One of my favorite moments on any episode has to be when Joel/Mike and the bots scream or react in terror at a sudden jump-cut, unflattering close-up, or loud noise.
The top three for me are:
3. During the "What About Juvenile Delinquency?" short, when we're treated to a freaky close-up of one of the delinquent defector's debate team friends. Crow simply screams, Servo yells "No! Mommy! Avert your eyes!", and Mike puts his hands to his face and starts crying!!
2. In "Devil Doll", the camera shows the cast sitting around looking depressing, then pans left to suddenly reveal the gigantic head of an old man. Servo turns & notices, and gets a helluva scare, as do Mike and Crow.
1. The funniest of them all has to be from "San Francisco International", after the bogus emergency landing. As Pernell Roberts is breaking the news to everyone, the camera cuts to close-ups of all the pissed-off passengers. As we're treated to a truly horrifying close-up of a scowling old man with evil-looking eyes, Crow screams "AAAAAH!! RUUUUUUN!" and actually turns to race out of the theater, before it quickly cuts away again.

I always love it when the movie makes them "flinch."
Some of my favorites being the Hitler Building from Neptune Men and Arch Hall Jr. from Eegah.

Red Zone Cuba has so many unexplained jump cuts, it's crazy. Mike even mentions that he may have broken his neck from so many jump cuts near the end.

In The Amazing Colossal Man, there is like a full minute of silence (no talking, no riffing, NOTHING), then suddenly, one of the guys on screen says "I uhh..." and all three go "WHOA!!!" then Servo says " Don't EVER DO THAT!".

The (real) telephone noises in Monster a Go-Go, they're so loud and they normally come after a long silence; if I remember right the last time it happens Joel and the bots have just fallen asleep.

In Manos: The Hands of fate, during that horrible "HIRED!" movie, each time the clockwork thing would swing around, they would scream. That was funny.

Theres a good one in Gamera vs Guiron:
Cornjob: I believe you, because you are a good girl, and you wouldn't lie. You are a good girl, you wouldn't lie. I'll find your brother.
Joel and bots: Aww...
Akio's little sister : Thankyou!!
Joel and bots: Aww....
Cut to Tom's mother
Joel and bots: Aghhhh!!!!!

So many of my faves are already taken....I feel so left out....
But you left out all of the "AAAAHHHHHHH, I'M IN ANOTHER DIMENSION!" screams from "The Brain That Wouldn't Die." Those camera angles were just so strange....

I'm partial to whenever Joel and the bots would scream when they panned to Arch Hall Jr's face in Eegah.
