Underwater soldier guy climbs 40 feet up a rock cliff:
"Okay, hand me up that horse."
"Soon they will be laughin at me, and I'll have to go on a shootin spree."
"He did see something that night. Something that had intelligence enough to seek him out and destroy him later."
That was smart.
Let me get in my costume and tell you about it, now pretend I'm a ???? pirate.
Joel, I can't help but feel that that film was flawed in certain ways...
"They're probably night creatures. They can't stand the light, so they stay down at the bottom during the day."
Servo: *looks at Joel* Oh, like comedians.
Joel: *nod* mmm-hmm.
"I want straight answers. Where did you hide them after you killed them?"
*giant belch*... Sorry. I ate 'em.
(In robotic unison) I'm a little teapot, short and stout. This is my handle, this is my gun. One is for pouring, one is for fun.
*being attacked by hulking robots* "They're not human!!" Uh, yeah. We noticed.
We are lost, R2.
*boop boo beep boop*
No, if you go that way, you'll be breaking down in no time.
*sad whistle*
Wait a minute! We're on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
"We're being dragged down by some mysterious force!" The plot?
Hey! Guys! You know where you're going? It's this way!
*entire cavalry regiment does a 180 and comes back towards Joel*
No. No! NO! NOOOO! I am the sum of my vices, my pain, my happiness, my losses, my love, my struggles, my hobbies, Mylanta! I want to live! I want to live and love and learn and live! *sob*
But this won't hurt a bit.
Okay.
Hold on a minute. I don't go calling you a beautiful shapely woman, do I ?
Crow: I hate when they talk thru the movie---ooooh.
"AAAAHH!! AAAAAHHH!!!! AAAAHHH!!!!!"
"What're you yelling at?! Shut up! SHUT UP! You think I like it, being stuck in Limbo with you? NO! Get on your orange and yellow knees and kiss my clown feet that I haven't killed you!"
"... And speaking of 'common animals,' how's Steve coming along?"
I'm willin' to bet a month's pay they ain't gonna come up with nothin' but excuses! ("I could USE ten bucks!")
Get on your orange and yellow knees and kiss my clown feet that I haven't killed you!
[Servo] Will the leech survive? Will they drink more coffee and will the fat guy’s wife ever touch him? And what about Naomi?!.....
[Crow] This looks like the right side of the wrong side of the tracks...
[Man with headdress/helmet walks by]
[Joel] Your heads very creative today Kyle
I'm a danger to myself and others
My cousins are as close as brothers...
What is she on her lunch break from Wendy's or something?
Feller by the name of Humbert Humbert wants to see me.
Oh no! They're shooting hot dogs at 'em. Hold the mustard on that one!
"Yeah, and then we went on to showgirl costumes."
"By the way, can I borrow yer' fondue set? Sara an' her mother are comin' over later."
"Man, look at all the weed where are they Tommy Chong's backyard?"
"Y'know, maybe this isn't the right time ta' talk about this, but I love muffins! Y'know those... real fancy nut 'n fruit muffins they got fulla' whole grain..."
"Man, ah' do wonder what it'd be lahk' t'make love t'ya', though."
"...and around the clubhouse turn is Apartment House with plenty of room with Bird Droppings on the rail comin' 'round the bennnd..."
♮ ♫ "The night Chicaaago diiiied... La la la la la la..." ♫ ♮
"Hey, Kid... D'huh... Feel free ta' dig ya' heel inta' my groin!"
"You take it back my sister does not swim towards troop ships!"
I'll carry her!...nah, I'll carry her!....No, I'll carry her.....
We're a danger to ourselves and others. / I like shows with Sally Struthers.
Hey little girl, would you like a salted nut roll?
“I’ve been round here for years; I’ve never seen anything like that.” I’m a professional skeptic.
“We’ve only been at it two days and I feel worn out.” Probably because of my stories.
"Get out you fat pig!" Now wait a minute, I don't go callin' YOU a 'beautiful, shapely woman' now do I?
"And uh, supposin' there is no contamination?"
Well then we'll add some.
Ya know, I think the bloom's off the rose. (One of my Top Five Crow deliveries.)
"We're walking really fast, we're walking really, really fast. . ."
I hate when they talk during the movie! Oh...
It's the Ponderosa under the sea!
Kill the dorky guy! I hate comic relief.
Uh, she dropped her contact lens in my mouth and was trying to get it out with her tongue...uh yeah, that's it...
This is my handle, this is my gun. One is for pouring, one is for fun.
I'll catch you, you wascally adulterers!
"Right over there in them weeds" is where my daddy met my pappy.
I know what you're thinking. Did I fire one shot or only one?
Hey! These dogs have been sniffing each other! Liberty! Checkers!

I just noticed that during the coffee break segment, their coffee mugs all match them. Joel's and Tom's are red, Gypsy's is purple, and Crow's is gold/yellow. Also, there's some di-gel sitting on the counter. I'm not sure why it's there.

I like how Kevin Murphy makes no effort to change his voice when he does his occasional bit with Dr. CF and TVF. It's actually a little disturbing to hear that voice come out of a human. :-/

So this is what happens when a Harold Warren-type takes a bet that he can write better than "that hack Tennessee Williams" even with a hangover, on 48 hours' notice. Hunh!
Near the end, during a sorting out of the confusion exchange amongst the bots, Tom says: it doesn't matter.
No, it doesn't. Perhaps that is the theme of MST. What happens up there on the screen is of no importance, and you shouldn't bother your nominally-operative better brains beyond acknowledging their absurdity and cracking wise when the spirit moves you.
Though this ep is much-beloved, I still don't enjoy it that much. "Danger to Myself and Others" is funny, but it lacks the topical ellipticity and goofball energy of "Hike Up Your Pants."
I believe the Crash Corrigan serial is the oldest thing they ever watched on MST. 30s scifi had a distinct look and feel.

I love how many obscure Frank Zappa references are peppered throughout the series.... "Is that a real poncho, or is that a SEARS poncho?"....I remember reading that Frank was a huge fan very early on and went out of his way to contact the show so he could hang out at the set. I guess he became good friends with everyone in the cast and crew.
