"I feel awkward. Did I overdress?" I have to admit that all the characters in that movie treating Samson's wardrobe as if it were the most natural thing in the world will never fail to amuse me. I could watch that episode another 500 times and I'd still laugh and laugh. I'm guessing that Samson/Santo appeared earlier in the original film, but some editing had to be done to make the movie fit into the show, thus resulting in the hero's impromptu appearance and Crow's highly appropriate guffaw. Actually, I believe that it's pretty much as they showed it. In that particular genre, Mexican Wrestler movies, the protagonist always wanders around in his full wrestling ensemble and nobody ever notices it being out of place. As far as I know, they never lampshade just how ridiculous it is. You'd never question a police officer or soldier wearing a uniform in a movie, after all.... You know, Santo was never seen in public without his mask on. He was even buried in it.

Another one:
Eegah:
Eegah has brought the unconscious Roxy into the cave and set her down next to her father. Her father tries to rouse her...
Robert I. Miller: Roxy! Joel: (as Robert I. Miller) You finally break up with that weird-faced kid?
Just the idea that that would be what he'd initially say in this situation was hilarious.

I also get a kick out of scenes where there's a countdown involved; a character in the movie is calling off the countdown, and in the short spaces between numbers, Joel/Mike and the Bots yell out numbers out of sequence: "Eleventy... pi... one million... Avogadro's Number... Planck's Constant...!" I found Crow's response to this in Invasion of the Neptune Men much more amusing. "Ten, nine...." "Yeah yeah yeah. Whatever. ONE." "Eight, seven..." "ONE!" "Six..." "ONE!" Yep that happened in Time Chasers too.

Yep that happened in Time Chasers too. Nah, in Neptune Men, it was because Crow was so annoyed at how they were pointlessly dragging the ending out. In Time Chasers, it was because they screwed up the timing of the countdown such that it should have hit zero about ten seconds before it would have, had they not crashed the plane. Display indicates 8 seconds remaining. Five seconds pass. Display indicates 6 seconds remaining. Five seconds pass. Display indicates 4 seconds remaining. Five seconds pass. Display indicates 2 seconds remaining. Five seconds pass. CRASH!

I've always enjoyed...oh, which episode was it. Phantom Planet, maybe? No, tha'ts not right... Anyway, there's some episode where they're doing a rocketship countdown and after they say "Four" one of the bots shouts "Pi!" I've taken to doing the same in real life, much to everyone else's displeasure.

Y'know, I just remembered one that I'm surprised I'd forgotten about. There's a scene in The Unearthly with Carradine, the other older doctor cohort of his, and that "Jethro" guy in the chair, catatonic. Carradine and the other doctor are discussing Jethro's condition in low, grumbly, froggy-throated tones, and Crow and Servo are mocking their voices by making wordless, low, grumbly, froggy-throated noises.
Check it out at around the 32-minute mark:

I don't know if I've mentioned this one before, but I love the following exchange in "The Mole People":
John Agar: In archaeology, all things are possible. Mike: Well, not...really...
Just the dubious way he says it kills me; it's pitch-perfect.

I enjoy the whiny nggghh wheezing that is showcased in copious amounts of the young men in Hobgoblins, and Boggy Creek II when they are refueling the light and no-shirt boy is hnngging a lot, and main guy is hopping over bushes hngging it.

I dont recall the episode but in one there is a scientist talking to other sciencey types in response to another thingy and they go through one of those science babbly theorems ending with "wouldnt that also be the way to do that!" Like YES! the momentum was building but then Crow says "Nno."

Sounds similar to a scene from The Projected Man: Dr. Hill: Would it be possible for the direction of the magnetic field, the polarity, to - Crow: No, we THOUGHT of that, NO.

Thing That Couldn't Die
Oily Beat is making eyes at Jessica. His girlfriend good naturedly throws cold water on him by telling him that she'd be safer alone than with an artist like him.
Crow: (as Oily Beat) She's right, honey. I'd take you to the mat. Heh heh. Bye bye!
Just the casualness and nonchalance of the line was great. The little giggle in the middle of it was perfect.

There's a great one in Junior Rodeo Daredevils: at about 06:00, one of the young girls is thrown off a calf she's riding; the narrator says "you should see the boys when she goes square dancing", and Servo jumps in with "yeah, they buck her off right away!"

It cracks me up EVERY SINGLE TIME.
