The MST3K Catch Phrase Catalog

Created by a Cast of Usenet Thousands

Updated May 21st, 1997

Compiled by Harold Henry Chaput

Here is the latest version of the MST3K Catch Phrase Catalog. I have added the catch phrases suggested to me via email or news. If you know of any catch phrases that are not on this list, please let me know.

A "catch phrase" is a phrase that is repeated in more than one episode of MST3K with no significant content alterations. By these rules, running gags internal to a single show (e.g., "James Arness... I mean Peter Graves!" from _It Conquered the World_) and volatile context- based phrase changes (e.g., "Jim Henson's Ghandi Babies", "This week on 'Tormented'", etc.) are disqualified. A good rule of thumb: if you can use the phase in several conversations without changing it at all, it's probably a good catch phrase. (Test this rule at your own risk!)

Also, quotes here are listed as they "appear" in MST3K, and not necessarily in their original form. The reason is that I intend this to be a Catch Phrase Catalog, not a Catch Phrase Sources Catalog.

The list is alphabetized for use with the MST3K Drinking Game.

Enjoy.

I just wanted to take this time to thank the following contributors:
