Trace Beaulieu really shines in this skit. He definitely was my favorite performer in MST3K. I can't stand to see an episode without him. That's why I don't watch the Sci-Fi Channel years. I watched 'Horrors of Spider Island' and didn't really laugh at all, not knowing why until it was too late. Live and learn, I guess.
This show has special significance for people from Minnesota/Wisconsin. So many jokes that are only relative to us! n yes thises bout d waey some peepl tak up ere y'know.
I'm just going to throw this out there so the world can tell me if I'm crazy or not, but... EVERYONE on this show was great! Josh cracks me up as Larry, especially with him and Dr. F's "THANK YOU" bit everytime Joel tells them they've taken something special and turned it evil. I honestly CAN'T say that anyone on this show was better than the replacement, or likewise the other way around. Everyone involved brought greatness to the table, and show excelled because of it.
@detrius82 I mostly agree. I think, though, that they probably did the best they could with the changes in cast and network demands that took place. Personally, I think the quality of the writing for the movie segments remained excellent, but that the storyline (one was demanded by the sci-fi channel, apparently) spun around the Bobo, Pearl, Observer characters intruded tiresomely on what was originally meant to be a vehicle for jokes (Forrester & Frank, Joel & the Bots)
@detrius82 One of my favorite later episodes was "Agent for H.A.R.M." but I when I watch it I have to skip past the host segments. Observer, and particularly Bobo, are like a characters that may have been used for a bit in earlier episodes, but which, unfortunately, were installed as regulars. Kind of like a thin plot premise extended into a full leanghth movie or a silly joke taken way, way too far. Just one man's opinion, of course.
Trying to say Mike is better than Joel or vice versa is like trying to say Crow is better than Servo or Servo funnier than Crow. There is no comparison!!!! MST3K had all the right qualities of an awesome show. -_-* just venting
The only thing I can say about who is better than who is Kevin Murphy is LIGHT YEARS better then Josh Wienstein as Servo....as well as Frank Connif as TV's Frank veruses his abysmal Larry.
@Noromongrel you're breaking up the family man... Can't we all just get along? I like "Moel" I like "Jike" those two are inseperable. the joel & mike wars have got to stop (tomorrow :)
Am I the only one who finds this segment strangely calming? There's something about it, the white noise in the background coupled with the accents and the nostalgia factor (reminds me of my barber, lol) that I just find so relaxing. And then to take it and make it so dark, lol. Excellent, MST3k, excellent.
Gotta love Tom's delivery on "Oooooh Ooooh, they do a nice job down there. The relish tray to die for --we gotta bring the girls down there --they just love it there." like a robot has two little girls or something.
Small town barbershop gossip... with robots... in space.
Also, the joke about all 200 clowns fitting in the one car... just awful ;-p
I'm with JAVAGOIL what on earth is a Hot Fish Shop? I 'm from Canada so I haven't the foggiest clue. Is it some Midwestern version of fish and chips or something else?

It's the simple things in life that make it all worth while. A nice haircut, a chat with old friends......and dead clowns.
