So I watched Squirm in its entirety for the first time. Very much enjoyed it, but, wow, it contained some ridiculous dialogue (like most of the experiments, I suppose). One line from Geri, the female lead, stuck with me. It came when her sister was absent-mindedly fidgeting with Mr. Beardsley's skull (to paraphrase Cartman: Dude, this is pretty messed up right here). Geri gets angry about her sister's indifference to the passing of the mysterious Mr. Beardsley and yells at her, "He was a beautiful old man!" Hilarious. Oddly, the line wasn't riffed, if I remember right.
Of course, the "You gonna be the worm face" stinger line is also memorable from Squirm.
So, what other preposterous lines of dialogue from MST3K come to mind for you (besides the obvious stinger lines)? I have a couple more to add, but I'll see if anyone else has the same idea.

I was just looking at some YouTube videos the other day. MST3K and others and came across this... Hillbilly Gibberish indeed  |

In the context of The Creeping Terror: "Go to hell."
But then, pretty much all the dialogue in The Creeping Terror is ridiculous.
There's also some real classics in Sidehackers; nearly every line spoken by JC is ridiculous, especially that "He Just Says Noooooo" rap. Then, there's that whole exchange between Rommel and his buddy in the bike shop, culminating in the infamous "chili peppers burn my gut".
That scene in Hellcats where Hagen's character explains his origins to the other bikers is pretty damn' ridiculous, too: "...the blue, he say 'you get on your hog and you move'...!"
For that matter, every episode in the Biker Trilogy is pure, deep-baked ridiculous...
"She's cased out some pads with more bread than you could ever dream of!" --Jeeter, Wild Rebels
But, let's move on...
Suzy: Is Frank here?
Beth (in a soulless monotone): No, Frank is not here.
--The Skydivers
"If you need any help, my friend here can fly."
--Coleman Francis, Red Zone Cuba
"Flag on the Moon. How did it get there?"
-- Coleman Francis, Beast Of Yucca Flats
"Cut his throat in a church!"
--Laertes to Claudius, Hamlet
"But he would never dare to enter our territory!"
--Nila, Cavé Dwellers (but then, that whole scene is a ridiculous dialogue progressive dinner)
...and as long as we're at it, pretty much every time that John Saxon-looking villain warlord with the long moustache in Cavé Dwellers opens his mouth, he can't not be ridiculous.
And, if you're going to talk swords'n'fantasy, you can't leave out Deathstalker, where the question would be more like "what dialogue isn't ridiculous"?
"Potatoes are what we eat!"

It sure doesn't help that the captioning routines are also trying to interpret the riffing as part of the dialogue. If i were deaf, I'd be laughing at this clip, but not in the way it was intended... In all fairness, though, remember that Sam Casey wasn't technically a redneck, just going undercover as a gearhead. Obama Hilton with thirty times truck wrap around outside things gold... dear god, that's priceless. Almost sounds like a Bob Dylan lyric. Almost.

Another bizarre one (perhaps the original audience of the film was down with the lingo) comes from Kitten With a Whip: "Everything's so creamy!"
Was that a common saying back then or was the film trying to popularize it? Was creamy the precursor to "cool" or "hot" or was it supposed to compete with "far out" or "smooth"? If "creamy" why not "buttery" or "gooey"? Or, perhaps, "oily"?

I'm trying to remember... was it Invasion Of The Neptune Men where the kids would occasionally run two or three normal but unrelated thoughts together?
I don't know if ridiculous is the right word, but Johnny Longbow listing soup ingredients in Track Of The Moon Beast is certainly... ponderous if nothing else.

How did Donald Pleasance in PumaMan escape mention this long?
"BECAUSE YOU ARE MADE OF EARTH, AND TO EARTH YOU SHALL RETURN!"
"You will never again leave me for this irrational feeling you call love!"

Some pretty good candidates right here..
Not my creation or opinion. But these are good too.

Hmmm, I'd nominate Mom's free-form dialogue/monologue from Teenage Strangler, from the phone until she takes Lt. Anderson to see Betty's dad. It's just such bubbly non sequitur nonsense.
"Let's go into the living room! My husband's in there!"
