explanations).
- How to format quotes. See the discussion page for suggested formatting and more inclusion guidelines.
- What do the colors mean? The color scheme for the table indicates the different channels and cast arrangements for MST3K:

- Crow: The eye creatures. Scabbing, inflexible, lethargic, mucus-expelling creatures having no spoken language and no particular powers with which to conquer. They were also unfortunate enough to have evolved with heavy-duty zippers running up their backs.
- . . .
- Joel: Some eye creatures are born with scaly protective covering. Others are born with hundreds of eyes protuding from fleshy knobs. Still others, like this whisper-thin fellow, are born with tight acrylic wool-blend turtleneck sweaters from Chess King.
- . . .
- Crow: If you're ever in a fight with an eye creature, keep in mind that his head is simply draped casually over his shoulders and should be no trouble to knock off! [...] Get ready to give chase to an injured eye creature; as you can see, he's wearing his Jack Purcell athletic shoes! Folks, they just did not care!

- Servo: No, I think Joel's right, this one has "stinkburger" written all over it.
- Joel: Yeah...
- Crow: [sighs indignantly] C'mon, you can't tell just from the credits!
- Joel: No, no, it's a feeling I have. My gut instincts tell me that this is gonna hurt real bad.
- Crow: Joel, it's not healthy to have such a negative attitude right out of the gate.
- Servo: It's just common sense, Crow. There's a feeling of incompetence already in the air here.

- Crow: Boooooo!
- [Joel realizes how depressing the movie was and is trying to cheer up the 'bots when Servo begins to cry.]
- Joel: Hey, w-what's wrong?
- Servo: Joel, it's this movie. It was really depressing! It was like being a little kid and eating dinner at your Aunt Ruth's apartment in the summer, and it's hot in there and she's got a local Christian radio station on, and there's nothing to do or look at 'cause all she's got in the apartment are Good Housekeeping magazines and linen doilies!
- Crow: Yeah! And then they send you out to play with the strange neighbor kids and they're all big and their skin is pink and they have big pores and a big eighth grader makes you look at really upsetting pictures, so you go back inside and you sit down and they're all just talking with these big pauses in their conversations and you can hear the clock ticking on the wall!
- Servo: Yeah! Yeah, and so you dig into your seat cushion and you find a really old peanut, and you're so bored you eat it! And then you just feel bad and a little sick, and then you think you're about to go! But-but then Aunt Ruth takes out a photo album filled with black-and-white photos of kids with squinty eyes and they're supposed to be your uncles and aunts or something, and then your parents force you to look at them!

- Crow: This takes care of unwanted hair in the bikini area.
- [Watching girls being passed around by men lying down with their feet up]

- Narrator: The beautiful bareback riding ballerina, Miss Lucy!
- Servo: ...could not be with us tonight, so instead we have this act.

- Narrator: Presenting Boppo and Freddie for the funniest prizefight in circus history!
- Crow: Bing Crosby's relationship with his son Gary is re-enacted.
- Servo [as clown]: Ha ha! Let the nightmare begin! Hoo hoo!
- Joel: This is the strangest debate format I have ever seen.
- Servo: You know, don't laugh, but in a way, this is this town's passion play.
- Joel: Oh. It's a full contact Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?!
- Crow [as Richard Burton]: Don't talk about our clown, Martha.
- [Cut to the next act, a lion tamer]
- Crow: KITTIES!
- [As trapeze artists fly through the air]
- Joel: I know, you're not going to complete 5th grade gym without doing this, right?

- [Lemminkäinen and Ilmarinen demand the release of Ilmarinen's sister from the witch Louhi, as reward for plowing the witch's field. The witch is hesitant to comply, and demands more.]
- Louhi, the witch: Forge a Sampo! Or you'll never see the face of your pretty sister again.
- Crow: Can we see the other parts?
- Servo: Crimeny, better look up what a Sampo is quick, I think she's serious!
- [Bowing to the witch's demand, Ilmarinen builds a Sampo by throwing stuff into a magic fire.]
- Ilmarinen: With this wool, will I clothe you!
- Servo [as Ilmarinen]: With these teeth, will you bite me!
- [The witch Louhi spreads her arms outward, her cloak fluttering in the wind.]
- Servo: Ladies and gentlemen, the Swedish Moses of Soul!

- Crow: [excited] Oh, wow! I bet this guy's so cool! He smokes, carries a gun, and... [deflating] makes a lot of... phone calls...
The Magic Voyage of Sinbad
- [Sinbad addresses a crowd of people in the city and they yell in agreement with something he says.]
- Crow [as someone in the crowd]: Howard Johnson is right!
- [Sinbad delivers another speech, but the editing makes it appear as though it has lasted for more than a day.]
- Joel: It's noon and he's still filibustering!
- [Sinbad makes prospective members of his crew drink a strong liquid to test their fortitude.]
- Crow: They're test-marketing Crystal Pepsi.
- [Sinbad's ships approach an island whose residents wear giant horned helmets and cloaks.]
- Crow: They look like the Knights Who Say "Ni!"
Eegah
- [Roxy walks up to her little car.]
- Crow [as Roxy]: Taxi! ...Oh, I drove.
- . . .
- Servo: Y'know, the nice thing about this car is she can fold it up and put it in her purse.
- [Roxie parks her car at Tommy's service station and honks her horn. Tommy, played by the homely Arch Hall, Jr., looks up.]
- Crow: Honk if you love Eegah!
- Tommy: Hi, Roxie!
- Joel [as Tommy]: Sorry about my face!!
- [Joel is pinning a new suit together using Crow as a mannequin. Servo's head has been replaced with a pincushion. Joel accidentally pricks Crow.]
- Crow: Ow!
- Joel: Oh, I'm sorry, pal. I'm just so distracted. I can't stop thinking about that sweet service station in today's film. Did you guys notice how sleek and beautiful it was?
- Servo: [patronizingly] Um, no, Joel, I can't say that I did, heh-heh [aside to Crow] Koo-koo! Koo-koo!
- Joel: I'm serious, you guys! There was a time that we as a nation took pride in our service stations! They gleamed like a beacon of hope from coast to coast. Then one day: kablooey! Sky Chief super service turned into the Tank 'n' Tummy. I don't mind tellin' ya, the day this country went self-serve is the day that Hell started to bubble over and flood the earth.
- Crow: I hate to burst your bubble, Joel, but what about the bubonic plague? World Wars? Stalin?
- Joel: Well, those are all big things. Hell works best when it's a lot subtler. Let me give you an example: Okay, what do you think of Adolf Hitler?
- Crow: Well, I hate him, naturally.
- Joel: Okay, now what do you think of the band Styx?
- Crow: Well, they had a couple of decent... [realization sets in] Oh, my God, you're right!
- Servo: I get it now, Joel! You know, I don't know exactly when Hell started for me, but I think it had something to do with Christopher Cross.
- Joel: Yeah, and remember the time Charlie Weaver died, and it wasn't even in the papers?
- Crow: Or when they 86'd Jarts!
- Servo: I think the first time Flo said "Kiss my grits!", something in all of us withered and died!
- Crow: Using Joe Camel to sell cigarettes to kids seems like a pretty ripe slice of Hell.
- Joel: Yeah, I agree with that. And how about the time Denis Leary released No Cure For Cancer as an album, or when Vicki Lawrence won a Grammy for "The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia"?
- Servo: I know I stand alone on this, but the day Blansky's Beauties got cancelled.
- Crow: Yeah, you pretty much stand alone on that. Sinbad's pretty icky.
- Joel: Yeah, and how about the Charlene Tilton workout video?
- Servo: Joel! How can we possibly survive in a world that keeps giving us constant images of Hell?
- Joel: Well, there's personal liberty, strength of convictions; those have been known to work. And there are the times when we rise as one to beat back Hell. Like the time when we as a nation said "No!" to Yahoo Serious.
- Crow: I remember that. There we were, inexplicably drawn to the slobbering mouth of Hell. Then, at the last moment, saved just like Moses and the Israelites.
- Servo: Now who in Creation is powerful enough to do that?!
- Crow [as Goliath]: Gee, Davey, do ya think it was God?
- [The not-so-intrepid Robert I. Miller goes exploring in the desert.]
- Joel: Oh, look, he's wearing corrective shoes with black socks.
- Servo: He's wearing corrective everything!
- [Tommy drives up as Eegah runs from Roxie's car. Roxie screams.]
- Tommy: Roxie! It's me, Tom!
- Joel [as Roxie]: That's why I'm screaming! AAAAAAAAA!!!
- [In the desert, Dr. Miller, Roxy, and Tommy are examining the giant's tracks.]
- Dr. Miller: He left the road right here.
- Dr. Miller: [ dubbed voiceover ] Watch out for snakes!
- Servo: Who said that?!
- [Tommy sings and plays an electric guitar by the motel pool.]
- Joel: Man, it looks like it hurts to be him.
- Servo [as Motel Staff on Loudspeaker]: Uh, will the gentleman by the pool please discontinue the song? And watch out for snakes.
- [Over yet another disgusting close-up of Arch Hall Jr.]
- Joel: I figured it out, he looks like the bat from FernGully.
- [Eegah introduces Roxie to his mummified relatives.]
- Roxie: Um... how do you do?
- Crow [as corpse]: I'm really, really dead.
- [At a pool party, Eegah once again carries off Roxy.]
- Joel: Man, she gets picked up so much, she should have a handle!
- [Dr. Miller, trying to escape, carefully packs all his things into his plaid bag.]
- Joel: Oh, yeah. Don't forget your little satchel.
- Crow: That purse will be the death of him!
- [Eegah returns to his cave, carrying flowers.]
- Crow [as Eegah]: [singing] Red roses for a blue ladyyyy...
- Crow and Servo: [in unison] EEGAH SHUCKA! EEGAH! EEGAH!
- Joel: [singing] I can't stop this feelin'...
- [Over a shot of a dress store]:
- Crow: It's Frederick's of Maplewood.
- Joel [as Announcer]: The Loretta Young Show!
- [Crow imitiates an audience roaring while Servo imitates the theme]
- Crow [as The Cryptkeeper]: Welcome to the Crypt! We've dug up something for you! [chuckles] Why not stick around and watch Dream On? It's the breast show on TV! [to Joel] Kill me.
I Accuse My Parents
The Truck Farmer (short)
- [Over the opening logo (The letters EB in a circle), titles, and credits of this Encyclopedia Britannica film...]
- Joel: Easter Bunny films presents...
- Servo: "Truck Farmer": The special edition. Includes scenes the studio thought too graphic for audiences.
- Crow: Wonder if they sold this film door to door?
- Narrator: Most of us think that these people were really free...
- Joel [as Narrator]: But they were just stupid!
- [A tractor is clearing down trees for farming.]
- Crow: Aah! It's Killdozer! Clint Walker, no!
- Servo: Here, thousands of acres of rainforest are cleared away. Who cares?
- Crow [as driver]: Stupid trees! God, I hate them.
- Joel: Early tractor pulls, not that much fun. This is the freestyle competition.
- Crow: Don't see many of these trees anymore. Well, down it goes.
- Servo: The sad thing is this guy doesn't even work for anybody. He's just doing this for kicks!
- Joel, Crow, Servo: [singing to the Speed Racer theme]
- Go, Speed Farmer!
- Go, Speed Farmer!
- Go, Speed Farmer, go!
- . . .
- Servo: There's something you don't see every day.

