MST3K Johnny At The Fair

[quicksandbuddy]

I love how absurdly dark they get.

[DanzQueen]

OOPS, SORRY DAD. lololollolol

[Warholy]

notice at 5:38, his striped shirt is off but his overalls are still on.... weird...

[JohnsParadise]

"Johnny feels stark hands pressing him onward. The voices in his head get meaner."

[Friscalating]

That's right, kids, getting lost at a fair is good clean fun! Try it!

[fadedone]

"The horse from Equus had it better than this. " XD

[Dthemariofreak]

"Johnny's hydroplane disintegrates on impact" XD

[devospud]

any kids left in the lost children pen at the end of the day will be shipped overseas and sold

[VICITVIR]

"Let this be a warning, to you!" always gets me.

[kittykatBflat]

a Lost Children building wtf lmao

[Highxore]

"wohoah, Johnny realizes he's in over his head"

"Johnny is irresponsibly put into a speed boat without a life jacket!"

"For the first time in his young life, Johnny knows real fear!"

"AAAAAAAH!"

"Johnny's hydroplane disintegrates on impact..."

I had to pause the video, I couldn't stop laughing

[lizerdspherex]

HEELAcopter

[beefsupreme71]

Rofl rofl rofl if u watch this and dont laugh u have problems lol

[Ronbo710]

... the Arc de Full Retreat ... PRICELESS!

[Lissbirds]

Besides the Mariners are playing. Who cares?

[Leatherbubba]

What's a heelo-copter airplane?

[thefaboloussob]

5:07 Gila-copter?!

[thefaboloussob]

3:59 Those tight-ropers had to wait for the Master Ninja & Dick Van Patten's son to leave.

[thefaboloussob]

4:30 In fact, she travels to California 2 c if he's @ the Hollywood Bowl.

[thefaboloussob]

0:47 ...before it was captured by the Japanese in the '40s.

[thefaboloussob]

7:32 3 days L8r, he tells Joseph & Mary, "Didn't 'cha know I had 2 b @ my Father's house?"

[thefaboloussob]

3:01 I know, Crow. & that horse got 2 c Harry Potter naked.

[thefaboloussob]

7:12 concentration camp footage

[MickQuick07]

Nowadays that kid would've been removed from his parents' house by CPS and they would've been slapped with a negligence charge. Ahhh, how times have changed.

[devilshomie]

Golly Jeepers I wished I met all those famous people when I was lost, all I got was a sore bottom and the taste of chloroform in my mouth

[GoldenCenturion]

LET ME OUT! ATTICA! ATTICA!

[StealthG6On18s]

Oops sorry dad.

[TheSonomaDude]

So the lesson of this film is: wondering off at fairs will earn you a free baseball game, a free helicopter ride, and the ability to meet 6 famous people.

[Spudskie]

According to IMDB, the narrator of this film is Lorne Greene.

[xXxbagOfun93xXx]

oops. sorry, dad!

[BruceyGoodness]

"ATTTICA ! ATTICA!"

[alexm5488]

"A heelo-copter airplane!" "What??"

[DirtieLaundry]

Jesus, he runs into more than 10 adults and none of them think to bring him to a cop or something.

[SonicStantz]

What do they say at 1:39 and 2:05?

[BPMontana]

"Tell me, Johnny, what do you think about the new Free Trade Agreement?"

[gladfan1989]

@BPMontana "I gotta go horsies".

[SwordImpulseGundam]

This has to be some of their best riffs ever.

[91karategurlmjfan19]

'Johnny distracts the tight rope walkers and they fall to certain doom.'

'Let me out, ATTICA, ATTICA!!!'

'Mommy had a little vacation while you were losy'

[0FreezeMan0]

4:20

"That's a guy...ehhhh"

lol!!

[PoisonInc]

Visions of the Me-Kong Delta flash before Johnny's eyes.

[DoctorBrackets]

Knowing Mackenzie King, he would have taken advice from Johnny quite seriously.

[devilshomie]

Johnny's a lucky little shit isn't he, no wonder herion was invented after the fifties

[SlackerFreelance]

Oh, if only I could get a ride in one of those!

[Tendoking]

This short and Mr. B Natural are my favorite MST3K shorts. So many great lines from this one.

[Adrianne0304]

Besides, it's the Mariners, so who cares!

