Long Weekend Discussion Thread: Favorite Inventions

I was going to wait until tomorrow with this, but what the heck, it’s a holiday weekend, so let’s get started.

Here are my top 10, mostly based on how funny the bit was. You are welcome to use whatever criterion you like.

• 201- ROCKETSHIP X-M: the BGC-19, if only for the sheer work that went into building it.
• 307- DADDY-O: Alien teething nook. Why doesn’t somebody make them? This picture went around on the net recently, but this is not a pacifier, it’s just a plushy somebody put on the kid’s face. I bet the real thing would sell.
• 309- THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN: A plant that reviews music, aka “Robert Plant,” as he was later known. Kevin channels every pompous NPR announcer he’s ever heard.
• 317- VIKING WOMEN VS. THE SEA SERPENT: Meat re-animator. One weird mamajama.
• 318- STAR FORCE-FUGITIVE ALIEN II: the big head. Big as all outdoors.
• 320- THE UNEARTHLY: Hard pills to swallow. Probably my all-time favorite, because Dr. F seems to enjoy it so much.
• 402- THE GIANT GILA MONSTER: Renaissance festival punching bags. Bite me, Frodo.
• 505- MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD: Chin-der wear. At last those obscene chin butts can be covered.
• 518- THE ATOMIC BRAIN: The Mads, Crow and Tom Servo. A memorable moment of self-parody.
• 519- OUTLAW: Fabio kit. Probably the funniest invention of the short Mike invention era.

Bill on a Podcast

Bill Corbett is the guest on Len Peralta’s “Jawbone Radio.”

Len interviewed Mike Nelson a few years ago.

He says he’s angling for a Kevin Murphy interview, too. We’ll announce that if/when it happens.
