"Trumpy, you can do STUPID THINGS!" - Joel
"I love this, it's so SPONTANEOUS!" - CROOOOW!
"Even the movie The Fog didn't have this much fog." - Servo
"Your movie's called Pod People. It has nothing to do with pods, it has nothing to do with people, it has everything to do with HURTING!" - Dr. Clayton Forrester
"Meanwhile in Movie A..." - various
"Chief. McCloud." - various
Crow: "Delicious kitty. Tastes like a potato. So nice. Where do I start, it all looks so good. Little winged potatoes. Ouch, that's my snout! Ow, let go! This potato's got big ears. It's a whole buffet. New potatoes!"
The voice Trace uses for the whole thing adds so much to it. Anyone know if the potato thing is a reference to something, or is it just something goofy the guys came up with?
I think Trace was trying to imatate an old english man.That was one of the funniest scenes in this god aweful movie.I also like the scene when Trumpy shakes the heck out of the rabbit cage and Servo says "poor rabbit" and Crow says "poor us".I also like the scene when the old man runs into Trumpy's partner at the Rangers station and Crow,immatating the old man, says:"Pepperidge farm remembers... Pepperidge farm remembers... The heck with you I'm getting out of here!!"
shareMy two favorite parts are Joel and the 'bots' parody of the rock band song ("it stinks!"), and, after that, their parody of Trumpy's homage to "Mary Poppins" (in which that clowny, wind-up-doll music plays as Trumpy, using his special powers, sends things in Tommy's room flying in the air, in and out of the closet, etc.). Either it was so late when I watched it or it was just so funny that I nearly wet my pants laughing.
shareI'm watching it for the first time now, I'm only a few minutes in, but there's been references to: Bambi, Star Wars, E.T., That Darn Cat, Sound of Music, and a bunch of others. So far my favorite is "finish your training you will"
shareSo many great lines from "Pod People":
"Little wing-ed potatoes. This potato's got big ears. Mmmmmmmm ... new potatoes. I don't know where to start ... it's a whole buffet!" - Trumpy, to Tommy's pets
"Here, lemme show you how to use that prop phone." - Uncle Bill
"Come on now, breakfast is getting cold, and she's not getting any warmer." - Molly Stevens
"We're just as confused as you are, folks." - Deer
"Look, it's Julie Andrews! And she's on fire!" - Tom Servo
"What pretentious crap." - Tommy
"Tommy, throw open the door and yell 'Pull!'" - Uncle Bill
"A creamy, living chocolate center." - Joel
"Be nice to your boyfriend's girlfriend." - Pod People
"Tommy, where did you come from?"
"Your loins Mommy!"
My friends and I have watched this move one million times. Glad to know there are others out there who know the best lines by heart!

"It's some kind of pig or a bear..."
"A pear?"
"It stinks!"
"And thus the cast dimishes by one!"
"This kid's NO Henry Thomas."
"McCloud? McCloud?"
I LOVE this movie because sometimes BAD is GOOD!!!
My sincere apology for a dumb typing error in my posting.
"And thus the cast DIMINISHES by one!"
How often does anyone use the word "diminishes" in a sentence?? "MST3K" was the "Rocky and Bullwinkle Show" of the 80s!! Very smart, well written and jam packed with inside jokes and one liners. I really miss it.

---------------------------
The show actually ran from 88-99 (if you count the ktma year), so its actually of the 90s. Just wanted to, uh, correct you.
As for favorite quotes I love where the guys are recreating the song and Frank is wearing the "I'm a virgin" shirt and says "Good? He's the BEST." Hahaha, it makes me crack up every time.

Hunter Guy - "That's an odd bird"
Tom, I think - "A queer kind of duck."

