"Ohhhh, Krankor blew up a potential tackler on the 40 and now there's nothing but daylight!"
Empirical data suggests the accuracy of my earlier contention that your weapons against me are without merit! Ha ha!
"You will find that impossible is a word that does not exist to me." Even though I just said it
"It says, 'Employees Must Wash Hands Before Returning To Invasion.'"
"Ah, Captain Manakata. Come in, Please."
"I understand you're stuffed with cheese."
"Ready? Aaaand... Mince, mince, mince, mince, mince, mince, mince..."
"Gentlemen, this may be our last day on Earth." "Let's hit the karaoke bar!"
You know, this movie made me want to renounce my Toyota.
Samuel Barber's Adagio for Young Japanese Children.
There's no use firing! Your guns won't work against me!" - Have I mentioned that?
"I can't move!" "...oh wait, sorry, I can move, I just forgot how for a second!"
On their own, the giant infant scientists survived another minute and then crashed.
And a proud, noble civilization dies out....sometimes. This LOSER civilization, however, will not be missed!

"Thank you."
"MY ARTHRITIS!"
"OH, MY SPASTIC COLON!"
"OH, MY GOUT!"

He has defeated us numerous times! What makes him think he can do it again?!
I thought you said you were going to start with the children!?

I liked it very much
Crow's muttered phrase "what the hell's this?!" at 1:05:33 pretty much sums up the whole movie.
Love the Gamera references!!!!
I just made the mistake of watching the ‘Best-of’ clip. The concentrated hilarity almost killed me.

Oh, and just one more thing... even inasmuch as I preferred Invasion Of The Neptune Men over Prince Of Space, I've got to give the Prince one thing: he actually traveled in outer space -- to another planet, even -- as opposed to Space Chief, or, as Crow referred to him, "Lower Atmosphere Chief".
So, yeah... my final verdict on this episode? I like it VERY MUCH!

Well, I'll be dipped. Here's yet another episode I downloaded and watched for the first time in about twelve years, decided I wasn't that crazy about it, threw it onto the backup pile -- and then pulled it out about six months later, watched it again, and realized it was awesome.
Ironically, the two things about the movie that annoyed me the most -- skinny, femmy-looking Prince Of Space in his wussy white outfit, and Phantom Of Krankor's annoying laugh -- are the things I think are funniest about it. I'd also forgotten how great the riffing was in this one, especially the non-verbal riffing: the chicken clucking noises the Crew make every time the alien spacemen appear. I also love the scenes where the aliens go undercover to find the Prince Of Space -- with their secret alien tracking device in the back of a '54 Chevy.
Needless to say, it's now earned a spot in my regular rotation, as part of my "Turning Japanese" playlist, and as an excellent companion piece with Invasion Of The Neptune Men.
The host segments are a gas, too -- where they're suffering the wormhole effects: things happening three seconds ahead of each other, Nelson being turned into a Marionation puppet, and that one segment that they shot on location in real, actual Minnesota woods. Weeeeiiirrrrd.

Krankor's laugh...
"HAA HAA HAA HAA..."
Crank Whore. That is all.

I love that the Phantom of Krankor so graciously expresses to his captives that he cannot understand a society where intelligent men like them aren't in charge. It really speaks volumes for the kind of enlightened utopia that Earth might have become if the Krankorians had taken over.
28:22 I wouldn't want these guys in the olfactory.

You’d think after being trapped in a satellite for 500 years Crow at least would enjoy being outside for a while.
Tied for my favorite episode with Puma-Man.
So Prince of Space's powers include "immune to all weapons" and "can go anywhere he wants". He's bordering dangerously close to Ruben Bolling's "God-Man" character.
Also, if your alter ego is a bootblack who is raising two orphans, where do you find time to fight crime?
"So is this gonna be a super-violent porn cartoon?" We should be so lucky.
Did anyone else get creeped out at the "He's even started teaching them how to earn their own money" bit/

45:53ish. The Krankorian sign is actually written with Thai letters! Maybe that's only interesting to me.

I love Chicken man and his terrible lines. Just thinking how such incompetence could try to take over the world is a must see.

Anyone have an actual count on how many times he tells Krankor that his weapons will have no effect on him?

I love how Krankor's laugh deteriorates towards the end of the movie
Ok, we've reached the pinnacle here. No need to search further!
I got spurs that go jingley jangley jingle after all :)
Brain Guy's cowboy bit makes me laugh every single time I see it.

Seeing Mike as a little robot is priceless!
I think this has to be the easiest to watch B&W episode out there. This one goes down smoothe
I need this on DVD or instant watch.
