If there is already a "You Know You're Addicted Thread" around here that I missed, I humbly and pre-emptively accept my grisly punishment for duplicating it. Now then...
You Know You're Addicted To MST3K When...
...you start riffing at your workplace.
I bus tables at Mellow Mushroom, a bar and pizza restaurant, and over the past few weeks, I have found myself riffing on routine occurrences at work. It's way more fun than complaining and wishing I could go home.
Examples from today:
Coworker 1: (about a party of 12 who's about to walk out and leave us to deal the mess of the century) Here they come...
Me: "Walking down the street, they get the funniest looks from everyone they meet..."
Coworker: 0_o
Coworker 2: (freaks out over an anchovy stuck to her arm)
Me: I AM AN ANCHOVY LOVE MEEEEE
Coworker 2: LOL
Coworker 1: I can't eat the cookies, they have 400 calories and they might not be vegan.
Me: Also, they were baked in the kitchens of Satan, and they look like dish sponges. So...
Coworker 1: 0_o

I publicly riff mainstream movies in the movie theater. I got scolded by a soccer mom for riffing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
I told this to my friends that if I want to get new puppy, I would name it after one of the bots.
I did some work-riffing too, at my old job, I work at very upscale mall, I riff on the snooty customers in my head.
Now as a teacher's aid in a affluent middle school, I riff on the annoying students and snooty parents in my head.

The second time we saw "Tangled," we had the theater to ourselves, so my sister and I had a grand time riffing it (even though we both loved that movie).
Riffers, as it turns out, can be found anywhere. Last month, in between classes, I went to Coffeeology, an awesome little coffee and gelato shop on the edge of campus. They have this huge, gorgeous flat TV, and today, they were playing "They Made Me a Criminal." The sound was off, but closed captioning was turned on. This led to me watching the movie, which led to me riffing the movie. The reaction I got from these two guys at a nearby table surprised me. After listening to me for a couple minutes, they started riffing, too. They didn't join me, they were just doing it amongst themselves, but it was still pretty surprising. One of them was really funny, too. We never introduced ourselves - they left before I did, but still. XD That was an awesome day.

Well, I play the game Paradise Life on Facebook. In the game, you can get a spouse (as well as design them & determine gender).....WELL! MY spouse is sweet and boyish and sleepy-eyed and goateed and GROOVY.... JOELIE! Yep! I "married" Joel, we live on a tropical island....with our "daughter"..... Neela.I wish they had a "Poly" feature....I'd have Joel AND Mike!  Oh, I also riff stuff on TV & whatnot! I also add riffs to MST3K shows...riffing with J/M&TBs AND even riffing on THEM & their actions, antics & choice of riffs and such during the movie segments & host segments!....Which is really "Meta" and really weird....which results in creativity! |

...you Fall Asleep to MST3K Every NightThis is actually my bedtime routine! I pick an episode I've seen a million times on the Netflix streaming app for my iPod, dock it in the iHome speakers, and fall asleep to Joel and the Bots riffing away! It works like magic. I'm usually asleep right after the second host segment...so about a half-hour in.

I'd pick an episode where Joel is especially "chill" or "stoned" rather than one where he's unsually loud, whiny or goofy. |

Falling asleep during a Joel episode and hearing his voice (swoon) |

I forgot to add a few things...
RINGTONES!
I add all versions of the theme songs along with the Torgo Theme and the Creeping Terror Dance Hall theme as my friends' ringtones.
Also, I made a custom tee that says "TEAM JOIKE" on the front. I'm a fan of both hosts (and I love the thought of them being all slashy).
Finally, I sold a quarter of my manga (Japanese graphic novels) collection to a used book/record store so I buy MST3K Volume 25 with a few dollars off.

...you're friends with Torgo on Facebook.
Seriously. There's a guy on Facebook that's "Torgo," and I friended him. XD
...you say "Right in the Winky!" whenever you see a guy get hit in the crotch.
I was watching Little Shop of Horrors, and when Rick Moranis got punched (via the Plant's vine) uh...down there, I said that.
...your comeback is always "Bite Me!"
Self-explanatory.

Now that's dedication! ...you draw a shadowrama and write snarky comments at the bottom of class handouts.I did this and then had to share my literature notes with a classmate, who was very curious about the silhouettes and why I had written above it, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that you have died of dysentery." |

I did that in 7th grade when my class read The Call of the Wild...I hated that book, and riffed the hell out of it. XD |

When you name your inanimate objects after mst3kYes i do that. I named my ipod TV's Frank, my synthesizer Dr.Clayton Forrester, my laptop McCloud (if you have seen Pod People than you will know why lol) and my wig stand Joel. When you turn in your paper and your teacher whats you to change some thing. You reply back "Ok but its the Bible"Yes i have done that once thank you crow.

I want to try that now. ...when "Satellite of Love" by Lou Reed tops your 25 Most Played list in iTunes....whenever you see anyone wearing the color pink, you say, "We're doomed!"...when you're thrilled that your boss's name is Clayton.And, in my case, disappointed that he's a very nice, down-to-earth guy instead of a mad scientist. |

...when you reply with "Here I go, vroom" whenever someone asks you to do something, but you're moving rather slowly.
...when you make up a fan-character for MST3K, and then go on to write 20+ chapters of a fanfic about her.
I think I love Sylvia as much as she loves Dr. F.
...whenever you see one of those "Clayton" construction signs, your first thought is Dr. Forrester.
...that carpet commercial for "Beaulieu Flooring" makes you smile.

The automatic stop announcements on the city buses sound just like Mary Jo Pehl as Magic Voice, so I've decided to call it Magic Voice. Bus: "Aycock Street and Spring Garden Street, UNC-Greensboro. Route 1, West Wendover Avenue. Please have your fare ready before boarding the bus." Me: "Thanks, Magic Voice!" |
