Mike: Okay, okay, so let me see if I understand The Matrix now...
Kevin: Okay, give it a try.
Mike: Uh...we all started shaved, and punctured, and immersed in pods full of KY...
Kevin: Right.
Mike: And we live in a bland, unsatisfying dream world...that's Linux-based...
Kevin: Uh-huh...
Mike: And Larry Fishburne offers us drugs and rids our body of shrimp...
Kevin: Right.
Mike: And we pull the tendril timer out of our skull, put on greasy clothes, and head right back into the dream world!
Kevin: I think you got it!
Mike: Hey~! I know "What is The Matrix?"!
Kevin: That's The Matrix!

The Matrix Reloaded

  • Their introduction:

Mike: Before your favorite franchises were afflicted with "Godfather's Syndrome" and let you down with number three in the trilogy...
Bill: Terminator!
Kevin: X-Men!
Bill: Shrek!
Kevin: Spider-Man!
Bill: Pirates of the Caribbean!
Mike: ...The Matrix was there, boldly flaunting convention, and sucking in Part Two!

Trinity: (on the phone) I'm in.
Kevin: (mimicking a typical dudey pizza delivery guy) You want what on your pizza?

  • "The passionate dialog crackles with Anakinian lust!"

Trinity: What is it?
Neo: ...I don't know.
Mike: (chuckles) A tower of insight, this one.

  • Link is returning home to his wife

Link: Where's my puss...
[realizes that children are in the room]
Link: Eeeeeeeey...
[The riffers chuckle]
Cas:: C'mon kids, time to go.
Mike: [as the kids]: But we wanna help Uncle Link find his cat!

  • During the infamous dance scene/sex scene

Kevin Murphy: This has now lasted longer than the Orthodox wedding scene in The Deer Hunter.

... [Later]

Kevin Murphy: Okay, now it's lasted longer than the entirety of The Deer Hunter.

  • When Smith starts cloning himself:

Bane: Oh god!
Agent Smith: Smith will suffice.
Mike: (imitating Smith) I love it when they set me up like that!
Kevin: I think he likes the zinging almost as much as the killing.
(Bane's mutation into an Agent Smith clone is complete)
Mike and Kevin: (both imitating Smith) My god, you're handsome! Thank you. Okay, knock it off!

  • "Father Reeves, Action Priest!"
  • "Pop goes the Agent~!"
  • "Big deal; Jackie Chan did this stuff drunk."

Smith: Perhaps some part of you imprinted onto me, some part overwritten or copied...It is at this point irrelevant."
Bill: (imitating Smith) We'll fill it in in a later rewrite, whoops."

  • The ten-second chorus of "Mr. Anderson" from Mike, Kevin, and Bill upon the arrival of all the Mr Smith clones.
  • This exchange:

Kevin: So the nature of the universe is a date rape drug slipped to us by some pervy frog?
Mike: I want a new universe!

Mike: Uh oh, guys. I...I just had a horrible thought, and I need to share it...
Bill: Aw, you really need to, strictly--
Mike: Here it is...I thought that it'd be nice to see a long Quidditch scene right now...(Kevin gasps)...or even, god help me, some pod-racing! (dissolves into anguished laughter)
Bill: There, there, Mike...
Kevin: It's okay, buddy.
Bill: Damn it, Matrix: Reloaded! See what you've done to Mike?!

    • Later, during a slow-motion jump across the parlour:

Kevin: Huh. My thorazine's kicking in- do things seem slow to you right now?
Bill: Nnnnnoootttt aaaat aaaaaaaall, Keeeeeeviiiiiiiin.

  • During the highway chase scene:

Kevin: Ah~ a little car crash porn!
Mike: David Cronenberg needed a cold shower after this scene.

    • Later:

Kevin: Just when David Cronenberg was lighting up a cigarette, relaxing, this starts him up all over again!

      • And later still:

Mike: (chuckling) David Cronenberg will have to check into a hospital tonight; he's no spring chicken anymore!
Kevin: You mean in terms of his stamina for masturbating repeatedly at slow footage of car crashes? Just to clarify?

Mike: ...I didn't think we needed to be so on-the-nose about it there, Kevin, but, uh...yeah, okay.

(a guy in a car gets hurt, who looks like...) "Will Ferrell!"
(next glimpse of the man shows he's an agent now) "Will Ferrell's agent!"

