"The Queen!"

 

*crash*

 

The timing of that line alone always cracks me up.

[Guest Smues]

"He is the Puma Man he can get out of a car going 3 miles an hour!"

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"Ha a steering column plunged through his chest. That's great!"

[Guest netslob]

"What'd you say you do, the Sandwich Man?"

 

that's an actual line of dialodge...what conversation was this douche listening to? how do you get 'sandwich' out of 'puma'?

[devo 0]

That entire scene is just amazingly confusing. They never bothered to explain who that guy was, how Tony knows him, or why he wasn't freaked out at someone just popping into his personal firetruck.

Escape 2000, only contested by the Deathstalker movie so far as best Pre-SciFi Mike episodes go:

 

Crusading Reporter woman: And the GC corporation sucks!

 

(press corps turns back to the CEO after the woman is dragged out)

 

Mike: Is that true, do you suck?

[muzz 0]

I wish they'd hurry up with more collections.

 

Space Mutiny probably has the most glaring mistake I've ever seen, where a character is killed, and then appears in the foreground of the next scene.

[Art Sandusky 0]

I dunno dude, a guy making a phone ringing sound with his mouth is pretty sad.

[muzz 0]

True, but there were 3 editors on Mutiny.

 

"Nice of you to give the dead girl another chance."

 

"Ok everyone, look alive! Oh, sorry Susan."

Have either Puma Man or the Giant Spider Invasion been released on DVD yet?

 

I've seen Puma Man once, and really on remember the awkward looking flying sequences. I taped over my copy of Spider Invasion.

Bah. Laserblast, easily.

Sadly neither have. If Puma man ever got a DVD release I could die happy.

String o'random thoughts

 

A couple months ago, there was a poll to see what episodes fans wanted released next (contigent of course upon movie right negotiations). Puma Man topped the list.

 

Best CC-Mike episodes IMO: All of Season 7, Outlaw, Zombie Nightmare, Creeping Terror, and Red Zone Cuba. CC-Mike also had two of my favorite shorts in the entire run of the show, namely the two train shorts.

 

Speaking of CC-Mike era episodes, one time I was going through my university's Wichita picture history site, and came across this photo, promoting a movie that MST fans will recognize (not a standout episode, though)

 

As for a show quote, I'll go way back and pull out some really old quips.

 

Frightened mother: "We want protection for our daughter's wedding"

Joel: "Oh, you should have discussed that with your daughter earlier."

[devo 0]

True, but there were 3 editors on Mutiny.

 

"Passed from editor to editor in a desperate attempt to save it!"

[Art Sandusky 0]

I've noticed that I generally don't like the episodes that most fans do. Laserblast was good, but doesn't hold up well on repeat viewings for me.

 

Right now on the stream they're showing Being From Another Planet, which I love the hell out of but like others that are my favorites it's considered a middle-of-the-road episode. Some choice gags:

 

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Black Moses of Soul."

 

"Two scoops of raisins my ass."

 

Doctor: Do not x-ray Ellen Winters!

Everyone: Doodliedoodliedoodlie...! "It's time to x-ray Ellen Winters!"

 

"Stick to hockey, Wayne!"

[Slayer 0]

That's understandable, as I think Manos (considered by most MSTies as the gold standard of the show) is horrifically overrated.

 

Also, BFAP rocks.

"Invasion Oosa?"

 

 

Actually, the best part of that episode was the short that preceded it, A Date With Your Family.

 

 

"Junior runs a boy cleaning service on the side!"

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

"Emotions are for ethnic people."

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

"You emasculating bint."

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

"Dad, I'm dating a negro! Tee hee!"

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

"Father, I had a feeling today."

 

"Oh, don't, son."

"The Woody Allen Story!"

[Guest netslob]

"Hey, I like my family as a friend!"

[Guest Smues]

Father feins eating, drawing junior out then disowns him!

"The Fifth Element... is this a movie about Boron?"

 

Only funny thing that came out of those SciFi 30-minute specials.

[muzz 0]

Servo [as Narrator]: A violent argument erupts over whose day was more pleasant.

 

Johnny at the Fair is probably my favourite short.

 

Narrator: Johnny can't read the words "Chemical Wonderland".

Joel: Oh, we've all been there.

 

 

[Johnny spots a flying helicopter.]

Narrator: "Oh, boy. A heel-a-copter airplane!"

Servo: What?

Narrator: "Jiminy," thinks Johnny, "if only I could get a ride in one of those."

Servo [as Narrator]: Visions of the Mekong Delta flash before Johnny's eyes.

 

 

[Champion figure skater Barbara Ann Scott gives Johnny a peck on the cheek. Embarrassed, he puts his head on her chest.]

Crow [as Narrator]: "Jiminy," thinks Johnny, "if only I could get a ride in one of those."

[devo 0]

Bump.

 

I thought I had seen the worst films ever made through this show; but The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman rivals even such cinematic trainwrecks as Manos and The Creeping Terror. Just eighty minutes of amazingly bad, stupid, unfunny drivel. The film itself was usually (unintentionally) funnier than the riffing, even though the jokes were pretty good all around.

 

"They just put a bunch of movies in the blender and pressed the mix button!"

 

-------------------------------------------

 

"Our time limit for destroying the device...has run out."

 

"What device? Who are you?!"

 

-------------------------------------------

 

*girls with guns dance around*

 

"This is what the NRA wants the world to look like."

 

-------------------------------------------

 

"Hahaha, this movie's funny, I changed my mind!"

 

"Mike, he's got a funny bow tie under his nose and it's funny!"

 

"They're doing a classic bit! This is great!"

 

"It's fun when it's fun! Ha ha ha!"

[Guest netslob]

"There's funny Cheech Marin in the back!"

 

 

 

and so Muzz doesn't feel left out:

 

"Johnny feels dark hands pressing him forward...the voices in his head get meaner..."

[Guest Smues]

DVD volume 9 was just announced for May 16th:

 

 

104- WOMEN OF THE PREHISTORIC PLANET

207- WILD REBELS

613- THE SINISTER URGE (with short: KEEPING CLEAN AND NEAT)

812- THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME

MIXED-UP ZOMBIES

 

I gotta say that's the most dissappointing volume yet. I doubt I'll bother picking it up.

[Slayer 0]

Good freaking lord... of all the season one episodes to release, they choose that one.

 

I'm with Smues: Crap set.

[devo 0]

The Sinister Urge is pretty good (mostly thanks to its short) and TISCWSLABMUZ is probably in my top ten, so it's not that bad in my eyes. The other two episodes really aren't worth watching more than once or twice.

[Art Sandusky 0]

Wild Rebels doesn't like you either. It's cool.
