I remember one day hearing my father downstairs laughing his ass off. Went down to see what was so funny to find he had just discovered Mystery Science Theater 3000, and was losing it watching The Giant Gila Monster. I sat down to watch. I didn’t really get it then, but I’ve been a fan ever since.
I think The Final Sacrifice might take it for me. Rowsdower ftw.
MST3K hasn’t really held up for me. I don’t find it even little-chuckle funny anymore, but I remember Space Mutiny making my teenaged self laugh the hardest.
P.S. Bill Corbett was the only funny one in the entire history of that show. ducks and runs
The Puma Man! With the power to rear project buildings from his arse!
Oh who am I kidding, I can’t build a cat!
PEWMAMAN!
When you want the flavor of bacon
in a dip
Each man is a god each man is free…Which is why we worship aliens whose only power is to give one man a problematic outfit and a bad accent.
I didn’t want to bungle or bobble the Fingal dopple.
Mitchell is a go to for me.
Joel’s snowy farewell, Mike narrowly missing death, and it got the cast/crew physically threatened by Joe Don Baker.
FYI for anyone just reminded of the show: !mst3k@lemmy.world
The Girl in Lovers Lane… with Jack Elam not Jack LaLanne.
Mitchell, Manos, and Pod People are probably a three-way tie for me. Some of my underrated favorites are Girls Town, The Incredible Melting Man, The Giant Spider Invasion, Teen-Age Crime Wave, and Kitten With a Whip.
MANOS THE HANDS OF FATE
Oh absolutely this one
Overall favorite is probably The Movie if that counts (not an episode), Werewolf if it doesn’t.
I use the movie to introduce people to the show. It sets up the whole universe without tons of in-jokes that newbies won’t understand. And “This Island Earth” is a weird combo of being a decent enough movie while still being infinitely mockable.
Do yourself a favor and check out the Rifftrax streaming app. Tons of great content. Easily worth the $6 a month.
My favorite is probably The Space Children.
- Time of the Apes
- Santa Claus (the one with Pitch the demon)
- Godzilla vs Megalon
- Mitchell
- War of the Colossal Beast (just for the Mr B Natural short)
- The Day the Earth Froze
Mitchell…
The Final Sacrifice is one of my all-time favorites!! It is the perfect mix of a bad movie that is just the right kind of entertaining and hilarious jokes at the awkward kid, hopeless drunk, and other ridiculous side characters. I think I could watch it literally every day.
I think the movie is going reeeaaaally well
Rowsdower!
This is one of the harder episodes to find. Tjardus Greidanus lives up to the name he’s given durning the opening credits and doesn’t allow Shoutcast to have a license for the movie and will frequently go copyright strike anyone that puts the episode up online.
What?!?! Just embrace it, dude!
