Name your favorite MST3K episode. (Subcategory: Name your favorite MST3K short.)

[bbernardini]

Mine would have to be "Pod People," with "Cave Dwellers" coming in a very close second.

Favorite short hands down is "Mr. B Natural." I'm fairly certain I came perilously close to pissing my pants the first time I saw that one.

[bicentennial_baby]

1. Either "A Touch of Satan" or "The Prince of Space"

Although, "Puma Man" was pretty badass too :D

On edit, who could forget and not love "Parts: The Clonus Horror" !! :rofl:

[RedStateShame]

2. "Mitchell"

A sentimental favorite, Joel's last episode, and it's one of my more quote-able MST3K episodes.

"Hey!"
"What?"
BANG
"Oh!"

My favorite short has to be "Junior Rodeo."

[regularguy]

7. Cut out that Rockford music, I'm MITCHELL!

[AAARRRGGGHHH]

19. Whattttttttt .... are you doing, Mitchell?

Is my favorite MST3K line of all time.

[Phillycat]

28. "Mitchell, honey, put your shoes on, we're home."

"Johnny Mathis??"

[AllegroRondo]

3. Hercules vs the Moon Men

"have a seat, Herc"

"Nooooo!!!"

Followed by a short musical number about the merits of pants. Herc liked to run around in a short skirt.


Favorite short - A day at the Circus.

"They're doing it clown style!"

"Emmit Kelly is still eating!"
"And its still funny!"

"May I remind you, this is a circus, and there will be children present?"
"May I remind you to bite me?"

[bbernardini]

6. I think this is going to turn into one of those "oh, I forgot about THAT one" threads.

I totally forgot about "A Day At The Circus." Classic.

[EstimatedProphet]

11. "It's the monsters of rock tour!"

That's one of my faves too!

[Giant Robot]

4. Gotta go with a classic

"Manos: Hands of Fate" or "Gamera"

I can't remember the name of the short I liked most "Mr B Natural" was great, but I liked the one about selling cars more. Sorry, can't think of the name of it for the life of me.

[AllegroRondo]

9. the selling cars one

I forgot that one also!

Is that the one with the father and son sitting on the porch, discussing the fine points of selling cars, while mom gets them lemonade?

I loved how the bots made their own version - as a musical. Gypsy singing "would you like some LEMONADE!!!"

[RedStateShame]

17. Hired!

I believe that's your short in question. Here are parts 1 and 2.

[Giant Robot]

49. That's it!

Thanks!

[TheMightyFavog]

5. Gamera vs. Guiron

Although The Giant Spider Invasion holds a place in my heart because some of the scenes were shot here at UWSP.

Of course, The Final Sacrifice is up there, too.

Fave short, Mr. B. Natural

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

21. How does the Gamera theme song stack up against songs of yesteryear?

?

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

23. The opening has kind of a George

and Ira Gershwin flavor. It sneaks up on you. "Boo!" is says.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

24. They don't write them like that anymore do they?

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

25. No, they certainly don't.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

27. Shell, teeth, eyes, claws, scales, breath...

fun.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

45. Gamera's the latest thing.

She fills our hearts with Spring Spring Spring! Anytime you want some moonbeams.....Gamera is the thing.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

53. Gamera is really neat. He is filled with TUUUURTLLLLLE MEEEEAAAT!

We all love you Gameeeeeraaaaa!

[NYCGirl]

8. Favorite ep: "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" Favorite short: Mr. B Natural

also "Master Ninja II" or "Danger! Deathray!!"

[meegbear]

15. The Day The Earth Froze for sure!

Mr. B. Natural for the short.

[Phillycat]

29. The Day The Earth Froze is freaking hysterical.

That and Mitchell are my two favorites.

[AllegroRondo]

31. Sampo!

ask for it by name!

[AllegroRondo]

12. How could I forget "Teenagers From Outer Space"?

with the giant lobster attacking the city!

"What about TORTURE!"


And the great scene where the aliens use their 'advanced technology' to scan the planet, where the instrument they are using clearly says "mulit-channel mixer"

[EstimatedProphet]

13. Santa Claus Vs. The Martians

And favorite short is the either the life in the future car promo or the car salesman one.

[Coventina]

14. Has to be "Cave Dwellers"

Favorite short-----tough call. I really like the Home Ec, the Cheating, and the "What to Do on a Date" ones.

[deucemagnet]

16. Godzilla vs. Megalon

And who can forget the Jet Jaguar Fight Song?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cxV8Bf8ND4

[Bryan]

[realisticphish]

34. "Hey, it's the Ku Klux Klowns!"

