MST3K - The Deadly Mantis (part 5)

[ChaoticYak]

Are we in the SOUTHERN portion of the galaxy now?

[Tareltonlives]

I love how all the MST3k guys made their own country songs. 

[Tareltonlives]

"If everyone had a kayak...across the Bering Strait...."

[sleepyhollow783]

9:17 "When you killed me,... I died..."

[PerryPlanet]

"She didn't want to have so many little planes, but her husband was a DC-10 and he couldn't keep his wings off her..."

[ChaoticYak]

Woman! Woman! Woman! Woman! Show us your lady things!

[kftc88]

Now that they've worked out what the creature is, wouldn't it make more sense to get an entomologist who specializes in the preying mantis?

[vampirehunter42]

I really love Crow's closed "sleeping eyes".

[GamaScythe]

Your crank is turned to Frank... I love that

[Chaosian01]

If I hadn't played Fallout New Vegas I wouldn't have understood the spurs go jingle-jangle-jingle joke...

[KingSnarf]

Did anyone else hear the Benny Hill theme in their head during the Eskimo sequence?

[sifle3]

"Well where's the woman?" loled so hard

[HoserSaysWhat]

Few things are cuter than sleeping robots.

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

Mantis spotted at 4:07 - stupid film still hasnt really shown the Mantis in any detail.

[Windclaw]

Is your crank turned to Frank?

[KingSnarf]

@Windclaw I can't promise that I personally will be turning my crank to Frank....

[bendem94]

A radio station!? Called Frank!?!?

[samueledwardwest]

My vote for deadliest creature is a scorpion, stinger wins against mantis.

[ChaoticYak]

I thought the shrew was the most deadly and voracious of all creatures. We learned that back in season four!

[Petervenkman235]

LOL at 3:35

[SinnFein4ever]

Crow doesn't wake up ubtil 9:25.

XD

[SinnFein4ever]

2:30-2:43

Except for the Killer Shrew.

;)

[PaperbackWizard]

"Does your learned young professor always go on like this?" Hey, a self-riffing movie!

[WhiteTiger225]

"To disappear without a trace suggests complete destruction!"

Couldn't at all be kidnapped, captured, buried under snow... left out of boredom from this speech?

[fuckingkiddinme]

A kitten?

[MsTwinkle101]

Well, where's the woman? Oh, ohhhh :p

[fyiab]

"The teenage suicide capital of the world!" XD oh god Crow, that's dark.

[Feckinpaddy29]

Wow that was like driving through North Dakota. We had our pick of country or evangelical radio.

[putzthewondersloth]

@Feckinpaddy29 If you were driving past Grand Forks, ND, you could've tuned to 107.5.  That's our main rock station here.

I don't know about the western part of the state.

East Side!

[creatornat]

"When you killlllled meee.....I diiiiiiiiiiiiied!" LOL!

[turb05]

"Aww sorry, this is about Ukranians."

[PCGamer77]

00:04 So paleontology is the study of everything in the whole universe? I did not know that!

[Kongwalker]

i actually didn't catch that "turn your crank to frank" thing the first time i saw this episode lol

[joemomma46]

"Where's the woman?...oh"

[cshern]

greatest mst3k line ever: "I think this guy is familiar with dishonorable discharge" zing!

[ChaoticYak]

Are we in the southern portion of the galaxy now?

[SoundsmithOne]

"(You're) gonna see strange things behind that glass, ma'am."

[clshannon21]

"Sounds like a sick dog."

[IliyaMoroumetz]

Puppies! :D

[DaGanjaSamurai]

Lol

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time...

[creatornat]

@DaGanjaSamurai ..I know-fabulous. :)

[RaWrZzZz]

@PsychoticLoner THEN START PURRING DAMMIT! 

[RaWrZzZz]

@electricbayonet2 If I pet the both of you like kitty cats, will you shut up and watch the MST3K?

[electricbayonet2]

@RaWrZzZz I already did. And then watched another. MST's an addictive timesink.

[RaWrZzZz]

@PsychoticLoner If I pet the both of you like kitty cats, will you shut up and watch the MST3K?

[jerrytheham72]

I HATE PRAYING MANTISES... PRAYING MANTI... Whatever, I hate them, even in regular, teeny-weeny size. They look like frickin' aliens to me!

[RaWrZzZz]

@jerrytheham72 D< ARE YOU CALLING MY CHILDREN UGLY?

[snipetracker]

06:55 "...a female woman." What other kind of woman is there?

