Riffs you quote here will appear randomly in the 
above.
Actress- "I'll work ever so hard. I'll do a great job in your picture." Not like now.
Crow: Oh, she's gonna frame the cushion!
Tom: The Princess and the Piece.
Michael Medved panned "Lickety Lovelies", read it yourself.
Don't tell me they're trying to peddle those pictures in church! That market's saturated.
Please remain seated until the shower has come to a full and complete stop.
Just keep brushing and brushing and saying the name of our Lord and Savior!
"Show me a crime and I'll show you a picture that could have caused it." (No riff necessary.)
The Sinister Urge is a *silly* urge!
The Sinister Urge is a *stupid* urge!
If they're raiding these guys, think of the arrests they could make at the beach!
The technique here is to focus on the desk and let the rest just happen.
"There you are, Don, back in bed early this morning." Now a giant cockroach.

I love Johnny Ride lamenting that he used to be a good director. It's oddly honest and self-conscious, to the point where I wondered where it really came from...
I can't believe I just noticed Gloria stroking a highball glass in a very, uh, porny way. Mike even points it out but I've always missed it.
ok, humming the Mission Impossible music while that guy was sneaking around on the patio might be the most subtle reference I've ever caught in an mst episode.

I know what this flick lacks. Ortega!
Possibly it's just me, but the idea of a guy who wore ladies' undergarments making a movie about the evils of smut seems to be at best ironic.
Johnny Ride fell far from his police detail in Plan 9.
Notice also one of the cops is the same in both movies, and when Crow cheers "Oh GOODY! This guy!", that's because this guy's not only Gramps from Teenagers from Outer Space, he's the bird-man who eulogized "He tampered in God's domain" in Bride of the Monster. :)
one of my favorite shorts!
That lady's voice hurts. Ow.
Officer Kline Rules! That wasn't Kline getting knocked out in drag right? I don't think so. I hope not! MST3K Fact: Mr. Romaine aka fat-boy in the police office was grandpa in "Teenagers From Outer Space" Love those garments Gloria wore indeed I do :-D

"Show me a crime and I'll show you a picture that could have caused it."
Actually, the last scenes of this film are probably the best work Ed Wood ever did.

The little girl in the grooming sketch is wearing SO MUCH makeup during the 'getting ready for bed' segment. What is this, "Golden Girls, Jr."??
"We'll put a sweater and skirt on a policeman." Wonder where Ed Woods got that idea?....
Oh, and wtf, I've gone into my driveway to get something from my car in fewer clothes than those chicks who are posing!
Oh yeah, there were often non-functional telephone booths sprinkled haphazardly throughout the woods in those days.
Ten to one Ed Wood personally selected all of Gloria's outfits :)

Two things I learned from the short:
1. Boys in the 50s were so horribly disgusting that you had to explain--step-by-step, in graphic detail--the process of bathing and grooming if you wanted ANY chance of making them presentable to the outside world.
2. Girls in the 50s never needed to bathe, as dirt and filth avoided them out of respect for their immaculate purity. HOWEVER, they did need to spend 3 hours before bed performing elaborate hair maintenance rituals, and then 2 hours in the morning selecting the day's outfit. Boys can wear whatever they like, so long as their shoes are shined.
Is THIS what Middle America thought pornography was back in the 50s?
Just WHAT are they being raided for at the start of the film, anyway? Making the Modern Maturity Swimsuit Issue? Or Playboy's Girls of Amish Country?
I've seen laxative commercials that were sexier than that photo shoot! :P

"I'm sure Frank's not serious..." "He sure is Mike! Those are DEFINITELY pinking shears!" ROFL
Was I watching "Dragnet" outtakes? Worst acting ever! Perfect selection for MST3K. Made Jack Webb look like Lawrence Olivier!!!

"Taxpayer, the smut picture racket worse then kidnapping or dope peddling." No it isn't!

I'm only halfway through this and it's easily one of my favorites.
The play by play in "short" IS CLASSIC MST3k
This is such a terribly underrated episode, in my opinion. Everything about it cracks me up...from Gypsy's shower, to Frank planning to blow up Deep 13, to one of my favorite shorts, to a great riff on an Ed Wood movie. Awesome from start to finish.

Why Rob Zombie named an album after this movie I will never know...

This was the last movie Ed Wood did before he started making porn...
