MST3K: making bad public domain movies watchable (and funny as hell) since 1989.

So yeah, I love this show.

Awesome show! Sometimes when I am watching a particularly bad movie I pretend to be on MST3K.

MST3k is my favorite tv show ever. Last episode made me cry Embarassed

So many favorite episodes, hard to decide on a favorite. I like Joel era a little bit more but both are great and Pearl is awesome.

Joel was soooo cute. He's the only reason I watched it. I was married to a MiSTie and thought it was weird that he liked it more even though I got more of the references.

oh totally Embarassed. I think Mike gets too much flak, especially since he directed and wrote for most of the episodes and its not like his stuff wasn't funny (love Hobgoblins and Rosdower). With that said, I always preferred Joel's wry sense of humor, Mike was more of a chowderhead but I liked them both a lot. I love the episodes where Pearl watched movies with the bots.

I don't remember Pearl, but it's been more than 10 years. Did you know that a couple of those guys wrote for America's Funniest Home Videos for a while?

First off, LOVE MST3K. Love. It. Ever since I was a kid and it was on Comedy Central. I even wrote a paper about last year for a film theory class.

I <3 MST3K I have seen it all, a lot, I used to have it all, (save for the 3 KTMA episodes that no one has ever had), until I divested of all of my physical media. If you are looking for a new fix there is http://www.cinematictitanic.com/ (I am a "joelite" so I'm not going to throw the other option at you).


I have been to a performance of Cinema Titanic and it was the best! I got to hug Joel after the performance and drunkenly told him Pod People was my favorite!! But the other thing Tabby is hinting as is RiffTrax http://www.rifftrax.com/, which Mike's et al operation. I have never tried doing it because it requires some effort to sync the soundtrack but I'd love to try one day soon.

Also, I just realized that the guys make an appearance on a couple of episodes of Freaks and Geeks. Joel plays the disco DJ and Trace (crow) is a school teacher.

I never could understand the "mike hate" because of this... For the record, Joel is great, but Mike really turns me on...

Mike is very funny and he occasionally posts on The Something Awful forum (or did back when he collaborated with Lowtax). I love his episodes, in fact I would be hard pressed to find an episode of MST3k I did not adore in some way. With that said, I guess I've been Team Joel(wish they sold those as t-shirts Sad ).

Ugh, everytime someone links a Hobgoblins clip I have to go watch all of it now, damn you Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

The Hobgoblins episode has an unprecedented amount of hilarious riffs.

"Jimmy Stewart and Rex Smith in Breaking In!"
"That bank door KILLED A MAN!"
"This poor guy was edged out of every decent role by Grant Goodeve."
"Oh he tried to crowd surf but no one wanted to touch him."
"Poor kid, he had so little promise."
"Member FDI MURDER. Guaranteed for up to fifty thousand DIE."
"Steven BOGGs this whole movie down!"
"Is she related to Wacky Tobaccky?..haha..ha..I'm leaving!!"
"Ah Kari French..haha..I bet she loves that dressing..sorry I hate myself GOODBYE."
"James Mayberry R.F.D. Oh, I hate myself too..."
"We paid for this wing with the profits from D.C. Cab."
"Can we have a law that in the future films have to be made by FILM MAKERS?"
"It just happened, did you see that? The hose just out acted him."

I love MST3K. I used to have a decent collection of episodes that I taped. I meant to transfer them to DVD, but never got around to it and I didn't bring the tapes with me when I moved. Now I miss them. Sometimes I'll be going through my day and I'll think 'I miss the Reverend and Mrs. Snow.' from the Screaming Skull.

I love the bots so much:





I love how Joel rushes in to cover Crow's mouth/beak when everything goes down into the gutter so fast.
