Quotes

Mystery Science Theater 3000

Edit
  • Tom Servo: What do you think the lesson of the movie was?
  • Crow: Don't watch it.
  • Mike Nelson: [about a man who just had his arm ripped off] And ironically he collapses into an arm chair
  • Flora: No, Edward! Don't do it!
  • All: DO IT, EDWARD, DO IT!
  • Crow: I have my doubts that this movie is actually "starring" anybody. More like "camera is generally pointed at."
  • Crow T. Robot: Well, a good thing about the movie was it wasn't any longer.
  • Joel: And a bad thing?
  • Crow T. Robot: It was this long.
  • [repeated line]
  • [a character looks directly at the camera]
  • Crow T. Robot: What do you, the viewers at home, think?
  • Mike Nelson: The director boldly mixes tedium with un-scariness.
  • Crow: What's the point of a helmet in skydiving, in case you land on your head?
  • Mike Nelson: I've never known more about what isn't happening in a movie.
  • [Off to the left side of the screen, a car rolls off camera]
  • Tom Servo: Boy, the car will do anything to get out of the movie.
  • [Things have gotten even stupider in the movie they're watching]
  • Crow: Mike, I demand that you kill me.
  • Tom Servo: Me too.
  • Crow T. Robot: Oh, great, a harmonica. As if this guy wasn't annoying enough.
  • Crow: Ya' know, if we PRETEND we know whats going on, this is actually kind of exciting.
  • Tom Servo: This movie stops at nothing... and stays there.
  • Tom Servo: You know, it's economical to not have a storyline, that way you can just film people saying stuff.
  • Crow: [Watching an obviously gay character in a short] Liberace *wishes* he was this gay.
  • Joel: Don't trust a guy with a dumb crayola hat.
  • [the movie suddenly goes black]
  • Crow: Are we dead, Mike?
  • Mike Nelson: This is one of the most ambitiously bad movies we have ever done.
  • Tom Servo: This is very moving... in that it makes me want to MOVE out of the theater.
  • Mike Nelson: Apparently the story is none of our business.
  • Joel: Always get a contract when working with a dark, omnipotent power.
  • Mike Nelson: Please be careful, this will be boring.
  • Crow: This looks like it was filmed in Mordor.
  • Scientist in movie: Can I show you something?
  • Tom Servo: It's under my uniform...
  • Tom Servo: So the rest of the movie is just watching them all get shot one by one?
  • Crow: We may enjoy it.
  • Tom Servo: I hope they don't pick up the pace, this movie is relentless.
  • Tom Servo: Well, I see this movie wastes no precious screen time with a plot.
  • Tom Servo: Mike, if I go into a coma while watching this movie, please do NOT take any extreme measures to revive me.
  • Tom Servo: Wow, they're establishing the hell out of this building here.
  • Tom Servo: Audiences won't soon forget when the thing-that-we-didn't-know-what-it-was was put into a helicopter by a guy we didn't know.
  • Tom Servo: That blast to the face kinda helped her diction.
  • Crow T. Robot: I don't think it's a good idea to kill someone when they're driving.
  • Crow: No fair. You can't flash back to stuff we saw ten seconds ago.
  • Crow: Is the first stage of grief pure unbridled joy?
  • Mike Nelson: Get the holy drippings and make the sacred gravy.
  • Cook: They give you a thousand bucks to join, and a thousand bucks when it's over.
  • Tom Servo: That's at least a thousand bucks.
  • Crow: Come on Metamucil. Work your magic.
  • Mike Nelson: You know Ed Wood agonized over this scene.
  • Crow T. Robot: And now we are.
  • Joel: Every frame of this movie looks like someone's last known photograph.
  • Mike Nelson: The town that's ALL outskirts.
  • Pearl Forrester: Mike, your movie this week stars nobody and features nothing.
  • Tom Servo: Don't point that goat at me, it might go off.
  • Joel: I never thought the end of the world would be so annoying.
  • [repeated line]

  • Joel: If you don't understand it, shoot it.
  • Crow T. Robot: This is really something. I don't know what, but it's something.

  • Crow T. Robot: Is that vague enough for you?
  • Tom Servo: You know, beer and porn DO make the shift go faster.
