MST3K - Hobgoblins (part 10)

[Wumingde]

I know Servo's eyes are supposed to be on his dome, but I always imagine them being just below the dome, above the mouth. Am I alone in this?

[staticradio724]

Kiss Kicker! So *that's* what the band at the club was singing!

[Glitcher2000]

I flip out every time I see Nick come back with only a few bandages. I DO believe Rick Sloane was high on crack.

[KaristaSwiss]

:50 There was an accident at the studio.. we made Hobgoblins :)

[RichterTheEternal]

One of my biggest gripes with this movie and any other low-budget 80's cheese out there is the illusion of sexual content in them. (x. talk about and simulate sex but we never see it, actors/actresses try to be sexy but never get nude and they look too stuck up to take their clothes off on film anyway, film was obviously made to be shown to not just adults, but to younger audiences as well, etc)

[GrandLordGeek]

As we progress through the parts of the movie, viewer attrition mounts; nearly 20,000 viewers didn't make it to the end of Hobgoblins. Lol

[GatorBaby06]

@3:51 I almost flipped out when I saw the songwriter of Hayride to Hell and Joel Hodgson had the same last name.

BTW there are only two letters that come to mind before, during, and after watching this film - from the director's heart to yours....

F U

Why did the end of the movie have clips of the movie after the movie was finished? I will boycott any movie I see with the name Rick Sloan in it.

Two words for you Sloan

UP YOURS

-T.Servo

[kftc88]

Bwah ha Pearl sounds like my Mom at the end there. Happily she didn't have Pearl's access to explosives.

[Indigokitteh]

Wait...didn't Nick burn to death?

[crimsontowers]

once again MST3K remains one of the funniest fucking shows i've ever seen, been cracking me up since the sci-fi channel days, & i don't care if its Mike or Joel, season 2 or 8 i love this show. goddamn episodes need to be kept for posterity, so years from now people can see what humor is, i'd say sent to space with Mozart & Picasso but we don't want extraterrestrials to see the films themselves & feel obligated to firebomb Earth to prevent more such atrocities

[KingSnarf]

I didn't think it was all that bad a movie. Not that it isn't terrible; oh heavens yes, it's wretched! It's just that, as a lad, I watched many a film on USA Up All Night, so I had built up a tolerance to this movie's particular brand of awful.

[PhyscoZombieChickie]

@KingSnarf oh yes entirely, this movie is truly awful but i feel like as far as bad movies go this was thoroughly entertaining.

[Srgeman]

"Daphne, I know your boyfriend got blowed-up earlier, but here's a fucking flower, will you have sex with me?"

[BionicTurtleWizard]

Red shorts is creepy

[iloveipodlinux]

You know I gotta be honest here. If there is a Hell, this must be it; watching Hobgoblins over and over for freaking eternity.

[HoserSaysWhat]

I'm really glad Nick's mysteriously alive again, he was the funniest character in this movie, by far.

[panoruryu]

This movie is still better than the Twilight series

[Johnlindsey289]

@panoruryu

Do you find the Twilight series annoying?

[crimsontowers]

@Johnlindsey289 "Is Twilight annoying?" why not ask "is Army of Darkness completely badass?" or

"If i consume nourishment, will i shit? or perhaps

"if i ask an utterly retarded question on the net, will someone inform me of such & berate me for doing so?"

twilight & its fans embody all that is wrong with modern film/literature, culture & humanity.

they are leaders of the flocks of masturbatory pop-culture sheep-whores who live at hot topic & assimilate all that is undesirable in the world

[Ayria]

@panoruryu The Room is better than the Twilight series

[scitsalcoryp]

This flick is the low point in human civilization as we know it

[Kendorager]

Hobgoblins: "When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do."

[joemomma46]

"There's been an accident at the studio"

-"We made Hobgoblins."

hahahaha

[Mystic453196]

lol pig licker

[Gigrantula58]

Yes...yes...I had been doing quite a bit of crack that day!

[ohrwurm]

I don't mean to yell. I just really want everyone to stay off the couch.

[massefect942]

i was hoping they did something right and let army man die

[chestveeg]

The best thing to come out of this movie is kiss kicker.... Looking it up now !

[DAVIDInitiative]

Hobgoblins: Proof that if you can dream, you can take that dream, put it through a cheese grater, rub it against your crotch, masturbate atop it, leave it out in the sun for a few months.... and do it!

I think those were the ingredients that went into that script - a human being did not write this movie, I do believe that is physically impossible.

[kokami87]

@DAVIDInitiative You think that... and then you look at Stephanie Meyer and the Twilight series.

