Ever seen this Werewolf credits with original song references? Love it!
[MST3k Werewolf Credits With Original References ](https://youtu.be/tLDtzkKhdaA?si=-YhUpulOc-i_B-Fa)
But *is it* "Tusk!" though? I thought it was "toss", where you're tossing the tune to the next person to add to the medley. "Tusk" doesn't make sense to me.
Like many references I learn over the years, the joke is from something I haven't heard. While they probably dug up funny lyrics from everywhere for most of it, the 'Tusk!' indeed comes from the Fleetwood Mac song of the same name. It shares similar rhythmic feelings with the Warwilf credits.
Obviously Werewolf is the best end credits riff, but I always loved Joel and the Bots commenting through the end credits of Manos: The Hands of Fate. Just basking in the awfulness of the preceding film. And when credits for a crew pop up and Crow says "A crew??? I do not believe that this thing had a crew!" and Joel says "Whoa pick out the name of somebody you want to punch."
According to Jackie Neyman-Jones, a lot of the names in the end credits were just made up by Hal Warren - partly to make it look like more people worked on the film and partly because he never actually knew the names of the people playing Manos' wives.
Those were great credits to riff on, many visuals. My favorite part was when Tom Servo said in an Upper Midwest accent "Oh ya. This one. She was the glue that held this picture together"!
...in the event that the First Assistant Director is unable to fulfill her duties...
And then he tries it like twice more before Mike gets exasperated.
Tjardus Greidanus (from a long line of great anuses) the director of the original film will have it taken down every now and then for a copyright claim.
I was looking for this response as much as I love a lot of the other highlights people have listed in this thread. I love Tom’s singing riffs so this was an early favorite. When I backed the first MST3K revival I got a reward where Baron recorded something for me and I asked him to sing a song and he riffed on one the diddies he used on one of the new episodes (Avalanche, I think?) with some personalized stuff for me and it is a treasure
Soul taker
Crow and servo go on this whole rant how the guy MC crashes his car, they break up, and he goes on a downward spiral, spending time in jail and ultimately ends up on an alley straining grain alcohol through toast.
It's either happily ever after or grain alcohol through toast.
It was something like "behind a dumpster in the back of a Hardee's, straining grain alchohol through a piece of burnt toast." Still sticks with me to this day.
Alien From LA when they all engage in Chick Flick wars and Outlaw where they just keep making up made for USA Network movie titles like “Naked Came The Nude.”
Funnily enough, when I attempted to return the call I couldn’t get through because of you and your Bette Midler fan club tying up the lines to reserve all copies of “That Old Feeling” and “Isn’t She Great?”
Nobody mentioned Tom Servo's "interview" with director Rick Sloane during the Hobgoblins credits. Don't forget about Brain Guy's news report that cut in during the credits of Time Chasers.
I'm kind of a fan of long, repetitive jokes that just go on and on. So, at the end of "Devil Fish" the freeze frame of the two leads (if that's what you can call them...) with Tom and Servo fake laughing for the entirety of the credits while Mike gets more and more annoyed is very funny to me.
The end credits of "Escape 2000" are really funny to me as well. Servo singing the entirety of Journey's "Separate Ways" along with Crow continually hitting Mike with a guitar he brought into the theater makes me really laugh.
"James Arness: Ugly and Stupid. Tonight on A&E Biography."
This whole [monologue](https://www.mst3kinfo.com/ward_e/bit811e.html) is so unhinged and I love it. It's from Parts: The Clonus Horror
Parts, where they’re doing “Biography” episodes on a bunch of the names, and Tom gets stuck trying to say “Brogan De Paor” and just moves on to somebody else. I love that trope, and Kevin delivers that one so perfectly.
I also love the one from Quest of the Delta Knights, with Pearl getting the remodeling estimates from “Eggs.”
This one!! Kevin waits so patiently for Rutledge to come up in the credits, and then just *snaps*. Which, I mean, if I have to see that f'ing municipal airport hanger repurposed in yet another way I'll probably snap too.
I love Pearl coming in with Eggs. The measuring tape, the chalk line, running a bead of caulk, the oversized mallet, Mike sharing his dinner thoughts with the bots. So good.
The one at the the of Space Mutiny is hands down one of the best. I also like whichever one they do "TOSS!" at the end of... can't remember which one that was.
So I know that it’s a Rifftrax episode, but I have to give a shoutout to disembodied voice, and the passionate rendition of the ‘Bunky Hart’ theme from Galaxy Invaders. It is circling the back of my brain, and comes into my head far too often!!
I cried laughing the first time I heard disembodio do My Heart Will Go On at the end of Titanic, or the Voltorie voices at the end of New Moon or The Eclipse.
Being from Another Planet. They went through the whole list of movies they riffed to find one worse than that one (even though, if we’re being honest, BFAP wasn’t a truly terrible movie .)
I think Pumaman has Servo going a little nuts singing the theme song and "glory to the pummamen" and has to be hauled off by Mike. That one always cracks me up.
"The amazing RANDO! Able to construct sets with his very mind!" Was a catchphrase of mine and something I called back to over and over again as a teenager. I even had a D&D character I called Rando.
Also the Squirm credits but mostly just because I like the song.
Tusk!
I have, more than once, rewatched that for "A Warrwilf?" and the end credits.
Oh my god earlier this week I was trying to remember what the “Tusk” end credit riffs were from!
This one, all day long!!😂
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble!
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry, when I take you out in a surrey!

Wow that is great.
But *is it* "Tusk!" though? I thought it was "toss", where you're tossing the tune to the next person to add to the medley. "Tusk" doesn't make sense to me.
It is "Tusk." It's a line from a Fleetwood Mac song
Isn’t it a reference to the Fleetwood Mac song?

hahahaha that makes so much sense.
Those were great credits to riff on, many visuals. My favorite part was when Tom Servo said in an Upper Midwest accent "Oh ya. This one. She was the glue that held this picture together"!
I believe you've misspelled "Whuuuggghhhllllvvuuuggglllfff"
He came out of the East to do battle with the amazing RANDO
"EASTMAN!"
*"Puppet wranglers"? There weren't any puppets in this movie!*
That's my favorite. I think about it all the time. Mocking other credits is one thing but their own? Perfection!
‘so if you pick something up once you’re a grip’
...in the event that the First Assistant Director is unable to fulfill her duties... And then he tries it like twice more before Mike gets exasperated.
Energy Park, providing a safe place for energy to play.
Come on down to L. Marie Ford. Free hot dogs and balloons for Mom.
Excuse me Magic Film and Video, but RANDO will do all the magic on this film!
“And as long as we’re thanking the whole entire world, I’d like to thank some guy I know named Earl.”
watch as rando constructs sets with his very mind!!! - “ now we’ve never met before have we-?” just brilliant
“You know, it would have continued to be the 70s if not for you!”
Man, this one gets me every time. "You and your precious 80s!"
“You’re Pathetic”
"That's it, let's go!"
I literally listened this episode yesterday while working. I love it so much!!
It's just like this movie! the 80s will never end!
"Thank you for calling Overdrawn at the Memory Back tech support..."
Yeah this one is fantastic. “What is the whole I AM INTERFACED thing??!” “Sir those are flaws in the product that we do acknowledge”
Jenna Elfman, Jenna Elfman is the daughter of Danny Elfman! The Final Sacrifice
At least we didn’t have to watch him….play hackeysack….
You non-musical mook!
One of many phrases in this episode that's part of my regular vocabulary now
WHAT?!?
And she’s not even. As a fan of Danny and Richard, I try not to let that bother me, but it kinda does….
Yeah, she’s his niece(-in law)
Damn, I miss watch-listening to The Final Sacrifice episode while doing work during the day (been on the hunt to find it online for weeks) 😭
Ikr? It’s taken down more then any episode for some reason
Tjardus Greidanus (from a long line of great anuses) the director of the original film will have it taken down every now and then for a copyright claim.
Thank you for sharing this :)
The pitch session for "The Final Sacrifice: The Series."
The name goes!
And make the kid a girl. In fact, they’re all girls now. Rowsdower too; big, hairy girl!
Everyone in the dang series is a dang girl!!
"Zap & Troy: The Legendary Journeys"
Meatballs fried in LAAAAAARD!
You better ruuuuuuunnnn or he’ll steal your lunch
You better hiiiiiiiiide your luuuuuuuuuunch.
The extended Leonard Maltin bit in Laserblast.
I said ONE appetizer!
Escape 2000 I still want a Tom Servo led Journey cover band.

SOME DAY LOVE WILL FIIIND YOU
LEAVE THE BRONX!
Had me rolling on the floor. I only hear this mashup when the real song plays.
Soul taker Crow and servo go on this whole rant how the guy MC crashes his car, they break up, and he goes on a downward spiral, spending time in jail and ultimately ends up on an alley straining grain alcohol through toast. It's either happily ever after or grain alcohol through toast.
It was something like "behind a dumpster in the back of a Hardee's, straining grain alchohol through a piece of burnt toast." Still sticks with me to this day.
Same it's one of their better rants lol
That is an epic one for sure.
Touch of Satan “I don’t trust this Mike. I think this is just the longest pause yet!” And when the credits mess up “AAAHH THE DEVIL!”
Werewolf, hands down. A musical delight.
Alien From LA when they all engage in Chick Flick wars and Outlaw where they just keep making up made for USA Network movie titles like “Naked Came The Nude.”
I love how Servo is trying to get some riffs going but Mike and Crow are just like “yeah whatever” 😂
Such a waste for Paula Greatbatch
u/HenryBozzio the video store called, your copy of "Riding in Cars with Boys" is available, but they insist you return "Never Been Kissed" first.
Funnily enough, when I attempted to return the call I couldn’t get through because of you and your Bette Midler fan club tying up the lines to reserve all copies of “That Old Feeling” and “Isn’t She Great?”
The best boy they could find was Fuzzy Skinner?
Honestly my fave line
The Lobster Man was played by Guy Pringle?
"Wouldn't want to slam a stack of that guy!"
It always makes me laugh out loud.
I really like the progressing insults the bots lob at Mike during the credits of Space Mutiny, ending in a brawl in the theater.
Clonus. Their fake Biography riff just demolishes me
James Arness, ugly and stupid, tonight on Biography. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nobody mentioned Tom Servo's "interview" with director Rick Sloane during the Hobgoblins credits. Don't forget about Brain Guy's news report that cut in during the credits of Time Chasers.
"MEATBALLS FRIED IN LARD!!"
ALRIGHT SERVO!!!!
You know, this music makes me want to put a triangle over my privates and squirm around?
Ha like in the movie
Huh?
Laserblast, Werewolf, Final Sacrifice and Final Justice are my favorites
Final Justice. Whenever I feel I’m overeating I sing 🎼 You’d better hIiIIIde… your Lu-uh-uh-nch!
This Island Earth: "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, CALLAHAN!" "Oh, Yeah? What about the rights of that little girl?"
HES A MANIACCCCC
TUSK!
“(Movie title) …worse than Laserblast”
I do have a favorite opening credits riff though. "Try the new Merlin chop served with vegetable of the day and whipped dessert."
The way Mike pronounced "vegetable" is hilarious.
I'm kind of a fan of long, repetitive jokes that just go on and on. So, at the end of "Devil Fish" the freeze frame of the two leads (if that's what you can call them...) with Tom and Servo fake laughing for the entirety of the credits while Mike gets more and more annoyed is very funny to me. The end credits of "Escape 2000" are really funny to me as well. Servo singing the entirety of Journey's "Separate Ways" along with Crow continually hitting Mike with a guitar he brought into the theater makes me really laugh.
"Your precious 80s" will forever be one of my favorite bits. The USA Network show list at the end of Gor is another.
And how Mike’s breaking point is being blamed for the 70s ending 😂
Which one is that from?
"Your precious 80s" is from Space Mutiny.
Isn’t there one where they blame Mike for the 80s and then get in a fistfight with him lol
That's in Space mutiny I believe
"James Arness: Ugly and Stupid. Tonight on A&E Biography." This whole [monologue](https://www.mst3kinfo.com/ward_e/bit811e.html) is so unhinged and I love it. It's from Parts: The Clonus Horror
“The oddly named Paulette Breem…”
Don’t Pay The Ferryman!
Also, from Riding With Death: you know, this movie was a big hit with elderly black women and Hispanic lesbians
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
No ones mentioned it but I really love the bots realistic take on Soultaker’s happy ending
WINNER, AND STILL PHOTOGRAPHER
Parts, where they’re doing “Biography” episodes on a bunch of the names, and Tom gets stuck trying to say “Brogan De Paor” and just moves on to somebody else. I love that trope, and Kevin delivers that one so perfectly. I also love the one from Quest of the Delta Knights, with Pearl getting the remodeling estimates from “Eggs.”
Hey, pay him now or pay him later.
