I’ve been meaning to get around to this one. The pun: supposedly the lowest form of humor, but I love ’em and lots of other folks do too, I think.

Sure, they may be a low form of comedy, but many of them were clever on the show. Here’s my favorite word pun joke they did on MST3K was from 518- The Atomic Brain, when towards the end of the movie, the scientist looks through a circular-shaped window, and Crow remarks, “In a cameo appearance.”

Patricia also wrote to suggest a thread like this, citing…

Catalina Caper’s “Uh…tanks!” and “He’s in-de-pendant” from Time of the Apes

I’ve noticed a couple in the last few eps I’ve watched for the episode guide updates. In “Kitten with a Whip,” the camera is panning around David’s living room and Tom says he thinks he sees a salad bar. The camera pans over some lattice work and Mike says “…and there’s the LATTICE for the salad bar.”

And in last week’s episode, “Racket Girls,” there’s “Peaches is getting clingy!”

What are your favorites?

Regular Kenneth Morgan suggests:

SMUGGEST CHARACTER: Which characters in MSTed movies seem be the biggest insufferable know-it-alls, understand exactly how everyone must do everything, never let the other characters or the audience forget it, and absolutely revel in that perception?

I’m gonna go with Craig “that smug bastard” Stevens in “The Deadly Mantis.” He constantly knows best and lords it over everyone (especially Alix Talton) when he’s actually right. What a jerk.

Your pick?
