Thank you!
I did actually get that they were making lesbian references, Diet Kolos, dear master of duplication... the k.d. lang and Lillian Helman refs made that much clear.
I just had no idea who Amanda Beardsley was. And couldn't find said person via searching the wubbernets. Thank you, that's been driving me up the fricking wall.

The Children's Hour is about lesbians? I just sent a copy to my young niece! My sister's gonna be madder than when I threw a dart and hit her in the calf! (true story)

The Children's Hour is about lesbians? I just sent a copy to my young niece! What, you sent her a copy of the play? Or a copy of the film version with Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine? Neither are what we'd call explicit. (See this discussion.) There's also a poem of that name by Longfellow.

A few pages back there was a comment that at the end of Project Moonbase that someone walks back into the theater at the end of the movie. Just saw the last part on youtube and it looks like Joel re-entered carrying Tom .. perhaps Joel was picking up Tom's head? youtube.com/watch?v=2qM3bSZcwi4Not sure if the question of what was happening was answered ...

In a few episodes Joel would pick up a microphone and say "DO WHAT I DO" during an invention exchange. This has always been terribly funny to me, but what was it referencing?

According to page 1 of this thread, it's a reference to old "Amazing Discoveries" infomercials, though I always got more of a Vincent Price vibe from it. A line like that would have fit perfectly in with some of his tacky old commercials.

Thanks. Edit: And I happened to watch Project Moonbase yesterday and saw that "head" pop back onto the screen during the credits. I was like, What the H.?

Question about 904-Werewolf if I may... There's a scene about 1/3rd in, where our hero goes to a house in California, and first meets Crazy Redneck With Shotgun. The cab pulls up to the house, and Servo sings some sort of "doo, doo, doooo" and then says "Wrong movie".
What's he riffing?
Danke!

That is the intro theme from "Mork and Mindy" which ends with M&M driving up to a house in a shot composed very similarly to the one in Werewolf. The houses look somwhat similar in architecture, but other than that there aren't many similarities.

Ah, THANK you, hugo! You can have ham and wine. May the sawdust in you not swell.
I rewatched that scene 3 times and thought "Newhart theme? The hotel one, not the Chicago one? No, that doesn't sound right." I haven't seen Mork and Mindy in 20 years easy.

There is one reference in MST3K The Movie that escapes me.
Its the jungle drum beat Mike and the Bots start doing during the scene in Exeter's office where its just a shot of Exeter with his arms crossed.

Exeter's stoic arms-crossed pose is very Indian Native-American-chief-looking. Hence the Indian Native-American drum beat riff. At least that's my take on it.
