Servo: Ya lousy, stinkin' francophonic bacon-lovin' bastards!

I love that line.

The "Hell Works in Subtle Ways" sketch from EEGAH!

JOEL: Hell works better when it's a lot more subtle. Here, I'll give you an example. Okay, Crow, what do you think of Adolf Hitler?
CROW: Well, I hate him, naturally.
JOEL: Right. Now, what do you think of the band Styx?
CROW: Well, they had one or two decent...Oh my God, you're right!

***

TOM: Joel, what chance do we have in a world that keeps presenting us with vivid images of Hell?
JOEL: Well, there's personal liberty, strength of conviction, those have been known to work... Then there's the time the country rallies together to beat back Hell, like the time we as a nation said "no" to Yahoo Serious.

Trust me, that last bit is hilarious if you remember Yahoo Serious...

Crow's lovable catchphrase from the beginning of Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. "You know you want me, baby!"

Starts at about 1:30

The Public Pearl pledge drive is great too.

Samson vs. the Vampire Women - Frank is taken to Second Banana Heaven by Torgo the White.

[Rev. Powell]

All the segments in MITCHELL were aces.  I particularly like the 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY reference where Gypsy plays HAL.

Also, in the beginning when Frank & Dr. F are rummaging through old boxes, they find Dr. F's old "Evilos" project: he sewed the butt of a dog onto the butt of a cat.

  I think it was during Laserblast that Mike dressed up like Kate Mulgrew in Star Trek Voyager and started barking orders to help the ship escape from a black hole. It was hilarious and just a little disturbing.

[Rev. Powell]

Mary Jo's appearance as Jan in the Pan in THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE.  It gives us closure on a beloved film character.  It's nice to know that she finally came to terms with her decapitation, got over that whole "wanting to die" phase, and found fulfilling work as a doorstop. 

[Rev. Powell]

The "Swing Choir" segment from SKYDIVERS.  Like most people I'd never heard of a "swing choir."

But it's preceded by one of my favorite little absurd throwaway sketches.  Frank greets Mike & the Bots:

FRANK: "Hey, Nelstone.  I call you that 'cause you are so stoned.  You are so high.  You wake and bake every morning, man.  You..."
DR. F: "Frank!  What are you doing!"
FRANK: "I... really don't know."

Just watched The Amazing Transparent Man episode, where Dr. Forrester and "Auntie McFrank" open a bed and breakfast. Cracked up at the "local colour" provided by Mike and the bots.

I love how they bring in all these characters from other experiments.

Codename: Diamondhead - Magic Voice teaches the bots to appreciate Mike by showing them some alternatives.

I forget which episode, but "Earth Versus Soup"

Imagine the terror of soup crawling toward you on all fours.
