I played around with things so now people can once again post. I'm not overly happy with the template I've got right now but after playing around with a number of them I've decided I'm not really happy with any of them and that I should really but some effort into things and come up with my own (or at least mod one of the available templates). I'm pretty lazy and/or busy with other things though so I wouldn't be expecting that to happen too soonly.
I downloaded and watched the MST 3K episode Zombie Nightmare today. I was pretty excited going into the thing as I've never seen a zombie movie I didn't enjoy (that's not to say they were all good by any means but all zombie movies I've seen have been enjoyable on one level or another).
When I went into the directory the movie was in I noticed there were also 4 bumpers for the movie. That seemed very strange to me. 95% of the time when people encoded eps they leave the bumpers in and it seemed really odd for anyone to cut them out only to include them seperately.
Curious, I loaded the first one up and quickly realized these were not the ordinary bumpers. It seems that the episode first premiered at the end of a Turkey Day marathon on Comedy Central (presumably on Thanksgiving) and they had a host introducing the upcoming film. That host was none other than ADAM WEST!!!! And I'm guessing the reason they included the bumpers is because Adam West was in Zombie Nightmare. You know you're a geek when you get excited about Adam West being in a movie but I was quite excited.
In the movie Adam West played the cynical police captain guy. He had a mustache and in most of his scenes he was smoking a cigar and/or drinking. Sadly he never ran into Cheif O'Hara or Commissioner Gordon.
The movie (filmed in the 80s somewhere in Canada) had a couple of other notable appearances. The opening song was performed by Motorhead (probably best known for doing HHH's theme) and one of the young teens enduring the zombie nightmare was a 19 year-old Tia Carrere. Sadly she never really got a chance to show off her relic hunting skills.
On top of all that the gang included a good number of Batman references and one of the scenes even had Servo and Mike dressed as the Dynamic Duo. The whole thing was definitely a good way to spend 95 minutes. :)

I've decided to keep quoting from this character until someone puts together the character/source combination (or I get tired of waiting). That means that you can pick up 2 points if you get it now. (You'd think you'd pick up less points when needing more hints but whatever)

Okay, I'm sure that is ash, I was sure it was ash when there was no commenting, and I'm even more sure now
okay I've been told that I need a fancy-schmancy source for my answer, so here's my reasoning.
1)I don't recognize the quotes (even though they sound like Ash), not even remotely. So the movies are pretty much out.
2)That leaves the two games, "Hail to the King" and "Fistfull of Boomstick". I played Hail a tiny bit and don't remember the quote, but that only slightly leans me towards fist.
3)I know Trevor's played Fistfull, as we talked about it. I also doubt that he's played Hail as he doesn't have a dreamcast and I don't think runner has a copy of it.
So my guess it Fistfull of Boomstick. :P
And if I'm wrong, well... I just plain suck for typing sooo much.
