Hee, I tend be most amused by the simple, silly riffs. I always appreciate the more complex cultural allusions and whatnot...but deep down, it's things like this that never fail to incite a laugh:
- The "Trumpy Magic" host segment from Pod People. I adore Joel's dancing. - Final Sacrifice - "He comes from a long line of Greidanuses." - Final Sacrifice - The growling sound that Crow makes when Troy is making a pained "looking-around" expression. -Mole People - "Load, tell us about other times when you were a major load."

Red Zone Cuba:
During the Cherokee Jack sequence, Mike simply says "I'm Cherokee Jack." in an amusing way. But but the way he says it a second time (in a slightly higher register) always cracks me up. It's just so delightfully simple and absurd!
And of course, when I was watching the Iron Man Rifftrax and there was a Cherokee Jack callback - well I just about died. ;D

My all-time favorites, that still make me laugh hysterically:
In Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, when the big angry robot makes it first appearance with the menacing music playing, Joel goes "Wait, is that the Jeopardy theme in a minor key?" and the Bots start singing the Jeopardy theme in a minor key.
In Pod Poeple, when the rock group is leaving to go on their camping trip, one of them says "Not a soul for miles!" To which Joel responds, "I'm not bringing mine!"
When Eegah decks Arch Hall Jr and he falls down, and Joel and the Bots cheer. Is that the only time we're rooting against the "hero"?
Pretty much every line from the dance hall scene in Creeping Terror. "Now we know why the British Invasion was so easy!" and "Your parents before you were born!" are two favorites.
Oh, and when the grandpa's calling out for Bobby in Creeping Terror and when he pauses in between, Tom goes "Get me a porterhouse!"...."And a baked potato!"...."And a cake!"
I'm sure there's more, I need to think of them lol.

Nah, there are some other great instances of it in "Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell" - my personal favorite is when the princess knocks Deathstalker out, and Crow responds "I'm glad he gets hit a lot!"

Last night I was watching "The Amazing Colossal Man".
At the beginning, when the doctors are trying to figure out how Glenn's skin grew back overnight, one of them says, "when 60 to 70 percent of a person's body is burned...", Servo interjects, "It's icky."
It was a quiet and super-fast riff that I'm sure I never heard before. I had to rewind it about 15 times I was laughing so hard. In fact the whole scene where they're interrogating the nuclear scientist is hilarious (it starts at about the 1 minute mark).

In honor of Beverly Garland I watched Gunslinger last night. Towards the beginning of the movie, after her husband was killed and she's taken over as sheriff, she's talking to the deputy, who is not sure about a woman wearing pants.
Beverly: Have you ever seen a peace officer wear a corset? Crow: Yeah, your husband.

Ok, how could I forget this line? Also from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. When Santa's being interviewed in his shop, he's asked how he manages to deliver toys to every child in the world, or something like that. Santa replies "Well, we haven't upset any yet!" and Joel adds on, as Santa, "Except the poor ones!" Why do the 'wrong' ones always crack me up?
Oh, and the "Look at my crotch!" song from Home Economics Story too.

The scene in Deathstalker around the fire--the higlights:
"Who are you?" "Smelled your food" -->"That was the last guy's name"
"I Know you..." --> "It's Alvi Singer..."
and the best, and most disturbing:
-->"Guess what I've been doing..."

Well, obviously, "STEVE had crackers!" always does it for me.
There are so many of these and I could go on for days, but having just re-watched The Blood Waters Of Dr. Z recently, I can say for sure that "Tonight, on Invisible Cracker Mom!" and "Invisible Cracker Mom and her invisibe cracker car" get me every single time.

Not a riff but a host segment moment in The Dead Talk Back. When Gypsy says, "And then the moon came out, and it was like Jerry willed it." Delivered beautifully, and so very accurately to the deadhead Way. Never fails to make me guffaw.

From one of the Master Ninja's, right as Joel and bots come into the theater. The screen shows a bird flying and we hear that infamous "Hi I'm Max Keller" and Joel responds "I'm a seagull". Love it.

Oh, there are so many. Just off the top of my head:
From Mitchell:
Joel: “Stop, or my heart’ll explode!”
From “A Date With Your Family:”
Mike: “Father feigns eating, draws Junior out, then disowns him!”
And from Night of the Bloodbeast:
One of the Steves: “What are you doing with Dr Wyman’s body?” Crow (as another of the Steves): “Hey! I’m not into that!”

In Time Chasers, during the shot which shows Nick riding up to the grocery store, Mike says "Welcome to Martin's. What up?!" I don't know why I find this so hilarious, but the way that his voice cracks while he says it never fails to crack me up.

"Arthur Godfrey, WILL YOU SHINE YOUR LOVE?!?"
"I think your cape is FABULOOOOUS!!!"
Krasker: Oh, it's true. Crow: "My mom said so!"