- Crow: Some carrots are humiliated publicly.
- Narrator: Here in southern Texas, they have an additional problem...
- Crow: Texans.
- [Men spray ice into a large shipping container with a huge fire hose]
- Narrator: The vegetables are shipped in special, refrigerated containers.

- Joel: Wait a minute, has anybody seen a truck yet?

- Jimmy: But... I accuse my parents!
- [Everyone applauds.]
- Servo: Yes! We have a title!
- Kitty: [singing] Are you happy...
- Crow: Define "happy!"
- Kitty: ...In your work...
- Joel: Oh, don't sing this to me on a Monday...
- [Kitty abruptly breaks off her relationship with Jimmy.]
- Kitty: You'll always be a shoe salesman at $25 a week.
- Servo [as Jimmy]: Eighteen, after taxes!
- [The lumpy-haired Kitty cries after Blake forces her to break up with Jimmy.]
- Servo [as Kitty]: If I had parents, I'd accuse them right now!

- [Neil Connery prepares to hypnotize his patient, Miss Yashuko. He tents his fingers in concentration.]
- Joel: All right, here's the church, here's the steeple, open the door and go to sleeple.
- [After an hour or so of no discernible plot development, Mr. Thayer discusses the details of his evil plan.]
- Mr. Thayer: Everything will go on, as if nothing happened.
- Joel: Nothing has happened...
The Girl in Lovers Lane
- [Singing to the opening credits theme]
- Servo: The Girl in Lover's Lane...
- Crow: With Jack Elam, not Jack LaLanne!
- [Well-off but naive runaway Danny latches onto professional hobo Bix Dugan. They stroll through a small town.]
- Danny: I'm hungry! Let's get something to eat.
- Bix: That's a good idea.
- Servo [as Bix]: You're catchin' on, kid. That was very insightful of you.
- [The two enter a diner.]
- Joel [as Danny]: We're hungry, but I thought of it! Ya know— d'ya think that could be my new job, Bix — decidin' when ta eat?

The Painted Hills
Body Care and Grooming (short)
- [The title Body Care and Grooming appears on the screen.]
- Joel: Is this an infomercial? Where's Cher?
- Servo [as TV announcer]: Body Care. And Grooming. They're cops.
- [The short opens on a shot of several college-age couples looking lovey-dovey all across campus.]
- Narrator: Ah, spring!
- Crow [as Narrator]: Filthy, shameful spring!
- . . .
- Joel: You know, people were whiter back then.
- Narrator: When a young man's fancy lightly turns to...
- Crow: Underpants.
- Narrator: ...Love.
- Crow: Oh.
- [Shot of slovenly girl.]
- Narrator: Look at that hair!
- Crow: [defensively] I like her hair!
- Narrator: And that blouse!
- Crow: [lasciviously] I'm looking, I'm looking!
- ...
- [Shot of young man looking disgusted by slovenly girl's appearance.]
- Narrator: Sorry, Miss! We're trying to a film about proper appearance, and, well, you're not exactly the kind to make this guy behave like a human being!
- Joel: [bitterly] You know, make him want to grope you and paw at you!
- . . .
- [The slovenly girl is now immaculately dressed and groomed. The camera starts at her head and slowly pans down.]
- Narrator: Look at that hair... that skin... that mouth...
- Servo [as Narrator]: Those... n-nose.
- . . .
- Crow: We simply took your libido and starched and pressed it!
- [formerly slovenly girl walks off, quickly followed by young man]
- Crow [as young man]: Hey, I couldn't help but notice how much you look like everybody else!
- [The camera focuses on a woman with a good appearance. Shortly after, it focuses on a woman looking discomforted and fidgeting around.]
- Narrator: Clothes are important. Besides fitting well and looking well, the clothes should be appropriate for the occasion. Wearing inappropriate clothes, like these shoes—
- Servo [as the Narrator]: Is immoral.
- Narrator: —is a sure way to make yourself uncomfortable... and conspicuous.
- Crow: Expressing individualism is just plain wrong.
- Narrator: Besides accumulating sweat, the skin is also constantly picking up dirt, dust, grit, and other foreign particles.
- Crow: Skin sucks.
- Narrator: One of these is cleansing cream.
- Servo [as Narrator]: One of these is nitric acid. Choose wisely.
- [The short closes with the cleaned-up teens going to bed.]
- Narrator: And so... the end of a perfect day.
- Joel [as Narrator]: An entire day spent grooming.
- . . .
- Narrator: And you...
- Joel [as Narrator]: Jezebel!
- Narrator: ...by following these simple rules of body care and grooming, you too will [have] that quality of appearance, that feeling of well-being, so important to make your dreams of happiness come true.
- Crow [as Narrator]: And remember—when you touch yourself, the saints cry. Goodnight.
- [As we fade out...]
- Joel: KEEP WATCHING THE MEDICINE CABINETS! KEEP WATCHING THE MEDICINE CABINETS!
- Crow: You're next!
- [A few more names appear]
- Servo: [sarcastically] Oh, let's not forget these guys!
The Painted Hills (movie)

- Joel: Yeah, I'm afraid we're gonna be true bored men after this...
- Crow: Now, is this the real Old West, or the Roy Rogers Old West where they had electricity and cars?

- Crow: Mount Rushmore!...Before it was built.

- Crow [as Shep]: SNAUSAGES!
Gunslinger
- Dr. Forrester: [Stopping his scan of TV's Frank's brain and looking at the camera] Ah, Joel. Your experiment this week is your first western. It's called "Gunslinger" and it stars Beverly Garland in her pre-Dotty period.
- TV's Frank: Beverly Garland. [growls, but is cut off by another scan]
- Dr. Forrester: And it's directed by Roger Corman, so your brain might explode before Frank's does. [turns back to scan Frank before looking back quickly] Yippie-ki-yay, mama jama.
- [The movie begins and Rose Wood walks to the Sheriff's office. Thanks to the wide-angle shot, two criminals on horseback are revealed to the side.]

- Crow: [Under his breath] Corman...
- Servo: [As the criminals stop] Boy, she is slick. How'd she get by us?
- [In a barfight, a patron grabs Jake and throws him over the bar.]
- Joel: You know, he shoulda slid him across the bar.
- Servo: Oh, they hadn't invented that yet.
- Joel: Man, this movie is just sitting on my head and crushing it.
- [Hired assassin Cain Miro is busy in his room when he hears a knock on the door. He goes up to it and opens it... outward as bar owner Erika enters]

- Cain: Crazy coming up in here...
- Joel [as Cain]: ...in my hallway here.
- Cain: Only the good die young.
- Servo: Most of us are morally ambiguous, which explains our random dying patterns.
- [Mayor Polk puts his dead wife down, glares around the corner and reaches for where his guns should be.]
- Joel [as Polk]: Draw, er... wait a sec!
- [Polk goes into the barn and pulls out a pitchfork]
- Crow: [As Polk approaches Cain, to the tune of Green Acres] Doo-doo, do-do-do! The chores!
- Tom: Doo-doo, do-do-do! [scene switches to Cain aiming his gun] ...the hell?
- [A drunken Cain attempts to kiss Erika.]

