Weekend Discussion Thread: Which Dinner/Party/Gathering in a MSTed Movie Would You Like to Be Invited to?

Holiday gatherings are happening and alert regular Sue suggests:

We’ve had “which party in a MST’ed movie would you most like to be invited to” and “Which MST characters would you invite for Thanksgiving,” but how about “Which dinner or meal in a MSTed movie or short would you most like to be invited to?”
The food in “Young Man’s Fancy” sounded pretty good — ham steak (although it looked like some other kind of meat altogether), potatoes, buttered beans, and cherry pie with whipped cream. The big downside would be listening to Alexander Phipps go on and on about electricity and Judy being squishy.

Your pick can be any kind of gathering, but I’m going to go with the snarky dinner in “It Conquered the World.” I’d just have to have some 3×5 cards with rude observations on them.

What’s your pick?

    I’m going with the Killer Shrews menu; booze, booze and more booze!

    The Killer shrews had eat THREE TIMES THEIR BODY WEIGHT DAILY. Evidently, the humans had to drink 3x their body weight daily.

    Added bonus was having Griswold who could play Dixieland Jazz.

    Lunch at Johnny Longbone’s would be awesome of course, but if I didn’t have any big plans for the evening, I’d go to the ‘Werewolf’ dinner party: dance to some Richard Clayderman, say ‘howdy’ to Minnie Pearl, get drunk with Yuri then take a walk over to Kirk Douglas’s house.

    The party by the kids who made Time Chasers, hey, all the maple syrup and
    supermarket veggies you can eat—at least until they saw
    their cinema getting ripped by the Brains. :(

    Then again, say what you will of Mitchell, he obviously knows where high volume food
    can be procured. I mean lots of beer, hookers, fast food snacks and I’m sure
    hamburger sammiches with garnish!

    And after a repast join Crow and Tom to beat Monty to Mssina.

    I don’t think it gets any better than the party to organize the scavenger sale in What To Do On A Date: Paper elephants telling you where the knick-knacks are, bulletin boards promoting fun and wholesome activities, and plenty of sandwiches and ice cream.

    Joel – “Ice cream! I love this party!”

    How about a hoppin’ Teenage Strangler party down at the local diner?
    Golly gee, folks.
    Lots of ice cream sodas and ham’erger sammiches (no credit, though, we’d all hafta pay cash), and a live performance of ‘Yipe Stripes’ on the front counter.
    Plus all the keen kids would be doin’ The Butt on the dance flo’.

    Darn kids, with their hoolahoops and their fancy jazz…

    Is the pre-Tina-gettin’-killed party in Horror Of Party Beach acceptable? I know it’s not *quite* the same as what the topic specifies, but seriously, sixties beach chicks, beer with Johnny Mathis and the Conan O’Briens, and a really pretty decent band (even if that one guy’s skull does do odd things). That’s certainly where I’d want to be!

    Second choice: squid eyes and boot black talk with Wally and the gang at the beginning of Prince Of Space. Besides, I wouldn’t want to miss the World Championship!

    I thought about that party at John Taylor’s yacht but I’d be the only sober one there and I HATE that.

    Then I considered the SKYDIVERS party with the wild music and the Village People auditions where I could talk to the Scotsman and the giantess, but they don’t seem to have any food.

    Then there was the beach party in THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH but then I’d have to wear a bathing suit and dance and that’s out.

    So I guess I’ll just stay home. “Sigh…”

  31. Best Party: ‘Horrors Of Spider Island’ with all the girls dancing in their underwear (Just no spiders, please.)
    Worst Party: The depressing get together from the ‘General Hospital’ short. Booze could have saved it.

  32. I’d like to go to any party with Mamie Van Doren, specifically at Girls Town (live performance by Paul Anka!) but if the nuns are being uptight and I couldn’t get in over there, I guess I’d follow Mamie over to the low-key barn party in Untamed Youth. Sure, we’d be prisoners working in cotton fields, but. . . . OH MAMIE!! :inlove:

    I’d definitely pick the annual Delta Knights pancake breakfast from Quest of the Delta Knights!

    Sure, I’d have to deal with being pelted by hard candy, and having Bobo steal most of the pancakes and syrup, but still…

    …oh wait, that scene wasn’t in the actual movie, was it?

    Well, drat. I really wanted pancakes.

    Or waffles.

    Oooo! Oooo! The Viking Women and the Sea Serpent!

    I vaguely remember something about waffles from that one – sure, it was very subtly interwoven throughout the overall narrative, but it was definitely there.

    Yessir, I’d just love to be invited to the big Viking… uh, waffle party… I’m sure they had… somewhere in the movie?

    Hang on, let me double-check.

    DAGNABBIT.

    Okay, so since there apparently AREN’T any parties in the actual MSTed movies with a good pancake and/or waffle focus (a travesty, I say, a travesty!)…

    …then I suppose I’d have to choose the various parties from Catalina Caper.

    Sure, there’s a lot of embarrassing “dancing” to do. But based upon the available evidence, even *I* could flail myself around more artfully than some of our main characters. (Well, one or two of them, at least.)

    Plus, for the most part, there’s no real serious danger lurking in the shadows of any of those parties. Ignoring minor incidents with murderous scuba divers (I wouldn’t go scuba diving anyway), there’s just the occasional risk of having to endure wacky hijinks and comedic pratfalls. And humorous xylophone music cues.

    (Or, wait, was that just his watch making that sound? Or maybe his iPhone? I think my iPhone makes that sound sometimes, too.)

    ((Note to self: adjust ringtone settings later, to avoid kooky xylophone ringtone hijinks.))

    None of which *quite* makes up for the otherwise conspicuous pancakelessness and wafflelessness of the parties in question, mind you.

    Then again… a lot of those girls are really cute, aren’t they? Particularly that one redhead who reminds me of Diana Rigg…

    …okay, lack of pancakes and waffles forgiven!

    HORROR OF PARTY BEACH — Because I would love chugging Cointreau on the beach, listening to the Del Aires, and having my head rammed into someone’s stomach! And of course there’s also Tina’s aborted stripping act and the Suze’s Butt Festival to enjoy. :)

    I’ve always wanted to party with the Fire Maidens of Outer Space. Even their human sacrifices are lighthearted fun. You’ll want to go easy on the sauce though. The drinks they serve are really potent. They’ve even got something called a gas bomb which can knock you right out. I think maybe I’ll just step into the Metalunan Bong for a minute or three. At least until the angry immolated inarticulate mime leaves. He’s the only drag on the planet. Who keeps inviting him anyway?
