MST3K 0610 - The Violent Years (1/10)

[thefaboloussob]

I'm very pleased that "The Violet Years" is on the new Vol. XXII of "Mystery Science Theater 3000". 4 haters? Well...so what? AHHH! Servo thinks he's a real boy!

[CrystalJupiter]

"I FEEL ILL."

Lol. I love Gypsy.

[ferretgirl24]

It was written by Ed Wood so grab your favorite pair of pumps and have a ball!

[wrght9185]

Does anyone know where the music for Mike's theme song came from? It sounds very familiar.

[rdcharm040]

@wrght9185 The beginning of it sounds like part of the song "Mars: The Bringer of War" by Gustav Holst

[wrght9185]

@rdcharm040 Thanks for the reply. Crow made such a hash of the tune that it is hard to hear it well. I jumped when I heard it because it sounds very similar to a piece of music used in the 1963 "Jason and the Argonauts". That is a favorite childhood movie of mine.

[skystarless]

Mike is adorable.

[eclowell]

Servo's human head = good ol' fashioned nightmare fuel

[nimanima777]

Teehee, i'm horny!

[SpiderxBlue]

Ed Woods and Jam Handy. *Shudder*

[METALizAWESOME1]

ED WOOD NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[Hndshks]

Thanks for the upload!

[farrarjr3]

MST3K Has gotten me through a lot of hard times. I could always count on them to make me laugh. I love those guys!

[Yapshire]

@farrarjr3 Agreed!!!

[Applemask]

GLORIOUS TOM SERVO

[ChaoticYak]

@Applemask I'm not sure which version is better: the original Carmina Burana or TOOOOOOM SERVO!

[textthing]

@ChaoticYak

Servo's. I dislike Carmina Burana.

[kingpojo1]

You're doing gods work by posting all these vids. :P

[BeethovenVEVO]

Thank you for posting this, man.

Keep circulating the tapes! The tapes must flow!

[Ziggy7789]

Crow just keeps spazzing when they see Tom Servo…

[JamesOhGoodie]

6:25 Mmmyup. The ONLY appropriate response to Ed Wood films.

[crimsontowers]

this short ranks up there with the best..my favorite will always be 'billy at the fair' or whatever it was called though, it was dark as hell

"a shot rings out, visions of the Mekong Delta flash before his eyes"

"the drugs from the chemical wonderland start to kick in,..."

[napalmnacey]

Hehehe. Electric range! Electric dryer! Shit, it's crazy to think that they had to do it differently before they motorised everything.

[jekblom123]

I love servo chasing crow around with his disembodied head

[OneThousandWorlds]

Tom Servo has become pure nightmare fuel.

[StrawberryShounen]

I liked it. Especially that one part.

[EmilyDNelson]

I love that Tom's theme is to Carmina Burana. ...

[TheRadical42]

@EmilyDNelson Kewl Beanz! I was going to say the same thing but I looked a bit to see if anyone had commented yet, and there you are. : D

-I haven't finished the show yet here but I would like to hear ALL of Tom's song, because Carmina Burana has that fantastic epic earth shaking ending.

[MisterSynyster]

1. Apparently humans only speak English?

2. No one balks at Alex being a "woman-hater"

[DirtyMikeballin]

i love the length of the theme song

[NeoSilvanus]

this is so shitty quality i cant even understand what they are saying

[krazednconfused]

i love the deep13 "love theme" with frank and dr. f, hahaha. so catchy.

[KillerHelix]

2:14 is the scariest face Mike's probably ever made on this show.

[jrmarrero96]

Three people who disliked this could never even get to second base with a girl like Judy, Judy, Judy!!!

[mediageneration65]

They should bring this back on tv.

[bojanks15]

@mediageneration65 i would totally start watching scify again if they brought it back on, even if it was just on friday nights or something like that would be cool.

[HayesAJones]

"Big~ger than life! Big~ger than YOU!"

"... hey!"

[realmontgomeryfan]

Cool even Mike wears All stars, i wonder if it's standard issue footwear on space satellites...

[kaejae24]

He is my soulmate

[bloodrunsclear]

'...little friends'

I can't hear that without laughing thanks to the MST3K Poopies XD

[nappytownkid]

I miss this show alot

[uuuultra]

Tom Servo is the best

[jmcginnis86]

Tom Servo's song = 2 good for everyone.

[prettysplash5bell]

best song ever!

[jekblom123]

I love Tom chasing Crow around with his disembodied head.

[darkaardvark7]

nice converse dude

[Theburn77]

"tee-hee, I'm horny!"

[Dextersmama]

"Is she blind" lol

[TeenageNintendoGamer]

Ed wood?!? Noooooooooo!!!