[Evoman]

32. Okay...its not a real episode, but I like "Dark Dungeon" where they talk about a chick tract.

http://www.humpin.org/mst3kdd/

I don't think it was actually done by the mst3k people, but it was very well done anyways.

[realisticphish]

33. Space Mutiny

"Music that means, means, means, nothing at all, all, all" (BigMcLargeHuge would appreciate this one :D)


My fav short would be "A Date with Your Family," with "Are You Ready For Marriage" as a close second.

Oh, and I can't forget the public speaking one.... "Plenty of lip and tongue action" :rofl:

[Coventina]

35. D'oh! I forgot "A Date with Your Family"!!!!!

"Honey, I'm moving to fire island!"

:rofl:

[realisticphish]

38. Help your mother sit down like you would your best girl

mike- "The less said about this, the better..."

[Coventina]

39. "Lord, please take me now!"

I can't remember the exact words but another slayer goes something like:

"Be sure to compliment the women, it will make them more eager to please you in the future!"

[realisticphish]

40. "emotions are for ethnic people"

"more gin, pop?"

man i could do this all day :D

I'm a major Mysty-Head (for lack of a better term)

[Coventina]

41. "What if I just like my family as a friend?"

I think I'm going to have to go watch that one right now!

[realisticphish]

43. when i get home from work

ditto

[Aristus]

46. Agreed. Gotta be "Space Mutiny". "Biff Beefbroth!" "Hank Hardchest!"

"Stab Rockflank!" "Brad Benchpress!" "Gristle McThornbody!" "Brick Manmuscle!" AND......


"Big McLargeHuge!"

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

55. Where is that guy anyway?

[Poiuyt]

36. Ring of Terror

It's about the 35 year old students in med school.

[poiuytsister]

66. That one had a great host segment called

"Old School." Was John Caradine in that one?

[Poiuyt]

37. All MST3K DVDs are available here:

http://www.cupandblade.com/store/catalog/index.php?cPath=21

Not just the ones that are sold by Rhino. I've never purchased any of these so I can't vouch for them, but at least it's the complete collection

[Pacifist Patriot]

62. Thank you! Hopefully I wasn't the only dweeb wonder what this meant.

[Book Lover]

42. I Accuse my Parents and Hired!

"Are you happy / In your work? / Do you never, ever shirk?"




"I got a job today / I'm selling Chevrolets / I'm bringing home good pay / I just got hired!"

[stuntcat]

44. all of them :blush:

I can't pick a favorite but I have to comment on this anyway because I love it so much.
especially Servo :loveya:

[Danger Mouse]

47. How could you forget 'Overdrawn at the Memory Bank,' the Raul Julia epic?

The funniest episode of MST3K I've ever seen...you really need to see it if you never have.
The movie includes an ugly female lead, Raul Julia, a repulsive fat man, and 'Doppels'
and Raul Julia's character is named Aram Fingle. If I spelled it right.
My favorite short: 'Catching Trouble,' where Joel apologizes on behalf of humanity for the actions of the person in the film :P

[Giant Robot]

50. That movie was one of a handful that was just so painful

I could not stand it. Manos was more fun to watch.

[Danger Mouse]

51. I found Manos more agonizing.

In fact, Manos is clearly the WORST movie they ever did.
Anyway, 'Overdrawn at the Memory Bank' is indeed incredibly painful, and inconceivably stupid...but I think they did a MARVELOUS job with the material.
How could you not love the fat man, the kid nearly getting mustard on someone's brain, and the bizarre prejudice against anteaters? ('You could get an anteater...MAYBE.' 'At least I'm not an anteater!' 'Daisy's too good for the bastard! He's going on as an anteater!')
They must've realized it was dreadful when they were making it, it seems like it makes fun of itself quite a bit, too.
'Mom, am I nuts?'

[Norwood]

57. Love this show! 3 way tie between

Manos Hand of Fate
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
Batwoman

Truly a powerfully trio of awful movies!

[Critters2]

48. Santa Claus meets the Martians nt

[sarge43]

52. Space Mutiny

"Rip Slabsteak!" "Railing Death!"

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

54. Prince of Space - I like it very much.

[bicentennial_baby]

60. Bootblacking!

:rofl:

:yourock:

[jane_pippin]

56. Clonus

"What does M-I-L-W-A-U-K-E-E spell?"

"About $2.99 a case!"

Short--Mr. B or Hired!

[bicentennial_baby]