Among favorites are:
The Idiot Control Now song (As sung by Joel and Los 'Bots):"with a fickle mind/We kick the nipple beer/ Steady as a goat/we're flyin' over trout..."
Crow (during "the song"):"Lyrics by Mrs. Johnson's kindergarten class!"
"you've drawn Siegfried, now where's Roy?" - Servo
"what is he? an LA cop!?" - Crow
"I'm outta here, this place sucks." - Crow
"Dak-Tar-ieeeeeeeeee!" - Joel
"I dare ya to eat it!" - Joel
Oh, my goodness - so many great lines here, but some of my buddy's and my faves are missing!
Tom Servo - (At the beginning where the stars are pulling away) "Boldly backing away from where no man has gone before."
Servo - (during a shot of stars) "Meanwhile, a few miles away..."
Crow - (a few moments later) "It was a dark and stormy night; I'd taken a creative writing course."
Joel - (yet a few momets later, imitating Yogi Bear) "Let's grab the picnic baskets and scram Booboo..."
Crow - "Y'know Mom, you never hear the one with your name on it."
Crow - (during "Ringo" song. 'What should I do?') "Retire!"
Crow - "I hope they find some Nazis."
Joel - "Oh, terrific, we're saved by the Gates of Hell."
Crow - What's he going to do? Borrow a cup of sugar from Satan? (My friend and I CRIED from this)
Girl - 'What was that?' Crow - "It sounded like Laura, leaping to her death."
Various - "Chief/McCloud." -(My God, this got funnier every time they said it)
"Night, Hardcastle." - "Night, McCormick." - "Night, Chief" - "Night, McCloud" (Another one that we wept at)
This is now our favorite MST3K episode, bar none. "Mitchell" was great, along with the "Shorts" along with many others, but this one now reigns supreme!
"Yeah, quick, move her spine around a lot! Dope..."
shareI don't remember who said it (if it was a character in the movie or one of the MST3K crew), but I loved the line: "Specimen jackpot!"
shareIt was Joel who said the "specimen jackpot!" line.
Some more now that I've seen it again:
"Naughty kitty" "You must be punished..." -Tommy/Joel
"It's the ABC MOVIE OF THE WEEK." -Joel
"oops wrong bowl!" -Crow
"Not a soul for miles I suppose..." "I'm not bringing mine!" -Tracey/Joel
"Oh sorry wrong movie" -Servo
"Look Pocahontas, Rick's mom!" -Crow
"Just uh...put away his Dinty Moore" -Servo
"I'll go I wanna die" -Joel
"They parked next to a data stream" -Joel
"Ignore them then" "I would but they dry-click their revolvers at me!" -Rick/Servo
"Gimme that! Lemme show you how to use a prop phone!" -Crow
"Oh that's silly, finish your tequila" -Joel
"STOP THE MADNESS!" -Crow
Haha I love this movie so much. It's been my favorite MST3k episode since I first saw it like 7 years ago.
Tommy gives Trumpy the peanuts. "Oh, little potatoes."
After Trumpy sucks them through his snout/nose? "Now you try."
Tommy says, "That's all for now."
Crow: No, More.
Tommy "Now we can play."
Crow: Like Hell more food!
Tommy "Do you know any fun things?"
Crow: yes, food, eating, the theatre.
I like the 'potatoes' routine.
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words.
Just a couple more...
"Hey, what gives? I'M on the milk carton..." -Joel as Tommy
"You like that name, don't you Trumpy?" "I prefer Milky Bear." -Tommy/Crow
"No they're gonna die in that samurai jeep anyway..." -Joel
*cough cough* "Put out the van!" -Servo
"I like you Tommy, I'll kill you last..." -Servo as Trumpy
"Oh my ankle it's all bendy wendy!" -Crow
Best mst3k ever.
The funniest line in this one is not spoken by Joel and/or the bots but is actually IN the movie. Tommy holds up a picture he drew that looks like a man and he says, "That's my mommy!" I've never laughed so hard in my life. The funniest moment out of any of the MST3K's.
"If I had a dollar for every brain you don't have, I'd have one dollar!"

Girl: Where are we going?
Crow: To Hell.
