I have found that mst3k,is a good litmus test. If someone likes it they"re usually smarter than the average bear. At the same time , if they think it's stupid then so are they.
MST3K...best thing to ever come out of Minnesota. I worked on the MST3K movie back in 95 as an intern. Great fun! We made the ship interiors by gluing old toys to plywood. Later they painted it all grey or white. It looked very realistic. I even got a tour of Best Brains Studios. Its a tiny place...just a couple big garages & a few offices. I got to stand where Joel/Mike & the bots did all their scenes & I think I saw Mary Jo Pehl. So much hilarious magic was created in that tiny place.
Lucky you! I've always heard that working with those guys was like being part of a big, silly family. I'd have given anything to get the chance to tour the studio back when they were still doing the show.
@AMVpurgatory When I toured Best Brains studios I was amazed at how little room they had to do the show. One big garage was only used to store all the props they made over the years. Every invention exchange and every gadget from all the shows was in that room. It was packed to the gills. I could've spent hours in there.
Deep 13/Castle Forrester, the movie scenes and all the Satellite of Love scenes were all shot in the same garage. It was pretty crampt. But they somehow made it all work.
The ending was a little stiff. I guess it's because it's jarring due to how loud the video audio is next to the song audio. Maybe if it was faded a little better, it'd be super kick-ass, but it's still great!
hey there AWESOME MST3K video please do a sequel im trying to get my new girlfriend into MST3OOO and i showed her your vid to try and convince her its the greatest show ever she still doesnt quite get it though perfect song for the MST characters and situations especially loved Peter Breck shouting "I KILLED THAT FAT BARKEEP!!!" from THE BEATNIKS Again-fantastic job and a fitting tribute to the show- push the button frank
Glad you like the video, but I don't think I'll do another one of MST3K. It's not an easy show to do videos of since the majority of the program is the characters watching something else. If you want to get your girlfriend into the show, try showing her some of the shorts or some similar riffs by other people. A lot of the members of That Guy With the Glasses do riffs and my brother and I have a riff of Killer Klowns that we've done as well.
Have her watch the movie first. It's a good introduction to the series. Either that or episode 303: Pod People. A lot of people I know saw that one first and loved the show immediately.
Teenagers From Outer Space. Or, if you named it accurately, amateur Middle Aged actors from Outer Space. You can find it on Volume 6 of the MST3K collection.
I'm not going to waste a lot of time defending this as it's just a fan video and not terribly important to me. But it's basically just playing off of the strange incidents in the MST3K host segments. I thought it was fitting, but hey... *shrugs* It was just something to waste a little time with.
Experiment #912: The Screaming Skull. In that particular Host Segment, Crow takes his head off and has it painted white to fool Mike into thinking he's the screaming skull from the movie. It only results in Mike freaking out and beating the crap out of him.
YOu have to contact all the advertisers too, i agree. This is the age of the net, contacts like that can always be found and contacted. Not doing anything will result in nothing happening. Look at The Family Guy. Those fans were faithful enough, that they got the show back on the air. The same thing happened back in the 80s with a show called Designing Women. It got cancelled, but enough dedicated fans pulled together, wrote in to where it counted, and the show got back on the air.
I can also tell you have this synched up pretty well but Youtubes formatting has sort of knocked it a few frames out of synch. Doesn't that drive you nuts when you've worked so hard on something? Still, 5 stars, great work.
Good video. MST3K was awesome until Peggy and that lame a** Planet Of The Apes crap ruined it. Had that never happened the show might have lasted longer than it did.
The show ended because the dumb ass that ran SCI FI (Bonnie Hammer, now failing upward as the president of NBC Universal Cable) hated the show; it's the same reason Comedy Central cancelled them (Doug Herzog at Comedy Central hated the show as well).
Producers & actors of shows need 2 be more pro-active for their shows. It's like they don't care. They need 2 send out news letters 2 fans with emails 2 write 2, so jerks at NBC and Comedy Central can see the amount of fans. Then they need 2 send out mail 2 all the advertisers, so the fans can write & tell them they'll not be watching the network that cancelled them anymore.
Those names you mentioned. I wonder if they ruined G4TV as well. I know it was Comcast, but maybe they work for them.
I do my homework, but i'm only one person. Instead of just lazily writing into the Terms Of Service or Privace Notice emails, that don't get seen on the network sites. I research through the whole site. You can eventually find it. Or you can also do a Yahoo search for contacts and find out where to write. I tell them how successful online Rifftrax is, and what a bad mistake it was to cancel MST3K.
texformer, I totally agree. Peggy wasn't a bad actress but that character was obnoxious. And so were those stupid monkeys. I know it was the mst3K cast and I love them, I just thought that theme was embarassing to watch.
As savgmouse pointed out, the chin invention was "Chinderwear" for people who have butt-chins. The magic carpet sketch was from Castle of Fu Manchu and I don't remember which episode had the fight with the "BANG" weapons.
Maybe you could cut back on the Peter Graves thing at the end. Perhaps even sneak another shot of Pearl, Bobo and Observer in.
Another shot of Jerry and Silvia would be cool. Perhaps a rapid fire assortment of all the "guest" characters like Nuveena and Mike as Steeve Reeves. Well maybe not.
All you really needed from Graves is the "Man is a feeling creature" The rest kind of made the video drag.
See, I thought it would be funny to end the video with the entirety of Graves' speech from "It Conquered the World," just the same way they ended that episode with his full speech. The rapid-fire guest characters would be funny, too, but VERY time-consuming!
AoNinjaz is correct. It's from the movie "Beatniks" and the character is Moonie, the archetype freaking insane character that always existed in those groovy, hep, swingin' beatnik films from the 50's and 60's.
People seem to really like that "Hi-Keeba!" bit! I'm just upset I wasn't able to get the "Want some?" "I WANT AN ANSWER!" scene from Daddy-O. I searched the episode over and over and still couldn't find the darn thing!
This is, indeed, truly awesome. You've got vidos in here from every season of the show, and the composition is excellenent to boot. Plus you've got the "Hikeeba!"
"Hi-Keeba!" is one of those infamous MST3K running gags that comes from the rarely-viewed first season, so only the most hardcore fans have seen the original bit. It's from the movie "Women of the Prehistoric Planet," Experiment #104.
Ah, I wouldn't know. Most of my collection comes from the old-school method of tape (or DVD-ROM) trading, so I'm unaware of which episodes have recently become available on the market.
I sincerely hope we'll see the entire series on DVD some day.