- Mitchell: Well, I'm not.
- Kid: You are.

- Mitchell: What?
- Kid: What did you say?
- Mitchell: What you say?
- Kid: Did you say something?
- Servo: [Frustrated] AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
- Mitchell: You say something?
- Kid: You said buzz off.
- Mitchell: You're lying through your teeth.
- Kid: You're lying through your teeth.
- Mitchell: Buzz off, huh?

- [Brother looks inside a pot]
- Narrator: What's the matter?
- Servo [as Brother]: THERE'S A RABBIT IN THERE!
- Crow [as Announcer]: We've secretly switched their Folgers coffee...
- Narrator: The women of this family seem to feel that they owe it to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime.
- Mike [as Narrator]: So they're unsuspecting when they kill them.
- Mike [as Daughter]: Hi, Mom, I'm pregnant.
- [Brother, sporting a slicked-back hair style, cleans his room.]

- Crow [as Narrator]: What you are watching should have been edited in the final version. My apologies.
- Narrator: They speak with their dad as though they are genuinely glad to see him.
- Crow [as Narrator]: They're not, of course...
- [as the boys talk with their dad]
- Mike [as Junior]: Father, I had a feeling today.
- Servo [as Father]: Well don't, son.
- Mike [as Mother]: Hi, I'm Betty, and I'l be your wife tonight.
- [Daughter is still arranging the flowers while the family sits down.]

- [Father passes a food-laden plate to Daughter.]
- Narrator: They converse pleasantly while Dad serves.
- Mike [as Daughter]: No, I— I'll just have Saltines.
- Narrator: I said "pleasantly", for that is the keynote at dinnertime. It is not only good manners, but good sense.
- Crow [as Narrator]: Emotions are for ethnic people.

- Crow [as Father]: I'm moving to Fire Island, dear.
- Narrator: Be sure to tell Mother how good the food is.
- Mike [as Narrator]: ...even as you gag on it.
- [Brother gives the "okay" sign.]
- Servo [as Brother]: It stinks!
- Narrator: Don't monopolize the conversation and go on and on without stopping. Nothing destroys the charm of a meal more quickly.
- Mike [as Narrator]: …than having a personality.
- Narrator: Don't make unkind comparisons about your stand[ard of] living. The dinner table is no place for discontent. It makes Dad and Mother uncomfortable and unhappy.
- Crow [as Narrator]: …and they already dislike you enough.
- [Father has an extremely irritated look on his face.]
- Mike [as Father]: Well. That settles it. Spankings all around, then.
- Narrator: Do you begin to see now how a date with your family can be a truly special occasion?

- Mike [as Narrator]: WELL, DO YOU? BETTER SAY "YES", DAMMIT!
- Narrator: When the dinner hour at home is treated with a certain amount of graciousness and ceremony, it can be memorable. There is no family so poor but that the evening meal can be eaten in an atmosphere of warmth and gentleness.

- [As the short ends]
- Crow: You know, this makes me want to heat up a Libbyland frozen dinner and eat in front of the TV!

- . . .
- Kermes: That is why you and I will rule together with me as your...
- Servo: Dun-dun-dun!
- Kermes: ...advisor.
- Crow: Huh?!
- . . .
- [Queen Amoa rebukes Kermes as he looks on with a devastated look on his face.]
- Mike [as Kermes]: Why are you yelling at me? This is my greatest moment, stop it!

- Servo: What about girls young man? Girls?
- Mike: No, no, chisels!
- Joe: And I feel real good, because I'm a craftsman.
- Mike [as Joe]: And not a killer!

- Crow [as April]: Well that's a weird name!

- Servo [as Mary]: Jeff and I were going to get the racing car beds, but we decided on these.
- . . .
- Servo: Well, sort of a Westerny-Ginghamy-Oriental-Danish-Modernesque-Prairie School sort of thing, huh?
- Crow [as Jeff]: Here's how far I've gotten: LA!
- [Wilbur the fey angel sprinkles fairy dust on Jeff & Mary's house.]

- Servo [as Female Neighbor]: Should we get a gay man for our roof, honey?

The Brute Man
The Chicken of Tomorrow (short)
- [Over the short's title screen.]
- Crow: The Bill Clinton Story!
- Servo: The chicken of tomorrow in a deadly battle against the chicken of today!
- [Over a dedication in the opening credits]
- Crow: Dedicated to the chickens who lost their lives in the great chicken war.
- Mike: Wait a minute! Men and women breeding better poultry? What kind of sick experiment is this?
- Narrator: After all these years, whether the chicken or the egg came first is still the subject of a lot of good-natured debate.
- Servo: [chuckling] No, it isn't.
- [A flock of chickens is hastily gathered around a feeding trough. One of them is actually standing in the trough.]
- Servo [as chicken]: Betty, must you sit in dinner?
- Narrator: And one large and small farms everywhere, the search for a better chicken goes on.
- Servo: There it is! No wait, there!
- [As we begin to see what happens at the chicken farm]
- Mike [as Narrator]: If you're nice, we'll hook you up to the milking machine!
- Narrator: Of course, they have to be hatched before they can grow up, so let's start at the beginning, in the incubator.
- Mike [as Narrator]: [muffled] I'm in the incubator now...
- [A worker is placing eggs inside a tray.]
- Mike [as egg]: Hey, can I go to the bathroom?
- Servo [as egg]: No, stay in there.
- Mike [as egg]: Oh, come on. Can I go home?
- Servo [as egg]: No, the door's locked!
- . . .
- Crow: I've seen the episode where the eggs come in too fast and she starts putting them in her mouth!
- [A worker puts trays inside the incubator.]
- Narrator: The temperature is kept at 99 degrees to approximate the body heat of the hens.
- Crow [as Narrator]: And this fellow.
- . . .
- Narrator: This one unit holds 85,000 eggs.
- Servo: And one bathroom for all of them.
- [Watching footage of a baby chicken forming and hatching.]
- Mike: This is gonna be hot, hot, hot!
- . . .
- Servo: Mork calling Orson...
- Crow [as baby chick]: Hey, I'm trying to sleep in here!
- . . .
- Servo: That is one bloodshot eye.
- . . .
- Crow: Oh, wait. That's my Silly Putty.
- . . .
- Crow: [singing] How dry I am— [hiccups]
- . . .
- Narrator: And finally, the fully developed chick is ready to start breaking out of its shell.
- Servo [as Narrator]: Sticks of dynamite are arranged carefully around the perimeter.
- . . .
- Crow: [singing] Come on down and meet everybod— Oh, sorry.
- . . .
- Mike: I hate it when people tape their own deliveries.
- . . .
- Servo: Aren't there supposed to be pantyhose in there?
- . . .
- Crow [as baby chick]: Oh, what did I do last night?
- Servo [as baby chick]: Hey guys, it's God!
- Narrator: Sexing the chicks, or separating the males from the females, is a highly specialized trade.
- Servo: Yeah, for pervs!
- [A farmer inspects one of the chicks]
- Crow [as farmer]: Whoa, Milton Berle there...
- [A worker is sorting out baby chicks.]
- Crow [as worker]: Garage sale. Goodwill. Save for the kids.
- [The baby chicks are being thrown into a small box.]
- Mike [as baby chick]: It's nice. You know, it's small, the walls are neutral.
- Servo [as baby chick]: Hi, Cindy. I'm so glad I'm gonna be in your group. This is gonna be a fun group!
- Mike: 40 piece chicken nuggets to go!
- Narrator: But wait a minute, you may be saying...
- Crow [as Narrator]: Why am I watching this?
- Narrator: Can those chicks just out of the shell be sent without food on trips of a day, two days, even three?
- Servo: You bet!
- Narrator: Indeed they can!
- Servo: [surprised] ...Heh, I was right!
- [The truck carrying baby chicks is driving very slowly.]
- Narrator: Nevertheless, speed is essential and it's here that the motor truck plays a big part in poultry raising.
- Crow [as Narrator]: I said, "Speed is ESSENTIAL"!
- [As the truck drives as the scene fades.]
- Mike: That guy's escaping disguised as a chicken!
- [the next scene fades in]
- Crow: Chickens!
- [Two girls are feeding baby chicks.]
- Mike [as girl]: How many are you sitting on?
- Crow [as girl]: Dad went a little nuts this Easter.
- Narrator: Their immediate destination after leaving the incubator...
- Servo [as Narrator]: Broadway!
- Narrator: ...is the brooder house.
- Mike [as Narrator]: Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
- Narrator: From now on, their main job in life is to eat and grow.
- Servo: [singing] Eat and grow forever...
- [The narrator has talked about keeping paper on the floor to cover litter.]
- Narrator: After the first few days, the paper can be removed.
- Crow: Except for the sports section.
- Narrator: The range shelter should be very small, not holding more than a hundred birds.
- Mike [as Narrator]: Or migrant workers.
- Narrator: The shelter protects them from the sun and gives them a safe place to roost out of the way of rodents.
- [Over a shot of chickens frantically fluttering out of a hen house]
- Crow, Mike, Servo [as chickens]: RODENTS?! AAAAHHH!!
- [Over a shot of chickens eating]
- Servo [as chicken]: Heavens, I'm so fat. I just look at chicken feed and I gain weight.
- Crow [as chicken]: Does this taste funny to you?
- [On spacing range shelters to avoid chickens wandering off]
- Narrator: You know how chickens are.
- Servo: Yeah, they own everything.