[RaWrZzZz]

WHEN YOU KILLED ME, I DIEDDDDDDDDDD

[daikaiju20]

@RaWrZzZz that funny!

[JamesOhGoodie]

Y'know I'm glad that a movie called the Deadly Mantis features dry scenes of people TALKING for half of its length!

[CarolinaOcelot]

Oh, Gamera!

[No1chestnut]

Fallout new vegas for the win at 2:16

[christimacc]

6:45 -  7:45 is one minute of pure genius!!

Well, where's the woman!

[pytko3]

This scientist built his career of insane troll logic.

[ReeperTheSeeker]

does anyone else think the scientist's photographer looks like a lady Vulcan?

[johnnyo3535]

"1st down"

[terieber]

YOUR CRANK IS TURNED TO FRANK!!!! YAY!!!

[ChaoticYak]

Siberians wreck everything!

[vtyhw]

"Mrs. Beatrus Torgison of Maple Plain has spurs like that." This 10 min is my favorite in the entire 10 years.

[smoresandhoney]

"Just hanging around with a rodeo clown in the back of my GMC."

Freaking funny! XD

[ZanderJSketch]

"It's the mighty Quinn!"

[whoisdickieschnabel]

I want to date a Ukrainian :d.

Inuit Baywatch!

I've narrowed it down to one.

Shall we narrow it further?

[Capng123]

Readly Rantis!

Readly Rantis!

[Dragmack]

last one to the gulf of mexico buys lunch!

[pretorious700]

"cute little bug"-has anyone ever considered the mantis "cute"? here in thailand they can get about 8 inches long and scary as hell.

[DenOfVipers]

From about 1:08 to :2:20, they were on fire!

[whoisdickieschnabel]

@DenOfVipers I agree. I'm already goin' before it gets to 1:08 though.

[SamuraiFoochs]

"Sorry, this is about Ukrainians."

[ChaoticYak]

"I've narrowed the field to one."

Should we narrow it further?

[fromolwyoming]

I think this guy's familiar with "dishonorable discharge." LAMO

[xpluralx]

lawl the frank crank radio station

[Theburn77]

corporal donnie most

[Servocaster]

" It's appetite is insatiable!" Kirstie Alley?

[RavnDream]

"But everyone lies!"

"Should we narrow it further?"

"Oh sorry, this is about Ukrainians!"

"...and snowboards!"

"Inuit Baywatch!"

"With breasts and everything."

"Well, where's the woman?" XD

[Servocaster]

Im Nederick Jackson..Mr. Jackson if your nasty.

[bigjimandthewolfpack]

"Stopping Laughing with your wife and get out here!", now that is a"Savage Innocents" - Anthony Quinn riff. Now that is way out of left field.

[DenOfVipers]

When you killed me...I DIIIIIIEED

[Oppledeldoc]

MY only problem with Country and Western music jokes is that I can find depressing lyrics in ALL kinds of music. When it comes to depressing, C & W has NOTHING on some of the really bluesy rock songs.

[kylep2]

It's not about the individual examples, but the genre as a whole. And it's not about the truth, but the perceptions of the writers.

[didgeboy287]

This is true. You've got depressing lyrics in emo music, alternative, and all kinds of rock. I've actually noticed lately there seems to be more positive c&w songs than in most other genres.

[Servocaster]

@Oppledeldoc At Bob's country bunker we have both kinds of music,country AND western.

[spacecat81]

LOL at the Mighty Quinn joke

[ElveeKaye]

Woman: "Let's suppose, for the sake of argument...."

Me: "...that everyone in this movie has talent."

No more voracious insect than the praying mantis?? No way! What about grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets that swarm by the millions, eating everything in their path--including each other?? What about ants? Idiots wrote this movie.

[Servocaster]

@ElveeKaye and dont forget soccer teams,voracious appetites,travel in teams and are also known to eat each other.

[ElveeKaye]

@Servocaster Now I know what happens to the losing teams of the World Cup! O_o

[NUTCASE71733]

@ElveeKaye

Well, the mantis has been considered the T-Rex of the bug world, it's understandible one could make such a mistake.

[jgr350]

"Your crank is turned to FRANK"

[ElveeKaye]

And your knob to Bob. :o]

[yerpaljesus]

winona

[trapadoored]

any munsters fans notice the Mantis has the same roar as "Spot " the munsters pet dragon?

The show and this movie were both Universal productions.

[rayden120]

a woman saying a mantis is cutie wow

[ShyriaDracnoir]

@rayden120 Its the eyes. Big eyes = cute, as an unofficial rule

[JamesOhGoodie]

WOMAN! WOMAN! WOMAN!

