Riffs for Other Nicktoons
After my initial success for getting Rugrats riffed (check below for the link), I decided to see if other people would riff other Nicktoons. Guess what, I got some riffs (and even a few full-fledged MSTings). I'm presenting them here.
"Some riffs" for a program are pretty useless unless the program is on or has been transcribed so that people don't have to watch it to get some sort of context for the riffs. -- Anataeus Feldspar, in a reply to Jesse Shearer's post on Hey Arnold riffs on the MST3K newsgroup.
Well, I'm presenting them anyway. If you wanna add to my little page, just email me.

Hey Arnold!
Riffs
All the text riffs are by Jesse Shearer. And you know your idea's in trouble when only one person's agreeing to doing it.
Spelling Bee
Helga's dad Big Bob (Maurice LaMarche) saves one space for her (Francesca Marie Smith) on the trophy stand: "Oh, gee, Dad. That was so kind of you..."
Background info: Helga is the school bully on the show... but she has a soft spot for Football Head, as she refers to Arnold (Toran Caudell... he's been voiced by others, so I'll point out when necessary) because his head is shaped like a football. Her older sis (Nika Frost) has won lots of trophies, and, well, let's just say her dad gets along better with sis than her.
Helga's dad gives her a pep talk before the spelling bee; altered lines: "All the other kids have studied. You haven't. We all know the outcome of this."
The actual bee: Are these all real words, or am I just hearing some of them wrong?
Seymour Stump: If I heard that right, I could come up with a dirty joke or two.
Helga's dad tries to bribe Arnold to throw the spelling bee: Hey, what does he think this is? The WWF, or something?
Helga lets Arnold win: Helga throws the fight! Helga throws the fight! Helga throws the fight! ...

Pigeon Man
Chester the Pigeon takes off with the note for Gerald (Jamil W. Smith): Hey, it looks like Chester's been drinking again!
Chester the Pigeon crashes: He's dead, Jim!
After the Legend of Pigeonman (Vincent Schiavelli) is told: Oh, yeah. He can really help.
Arnold (Caudell) visits Pigeonman with Chester the Pigeon:

Arnold (paraphrase): He's sick.
Me, as Pigeonman (Groucho Marx style): He does look a little under the weather. About six feet under, to be exact.

Pigeonman gives Arnold the remedy for his bird: Is he Pigeonman or Dr. Phlox? (Enterprise ref.)
Arnold's friends go to mess with Pigeonman's stuff: It's so hard to understand why Pigeonman doesn't trust people...
The ending: OK, so we switch from Home Alone 2 to Darkman in about three seconds here.
Explanation by Jesse (who else?): "In Home Alone 2, Macauley Culkin's character befriends a homeless lady who's only friends are pigeons, like what Arnold's doing with the guy in this short. And I believe it was the at end of Darkman (starring Liam Neeson), the lead character gives a monologue to his wife where he says that he'll be wherever someone needs rescuing or there is danger and that sorta thing. The pigeon guy in the short did something similar."
And having seen this ep, I can confirm that this is indeed the case.

It Girl
Oh, no, not an Addams Family crossover. But then again, that's every episode.
The teacher Mr. Simmons (Dan Butler) announces the coming of fashion designer Johnny Stitches (Michael McKean): Why do they want to give him a horror show?
Helga complains about how she thinks modeling is just some freak show: She'll fit right in.
Helga, about models being airheads: If she wasn't qualified before, now she is for sure.
The designer gives Helga the job: We all saw that coming, unfortunately.
The modeling instructor at the agency: Is she wearing anything besides that boa above the waist?
Helga's style takes over en masse: Either we've been thrust onboard a Borg Cube or this is Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
Helga's attitude stays the same when she becomes famous: Yeah, Helga's a born fashion model.
Helga threatens to be as bad as she can: For her, that's what the rest of us call *being nice*.
Helga goes nice on stage and really throws the crowd: Oh, can we just end this homage to *Zoolander*?
Zoolander is a Ben Stiller film where he plays a not-so-intelligent model. It isn't that good, not least because there's a far-fetched subplot involving an attempt to kill the Malaysian prime minister.