  • (sung to the tune of the Superman theme) "It's Keanu Reeves, he's going so fast~! It's Keanu Reeves, he's trailing some garbage~! It's Keanu, flying Keanu, going to save the hot chick and then smoke up a bowl~!"
  • "The roof! The roof! The roof is on fire! No, serious, people; I think the machines started it!"
  • "Hey, you in the back, this is an anti-machine rally, quit doing the robot!"
  • (Random black man jumps towards to screen) HI MOM!
  • During Neo and Trinity's sex scene: (sing-songy) "Neo likes Trinity, Neo likes Trinity!"
  • Pretty much every reaction to the Architect's long-winded speech:

Kevin: Words wordswordswords words…words words words.
Mike: (whenever Neo asks a question) No, don't ask! Oh god, he's gonna go on for like ten minutes…No, don't encourage him!
Bill: Well good, we're done, can we– (He starts talking again) Gah! The guy's like a parrot in a cracker factory.
Kevin: That's right, folks, the ACTION FLICK OF THE SUMMER!
Kevin: The instruction manual for my snow blower is gripping compared to this clown!
Mike: Oh look, bite my nuggets, Colonel Sanders.
Kevin: Look, Jack Perkins, could you sum up, my car's doubled-parked!
Kevin: Our priority, the next film will be two solid hours of fighting robots.
Bill: OH DEAR GOD, get off the screen!

Kevin: Words words wordswordswords words words.

The Matrix Revolutions

Bill: He's having a total eclipse of the heart!

    • And then during his death:

All: (as the Smith clones are staring to explode, in unison): Turn aroouunnnnd, briiiiiiight eyyeess...

  • Comenting on the music during the final battle:

Bill: I like to play this soundtrack when I mow the lawn, makes me mow the hell out the the lawn! Sometimes the lawn actually bursts into flames...

  • "Lizard people... somehow responsible... must warn David Icke!"
  • "Remember guys, these movies are philosophical."

"Yes, I actually do find myself drifting to thoughts of Socrates...IN that I want to drink hemlock and die."

West: We can't treat this as a hopeless cause.
Mike: Hey, the guy who voted for Ralph Nader has no right to talk about hopelessness.

  • During Trinity's death scene:

Ow, ow, ow, OW!
Ow, you're leaning on the poles that skewered my liver, OW!
My god you have driven that one pole DEEPER IN MY LEFT VENTRICLE AND IT HURTS ABOUT FIVE TIMES AS MUCH!
Apparently you didn't have the pleasure of KNEELING ON A POLE STICKING OUT OF MY LUNGS, AND YOU JUST HAD TO TRY, OW OW OW OH GOD OW OW!!
And yet you still have your elbow PUSHING AGAINST THE THING THAT TORE MY SPINE OUT, AM I NOT BEING CLEAR?!
It had nothing to do with you SITTING DIRECTLY ON MY SHATTERED PELVIS LIKE YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW!!!

Spider-Man

Spider-Man 2

  • "Whooo! Yay ledge!"
  • "And her entire skeletal system was pulverized."
  • "BOOOOOONESAW IS READY! To be left out of this picture, and feel really depressed about it. Seriously, BONESAW was seeing a therapist for a while. But now, BONESAW IS REAAADY... to get on with his life." (After he appears in the retelling of the first film during the opening credits.)
  • Introducing the robotic arms.

Reporter: But Dr. Octavius, if the artificial intelligence of these arms is as advanced as you suggest, wouldn't that leave you vulnerable to them?
Octavius: How right you are.
Bill: KILL HER, ARMS!

Bruce: "And you might want to..."
Mike: "...Be as awesome as me."

  • When an image of Norman Osborn appears in the mirror.

Willem Dafoe: "I'm in art film hell."

Spider-Man 3

  • During Harry and Peter's climactic fight:

Harry: I protected you in high school. Now I'm gonna kick your ass!
Peter: Ooh!
Bill: The five-minute follow up of them shouting "Oh yeah?" "Yeah!" was wisely cut for time.

  • During the first Peter and Harry fight scene:

Harry: You knew this was coming, Pete!
Kevin: I sent you an email about it!

  • When Peter is trying to resuscitate the unconscious Harry:

Peter: HARRY!
Kevin: I need you for the third act! Live, dammit, live!

Bill: He can jump really high and he now "gets" Tyler Perry.

Star Trek

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

  • When Khan lifts Chekhov by his spacesuit

Mike: Chekhov, now with E-Z-Grip handle!

  • On the rendering of the Genesis Effect

Mike: This is like we took the game Sim Earth, and remove anything fun and interesting from it. In other words, exactly like Sim Earth.
Kevin: Rifftrax! Some two-decade-old computer games have it coming!

Star Trek: Generations

  • "Onscreen." (A group of Klingons appear) "Aah! Offscreen! Offscreen!"
  • Then there's that priceless moment when Bill asks about the female Klingons "Do you think we're seeing the only hairless part of their breasts?" and Mike can't help but scream.

Picard: Warp One, engage!
Kevin: Go that way!

  • "Romulan, Breen, and Klingon!" "Oh my!"
  • "Doctor... Sauron..." "The Dark Lord?" "...Doctor Tarien Sauron..." "Oh, Doctor The Dark Lord."
  • The scene opens on an 18th century frigate with the entire cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation wearing period appropriate naval uniforms.

