I'm not usually that into lowbrow, "toilet" humor on the show, but I cracked up very hard at this, from "Girl in Gold Boots":
Harry Blatz: Excuse me. Mike: I'm gonna go over here and fart.

I think this one was from "Riding With Death":
Crow: Whatever, I don't get the seventies.

I think we're getting past the throwaway part. That looks funny even in sentence form.

The Undead STAAAAY!!!!
816: Prince of Space
Krank-Whore? loved this line no end.
THE DEAD TALK BACK Krasker: This Mike: Is THIS!! That deep voice Mike used sold the riff and made it funny.
Too Numerous to name Servo: The HELL!?!?!

Bart Fargo drops into the artist's studio from the roof:
Crow, in a smug/trying to be sexy voice: Ow, my... ankle.
It's pretty much all in the delivery with quotes like these.

The Deadly Mantis:
I never suggested we were looking for a dragonfly.
Mike (extremely smarmy): So shut your fat gob.

Space Mutiny. Guy falls off a railing: 'EEEEYYyy! Mike: 'OOOOOw y'all doin?
Yeah, I think the throwaways are some of my favorites. You can't even describe them to anyone who hasn't watched the episode, though...

For a riff's humor that you can't possibly accurately describe to someone who hasn't seen the episode, I submit:
Joel: "Unbelievable."
from Monster A Go-Go.
What makes that line so hilarious is the way Joel said it, and you can't appreciate that without knowing just how terrible and half-assed the movie had been, of which the person-imitating-phone moment was the cherry on the sundae, so to speak.
And whenever I hear it, I just laugh and laugh.

Actually from a host segment, I believe the one where Tom is Weather Servo 9:
Crow: You're gonna die in space. Gypsy: CROW! ...He might not....

From Phantom Planet, after McConen says something like, "I think we'll get back okay," and then Mike (as Chapman) says, "Yeah. I know you think that."

Not sure if this constitutes a throwaway riff, but...
Space Children, the Century 21 Calling! short:
Telephone Lady: Ever been invited out for an evening...
Tom Servo: No.
Telephone Lady: ...and had to turn it down because you're expecting an extra special call?
Tom Servo: (slightly more forceful) No.
I rarely remember that riff until I see the episode again and it never fails to kill me.

She Creature:
Lombardi and Andrea have arrived at Chappel's party, coming in through the (totally NOT a rich man's mansion's) front door. Lombardi is dressed in a tuxedo and has the Swedish servant helping him take off his top hat, top coat and white gloves and scarf. Lombardi stuffily surveys the assemblage and Mike cuts in as Lombardi:
"Keg in the bathtub as usual?"

One favorite of mine is one which seems to pop up over and over: whenever a character in a movie sees something horribly gross or repulsive and reacts wordlessly, Joel -- or Mike -- will jump in with "thanks for showing me that!"
I've got that in my personal list of MST3K riffs and wisecracks I've placed in reserve for whenever the proper situation presents itself.

D'oh, just remembered another one... in Starfighters, when Dornan and his buddy are reporting at the Air Force base: they pull up to the gate, present their papers, and the MP at the gate snaps off that slightly exaggerated salute, and Crow does that silly old Johnny Carson laugh, "hoo hooo-oooo!"

D'ahh ha ha ha ha ha haahhh. That's an all-timer, even though it's technically not a riff by one of the Crew, but actual spoken dialogue in the movie. I always thought that should've been the "stinger" for that episode; instead, they chose some odd nondescript moment from the movie. I always thought that shot of that time-traveling psychical research guy in the stupid fake knight outfit, his face contorted with rage, snarling "STAAAYYY!" was sure-fire stinger material.
