Does anybody have any copies of the first five episodes? I believe they were done on basic cable, and from the few shots they showed in an old documentary of the show, they were very white-washed and incredibly poor production value. If at all possible, I would love to see these.
“I’m experiencing a strange new sensation I’ve never felt before. And I LIKE it.”
That screensaver is awesome!!! I’m going to neglect my computer, just to hear it all day!
Actually, my favorite MSTie moment came towards the end of, I think, Wild World of Batwoman, when poor Tom Servo is reduced to shrieking, “END! END!” at the screen.
I still believe that the double feature of Mr B Natural/War with the Colossal Beast is MST3K at their best
Mr B Natural- The scary male/female pixie teaching a innocent how to play his ‘horn’. If a prancing pixie appearing in your room while you played with it did not scare, the sugary sweet voice sure would
“Knew your father, I did!”
“Come on! Grab your horn or we’ll be late!”
“You gotta inspect your horn, boy…”
The Return of the Colossal Man was hilarious in itself.
“Glenn passes a truck on the highway” (as beast eats bread truck)
and who can forget Mike Nelson as the Beast!
Is that a beer?
Love that show? What are 4 of my rats named? Joel, Crow, Tom Servo and Torgo, what else??
Yes, It’s too bad that the reruns are being pulled 
I introduced some friends to MST3K at a movie night Friday. I think I’ve created some new fans. They really liked the line from the short Body Care and Grooming that goes roughly like this:
(Girl looking unkempt and untidy…
NARRATOR: It’s not the sort of look that will make him want to treat you like a human being.
CROW: Yes, to make him paw you, grope at you…)
We also watched Horror of Party Beach, and at church this morning, they were singing "Sodiummmm, Sohodiummmm… when I was within earshot. They mouthed “Look Polish!” at me across the sanctuary…
(From Horror At Party Beach:
Boy singing: “Love me forever…”
Mike: “Or I’ll kill you.”)
HELL yeah! I have lots of tapes recorded off Comedy Central, including a couple of Season 1 episodes, although I have yet to catalog them all. I would have no problem circulating the tapes, though. Just bear with me until I get my house cleaned up and have time to catalog all of the tapes…
God, no! They’re doing it clown style!
Mogwei22, just noticed your sig. I loved Midnight Madness!
i gots me lots of tapes, i managed to be in an area that didn’t have comedy central for the entire run of the show there, we got it within 2 weeks of the show moving to Sci-fi, which we didn’t get for 2 more years. now my mom tapes the show for me every saturday, and i can pick it up when i come home on holidays. i also get older episodes from a “supplier.” i recently got Attack of the the Eye Creatures, where we learned that “they just didn’t care!” That was the funniest end segment i had ever seen! And you gotta love the Hitler building being destroyed in Invasion of the Neptune Men!
If anyone is interested in tape-trading, just give me an email for a list.
How about some other fave moments from MST3K?
Ones I can recall off the top of my head…
I also liked the Hitler building references from Invasion of the Neptune Men.
The Canada Song!
“Jeeedddd!” (The Leach Woman)
A Patrick Swayze Christmas (from Santa Claus Conquers The Martians)
The riff where they make the running thief in the priest costume sing hymns during The Rebel Set.
In Skydivers, the shot of the jumper’s face wobbling and moving violently as it’s hit by the wind. (Tom Servo: “Good thing he didn’t jump naked…”)
Sublight–I love you for knowing about Midnight Madness.
For years I thought I had made it up because no one I knew had ever heard of it. One of these halloweens I’m going to find a guy and a girl to dress up with me so we can be Leon and his two rollerskating chicks.
No one’s mentioned “The Day the Earth Froze”. My sister and I still sing the “Failure Song” after all these years.
Joel,
We hardly knew ye.
I know this is going to be hopelessly vague, but perhaps someone will recognize this and be able to provide me with what I seek. During one of the breaks, Crow and Mike each sang a rather derogatory song about either Scotsmen, or maybe Candian Mounties. As I remember, they were making fun of them, but weren’t being to visicious. Then Servo started to sing, and started out in a light and easy manner. C & M explained to him he wasn’t going along with the theme, to make fun. So he started again, and with each verse became more and more upset, until he was singing in a almost uncontrollable rage, flailing his little arms around, until C & M had to physically restrain him. It was an absolutely hilarious bit.