Kevin Murphy: Okay, I might be jumping the gun here but this may be the dumbest-ass Star Trek movie ever made.
Mike Nelson: Hm, you know what, that's easy enough to figure out, let me just get out my tricorder here, punch in a few settings, "beep", "beep, beep, beep", adjust for fluxating magnetic fields, "beep", "beep, beep", take a residual stupidity reading, "nee-re-re-re-re-re-re", Kevin I'm getting very high readings indeed, sir!
Kevin Murphy: There must be emanations of asininity fouling your readings. Let me take my own, "click, click, buzz, whir, click". Yes, our data sets correspond, "click".
Mike Nelson: Well, okay. There you have it: scientific proof that this is the dumbest-ass Star Trek movie ever made.
Kevin Murphy: Click, buzz, whir.
Mike Nelson: Nee-re-re-re-re-re-re.

  • Interestingly, during Picard's tearful anguish over Renee and Robert's death, the crew become more or less silent and allow the scene to play through without mockery.

Star Trek (2009)

  • "No one's gone here before! Permission to boldly go?"
  • "And now: the haunting, lyrical, kind of Samuel Barber-ish 'Husband Killing' theme."

  • This exchange:

Sarek: (to young Spock) Emotions run deep within our race.
Bill: No, they don't— GO TO HELL, Dad!

  • About the Romulans:

Bill: There's a Blue Man Group missing a couple of drummers!

  • During Kirk's academic cheating trial:

Kirk (to Spock): Let me ask you something I think we all know the answer to.
Mike: Why did Heroes suck so bad after Season 1?

Kevin: Funky Spock! Funky Spock! Gimme some of that funky Spock! Uh!

  • At the abrupt end of Kirk's trial:

Starfleet Academy Headmaster: I hereby order all cadets to report to Hanger 1 immediately. Dismissed.
Mike: ...Oh, and Kirk, I sentence you to hang by the neck until dead. Bye!

  • "She-Hulk is pleased!"

Nero: Hi, Christopher. I'm Nero.

  • "Tell my bald wife and bald kids how bald I think they are!"
  • After planet Vulcan is destroyed

McCoy: Damn it, man, I'm a doctor, not a physicist!
Bill: No-no, more phlegm; let's hear those giant throat nodes and smoker's hack!
Kevin: (extremely gravelly) Damn it, man, I'm a doctor, not a human grizzly bear!
Bill: There you go!

  • When Kirk gets ejected onto the ice-planet in an escape pod:

Kevin: Kirk is ejected along with a dog-eared copy of Twilight.

Mike: Ah, they packed him toilet paper--that was thoughtful.

Scotty: I had a little debate with my instructor on the issue of relativistic physics and how it pertains to subspace travel.
Bill: Meaning "I slept with his wife."

  • A little later*

Scotty: Are you from the future?
Kevin: Yes, but we pronounce it: "THE FUTURE!!!"

  • "Nobody knows when it's appropriate to do impressions of Spock roaring."
  • As Scotty dries the insides of his ears, one of the trio makes a little squeaky sound.
  • When Kirk sees Spock and Uhura making out:

Bill (as Kirk): I'm not sure which one I'm jealous of.

  • Their faces don't look like OUR faces! SHOOT THEM!

Kirk: Scotty, how we doin'?
Mike (as Scotty): Still Scottish and whimsical, sir!

Star Wars

Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace

  • The opening with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan:

Qui-Gon: Be mindful of the living Force, young padawan.
Obi-Wan: Yes, master.
Mike: But the screenplay! I sense disaster!

  • Any and all riffs pertaining to Jar Jar, but particularly when just resort to cursing him:

Jar Jar: We've no nuttin' moola to trade (or something stupid like that).
Mike: Look, GO TO HELL.

    • And this one:

Jar Jar: WEESA GOIN HOOOOOOME!
Kevin: Oh, do so COMPLETELY shut up.

    • Kevin actually vomits for five minutes while Jar-Jar talks.
    • One scene has an unfortunate angle of Jar-Jar as well, as Jar Jar swims away from the camera for a few minutes.

Mike: Ah, thank you for giving us an unhindered look at the business end of America's most loathed character.

    • And this surprisingly classy discussion of just how Jar-Jar annoys people:

Kevin: See, my opinion, the Jar-Jar thing isn't so inherently racist as it is more broadly offensive.
Mike: Really?
Kevin: Yeah, he's more annoying in a metaphysical sense.
Mike: I see, so, he bugs your soul?
Kevin: Actually, yes.

  • This exchange:

Yoda: Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering.
Mike: Um, Yoda, load of crap biggest ever heard I is that.

    • Also "Hey, Yoda, up the hell shut!"
  • Mike's reaction to Captain Panaka's rapid Info Dump:

Mike: Wh-who's everyone? Resistance to what? Leaders of what? What's the Federation? What the HELL is going on!?

