Weekend Discussion Thread: Worst Comic Relief in a MSTed Movie

Alert reader Doug asks:

I was watching “Women of the Prehistoric Planet” today and the comedic horribleness of the “Hi-Keeba” guy got me to wondering which comic relief character(s) from MST3K movies were the worst of all. I’m sure there’s plenty more to choose from.

I’m going to go with our favorite little monkey boy, Sid Melton, in “Lost Continent” and “Radar Secret Service.”

Who do you think is the worst?

Elvira To Screen Some Familiar Titles

You may have heard that “Elvira’s Movie Macabre” is back on TV (in syndication, here’s a list of the stations that are showing it).

How is this on-topic (besides the fact that most MSTies are generally into this kinda show)? Well, to begin with, the teaser promo mentions MST3K by name, sort of.
But also, alert reader “GornCaptain” has pointed us to this story, which reports that “there will be 26 episodes in all showcasing movies like ‘The Killer Shrews,’ ‘Attack of the Giant Leeches’ and ‘Manos, the Hands of Fate’.”
Three for three.
I haven’t dug around too much yet but if anybody knows of a complete list of the movies she’ll be doing somewhere on the Web, please let us know.

Thanks to Ben Hall in the comments for this list:

Night of the Living Dead, The Terror, The Brain That Wouldn’t Die, Giant Gila Monster, Scared to Death, Werewolf of Washington, Eegah!, Untamed Women, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Satanic Rights of Dracula, I Eat Your Skin, Don’t Look in the Basement, Teenagers From Outer Space, Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter, Lady Frankenstein, Manster, Wild Women of Wongo, A Bucket of Blood, Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric, Tormented, The Wasp Woman, Beast From the Haunted Cave, The Killer Shrews, Monsters From a Prehistoric Planet, Attack of the Giant Leeches and Manos, The Hands of Fate.

Okay, that makes a total of eight (plus one Film Crew and one Cinematic Titanic title) out of 26. Not quite so tragic.

New Short from RiffTrax…

…which of course gave the world the deathless catchphrase: “Frank what?!”

Weekend Discussion Thread: Riffback!

Our buddy Bill writes:

“Riffback,” or moments when you made a joke just before the guys did.

Mine was during Godzilla vs. Megalon, when the two guys driving the truck make a joke about getting paid 100,000 yen. I said to my buddy, “Oooh, four bucks,” followed almost immediately by Joel saying “Yeah, great, what is that, four bucks?”

Funny he should send this, because I had one last weekend while watching K13- SST-Death Flight. The simulation guys are calling out technical jargon like “B-7!” I said “You sank my battleship!” just before Servo did.

Did this ever happen to you? Tell us about it.
