Weekend Discussion Thread: Olympic Events Based on MSTed Movies

Yep, it’s time again for the Olympics, and, hey! I’ve got a crazy idea!

What new olympic events can you dream up, based on MSTed movies?

The first one that comes to mind is the Ator-athlon, where you have to make (from twigs and whatever you can find) a hang glider, and then fly it to the nearest castle.

What’s your event?

    a kind of cruel but funny event would be high hurdle relay with all of the runners dressed like Torgo, big knees and all.

    The Giant Gila Monster endurance race where you drive over bumpy ground in a car loaded with nitro, until only one is left. First place gets gold medal. Everyone else gets a big memorial service.

    How about a Coleman francis twist on the classic rock, paper scissors. “Water, Sick man, Fever”. The goal is to break out of captivity in a second or third world country. Then team is not only judges on breaking out of the cell but also out of the compound as a whole. Extra points for necksnaps, being in Cuba and actually getting water for a teammate

    Laserblasting. This is a challenging Olympic event. Contestants drive in a pickup shooting at signs as
    they are driven at speeds approaching 50 miles per hour! Bonus points are awarded for waving the arm
    attached blaster after every successful shot. Final event involves a high noon shootout with goofy aliens.
    Those not finishing in top 3 places must take a dip in refreshing Brazilian water without using any insect repellant.

    From Prince Of Space:

    The 200 Meter Prance
    Contestants dressed in tights, capes, and goofy masks skip and prance across a 200 meter course, avoiding obstacles & taunting their opposition (“Haven’t I told you your weapons are useless against me?”).

    Boot Blacking (Exhibition Event)
    Odds are you’ll like it very much.

    Then there’s coed skinny dipping competitive swimming in a cool New England lake
    (talk about shrinkage). To qualify must be physicists and be capable of
    putting together an interociter within 30 minutes. Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal winners
    receive an all expense paid trip to Metaluna (must arrange own transport back for obvious reasons).

    The 5K Sodium relay – this one is tricky because competitors may become distracted in the middle of the course, wander aimlessly, then remember why they’re there, so this may take a while.

    Apple Slapping? Your teammate holds an apple, and says “want some?”, and you slap the apple. Longest distance wins the gold. Or a pizza…. or a free pass to the Hi-Note.

    Other Final Justice events:
    1.) The “Go Ahead On!” event. Contestants must not draw until referee says (Oh, you know).
    2) Six pack lifting event. This is extremely challenging. Contenders
    must lift a six pack (Schlitz preferred) and open and drink all using only feet and toes.
    3) Shooting empty cans off a wall. Contestants must trounce 5-10 year olds in accuracy.
    4) Hooker “entertaining.” This is a time limited event. Granted, it’s not Final Justice.
    5) Goosio tossing. Self explanatory.

    It’s the Double 007 Archery Competition, where the competitors shoot at live targets armed with spear guns. In the finals, the archers shoot at each other. Bonus points for the best Jolson.

    Followed by the Pumaman flight competition. Competitors must fly one mile, with the judges adding points based on costume dorkiness, awkward technique and violations of the laws of physics.

    1. The Renee-Don’t-Walk-Away crossbow event: round up cartel gangsters and impale them against walls with home-made arrows. Points for placement, depth of impact into the wall, and length of time till death as counted off by the audience.

    2. The Runaway MMA event: points awarded for not blocking or moving while opponent winds into increasingly complex striking moves. Guest judge: Fred Burroughs!

    3. The Hellcats endurance event: contestants must cube it with Hiney, drink a six-pack of cheap beer, and then survive being pulled in opposite directions by two three-wheeler hogs, for the count of fifteen (not 15 seconds, but the count of fifteen). Minimal use of protective clothing and gear.

    I think they need a MST narrator for all the events:

    “There was no triathlon winner. The competitors were found, alive and well, 400 meters away.”

    “Flag on the football play…how’d it get there?”

    “Daughter has changed from school clothes to something more festive. Equestrian dressage will make her feel and consequently look more charming. Even the horse takes on a special air.”

    “Johnny stops to watch some rhythmic gymnastics. Gee whiz, I bet they don’t have anything like this in artistic gymnastics, and on bicycles, too!”
