The older Joel ones are the best, I think. But I was on the bandwagon pretty early and of course what first makes you fall in love is always the best and nothing really compares. Available on YouTube, I bring you “Indestructible Man.” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/GXJ_g-5A8ZQ/hqdefault.jpg "MST3k 409 - The Indestructible Man") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXJ_g-5A8ZQ) I do have a lot of affection for “Stinky Shorts” as well. List here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/KjLR7cVTrfw?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PL3HS4YXz_WKOAxERGFXEG9g8rI629LiFT Some of my favorites: “Mister B-Natural,” of course! "Johnny Goes To The Fair." https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cn00ynJaOrk?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PL3HS4YXz_WKOAxERGFXEG9g8rI629LiFT I liked The Invention Exchange too. SPECIAL BONUS! Only aired once: SCTV, "The Cisco Kid." your humble TubaDiva ---

There’s just too many good episodes to pick out a single favorite. ---

Although I’m more of a Joel fan, \*Alien from LA \*ranks as my #1 feature. I don’t know if Kathy Ireland was intentionally bad or just a victim of her first acting gig but this Road Warrior-like movie hits on all cylinders. [Junior Rodeo Daredevils](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ngHJkAMfkw) is my favorite but _Mister B-Natural_ mentioned above has got to be the most ill-conceived educational-promotional short ever filmed! ---

“Here Comes the [del]Devil[/del] Circus!” (I’m a bad clown!) Followed closely by “Hired!” (What’s with the guy with the hanky on his head?) Feature length: “The Giant Gila Monster.” ---

I’m thinking Pod People. It also has probably my favorite host segment “Music From Some Guys in Space”. As someone who used to listen to Hearts of Space (still would if they had a free podcast), they completely nailed everything about that show. ---

One of my favorites is **The Day The Earth Froze** partly because the source film is so oddball. I also like the one where they keep calling the guy names like ‘Slab McBeefrock’ and ‘Biff McTankPecs’. Can’t think of the name of it, though. ---

Gamera vs. Guiron. I believe this was my first MST3K episode. At first I was annoyed at Joel and the bots yapping, but then it clicked and I fell in love! ---

> [@G0sp3l](#): > > Space Mutiny is also my probable favorite, but I love [Prince of Space](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcAa2pRoV6E) and [Touch of Satan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZebKhabJItE) almost as much!!! :D:D:D:D:D I love their Touch of Satan song! Some of my favorites are “The Final Sacrifice” (“Rowsdower!!”), “Manos, Hands of Fate”, and “Final Justice.” Also if we can branch out to Rifftrax, “Breaker, Breaker!” was pretty hilarious and I kinda sorta liked the movie as well. ---

ANY MST3K with Japanese monsters in it is sublime. I WISH I could get enthused over the later episodes. I WISH I could dig it now. Not as much fun and I don’t know why. ---

The funniest moment I remember was one with a giant spider and a middle-aged couple running from it. The woman may have been a former star, because as she tripped and fell they said “There goes the last shred of my dignity!” ---

The woman may have been a former star, because as she tripped and fell they said “There goes the last shred of my dignity!” “Giant Spider Invasion,” which also gave us “Wooooooo Packers win the Super Bowl!” That episode, along with “Final Sacrifice,” are my favorites. > [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > Thank you for the tips…I haven’t seem some of these, haven’t watched **Mitchell** in years, and agree that the shorts often outshine the features. My favorite being the one with the Zoo Hunter working in the Everglades, with many of the riffs involving rooting for the animals, plus “I am SO ASHAMED of my species right now.” Catching Trouble! The star, Ross Allen, had a “Reptile Institute” (roadside attraction in Florida) that featured plenty of animals and a supposed recreation of a Seminole Indian Village, which looks uncomfortably like a human zoo in the old promotional clips I’ve seen on YouTube.