  • This exchange:

Mike: Remember when Macbeth said that life was a tale told by an idiot? I actually think he meant to say Star Wars Episode One is a tale told by an idiot.
Kevin: Must've been a misprint in the First Folio edition.

Kevin: And so begins Hollywood's most enduring gay couple.

  • On Jar Jar stealing food with his tongue.

Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones

  • This exchange:

Mike: R-4 is the Windows ME of the Astromech droids.
Kevin: Form a nerdier sentence! No, don't try! You can't!

Kevin: Mike, I invite you to think about that lizard guy's underpants.
Mike: OH! (dry-heaving) OH! (gagging) WHY, Kevin?!
Kevin: Hey, it took your mind off this whole thing for a minute, didn't it?
Mike: You're right. Why, thank you, Kevin! Ah, That guy's underpants...

  • When Anakin kisses Padme:

Chad Vader: Ah, he's using the Jedi Tongue Technique. His training is now complete.

  • As C3PO and R2D2 watch their marriage.

Mike (as C3PO): Someday that will be you and me, R2, as soon as they get rid of that silly law.

  • After one of the "wittier" lines:

Mike: The dialogue crackles like, uh, pudding!

  • This exchange:

Mike: Uh, do we have any idea who's fighting who?
Kevin: Yes, the director is fighting the audience, and the audience is fighting back.
Mike: Ah. And who's winning?
Chad Vader: Twentieth Century Fox.

  • After Anakin finds his dead mother:

Yoda: Anakin is in pain...terrible pain...
Mike: Hey, what about us, Muppet boy?!
(Wipe Cut away)
Mike: Hey, don't you wipe cut when I'm talking to you!

  • Taking Padme's "I love the water" and turning it into a Running Gag. Example:

Padme: I love you.
Mike: Not as much as the water.

  • When Obi-Wan and Count Dooku fight:

Kevin: Nuclear silly-string!

    • Later...

Chad Vader: I'm a master of the lightsaber and even I'm bored. Let's get it on, people!

  • The scene where they gush about Padme's bedroom. A description simply cannot do it justice.
  • Kevin's opinion of the Romantic Plot Tumor:

(Shot of the Clone Army)
Kevin: Have you ever seen something more of an affront to all that is holy?!?
(Wipe Cut to Anakin and Padme having a picnic in a field.)
Kevin: Except, you know, the last time we saw these two.

  • And of course from this point forward through the remaining 4 movies (and Holiday Special), the Running Gag about how much Anakin/Vader hates sand.
  • After a scene featuring much whining from Anakin (I forget which one)

Chad Vader: My brother was a puss.

Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith

  • [During the scrolling letters]

Bill: Meanwhile, Vice Chancellor Ugga Bugga and Darth Buttcrack are rendezvousing on the planet Ovaltine, where the rebel leader B.B. Snausageberry is fighting the dreaded Cameltoeians. How's that?
Mike: I think you've got the hang of this whole Lucas thing. Here, have TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS!
Bill: Oh, much obliged.

  • Kevin finally cracks during the space pod battle:

Kevin: Oh. Oh no. Tell me this movie won’t have Podracing will it. ‘Cause, ‘cause if so, Mike, I’ll pay yah good money to let me out of here now. I will sign the deed to my house over to you!
Mike: Kevin, relax. Enjoy this long, long sequence coming up of Jar Jar Binks doing funny stuff.
Kevin: (screams) No, no! Mike, please! Let me out! Seriously. I will kill all your enemies. Please!
Mike: Here, breath into this paper bag.

  • Continuing the gag of not caring about the battle scenes:

Bill: [during the opening Battle of Coruscant] Bad thing: I don't know who is fighting who, where, about what. Good thing: I don't care!

  • This particular exchange after one of Yoda's, um... yeah:

Yoda: I hope right you are.
Michael J. Nelson [as Yoda]: Or predicate will I put again before subject and gibberish shall I spout.
Kevin Murphy: True that is, Mike. An idiot sounds he like.
Bill Corbett: And yet by many sci-fi geeks beloved he is, though Muppet he is also, and tiring his use of anastrophe is.
Michael J. Nelson: Also true that is. Annoying it very is. Off it pisses me.

  • This exchange:

Mace Windu: I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi
Mike: That's funny; we can't sense ANY plot whatsoever!

  • This exchange:

Anakin: From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!
Bill: From my point of view, a monkey wrote this script with his PENIS!

Bill: I have had it with these motherf**kin Sith on this motherf**kin planet!

  • Any and all jabs at Hayden Christiansen's talent...or rather, lack thereof.

Bland?

Bill: He can't do it all at once, or it'll kill him! He's gotta work his way up the manly scale. First he turns into Lance Bass, then Rupert Everett--
Mike: --then Scott Stapp, David Duchovny, Wesley Snipes, Russell Crowe, Rosie O'Donnell, and THEN James Earl Jones.