- Servo: The one with the rats?
- Narrator: It's now a hotel... a pullet hotel.
- Mike: Rooms by the hour.
- [Over a group of chickens in the henhouse]
- Crow [as chicken]: Open your hymnals to number 325.
- . . .
- Tom [as chicken]: Everybody! Soylent Green is made from chickens!
- [On the trap nest, which is basically a chicken cage that can't be opened on the inside]
- Mike: There's no point; it's just funny!
- [The Narrator is talking about profitable egg production.]
- Narrator: A hen that lays 210 eggs a year and eats 70 pounds of feed is giving you 3 eggs for every pound you feed her.
- Mike [as Narrator]: She will live.
- Narrator: Keep that one.
- Crow [as Narrator]: She's worth millions.
- Narrator: But if she eats 70 pounds of feed and lays only 70 eggs a year, you better send her to the market or to your dinner table.
- Servo: Or put a warning slip on her desk.
- Narrator: ...and this is a good place to point out a few facts about eggs.
- Mike [as Narrator]: Stop throwing them at my car!
- [As the Narrator talks about cooling eggs and moisture.]
- Mike [as Narrator]: So put your mouth under a chicken.
- . . .
- Crow [as Narrator]: Lick your eggs, or have a friend lick them.
- [The narrator explains how the carrier system works]
- Narrator: When you've got as many birds to look after as this hatchery, you're pretty receptive to labor-saving devices. And this carrier system is one of the best. It runs the length of the building, and is used to carry feed to the different pens. It can be used also for gathering up manure. Saves a lot of back-breaking work.
- Servo [as chicken]: Hey, pal, feed me, then clean up my poops!
- [As a worker put seed in a feeding trough]
- Crow [as worker]: There's your appetizer, ladies, I'll be back to get your drink order.
- [After the narrator has explained the egg collecting process at great length]
- Mike: Eggs are complicated; they should cost like a hundred dollars each.
- [Showing a comparison of chickens as meat producers]
- Mike: It's Goofus and Gallant.
- . . .
- Crow: This could be your drumstick. This is the number to call.
- [Short cuts to a close-up of chicken being sliced]
- Crow T. Robot: May I have a piece of my own white meat please?
- . . .
- [Shot of cooked chicken being sliced very thinly]
- Servo: [dripping with sarcasm] Oh, thanks for the generous portion!
- . . .
- Crow: Yes, chicken sliced to the width of one electron.
- Servo: These must be models' portions.
- Mike [as server]: This one's for you, Miss Moss, and for you, Miss Turlington...
- . . .
- Crow: [in Ritzy accent] Yes, it's chicken. Glorious American chicken sliced the American way! (You can carry it in your wallet.)
- Narrator: But it's your pocketbook that profits most when you send this bird to market.
- [The next scene fades in]
- Mike [as Narrator]: We bring you now to market.
- [During the auction, as the auctioneer rambles off bids]
- Servo: Ah. He's drunk! Look at him.
- . . .
- [The shadowrama makes it look as if Mike, Servo, and Crow are sitting in the back row of the auction.]
- Servo: [to Mike] Put your hand up. Buy a chicken.
- Mike: [raises his hand] I want one...
- Crow: Alright, come on, sing, sing! Row, row, row— you're not singing!
- Narrator: Hundreds of live chickens can be speeded on their way to the dressing plant.
- Crow: Dressing plant? Sounds like fun.
- Servo: I want a new hat.
- [Shot of a gas station]
- Narrator: One truck can handle thousands of eggs and take them anywhere there to market.
- Mike: Even to the Texaco station.
- [As the short ends, a truck seems to move by itself.]
- Crow: There's no driver! The chickens are taking over!
The Brute Man (movie)
- ["Creeper" Hal Moffett sneaks into the apartment of blind Helen Paige, as usual seated at her piano.]
- Servo [as Moffett]: Uh... look, Helen. Other girls in the sorority asked me to talk to you about your incessant piano playing.
- [A cop opens the door and looks at an empty bedroom]
- Crow [as Cop]: [with exaggerated Irish accent] All right, show's over, nothin' fer me to see here. I'll just be about my business then...
- [Moffet examines the groceries that were delivered to him.]
- Mike [as Moffet]: They forgot my Fruit Brute cereal!
- Crow: [observing the number 23 painted above the Creeper's hideout] Hey, it's KTMA!
- Helen: Hal? Hal? Hal?
- Servo [as Helen]: Open the pod bay doors, Hal.
- [A newspaper headline reads "Philanthropist laid to rest".]
- Servo: Ah, look at that. "Philanthropist laid." It's always the philanthropists... rock stars and philanthropists.
- [over a closeup of the Creeper's face]
- Crow: Hey fella, why the long face?
- Mike: Now, come on...
- Crow: [laughing] I'm sorry, I couldn't...
- Mike: I begged you not to do that!
- Crow: I know...
- Servo: That hurts.
- Servo: He can't decide if he's a creeper, a peeper, a stalker, a walker, a backbreaker...
- Crow: In today's job market, you can't afford not to diversify.
- [The Creeper slowly climbs the ladder of a fire escape.]
- Crow: Ladies and gentlemen! In the center ring, the Creeper will now attempt the high...thing.
- [Mike and Servo both crack up.]
- Mike: [annoyed] Why didn't they just call this movie The Creeper? Brute Man, pah...
- Mike: A Producer's Releasing Corporation reminding you, don't fear the creeper.
Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell
- [Over the title screen]
- Mike: Hey, where's the umlaut?
- Servo: Oh, these guys are, like, warriors from Hell!
- [Deathstalker has a very 80's style haircut]
- Mike: Well, they missed on haircuts by roughly twelve hundred years.
- [Deathstalker is stick fighting on a log, with a hint of an accent of some sort.]

- Servo [as Michael McDonald character]: We're taking it to the streets!
- [Deathstalker gets shot down by a princess after saying something rude to her.]
- Crow: Well, it looks like I'm boxing the clown again tonight!
- [A warrior runs at Deathstalker, brandishing his sword wildly.]
- Servo [as warrior]: Duh-huh, kill! Huh huh...
- [As he lunges, the warrior gets caught in a trap that leaves him dangling by his leg from a tree.]
- Crow: Whoa! He set that thing for pheasants; that was lucky!
- Troxartis: [haltingly, overacting] This has. Nothingtodowith. Being RICH.
- Servo [as Troxartis]: I put the. Beatsinmyown. Script and I'm. Sticking WITH them.
- [An eagle flies overhead making a very odd, synthesizer-like squawk.]

- Deathstalker: ...Now here he is, drinking wine and chasing women.
- Mike: Spo-dee o-dee.
- Mike: This is one of the most ambitiously bad movies we have ever done.
- [A large mob of people (who have never been seen before this point in in the movie) attack Troxartis' castle; several of them scurry up a ladder over the top of the wall.]
- Mike [as attacker]: Remember, top rung not to be used as a step!
- Crow [as attacker]: Who are we?!
- [Deathstalker randomly appears outside the tower window to confront Troxartis.]
- Mike: What the— Uh? Th— Oh... [as Troxartis] You clever bastard. So the editor's working with you!

- Marinda: I love you!

- [Deathstalker's friend who looks like Michael McDonald is comforting him after losing Marinda.]