[psycotigerman]

Tom Servo seems to have a bit of Serj Tankai in him

[bobdolesrevenge]

"Book Gook?" Isn't that kind of racist?

[GoblinXXX]

@bobdolesrevenge Only if his name was Alexander Wang.

[s1lverfalcon]

@bobdolesrevenge I just figured she was just trying to rhyme with "book". Anyway, I think this short was made too early. Wikipedia says the term only became widespread as a racial slur around the time of the Vietnam War.

[LeshaAnn]

@s1lverfalcon My grandfather was in World War II and Korea, and he said "Gook" and "Slope" and "Zipperhead" all the time... I am positive that 'gook' was shamefully common in the conversational parlance of the American G.I. in the 1950's (a.k.a. The Korean War era)...

[s1lverfalcon]

@LeshaAnn True, but you can hardly claim this girl was a GI. And it would be quite an extrapolation to assume she knows any, given the fact that this is a badly-written short intended to sell electrical appliances. I think the simplest explanation is that the writer was trying to make her sound like his idea of a 50's teen girl (hence all the other stupid "squishy" things she says).

[LeshaAnn]

@s1lverfalcon Of course I don't think that the ditz in question was supposed to be spouting a racist ideology! I'm crazy, but not THAT far gone... Just answering the Wrongipedia schtuff.

[Shadowlynk]

@s1lverfalcon Appliances? That's what this short was about? I always wondered... seriously, Once Upon a Honeymoon was easier to figure out than this short. <_<

[RetroToledo]

@LeshaAnn Wouldn't surprise me.

[LeshaAnn]

@LeshaAnn But I don't think THIS old-timey broad was being racist, necessarily: Maybe she was halfway between saying "geek" and "kook!"

[Neogeneticgrowth]

Turns the radio off at the headlines? Lol worldly affairs are left for man

[MoonBurgle]

what's a "book gook" ?

[miamorphos]

i just love bacon all crispy like this -- YEAH EVIDENTLY

[101superchao]

why did not do plan 9 than

[customcartoons]

Crow launches straight into traumatized sobs without so much as passing Go! ^_^

[liggytheauthoress]

crow's theme song = BEST. EVAR.

i wish he'd write one for me =/

[dabulls108]

mom, whats sex?

[illuminatioracle]

i used to sit next to the book gooks whenever there was a math test because you knew they were the best in it.

[TheGoodMan19]

tee hee, I'm horny.

[t0t3n3ng3l]

All hail Tom Servo.

[DaKilla27]

@MrKinkypanther ...

TAKE

A

JOKE

MY GOOD SIR

[limbdarkening]

I always thought Crow was a cute robot and I wanted him for a pet.

[Ryoku75]

@limbdarkening Get a bowling pin, a stick, something for eyes, and some tupperware and you can make your own.

[Nezbitt]

Cary Grant and Seinfeld is a potentially horrifying combination. In which case Crow's reaction is pretty appropriate. 

[EternalGuardian07]

Frank and Dr. F are hilarious!

[MichaelBradfordPoet]

Mom, what's sex?

Classic!

[CrunchyPen]

"La la la la la.... crow."

Best theme song ever.

[DaKilla27]

amazing to think they BOTH had a budget of $100, MST3K and Ed Wood.

[evilegg288]

@DaKilla27 Np prizes for guessing who made better use of their budget...

[illuminatioracle]

is a book gook the chinese kid you sit next to in math class when there's a test?

[newsy214]

I love Tom Servo's self-glorifying song, Bwahahahaha!!

[Megatenist]

@newsy214

I want that as a ringtone!

[crimsontowers]

@newsy214 hahahahha it is the mightiest theme ever

[thevintagerose]

I love Tom Servo.

[TheGizmofromPizmo]

I thought the way to get ahead was to give head...

[ScorpiusRaven]

lol, servo's head is Mike as a bot in Prince of Space

[singitjohnny]

I'm with Crow: New Tom Servo is downright traumatizing.

[watda74]

The Season 6 segments were just absolutely insane, but this one...X-D

-Ed Wood?? NOOOOOOO!!!

[ErinIsPunk]

When I read the title of this video, I thought it was gonna be a horror movie....

[AlanSessler]

Tom Servo would give Jack Black a run for his money!

[oscarX]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­AHAHAHHHHHHH!!!!



[cuttock]

Cary Grant LMAO!!

[LeviathanoftheDanube]

LMFAO - I love how Crow hauls ass when Mike pops Servo's new head off - omg too funny!

[eviljoel]

Oh, and Frank and Forrester are such an adorable couple.

[eviljoel]

My personal favorite is definitely Night of the Blood Beast (complete with Once Upon a Honeymoon, of course) but that's mostly because I actually kinda like the movie itself and it was one of my first.episodes. This show had so many great episodes.

