A good guideline for adding quotes here is to limit them to ones that communicate their humor through the text itself, with a minimum of context. Much of the humor in Mystery Science Theater 3000 comes from visual or sound sources that cannot be adequately communicated through a text quote page. (Some older browsers don't provide this feature or have it disabled, in which case you can still see the title as a URL in your browser's status bar.) As you pause your mouse over each box in the table, the title of the episode, short, or special will pop up in a tooltip. You can browse these quotes by scrolling through the page, looking for a specific title using your browser's Find or Search feature, or click on a numbered link in the table of contents. (See Notes below for help on using this page.) There are 198 movies, 60 shorts, and 4 specials in the MST3K canon. Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988–1999 2017–2018 2022–) is an American TV show that mocks bad movies by riffing on their strange characters, absurd settings, and silly plot twists, interspersing erudite cultural quips with schoolboy jokes and general zaniness.
