Hey, I’m here, just had to finish one Last Sacrifice.

[Zap_Rowsdower]

Of course thats Final Sacrifice, I’m still asleep.

[brainfizz]

I always wondered what MST3K stood for…

[Smeghead]

Come on, one more sacrifice, please??

Oh, OK, but this is the Final Sacrifice!

Alright I give in. What is this Mystery Science Theatre thing then? (It never got to England).

MST3k was a show that featured Joel and his two robots, stuck
in space and forced to watch REALLY bad films…
The hillarity ensued when the boys, while watching the films would sit and make rude comments about the action going on.
That’s the basic premise, but I’m sure others can give you better details.

The Doctor is on. The Doctor is Happy.

I LOVEMP and I only like MST3K, and I’m not named for either. Just putting in my two cents and not like you care but oh well, I’m stating it anyway for the record, so ha!!!
“Naughty, bad, evil Zoot!”

I didn’t know that – and I’ve seen the movie.

**I don’t know if it falls into the same league as MST3K or MP, but I believe that the collected works of Douglas Adams have quite a following.

i.e. HeartOfGold
and Zaphod? <–I think I’ve seen this one. **

Interesting. I wouldn’t recognize Douglas Adams references, so I can’t count the names related to him. I might have thought HeartOfGold was a Neil Young reference.

**Nuveena is from the MST3K episode with the GM short, Design for Dreaming. **

Well, as they said at the end of “Skydivers,” Nuveena, feel free to warp on in here any time.

And, of course, you mentioned him in the OP. :smack:

Yes, but he hadn’t checking in yet when you posted.

Well, I always wondered how eels got into a hoverboat in the middle of the El Paso desert.

As DrMemory noted, it was a series in which characters – who were supposedly trapped in a mad scientist’s experiment – were forced to watch bad movies, so they provided a running commentary on them.

Several episodes are available on VHS and DVD. If you’re curious, I’d recommend the perennial favorite, “Manos, The Hands of Fate,” from which Torgo takes his name.

“So, where do we start?”

“At goofy clown face.”

Heh…great movie.

I’m a huge fan of both. However, my name came from a coffee shop…so…ummmm…
