- Quotes
Dr. Forrester: Ah! Robinson, Servo, Mr. T. Robot! Our invention this week is inspired by this week's experiment, "Attack of the Giant Leeches". In ye olden times, alchemists believed that leeches served medicinal purposes.
TV's Frank: So do we!
Dr. Forrester: Uh, yes um, we found that the common fresh water leech uh, can serve the same purpose as a nicotine patch, and being neither food nor drug, there's no pesky FDA regulation to impede your progress and I can experiment at will. Frank?
TV's Frank: At your service.
Dr. Forrester: Our subject, Frank, has been trying to quit smoking for quite some time. He's a three pack-a-day man.
TV's Frank: No I'm not!
Dr. Forrester: Yes you are, shut up. Now this leech, we'll call him Patches...
TV's Frank: Yah!
Dr. Forrester: When applied to the neck or head area, will suck any desire to smoke out of Frank.
TV's Frank: No, no, no, no! No! No! No, I'm the sum of my vices! I have my pain, my happiness, my losses, my love! My struggles, my hobbies, my lent! I want to live! I want to live! I want to live! And love! And learn! And live!
Dr. Forrester: But this won't hurt a bit.
TV's Frank: Oh, Ok.
Dr. Forrester: Uh, there you go. Now, Patches, I'm depending on you, ya slug!
TV's Frank: Say, this is the most action I've ever got.

- ConnectionsFeatures Undersea Kingdom (1936)
It was a serial called "The Undersea Kingdom" and they even used the Stinger at the end for it, although it had no dialogue. The best riffs during that part were probably, "They're shooting hot dogs at them!" and "I hate it when they talk during the mov-Oh". The sketch where they're rednecks or hillbillies or whatever is really funny too. It's just great to have these guys constantly riff on these stereotypes' stupidity. The movie had great joke after great joke as expected from this show. I love the bit where they talk about Michael Nesmith and how his mom invented liquid paper. Yes, that's true, look it up! I'm such a dork to get all these references.
Anything with the main character riffs was great. One of the best was when he said, "He wasn't shot" followed by "He was beaten by clowns". One of the first big laughs was a guy saying, "Who wears the pants here?" followed by "Who wears the stupid looking hat?". Sometimes it's even hard to say why I love these lines so much. I guess it just doesn't take much to entertain me. Oh and "Don't joke about that" followed by "You're bad at telling them". You can't remember all of them as they're all classics. ****
