MST3K[]
The exclamation "Mannix!" is a common riff on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Mannix was known for being an action-heavy show, as well as for its frequent depiction of violence. The "Mannix!" riff on MST3K usually involves someone jumping down/up, a quick car maneuver, or something else intended to be "action-y".
The "Mannix!" riff sometimes includes a reference to the four-note opening sequence of the Mannix theme song.
