MST3K - Girls Town (part five)

[Spameggssausage]

the platters, the only talented people in this movie!

[PhyscoZombieChickie]

AND the platters? ahhh this is on my fav list

[PorkFrog]

ok so this guys a 40ish PI, and he's supposed to be just getting info about Silver the 16 year old...

...so why is he fondling her?

and in a public place?

-----

I love this movie so much, and the guys work in it is stellar-my fav episode my a mile

[DisappointingPorn]

"GLOMGLOMGLOMHURPHUMBLARGH MMM O! BUTTERFINGER!!"

I love Tom's vicious gobbling sounds!! Sounds like he's having a religious experience there...

"Boy, that guy can really put the groceries away!"

[420militanthippie]

"Your warm tumbler of Jaegermeister, ma'am..."

"Almost as good as the Statler Brothers..."

Sit there..."And sing 'Shock the Monkey'"

[slipknot92194]

I just love how Mike is utterly oblivious to the flying candy wrappers... XD

[PunksIsSeals]

"Boy this is so graphic"

"....somebody clap"

"Somebody please shoot him !"

"..except a a career"

"This song is longer than inna gadda da vida..teen songs from Bangladesh"

"She killed himmmm"

BEST LINES EVER !

The poor Platters..why, they're too good for this...and why don't they show the lead singer?

[Nickcat5]

Probably the only time in her life that Mamie pushed a man away!!

[sleepyhollow783]

4:25 Movie: "You know, even if you did shove that Jerk-Off the cliff..."

That was a gimme line for MST.

[ChaoticYak]

They're so smooth they're almost not singing.

[kaejae24]

I've prayed so hard, to the heavens above, that I might find

My first basman's glove

[hollyhuffstutler]

Hey Anka, if you get near a chorus, jump on!

[beggar1015]

I'm curious. When The Platters appear @ 1:36, we never get a clear look at the guy singing the lead. We just see his hands, the back of his head, or parts of him behind that lattice-type thing in front of the camera. Obviously the filmmakers didn't want to show him, I just wonder what the story is here.

[AlainPY]

You're right, in this movie, Tony Williams was replaced by Rupert Brankert (the pianist of the group) then by David Lynch the 2nd tenor. But it's the voice of Tony that we can heard in a live version of "Wish It Were Me".

Best Regards, Alain.

[bobdolesrevenge]

@AlainPY Wait, David Lynch was in a Motown group before he directed Eraserhead?

[Tareltonlives]

@AlainPY Wow. And another MST3k mystery is solved. Thanks!

[anemicroyaltea69]

So, I had a few 50's collection CD's and I remember that Paul Anka song being on it. lol I should dig it out so I can sing it their way. "That I may find...my first baseman's glove!" lol. But heeyy..the platters! They're good.!

[putzthewondersloth]

"Somebody, somebody, somebody please shoot him!"

[DementedJuggalette]

Kevin Murphey's eating sounds from the host segment will haunt my nightmares...

[watda74]

The P.I. guy probably would have tried to take her home anyway even if he was a bakery deliveryman. The 50s had pervs, too. lol

-What'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?

RIP Gary Coleman.

[Dulcimerist]

Hey! This is from Arte Johnson's point of view!

Verrry interesting...

[RowBadMovies]

THE ALL-MARINE BAND!

[CarryLarry]

Go dopple your Fingal!

wait wrong movie

[fishgul69]

oooooooh, Black people!

[Judgementxxx]

loving fat Tom.

[shouldistillneedone]

1:42 "he's just a lonely boy"

[Gjeorje]

I don`t know who has the lovliest, warmest smile, Mamie or her undercover baker/date. This film really is a psychotic, self-justifying propaganda piece for the white hell that was (?) the fifties......and there`s not enough catfights.

[DrWhiggs]

@Gjeorje You wanna unpack that one for me?

[Gjeorje]

@DrWhiggs- Drunk, embittered Gjeorje is`nt in right now, if you`d like to leave a message speak at the tone & he`ll get right back to you *BEEEEP*

[fishgul69]

@Gjeorje "white hell"? why, Gjeorje, I haven't heard that phrase in...forever. that was hella hilarious though, and true about the movie.

[634devil]

FAT SERVO

[ChaoticYak]

Gee, they're so smooth, they're almost not singing.

[SinnFein4ever]

6:22

Actually, that George Washington and the cherry tree story never happened.

It was started by a traveling preacher by the name of Parson Weams.

