I remember one day hearing my father downstairs laughing his ass off. Went down to see what was so funny to find he had just discovered Mystery Science Theater 3000, and was losing it watching The Giant Gila Monster. I sat down to watch. I didn’t really get it then, but I’ve been a fan ever since.
I really love pod people. I introduced mst3k to my friends I made in college my freshman year with this and they didn’t think I was a huge weirdo! Instead they all just fell in love with trumpy.
Came here for Pod People! Agree
Space Mutiny and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank are tied for me. They both still absolutely slay me everytime I put them on. Seasonally appropriate too!
"Sabotaged?! But what of the little children and their toys? "
“Finally, Christmas comes to Santa!”
“So he only dabbles in dopples?”
Hobgoblins, and it’s not even close
Bite your tongue, Manos the Hands of Fate would like a word. An actor literally died from that movie it was so bad.
Time of the Apes
The Final Sacrifice is one of my all-time favorites!! It is the perfect mix of a bad movie that is just the right kind of entertaining and hilarious jokes at the awkward kid, hopeless drunk, and other ridiculous side characters. I think I could watch it literally every day.
Overall favorite is probably The Movie if that counts (not an episode), Werewolf if it doesn’t.
Me and my mum found the movie on late one night and I don’t think we’d ever laughed as hard from something for as long. Our sides were in agony.
The Girl in Lovers Lane… with Jack Elam not Jack LaLanne.
Squirm, I think it’s one of the funniest ones, AND it has the short video about coily, the spring sprite. NOOOOOO SPRINGS! BWEEP-BWOOO!
i can’t remember the name of the movie, but there were 2 aliens who looked like humans and they were causing some sort of trouble… they had the ability to shapeshfit into other humans
i remember there’s a scene where a protagonist steps into an elevator and there’s some young man listening to his walkman. after some time, the young dude starts making these awkward noises because he’s jamming out on his headphones to the music… the protagonist is totally paranoid as he’s not sure if young dude’s really a human being or an alien, so the elevator finally reaches their floor and they try to escape only to get grabbed by the young man and he reveals himself to be the alien…
so the camera pans to the aliens face looking all menacing and one of the MST3K crew says “you didn’t think i could get jiggy with it!?” 🤣
it’s been years so if anyone knows the ep i’m talking about, i’d be extremely grateful so i can watch it again.
Prince of Space
I’m not sure if you count RiffTrax (it’s all the same guys), but their commentary for The Last Airbender (2010) and Twilight leave me in tears every time.