Is there any chance someone remembers this and can fill in or correct the details, or perhaps someone who knows the lyrics each sang? I’d be eternally grateful.
That was the Canada song from the episode with Final Sacrifice. Basically, Tom thinks we should bomb Canada city by city. i don’t have the lyrics written out, but i am sure someone knows it by heart.
Did anyone ever figure out what the plotline to “Castle of Fu Manchu” was supposed to be?
I’ve seen this episode twice. I remember something about icebergs, a heart transplant, and a lot of poorly shot running around scenes. I have no idea what the movie was supposed to be about.
I think, notcynical, that you might be referring to the “Canada song” from season 9 show, The Final Sacrifice. This is pulled from the Satellite News website. (www.mst3kinfo.com). Does it sound right?
Being Canadian…I love this bit.
Song: “Oh I Wish I Was Back In Old Canada.”
[SOL]
Mike (telling a joke): …and the drunk guy says, “I can’t help being an idiot, I’m Canadian!”
Crow (Laughs): You’re right, they’re so pathetic, Mike!
(Whistle blows, Tom comes in wearing Mountie uniform)
Tom: Enough! There’s been too much Canada-bashing for far too long! I say: no more!
Mike: Don’t you mean: “No more, eh”?
Crow (Laughs): Good one, man! They are SO stupid!
Tom: Stop it now! Instead, let us offer our Northern brothers and sisters this song of tribute!
(Music starts)
(Singing)
Oh, I wish I was back in old Canada,
A land which I never shall lampoon!
How I pine for the ice covering Lake Manitoba,
And the beauty that is Saskatoon!
Mike (spoken): I got one.
(Singing)
Oh, I wish I was stuck in the hills of Alberta,
Drinking beer with some big dumb guy trapping fur!
Tom (spoken): Hey!
Mike (singing):
As he scraped and chistled all the moose dung off his boots,
I would learn that he’s the Prime Minister!
Tom (spoken): Oh, stop that!
Crow (singing):
Oh, I wish I was in the land gave us Peter Jennings,
Alanis Morisette, Mike Meyers, too!
Tom (spoken): Yeah!
Crow (singing):
No, I take that back, I wouldn’t go there even if you paid me,
Oh, Canada, you are a place I must eschew!
Tom (spoken): Now, this is NOT in the spirit I intended!
Mike: Oh, come on, give in! I mean, after all, they gave us Ed the Sock and Rush!
Crow: Yeah, what are you defending? They’re such feebs!
Tom: Okay, I’ll try!
Mike: All right! Good man!
Tom (singing):
Oh, I wish I was blowing up Prince Edward Island,
And going on to bomb Ontario!
The destruction of Canada and all of its culture,
Is by far my fav-o-rite scenario!
Mike (spoken): Okay, that’s a little strong…
Tom (interrupting, spoken): No, no, you were right, Mike, this is much more fun!
(Singing)
Just where the hell does Canada get off sharing a border
With countries far superior to it?
Crow (spoken): Yikes!
Tom (singing):
Why, you lousy, stinking, francophonic, bacon-loving bastards,
Your country’s just a giant piece of sh…(Mike leaps on Tom and covers his mouth with his hand, while he and Crow shout “Hey! Woah! Woah!”)
Mike (spoken): I think that’s enough. I think we’ve… Cambot, (Music stops) okay, thanks. All right.
Tom (sobbing): I’m sorry! I have no sense of proportion! I’m a disgrace to my uniform!
Mike: No, no, that’s okay, calm down. Mustn’t hate! Mustn’t hate!
Crow: At least so overtly.
Mike: Exactly, right. Must disguise our hate, just a little. (Commercial sign light goes on) Okay, we’ll be right back. (To Tom) It’s okay, now, Dudley.
Tom (still sobbing): Pardonez moi! Pardonez moi!
(cut)
Master Ninja theme song!
Oh, the Canada Song is one of my FAVORITES!!!
Still, the best has to be The Janitor Song and Tubular Boobular.
And I will never give up Godzilla Genealogy Bop.