  • This exchange:

Palpatine: NO...no, no YOU WILL DIE!
Bill: NO! I don't wanna go to tha big place!

  • On Palpatine's last line following Anakin's becoming of a Sith lord:

Palpatine: ONCE MORE THE SITH WILL RUUUUUULE THE GALAXY... (voice lowering with each word) ...aaand...weee...shall have...peeeeeeeeeeaaaace.
Riffers: (clapping) Oh lovely, marvelous, Darth Actor, ladies and gentlemen, Darth Actor.

  • Upon the reveal of Darth Vader via mechanical moving table:

Bill: If this slowly rotates him facedown into a pie, the entire journey will have been worth it.

  • As the Empire watches the Death Star under construction:

Kevin Murphy: (as Tarkin) Yeah, so Darth, a couple of weeks we'll start building it, then we can take that decal off the wall of the window. Until then, looks cool, eh?
Bill: (as Vader) So, where are the ladies on this ship?
Mike: (as Palpatine) Ah, my son. You have much to learn about the Dark Side.
Bill: (as Vader) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Kevin: Ah, you see, Bill? That one seems kind of warranted.

  • When the Wookies are preparing to charge:
  • Any and all Palpatine Old Man jokes.

I want a muffin.

  • The Running Gag about R2 being a droid serial killer.
  • This:

Padme: Ani...I'm pregnant.
Bill: I'm pretty sure it's Watto's. I can feel its wings moving around.

  • "I believe I have the right to know if you are pants-crapping insane!"
  • The I Am Very British persona they give Obi-Wan.
  • Mike decides to take advantage of the Palpatine/Mace Windu fight and uses the time to share a (surprisingly detailed) recipe for dip with his friends and the listeners. Made funnier by Bill and Kevin trying to listen to him and pay attention to the film at the same time.

Bill: ...Uh, Samuel has the guy pinned down now, Mike.

Star Wars IV: A New Hope

  • "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a film maker said, 'I WILL create a character named Kit Fisto!'"
  • "Door. Guys. Door! Guys! DOOR! GU-ah, crap."
  • "Good guys are dropping left and right, the Stormtroopers have no idea how to react. Nothing like this has ever happened to them before!"
  • "It's the Council of Lousy Haircuts!"
  • "....when did we let an American in?"
  • "Can't we have just one nice meal together?"
  • "My pants are plastic/My helmet's tight/My balls are swinging left to right!"
    • "Chafe chafe chafe chafe chafe chafe chafe..."
  • "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"
  • One of the most callous and hilarious one-liners in the entire series riff:

C-3PO: I'm C-3P0, human cyborg relations. And this is my counterpart, R2-D2.
Luke: Hello.
Kevin: (as R2D2) I stood next to your mother as she died.

    • Bill's reaction, a dark little chuckle and an understated "Utini" makes it the funniest thing to ever happen.
  • Absolutely EVERYTHING regarding the unfortunately named Porkins.

Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back

  • "Oh, man. Oh, Luke, you okay? I was out cold there for a few minutes, I got this broken nose, blood everywhere, really embarrassing. Hey, my seatbelt's a little stuck, can you, uh, help me with it? Uh, Luke, where the hell are you going? This isn't funny, man. Don't take my wallet, you piker! When I get out of here I swear to God I'm gonna OHGAAAAA!"
  • On the probe droid on Hoth:

Kevin: Look out, it's a probe droid. Don't let it see your ass!

  • When Chewie giggles at Leia's jibe at Han.

Kevin: (as Chewie) Pwned!
Han: Laugh it up, fuzzball.
Kevin: (as Chewie) Don't mind if I do, skin tube!

  • After Leia kisses Luke:

Bill: (as Leia) Now, if you don't mind, I have to go make out with my Dad.

  • "A KLANSMAN!"
  • "Hm. Tripping balls I am, right now!"
  • "Lando?" "Cerebro?" "Magneto!"
  • "Down boy, quit humping my leg!"
  • "Don't make me lay the smackdown on that ass."

Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi

  • Pretty much anything relating to the Ewok/Stormtrooper battle:
    • "The Hurt Locker as presented by the Build-a-Bear Workshop."
    • "Today's the day the teddy bears have their murder!"
    • "Remember: these are the Empire's best troops."
    • "My God, they're eating them."
    • "It's like a scene from 'Harry and the Hendersons: Harry Goes to Iraq.'"
  • Imperial Officer: You rebel scum.

Bill: You Imperial slut!

  • [Watching the rebels being massacred outside the Death Star]

Emperor: The Alliance will die. As will your friends.
Mike: Ron, Hermione, Merry, Pippin, Bumblebee, all of them!