Deconstructing Arnold
Oh, please tell me Woody Allen didn't have anything to do with this... (Referring to Allen's film Deconstructing Harry.)
Sid (Sam Gifaldi) horks his pal's cell phone: Oh, come on, he'll never notice.
"Princess" (Rhonda, voice of Olivia Hack) passes the secret admirer letter to "Curly" (Haley Joel Osment AKA Mr. "I see dead people"): Wait, the Three Stooges are in this?
Harold (Justin Shenkarow) and Stinky (Christopher P. Walberg) weaken Eugene's (Ben Diskin) bike: I hope you all have good trial lawyers.
This day is "Official Dumbass Prank Day" at PS 118 (Arnold's school), it seems.
Arnold (Spencer Klein this time) refuses to help the others when they all come to him and beg for advice: Wow, I didn't know Arnold was a Technomage.
Jesse's explanation: On Crusade, a Babylon 5 spinoff, one of the main characters was a "Technomage," a person who used technology to achieve the effects of magic. While he often answered questions and/or solved pieces of puzzles for the show's lead, there were also times when he gave no answers. But he'd rarely just *say* things like "I can't/won't answer that for you" or "I don't know the answer." More often it would come out as something rather roundabout that could easily be confused with an answer. These would be more along the lines of "There are a myriad of stars, Captain. You must explore for yourself."
Helga tries to give advice, Arnold style, i.e., put the horked cell phone back, blame others for critically wounding a friend and go for the guy as per the fake love letter: Helga's a Clinton Democrat.
As the results are shown: See? Who needs more proof?
Lovesick Helga goes on about how great Arnold is supposed to be: For crying out loud, where's a gun when you need one?
Background: for some odd reason, Helga is apparently in love with the football head. She's trying to keep this crush a secret, though.
The others plot against Helga when her advice fails horribly: I suspect Congress went after Clinton after the Lewinski scandal for similar reasons.

Stinky Goes Hollywood


Boy Wonder: Yum, tastes like chicken.
DianaGohan: Only a Yahoo doesn't Drink A Yahoo (Kinda like how only a Wacko dosen't own a Wacko, but with Yahoo). (The "Only a Wacko" bit comes from an earlier ep titled "The High Life", with Gerald selling watches branded "Wacko".)

Brainy's Diary and Who Killed Lila, also by Jason Wolczanski

The other is, obviously, some sort of mystery about (what else?) the murder of Lila. Helping out in the investigation: Helga, Arnold, and resident insect-lover Nadine (Lauren Robinson).

The Love Docter, ANOTHER Wolczanski MSTing
Arnold visits psychiatrist Dr. Bliss (Kathy Baker, from "Helga on the Couch"), who happens to be Helga's regular psychiatrist. Watch out for the references to the Hey Arnold! movie.

The Wild Thornberrys
Riffs

The Wild Thornberrys Movie

Eliza: Could somebody PLEASE fix the lighting here, I can hardly see a thing!	Suddenly I have this feeling that if Eliza had a more normal "scholastic" life, she'd be pretty good safety patrol material don't ya think? shogunthethird: Eliza to her horror discovered her resucers were Michael Jackson and a bikini-clad Rosie O'Donnell Anyone00: "What did she step in?!?" ProdigyCube: "Oh my! I'm stuck in an afro! Good thing somebody is saving me. Cause I was really scared, you know? I mean, I just woke up today and I was inside an afro. Well, lets just say that I'm glad I'm finaly rescued. Goodness, I wonder if I missed American Idol? Oh, shoot! Hmm, maby somone taped it for me. I sure do hope so. Oh wait, crap! And I was 'spose to meet my new boy friend to see You Got Served (a film starring the members of the boyband B2K)! Aw man!"
Nigel: I think I'll go into the Comvee just for any remotely decent lighting here.	"This is Traffic Reporting for the Shadow Realm"
Eliza: Should I be sure that its even SAFE up there?!	Even the new TMNT show was made by 4Kids, they still hired Eliza to scout out for talented young turtles. Strange huh?
Eliza: It's amazing what work you get when you pay for peanuts huh?	I don't know why but all of a sudden "Queen" is popping into my head, but I'm sure the reasons are subtle huh?
KTF: Debbie: "Don't worry Granny, we're just going to be making a quick side trip to the nursing home." DianaGohan: "These kids today with their punk driving and their punk music and their punk driving music that they drive to the... is it nap time now?" jeffrey 228: "I think she has gone insane because she wants to get out of the country life."	candy17: You know how people say that coffee tastes like mud? Well, I think the people at Nickelodeon carried this idea too far, as seen in this outtake from an episode of "The Wild Thornberrys". shogunthethird: ...to her horror, lady buttmunche discovered that somehow her cup of tea had been turned into the highly dangerous serengeti teacup-shaped land octopus Lab_Rat: Winner of the Senior Citizens' Fear Factor!