- . . .
- [The entire building is empty except for Nelson and Loring]
- Servo [as Loring]: So when do you think the people who work here are coming back?
- [Dr. Nelson is in his office with the African-American Dr. Loring, and is on the phone with General Perry.]
- General Perry: How's it looking?
- Ted Nelson: Not too good.
- Servo [as Nelson]: [whispering] There's a black guy in my office!
- . . .
- [Dr. Nelson asks General Perry when he expects to arrive.]
- General Perry: About 1600 hours... and I hope to hell you've found him by then.
- Mike: 1600 hours? So, like five months from now?
- [Ted Nelson is making soup, and grabs the hot part of the pot by mistake.]
- Ted Nelson: AADGKA!
- Servo: Ah, aadgka, of course.
- [Judy is preparing Ted's soup.]
- Servo [as Ted]: [sulkily] General wants to go find the aadgjka melting man.
- Ted Nelson: Steve escaped.
- Judy Nelson: Oh God.
- Mike [as Judy]: Aadgka?
- Judy Nelson: What're you gonna do?
- Crow [as Ted]: Well, first I've gotta lose a little weight.[N]
- Ted Nelson: Uh... did you get some crackers? I told you yesterday that we needed some crackers.
- Judy Nelson: Oh, I forgot. I knew there was something...
- Servo [as Judy]: [annoyed with herself] Aadgka.
- Judy Nelson: Y'know there's uh, there's a pad right by the phone y'know, you could write it down too.
- [She brings over his soup.]
- Mike: Y'know they made a mistake and they just went home with the actors.
- [Crow laughs over Judy asking about Steve.]
- Ted Nelson: [ignoring the question] So, we don't have any crackers?
- Judy Nelson: Ted. Steve?
- Crow: Raging Bull.
- Ted Nelson: Steve?
- Servo [as Ted]: Steve had crackers!
- Ted Nelson: I've got to go out and find Steve.
- Judy Nelson: Why you?
- Ted Nelson: Because nobody else is supposed to know.
- Crow [as Ted]: Rye crisps, Sociables, anything?!
- [General Perry is helping himself to the Nelsons' leftovers in their kitchen.]
- Mike: This man is a brilliant tactician.
- [The movie keeps cutting back to Judy asleep in her bed.]
- Mike: Couldn't they just put "ibid." up on the screen?
- Mike: You guys know, is there a credible melting man?
- [All the principal characters are dead or a melted pile of glop, but the film continues nonetheless.]
- Servo: What could there possibly be to wrap up? Everybody's dead!
- Mike: Well now the movie has to mop up after itself.
- [A janitor puts Steve West's melted remains into a garbage can.]
- Crow: [almost cracking up] So, how many monster movies end with a janitor scooping the monster into a garbage can?
- [At the film's end, another rocket launches into space.]
- Mike: So, they learned nothing.
- Servo: Yep.
- Crow: Well, I learned somethin', Mike: I learned that doctors don't care.
- Servo: I learned that southern California can get cold enough for a snorkel jacket.
- Mike: [reading the credit for Burr DeBenning] I learned never to name a child "Burr".
- Crow: Mike, I've written a short sketch about Burr DeBenning. Ahem... "Hi, what's your name?" "Burr." "Oh here, take my coat. Now what's your name?" "Burr!" Heh-heh... ha...
- Mike: Very good.
- Crow: I kill me.
- Servo: Well, I also learned never to scream "I'm Ted Nelson" to a security guard.
- Mike: I learned that half-eaten turkey legs make very tepid ironic statements.
- Crow: We learned it's good to have Saltines around your house.
- Servo: I learned that sheriffs are full of pyrotechnics.
- [Mike notices a credit for Jonathan Demme on the screen.]
- Mike: Jonathan Demme?! Ah, who cares. Anyway?
- Servo: Uh, once again, we learned that NASA is staffed by two or three people, tops.
- Crow: And they hire civilian doctors to head up their recovery program.
- Servo: What else, what else? ...Oh, I learned that some nurses can't find properly fitting uniforms. You?
- Mike: Musta learned something else... Oh, we learned some cats can open the refrigerator, get the milk, bring the milk into the middle of the kitchen, throw it up in the air, drop it on the floor, shatter it all over the place.
- Servo: Good lesson.
- Crow: Well, we also learned that if you're a melting man, you can have a short but successful career as a sprinter.
- Servo: Me, I learned that I should never marry a passive, immobile doctor named Ted Nelson who doesn't ever do anything. And I certainly shouldn't have his baby.
- Mike: I think that's very sound. Oh, you know what? I learned that I can use the word "Aadgka!" as an expletive, if necessary.
- Servo: Aadgka!
- Crow: I learned that if you're gonna have a general over for dinner, you better have turkey legs and beer on hand.
- Servo: Well, we learned that lights and lighting really aren't necessary to make a film these days.
- Mike: And neither are actors.
- Servo: Well, I think I learned that I shouldn't go to Saturn unless I have the proper protective gear.
- [Mike gets up from his seat and stretches.]
- Crow: Yep, yep. Right now I'm learnin' that even though this movie is about eighty minutes long, it feels like Berlin Alexanderplatz.
- Servo: I also learned that some sheriffs aren't married. Did you know that?
- Mike: [sitting down] Yes I did. I learned it was impossible to look good in the '70s.
- Crow: I learned that even if you chop a monster's arm off, it'll only make him stronger and more powerful.
- Servo: Yep. And I learned that you can just fill in crucial elements of the plot whenever it's convenient. I did not know that.
- Mike: We've learned that if you're put in charge of an urgent, top secret government project, it really doesn't matter if you do anything.
- Crow: Yah, yup. And we learned that sometimes, people can abuse spirit gum and latex.
- Mike: Oh, I hear ya.
Escape 2000
- [As the gang enters the theater, the famous Samuel Goldwyn logo appears.]
- Mike: Hey, why is John Madden signing Samuel Goldwyn's signature?
- Crow: Samuel Goldwyn, Father of the Constitution.
- [As the film starts, squads of Stormtrooper-like men roughly drag people out of homes. In the background, a loudspeaker continually blares]
- Loudspeaker: You are ordered to leave the Bronx! I repeat, you are ordered to leave the Bronx!
- [A man is thrown out a window]
- Mike [as Man]: I forgot my luggage...!
- Loudspeaker: This area has been declared uninhabitable, and destined for demolition! Leave now, and leave peacefully!
- [The same man is roughly grabbed and thrown into the street]
- Crow [as Man]: Okay, you convinced me!
- Loudspeaker: You have nothing to fear! The government guarantees to relocate all of you in comfortable, up-to-date, alternative accommodations!
- [The man, and others like him, are thrown against a wall and collapse, cringing.]
- Mike: [snickers]
- Servo: Mmm-hmm.
- Loudspeaker: Leave the Bronx!
- Servo [as Loudspeaker]: Even though this is Italy, leave the Bronx!
- Loudspeaker: I repeat, you are ordered to leave the Bronx!
- Mike [as Loudspeaker]: You, too, Henry Silva.
- Loudspeaker: The area has been declared uninhabitable and destined for demolition!
- Crow [as Loudspeaker]: Therefore, we suggest you—
- All [as Loudspeaker]: Leave the Bronx!
- Loudspeaker: ...leave peacefully! You have nothing to fear! The government guarantees to relocate all of you in comfortable...
- Servo: So leave the Bronx.
- Mike: Just leave the Bronx.
- [The loudspeaker fades out as we see a van with a radio antenna.]
- Servo [as loudspeaker on van]: Vote Johnson! Vote Johnson!
- . . .
- Mike: Hey, I had my radio on. I didn't hear... are we supposed to leave the Bronx?
- Loudspeaker: Isolate area P-6.
- Crow: And we have a Bingo! Hold your cards, please.
- [Several jumpsuit-clad stormtroopers run out of building about to be demolished.]
- Crow [as Trooper]: [terrified] Gary saw a silverfish! Aaaahh!
- [As a team of stormtroopers raid a building, one stands nearby, next to a sign.]
- Servo [as Stormtrooper]: Hang on Earl, I gotta read this sign here: "Leave the Bronx". Well, gee.
- [The Disinfesters, wearing shiny, reflective uniforms, move through a gutted building.]
- Crow [as Disinfester]: I gotta tell you, looks like everybody's left the Bronx, Ted.
- Servo: Pretty much.
- Mike: We gratefully acknowledge the Reynold's Wrap corporation for donating the costumes.
- [They come across a homeless man]
- Mike [as Bum]: Well, I s'pose I better leave the Bronx.
- [He looks up at the Disinfesters]
- Crow [as Bum]: I thought it was a suggestion!
- [The troopers close in on him]
- Servo: When Habitat for Humanity cracks down!
- Bum: Hey, wait a minute, you guys! Look, OK, I'll leave!
- Disinfester: You should have left earlier. Eliminate!
- Mike: Wow, the Orkin Men have snapped!
- [A man and a woman are heard yelling at each other in their apartment]
- Servo: They're rehearsing a David Mamet play in there.
- [Reporter Moon Grey tries to expose Clark's plot.]
- Crow: A fascist Italian? Come on!!
- Moon Grey: [being dragged from a press conference] ...and the GC Corporation sucks!
- [The other reporters whirl around towards President Clark]
- Mike [as Reporter]: Is that true? Do you suck?
- [The Bronx's residents are being led into vans marked "Desinfestation Annihilation Squad"]
- Crow: [chuckles] I think they blew their cover here!
- [Trash escapes from his parents' apartment only to be almost blown up in a stairwell.]
- Crow [as Trash]: D'oh, the Bronx is something which I should have left!
- [A heavy steel ladder hangs dangerously above an unconscious Trash]
- Servo: Ah. The ladder of Damocles.
- Crow: Yeah, so far his greatest adversary is a ladder.
- President Clark: So... You let them both get away... The girl and that delinquent Trash.
- Wrangler: [chuckles] I don't think so. They're both... under... [points at random place in Bronx model] ...there! [points somewhere else] ...or maybe there!
- Servo: ...right there!
- Wrangler: But somewhere there!
- [Mike and the 'bots laugh.]
- President Clark: Maybe you intend to go down... to convince them... to waste themselves with some dynamite?
- Wrangler: [chuckles] I don't think so.
- Crow: You guys didn't rehearse, did you?
- [A mine goes off underneath two of President Clark's bodyguards]
- Mike [as Bodyguard]: Oh what did you step in!
- [Disinfesters jump out of a van.]
- Servo [as Disinfester]: Hi! Kill us!
- [They get shot.]
- Servo [as Disinfester]: Thank you!
- [As Trash blows up a van]
- Mike [as DJ]: Alright, we're here in the KROQ Supervan giving out a— [The van explodes. Crow screams.]
- Servo [as Trash]: Hey, rats. That was my van!
- [As the film ends, a crane shot shows dozens of bodies sprawled around burning ruins.]
- Mike: Cleanup in Borough Five!
Laserblast
- [The credits display: "Laserblast".]
- Crow: Terrible name for laser eye surgery… scares away the customers.
- [A mutated man tries to hide from a spaceship, with a laser cannon attached to his arm.]
- Servo [as Elmer Fudd]: I'm hunting spacecwaft...hehehehehehe.
- . . .
- [A closeup of the man reveals his gaunt complexion and the disc-shaped apparatus on top of the laser cannon on his arm.]
- Mike: Edward CDplayerhands.
- [After a scene with the aliens, followed by an unrelated scene with Billy's mother leaving for Acapulco, the film fades to another seemingly unrelated shot of a van driving along the road.]
- Mike: Well, now on to movie three!
- [Twenty minutes into the movie, and nothing important has happened. Billy is hanging around a gas station.]
- Servo: So, let's recap the movie so far: somebody went to Acapulco, and somebody almost bought gas.
- [Shortly after finding a laser cannon in the desert, Billy begins hopping around oddly and pretending to blow stuff up.]
- Billy: Pow! Pa-pow!
- Servo: After all that, it's "pa-pa-pow".
