There are a few sayings I use frequently that I picked up from watching MST3K, for example “Push the button, Frank”, and “It Stinks!” (I actually used the former in a meeting at work today, thus prompting this topic). I would assume that I am not the only MiSTie who has glommed onto these catchphrases, and uses them in their daily life, so…
What sayings have you picked up from watching MST3K?
“Push the button, Frank”, “Hikeeba!”, and if anything with Joe Don Baker in it is on TV, the requisite “You guys watch Joe Don Baker movies?” is thrown out by anyone walking into the room.
I’m sure there’s more.
Final Sacrifice is officially my favorite episode (according to my profile), one unfortunate side effect of that being the case is that I am prone to begin singing “Rowsdower Saves Us” on any occasion which seems fitting.
Unfortunately those occasions come up all too un-frequently. The audience on those occasions may disagree.
I’ve definitely used “it stinks” with the accompanying hand sign many times. “I’m Cherokee Jack” is another one I’ve used to the bewilderment of others.
Not a saying necessarily, but every time I hear “Take It Easy” I sing.
“Running down the road, trying to loosen my load, I got Coleman Francis on my mind.”
I’m also prone to use “I’m the god! I’M THE GOD!” at times. I realise it’s actually a Twilight Zone line, but TV Frank’s delivery of it gives it a whole different texture.
