That's the one where Robocop in bondage gear hosts right?

I don't think so. For the first few seasons it was hosted by a guy named Joel and after Joel left it was hosted by Mike.

I'll just wait till they make a new season, I hate having to go back and start from the beginning. How's the animation, is it CGI?

No animation. It's all live action. And there are no new seasons. It's done.

Here, this episode's considered the best:

This is great! They should make a movie!:hypno

They did. The movie they rifted in it was called "This Island Earth". The problem was, they had to make it really short for some reason and had to cut some good stuff (for example, in the movie these scientists name a cat "Neutron" "because he's so positive!" but it was cut)

It is really funny though, and I reccomend it.

nah, looks pretty shitty if you ask me. Prob never going to watch it.

I was trying t watch it, but those guys kept talking over the movie. WTF? Can you mute them on the dvd?

That's the point of the series. The movies are really bad and the guy and robots make fun of it.

Maybe if there were 2 guys and a robot that might work. Or some kind of talking monkey or something.

You guys have no taste.

I taste delicious. That's what....

Yeah. The mad scientists ("Mads") needed one human to test the movies on and the first guy made the robots himself for company. Ironically, he used parts to make them that would have allowed him to start and stop the movie.

Hahahha, seriously? He must have been super bored to make robots. What did he use, a gumball machine for parts?

Why doesn't he just leave or close his eyes?

Dr. Forrester has various punishments for Joel/Mike not watching the movies, including shutting off the oxygen and electrically shocking him. And yes, I know those are fatal but the series tended to have the audiences suspend belief. As the opening song says "Remember this is just a show. You should really just relax"

Interestingly, a deleted scene in the movie nearly has Mike die of air loss, but that's because the oxygen tank breaks and not because of Forrester.

Oh, and he did seem to use a gumball machine to make Tom Servo. One of Joel's characteristics was that he was a tinkerer and inventor. He worked as a janitor for Forrester, but the scientist didn't like him so Joel was shot into space as a test subject. It's possible that he's smarter than the Mads.

If he's up in space how does the forrester see him? Did he make a camerabot too?

Yes. Forrester has these monitors that watch the subject. There's also a cambaot that Joel created that's supposed to be the one the audience is watching through.

This is a terrible conversation

I bet the show doesn't have any gypsies though.

Probably in some of the movies it did. It did have a weird saytr-type guy name Torgo (taken from Manos: Hands of Fate)

Not even any gypsy robots?

Or birds?

guys can we stop pretending to not know what mst3k is already

The Giant Gila Monster. It was awesome! Who can resist cheesy lines like "Get me some o' that sodee pop!" And... well... giant animals destroying cities is always cool! Not to mention, the director also made The Killer Shrews, a cult classic that ranks up with of Godmonster of Indian Flats.