- Mike: Once you're over the age of 11, you should not say "pow".
- [Billy continues to prance about the desert with the laser cannon on his arm, moving rather daintily.]
- Servo: I think he's doing Frampton Comes Alive.
- Mike: ...So, it's a thing that makes you waltz.
- Crow: Won't he be surprised to learn that it doesn't go "pow" but "fffwissshh"!
- [Billy gleefully blasts away at shrubs and sand with said cannon.]
- Mike [as Billy]: Yeah... I think you are gonna detail my van for seventy-five dollars!
- [Kathy sits by Billy's van, waiting for Billy to arrive.]
- Mike: ...So we're watching someone waiting for someone.
- Servo: There's a point where it stops being a movie!
- Kathy: Gee, Billy...if only you were more ordinary.
- Mike: More ordinary? Man, he'd have to work at that.
- [A cake is brought out at the pool party, causing an overexcited reaction from the partygoers]
- Crow: Teens love their cake pool party!
- [At a pool party, Chuck is serving hot dogs to a good-looking girl in a bikini.]
- Chuck: Whoa, mama. Wouldn't Chuck like to give you his red hot frank.
- Girl: From what I hear, Chucky, it ain't so hot.
- Crow [as Chuck]: She undercut the subtle nuance of my wiener joke!
- . . .
- [Chuck pushes the girl into the pool.]
- Mike [as Chuck]: There! I think I've taught you not to rebuff my wiener innuendo!
- [Billy's and girlfriend Kathy's hands are shown roving over each other's exposed skin in an intimate moment between the two while Mike and the 'bots express their repulsion.]
- Crow: This movie means two things to me: sheet cake and back fat!
- [As the ending credits roll, Mike leafs through a copy of Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide.]
- Mike: OK, let's look in Maltin's book, uh he gave this two-and-a-half stars... ooh, My Favorite Year barely edges it out with three stars.
- Crow: Huh.
- Servo: Look here, Hannah and her Sisters is superior only by one star.
- Mike: Oh wow.
- Crow: [watching the film] Oh great, now a tire fire starts just off camera!
- [Tom coughs. Mike turns a page.]
- Mike: OK. Umm, ah, look, hey—Leonard Maltin gave the same two-and-a-half stars to My Dinner With Andre.
- Crow: Uhh—
- Servo: [disgusted] Name of the Rose... this is a better film than Name of the Rose! It only got two stars!
- Crow: Being There, two stars.
- Mike: Uh, Lucas Tanner the movie was directed by Richard Donner... I just thought I'd point that out.
- Servo: Oh. Good.
- Mike: Lemme see here...
- Crow: [reading the credits] Y'mean, y'mean to tell me that Ron Masak and Eddie Deezen get billing over Roddy McDowall?
- Servo: Look Mike, Birdman of Alcatraz, three stars. Marginally better than Laserblast.
- Crow: [still reading the credits] They spelled Roddy McDowall's name wrong...
- Servo: [leaning in] What else you got?
- Mike: Oh, here we go, Full Metal Jacket, three stars.
- Crow: Hm?
- Servo: Shame, isn't it.
- Mike: Oh, hey, Seven Samurai, two stars.
- Crow: [incredulous] What?!
- Mike: I'm kidding.
- Crow: Oh.
- Servo: I hope so.
- Mike: According to this, A Fish Called Wanda was as good a film as Laserblast.
- Crow: [dismissive] D'oh...
- Servo: Broadcast News, Witness, three stars—barely superior to Laserblast.
- Mike: Mm-hm.
- Crow: Same for Diner.
- Mike: Yeah, hm. Oh, here we go—this was a better movie than Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
- Crow: Well, that's possible...
- Servo: And the same caliber as Last Crusade—two-and-a-half stars.
- Mike: Oh. And, uh, and yet: Blame It On the Bellboy... four stars.
- Servo: [unbelieving] Where?
- Crow: [incredulous] What?
- Mike: No, I'm kidding.
- Servo: Oh, you... You... jeez...
- Mike: So, Kim Milford's greasy, pop-eyed performance was every bit as good as F. Murray Abraham's tortured performance as Salieri in Amadeus.
- Crow: According to Leonard Maltin, yes, Mike.
- Servo: Bagdad Café, brilliant subtle comedy—no better than Laserblast.
- Mike: Here's where it gets hard—Harry and the Hendersons is every bit as good as Laserblast.
- Crow: Carson McCullers' classic The Heart is a Lonely Hunter—no better than Laserblast.
- [Servo notices Mike is hiding something and tries to read it.]
- Mike: [reluctant] No, no—
- Servo: Uhp, John Schlesinger's Oscar-winning thriller Marathon Man—on par with Laserblast, two-and-a-half stars.
- Mike: Right, so Laurence Olivier's chilling performance as Szell, the White Angel, no better than the butt-faced sheriff in Laserblast.
- Crow: Again, according to Leonard Maltin, yes, Mike.
- Mike: OK, ah—
- Servo: Ah, look here, look here, Outlaw Josey Wales AND Unforgiven! Oscar-winner. Quintessential Westerns, Eastwood at his finest. However, I think you know where we're headed with this, Mike.
- Mike: Uh, yeah...
- Servo, Mike: Same as Laserblast—
- Servo: Two-and-a-half stars.
- Mike: Oh, here we go, here's a couple more. Sophie's Choice—
- Servo: Uh huh.
- Mike: Uh... here's one, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory—
- Servo: No!
- Mike: The Great Santini—
- Servo: Oh, I can't believe that!
- Mike: All two-and-a-half stars.
- Servo: Two-and-a-half stars.
- Mike: The same quality.
- Crow: Also known as "Ace", by the way.
- Mike: Yes, "Ace".
- Servo: [as they leave] Peers to Laserblast.
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (This Island Earth)
- [The film begins with a flyby of the Satellite of Love, orbiting over Earth. We then cut to Mike finishing up his daily running exercise. Gypsy, who's holding a towel, watches Mike as he finally finishes his morning routine and goes for a human-scale sized hamster water feeding canister.]
- Gypsy: Mornin', Mike!
- Mike: [exhausted] Oh, morning, Gypsy! What have you got for me? [drinks water from the human-scale sized hamster water feeding canister nozzle]
- Gypsy: Oxygen-nitrogen mixes within required standards. We are currently at low-orbit over Southern Madagascar, and that wonderful smell, there's a lamb roast I have in the oven.
- Mike: [taking the towel from Gypsy and dries his sweat off from his face] And sweet yams?
- Gypsy: Affirmative! Oh, and I compiled today's weather service reports! [Mike and Gypsy stroll over to the main desk] Here's a hard-copy! [gives a hard-copy version of the satellite's daily newspaper to Mike, which whom he starts reading] The Cubs lost again.
- Servo: [comes out of one of the desk's pothole hatches] Dum-da-dum-dum-dum.... oh, why, hello Mike! Everything working fine on the ol' Satellite of Love, today? Hm? No dangerous problems or horrible mishaps in sight? Hm?
- Mike: No, Tom. everything appears nominal.
- Servo: Ah, nominal! Good! Good! So, I guess that means you're not worrying about what that rhythmic pounding might be?
- Mike: [listens to the sound/noise] Yeah, what is that?
- Servo: Yeah, what is that, hm? I'm a highly sophisicated robot, Mike, and I'm telling you, this is not something you should be hearing. Something's causing this, Mike. Hm? Now, let's think... I'm here, you're here, Gypsy's here....
- Mike: Okay, Tom. Where's Crow?
- Servo: Where's Crow? Huh. I'm not supposed to say anything, but I did see the little moron headed towards the basement with a pickaxe in his hand!
- Mike: [Turning to Gypsy, alerted] Gypsy, go to Condition Yellow! We gotta stop him!
- Gypsy: Roger! [familiar Commercial Sign alarm is active]
- [We cut to Crow in the S.O.L.'s maintenance basement bay, inevitably making yet another escape attempt by digging his way through the hull with a pickaxe.]
- Crow: [singing It's a Long Way to Tipperary] It's a long way to tipperary... [*Thunk!*] To the sweetest girl I know...! [*Thunk!*] Goodbye to Noah Beery... [*Thunk!*] Hello Harold LLOOOOOOYD...! [*Thunk!*]
- Mike: [O.S.] Crow!
- Crow: Huh?
- Mike: Crow, listen, you gotta stop!
- Crow: Oh! Hi, Mike! I found a perfect spot! Once I break through this wall, we'll tunnel our way right back to Earth! [*Thunk!*]
- Servo: [hovering down] Crow, you big dope! You can't tunnel through space!
- Crow: Come, come, boys! We must confound Jerry at every turn! [*Thunk!*] [continues singing]
- Mike: [quickly rushes to Crow] Crow, no! You'll breach the hull!
- [Crow breaches the satellite's hull as he tries to escape, causing the air to be sucked out.]
- Mike: [quickly rushing to something to hang onto for dear life] WOAAAH! CROOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!
- Crow: Woah, I didn't expect this!
- Servo: Attaining.... Maximum RPM.... Adjust pitch and yaw thrusters..... Stabilize! There, that should do it— [gets sucked towards hole] WOOOAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
- [Mike quickly catches Servo, screaming for dear life, by the hand.]
- Crow: Wow, this is confusing! Uh, Mike, you wanna hand me my calculations?
- [A wad of paper is blown across the bay and hits Crow in the face.]
- Crow: Thank you! Wow, look at that: "Breach Hull - All Die"! Even had it underlined! Hah!
- [Mike is still holding on to the screaming Servo for his dear life.]
- Servo: [screaming] WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAA-AH! OH! OH! I DON'T WANNA DIE! OHHH! MOMMY! MOMMY! AAAHHHHH! I LOVE YOU, MIIIIIIIKE! [*Sproing!*] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
- [Servo is pulled out of Mike's hand and straight towards the hole.]
- Mike: SERVO!
- [Servo ends up landing right-side up on the hole with his hoverskirt.]
- Mike: [impressed and satisfied] Attaboy, Servo!
- Crow: I won't do that again!
- . . .
- Servo: Hey, I'm experiencing a sensation altogether new to me, and frankly... I LOVE IT!
- Mike: Now, Crow, I told you: no more escape attempts.
- Crow: Well believe me Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and... I went ahead anyway.
- Mike: Now, here you go. [pulls Tom off the hole, replacing him wth Crow's helmet that he removed earlier]
- Servo: [upsettingly] Aw, darn!
- [*Ding! Ding! DING! DING!*]
- Gypsy: It's time! Dr. F is calling for you!
- [We cut to see Dr. Forrester on the Hexfield Viewscreen, looking through a strand of film reel. Mike and the 'bots wheel in.]
- Dr. Forrester: Ah! Mike! Robots! I'm feeling particularly evil, because today's experiment is a stinky, cinematic suppository called This Island Earth! You may all just bow down before me after this stink-burger! Say, come to think about it, I don't believe you bowed down before me, recently!
- Mike: Uh, sure, we have! Last week!
- Dr. Forrester: No, no, no. I think that was more of a curtsy of a bow. So, why won't we all just bow down... NOW? [cuts off life support systems]
- Mike: Now, see, I don't see the reason why you make us— [starts choking]
- [Mike and the 'bots start conforming to Dr. Forrester.]
- . . .
- Crow: [panicking] Bowing, sir!
- Tom: [*Dialogue speed not understandable*]
- [Pleased, Dr. Forrester restores life support systems. Mike and the 'bots get up from the floor.]
- Mike: Okay, Dr. Forrester! Geez!
- Crow: What a dickweed!
- Dr. Forrester: Well, Now that we have our little fun, prepare yourself for... oh, but before I start the experiment, uh, did you... y'know... go?
- Mike, Crow, Servo: [dejected] Yes...
- Dr. Forrester: Becuase I don't want to have to stop the movie before... y'know...
- Mike, Crow, Servo: You won't...
- Dr. Forrester: Then, prepare yourself for This Island Earth! [pulls a lever]
- [*Movie Sign Alarm*]
- Mike: Oh! We got MOVIE SIGN!
- [Mike and the 'Bots rush to the auditorium, screaming along the way, while the camera treks down through the famous Countdown Door Hallway that leads to the auditorium.]
This Island Earth (movie)
- [Universal-International credit appears on screen, as well as a globe-like Earth.]