[Stormwysper]

*slurp slurp*

Oops sorry dad.

I still remember when I first saw this I did a spit take, I couldn't believe they said that. One of my all time favorite riffs.

[SouLIntruder]

"He had managed to stay awake just long enough to see the beginning of the fireworks... at home"

LOL

[ninjawhale03]

anyone willing to let a random and alone 5 year old boy with no parents in sight sit on their lap seems a bit suspect to me.

[ryanspeed]

5:09  A heelocopter??

[RockmanVX]

@ryanspeed Not just a heelocopter, a heelocopter airplane!

[DorianCairne]

So, the LAST place his parents looked was the Lost Children booth? That's the sort of goof-up you'd expect from people too thick to panic when their son dissapears at a crowded fair.

[battlestargalac78]

ATTICA! ATTICA!

[educatedcockroach]

the hell is a heelicopter? is it like a helicopter but canadian?

[Happitec]

This is the best MST3k short. So funny.

[SuperNerd1973]

Boy they're sure tough on drunk drivers in Canada.

[TheGullibleParrot]

The drugs from the Chemical Wonderland start to kick in.

[TeamRenesmee117]

"This is the last you'll see Johnny happy." hahahha!

[TomMSTie1138]

I remember watching this as a kid. I had to sneak out of my room, turn on the TV, and set the volume as low as possible but still hear it so I didn't wake up my parents whose bedroom was right next to the TV. When Joel said, "LET ME OUTTA HERE!" I cracked up laughing, woke up my parents, got yelled at and was sent back to bed.

[cavalierfan1995]

TO:BESIDE THE MARINERS WAS PLAYING SO WHO CARES!

GREAT LINE!

[bendem94]

Oh, sorry dad.

[NomosCharis]

4:06, "Boy, they're sure tough on drunk drivers in Canada. *Phwew!" LOL!

[Zewtie]

@SethPascal Dude, you need to promote your book some other way. Your spam posts are getting annoying.

[TimelordR]

That kid's definitely scarred for life...especially after meeting Olsen & Johnson.

[TanzDerSchatten]

I should hate this short, since there's nothing funny about losing your kid in a massive crowd. Joel and the 'bots make it irresistable, though.

[Bayview05]

But Johnny's adventure was just beginning.

"A SHOT RANG OUT! PSHHHHHHHH"

[eviljoel]

My favorite short, if I had to pick just one. It's just so dark and disturbing, I love that stuff!

[Meatwad440]

Oh look its the Arc de Full Retreat

[Yapshire]

I remember this one. One of my favorite shorts. Thanks for the upload.

[fyiab]

Possibly the best Joel-era short and definitely the darkest.

[ErinIsPunk]

Let me oouuut! Attica! Atticaaaaa!

[perplacymp]

"Visions of the Mekong delta flash before his eyes."

"For the first time in his life, Johnny experiences real fear."

[mouse264]

My favorite lines :D

Ooops, sorry dad.

"Jiminy!" Thinks Johnny: "If only I could get a ride in one of those."

[HGbunny]

Holy crap, did you see how many kids there were in that "Lost Children" concentration camp looking place?!?!?!? You can't tell me some weren't dropped off on purpose!

[ohrwurm]

Let this be a warning! To YOU.

[DudeSinger]

Johnny's car rolled and burned!

[Damar158]

Laugh! It's funny, LAUGH!!

[snootylittlecutie]

"they looked everywhere. everywhere but one place."

crow: their own hearts

7:16

LOL, it's so mean!

[69bodean]

Hahahaha I <3 these guys :)

[nicktheghosthost999]

"Simulated culture like Disney World."

[Izone508]

Johnny's car rolled and burned!

[abridgedfan107]

johnny feels dark hands pushing him forward. the voices in his head get meaner.

[4everasinger286]

Oops! Sorry, dad.......ROFL

[GetEmBanjo]

"Then Johnny transmogrifies. He's a shapeshifter! And he breaks the Fourth Seal."

[downtownford]

LET ME OUT, ATTICA, ATTICA! lol

[PerfectKirby]

Anyone else find it ominous that there were so many children at the lost children place? 0_0

[AppleScruffWitch]

@PerfectKirby Where do you think carnies come from? :D

[Causalspark]

"Oops! Sorry, dad."

[MartianBuddy88]

For the first time in his young life Johnny knows true fear!