Although, when he was a boy himself, Weams DID chop down his OWN father's favorite rose bush.

His father gave him quite a spanking for it.

[blindthrall]

@SinnFein4ever And the schools still teach that as true. Wonder why Americans don't trust their government.

[minefield1000]

Sentence her to death and execute her slow and painful.

[ignisia]

6:03- NERDRAGE. Diogenes, not Demosthenes!

[ElveeKaye]

Blondie chews gum like a cow. Is that supposed to be a sign that she's really tough?

[ngobleus]

Dude, you just put the blonde farmer's daughter fantasy back in my mind. Thanks.

[ngobleus]

No seriously, thanks.

[tsartodd]

this is like the classroom girl box-cutter fight scene from "The Wire," only w/ Mamie Van Doren and the girls from Barely Legal.

[norsef]

@tsartodd So better really.

[420Travesty]

I have to give her kudos for figuring out the PI. I didn't see that coming.

"If she's so smart what is she doing in girls town?" You do realize you jus called urself stupid, right?

[420Travesty]

Anka, your lyrics are truly inspired. "I'm jus a lonely boy / lonely and blue / I'm all alone / with nothing to do." Truly profound. QUICK!! Someone write that down before we forget it! No one will ever match Anka's lyrical prowess! Record his thoughts and distribute them around the world, for truly he is the creative force that drives all life on Earth.

[GatorBaby06]

Tom Servo + Candy = 2 nuclear bombs and a supernova

[godbluffvdgg]

jesus, that's paul anka? I can't believe how young he looks. like a kid. I guess when mel torme looks like a kid what should I expect.

[ilikethecoke]

I'd love to hear...

Somebody clapping...

[Jlongtors0]

If memory serves it was Diogenes not Demosthenes who said he was looking for an honest man.

[ananxlxl]

fifteen thousand one hundred ten people have viewed this before me

[Jlhlov18]

That blonde is actually very hot and ...finally, a woman with real curves in these old movies. My opinion, and I'm a girl.

[annthebold]

I'm a girl and I agree..Mamie Van Doren is HOOOT.

And fat Servo is utterly adorable <3

[changyimei]

I don't blame ya :P

[snakejohnson]

@Jlhlov18 agreed. retro starlets were the best

[Mangina9000]

@Jlhlov18 That was the beauty standard in the 50's, 20-30 lbs heavier than the "standard" now. Men have never stopped liking or being attracted to that. Just blame the fashion industry, I guess.

[ManaAdvent]

"The place is just packed w/ bakery drivers."

"I've got everything."

"Except a career."

"Boys to Men to Woman."

"You smell like rye."

"So this is Schindler's List now?"

"Go crinkle your cronkle!"

"Go finkle your fookle!"

"Go pingle your pongle!"

[Applemask]

@ManaAdvent I didn't want to bungle or bobble the Fingal dopple...

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

Somebody please shoot him!

[seanThree16]

"Uh! Want another drink?"

"Hay, they made up fast!"

[Applemask]

Paul Anka's a tiny, tiny man...

[LittleRedMenace]

"Anka burger! Pick up for table 3!"

[tnadrg1982]

doin the butt

[1000huzzahs]

i'm gonna go get some honor candy :)

[Stazmo2]

The Platters were probably pissed they were in this crap movie.

[DarkPascual]

Platters are so awesome...

[ATHF10]

Somebody somebody, Somebody shoot him!

[hollyhuffstutler]

"I'm dumb to fall for a phony delivery boy" "Especially since you're 38!"

[skinnerburgers]

Kid, don't sing that wishful thinking love song. It might result in wide-eyed teenage stalkers.

[MissValerie88]

9:05

God bless '50's slang.

[BeeDub57]

"They're so smooth, they're almost not singing!"

[JubalCalif]

"There's a fungus among us?"  I haven't heard that joke since junior high. Dig those crazy gingham dresses they have these "girls" wearing! Really, way out, daddy-o! I'm hip to this jive!

[hollyhuffstutler]

"Your warm tumbler of Jaigermeister ma'am, and your martini, sir"

[PantisMantis]

Man I guess game had a whole different meaning back them. Paw her till she gives in seems to be the standard. I'll have to try that on my next first date. Need to start saving up bail money first, though....

[johnnywishbone4]

"thats smoooth ...do you wax that often?"

[vlcupper]

The only time in the history of the show I wish Mike and Bots would be quiet is when the Platters are singing.

[vlcupper]

Ahhhh...the Platters are so smooth.

