Oh, look, honey—Torgo has a little altar to Ba’al.

I don't get your reference, but upmodded for effort.

google torgo

Thanks for that. Somehow, in all my years of MST3K viewing, I missed Manos. Off to the video store!

cue the "haunting Torgo theme" music...

ROWSDOWER!

Turkey.

Yeah, well my name is Bill Schtinkwater.

Rowsdower, Rowsdower. Say, is that a stupid name?

Trumpy, you can do stupid things!

Gamera is really neat, Gamera is filled with meat!

He is friend to children!

It's the wrathful Buddha!

Pig snout...passing through...left aorta...

If I hadn't had those 6 sour cream burritos I would have been able to laugh at that.

Watch out for snakes!!!

Johnny Mathis!
Quick get my gun!

manos... the hands of fate. manos... the hands of fate. manos... the hands of fate.

And she's an acrobat Ted.

Where's Mike?
Looks like Joel is trying to out do Rifftrax.
Why can't Mike and Joel just get along?
8
Where's Mike? This may be an unpopular opinion, but the Sci-Fi channel episodes with Mike are by far the best of the bunch.
17
Could not agree more. Don't forget to mention the antics of Pearl (Pehl), Bobo (Murphy), and the Brain Guy (Corbett) were superior to Dr. Forrestor.
8
bullcrap to both of the above. joel + dr f > mike + infinity
14
No way dude...
4
Mike's great, but Joel's the man. Plus, Mike can't even build robots.
3
COMPLETELY.
2
Consider this another vote for Mike, Pearl, et al..."somewhere in time and space"...
8
Mitchell was my favorite movie they did and it had Joel and Mike.
2
Shhh. Twice as much MST3K-esque goodness if they're doing separate gigs.
12
Don't forget Mike, Kevin (Servo) Murphy, and Bill (Crow) Corbett's "Film Crew" DVDs.
Looks like it's now MST times Three! (And that's a GOOD thing.)
7
http://www.filmcrewonline.com/ for those to lazy to google it.
I love their first one.
1
There's actually a third reincarnation of the show too. Whichever guy ended up with the rights to the names is doing some (lame) animated webisodes featuring the 'bots.
edit: here's a rant on the post-MST3k "sell out"

Link?
1
Wish I could find the article/rant on the topic, but they're here: http://mst3k.com/
Click "current event" once you get through the obnoxious flash intro.
2
OMG, this is blasphemy!
1
I like Mike more than Joel. Joel is too sleepy and he treats the robots like kids instead of buddies. Most importantly, I think Mike is funnier.
5
If you enjoyed the original MST3K, might I recommend Riff Trax They are downloadable (drm free) MP3s that you can play while you watch a movie on DVD.
They are absolutely fantastic and star Mike from MST3K. I highly recommend Casino Royale and Starwars II.
7
They made Transformers a bearable movie for me. Some pretty hilarious stuff.
6
Yes! The Master isn't dead the way you know it!

I take care of the place while the Master is away.

"Now, let's see if we can get this on. Um, CD, slash, WP51, return. Ah criminies! Stupid clones! I really miss my Mac. Hey Crow, what's this mean, 'Too many parameters, hyphen, WP51?'"
"What? Oh, you used a forward slash instead of a backslash."
"A what? Oh, oh, okay. CD backslash WP51, return."
"Oh, this is rich! 'Bad command or filename.' Why, they expect you to be a machine to operate this machine!"
"Oh, and I suppose you'd prefer a little animated clown, who would juggle over to the little file cabinet, and then wink at you, and point to the right drawer?"
"Yeah, sure! At least I don't have to have a photographic memory to get my Mac to work! Now here, the problem with the IBM and compatibles is that they lack the elegance and intuitive nature of the Mac. Mac products are reliable, proven and they always work!"
"Oh yeah? What about System 7?"
"IT'S COMING! IT'S COMING! OKAY!? THERE WERE A FEW BUGS IN IT, OKAY!? Boy!"

YESSSSSSSS!!!

If you're looking for Mike Nelson, check out the film crew which has Mike, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbet. They've shipped 4 dvds thus far, with hopefully more to come.

Did you see on You-tube the Rifftracks Holiday Greeting?!!! If you haven't you must see it! But be prepared..I warn you, have a bucket or waste can handy. Fish net stockings will never be the same for me!
1
YAY! Long live the Satellite of Love!
3
yes!

Mitchell, Red Zone Cuba and Manos were classics, but for me, nothing beat The Cave Dwellers.
3
How many times could I watch "Cave Dwellers"? "Just a few dozen more!" from Wong or Thong or Kong or whoever that guy was.
The movie they did was a good one, but I think they could have made it a bit more adult. "'This Island Earth' can be yours if the price is right!!" -Crow.
Perhaps if they bring it back people will understand my notepad header---"Bite me"

Hef, we're all out of evian.
1
Ordered one. Thanks for the link. :)
2
Joel, Mary-Jo, Frank, and... can it be? Josh is back? FUCK YES!
2
I always found Josh Weinstein out of place on MST3K. He's a horrible actor and only a so so riffer.
1
He's not a great actor as anything but himself, but that's all he needed to be for MST3K. I know Frank's a better writer, but I much preferred Josh (as Larry) because he was a competently evil character. I'll have to watch the full DVD to see how much he contributes to this, and if he's come to accept scripted riffing.
1
This is the best news I've heard in a while.
Maybe strong DVD sales could lead to a late night show on Comedy Central?
2
Oh no! We're running out of ALT!
1
Why are the seats split like that? Why are the two guys standing at the top? It's pretty distracting.
1
CHIEF?
1
McLEOD!!
/* Yes, I registered just to reply to you */
2
how many times must i tell you? the canceling of my series has no effect on me!
1
Hurrah!!!!! (uhm... yeah I think I'll just leave it at that..)
1
Yeah, it's called Rifftrax. I watched the teaser for cinema titanic, not all that impressed.
1
I'd still rather see Tom Servo and Crow in front of the screen. Anyone else rather see that too?
Totally. Without the robots, it's like... well, it lacks that je ne sais quoi that I've come to know and love.
sighs
A lot of the charm of MST3K was the interaction between the characters. I fear that the show without the bots will be funny but soulless.
I don't know, I bought some of Mike's rifftrax with the mst3k guys as guests and I didn't even notice they weren't on the screen for the most part, I was laughing just as hard.
THIS IS ... SPART OF A COMPLETE BREAKFAST!
If it doesn't have the bits outside the movie it won't be quite the same, unfortunately.
<confession>I skip over those bits, 98% of the time. </confession>
I just mentally insert the SPACOM infomercial during the boring ones.