[gladfan1989]

"Besides, the Mariners were playing, so who cares?" ROFL, my all-time favorite line from this show!

[yosoynumerouno1]

Your never to young to have a Vietnam flash back

[MrShotgunjim]

"Johnny's negligent parents let him wander off."

"Johnny's parents decide to move on and start their lives anew."

"...and low and behold, before his very eyes, LSD!"

"Visions of the Mekong Delta flash before Johnny's eyes."

And my favorite...

"Ooh jiminy," thinks Johnny. "If only I could get a ride in one of those."

[DXslilgangsta]

Holy Crap Mackenzie King!!!

[Izone508]

he breaks the fourth seal XD

[Izone508]

*all together* A SHOT RANG OUT XD

[Izone508]

*all together* A SHOT RANG OUT XD

[Izone508]

olsen and johnsen keeps babys soft thats when i lost it XD

[downtownford]

Johnny must have everything for himself

[HaileyVerge]

"Geeze, the horse from Equus had it better than this."

"Well yes there was a Mr. Barty here."

"Yeah right play it up big in public."

LOL.

[Theburn77]

ooh canada how exotic

[86thPatriot]

"Oops! Sorry dad"

[MrDartz]

That was so wrong.

[Enumclaw]

Johnnie feels dark hands pressing him onward, the voices in his head get meaner.

[zigzigzig]

"then johnny transmogrifies. he's a shape-shifter!"

[TheTygre]

"A whiskery man hands him a package. 'The worse runs free.', he says."

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

'The first one's free'.

[ilikethecoke]

A real land of wonders!

Boooooooring.

[WhiteGamerNinja]

Man, circus related shorts really bring out the dark side in these guys.

[MissReige]

@WhiteGamerNinja Maybe this time it's because it takes place in Canada.

[dmanschaumbizzie]

what was his name again....jimmy...jerry....

[msannomalley]

Filthiest MST riff ever beginning at 3:20.

[skorli]

For the first time in his young life, Johnny knows real fear.

[tokusatsunerd]

"DID I TELL YOU TO HAVE THIS BABY?!"

[drewcifer721]

"Whoops - sorry, dad."

[shewbydewby]

LOL

[4everasinger286]

"this is a story about johnny."

Joel: a sad story.

"when, all of the sudden--"

Crow: A SHOT RANG OUT! LOL

[CP1977]

Don't you just love it when every time they show those fair or circus shorts on MST3K, the humor gets really dark?!

[RedGreen7373]

If only I could get a ride in one of thoes!

[Ozker1313]

Oh boy! A helicopter airplane!

Tom: What?

[vampirehunterme]

"joe hits johnny up for fifteen cents due to tax problems"

[Ozker1313]

"Let me out! Attica!" XD

[dreamsailor75]

OMG LOL! Joel and that crew was the best! Miss him.

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

"And before his very eyes"

LSD!

[GoblinXXX]

Joel and the bots had a lot of great riffing, but I think they really shone during the shorts. Look at this one, Mr B Natural, Body Care & Grooming, Catching Trouble and Circus on Ice to name a few, all classics with fantastic riffs.

[Coolestmovies]

Little known fact: "Johnny" is played by Charles Pachter, who grew up to be a renowned Canadian painter, sculptor, designer and historian/lecturer whose works have garnered him an order of Canada. His web site is cpachter . com . One of his most famous works is Noblesse Oblige, 1972, which depicts Queen Elizabeth riding a Canadian moose. ;) Pachter recently mentioned his role in this film during an interview on CBC radio.

[smsteve888]

holy crap!

seriously, that is really interesting! thanks for the info!

[Coolestmovies]

No problem! Glad someone found it useful! ;)

[CofCGuy]

As a little boy growing up in Florida, like most kids, my big dream was to run away and meet the Prime Minister of Canada.

[apo18llo]

Visions of the Mekong Delta flash before Johnny's eyes.

[apo18llo]

This is the story of Johnny...a sad story.

This is the last you'll see Johnny happy.

[PorcelainRequiem]

Narrator: "Johnny loves horses. He's just in time, for the judges are about to award the prize."

Tom: "And it goes to Johnny!"

XD That was my favorite line. This short's hilarious!

[DudeSinger]

@PorcelainRequiem Crow:"Ohhhhh my earr!!"