[johnnywishbone4]

get over it ... the platters ?

[vlcupper]

Dude, they're classic.

[Tareltonlives]

They pretty much blow Anka out of the scene here

[vlcupper]

Why won't they show the lead singer of the Platters?

[hollyhuffstutler]

So, the ONE person who admits that Silver was acting in self-defense because she was about to get raped...is actually working for the creep's father!?

[popecorkyI]

this guy's fondling is as smooth as Torgo's

[amcint01]

@popecorkyI "aReN't AlL tHeSe CuLtS hErE pHoNy? ThE mAsTeR wILl Be PlEaSeD iF I gOt YoU'rE nUmBeR?"

[raineandrews]

boys to men....to women...haha

[634devil]

MST3K, The Platters and Mamie Van Doren = good episode (or big episode in the case of Van Doren).

[Hagar7]

"She kiiiiiiiiilled him."

Seriously, what was the deal with making a point of not shooting the Platters' lead singer's face? That was creepy.

[ArcaneOmen2041]

Man, Servo really "went ahead on" in that host segment.

[Tareltonlives]

Joe Don Baker would be proud

[bachftw]

Tom Servo For President since he ate all the candy.

Ohh, and watch out for snakes.

[PhilWithCoffee]

MST3K with The Platters, it doesn't get much better than this! "You know when they appeared on Sullivan they had to be shot above the eyebrows. With a camera."

[jeannec1]

If the guy was secretly a detective, why was he trying to feel her up before? Was that part of something?

[livinintwilightzone]

It was all part of his "act".

[daffyphack]

The host segment is one of the many reasons I love MST3K. You can see the punchline coming from five miles away, but they amp up the absurdity to account for it, and somehow make it still funny.

[zyzzy78]

I love sung callbacks...especially ones in harmony ("She killlled himmmmm...").

I wonder how many takes were needed for the slow-burn host segment. After watching the "Poopie!" outtakes, I can imagine Mike losing his composure while candy wrappers were tossed all over him.

[OwenW002]

Girl: Sit there...

Crow: ...and sing "Shock the Monkey"

[Sauron338]

They need a dictionary for us to keep up with these freaks!

[aja4079]

Whoa! The Platters?!

[Tareltonlives]

And yet we spend more time with Paul "Room Clearer" Anka in the film. The 50s sucked

[Reelbigearth]

well, at least the painost has SOME potentail...to spend the rest of his in clubs like that near religious schools

[kissfan7]

The hell are the Platters doing in this piece of crap? And why doesn't the camera go to the lead singer? It's not like it's busy capturing some great acting moments or anything.

[grumblesa10]

I'm OD'ing on SLANG, here! No one notices she's 18 hanging with a 35 old....ahh the 50's.

[nut126]

I've gotta bring "zooley for them" back.

[BlazikenYoshi]

Silver - "Go bingle your bongle!"

Servo - "Go crinkle your cronkle."

Mike - "Go finkle your floogle."

Crow - "Go pingle your pongle!"

[CrossEyed7]

Go fingal your doppel!

[ElveeKaye]

Go crinkle your Fingal!

[NacodaLupine]

Go gongle your wongle!

[ElveeKaye]

@NacodaLupine Go bungle in the jungle!

[ngobleus]

@CrossEyed7

Go reconst your flavo-fibes! Go ident your syntho-flavoaaaaaaaaaggggghhhh­h!!!!!

[sokarsfleet]

If some knows how to make my girlfriends ass that big PLEASE contact me.

[Tareltonlives]

Turn your girlfriend into Mamie Van Doren.

[FeliciaZezili]

"He's just making this up as he goes"

He seriously did look like he was making it up. Or that he was trying to remeber the lyrics.

[baddog7676]

"This song is longer than "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"

"I'm O.D'ing on slang here!"

"You smell like rye"

I think Tom was doing his best, Joe Don Baker immitation during that scene.

Sit there! -- "And sing Shock The Monkey"

[jvreeland87]

Ok Paul Anka staring into space while playing the piano reminds me of Chico Marx...esp. in Animal Crackers when he forgets the finish to the song...

[jobbersquash]

"alright, now out the back!" (implied as a racist club owner shooing away a black group like The Platters)

Ray Anthony saying "jerk off"

[Tareltonlives]

"You know, when they appeared on the Sullivan show, they had to be shot above the eyebrows"

[durane42]

"With a camera."

[Gjeorje]

Bingle your bongle?....Dr. Seuss slang?

