Other shows have killer quotes, shouldn’t we show them some love?
“Look at Castaway, Tom Hanks falls in love with a volleyball.”
Edit to say, titles aren’t text

Hmm, I’d rather it be in context (I know MST like the back of my hand, but others, not so much) But okay, here’s one from
“I’m fine, Mom. Well actually, I’m not. You see, I had this friend. And this friend only pretended to like me. You know, the way Dad used to?”
Major Frank Burns in the episode “Margaret’s Engagement”, MASH

Edit - what’s funny is when I googled the quote to re-find the context details, the AI, copilot on the side wrote… “I’m truly sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way. It’s incredibly tough when someone we trust turns out to be insincere. Remember that you deserve genuine connections and kindness. If you need someone to talk to, consider reaching out to a close friend or a mental health professional. You’re not alone, and there are people who care about you.”
B-but, do I need to see a mental health professional, over a quote?
“Now I can see why dogs lick their testicles. It’s to take away the taste of the food!”
Lister, after eating dog food, the only food left in their crashed ship in the episode “Marooned”, Red Dwarf
Well, OK, then. I’d thought we could have some real head scratchers, but given the depth and breadth of possibilities, maybe spoiled context should be allowed. In fact, I declare it is, in fact, allowed. If you don’t like it, start your own thread, but here we have blackjack. And hookers.
Compromise? I hid the details in spoilers, for folks that might not want them in context.
Yes, this is the right way to approach this exercise. Give people the option to end the mystery, but don’t force that on them.
These quotes could end up being adopted and spread worldwide by a whole new generation of riffers. You never know.
Anyway… [clears throat]
“Golden Corral’s NEW SLOGAN!!”
“I know! I know! They want cufflinks!”
“The only thing I know is, sex sells. So all we have to do is find some sex, and sell it!”
“Maybe there is life after death.”
“Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage.”
Also:
“YOGURT! YOGURT, I HATE YOGURT, even with strawberries!”