Eliza Unplugged
Lab_Rat:

• Shane: "Yeah, --- sure, we can make out, Eliza. Let's just wait until the sun goes down; way down."
• Eliza: "It's in the new contract. My sister couldn't get a make-over so I had to get a make-under. It's got something to do with contrast."

shogunthethird: "for the sake of the relationship, would you please either get a plastic surgeon or a paper bag for your face?"
Beatdigga: "It's true Eliza. You're ugly as hell. I've been dating her for three weeks." "But, why Fujiko? Why her?" "Have you SEEN those knockers?! :-D"
cheezecrunchees:
Eliza: Man, did I used that Mane & Tail thing on my hair, or did I ended up like Justin Timberlake?
Shane: Yeah, but at least you didn't ended up like William Hung or Jasmine Trias, or something.
pinoyLlama_350: Eliza, if you look as ugly as Chuckie Finster, would you tell that shaman guy that you needed to join "Nerd Idol" in order to be beautiful? (...dashing good looks? - nickelodeon)

MSTings
These are by The Last Orbot, Mark Jr Wiesner.
Wild Thornberry Lemon Two Pack
A pair of REALLY sex-heavy fics: one has Debbie using a vibrator and the other has Darwin sucking on Eliza's breasts (except that Eliza's chest is pretty flat). (Both end with Misty of Pokemon getting pregnant... and this is even though she has no role in the 2nd fic.) So if you're sensitive to such fics, don't read them.
Darwin's Replacement
Basically, Darwin gets run over by the Commvee, and gets replaced by Domino's Pizza's monkey mascot. Check out what Eliza does to him.

As Told By Ginger
Riffs
Those not credited are from Pokejedservo.
TGIF

Why ATBG and a REALLY bad Stephen King novel-based movie should never mix...	Ginger: For the last time Carl YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE IN THE NEXT "FRIDAY THE 13TH" MOVIE! Ugh, I can't believe they STILL make those horrible movies.
Carl: Now what will my mentor the Brain do? from Blue Falcon: Roar! Me eat world! Roar! from Nin-Nin69: Nope. I can't locate Spiderman's secret headquarters with this map either. from DianaGohan: First I'll conquer America with my crappy show, and then the world! That is if Rocket Power dosen't do it first.	Who knew that squiggle lines could make such an intresting written language? Huh?
Why Beauty & the Beast and ATBG should NEVER mix.	Exciting isn't it?
Is it just me? Or does this scene seem a bit '70's-ish?	I'm not quite sure I want to know whats going on here...
Never do they apparently... Upon realizing that Macie wore "square" glasses, Ginger felt differently about hanging out with "squares" (from Kevin P.)

FredNash: "Don't. Move. You've got a... bug on your face... *BLAM* Got it! ... Oops..." "Have you ever danced with Jimmy Neutron in the pale moonlight?" shogunthethird: I know what you're thinking punk did he fire six plasma bolts or just five? well this here's an illudium-Q36 explosive space modulator so you gotta ask yourself, "do I feel lucky" well do ya?
