) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
Crow as a bear in “Jack Frost”.
Tom Servo in his Mountie garb.
Tom wearing ‘lifts’
Tom Servo as the Madrigal Quartet ( or whatever that was )
I like Crow dressed up as Dr. Clayton Forrester (think it was in The Atomic Brain).
My pick has to be Servo leading his choir in The Starfighters. The singing Servo duplicates were also dressed sharply for being just prop bodies.
I vote for Valaria from Robot Holocaust since she wore, spandex, netting and feathers at various times. Sorry Crow & Servo.
If it counts I’d like to vote for Crow whenever he is dressed well. His ‘slicked back’ net is cute every time I see it.
Crow as a Bellerian in Space Mutiny. He really wore the gauzy robe well…and I still maintain he looks great as a blonde.
Either Tom afflicted with Short Man Syndrome & decked out in leather and lifts, Tom as the Ren-Faire quartet, or Tom as a super-frilly Southern Belle. Tom in a ridiculous costume can just warm my heart.
For Tom it would be the Sir Charles Nevel Servo Just After The Plague Singers (I think that’s the name), especially the female Servo LMAO.
For Crow his Great Vorellie act at the end of Devil Doll had me rolling, “Not only can you not have Ham, you can’t have other Luncheon Meats!” :rotfl:
TURKEY VOLUME GUESSING MAN!!!
As bearded councilmen in The Magic Voyage of He’s Not Sinbad.
I always liked Crow’s Willy the Waffle costume and Servo’s batman costume. XD
Crow and Tom as whatever-the-hell-they-were from the restaurant sketch in ‘Gamera Vs Barugon’. Really, what the hell were they supposed to be? ?:-)
Zombie Nightmare – Servo dressed as Batman!
Tom’s Flemish glass blower outfit and it was on sale.
I love Tom’s costume as the “adowable” girl from “Jack Frost”, but it’s more because of Mike and Crow’s input then the costume itself.
Sorry, I meant to say “than”. I’m sure all my old teachers are having about two hemorrhages apiece. (Notice I can spell “hemorrhages”.)
TURKEY VOLUME GUESSING MAN!!!!
Very good topic. I’ve always been a fan of their hair pieces that allow them to fantasize about being other characters. For example, the hockey hair from “The Final Sacrifice” is just enough to make me giggle each time I see it.
Any time they’re dressed in tuxedos.
As is my wont, I posted before checking out the other posts. I noticed that my earlier post was word for identical to that Smoothie of Great Power (#12). I hope all of you don’t decide to put me on trial for cheating. Because as we all know, cheating is bad… Richard Basehart is good…
Does Christmas Tom count? When his head was a Santa snowshaker? :)
Crow as the llama and Tom as the farmer, from “The Amazing Transparent Man”. That was the best host segment ever.
Although we only see Crow from the thigh down in The Girl in the Gold boots dance scene is my favorite costume. It just cracks me up to see crow in his/her little gold boots shaking his/her money maker! Crow totally channels his fembot side to hilarity. Shake it baby!
My kids vote for Crow in his Droppy the Water Droplet costume. Cute and very informative.
I always crack up when I see them dressed in their duct tape fashions from Time of the Apes. The poses are hilarious!
I’ll pick one for each! Tom dressed as a fop for Pearl’s ball, Crow as a Balarian in the Space Mutiny experiment and Gypsy’s hippy costume for the Super Freakout invention exchange.
Trucker Servo (I love ‘ya butt) and Crow as Willie the Waffle.
Tom Servo in the Air on a Delta Knight choir costumes.
Gypsy in “Gypsy Rose ME!” ‘Nuff said. :-)
I always like it when they dress up Gypsy. “Are you happy…in your work?”
My pick would be Crow as Jack Elam in “The Girl in Lovers Lane.” The funky eye says it all.
I’ve always been fond of the Navitity scene in Gypsy’s mouth in Santa Claus conquers the Martians
Let me add Crow as a cub scout and Tom as a brownie.
Oh and Gypsy done up as a Brunhilda like opera singer.
The “Dog and Bear” costumes, complete with entrails.
“What’s “too far” when your entrails are hanging out?”
Most definitely Crow as Jerry Garcia. British pub Servo & Crow also deserve a mention.
Dressed as the Dead in “The Dead Talk Back.” “We’re the Dead, get it?” “And then the moon came out and it was like, Jerry willed it.”
Then as the mustachioed bots in “It Lives by Night.” Especially Tom’s over the top mustache.
Well, Not Merrit Stone beat me to it. Barely.
MRxL! Is it wrong that I picked the cheerleading outfit Tom wore in the Giant Spider Invasion?
Crow: “I’m an imp!” & screaming skull. (I like when he has teeth)
Servo: his new trucker body from Riding With Death. “I like my butt!”
I’m with Crow the servo (#8). I like it when they alter the bots, as if they had actual hair or working pupils. I always love seeing crow with his net slicked back or his eyes widened or reddened; Tom with is dome affected in some way, trimmed or full of cotton balls to show an altered state. They’re chunks of plastic, but the crew found inventive ways to show and vary the bots’ expressions.
I like the bots’ outfits from the English pub sketch, especially Crow’s teeth!
Gotta go with Crow as a Bear. He is so cute as that. I really liked high ranking military Servo too, with the whole chorus of Servos from Starfighters
There are so many. I’ll go with Servo’s trucker body from Riding with Death.
Some of my favorites:
Willy The Waffle “NO WAFFLES! (Whistles)”
The United Servo’s Men Chorus
Crow’s little jester outfit in Monster A Go Go
The bots in the Gameraramdung
Tom Servo’s nurse outfit if only for Crow’s reaction to it.
I’m with dropo – Crow as Jack Elam. The first time I saw that sketch, I almost puked, I laughed so hard. I also love Tom’s smoking jacket and british accent during the “Servo on Cinema” segment in “Giant Gila Monster”.
So hard to choose, but off the top of my head, here goes.
Servo: He was so easy to dress-up and Kevin always had the voice to bring out a personality to match. I’m going to go with Tom as a priest. I love his stole.
Crow: His slacks from J. C. Penney’s, especially when his “hair” was slicked back. I would love to have seen the corrective shoes.
Gypsy: A bit more difficult, though I did like her compact, but I’ll go with the Nativity scene in one of the shows best moments.
I’s say any of the several where they are part of a rock band.
Among others, with Mike doing “Sodium.” (Now, that’s a 50s sound). :-D
