Mystery Science Theater 3000

Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988?1999), usually abbreviated MST3K, is a cult television comedy series created by Joel Hodgson featuring a man and his robot sidekicks supposedly trapped on a satellite in space and forced to make fun of particularly bad movies. Series creator Hodgson originally played the stranded man, Joel Robinson. When he left in 1995, series head writer Michael J. Nelson replaced him as new B-movie victim Mike Nelson, giving the show a somewhat different approach.

Quotes

Most of the humor in MST3K episodes comes from quotable quips that the S.O.L. crew insert into the dialog and scenes of the movies they mock, as well as clever riffing during the "host segments". A much larger sample of notable MST3K quotes is available on .
