anyone else like mst3k??

Yes.

I mostly watched during the Sci-Fi era, but lately I've been watching some of the Comedy Central episodes.

[Roseangelo]

I grew up watching it on Comedy Central, and lived about 30 minutes from the studio. Never got over there, though...

When I worked at Toys R Us in high school, Jim Mallon once came through my register line.

[Jack Skellington]

did anyone know mike nelson does movie reviews in cracked?

[ZariusTwo]

[cowabunga14]

anyone else like mst3k??
Yes, and my favorite episode would have to be Laserblast.

Did you know who he was at the time, and if so, did you ask him to do Gypsy? :lol:

Did you know that he is back with Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett as The Film Crew making fun of even more bad movies?

[Jack Skellington]

[Jo Dawn]

We will we will Rowsdower

Best. Episode. Ever. That one never ceases to make me cry laughing.

[Roseangelo]

Did you know who he was at the time, and if so, did you ask him to do Gypsy? :lol:

Oh yes, I very much knew. All I said to him was that I really enjoy the show, right as he was leaving. He thanked me and was nice all around. He was with his two sons.. I think they bought a football or something. The woman behind him in line then asked me who he was, as she had no clue.

That TRU was actually good for celebrity spotting. I saw a handful of local TV/radio celebrities and Kevin Garnett was a regular customer. Being a bit short, helping him was... interesting. ^_^ One of my co-workers was even shorter than me.. watching her help him was just kind of funny.

Oh, and semi-MST3K related... a few years later I was working at a Borders in the same neighborhood. While working the info desk I thought I spotted a guy who looked like Jack Perkins. Then I looked around a bit and found one of the local TV sports anchors. This was significant because one of the local sports anchors is the son of Jack Perkins. So it was no look alike, it was the real Jack Perkins! Didn't get to help either of them, though... Oh, and I did spot Kevin Garnett in there once, although I didn't help him.

[Jester]

Hate to necropost, but I felt better to ressurect the thread, than to make a new one.

I hadn't seen much MST3K, in fact all I've seen are some of the Gamera flicks, Manos, and the movie (as well as Mitchell and Hamlet just yeaterday).

I figured I'd start with the KTMA series, but they seem rather light on the riffing. Should I go ahead and trudge through them, or just wait until they reappear in future episodes, as many of them do?

When they're funny, they're extremely funny, but that's sadly not very often. IIRC the KTMA-season riffs were improvised whereas all later season were written, so you know.. There is a noticeable difference in both quantity and quality.

I'm on the second (that is second episode that can be found the 1st 3 are missing), Gamera, which is Joel sans bots....so I'm sure this will be sparce. But hey, it's Gamera!

Well, if you want Gamera, they re-did all the Gamera movies after the show went to cable. :tsmile:

PAAATE was pretty much spot on - the KTMA episodes were done on the fly, so there can be looong stretches of silence in between weak riffs. I wouldn't recommend them to a relative MST3K newbie. Likewise, it's probably best to skip the first season for now as well. The show gained its classic look and feel with season 2. Also, there's no real need to watch the shows chronologically if you feel like skipping around. The only "big" story episodes are the ones that feature cast changes. The Sci-Fi episodes got a little more serialized, but obviously the whole point of the show is the movie riffing.

[Jester]

Yeah...most of the KTMAs were eventually re-done, weren't they? I figure I'll just watch them in order. I don't mind...especially since the KTMAs are just background noise ATM.

[Jester]

Watching Gamera vs Guiron, which I once reviewed, though my copy was called Attack of the Monsters. This dub is far more painfull. Especially...the...broken...dialogue.

[TheCanadiandrome]

anyone else like mst3k??

what is it?

[Jester]

what is it?

Mystery Science Theater 3000, a series where a man trapped in a space station is sent cheesy movies to find a man's breaking point. To help keep him sane, he has several (only 2 watch with him) robot companions.

Now on Superdome...

[XERO]

I always dug the film version, where they watch This Island Earth.