[nut126]

Gah! Nedrick gets his sick kicks by bullying old men who just want their soup!

Ah yes, all members of the Press Corp recognize paleontologists on sight.

[dnm72863]

Crow: "Hey Mike, I can row a boat... canoe?"

[watda74]

Another moment where Mike could have attempted to strangle Crow for a bad pun. lol

"Those windows should get the 'lead' out!" (Ep. 905).

[ziggytim]

readly rantis! readly rantis!

[annthebold]

Kevin has such a lovely singing voice!!! "Come on knock me down...again!" LOL LOL

[buffypython]

"I think this guy's familiar with dishonorable discharge." ROFL!

[buffypython]

Darn you, Viacom!!!!!

(In the voice of Captain Kirk): Viacooooooom!

[VioletShadow84]

Baywatch: Inuit style. Lol!

[StoneColdSergio]

"Now I lay me down to sleep...

Bless his soul, Lord....

hahaha GET IT?!?!?!"

LMFAO. That is so epic fucking win.

"So, where's the woman?" XD

[mrhandsome513]

at 3:06 - "First Down!"

lmfao

[kydarr]

Tradin' in his Chevy for a kayak-ak-ak-ak-ak-ak-ak.

[Btothecc1]

@kydarr you oughta know by now

[TomMSTie1138]

@kydarr You oughta ROW by now.

[SinnFein4ever]

@TomMSTie1138

8:30-8:40

I didn't know Pearl could sing.

XD

[TomMSTie1138]

@SinnFein4ever You should see 905: THE DEADLY BEES, Pearl, Bobo and Brain Guy sing a great number, "Please Stay."

[SinnFein4ever]

@TomMSTie1138

I think that I preffer the guys heart-warming rendition of "A Patrick Swazey Christmas".

[TomMSTie1138]

@SinnFein4ever My all-time favorite is still "We're a Danger to Ourselves and Others."

[SinnFein4ever]

@TomMSTie1138

What episode was that from?

[TomMSTie1138]

@SinnFein4ever Attack of the Giant Leeches. I',m pretty sure you can find it in my playlists, but part 1 maybe missing. Fortunately the song comes much later in the episode.

[SinnFein4ever]

@TomMSTie1138

Kudos, and thanks.

:)

[TomMSTie1138]

@SinnFein4ever Many welcomes to you. :)

[SinnFein4ever]

@TomMSTie1138

Live long, and prosper.

:)

[TomMSTie1138]

@SinnFein4ever May the forces of evil become confused on their journey to your house.

[SinnFein4ever]

@TomMSTie1138

They should, since I stole all of the street signs, and rigged the traffic lights.

;)

[TomMSTie1138]

@SinnFein4ever Ha!

[whoadude1959]

@SinnFein4ever

my favorite Pearl song is from the episode OVERDRAWN AT THE MEMORY BANK where she and Brain Guy do a duet called "When loving lovers love again"

[Gomess]

"When you killed me.... I diiiiiied...."

[Taters169]

lmao! your crank is turned to frank

[livinintwilightzone]

"The teenage suicide capital of the world!!" Way dark there Crow...

[johnnyo3535]

"1st Down"

[Windclaw]

"Ah, those gosh darn heteros. What are ya gona do?" LOL!

[whoisdickieschnabel]

"I've narrowed the field to one!"

"Should we narrow it further???"

"oh I'm sorry this is about Ukrainians" LMAO

[jodiefostersarmy]

Would you put clams up your nose?

[whoisdickieschnabel]

Kitten!!!!!

[vlcupper]

God this guy's smugness is palpable.

[chinesecommunist]

Chicken!

[quillofnumenor]

"The Teflon Mantis was acquitted in federal court today..."

Lulz.

[AnitaMontresor]

You know, I think movie-makers will say anything is "the most deadly creature" if they think they can get away with it. Deadly mantis, Killer Shrews...

You know what's really the most deadly creature in the world, though? The mosquito! Yep, you might survive a snake bite, and even a shark bite, but it's the mosquito bite that'll kill you.

[Dragmack]

The humble mosquito is responsible for half of all human deaths since the Stone Age.

[AnitaMontresor]

That's exactly my point. You don't get Malaria from a Praying Mantis.

[nut126]

Oh i'm pretty sure Devil Fish taught us that The Most Deadly Creature award goes to.......

Half Octopus Half Shark Half Pirhana!! That's right, it has 3 halves!

