Beginning of the End - 9/9

[SamuraiTex84]

Now I know where Jeremy Jahns got his sign off punch.

[tripoli911]

@VozDRazon I wonder how many people now know they are watching a really terrible movie...

[Tareltonlives]

The Grasshoppers died in vain-production would continue on Transformers 3

[Oppledeldoc]

"Defend Ringo at all costs."

I never noticed that line till this time.

[nataliestardust]

RIP Peter Graves

[ChaoticYak]

Well, we just spent the goofiest week of our entire lives.

[KingDiggs21]

"Protect Ringo at all costs!" "Aah, they're attacking me" LOL

I love it when they make each other laugh

[MajorMotionStudios]

THIS movie was called the beginning of the end? it was only a few hundred giant bugs, and they all drowned! no end was begun!

[TimelordR]

Only MST3K can turn mutated creatures (spiders, scorpions, locusts, worms,Torgo...) into targets of ridicule.

Too bad they never did "Empire Of The Ants".

[anemicroyaltea69]

@TimelordR ....I just have to say, I love how you added Torgo in there, lmao. So true.

One week later, Chicago was destroyed by a huge swarm of seagulls.

[ChaoticYak]

"He learned too late that Man is a feeling creature..."

[Applemask]

I thought Peter Graves was pretty classy in this film, myself.

[snipetracker]

1:00 What is the origin of Tom's "YEEEEEEESSSSSSS?" He says it twice in this episode, and in other episodes as well, and it cracks me up, yet I don't where it comes from exactly.

[Applemask]

@snipetracker Frank Nelson (no relation), shopkeeper of every store Jack Benny ever walked into.

[snipetracker]

@Applemask Hmmmm...eh, could be. :)

[Gjeorje]

...Ironically the very next month Chicago was destroyed by giant corn monsters..

[Dulcimerist]

Were they using lubber grasshoppers in this?

[melodyssong4916]

Dr. F makes my day. :)

[pierstheoneandonly]

It's not the grasshoppers that were taking over - it was Peter Graves! Although the film started with Peggie Castle as an important lead character (in the form of an investigative reporter), she never got a look in after Graves entered the fray, and was reduced to an accessory for the latter.

[Gjeorje]

@pierstheoneandonly - Hey, don`t complain - at one point it looked like it was going to turn into "Hogan`s Heroes" with Peter Graves` Colonel Klink to the grasshopper`s Hogan.

[MST3K1986]

WE ARE MEEEEEENNNNNN!!!

[ChaoticYak]

Did you notice that this episode was "shot entirely in Minneapolis, home of the University of Minnesota"?

[Windclaw]

And frank punches out the camera! YES!

[SeoulMan]

"I'm Peter Graves, and I'm done!"

But not forgotten, we miss you Peter!

[KaterzTheMSTie]

Thanks for posting. I love this episode. :)

[Moredread25]

That wasn't so bad. It was cheserific.

[SeoulMan]

"You know, we just spent the goofiest week of our entire lives!"

This was also used in "The Creeping Terror"

[SuperJaneEyre]

I love Mike's Liverpool-y "Oh they're attacking me." lol

Thanks again so much for this episode!

[ChaoticYak]

Trace really does an excellent Peter Graves impression.

[fancifree221b]

2:38

I love how Mike seems to actually laugh at Tom for a moment there.

[biogunproductions]

"Hey, hey, slow down there Romeo. Where's your other hand?"

[Tareltonlives]

"Well, we've just spent the goofiest week of our entire lives"

And so Lou Malnatti's introduced the new Grasshopper Pizza.....

1:45

[s1lverfalcon]

And there go Dr. F's glasses.

[wrght9185]

Frank fights dirty! I love it!

[johnnui]

Its gonna be tough for them.  All they really shared was the grasshoppers. XD

[animegrrl5k]

HAHA! I love how when TV's Frank kicks Dr. F his glasses go flying up.

We're Men!!

[VeryAngryCamel]

@animegrrl5k lol i love that they folded themselves up XD

[sleepyhollow783]

Crow as Peter Graves, priceless!

[MushroomBluex]

all right men...into the woods....

[JackKlompus13]

I'm Peter Graves.
