S3The Castle of Fu Manchu

(as Tom, Crow, and Joel are doing a sketch of trucker characters riding magic carpets and communicating via radio) Hurry up, men, I'm running out of hard candy. Condition red, send in the clowns... oh, what's the use?! (breaks into hysterical sobbing as Crow and Joel enter)

Ah, man, Joel, he's totally off-script! There's nothing that says anything about sobbing like a broken man!

Yeah, you're right; let's see here... Tom says "Time formation, men. These kids are all over me; argh". It just says "Argh", there's nothing about sobbing pitifully.

(while still crying) I can't do it guys, I just can't do it! I can't go through another sketch loosely based off some vague reference in the movie! There are only a few kinds of fezes in this movie, then suddenly we're the Sahara Shriners riding flying carpets on Maxwell street days! Oh, why?!? Get me out of here!!

I don't understand; how is this sketch any different than anything else we do during the movie?

Well, I figure, Crow, it's not the sketch, it's this movie. I mean, look at him; he's just a broken man.

You're telling me! There's absolutely no psychological footholds in this movie! It's like trying to climb El Capitan! There's something wrong with me... there's something wrong with me!! Why? Why?!? (sobs uncontrollably)

Better you than me!

Oh, Crow, c'mon... (addresses Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank in disgust) Look at what you've done to him! Do you see what you've done to this guy?! Come on!

(watching the scene unfold in satisfaction alongside Frank) You see Frank, it feels good to be with the winners, doesn't it?

[as Fu Manchu reveals an unconscious man he wants Dr. Kessler to operate on]

KDr. Kessler

What's wrong with that man?

Nothing at all!

There is nothing wrong with him, doctor, he is in perfect physical condition.

I'll say.

And unlike Professor Heracles, his heart is as sound as a bell.

Bong!

Do you not agree, doctor, that Professor Heracles should have that splendid heart?

Joel [as Kessler] [flustered] Uh, if it comes with that beefy chest!

KDr. Kessler

But that man is not dead or dying!

He's only mostly dead!

... he will die, for the sake of science.

KDr. Kessler

And for your sake also.

I need Heracles to complete my plans. I need him alive, conscious, coherent.

I wish this MOVIE WERE CONSCIOUS AND COHERENT!!!

What's the deal with Fu Manchu, anyway? It's not like he's really evil; he's just dull! He's like some twisted beauracrat in silk jammies!

(after trying, and failing, to cheer the bots up with a sketch about the backstory of Fu Manchu; crying) Oh, what's the use?! Why am I up here? What are you doing to us?!

(mockingly) Auntie Em, Auntie Em!

(gloating over their perceived victory in leaving Joel and the bots broken by the movie) Well, we should be expecting your surrender any moment now.

You haven't won, Dr. Forrester; you've lost. And I feel sorry for you. You're nothing but a sad little man in a hole in the ground who can only feel power by hurting others. Well, we won because, we survived, and we survived because, well, we're Robinsons, roughly. That's what Robinsons do is survive, basically, and well, if you think it's so easy, well, YOU should try and watch a movie sometime!

You're sounding like a Hallmark card.

TSTV's Frank

(after Forrester and Frank attempt to riff on the movie themselves, only to quit after one scene) You know, we could've made funny comments, but the movie wasn't that good.

(angrily) Frank!

JCJoel, Crow, and Servo

Gotcha!

TSTV's Frank

[regarding how bad the movie this week is] Yeah; I thought the composting toilet had backed up- as it turns out, it's this week's experiment!

S3Master Ninja II

[Blubbering, thickheaded pseudo-heartthrob Max (Timothy Van Patten) attempts to converse with spunky union organizer Carrie.]

I'm here. Are you?

CCarrie

Yeah, I'm here. Oh Max, a long day.

I hear ya. [The camera lingers on Van Patten hopefully, as though awaiting a sharper quip. Nothing comes.]

SAServo [as Carrie]

You're a wry wit.

[Later, in Max's van, Carrie drones on and on while Max listens wearily.]

You know you're boring when you're boring a Van Patten.

[After Max tries and fails to flirt with a girl and she walks away]

MMcAlister

I'm not used to seeing them walk away from you.

Usually they run away screaming.

S3Daddy-O (movie)

[Hefty villain Sidney Chillas follows Sonny out of the bar.]

CACrow [as Chillas]

Nobody walks out on me. I'm Charles Foster Kane!

[Chillas is able to catch up with and run Sonny's car off the road.]

CACrow [as Chillas]

You see it doesn't matter how slow I go, I'll catch him; my son's the editor.

[As a couple of drug dealers are beating up Phil for information]

MIMan in Hat

Anything new to tell me?

SAServo [as Phil]

[straining] Rosebud, was a sled.

S3Earth vs. the Spider (movie)

CFCarol Flynn

I know something's happened to him.

MSMike Simpson

Sure it did. Maybe he ran out of gas, he'd never meet anybody on this road... hold everything, what do you call that?

SAServo [as Carol]

Oh, that's just a dead fa- a DEAD FATHER??? Oh nooo! [Sobbing]

CACrow [as Carol]

Oh my God!
