Favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes?

There are so many listed here that I love. Final Sacrifice, Space Mutiny, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, TISCTSLABMUZ, Cave Dwellers, Pod People…

They’re all my favorite.

All time favorite for me is “Time of the Apes”. It is fast paced humor at its finest.

“Oh I’ve got a screwdriver in my back pocket”-Welcome to plot convenience playhouse.

“Easy…”-(Lifting the boy through the air duct)…Harder.

(Panning around a tree where the humans are tied up and the apes enter with the leader with a riding crop). C’mon girls, we’re gonna give em a makeover they won’t believe.

I have always loved Time Chasers. That was the one from the 80s/90s with the airplane as the time machine and the dork who wore a “Castleton” sweatshirt the whole time. My best friend went there and I’d visit a lot and so it made it extra funny. As it was one of the rarer modern movie, it’s special just for that, but it truly is an awful movie with, for me, lots of familiar sites.

I think my top five are Werewolf, Space Mutiny, The Girl in Lovers’ Lane, Tormented, and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. I think I’ll watch some MST3K tonight actually.

Many of my favorites have already been mentioned, but not Future War…which is not set in the future and does not involve a war. It does, however, have a hooker-turned-nun heroine, forced-perspective dinosaur puppets, and one of my all-time favorite bad movie lines: “There’s monsters in the hood.”

I don’t know that I’d call this one a favorite, but an episode that sticks in my mind is The Creeping Terror. The movie featured in this episode was badly made even by the standards of MST3K movies, with a monster that looked like a futon cover and much of the dialogue handled by a narrator. No, really. Instead of having the actors speak their own lines, or even having them dubbed in later, we often see the actors talking but only hear the narrator say things like “Bob told Fred to go to hell!” Legend has it that during production of the movie the audio equipment fell into a lake so the filmmakers were forced to shoot a largely silent movie.

Deathstalker, Final Sacrifice, Space Mutiny, Operation Double 007, Santa Claus, Roger Corman’s The Undead… Jack Frost… Secret Agent Super Dragon…

The guys from MS3000 have launched rifftrax. You can download these audio tracks and sync them with your favorite movies and expand your Mystery Science library!

Well, some of them are on Rifftrax. The others launched Cinematic Titanic

Santa Claus “Nice aria Santa”

Outlaw “Buffalo shots”

Pod People “It stinks”

One of my favorites seems to be little-known, and I don’t think it’s been put out for home video: The Dead Talk Back. So awful, yet so funny.

It is.

That is my all time favorite comedy DVD.

When fake snow (that looks suspiciously like confetti) blows into the room, and the guys yell “hey, Rip Taylor’s here”.

Nit, the racist opening came from the Mexican movie Santa Claus, Santa Claus vs. the Martians had no racist images AFAIK, but it has a Polar bear that was so ridiculous that the polar bears did sue for defamation of character. :slight_smile:

My favorites are probably This Island Earth, Boggy Creek 2, and Pod People. My friends and I watched Pod People so many times as teenagers that I can recite that movie back and forth. Whenever we wanted to express some sarcastic appreciation for another’s accomplishment we would say, “Trumpy, you can do STUPID things!”

Those are the ones I like the least, because they’re so damn bleak and depressing.

The Screaming Skull - “Can we help you, movie lady? Do you need a push or something?”

Danger!! Deathray -“Special effects by …Billy!”

That’s what makes the “Cheating” short so great. Servo asks if it’s one of the first movies Bergman made in the U.S. “A Case of Spring Fever” is another one of their best shorts. Aside from that, most of my favorite episodes have already been mentioned - Space Mutiny, Overdrawn, Prince of Space, etc. The Rifftrax treatment of “Reefer Madness” (or the DVD with just Mike handling commentary) is also great.

Oh, and I added another “0” to the thread title to make it 3000.

That’s probably the one I’ve watched the most, with the Joe Don Baker movies coming in tied at 2nd. Joe Don was pissed after the first one, so they did another and ripped on him even worse!

(Video, safe for work)
Space Mutiny!
And as is my custom in these threads(video, safe for work):“I’m Rowsdower. Zap Rowsdower.”

I need to find a good DIVX converter. I have a bunch of episodes I put in .avi format a long time back, but they won’t play on my Philips DVD player. Must be too old of a format.

Wow, I just had it on and it began by showing Santa around the world, including Africa, China, and Japan and each one was stereotypical. The Africa one was downright racist.

I loved the reactions the robots and Mike had, as soon as the kids in black face appeared.

“Oh?!” “Booooo!” “Booooo!” “Must be from the Ted Danson school of acting!”

Also when attempting to add baby Jesus, Santa and Satan in the movie I have to agree with the guys that the movie Santa Claus has “Very weird theology”.
And I completely missed another nitpick, the other movie was *Santa Claus **Conquers *the Martians

I just re-watched that one tonight. I thought it was funny at the end with the guy playing Pitch and Kevin Murphy playing Santa, “I came here to kick ass and eat candy-canes. And I’m fresh out of candy canes.”
