== Movies ==
=== ''[[Alien From LAL.A.]]'' ===
* "[[Dull Surprise]]!"-- <ref> A reference to Kathy Ireland's only apparent facial expression in the movie. This is actually a migratory meme, as it is used by the [[Transformers]] fandom when referencing Dreamwave comic book art and similar artwork with dull expressions.</ref>
 
Line 13:
 
=== ''[[Bride of the Monster]]'' ===
* "He tampered in God's domain." <ref>Said, somewhat garbled, of Bela Lugosi's scientist character. Became a running gag in other [[MST3KMystery Science Theater 3000]] movie scenes where other mad scientists would meet their end.</ref>
 
=== ''Cave Dwellers'' ===
Line 43:
 
=== ''[[The Giant Gila Monster]]'' ===
* "Whenever I sing, I sing." <ref>A lame song that the mechanic main character sings throughout the movie and inexplicably becomes a smash hit. Would be brought up in repetitive music moments in other [[MST3KMystery Science Theater 3000]] films</ref>
 
=== ''Godzilla vs. Megalon'' ===
Line 60:
* MASTER NINJA THEME SONG!
 
=== ''[[Manos: theThe Hands of Fate]]'' ===
* Fans love to represent the oddly stilted speech of Torgo from ''[[Manos: theThe Hands of Fate]]'' (including Mike Nelson's impersonations of him) bY rANdoMLy cAPitALIzInG lEttErS.
* The Master would not approve.
* The haunting "Torgo Theme". <ref>A incessently repetitive 4 note piece of music.</ref>
* "There is no way out. It'll be dark soon. There is no way out. ''iT'lL Be DaRk SoOn!"''
 
=== ''[[MerlinsMerlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders]]'' ===
* ''[[The Stinger|Rock n' roll Martian! Rock n' roll Martian!]]''
* Also,
Line 102:
** YOU shove off!
 
=== ''[[Santa Claus (Filmfilm)|Santa Claus]]'' ===
* "NO, LUPITA!" <ref>During the movie the devil tries to tempt an aggressively cute girl named Lupita into committing sins. The narrator really doesn't like it.</ref>
* And good old-fashioned Nightmare Fuel. <ref>Said in response to several shots of truly malevolent looking puppets.</ref>
Line 123:
* You gonna be the WORM FACE!
 
=== ''[[Teenagers From Outer Space (Film)|Teenagers Fromfrom Outer Space]]'' ===
* "TOR-CHAR!!!" <ref>The villain's odd pronunciation of "Torture".</ref>
 
=== ''[[Werewolf (Filmfilm)|Werewolf]]'' ===
* [[Dull Surprise|This is absolutely fascinating]]... <ref>The female lead doesn't quite add the emotion to the line that you might expect.</ref>
* TUSK! <ref>Over the tribal chants that play during the credits, Mike and the Bots sing an impressive medley of songs that fit the rhythm, tied together by shouts of TUSK!, a reference to Fleetwood Mac</ref>
Line 145:
=== ''[[Mr. B Natural]]'' ===
* Uh, Mr. B, what would ''you'' know about dignity?
* [[Sweet Onon Polly Oliver|"Mr. B, you're HOT!"]] <ref>The male Mr. B is played by a female. A hot female. It gets confusing.</ref>
 
=== ''[[Gumby]] in: Robot Rumpus'' ===
Line 162:
* In a more meta sense, the show help popularize the concept of [[MST|MSTing]] itself, though it's been around for years before the show.
** Speaking of which, [[MST|MSTing]] made "The Long March" palatable, and "The Long March" led to its own fountain of memes, such as (X despite the name), in a reference to "Ashley Montagu (Jewish despite the name)".
* All over the world! <ref> Joel did this as an homage to standup comedian Michael Floorwax, who himself became a frequent callback on [[ESPN]]'s [[MST3KMystery Science Theater 3000]]-like show ''[[Cheap Seats (TV)|Cheap Seats]]''. M&TB closed the loop by appearing in ''Cheap Seats''' season two premiere and mocking the hosts' dancing abilities.</ref>
* Think about it, won't you? Thank you.
* Push the button, Frank.