[xRocketNumber9x]

Now this movie is some serious "deep hurting".

[JayBird4theW1N]

DUDE! The weird kid was TOTALLY feeling Daphne up when he put on that corsage!

[putzthewondersloth]

This movie makes me want to beat Rick Sloane with an ax handle and not stop until I feel I have worked out my issues with this film. It may take until 2021.

[millenniumf1138]

@putzthewondersloth Just till 2021? You must be one of the lucky few who were relatively unaffected by the film. Most people would probably spend the rest of their life beating him with a garden rake after being exposed to the first twenty minutes.

[KojiroBASARA]

Considering the van sounds, the sudden not-dead of Nick, and the ending line, i wonder if this movie wasn't intentionally made horribly as some kind of ironic statement.

[flyingzombie1]

I'm gonna call the Sears & Roebuck and get some dry goods.

[Casey5693]

Daphne...... Nicky....... Van! Wow!

[Theburn77]

"Can I use your phone?" lol

[Spameggssausage]

"creatures celebrity voices impersonated"?????

there WERE no celebrity impressions in this movie!

and why didn't the MST guys make a joke about that?

[Freebleeper]

7:40, OH! they're in love!

[WINFIELD32750]

the ending was so far from serious, that i have to think that sloane knew what he had made, so this may have been an ok movie somehow

[Gr8fulElegy]

oh.....isn't slutting fun!

[ColonelHoraldo]

What was that giggling right at the end of the film credits?

[Gigrantula58]

This movie was as bad as "The Final Sacrifice", "Manos", and "Mitchell" all rolled into one. What the hell? If you read Wikipedia, it says Rick Sloane loved the treatment his film got until the very end when they made fun of him. Seriously? Didn't Rick Sloane personally send a copy of this movie specifically so they could make fun of it? What did he expect? "No, Rick, you aren't a crackhead"?

[jekblom123]

3:41 KISS KICKER! thats what they were saying!

[buddyriptide]

The women in this film are like the ones in my life. Like Daphne slutty and ugly but before you get desperate she's dating a stupid dumbshit. Like Amy frigid like an icicle, will hate you because she hates sex and then does some weird striptease. Like Fantasia old and tacky trying to kill you. Lastly like Pixie, kinda cool but bad hair, can't dance and has an attitude problem. I was attracted to every woman in this film. Is that wrong?

[Spameggssausage]

@buddyriptide yes. yes it is.

[ChaoticYak]

I think in terms of inherent quality of the plot and stuff like that, other movies they've watched have been worse, but in terms of making characters who were completely depraved and utterly unlikable, Hobgoblins is way worse than any other movie featured on MST3K.

[krudmonger]

When the most likeable character in your movie is a vault door, something's gone horribly wrong.

[tylercreighton]

...VAN!!!

and Spit Spingolla on lead vocals!!!

[tylercreighton]

...VAN!!!

and Spit Spagnolla on lead vocals!!!

[tylercreighton]

...VAN!!!

[stokes91]

did the credits really say "creatures celebrity voices impersonated"

really, REALLY?

[Somarinoa]

@stokes91 No, luckily it was all a dream - a horrible, HORRIBLE dream!!

[MINESWEEP2k]

"PLEASE STAY IN YOUR SEATS UNTIL THE FILM COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP."

SCREW YOU, I'm leaving!!

-MINESWEEP

[DarthVenge]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore. They made Hobgoblins here.

[watda74]

-You know, Servo? I couldn't help but notice-

-Stay out of it, Nelson.

-OK.

X-D

[fledermaus81]

"I had no preconceived notions about Rick Sloane's weight. I guess I'm not a racist like you are, Mike!" XD

[JimGrim90]

As if the images couldn't get any more disgusting, now he has 3rd degree burns.

[MarzX1]

wow.. that movie was terrible lol

[drag0neve]

wow what a terrible movie, i wish the angel of death would have came for me too.

[Hallinilla9]

Tom Servonator!

[Treenord488]

7:35 OH THUNDER ROAAAAD!!!

[ChaoticYak]

Mike, one thing I learned from this movie is that Daphne is a slut and Amy wasn't fun until she became a slut.

Well, that's the fun message!

[kevinhardy]

lol

[mylamename14]

1:38 "Creatures celebrity voices impersonated"? Seriously? How much more lame could they get?

[eits1986]

Crow always "messes" the skits up within the context of the show, making them funnier for us. 

