One of the staple jokes of MST3K is pointing out when an actor or actress in a movie resembles a famous person. I think it's safe to say that every episode features multiple examples of this. What are some of your favorites?
Here are some I enjoy:
Monster in Monster A-Go-Go: "Mo Udall!"
The Master in Manos: "Michael Franks!"
Knight in The Magic Sword: "Harry Shearer!"
Ghost in Magic Sword: "Marcia Wallace?!?"
Pitch in Santa Claus: "Jamie Farr!"
Old guy in Castle of Fu Manchu: "Chester A. Arthur!"
Sometimes they're combined with other riffs: Dad in Warrior of the Lost World: "Jimmy Carter is The Enforcer"
Bad guy in Last of the Wild Horses: "Don Adams, Eavesdropper"
All the Richard Burton references about the kid in Gamera vs. Guiron
Sometimes they are a little more clever, such as: "If Michael Caine and Andre the Giant had a child" riff in Danger!! Death Ray. These count, too.

The Skydivers- "George Herman Ruth on guitar."
Plus about six (?) "Howard Stern!" shout-outs throughout the series.
I'd love to see all of them strung together in a You-tube montage...Plus the one (or two?) from CT. Any video geniuses out there that could do that for me? My birthday IS coming up...(cough-valentine's day-cough)

From Zombie Nightmare, when the feather-haired douche gets out of his car and walks toward the Twist 'n' Créme:
"It's Tommy Stinson!" "Yeah, except heavier."

Angel's Revenge
When Pat Buttram turns to the screen after selling the van to the ladies.
Tom Servo:"Olympia Dukakis, ladies and gentlemen!"
Mike loses it and I'm pretty sure they have to stop tape because there seems to be a jump cut in the theater seats.
