Also, even after giving her a blonde dye-job, there’s no way they could pass Elinor Donahue off as Mamie Van Doran’s kid sister. ---

> [@txjim](#): > > _Alien from LA_ is probably my #1. Even characters in the movie made fun of Kathy Ireland’s voice. Wish Joel was still around when it came out, however… This one’s an under-appreciated classic “Umm…this door sounds brown” “The whole room smells like my eyes!” Village of the Giants was another great one, especially the sequence when Servo sees his “mom” selling out for pocket change… ---

Every time I drive north out of Florida I always keep an eye out for the bridge across Boggy Creek. Although, being in Florida, I would be more likely to encounter a Skunk Ape than the Boggy Creek Creature. ---

\*\*Warrior of the Lost World \*\* was the episode I would use to introduce people to the show. Probably the most laughable post-apocalypse movie from that early 80’s micro-genre. “MEGA-WEAPON! MEGA WEAPON!” ---

“The Sinister Urge” is another really good minor episode. It’s mainly due to it being by Ed Wood, which is not only funny in its own right, but which also gives M&TB such great riffing material like cross-dressing jokes.