[scooteratreides]

Which is worse: Manos or Hobgoblins? I found Manos more enjoyable because it's badness was primarily due to simple--though extreme--incompetence. Hobgoblins, on the other hand, feels like the product of profound apathy. You get the feeling that even if Rick Sloane could have made a better movie, he wouldn't have. There seems an almost palpable malice towards both moviegoers and the art of cinema itself at work here that I didn't get from Manos. Essentially, Rick Sloane is Hal Warren with no soul

[WhiteTiger225]

@scooteratreides You are a minority. Most fall asleep during manos XD MST3k ratings were hurt during that episode XD But came right back during the next episode.

At least Hobgoblins keeps you awake,, Manos though... UGH!

[scooteratreides]

@WhiteTiger225 You say "keeps you awake" like that's a good thing.

[trapadoored]

@WhiteTiger225

experiments I think are worse than Manos: Beast of yucca flats,radar secret serive, racket Girls, starfighters,Hamlet. -although think all of these are great episodes(except Hamlet)-with really terrible movies

[Longknife]

KISS KICKER!!!

That's what they were singing in the band scene.

[JollyJollies22]

:48 ...Mr. Cum Sock?? What?!

[Firesidetalker]

Kiss Kicker?! That was the name of that stupid song?!?

[cchasler]

This movie is worse than cancer!

[MattChrisF]

"When you came up for the idea for 'Hobgoblins' were you high on crack. (Say yes.)"

"Yes, yes, I had been doing quite a bit of crack that day as I recall."

[Persphonefallen]

Worst movie EVER made for BEST MST3K EVER! :)

[jekblom123]

"Rick sloane's insperation for hobgoblins is like a stout, red automatron kicking him in the shins."

"Stout? STOUT? That bastard, I'm going back to kill 'em."

[couchfort]

Yes yes, I had been doing quite a bit of crack that day

[demboys18]

0:18 - wha....wha.but..he was dead! He was burned up! He jumps on a grenade and he gets a broken leg and a skinned shoulder balde? RRRR, even the toolbag didn't die in this movie!

[demboys18]

0:18 - wha....wha...but...but..he was dead! He was burned up! He jumps on a grenade and he gets a broken leg and a skinned shoulder balde? RRRR, even the toolbag didn't die in this movie!

[InterEDGE]

Mr. Cumsum???

[InHomeGuitarLessons]

is this the worst movie ever made?

I need to know...thank you.

[theSuperMetroid]

@InHomeGuitarLessons

it's certainly up there (or down there i guess) but I'd say Monster A Go-Go, Manos and The Creeping Terror are worse

[InHomeGuitarLessons]

@theSuperMetroid I tried to watch the MST3k videos yous suggested, but I get Nauseous. I'm not sure if that's normal or not. At least this one doesn't make me sick to my stomach

[theSuperMetroid]

@InHomeGuitarLessons

right, so like i said, those movies are worse.

My personal bottom 5:

1-Monster A Go-Go (worst ending in cinema history)

2-Red Zone Cuba (What was the point of ANYTHING in this movie?)

3-Beast of Yucca Flats (The real monster here was the mom. Ew!)

4-The Creeping Terror (Dull beyond belief)

5-Manos The Hands of Fate (Terrible in every way, but there's a strange hypnotic quality about it that makes it entertaining, and Torgo is hilarious)

[kissfan7]

@theSuperMetroid

"Monster A Go-Go (worst ending in cinema history)"

Joel was always unlike Mike in that he made less jokes about hating the movie. But "Monster-A-Go-Go" is the first, and so far only, time I saw him get really, really mad at a movie.

[kissfan7]

Though I am still on record as saying "The Creeping Terror" is the worst thing ever filmed. All movies have some tiny redeeming quality, some brief moment of simple competence by the actors, the director, the extas, the sound person, the camera guy, the caterer... somebody, anybody. "The Creeping Terror" had none. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

I will go to my grave saying there has never been and will never be a worse movie.

[SGTxBingus]

@kissfan7 maybe, but have you ever seen "Assault on Precinct 13"? that was a horrible film. Even if these guys riffed on it (have they?), I wouldn't sit through it again.

[kissfan7]

@SGTxBingus

This sounds like a challange. Very well, I ACCEPT!

The new "Assault on Precinct 13" or the old one?

[SGTxBingus]

@kissfan7 the old one (1976). I didn't even realize there was a new one until you told me, but after watching it I can say it's not nearly as bad as the original. The '76 version makes no sense, has annoying characters, and drags on FOREVER thanks to an extended sequence of dialogue-free looping footage of bullets ripping into everything but their intended targets.

[AJTazesYou]

@kissfan7 two words. plan nine. before we found it to be so bad its good, just when its bad.