- Mike: Notice how big Japan is?
- [Universal-International credit appears on screen]
- Mike: Isn't the fact that it's Universal make it International?

- Mike: Washingtonland, the new Disney theme park!
- [The camera pans over a shot of a city with a baseball field being in the middle of the shot.]
- Crow: Hey! You can see the Cubs losing!
- [The camera pans over a shot of a snow-capped mountain range.]
- Servo: Oh jeez, there's soccer teams laying all over the place!
- [Meacham's plane, engines out, is coasting in to a crash landing when it is suddenly suffused with a mysterious green glow.]
- Mike [as Meacham]: Suddenly I have a refreshing mint flavor.
- Servo: Early LSD tests in the Air Force.
- [Joe running towards the Jeep]
- Crow: Into the Weenie Mobile! WEENIE MAN AWAY!
- [In the lab, through a viewport, we see a rectangular metal slab suspended above a squat, boxy metal coil.]
- Mike: Oh, yeah. This is when science didn't have to have any specific purpose.
- Dr. Meacham: Lowering the cylinder.
- Servo [as Meacham]: Inserting the breakfast pastry.
- Crow [as Narrator]: [darkly] The secret government Eggo project.
- Servo [as Meacham]: Contact Dr. Jemima!
- Mike [as Meacham]: God, I love the blueberry ones best.
- [Meacham flips a switch. The toaster-like coil starts to red with heat, and we hear a pinging sound.]
- Dr. Meacham: Increase the rate of reaction.
- Servo [as Meacham]: Start warming the syrup!
- Mike [as Meacham]: Yum!
- [Cal and Joe play with some knobs and dials. The "toaster" emits loud grinding noises.]
- Dr. Meacham: Check rate of radioactive decay.
- Crow [as Meacham]: Increase the Flash Gordon noises and put more science stuff around.[N]
- . . .
- [At the end of the experiment, the toaster object blows up.]
- Mike [as Meacham/Morrison]: Oh, my God! My waffle! Oh, the humanity!
- [A loud beeping noise follows post-explosion.]
- Mike: Fries are up!
- Joe: Here's something my wife could use around the house.
- Crow: A man?
- Meacham: This isn't paper. It's some sort of metal.
- Crow [as Joe]: No, sir. That's paper!
- [Dr. Meacham and Joe have just upacked the parts to the Interocitor.]
- Tom Servo: But before unpacking - D'OH!
- Meacham: There are 2,486 parts.
- [Joe is stepping around the spread out Interocitor parts. Crow makes a loud crunching sound.]
- Crow [as Joe]: Uh, 485, sir!
- [As Joe walks around the parts, Crow keeps making crunching noises with every step Joe takes.]
- Joe: Where do we start?
- Meacham: Right here. [points towards strange symbol on blueprint.]
- Mike [as Meacham]: At Goofy Clown Face!
- Joe: You know what my kids would say...
- Tom: [interrupting] "You're not my real father!"
- Joe: "Dig this crazy, mixed-up plumbing!"
- Meacham: Plug it in, Joe.
- Mike: Doesn't even have any kids. Poor, deluded Joe.
- Exeter: My name is Exeter.
- Mike [as Exeter]: Doug Exeter.
- Exeter: Stand aside, please. You too, Dr. Wilson.
- Servo [as Exeter]: No, farther towards the killzone, please!
- Crow [as Exeter]: Yeah, God I'm good!
- [Meacham notices the plug for the Interocetor.]
- Servo [as Meacham]: Dear God, I left the iron plugged in!
- [Meacham rushes over to unplug the Interocetor, which starts sparking, causing him to lose balance. Joe rushes over to help him up.]
- Crow [as Joe]: Oh, come here, you big, dumb dope!
- [The Interocetor is now ablaze.]
- Servo: Quick, get the baking soda!
- Mike: Boy, the landlady's going to be mad!
- Servo [as landlady]: [imitates knocking noise] Are you boys cooking up there?!
- Mike: No!
- Servo [as landlady]: Are you building an Interocetor?!
- Mike: [casually] NO!
- [Meacham pushes a microphone-like Geiger counter probe toward the interocitor wreckage.]

- Mike: You know, a lot of people have compared this to the chariot scene in Ben-Hur?
- Servo: Oh?
- Mike: Yeah, they usually say something like, "Ben-Hur was really good. This one totally sucked."
- [Ryder dodges dozens of laser beams fired by Enforcers from about 20' away]
- Servo: Why is he so impossible to hit? Why do they keep missing the slow, giant, white thing?
- [Director David Winters favors us with another scene set in a possibly-abandoned boiler room]
- Servo: Ha ha, good, good, back to the rusting septic system of this FUTURISTIC SPACE SHIP!
- Kalgan: I'm going to use this laser on your teeth. It's not unsimilar to ancient dentistry, not that you'd know anything about that.
- Servo [as Kalgan]: You're too stupid to know anything about dental history.
- Lea: You bastard!
- Mike [as Lea]: How dare you insult my knowledge of ancient dentistry!

