I can't stand that people call them 'Graboids'...


That was just supposed to be a funny line from Walter to get a laugh, nothing more.

Who named them Graboid by the way?

Ehhh, guy named Walter Chang. He named em. Then they ate him.

lol. Tremors 2 is not as good but I thought it was a very well done sequel. Some really funny moments in that movie. Grady was actually pretty funny. And the ending with Burt is hilarious. "You WHAT!? That's 2 and a half tons of high explosives Earl!" "No no, keep going, it's gonna be big!"

Is it gonna be TODAY?!

Some more classic lines in Tremors 2 :)

I honestly didn't know that they were called Graboids until I looked up this film on IMDb. I always just called them "the gross tremor creatures". Oh well.

I call 'em all Stumpy. 

If we wanted to insult you, we would have called you "Tubby Mushroomhead Man".

In Rifftrax Wrath of Khan, they're called Tremors.