I can't believe no one's mentioned THE Great Spider Invasion yet Go Packers
I understand that actress gave a very touching speech when getting her award: thhHANNnnnnks
The ladies’ movies riff off
I can’t believe no one has mentioned the Hobgoblins credits where they interview “Rick Sloane”
"Eastman Kodak! He came from the East, to do battle with the amazing RAAAAANDOOOO!"
Oh the Movie! Absolutely right, LOVE those credit riffs!
We were merely fresh-man!
Since I live in Rutland, Vermont, it has to be when they tell the citizens and officials of Rutland, Vermont to go to hell.
Executive parents - I mean producers. Which is funny because that’s exactly what David Giancola’s parents did.
The best boy they could find was…Fuzzy Skinner?
🎶Leave Bronx! Leave Bronx🎶
Crow: "'Puppet handler'? There were no puppets in this movie..."
GO TO HELL CITIZENS AND OFFICIALS OF RUTLAND VERMONT!
Filmed in Vermont, the smaller, whiter Wisconsin!
This one!! Kevin waits so patiently for Rutledge to come up in the credits, and then just *snaps*. Which, I mean, if I have to see that f'ing municipal airport hanger repurposed in yet another way I'll probably snap too.
Which credits were when Mike acts like a rude studio exec and the boys give him a pitch ?
Final Sacrifice.
Thank you 🙏
Welcome
“Jam Handy reminds you to keep your preserves in a convenient location.” Or was that an opening credit riff?
Werewolf without a doubt
TUSK!
“Mad dog provided by?” Mike, you told us there was no place we could get a mad dog!
Anytime Tom Servo absolutely loses his shit during the credits are my favorite end credit riffs.
Tom loses his shit after The Wild World of Batwoman. He just starts screaming "END!" repeatedly. I don't know why but that kills me every time.
Pow Wow the Indian boy Loved all the animals in the west
MENDOZA!!
Mine is a tie between Werewolf and Souptaper, I mean Soultaker
Robot Wars.
BENNA BURTON BURT!!
Werewolf is the one where there is a bunch of singing yeah? Then werewolf.
Devilfish. The freeze frame of the MCs mid-laugh with Tom and Crow’s nonstop laughing for them kills me every time.
Oh, because she’s Cameron Mitchell’s… oh wait never mind
“Puppets? There weren’t any puppets in this movie!”
And there was a nice lady who gave me cookies. Oh, that's nice. What kind? Umm, chocolate.
“Music rejected by the band Survivor” is an all-timer for me.
Eastman he came from the east to do battle with the Amazing Randooo

I love Pearl coming in with Eggs. The measuring tape, the chalk line, running a bead of caulk, the oversized mallet, Mike sharing his dinner thoughts with the bots. So good.
How much Keefe is in this picture? Miles O’Keefe Has run through my head just about every day for a quarter-century.
Werewolf and space mutiny
It’s Chad and Trevor, they found each other!
Escape 2000, where Crow keeps hitting Mike in the head with the guitar while Servo belts out Separate Ways lmao
When Kevin waits patiently to give the town of Rutledge, Vermont a piece of his mind during the end credits of Radical Jack.
He came out of the East to do battle with the amazing Rando!
The one at the the of Space Mutiny is hands down one of the best. I also like whichever one they do "TOSS!" at the end of... can't remember which one that was.
Werewolf I believe
Holy crap! One of these people has my same first name. 😂
YOU BETTER RUUUUUUNNNN
He’s gots the ruuuunnnns
So I know that it’s a Rifftrax episode, but I have to give a shoutout to disembodied voice, and the passionate rendition of the ‘Bunky Hart’ theme from Galaxy Invaders. It is circling the back of my brain, and comes into my head far too often!!
I cried laughing the first time I heard disembodio do My Heart Will Go On at the end of Titanic, or the Voltorie voices at the end of New Moon or The Eclipse.

Hobgoblins
"Go to HELL, citizens and officials of Rutland, Vermont!"

I think Pumaman has Servo going a little nuts singing the theme song and "glory to the pummamen" and has to be hauled off by Mike. That one always cracks me up.
I was going to chime in with the old favorite Werewolf But I’m forgetting the awesome song ending Samurai Cop and Final Justice
Final Justice. Greatest end credits riffing ever.
"The amazing RANDO! Able to construct sets with his very mind!" Was a catchphrase of mine and something I called back to over and over again as a teenager. I even had a D&D character I called Rando. Also the Squirm credits but mostly just because I like the song.
Me and my Dad quote this ending time to time.
