Your All-Time Favorite MST3K Episode

[Guest Michael Joel Benoit]

What is your #1 favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode? The one episode you love from top to bottom. The one where you laugh every second. The movie segments, the host segments, are, in your opinion, the most memorable. The one you will always remember.

 

For me, my favorite MST3K episode was Invasion of the Neptune Men. Sure, the movie itself is absolutely horrible, but they did an excellent job of riffing it. I love everything about it. From Pearl in Rome, to the wretched dubbing in the film, to Mike and the 'bots coming out of the theater because they couldn't take the film anymore. I love it. I have seen that episode about 34 times and I still laugh. It is, IMO, the perfect Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode.

 

So what is your favorite?

Well I actually have two, both alter on in the series (I only watched the last 3 seasons or so). Parts: The Clonus Horror and Time Chasers. Two awful, AWFUL movies that Mike and the bots gleefully tear to shreds.

Sadly I never really caught the show durring the Joel era...so I'm going to have to go with "I was a Teenage Werewolf," And the two Japanese "Prince From Space" or whatever they were.

I Accuse My Parents

 

Soultaker-just to see Joel and Mike on the same episode (together, not like how they were during the Mitchell episode) was a markout moment.

 

Mitchell

I would have to say that I'm a Mike man myself. I loved when they did the short about the phone company from the World's Fair in Seattle. It was a nice change of pace and I think branching out like that more with mini documentaries and such would have been an interesting track to take.

 

One of my favorite bits from the show has to be at the end of Werewolf where they sing random song lyrics over the closing credits theme. "Tusk!"

[Guest Smues]

God this question is tough, if I HAD to narrow done a couple I'll saw Santa Claus Conquers the Martians and Star Force: Fugitive Alien 2 from the Joel years, The short once upon a honeymoon from the mike CC years, and PUMA Man and Overdrawn at the memory bank from the sci-fi years.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Overdrawn at the memory bank from the sci-fi years.

Oh for the love of tits...how could someone actually write up this movie and think it was worth making?

[Guest Zack Malibu]

Raul Julia must have really need the money.

[Guest Luke Cage]

Sorry, gotta cheat here. Too many great episodes for me to pick just one.

 

Hobgoblins

Space Mutiny

Manos

Godzilla vs Megalon

Time Chasers

Red Zone Cuba

Bride Of The Monster

Deathstalker

Incredible Melting Man

Fire Maidens From Outer Space

 

Those just came to me...

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Overdrawn at the Memory Bank was made by some PBS station, I believe one in Seattle. I actually remember reading about the behind the story of it once, but forget the specifics.

[Guest Michael Joel Benoit]

Actually it was made by the PBS affiliate in New York. Pearl mentions it before the movie begins in that episode. She finishes it up with one of my favorite lines from MST3K: The movie stars Raul Julia, a very wonderful actor. What was he doing starring in this piece of sh..surely fine form of entertainment."

[Guest Retro Rob]

Manos: The Hands of Fate

 

Nothing will ever touch that one in my eyes.

[Guest Eagan469]

The Touch Of Satan

 

"this is where the fish live!"

Probably someone be who can write

[Guest MrRant]

Cocksucker. That is spelled right.

[Guest El Satanico]

I think my favorite is Mitchell or any that had Joe Don Baker starring in them.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

The Human Hand. With the Skipper.

Dirty liberal hippies.

 

Anyway, there are a lot of great episodes, but Manos is just too weird and bad, making it the perfect MST3K movie.

Invasion of the Neptune Men-"TAKE ME AWAY, LITTLE PANTS!"

Invasion of the Giant Spiders, much?-"You couldn't tell horse crap from rice crispies." Servo: "Snap, Crackle, Poop!"

Oh man...Hobgoblin was classic, too.

I still love "Pod People." When they record that damn song...holy shit, I cracked up like nobody's business.
