MST3K Top 5 - Worst Special Effects (aka They just didn't care)

[lyricalstylz]

Awesome upload! But I can't believe that the "monster" from Teenagers from Outer Space is not #1 on any list of bad special effects. If you haven't seen it... see it. Nothing special about THAT effect.

[KapriciousT]

"Pumaman"! How could you not have the first flying scene from "Pumaman"? I really enjoy these videos of yours! Keep up the good work!

SAVE THE MEATLOAF

[MrMichaelS85]

@Scorpion14 lol, lost it so hard when that happened. i loved Trace's yells.

[Floovf]

My favorite is the scene from Monster a Go Go where, instead of having a phone ring, someone offscreen just makes a phone noise.

[rettic]

You need to do one for weirdest moments if you haven't already. Watch out for snakes!

[grife3000]

Five bonus points for correctly naming "Attack of the the Eye Creatures".

[Snoofalah]

The intro to the show had better special effects.

[krystalfan]

crow said it best..... "special effects by billy"

[SimonHenrichsen]

Ba-ba-daba-dabah...

[evrbody]

Prince of Space for the most obvious "plate-on-a-string" spaceship effects in the history of film.

[JoltenJoetaco]

I really liked the pipe cleaners in Giant (Spider) Puppet Invasion

[BryonYoungblood]

THEY JUST DIDN'T CARE!!!

[charlesfosterkane]

DAS TOYBOAT

[neoterous]

is that house in #2 the same one from hobgoblins? looks familiar

[SliverMonstrosityInc]

I don't know if you want to consider it cinematography or special fx but the reactions of the women during their plane crash in 'Horrors of Spider Island'?

[luvanani]

"special effects by Billy" Love it! Thank you for sharing these.

Hobgoblins -- "Just let go and they'll hit the floor"

Prince of Space -- "I'll throw my doll at you"

[tigerboy1966]

Good picks, but I would have to have had "Pumaman- he flies like a moron" in there.

[Psychid45]

DAMN BUMPASSES' DINOSAURS!!!

[megamarsvin]

Granted these are some poor effects but they still beat most "original Syfy movies" :p

[UKISOCIETY]

Awesome picks! Made me LMAO

[eekoutasignal]

Let's not forget about the Christmas decoration that brought Richard Kiel to Earth in "The Human Duplicators".

[nintendo1889x]

2:04: SAVE THE MEATLOAF! Man that movie's really bad, even for 1997

[PyrozPlayground]

Special effects by Billy! lol

[ChocolatePiazza]

Some of my favorites:

The Volkswagen Beetle with legs in "Giant Spider Invasion"

the giant plushie polar bear in "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians"

the grasshoppers crawling on a postcard of Chicago skyline in "The Begining of the End"

The title creatures in "The Black Scorpions"

The costumes in "Prince of Space"

[wicaco]

Um, really? How could you overlook the lobster monster from Teenagers From Outer Space?

[ChannelBluesy]

"Ladies and gentlemen, the budget just ran out, if you can bear with us..."

[TimelordR]

I have but 1 word to sum up all those SFX clips: CRAPTASTIC!!

[thefaboloussob]

I saw "Future War." Oh boy was that a hideous puppet.

[rnigma]

"There was a stick involved."

[Nightweaver1]

Special effects by Billy!

[DrThunder88]

"12 to the Moon" also featured a great eschewing of special effects with their invisible, electromagnetic ray screens!

[RingshadowCat]

2:25 Toy boat Toy boat Toy Boat Toy Boat Toy Boat

[Basssinger86]

Ah, the ocean is beautiful on this side of the tub.

[customcartoons]

I have to watch #3 through my fingers, it's just so painful!

[erictwhitman]

I'd say the invisible bad guys from "Cave Dwellers."

[jetfire851]

The only choice for #1, really. "Special effects by Billy!"

[ColonelHoraldo]

How about Puma Man's flying scenes?

[BryonYoungblood]

"Get this toy outta here, quick!!"

The spaceship battles in Space Mutiny work as my nomination since it's just recycled Battlestar Galactica footage!

[MarkFanboyX]

"These are not toys." Oh, I'm afraid they are.

[MelissaTwosheds]

The hobgoblins from 'Hobgoblins'.

[UTFan666]

LMAO.

GODS I MISS THOSE GUYS!!!

That last one was the best.

[Spacew12]

@UTFan666 they are still doing something very much like this called rifftrax, and cinematic titanic you know.

[Anynom]

Number one makes Bert I Gordon look like Michael Bay.