[kissfan7]

@AJTazesYou

"Plan Nine" was bad, but I think it's slightly overrated. Or is it underrated? There are other films without as much exposure I consider much worse. It doesn't have the acting of "Manos", the cinematography of a Coleman Francis film, or the horrible, horrible concept that "Titanic: The Legend Goes On" created. I thought the anti-nuclear message of "Plan Nine" was pretty clever, if a bit naive and not 100% scientifically accurate.

RiffTrax's version is awesome, though.

[SoApBoX]

After being blown up by a grenade on his chest which makes his entire body into fire(Ahhhhhh. Ahhhhhhhh.), Nick only comes back with some bangages and crutches?

[shrews12001]

Now that this is over, I feel free to say the following..

F**K YOU MOVIE. F**K YOU RIGHT IN THE EAR. You're garbage! You are retched discharge from the pus filled caverns of cinema Hell. I hate you and all you stand for. You are to film what FIRE is to film. My rage against you will not be contained as long as you exist, you have been warned, movie. Also, I have prepared a song to sum up my feelings

Da duh da duh duh dum, EAT IT MOVIE!

[scitsalcoryp]

@shrews12001 fucking excellent

[HumorFunnyHaHaComedy]

VAN!!!

god I hate this thing

[IAmThePumaMan]

"Did I ever tell you what I did in the war?" "No." Crow-"Shot off my toe and got out." I laughed my ass off at that part!

[guysmiley00]

That movie made me psychically angry.

[NUTCASE71733]

@guysmiley00

Don't you mean "physically"?

[guysmiley00]

@NUTCASE71733 Nope - it made me so angry I could see through time.

[M0VIES4U2]

4:35

[ChaoticYak]

I love the end.

Pearl: I don't mean to yell. I just want everyone to stay off the couch.

[iucniael]

rofl at time machine part XD

[634devil]

"Yes I had been doing quite alot crack that day!"

[otherfool]

There's been a terrible mistake at the studio

- We filmed Hobgoblins!

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

Oh man, I'd give that comment ten thumbs up if I could. :D

[Daelock]

@otherfool One of my favorite lines in MST history.

[tagginos]

Oh God, the faux interview made me laugh so hard I cried. Crow's voice!

[modchic720]

The actress playing Daphne was also the movie's casting director?

That explains a lot...

[tetavo]

and...OH MY GOSH nick shows up with a bandage and crutches from the side of the screen, miraculously surviving a grenade blast to the chest! rockin' it disney death style :)

[serpico89]

awh maan you spoiled the twist ending hahahaha

[ElveeKaye]

So, who's the more shallow girlfriend, Daphne or Amy? One is only interested in sex, and the other only loves her man if he risks his life in a fight.

1:52 The Fontanelles' vocals were done by Spit Spingola! XD

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

More shallow? Definitely Amy. Her boyfriend had to LITERALLY risk his life fighting an armed criminal to earn her respect. And I blame the boyfriend too because he puts up with it because he's so p****-whipped.

Daphne is the bigger slut by far. I think Nick needs to raise his standards a wee bit higher, but with a man like him, that won't happen. Nick is just as sex-starved as she is.

[serpico89]

@RadcliffOfCrymod ....are you seriously dissecting hobgoblins as a legit movie? XD

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

Well granted it is a bad movie, but I think they (the MST guys) have watched worse.

[scooteratreides]

@ElveeKaye Daphne's shallow, but she's honest and forthright in her shallowness. Amy's every bit the slut Daphne is, but she plays the goody-goody. Daphne didn't need to fantasize about stripping for a roomful of degenerates and drunken sex with a sweaty biker--that's any given Wednesday for her.

[fuckingowned666]

Oh man I laughed my ass off at this whole episode, even though there were a lot of references I didn't get.

[KristiChan1]

I've gotta say so far this has been the worst movie I've seen Mike and the robots tormented with.

So far.

[Coldsnapz]

So all the characters survived? C'mon movie you could have at least given me the bitter satisfaction for one of the characters to die.

[McDicker96]

you forget its the 80's only black cops with one day left till retirement die in the 80's

[MartianBuddy88]

"Bitter Satisfaction?" Somebody dying would have been the best part of the whole movie...

[t0t3n3ng3l]

@Coldsnapz Preferably the skank.

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

"There's been an accident at the studio."

We made Hobgoblins!

[Somarinoa]

@DrGregoryHouseIT Haha yeah, one of the best jokes thrown at the film. Great episode!

[KidChaos5150]

you didn't see the brain that wouldn't die

[whitless1121]

actually i think that the screaming skull was one of their best. the movie itself is horrendous but them making fun of it is great! still my favorite to date.

