It's the stateroom scene on the boat in "A Night at the Opera." Chico or Groucho is ordering dinner and ends up after a huge list of things adding, "And two hard-boiled eggs." Harpo beeps his horn and whoever says, "Make that three hard-boiled eggs." Actually it's kind of a running gag. It happens two or three times in that movie.

I wouldn't be surprised. There are a LOT of Marx brothers references in mst3k. My favorite was host segment two of Night Of The Blood Beast: They reenact/mock the "Wishing" song from the "Once Upon A Honeymoon" short, and at the end they burst into that song from Duck Soup ("...we line you up against the wall and POP goes the weasel!") That sent me into a fit of merriment.

Hey I got one. It's one of my favorite lines but I have no idea what it's from. They use it a lot.
"Do you want to go faster?" "Yay!" "Raise your hand if you want to go faster!"
What is that from?
Also, "Chopper, he's the funny one!"
Anybody help on these?

"Do you want to go faster?"is a carnival thing. They usually have a toboggan kind of ride spinning people around and they guy running the ride yells "Do you want to go faster?"on the PA to get the riders to scream out. Anyway I've seen that in California, the Brains are in the Midwest so it must be everywhere.

Oh okay, I don't go to carnivals, scared of the carnies. I thought maybe it was from a movie.
Anybody help on "Except for Chopper, he's the funny one!" Another one I thought of, "Did someone say 'meat'?"

Okay, I'm stumped.
In Fire Maidens From Outer Space, there's the group of scientists and "mannish women" sitting around in a control tower of sorts back on earth. They're waiting to hear from our heroes on New Atlantis who are too busy being pawed and tied up by beautiful women in short skirts to phone home.
Anyway, everytime there's an exterior shot of their control tower, someone says the riff: "ParaMunda" or something like that. I like to think I'm a snob and culturally wise and all that, but this one's too esoteric even for me. Anyone know?

I'm not sure of the spelling but Penamunda was the site where the Germans built and launched the V2 rockets in WW II. I think their mostly just refering to the stock footage being used.

Bond is in a centrifuge and the bad guy says Do you wanna go faster?"

Judging from the spinning tent thing in the background and Tom doing circus music. I've only seen two Bond flicks, does the one Poe's refering to have a spinning tent thingy?

How about when one of them says something like "We must confound Jerry day and night!" in a British accent? I get that it's a WWII thing, but is that from something? It's always in the same tone of voice, so I don't know.
