Weekend Discussion Thread: Which Characters Would You Invite for Thanksgiving?

Well, Turkey Day, the MSTie High Holy Day, is almost upon us, and alert regular “Fart Bargo” wants to know: Which character or characters from a MSTed movie would you want to invite to your house for Thanksgiving, and why?

Me, I think I’d invite Genius from “VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS.” He could give our turkey some of his formula and we could serve the whole neighborhood!

Who would you invite?

    Mitchell and The Creeping Terror would eat everything in sight, even the other guests (all nice and buttery).

    You’d have to invite Torgo ’cause he’d bring the complimentary Crazy Bread.

    I would invite the girl in the bathtub from The Girl in Lovers Lane, all three of the Hercules, Touch Connors, Peaches from Racket Girls and Beverly Garland. Food to be catered by Love’s Pit Barbecue and drinks provided by the liquor store owner from High School Big-Shot. After dinner we will play a spitited game of Pictionary.

    Hello again. Very funny stuff so far, thank you to everyone.

    I thought of a couple other possibilities:

    1. Natalie from “Werewolf”- after dinner we would all put on form fitting t-shirts and let her hustle us at pool. And because she is such an educated and intelligent person, the conversation would be “absolutely fascinating”.

    2. Nick and his time transport from “Time Chasers”- that way, if the day turned out extra good, we could time travel back a little and do it all over.

    Many thoughtful, and hilarious, guest lists! I just want to add on to Batwoman and batgirls, Tiger, Dr Neon and Heathcliff (tied up in the yard). TV Frank and his reanimation machine for the turky so it will walk on to your plates, Rowsdower who will bring the Mickey’s big mouths, Winky and Mr B for musical entertainment (They sneak out for about an hour and return giggling??), Droppo and Torgo for serving, Bobby(Rocky Jones), Micky (Prince of Space), Mikey(Teenage Strangler) at the kids table, Banjo and Mooney for afterdinner backyard wrestling.

    Lee Van Cleef from IT CONQUERED THE WORLD. He enjoys a good meal (just watch the opening scene from Good, Bad and the Ugly.

    Just don’t bring that evil alien carrot, and leave the rubber bats behind.

    My initial choice was Ro-Man, but I think he’d make a mess trying to eat thru that diving helmet. Plus we’d all end up with hair in our soup.

    As always, I’m impressed with the good ideas put forth by Misties! I started thinking about this question to distract myself during a 2 hour dentist appt yesterday. I never realized, but there really aren’t too many likeable characters in these movies. There are a couple I might want to spend some time with and some that could be entertaining. I’d invite the very nice Carrie from Lover’s Lane, and I might even get her a yellow dress to wear! I’d invite the zombie’s mom from Zombie Nightmare – she doesn’t have any family left, what with her husband being dead and all, and her son turning into a zombie. Michelle from Girl in Gold Boots could try to retain her title in the “Worse-Than-Elaine-Bennis Dancer” contest, plus she can play the harmonica with her ass! Gloria from Sinister Urge, just to see what kind of weird ass get up she’d wear for Thansgiving… And there’s the added entertainment value of listening to that voice. We might have to throw her out before dessert though if she starts trying to find buyers for her porn collection.

    Well, it makes salt, which would help with the turkey, and…you don’t have to ask anyone to pass it.

    Definitely, Genius from Village of the Giants. That way the entire neighborhood can celebrate, although I would be concerned about the chemicals in the turkey.

    But here’s the best way to celebrate the holidays:

    Invite William Shatner and George W. Bush to Thanksgiving dinner. Because it’s always nice to have ham and turkey.

    and of course, keep circulating the tapes, even though William Shatner is one star who should have been riffed at least on MST3K and never was. Sigh…)

  26. The Evil Monkey toy from Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders. He could get rid of the in-laws. I would invite the psychic but I know she’d refuse to come in the house because all hell would break loose. Which would actually be kind of fun.

    Well, for Heaven’s sake don’t invite Hunchback Fairy and Hugo to the same party. It’d be a disaster. You’d bring out the ham, she’d turn it into a flying sleigh, and he’d take after it, waving his little butcher knife…

    I’d like the Fire Maidens from Outer Space to come by and help cook up some roast mime. Kendra from Phase 4 would be a welcome guest as long as she didn’t bring the ants.

    I’d have to go with Jack Perkins. And I’d have him end every comment with: “It’s…it’s like being in a…time machine.” For instance, “These yams are delicious and take me back to a time when more families ate yams. A time when it was safe to play outside after dark and everyone knew everyone else. These yams are like…like being in a time machine.” Jack would make the evening come to life!

    If the store’s out of turkey, just invite The Phantom of Krankor and roast him.

    Merlin, ’cause he’d actually say “You’re welcome” when he passes the food, but you’d have to keep him away from the kiddie table (“Little boy, would you like to see one of my favorite tricks?” NOOOOO!!!!!).

    Eat, then SLEEEEEEEEP!!!

    Don’t forget to invite Tom Servo for a sing-along after

    here goes:
    big stupid would take care of the drunk guests as well as start a pool hall fight if things started to drag.
    trumpy if the turkey goes bad we can cook him or his cousins.
    torgo could serve food.
    krankor could tell us all about how he will certainly conquer the whole dinner.

    I’d also invite Adrienne Barbeau, just to find out who the heck that is. She has a great uppercut, so I’m sure she would be helpful when those family arguments come up. Plus, she’s in town at the Borders bookstore in Pasadena on Dec. 1st.

    First choice would of course be Mike, Joel and the bots. Yes, id want Mike and Joel. They are both equally amazing.
    Krankor would def. be a good choice, but id go with Trumpy first. I was thinking if Trumpy wasn’t available id try and book Coily, the Spring Sprite…but hes SOOOO annoying and Id be too anxious id say something negative about springs and my car door wouldnt shut anymore. It would just ruin the mood. So my 2nd choice would have to be “the Master…”

    I’d like to invite the entire cast and crew of MST3K to a huge catered feast to let them know how grateful I am for the show they made. Cast and crew from the movies could be invited, even Joe Don Baker if he could refrain from starting fights or getting sick drunk; in which case Miles O’ Keefe, and Sho Kosugi (the only real ninja involved with the Master Ninja “movies”) could show him outside and maybe break him in half for not being able to take a joke. When I first typed in “joke” just now it came out “joike”. Coincidence? Happy Turky Day all!!