[Jester]

Yep, one of the 1st MST3K's I saw. It and Manos. :D

[JakeSully]

Big fan of MST3K since i saw it at age 12 on Comedy Central and became a fan, i even saw the movie in theaters and collected the tapes since i was 15 and now replaced them with the DVD sets.

[TheCanadiandrome]

have never seen it

[Jester]

have never seen it
I'd recomend it. It's fun. Like being withh a group of friends and ripping on a bad movie. Manos: The Hands of Fate is one of the better known episodes, and was the first I saw.

[AllTheDVDsWillBeMine!]

Love that show. How I wish I could get hands on the DVDs.

ZOMG! Unintentional username pun!

[Jester]

Working on season 1. Really enjoy the Commander Cody shorts....:D

[Peanut]

I don't get this show at all. The bits between the movie stuff is nothing short of horrendous and the main portion of the show isn't much better.

I've watched at least 8 full episodes and about half of a dozen more, pretty much everything on Netflix, and I have no idea what people could possibly find funny about it. I tried my hardest to find SOMETHING that would allow me to at least understand why people may enjoy it, but I just couldn't.

It's unfunny and boring as f*ck. I'd much rather watch some trash with my friends and listen to Stryker make bad puns.

[Jester]

I'm on the "Mike Era" of MST3K...I'll let ya know if I prefer Mike or Joel after a few more Mike episodes.

[wilddiverse]

"I Accuse My Parents" is a personal favorite.

[KROW]

I'll rev up a DVD or two from time to time and enjoy the riffs as they come. I don't really have a favorite, but "Soultaker" and "Puma Man" stand out quite well.

Well look who it is.... KROOOOOOOW!!

I think they all have their moments. Right now I'm on Teenage Crime Wave.

DULL SURPRISE!

[Abnormal Freak]

My older brother and his friend used to watch this show all the time; his friend would bring over new episodes he'd recorded on tape (which he also later did with Cartoon Planet when that aired, and man I wish that show could be on DVD). Thought it was great. :) Never had a serious desire to go back to it, though, but have been thinking of watching some episodes that are on Netflix.

Watched Soultaker last week with a pal. That was pretty good. "His face is like a giant catcher's mitt." http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif I enjoyed seeing Joel and Frank; as a kid I always liked Joel episodes more than Mike's. I'm told Mike was almost always the head writer, so you'd think it would be just as funny, but for whatever reason I just never liked Mike's deliveries as much.

That and UNNNGGHHHHH! it always feels good to see something represent my home state and the Midwest. MST3K will always have a place in my heart for the laughs it gave me as a kid and for its importance (well, I'd say it's a staple!) to late 20th century Minnesotan culture. :p

[Storm Wolf]

My father used to watch it but I was never interested in "black and white" old movies.

Then I met KROW and he reintroduced me to MST3K. The first ever episode we watched together was Mitchel. I loved it.





I can admit that I do find some of them boring. Some of them reference things I'm to young to remember. I happened to like Mikes presentation of things better. Joel just seemed so....i dunno emotionless.

[Jester]

I'm watching last of the Wild Horses....which has Mirror Universe versions of the entire cast. Heck, you get to see Frank and Forrester riff...:D

[Jester]

On to Ed Wood's Sinister Urge. The jokes in this and the last episode (The Starfighter) ring more blue than some of the other episodes, especially the Joel stuff.

[KROW]

I remember that episode when it aired. The switch was great. I'd love to watch it again just to see Frank and Clay in the theater, even though it was very brief.

[Jester]

I loved the "No, Frank I'm not going to carry you in..." bit. It was classic.

[Storm Wolf]

I just bought The Film Crew: Hollywood after Dark and The Film Crew: Wild Women of Wongo for KROW

Can't wait! Got both of them for super cheap too!

[Jester]

Working on the very short season 7 (8 if you count KTMA as season 1). On The Incredible Melting Man...man is he gross.

[XERO]

Wait... you got KROW for cheap? :P

It's too bad the Cinematic Titanic DVDs are so damn expensive. I watched a few short clips from their riffs and loved it.