[Jangobadass]

Wouldn't those be thirds?

[bLuDcLoT06]

thats the joke dipshit

[lustfrog]

"Well, where's the woman?"

Too funny. Reason #78 why Kevin Murphy is the funniest MST3K cast member.

[whoisdickieschnabel]

great line!

[mcmbane]

'Turn your crank to Frank' reference! Wonderful!

[owlsandwalruses]

WHAT THE HELL VIACOM?!?!??!? Sorry usually a very composed person, but seriously, why the hell would they just take some random part of these videos out?! Why not take it all out?! Do they want us to know that it's them doing this?...Are they trying to get us angry at them? This is kind of strange when you think about it... Does anyone have an answer to this?

[Stryder687]

people! PEOPLE! We cannot fight amongst ourselves! Viacom is having us TURN on each other!!! Would MST3K want us to turn on each otherE?!?!? NO!

Let's agree that Viacom is being EVIL and we deserve our MST3K. LET'S GO BURN THAT MOTHER F#*ER DOWN!

[whoisdickieschnabel]

FIRE IT UP!~!!!!

[chainsawcharlie965]

Grab the marshmallows!!

[cale42]

Keep circulating the tapes!!

[eits1986]

@Stryder687

When a show gets canceled and then reaired, it is always worse. Do you really want to see bad episodes of Mystery Science Theater?

Enjoy the nostalgia, and pray that it isn't ruined by the corporate TV show machine.

[xTheDarkestRedx]

So who's for setting the Viacom building on fire? Fuckin' fags.

[rolotomasi99]

Do not blame the fags, we love mst3k more than the breeders!

[jrmarrero96]

thanks again Viacom for removing part four, cocksuckers!

[tarlcabot18]

Hey, rfe-upload part 4!

[swgmigraines]

SHOW US YOUR LADY THINGS!!

[Kinemacolour]

"The discount Rosalind Russell."

"She's like a manly Eve Arden."

[BeeDub57]

"First down!"

[nut126]

my crank is turned to Frank!!

[EternalGuardian07]

Brooks and Dunn...BROOKS AND DUNN!

[nut126]

Wynona!

[KaterzTheMSTie]

At 2:43

Just throw in "than the killer shrew", and you've got a completely different episode.

[22shalala]

"I've narrowed the field to one."

CROW: "Should we narrow it further?"

[polarisedelectrons]

Maybe it's because it's after 4 in the morning over here, but 6:42 - 6:58 made me cry with laughter.

[gusd41]

First Down

[justy109]

woohoo! your crank is tuned to frank!

[Oppledeldoc]

That Eskimo scene had to have about the most musical jokes in a row of any episode - Hawaii 5-O, the Beach Boys, Billy Joel, what else?

[Xp710]

Woman, Woman, show us your lady things!

[lamancha2]

Oh my word, this film is quite literally a lot of talking. I feel sorry for the actors, having to memorise hundreds of words about insects and mammoths. They must have wondered what the heck kind of film they were making.

[jwhaler82]

"Are we in the southern portion of the galaxy?"

[chinesecommunist]

"Damn Siberians wreck everything"

"Chicken!"

"Would you put clams up your nose?"

"Teenage suicide capital of the world!"

"Show us your lady things!"

[EternalGuardian07]

I wish they didn't say anything over the joke so we could hear how lame it was.

[DrKaiju2000]

LOL 3:50

[GoblinXXX]

So, 2 foot oong dragonfly = 100 foot long mantis is possible. Hmmm.

[Tareltonlives]

Using the whole Meganeura example, let's play around with scale.

Largest genus is Anax, at about 15 cm wingspan. Meganuera was about 75 cm in wingspan. That's about five times more.

Largest mantis genus is Toxodera from Java, at 20 cm. That means that a hypothertical supermantis would be 1 meter long. That's about the size of Lassie. Not Godzilla, King Kong, or even Frankenstien's monster. More like Eddie Munster.

[GoblinXXX]

Well, I always said, if you turned on your bathroom light at 2 a.m. and a lobster scuttled under the sink, you'd run screaming into the night.

[ArcaneOmen2041]

GoblinXXX you just made my sunday morning with that.

[GoblinXXX]

I hope it helps you get over your lobsterphobia! (For the seafood lover in you)

[ArcaneOmen2041]

You're mistaking me with who decided that "Teenagers From Space" would be scary with a giant lobster.

But yeah. >.>

[GoblinXXX]

The SHADOW of a lobster, even, not even a process shot.