Tom: "Then Johnny Tranmogriphys hes a shape shifter!"

Crow: "Oooops Sorry dad"

[ScrubsBabie434]

"Oh, boy," thinks Johnny, "if only i could get a ride in one of those!"

lol

[DrunkSabortooth]

Actually he said Jimminy instead of oh boy

[HarryPotter1992x]

"A wiskery man hands him a small package the first one's free he say's!"

"Low and behold efore his very eye's - LSD!"

"The drugs from the chemical wonder land start to kick in!"

[Jikk]

Johnny realizes what a lie his life has been.

[Stormwysper]

Let me out! Attica! Attica!

[Bristol92]

Oh boy a healcopter airplane!

tom: what?

.lol

[ScrubsBabie434]

I love Crow's "Johnny Voice"! It's just to funny!

[ScrubsBabie434]

"Johnny must have everything for himself."

[LordRiderFan]

"Whoops! Sorry dad!"

[Anynom]

There's something about circus and fair themed shorts that brings out the dark side in the guys...

[rirugrat]

Mommy had to go on a vacation...

[ahaugen]

You know, the Canadian Military still uses that model helicopter

[d0g69s]

At least Canada does not have the same stupid credit woes the US does that will kill the world's economy.

[Hookamobsta]

nope, they just have a reputation of doing nothing

[tedmills]

"Breaks the fourth seal" is a reference to the Book of Revelation, 6:6-8

"When he broke open the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature cry out, "Come forward." I looked, and there was a pale green horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades accompanied him."

ho ho!

[Astro7Nut]

Johnnys spirit is completely broken.

[Phykus]

Im telling you, this is the best short ever!

[Vidken]

Jimminy, a heelocawpter aeroplane!

[Gothdemon01]

I don't know who's more annoying in this short... Johnny or the voice-over guy :P

[MasterWGS]

I think this is the best MST3K short. And trust me, I've seen a lot of them.

[CP1977]

Prozac at work in today's society! LOL

[MemeMixer]

Hey, what´s the Fourth Seal?

[MrPsychic8472]

"Woah! Johnny realizes he's in way over his head!"

[KarmikCykle]

"Then Johnny transmogrifies. He's a shapeshifter, and he breaks the fourth seal."

[Vinya]

visions of the Mekong Delta flash before Johnny's very eyes XD

[spawngoat]

You'd think the first place they'd go to find him would be the lost children prison. Probably didn't even want to find Johnny.

[jtlee891]

You'd also think at least one of the people meeting Johnny would try to keep him safe or at least inquire why a 6 year old is wandering about all alone. That's the 1950s for ya.

[spawngoat]

If this happened today all those people talking to lil Johnny would have been arrested by the FBI.

[Sauron338]

Visions of the Mekong Delta flashed before Johnny's eyes...

[wolfsbane13]

This is amazing!

[DarkMario2]

"The drugs from the "CHEMICAL WONDERLAND" start kicking in."

MST FOR EVER!

[undertheivy99]

Scene: Baby horse about to nurse on Mama horse.

Line: "Whoops! Sorry, Dad!"

Never fails to crack me up. This wonderfully twisted short is my favorite after "The Home Economics Story." Also recommend "A Date with Your Family" (aka "The Woody Allen Story!)

[pyrix]

Ahhh Joel Robinson is a great guy.

[TK42100]

Best. MST3K short. ever.

[DarkMario2]

"Then Johnny transmorgifies, he is a shapeshifter." "He breaks the fourth seal."

:)  I love this one.

[goldenagenut]

People weren't so paranoid back then, you could actually trust most people, there weren't a million deviants and nutcases around to have to worry about.

[UncaSatan]

what I want to know is who says helicopter airplaine?

[DarkMario2]

No, it's "heely-coptor aeroplane", I believe...

Man, people talk wierd in the 50's.

[ziggytim]

man, this one is dark.

[nedsmanks]

According to the IMDb, Johnny's dad is dead. After the way he neglected his son, can anyone say he didn't deserve to die?

[qwerrtyuioo]

how about the parents of the appalling amount of neglected children in that Lost and Found Children Pen? Is this the Pre-Social-Services era?

[nedsmanks]

I think it was the 'Pre-Particularly Bothered' era. I assume/hope that their parents died a horrible fiery death or were kidnapped and left on a desert island by the Irony Police.