- [During the long end credits, generic 80s music is playing]
- Servo: Okay, okay Mike, be honest with us. This music kind of really gets your blood going?
- Crow: Yeah Mike, this is your music done by your people, so I blame you for this entire movie.
- Servo: Yeah, it's just like you to make a movie like this. Geez Mike!
- Mike: Hey, I hated it too! What're you picking on me for?
- Crow: Well, you were a young guy during the '80s, weren't you? This is your world, admit it.
- Mike: Uhhh...
- [The music slows down to a power ballad style]
- Crow: Okay, now this. This here is the kind of music you get all weepy at at the end of a drunken Friday night, sitting there with your hair all feathered, scarfing down uh, cold potato skins.
- Servo: Ahh, your attempt to get little Susie what's-her-name drunk on lime vodka ended in humiliating rejection. So you sit there all mushy and sentimental, reciting to yourself the words to some song by Night Ranger. You're pathetic.
- Crow: Yeah, now maybe one homely girl feels sorry for you for a second, but then she sees how stinking drunk you are and gets disgusted.
- Servo: And, and maybe the first chair trombone player from the high school band comes by you know, and he takes pity on you, tries to drive you home and all. Oh but no, Mike! You wanna swerve home in your cherried-out Dodge Charger!
- Crow: Yeah, you wind up wrestling for your keys with the guy, and he drops you - with one punch - and he leaves. And you lie there knowing you got your butt kicked by the leader of the high school band!
- Servo: You're pathetic.
- Crow: You and your '80s!
- Servo: Your precious '80s!
- Crow: You know it would've continued to be the '70s if not for you!
- Servo: Yeah!
- Mike: All right, all right, that's it, that tears it!
- [Mike attacks Crow and the three begin fighting on the floor]
- Crow: You want a piece of me! It's go time, '80s man!
- Servo: Come on cool-breeze! Ow owie ow don't!
- [After a while Mike sits up]
- Mike: Wait, wait you guys, wait, this isn't us man.
- [Pause of a second]
- Servo: Yes it is, you hair-feathering freak! Get him!
- Crow: No, no, Servo, he's right, he's right. This movie has us turning on each other! It won't end! These credits just won't end! [sobbing]
- Servo: [sobbing] It's just like the stupid '80s, they never ended either!
- Mike: No no, actually they did end Tom, there there, it's okay. See, see there's the copyright, that means it's over.
- Servo: [sobbing] I'm sorry, Mike!
- Crow: [sobbing] Sorry, Mike!
- Mike: It's all over, you guys. I'm sorry too.

- Guard: Come on, this way! [They run down the false route]
- Mike [as Guard]: Even though I see them running the other way!
- [Lisa arrives at the airstrip, wearing two kinds of plaid]

- Servo: Great, now the garbage truck's backing up!
- [Nick and Lisa are shown together in the new, dystopian future]
- Servo: I hope they end up together... at the bottom of a well torn apart by animals!!
- Crow: The movie really heightens the lack of interest in the film.
- Servo: Yeah, I think—huh?
- [As Nick and Lisa's plane crashes towards the rocky shore of a lake, the camera pans to the plane's altimeter]
- Servo: They're running out of Alt!
- [Cut to a view of the speedometer.]
- Eddie: And their Miffnots [MPH KNOTS] are goin' down!
- Lisa: Nick!
- Crow [as Lisa]: I was shaving this morning and got a nick!
- [Eddie hits Crow in the head and knocks him on the floor.]
- Eddie: [irritated] Get up! You're all right.

- Crow: He's climbing an Ent!
- Servo: [in a deep, Entish voice] Hoom hom, get off me, hm.
- . . .
- [Later in that scene, Robertson shoots Nick and kills him.]
- Crow: He died as he lived: mud-stained and splaying.
- [Then, a conveniently placed tree branch falls of the tree and flattens Robertson.]
- Servo: [Satisfied] Oh. Well that's nice. Thank you, movie!
- [As a static shot of a tree goes on for quite a while]
- Servo: Did the tree contribute money to the film? Why are they showing this?
- [Nick types in commands to erase the floppy disks containing his time travel software]
- Servo: So, eight 5¼" floppies hold the keys to time travel.
- Mike: Delete copies of film? Yes. Delete memory of film from mankind's consciousness? Yes.

- . . .
- Mike: All these people bear... some responsibility, you know.
- [The penultimate "thanks" are to "The citizens and officials of Rutland, Vermont"]
- Servo: Which means I really, really hate the citizens and officials of Rutland, Vermont. I'm not kidding, Mike. I never liked the citizens and officials of stupid Rutland, Vermont! This is just the nail in the coffin, as far as I'm concerned. Go to hell, citizens and officials of Rutland, Vermont!
- Crow: Filmed in Vermont: the other, smaller Wisconsin!
- [Pearl is holding a pledge drive. Servo is trying to call in, but Mike is holding Servo's arm, stretching out the spring.]
- Servo: Gimme! Come on, there's still much more to tote!

- Servo: Oh sure, Mike. Go watch your Websters, and your Facts of Lifeses, and your Who's The Bossesesses!

- [The movie's theme plays]

- [Title card is shown]
- Servo: [with monotone sarcasm] Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. That is funny.

- [The gray-haired and fat head of NoviCorp is giving a speech during the opening credits.]
- Mike: Wow. TV's Frank!

- [Over a shot of Fingal's workplace]
- Crow: SAT farms of the future!
- [Explaining Fingal's problem, secretly watching movies doing work]

- Servo: So aging lesbian nuns run the future?
- [A shuttle passenger dashes impoverished Fingal's hopes of "doppling" into a stallion.]

- Crow: Whoa, huge slam on anteaters out of nowhere!
- [At Nirvana Village, workers pass by Fingal with "doppling" people on a tray.]
- Servo: Oh, look. Must be a Jack-In-The-Box in the food court.
- [A boy looks at routing tags while the teacher is explaining what the colors mean.]
- Boy: And blue, like this?
- Teacher: Well, that's rather unusual. We can talk about it later.
- Boy: Is it sexy?
- Teacher: We'll talk about it later! Now come along, the class is waiting in the doppling room.

- Fingal: At least I'm not an anteater.
- Mike: This movie just hates anteaters!
- . . .
- Fingal: This cost me every credit I have?
- Mike: He's gonna start flinging it any minute now!
- . . .
- Mike [as Fingal]: I'm as clumsy as a stupid, repulsive anteater!

- Servo: Is this still the Officially Sanctioned Boring Part?
- . . .
- Fingal: It's a good thing we don't have to like each other, isn't it? Because you're definitely not my kind of woman!

- [In the simulated bar "The Place", Fingal talks to bar-owner Rick.]

- [Fingal is trying to write a computer program while in the computer.]

- Servo: Lay off the anteaters! Come on!

- Guilty! Guilty!
- G-U-I-L … T-Y!
- Whoo! Yaaaay!
- [Liara tells Chapman that Rheton's different atmosphere caused him to shrink.]
- Liara: You see, oxygen in your atmosphere would restore you immediately to your regular size.
- Crow: So people are just balloons?
- [During another flashback sequence...]

- . . .
- [The flashback includes a moment that only happened a few scenes earlier.]

- Servo [as Kobras]: Stuffing or potatoes!
- [After Kobras has been pronouncing "Puma" the British way the entire movie, the Satellite of Love crew finally gets tired of it.]
- Kobras: You can not escape me, Pyu-ma Man!
- Crow: PU-ma Man!
- Mike: Oh, is that right? Dee-onald?
- Kobras: You're just a small... insignificant... human being!
- Servo: No, no, HOO-man being... oh, wait.
- Kobras: Because you come from Earth...
- Servo [as Kobras]: Corn grows in you.
- Kobras: And to Earth you shall return!
- Mike: Huh? That was an odd thing to say, even for him.
- [The bad guys, having examined Tony's inert body, drive off. Tony comes out of his trance.]
- Vadinho: You've succeeded! They think you're dead, and now they will leave you alone.
- Mike: To be left alone—the goal of every great hero!
- [As Tony is nowhere to be seen, Vadinho beats the snot out of Kobras' henchmen.]
- Crow: So, basically, the hero is this guy. I think it's time we all face that fact!
- [Vadinho has gone aboard the alien space craft and it goes off into the sun set.]
- Mike: And we hear the dim cry of an anal probe.
Werewolf
- [Mike is lagging behind, so Servo and Crow enter the theater alone. Title card is shown.]
- Servo: I don't know, you had him last! [laughs]
- Crow: You can't say that! You're gonna get in trouble! That's a really stupid joke, and I'm gonna tell Mike!

- [Mike enters.]
- Mike: Hey, guys.
- Servo: [screams] YAH!
- Crow: Mike, the title came up and it said Werewolf, and then Servo said "I don't know, you had him last!" And...and I...I think that was a really stupid joke...

- Crow: Yeah, to Catfish Chapstick, so the joke doesn't work.
- Servo: [deflated] Oh... but it was a good joke! Wordplay like that doesn't come around so often.
- Mike: But it only works if you get the correct, current name.

- Geronimo: You've got the right to remain silent.
- Mike: Oh, he is a real cop!
- Geronimo: [Knocks the suspect out.] And all that other ****.
- Mike: ...oh.
- [Government official Wilson discusses Texas Ranger Geronimo's mission to extradite murderer Palermo to Italy.]
- Wilson: Ah, you see, Mr. Palermo's been a major source of embarrassment to the Italian Government.

- [After several jump cuts and the end of the game, Gilbert's lecture is still going on, much to the annoyance of his friends and the MST3K crew.]

- [A caravan guarding a shipment of money is traveling along a road, to the sound of peppy surf-rock music.]