[GoblinXXX]

Or boggle the Fingle dopple

[nut126]

Mom! My nuts!

[GoblinXXX]

Be quiet and finish your Flav-o-fives!

[OchreOblivion]

Don't fondle the dopples!

[GoblinXXX]

Mamie can fondle MY dopple any time

[halfmanhalfmetal]

i dont know, sounds hot though

[Tareltonlives]

Mamie could have bingled my bongle anyday!

[couchfort]

"Bingle your bongle"? The fuck? They really are just bullshitting the lingo at this point.

[melodyssong4916]

I'm ODing on slang here!

[Tareltonlives]

"He looks like a young Cher"-Sounds like it, too

"He's just a lonely boy-"-After Anka, the Platters seem like a breath of fresh air.

"Oh yes, she kicked at him/Oh yes, she pushed him over a cli-iff!"

"She kiiiilled hiim"-That's my favorite part of the episode.

"Bingle your bongle"? Now they're just making stuff up!

[Ivyandstone]

"Boy, this is so graphic!"

[drewcifer721]

-Mike: "Place is just packed with bakery drivers..."

-Crow: "Anka Burger! Table three!"

[Strangeguitar]

Servo going thru the candy makes me burst out laughing every time.

[919winters]

And to think—this kind of music was once considered edgy and anti-establishment . . . hah.

[popecorkyI]

makes me wonder how wound-tight the establishment must've been back then.

[comidities]

dude, I'm sorry but she is super hotttt! Even by today's standards.

[EspanolBot]

Extremely so. Rowr.

[4youglencoco]

it's really awkward for me to admit this, being a girl, but it's really hard for me to not stare at her breasts. or anything she does. lolwut.

[BlazikenYoshi]

Well, the movie seems to highlight that about her. It's about as distracting as a honor-based candy bar rack. ;)

[GoblinXXX]

That's ok. Ator's pecs make me feel funny, too.

[Capng123]

Miss Mamie's mammeries mesmerize mere mortals...

[skrapyard444]

brilliant haha

[dgp031984]

Merely managing Miss Mamie's mammeries makes most motivational methods moot, maybe? Marking multiple modes musing "m" made me meld my memory!

[Capng123]

Marvelous make-work, maestro. Magnefique!

[TomMSTie1138]

@dgp031984 Mm-mm, good.

[DeimosSaturn]

Do in da butt

[blahdiddy2006]

Looks like it's time to play pinata with Servo!

[TokyoStreetReport]

That guy is a desperately poor man's Cary Grant. Judy, Judy, Judy.

[hollyhuffstutler]

But infinitely more appealling than Paul Anka.

[beledigrrl]

"Great!! Now out the back."

Disturbingly briliant!

[bull705]

Not to mention probably accurate(especially if this place was anywhere near Vegas)

[RedMistie]

That "song"...If only someone in the audience would stand up and slap Anka until he's bloody and unconscious in a pool of his own grease and teeth

[Tareltonlives]

"SOMEBODY PLEASE SHOOT HIM!"

[GoblinXXX]

I'm ODing on SLANG, here!

[LittleRedMenace]

Ok, now out the back.

[SamuraiFoochs]

Mike: "Zooley?! Now they're just improvising!"

[garthennis]

Another good example of this is right at the end.

[MEKofTheMEKkingdom]

I hope the main character dies,

[NUTCASE71733]

Servo's fat LOL!

[hackpuppet]

This song is longer than Inna Gadda Da Vida XD

"Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis?" (Lol, where is this from?)

(Ahahahaha christ, the 'honor' sketch had me rolling on the floor XD)

[MoJoelRizing]

"Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis?"

-Urkel. Whom Mike imitated in a sketch later in season

six. (Someone just posted it; look it up)

Everyone thinks his impression is hilarious.

Except Torgo.

[SoundsmithOne]

Actually, "Whatchoo talkin' bout Willis" is the catchprhase of Arnold from the TV show "Diff'rent Strokes." Arnold was played by Gary Coleman, who's now doing commercials for pawn shops or somesuch.

[melodyssong4916]

Actually, that catchphrase was from the old 70's sitcom Diff'rent Strokes, as said by Gary Coleman. It gets used a lot.

[SoundsmithOne]

Doin' da butt!

[phallicmonk]

seriously

i can't stop laughing every time i hear it

[SussexSussex13]

Nom Nom Nom

[wolfcasull]

"The All Marine Band"

"She kiiiilled hiiiim"

[CetaGirlPBN]

Way to be oblivious, Mike!
