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.

“Manos! The hands of fate.“ I’ve corrupted my wife to the point where either of us will just blurt it out now when we talk about hands
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.
The Puma Man! With the power to rear project buildings from his arse!
Each man is a god each man is free…Which is why we worship aliens whose only power is to give one man a problematic outfit and a bad accent.

Mitchell is a go to for me.
Joel’s snowy farewell, Mike narrowly missing death, and it got the cast/crew physically threatened by Joe Don Baker.
FYI for anyone just reminded of the show: !mst3k@lemmy.world
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.
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!
Sidehackers
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 always had a fondness for the Gumby: Robot Rumpus short.
- Time of the Apes
- Santa Claus (the one with Pitch the demon)
- Godzilla vs Megalon
- Mitchell
- War of the Colossal Beast (just for the Mr B Natural short)
- The Day the Earth Froze
Time of the Apes
“I don’t care!”
Johnny doesn’t care. Should you?
MST3K hasn’t really held up for me. I don’t find it even little-chuckle funny anymore, but I remember Space Mutiny making my teenaged self laugh the hardest.
P.S. Bill Corbett was the only funny one in the entire history of that show. ducks and runs