  • "And now they're visited by Porkins the White."
  • "It's a trap!" "This is no time to quote tired Internet memes, sir!"
  • "Fifty thousand, no less." "What, do I look like I'm made of money?" "No, you look like you're made of expired Crisco!" "WHO SAID THAT?!"
  • On the famous Leia gold bikini:

"There it is, the outfit that singlehandedly makes Comic Con bearable."
"And occasionally much, much worse."
"You saw that guy too, huh?"

The Star Wars Holiday Special

  • During the intro:

Announcer: Introducing Chewbacca's family!
Mike: And many a scream yourself awake nightmare!

  • When Malla contacts Luke Skywalker:

Luke: Oh, look, R2, it's Chewbacca's family.
Mike: What I meant to say is, "RUN, it's Chewbacca's family!"

(Mike, Bill and Kevin all scream in terror when the first acrobat appears.)
Bill: Well, it was inevitable. Someday I knew the moment would come when I had to gouge my own eyes out. This is it!
Mike: No! Bill, stay your hand! There'll be plenty of other moments coming up. Be a shame to let those go to waste.
Bill: Good point.
(Mike laughs in amazement at the acrobats.)
Bill: (sarcastic) Wookies love this.
Kevin: Like his single leather boot there. (pause) This is the very same scene that is playing on a constant loop in Ryan Seacrest's brain. (Beat) Explains the smile, y'know.
(The lead acrobat vanishes and reappears life size next to Lumpy playing some Dr. Seuss-like trumpet.)
Mike: Elton John would give everything he owned if this were only a real device.
(The acrobats swing into full steam on the table.)
Bill: Even Rip Taylor thinks this goes way overboard on the camp.
Kevin: Oh, no, are we going to find out why they call him "Lumpy"?
Bill: Music to go mad by!
Mike: (on the lead acrobat) I'd love to have been there the day this guy told the all other Keebler Elves what he really wanted to do with his life.
Bill: "No, seriously?!"... (a few seconds pass) Circe du Suck... oh, why don't you just go ahead and kill me, because I really don't think I could take another second of this, guys.
Kevin: If I watch any more of this, am I gonna get a letter in the mail informing me that I'm now legally gay?
Bill: ...yes.
Mike: You know, it might be a funny joke if you played this music if you knew someone was going to ask for your hand in marriage. "Rebecca, my dearest love, would you WEEDEE-wee-wow! WEEDEE-wee-wow! WEEDEE WEEDEE WEEDEE-wee-wow!"
Bill: Kinda kill the moment. (a few seconds pass) I hate to say it, 'cause I know this is on the up-and-up, but... it all seems kinda weird.
Kevin: Ah! Ah, good, the bright fuschia fish acrobats are here! It wouldn't be a Life Day without 'em!
Bill: No sirree.
Mike: (exasperated by the lead acrobat) Look, would you and Bryce please move to Palm Springs, buy matching Speedos and get jobs in retail and just leave us alone?!
Bill: (noticing Lumpy's avid grin) There's murder in his eyes! I like where this is headed!
Kevin: (as the lead acrobat) And that was the introduction, folks! Now let's get on with the show!
Mike: (as Malla) Would you turn off that stupid video game?!
Bill: (as Lumpy) It's not a video game, Mom. It's a video game system!

  • During the first scene with Chewbacca's family, Bill gets the most obvious joke out of the way:

Bill: Well, terrifying thought, but I'm charging ahead with it anyway: If you're a furry, and you're watching this right now. are you turned on?
Kevin: (horrified) Ohh! Can I be excused to have a good cry?
Mike: Stay right where you are, Murphy!

  • While watching the...ahem, "cooking show":

Mike: You know, sure, this makes me wanna drive a masonry chisel into my kneecap, but on the bright side, at least it's not Rachael Ray.

    • And later:

  • When Stormtroopers show up at the Wookiees' home:

Mike: (as Itchy) Don't worry, son, they can't shoot straight, and they're easy to kill!

    • Bill insisting that Mike light the sky and/or that guy on fire already, in order to shut the band up.

Bill: This is it, Mike! They're finally ready to light this guy on fire!

  • This exchange:

Kevin: So after this aired, the deep shame and mockery from the ordeal forced George Lucas underground and his creation Star Wars was never heard from again, right?
Mike: Uh, actually, it went on to shatter records for money made (breaking sound is heard), and it has more devotees than many major religions.
Bill: Ooh, Mike, that inconsistency caused a logical wormhole that broke Kevin's mic!

Bill: THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND!

  • During a CBS newsbreak:

Bill: This just in: Christmas has been cancelled due to sadness caused by The Star Wars Holiday Special.

Bill: (as Itchy) There, there. If he's dead, we can still celebrate Life Day. We'll just call it Death Day! And instead of eating turkey and opening presents, we can bury his body before it rots.

  • When the first commercial appears.

Kevin: (on seeing Willie Rawles, GE employee) ...Wuh-wait? Is that Darth out of uniform?

