Posted by Sampo, on November 15th, 2008 As our “Favorite Moments,” feature winds down, let’s hear your favorite moments from Paul Chaplin:
• Holoclown in episodes 405- BEING FROM ANOTHER PLANET and 406- ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES — classic MST3k and just about as dark as it comes, and Paul handles the scene beautifully.
• Pitch — He may have gotten chosen for the part because he was the skinniest guy on the staff, but he still carries the part of like he knows the devil personally.
• Sandy the oily guy in 702- THE BRUTE MAN — Poom!
* Observer in several season eight episodes — Paul channels ever snooty professor he ever knew with his interpretation of the Observer concept.
• Ortega in several episodes — A throwaway character in a throwaway movie becomes the new Torgo.
Any other good ones?

Frank Conniff and J. Elvis Weinstein are slated to be among the performers at a benefit comedy concert, “Laughing at Cancer,” Thursday, Nov. 20, at 8 p.m. at the Aura Night Club, 12215 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, Calif. Other performers will include Michael Rayner and Cartoon Dump’s Erica Doering. Tickets are $10 at the door, with door prizes and auction items available throughout the evening. All funds raised at the event will be distributed evenly between Susan G. Komen National Foundation, the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition and Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital.
The event has been organized by John Scott Lewinski (who has written several nice pieces about MST3K for “Wired”), to give thanks to the various organizations that helped his mother during her cancer threat (she is now in remission following a double mastectomy). If you’re in the area, it sounds like a great night and a great cause.