[crazyfunny23]

i don't feel bad about watching this on youtube instead of hulu because i heard that hulu dosen't give back any revenue to their shows

[UpSky2]

9:05 f - "I like my bacon tall, dark, and crispy!"

[Ututwhynot]

@ gypsy "i feel ill" hahaha she reallly does have the best one liners

[ajnutable]

ED WOOD? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!(I Have edwoodaphobia!)

[MST3K1986]

If you looked up the term "Heterosexual Life Partner's" there would certainly be a picture of Dr.F and Frank...Though the "Heterosexual" part could up for debate.

[AMisplacedBoy]

♪ ♫ Magnificat Tom Servo ♪ ♫

[AMisplacedBoy]

"We're softening to reach a wider audience."

[ValoFilthc3]

creepy servo...... I need an adult.

[W4RLoL87]

wtf? why was crow crying?

[customcartoons]

the shift from chasing screaming puppets around to Frank and Forrester singing was awesumly random! ^_^

[devospud]

poor crow looked seriously traumatized there :(

[AJTazesYou]

at 6:29 crow says "ED WOOD?! NOOOO! I HAVE ANGORAPHOBIA!" thumbs if you got the reference.

[IHateOnPeopleHella]

@AJTazesYou i don't get it? is it from another episode?

[einomega]

@IHateOnPeopleHella No. It is references to Angora, a type of wool that Ed Wood Jr. had an obsession for and Agoraphobia a type of anxiety disorder.

[IHateOnPeopleHella]

@einomega right right... haha thats pretty clever

[AJTazesYou]

@IHateOnPeopleHella Ed Wood was famous for having somewhat of an angora fetish. angora is a certain fabric that he would wear while dressing like a woman.

[ScrewLimbBizkit]

@AJTazesYou

I'm only 16, so even though I get a good chunk of the pop culture references and jokes they make, there is still about 1/10th that goes right over my head.

It's just like watching cinema snob.

But hey, I get most of the jokes, so I ain't complaining. The show is still hilarious.

[GoblinXXX]

@ScrewLimbBizkit I'm 46, and I don't get ALL the jokes. I doubt if anyone does-- But MST informs as well as entertains. I had no idea who Estes Kefauver was until I looked him up due to an MST3k reference.

And the best thing is, we can enjoy it on our new electric computers!

[bowieluver1]

@AJTazesYou What's the reference supposde to be?

[AnnaKin]

@bowieluver1 Ed Wood wore angora sweaters. He liked to crossdress and that was one of the items he wore.

[PsychoJosh]

@AJTazesYou I didn't get it, what was it?

[honeyandgold]

@PsychoJosh Ed Wood was a cross dresser. Angora is a soft wool.

[purpleshamrock17]

The Howdy Doody head and the Hugo the puppet from "Devil Doll" are def. two of the creepiest heads I've seen on MST3K.

4:15-4:56 Lol, oh Tom...

I think I like Mike's theme song the best!

"I just love bacon crispy and crunchy like this...yeah, evidently"

"Tee hee, I'm horny!"

[jessesgirl10]

@308hitman308 The head is Howdy Doody. Howdy Doody was from a children's show way back in the day.

[RetroToledo]

@jessesgirl10 No, that's Charlie McCarthy. I had one of those puppets!

[308hitman308]

i had a nightmare when i was little and the puppet head on tom was in it. Haunted me for years... what is that ventriloquist face from?

[Gjeorje]

"Alex is a great guy, he has little time for girls. He is quite the woman hater. Tell Judy to keep her grimy little paws off my friend. He is going to be a construction worker....or a cowboy, or a cop, or a red indian...."

[yaywhewclips242]

servo w/ a head is very disturbing, funny opening skit!

[StuckeyMurdog]

mst3k should do good movies too, like 2001 or the godfather

[tripoli911]

Rifftrax does stuff like that (rifftrax.com)

[roetheboat1]

@tripoli911 Rifftrax is done by the same people who did MST3k

[L8DSheena]

@StuckeyMurdog they did do casablanca via rifftrax...not sure how that one turned out hthough

[crazypants88]

@StuckeyMurdog I've seen them riff good movies, and for me doesn't work. For example in the matrix rifftrax I was more interested in what was happening in the movie then what the rifftrax guys were saying.

[kerryoke68]

@crazypants88 I agree and at the other end of the spectrum, some movies are so bad that even though the rifftrax are great, I suffer sitting through it. You know who you are Collossus vs the Headhunters. :)

[crazypants88]

@kerryoke68 Haha yeah for me it's the version of Hamlet they had to endure once in MST3K. I've never been able to sit through it.

