I've been catching up on posts here, and the "best throwaway" one made me think of one of the sweetest spices in the MST soup, sarcasm.
Sarcasm, sweet sarcasm, whither would we be without you? How could we take down Manos, dance a jig on Spider Island, defuse the Horror at Party Beach with a single sharp laugh? Without your pungent application, shorts featuring breathtaking sexism would run wild, and badly done monster suits cavort with nary a snapback!
I was originally going to make this a poll, but it would take about four hundred entries to even scratch the surface, so everybody, what is your favorite sarcastic comment, grunt, or snicker fired at the screen?
I'll start: I just listed this one but I love it so-- in Young Man's Fancy, when Judy's snaffling bacon like a half-starved terrier, going on about how she loves it crisp and crunchy like this, and Mike just says "Yeah, evidently."
Come on, everybody! Ya gotta fake nice for too much of your lives as it is!
You can hardly see where you bit me!

Two good ones I can think of:
"Nice color scheme with those purple chairs." Joel - K13 SST - Death Flight
"Dirty, greasy walls - a shortlived design fad." Crow - #806 The Undead

I'm kinda partial to the "Must have been one of those effects too expensive to show" comment in Cave Dwellers.

"Oh, really complicated," when Joel reacts to the "complicated series of water channels" in the short about Truck Farming.

First Spaceship on Venus. The whole episode. Servo's sarcasm sequencer gets annoying, but he's also got some great lines.

This gem from Monster A-Go Go:
Narrator (referring to a puny space capsule): "This is the capsule that astronaut Douglas flew in..." Servo: "Douglas was pear-shaped, very short, and stood the whole way."
