""Non intelligo, curnam putas mirum non esse?""

""CAN YOU FEEL THE BONE-CHILLING HORROR AS HE CHANGES HIS RAT'S SAWDUST!?""

""No one will be admitted during the breathtaking car-parking sequence!""

- Crow T. Robot, Mystery Science Theater 3000'

""That fatal flaw in high-tech-based movies is the critical scene when the guy works on the computer. In Swordfish, they actually tried to make it look cool with a fast-paced jump-cut montage of [Hugh Jackman] as he programs to very loud DJ mixes. Dress it up and make it dance, but it's still a guy on a computer.""

- Kevin Murphy, A Year at the Movies.

""When I was in my early twenties on a trip to East Africa, I saw a gazelle giving birth. It was truly amazing. Within minutes, the baby was standing up-- standing up on its own. A few more minutes, and it was walking. And before I knew it it was running alongside its mother, moving away with the herd. Humans aren't like that, Ambassador. We may come from the same planet, but we're pretty much helpless when we're born. It takes us months before we're able to crawl, almost a full year before we can walk. Our deep space mission isn't much different. We're going to stumble, make mistakes. I'm sure more than a few before we find our footing. But we're going to learn from those mistakes. That's what being human is all about. I'm sorry you can't see that.""

- Captain Archer, Enterprise

""Everything in “Quest for Fire” is writ large, but doesn’t quite deserve to be. That disconnect places the song pretty high on the unintentional comedy scale, but that’s also what makes it so entertaining.""

- Top One Million, review of Iron Maiden's "Quest for Fire"

""He made that scene last, what, five minutes? And all we do is stand there and stare at each other with the music blaring on the soundtrack. It's one of the most impressive scenes I've ever seen, let alone been involved in.""

- Lee Van Cleef on the climax of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

""This concern with embellishing reality is undoubtedly a sign of pride; but then, how one wishes sometimes that writers had a little more pride! And besides, isn't there more pride (and a lot more silliness too) in the way some authors tell the most insignificant events of their lives exactly the way they happened, naively convinced as they are that everything they have experienced is, because of this alone, full of interest and poetry?""

- René Pommier in his analysis of the last lines of Chateaubriand's Mémoires d'Outre-Tombe

""EPIC MUSIC. Seriously, you're talking about videogames. If you're going to use ridiculous music then you might as well act enthused so it matches.""

- ChipCheezum, one of criticisms of a video he Retsupuraed

""Who wants PIZZA ROLLS?!" [theme music begins blaring]"

- Doctor Orpheus, The Venture Brothers

""Quiet, son! I'm making... *large field of electricity crackles* toast!""

- Professor Membrane, Invader Zim

""You know something bad's about to happen when the slow-motion grocery carrying kicks in.""

- Obscurus Lupa on Lady Dragon 2

""Normal View!

Normal View!

Normal View!

NORMAL VIEW!!""

- Mystery Science Theater 3000, This Island Earth

"''"Somehow, at her reduced scale, with all of her newfound focus, the subtle nuances of the strings straightening, spinning out into faintly new shapes took on a new significance once Mikuru showed her how to do it. A collection of crystals, various powdered substances, some proteins... And then it was transformed through a careful, deliberate process into a new shape, placed intentionally where it would be exposed to higher energies...

At the end of this process, Mikuru had transformed things into cookies, through some amazing, slow, medium-scale fusion that Kuyou was delighted to analyze the intricacies of. She could spend millions of rotations examining it and its nuances, at least!""

- Kyon: Big Damn Hero

""Once you hear this song

Dogs become wolves

House cats become lions

Salamanders become dragons

And everything you do decides the fate of the world""

"*gaaaasp*

Holy shit! What is this?! Forged in God's very flames,

Do mine eyes tell me lies, a new Elder Scrolls game?!

Time is nigh, I must fly, venture forth on my quest!

Goodbye Ma, goodbye Pa, and goodbye Girlfriend's breasts.

I'll be off, Azeroth, catch you later, Hyrule,

I'll be gone, Albion, I'm no longer your fool!

Other crap filled the gap while I waited to begin...

The adventure of my life in the land of Skyrim!!"

- Harry Partridge, Skyrim