The Twilight Saga

Twilight

  • Right off the bat, they start arguing about vampire sparkliness:

Mike: Thank you, and welcome once again to Riff Trax, where I am joined by Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy.
Bill: Thank you, Mike. And may I say how happy I am that our movie, Twilight, is finally telling the world something I've been saying for years: that vampires are sparkly! Ho-ho-ho, the world laughed at me and my quoteunquote "crazy ideas about vampire sparkliness", but maybe now that the truth is out, I'll get an apology! Kevin.
Kevin: I-I-I never denied their sparkliness, Bill, we just happen to disagree very, very strongly about whether that sparkliness is a full-body sparkliness, huh? Is it sparkly between their toes? Sparkly on the bottom of their feet? Are their inner thighs sparkly? These are important questions, and I don't think Twilight has settled them.
Bill: Oh, you had to bring up the sparkly thigh thing, didn't you? When you know that it all hinges on the buttcheeks! Frankly, sir, your views on this are well outside the norm in the vampire sparkliness research community.
Kevin: (gasps) How dare you, sir?!
Bill: I dare!
Kevin: My contributions to the vampire buttcheeks sparkliness research are renowned, and I'll not have your slander, shame on you, sir!
Bill: No, shame on you!
Kevin: No, shame on-!
Mike: Okay, o-okay, okay.

  • Just before the opening credits:

Bella: And...this will be a good thing...
Mike: ...like Hot Topic!
Bella: ...I think.
Mike: But what do I know? I'm just your typically abnormally confident, world-weary 16-year-old female protagonist, teehee!

Girl: ...we're talking Olympic sized!
Mike: High school girls discussing wang sizes; we've officially hit rock bottom, gentlemen.
Kevin: Shh, shh, shh! I'm trying to hear about the wang sizes!

Edward: No one will believe you!
Mike: ...quoting directly from The Abusive Guy's Handbook there.

Edward: Say it...
Kevin: Alright, you're a total homo!
Bill: That's not what I meant!
Edward: Out loud...
Mike: Okay, you're a thorough-going douche...
Bill: No! You're not doing it right!
Mike: A tool?
Bill: NO!
Bella: Vampire...
Kevin: Close; I'm a metropire!
Edward: Are you afraid?
Mike: Seriously...I don't know what emotion you're going for, because you always just look nauseous...

  • Bella is visiting the Cullens

Mike: You like Legos? Cause I got tons of Legos (sic), I got Lego Star Wars, and Power Miners, I got like a bajillion Beeonicles (sic) too...

Bella: You know, your mood swings are kinda giving me whiplash.
Mike: And that apple you bounced off your foot is giving me hookworm.

  • After Edward has saved Bella and kisses her in the hospital:

Mike: Aw, I-I'm weakening, guys. I mean suddenly feel very invested in their love. It's-It's my love, too. Them succeeding despite all odds means I succeed despite all odds. (Cut to a shot over a forest.) Look, beautiful trees, as-as beautiful as the love between Edward and Bella and me and their beauty and... [THUNK] Ow! You hit me with a phone book!
Kevin: Yep.

  • When Bella and Edward are practicing dancing:

Mike: You mind if I slit my wrists right now, get ahead of the curve?
Bill: Oh, any old time, Mike.
Kevin: I'm surprised you haven't done it by now!

  • Mike, Bill, and Kevin worrying about the taxidermy animal in science room. (I'd say It Makes Sense in Context, but...it doesn't.)
  • "Typical night at Jack Nicholson's house, circa 1975."
  • During the...well, rapidly changing scene:

Kevin: I'm having another acid flashback, right?
Mike: No, that's the movie.
Kevin: So...you guys also see Jim Nabors riding a killer whale in space?
Mike: No...
Bill: Wish I did, though; that sounds great!

  • Early scene mentioning the investigation into mysterious deaths.

Sheriff: Well, another hiker got attacked by something in the woods.

Bill: TEAM JACOB!
Mike: (disgruntled) COULD you please...?

Mike (as Bella): Well it was a "little blood" until Edward flayed open my brachial artery.

  • (To Bella) BOOOO! YOU SUCK! BOOOO!
  • During the scene where Edward is walking through Italy to go ask the Volturi to kill him:
  • As Bella is being led away from the Volturi, passing by a group of tourists being led into their chamber. Screams are heard...

Bill: Italian Police issued a statement today once again reiterating that, for the love of God, tour groups should stop going into that Castle where all the other tour groups have been mysteriously murdered.

  • Pretty much the entirety of the treatment the Volturi in terms of Frank n Furter esque moaning, mockery of their effeminate portrayal, and in particular their reactions to Michael Sheen whenever they are on screen. In particular this little line as Edward is about to ask them to kill him

Bill: The High Council of GAYness will see you now!
Mike and Kevin: (effeminate groaning and moaning)

  • Early on...