[shaneneal88]

i would have to say the worst 3 mst3k movies are

1. the screaming skull

2. godzilla

3. the bloody waters of dr z

if u can think of any worse feel free to let me know

[CherryIce1114]

Free Coffin if you die of fright

[redfan45x]

laserblast

[Flyingbadgers2001]

Manos!

[VerySourLemon]

You forgot ONE more....

Manos: The Hands of Fate.....

[M0VIES4U2]

Manos: The Hands of Fate

[serpico89]

the final sacrifice is one of the worst. seriously like NOTHING happens in that movie. summary - boy wants to find "lost city," boy is chased by bad guys, boy meets two dirty guys, main villain gets killed. its like they tried to put meaning in it but ended up prolonging the agony of watching it. and you can't forget - rowsdower!!

[shaneneal88]

good point on all ive seen those and ur right rows dower was pretty bad but final sacrifice now takes place of number 1 about dislocated my jaw from yawning so much

[kissfan7]

@shaneneal88

"i would have to say the worst 3 mst3k movies are

[...]

2. godzilla"

You don't remember the full title by any chance do you?

[shaneneal88]

@kissfan7 sorry i know the movie but for the life of me i can't remember the full title

[Applemask]

The message of this movie: all teenagers are obsessed with sex (particularly dirty sex at that), and those that aren't, should be.

[seanThree16]

Ooooh, so the band was saying "Kiss Kicker".

[BXVAce]

Bad news, there's a Hobgoblins sequel.

[cchasler]

@BXVAce NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lostonthewayhere]

After watching MST3K for I while now, I think I can safely say which are the three most annoying characters that I've ever seen:

3: The "I don't care" kid from "Time of the Apes"

2: The shirtless guy in "Boggy Creek II"

1: EVERY CHARACTER in "Hobgoblins"

If anyone can think of characters that are even more annoying, feel free to let me know.

[AndRod29]

The little japanese kid from Godzilla vs Megalon

[Albedo238]

What about Lea Jansen a.k.a. "Dr. Lady" from Space Mutiny?

[manwithoutabody]

The children in Invasion of the Neptune Men.

The entire cast of The Wild Wild World of Batwoman.

[Alfrunk]

The japanese chink kid from Prince of Space.

[Delta4845]

you forgot the "I'm Coming" Guy from The Delta Knights XD

[ManaAdvent]

Terrible, horribaf*ckus piece of sh*t of a film.

Someone in Hollywood will gonna make a remake for this and I will be very surprise if they make it WORST than the original!

[KaristaSwiss]

:55 thers an accident at the station

We made HOBGOBLINS :)

[badluckshadow13]

XD I love the crazy old guy, that dude was seriously nuts...

[Mglosk]

MST3K end music always sounds so depressing and sad to me. The opening music is so happy and upbeat.

[mfsgoodlilslave]

Yea i always thought that too, its like *sigh* "the show's over..." =(

[Oppledeldoc]

As long as BIG movies exist, this CHEAP one cannot be the worst ever made.

[KaristaSwiss]

IS what Tom Says about Rick SLoan TOO MEAN?

[trapadoored]

no.

[livinintwilightzone]

Yeah! It's over!

[ShinyRayquaza2]

Guys? I'll be right back. *leaves to create a faux Rick Sloane*

[MutatedIguana]

This movie makes me unclean, even after the MST3K inserted jokes! IT'S THAT HORRIBLE!

[zappascotland]

Agree!

[sokarsfleet]

Imagine if they did Daphines fantasties God it probably would have tore a hole in space and destoryed the world.

[livinintwilightzone]

Maybe the whole damn movie was Daphnie's fantasy.

[danleo2385]

thats awesome, the old guys sittin there on the phone while the skank and tard are bangin in the van

[FIGOMAN11]

that movie was so bad I literally feel sick.

[ars731]

There's been an accident at the studio

"We made Hobgoblins"

[BlasphemousApples]

Wow, Hobgoblins is the worst movie ever... Right up there with Santa Conquers the Martians and The Love Guru...

[vlcupper]

This movie is redeemed (slightly) by Jock Itch and "Fish Picker." Love Guru has Mike Myers and Justin Timberdouche.

[azulo65]

Well that was a pile of crap!

[htomsirveaux42]

Good news everyone! Hobgoblins 2 comes out next week! (June 23) wait thats not good news at all

[Adrialgon]

This is the worst movie ever made. If I ever go to Hell, I'll be forced to watch this movie.

[animegrrl5k]

"were you high on crack?"

LOL.
