I have just become obsessed with Mystery Science Theater 3000

I have gone off the deep end. I am completely hooked and I want everyone to know.

Oh by the way..... Its the show where a man and his robot friends make fun of cheesey movies in case you didn't know.

Spent a bunch of time watching MST3K videos back in the '90's.
MST3K rocks.

I love that sassy robot.

Its funny, but too slow for me sometimes.

I gotta give it a try again

I loved that they didn't care how obscure their references were. This meant a few always went over my head each episode, but also meant that several of them were completely hilarious to me.

Great show. I've mentioned this a couple time, but MST3k was the inspiration for my friends and I to occasionally get together for a "bad movie party". Lotsa fun.

Mike is doing riff trax these days that are also hilarious.

And about the references....... some fly right over my head but one time Tom Servo referenced Tom Waits and I knew this was the show for me.

The movie was hysterical. They actually did a theatrical release of one back in the 90s and it was superb. It's nearly impossible to find though.

I've been watching MST3K so long as I can remember... most of the references flew way over my head when I was 5 years old

but, in re-watching them, I'm getting more and more of them!

Naturekev · #14 07-13-2009, 06:25 PM

I only taped a few episodes, and I've watched them all repeatedly. I need to acquire more. I miss that show.

bassjamn · #15 07-13-2009, 06:31 PM

Shows only good up until joel left imo!

Mike was the head writer even when Joel was the face, so it's not like the jokes really changed at all.

ah Really, did not know he was behind the scenes.
There was something about Mike's joke delivery / demeanor did not connect with me.

Love that show. My brother is a hard core fan and he has nearly every episode on VHS so I can borrow one from him when I want. I think I've probably seen 3/4 of the episodes by now.

My brother went to the MST3K fan convention and he took tons of pictures of the cast and crew and a lot of the fans. There is a group photo of everyone who showed up dressed as Mr. B. Natural.

Remember him/her?

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CLEAN YOUR HORN, BUZZ!

Even though I think both of them are hilarious, I also liked Joel better than Mike - something about Joel's deadpan delivery.

But for most people it's just the opposite.

Have loved the show for years. I have maybe 45 episodes on VHS. It would be nice if a cable station would pick it up and show the old episodes, there's a lot worse stuff in rotation on some of the cable networks.