Edward: (To Bella) This will be the last time you ever see me.
Mike, Bill, and Kevin: (Triumphant cheering) Hooray! Yay!

Kevin: Aaaaaannnd
All three: Heeyo! Hey-hey-hey-babe! Aroooogah, aroogah! Hohoho!
Mike: Mom, I didn't know you wanted to see New Moon!
Bill: (effeminate voice): Quiet, dear, I'm trying to watch. Th-the story! The story.

    • Subversely, upon Edward doffing his shirt:

Mike: And theaters full of shrieking teenagers learn the hard way that some things are better left to the imagination.

  • The end, after a whole movie's worth of sending out mixed messages and crushing hearts:

Bella: [to Jacob] I do love you.
Bill: [incredulous] Sh-she does!?
Mike: [through laughter] She's not a stable girl.

  • Used as a Running Gag, they keep trying to catch Bella actually making it through a sentence without a Shatnerian pause. Sometimes she actually manages what would count as a whole sentence only to continue the sentence after a long pause.
  • Cliff-diving:

I regret not buying more shiiiiiiiiirts!
I regret not buying Bob more shiiiiiiiiiiiirts!
I regret being named Embryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Donate my torso to Abercrombie and Fiiiiiiiiiiiiitch!

  • And when Bella goes cliff-diving:

Drowning: the only way she could get more pale and sad.

Twilight: Eclipse

Kevin (As Charlie): Ugh, you guys went to see "Face Punch" again, didn't you?

  • "Make as many mistakes as you can", the advice that inspired M. Night Shyamalan.

Bill:I was born a poor black child

  • Following an awkward conversation between Bella and Charlie.

Kevin (as Charlie): ...[takes a swig from his beer] Work your dark magic, booze.

  • Continuing the Running Gag from previous films, the guys continual irritation by Bella's inability to finish a...sentence, without pausing.
    • Plus their horror at Charlie throwing in a random pause. "It's an epidemic!"
  • [During Charlie's embarrassing marriage/sex talk with Bella]

Bella: Oh my God, Dad! I'm a virgin.
Charlie: Daaah-d-d-duh, okay!
Kevin: [laughs] Dad had a Chandler attack.
Bill: Could my daughter BE anymore of a virgin?!

  • The other Running Gag of "Line?", especially when Bella is freezing in the mountains: "L-l-line?"
  • "Theeeres a pooooosibilityyyyyyyy" "Stop it!" "Come on man!"
  • To the tune of "Dream Weaver," while Riley is sneaking through Bella's house:

Kevin: Whooooooa, dreeeeeeeamcatcher, I believe you can hang there and do nothing through the ni-hiiiiiiiiiight!

  • Who's the bad guy?

Edward: It has to be the Volturi.
Bill: The Volturi: that's Chevy's new mid-sized sedan, right?

  • Bella macks on Edward:

Kevin: Mmm...you taste like Clearasil and indecision!

  • As Jacob keeps Bella warm through the night:

Edward: Could you at least attempt to control your thoughts?
Kevin: I'm tired of all the Glee spoilers!

  • Any and all remarks in regards to Charlie's mustache.
    • And on a related note, TEAM MUSTACHE DAD!
  • A hilarious Shout-Out to The Room:

A vampire: Don't worry about it.
Bill: Oh hai, Twilight, I'm so glad you like saying 'don't worry about it' too.

  • Even as she tries to clear things up, Bella continues to be the master of mixed messages.

Bella: [to Edward] This wasn't a choice between you and Jacob.
Kevin: Then what the hell was the point of the last two movies?!
Bella: It was a choice between who I should be and who I am.
Mike: ...What the holy hell does that mean?

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Pt 1

  • Before the riff was even released the trio did a Rifftrax announcement of the impending riff, during which Bill leaves for a moment to pass a kidney stone just as Kevin and Mike start mocking the whole "Jacob imprints/falls in love with a baby" thing. When Bill returns holding the kidney stone in a glass jar, Kevin "imprints" on it much to the other's disgust
  • Bill singlehandedly making a Running Gag of Edward not being able to fart, until the other guys start thinking it's in the actual movie.
  • "We here at Rifftrax would like to remind you that for the last three years, Bella and Jacob have been the two most popular baby names, so please, stop it."

  • "So a werewolf just fell in love with the monster baby that was ripped out of its mother's womb by the teeth of her vampire husband. Stephanie Meyer, get some help. You're very, very sick and deranged, you need to be hospitalized now."

What? In dog years, she's like 14 hours!

  • Mike & Bill's "super gay Volturi voices".
  • "Oh for the love of god, do something, you apprehensive, brain damaged...mouse-haired...sea cucumber!"
  • This insight into Meyer's writing:

Carlisle: We didn't think it (Bella's pregnancy) was even possible.
Bill: It's like someone's making up the rules as she goes.