[Scarpsad]

@kerryoke68

ooooh Colossus vs Headhunters yeah that one I couldn't even watch in one siting, and I love the Manos and Red Zone Cuba episodes.

[Scarpsad]

@kerryoke68

Though is still say Monster A Go Go is the most painfull movie ever

[kerryoke68]

@Scarpsad LOL absolutely I agree Monster A Go Go is a stink bomb. Manos is great. I think my favorite is Soul Takers. I literally cried laughing so hard through most of it. I wish I could have attended the rifftrax tonight. I have a brother who is there. I went to Plan 9 when it was live in the theatre. It was hilarious!

[Scarpsad]

@kerryoke68

Heh Soul Takers is pretty good isn't it, I'd have to say my favorite will always be "MITCHELL" that opening credit sequence with still shot Joe Don Baker always has me rolling over in laughter no matter how many times I see it.

[Ryoku75]

@StuckeyMurdog What could you say about 2001 in a riffing sense?

[EchoBoomer1987]

I'd like to see a Broadway play that casts Tom Servo, Picard, and Mordin the scientist Salarian!

[wolfxbloed]

2.41 MST3K brought to you by Converse.

The head bit is one of the most epic MST openings. EVER.

[SGTxBingus]

This whole short is just one long product placement scene

[QuikVidGuy]

So, this is the same guy who played Joel, right?

[GreenGearMood]

HIIIIIIII MIIIIIIIIKE.

This is my first time watching one of Mike's episodes. :s

[Isaiah40V24]

book gook?

[KaterzTheMSTie]

Man, it's been, how long? *checks last comment* It's been 7 months and I STILL love this episode! :)

[agrus001]

"speak english like normal human beings"...

[lobsopdoy]

WON-DER-FUL TOM!

[AnnoyingSquib]

Forrester: And when the world is enchanted with our whimsy, We'll slowly take over their minds.

Like Oprah! O.O

[ishouldplayzelda]

yay, this one has mike! it's not that i don't like joel but mike is just better at this.

[agrus001]

@ishouldplayzelda mike is just sexier!! admit that's what you mean lol

[ishouldplayzelda]

@agrus001 fine. i have dreams of mike! lol jk

[LeshaAnn]

@agrus001 - It's CERTAINLY what I mean!

[634devil]

Mike's trying so hard not to bust out laughing in the opening host segment.

[jfauch2]

wow, one of the few I've never seen. A nice find!

[Iamthesouljacow]

OK, During Robot Roll Call, Does Cambot say " Kill yourself"???

[sarty]

@Iamthesouljacow "Show Yourself"

[NUTCASE71733]

@Iamthesouljacow

no

[ChaoticYak]

I know what it is, Mike, you're threatened by my good looks. Is that it? Is that it?

Yeah, that's it.

[Gojiralee]

That IS am electric iron! Its your lucky day

[doomtigger]

MUM WHATS SEX ? CLASSIC

[Theburn77]

i love the song at the beginning

[crescentfreshbret]

@Theburn77 The one the mads sing? That's the best MST3K song I've ever heard.

[Theburn77]

@crescentfreshbret yeah, it's great stuff

[GhostRiderBaby88]

OMG@tom's new  head...creepyyy ROFL.

[BigZluster]

Rocking the converse, nice mike

[wattamack4]

This was the first Mike episode I saw.

Tom's new head is just... O_o

[lovelyladie345]

glorious tom servo...lol

[GhostRiderBaby88]

@lovelyladie345 i love his song lol.

[dominatrixbabydoll]

oh no! this is the most disturbing ed wood jr movie? mommy, i'm frieghtened! lol

[ProfessorMoriartyx]

"Julie, I do wish you'd speak English like normal human beings." Or clones thereof. Did people EVER speak like this?!

[Lunarwill]

Tom Servo ripped of Carmina Baruna for his theme song.

[Korolev61]

CROOOW!

"Bat guano!"

[CaptEoNinja83]

When tom appears with his new 'look', I love how Crow's reaction grows in intensity and his eyes rolling back in sheer horror. And he's right, it's so SICK and WRONG!!!

[ExclusiveCheese]

It's so hard to understand what the people in the short are saying. The audio quality sucks, even for the 40s.

[DrPoon]

ahhhaha!

Crow hauls ass when tom's head pops off.

lmao!

[ChaoticYak]

Mike, mike, mike, m-m-m-m-mike!

[andoconda585]

POOR CROW i guess crow is now scared for life because of Tom :P

[Persphonefallen]

He throws back his head in terror....god now I'm scared for life O_0

[AlexandriaM]

"Ed Wood? Nooooo!"

[popecorkyI]

"I have Angoraphobiaaaaa!!!!!"

[colashanacogh]

calling the intro gay would be an understatement.

[paulonthepiano]

Is she blind lmao
