I FREAKIN' LOVE MST3K.

The Joel episodes anyway.... just couldn't ever feel the love for Mike. This reminds me - I need to put the MST3K box set on my list for Santa.

 

[Drowningman]

Probably one of the most brilliant and creative programs ever to be televised.

I love MST3K.

We used to religiously watch it during college.

Wow, I never thought I'd see a MST3k thread here. It is one of the best and most underrated shows ever. The quotation in my location is actually from it.

This thread needs video!

Manos, The Hands of Fate!

Manos, The Hands of Fate!

That episode is so popular, but I just couldn't love it. In spite of a fantastic riff track, the movie was just TOO dull.

My favorite episode is "Santa vs. Satan" or whatever the name of that one is with the little demon that tries to destroy Christmas. In fact, it's just about time to watch it, isn't it!

 

[Reggo]

My favourite has to be Mitchell. Joel's last sad and one of the few times they didn't do a sci-fi movie. Joe Don Baker got so mad, he threatened to beat up the guys. I've seen Manos, I've seen The Movie, but Mitchell is my favourite. Also, bonus Merlin Olsen and (possibly uncredited) Larry Miller.

Used to love MST3K!

We watched it on the original local UHF broadcast in Minneapolis--nothing like adjusting the circular antenna so that you can tell the difference between Tom Servo's and Crow's silhouettes.

What was the awful airplane disaster movie with Bert Convey?
--"Why don't you go do some wing-walkin' Bert!"
--"The plane's seal has burst!"--seal animal noises--"Orr! Orr! Orr! Orr!"

Great stuff!

One of my most favorite shows ever .

Ugh. That one is SO creepy and disturbing.


If anyone likes MST3K, try to find "It Came From Hollywood" with John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Cheech & Chong, etc. from 1982. Very funny movie with these actors laughing and commenting on crappy Hollywood movies--mostly bad monster and horror ones.

It Came from Hollywood (1982)

That's a great one. The films that were obviously ripping off a successful film were the best. Space Mutiny was like that too.

Stock footage was always fun as well. Like this classic

YouTube - They Took out the Hitler Building! (MST3K) - late '90s

 

[liz9640]

my favorite show ever! most of my friends don't get it though, I guess it takes a certain sense of humor to find it funny.

 

[allbecauseofu2]

yea. these movies are so bad,lol. space mutiny. lmao. anyone seen a touch of Satan? lol

My husband could never stand it because he found Joel/Mike & the 'bots talking over the movie dialogue so disruptive. Plus, he didn't get a lot of the random references. My brother & I on the other hand, used to watch episodes religiously. When he was still stationed Stateside & the show was airing on Comedy Central, he would call me & we'd watch them together while on the phone with each other.

YouTube - Best of MST3K - Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

I wanted to get "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" because I heard it was one of the best/worst movies ever made. Netflix had the regular version and the MST3K version, it was no contest.

 

[Screwtape2]

^Watching that movie is a Christmas tradition for me.

anyone seen a touch of Satan? lol

The Amazing Grace bits were so damn funny. "This song is in the public domain. That's why we used it twice. Hahaha public domain. You can't sue." I think that's how it went.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Justin.tv

This shows MST3K episodes 24/7, well, almost. Sometimes they'll air an unriffed really bad movie just because. I was unlucky enough to view Hobgoblins 2 on here, and a few weeks ago they had the unriffed Prince of Space on here.

 

[INDY500]

The show was by and for my generation. We grew up on those movies and lived the references. I'm kinda glad the show ended when it did because that's about the time I tuned out of pop culture so newer references would have flown right over my noggin.

Got every show released on DVD.

 

[LemonMelon]

I was never able to properly follow this show, as it was a little bit before my time, but I adore every moment of it that I've seen. Best concept ever.

 

[allbecauseofu2]

how about that one, with the giant grasshopper,lol or something like that.