Another good one. I have that on a bootleg and pop it in on occasion.

[RAM BAM]

Manos and Mitchell are my two faves! I have the essential DVD which pairs Manos and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

[soliloquy]

MST3k is the best!
I like Mike over Joel, personally, because he was the one doing the show when I first got into it back in high school.

Three of my favorites are The Thing That Couldn't Die, Space Mutiny, and Screaming Skull. I'm also so happy to see a whole bunch on Netflix that I haven't seen yet, and am looking forward to a MST3k marathon in the near future. :)

Does anybody else find themselves randomly quoting MST3k in daily life? I do!

Can't say i have...but Manos is the only episode I've watched more than once.

Oh...and ♫♫HE TRIED TO KILL HIM WITH A FORKLIFT!!♫♫

[Jester]

On to Parts: The Clonus Horror. Love the Mario music and sound effects the make for Dr. Mario....:P

Man, how many times did they use the "Why don't you kiss her instead of talking her to death." reference from It's a Wonderful Life?

Manos quotes (Torgo):
-I look after the place while the master is away.
-Can I just have one woman?

[Jester]

The Master would not approve...
He is not dead the way you know it...he is with us always!

[Jester]

Just finished Riding with Death which is based on a novel by H.G. Wells...that novel, THE INVISIBLE MAN! That has got to be the loosest "Based on" in history!

[Jester]

Watching Devil Doll it's pretty freaky. The puppet...is...a great....actor.

[Jester]

On to Space Mutiny. Time for some Reb Brown goodness.

Classsic ep. "Big McLarge Huge"
It's so epic the MST3K wiki has a list of all of the "nicknames" (http://mst3k.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Nicknames_for_Dave_Ryder)

[Jester]

Watching Time Chasers. Spielberg did totally steal the large vehicle in tree bit....:D

[Jester]

Overdrawn at the Memory Bank: Dude gets his brain in put into a monkey because he watched movies...er cinemas...glad the Forresters didn't get any ideas.

[Jester]

Season 9 starts now! On to The Projected Man...how does that work, exactly?

Finally reached Puma Man (The Puma Man...The Puma Man...The Puma Man). Here we go...

[Jester]

As a Kevin I should comment on Hobgoblins
Mike: Imagine being beat up by a guy named Kevin...

HEY!!!

[KROW]

Keep circulating the thread, Jester. :thumbsup:

[Jester]

Last episode of season 9: Quest of the Delta Knights. Pearl is in the theater riffing with the bots.
For those who thought TMNT II was David Warner's low point...look no further.

[Jester]

Season 10 starts now. I have watched this episode before, since I wanted to see the episode that saw the return of Joel and TV's Frank...even for one episode.

[Jester]

Working on The Girl in the Golden Boots Mike's favorite episode (Not sure if it's because of all the gals in bikinis dancing.)

I thought the Sci-fi era had a "sci-fi movie of go home" policy.

[PAAATE]

I guess so.
Is that a Stephen Wright joke in your siggy?

[Jester]

Finished Boggy Creek 2. I really wish they'd have done Boggy Creek 1. Heck, i wish I could track down the both of them...straight.

[Jester]

Watching Squirm (almost done!) and as a Southerner I'm a wee bit offended.

[Jester]

LAST EPISODE!! Time to see Mike and the Bots get off the S.O.L.

[LeoNerdo]

Aaaaah I love MST3K!! I never saw it during it's run on television but I kept hearing it about it on various dvd forums across the internet and gave it a try about 4 years ago when I was first away at college. The first dvd set I bought was volume 11 and I've collected almost all of the rest of them since then. Favorite episodes are: Space Mutiny, Mitchell, Boggy Creek II, & Final Sacrifice.

I'm also pretty stinking excited for the MST3K vs. Gamera dvd's coming out in August!! :o

Yeah, they've been wanting to release these for years but couldn't due to a strong holdout from Sandy Frank. Shout Factory finally got the go-ahead back in November.
