Poopie:<\/strong> (1994) The first of two blooper reels, this one featuring outtakes from host segments shot in seasons two through six.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The first time MSTies saw this reel (or a version of it) was at the 1994 convention. There were several showings, and it also played continuously on one of the hotel TV channels. My first copy was created by another MSTie, who set up a camcorder in front of a hotel TV to get a copy to take home.
\n\u2022 It was officially released on VHS around Thanksgiving, 1995, and was originally only avalible through the MST3K Info Club for $15.
\n\u2022 Rhino re-released Poopie! as a VHS tape, and later included it as an extra on the Manos: The Hands of Fate DVD, released in November of \u00a0’01.
\n\u2022 In 2004 it was included on the “Tom Servo’s All Time Favorite Host Segments! Vol. 1” DVD offered by Best Brains.
\n\u2022 What a HUGE amount of fun this was and still is. And it’s fun because they<\/em> seem to having fun. It’s incredibly charming when a scene is blown, but the performers stay in character and the puppeteers continue to move the puppets’ lips as they comment on the foulup.
\n\u2022 Fave moment: When the Deep 13 wall falls on Trace and Frank. Their reaction is priceless.<\/p>\n

Here is a complete list of every outtake (many thanks to Sarah “Bookworm” Heiner and Jamie Plummer, who kept this online for many years), with a few interspersed comments.<\/p>\n

Opening credits–planet upside down, Joel goofing around
\nOpening credits–Frank whacks SOL

\n209- The Hellcats (inven.)–Frank blows line repeatedly<\/p>\n

\u2022 When you watch the completed episode, you might wonder why they cut away from this scene so quickly. When you see the full version here, you can see that they JUST barely got the line in before losing it yet again.<\/p>\n

\n409- The Indestructable Man (seg. 5)–Frank and Mike crack up–twice

\u2022 Mike says “shit.” Despite bleeping some of the cursing, they allowed a few of them through. I’ll note them.<\/p>\n

201- Rocketship X-M (inven.)–Jim in shot<\/p>\n

\u2022 Jim clearly thought Joel was going to fall over in the BCG19 and was moving in to try to catch him, not caring if he was in the shot or not. Joel clearly found that touching and funny.<\/p>\n

Poopie 2:<\/strong> (1997) The second of two blooper reels, this one featuring outtakes from host segments shot in seasons seven and eight (mostly).<\/p>\n

\u2022 This was released by Best Brains on VHS around Thanksgiving, 1997.
\n\u2022 A trimmed, 15-minute version, simply labelled “Outtakes,” is an extra on the episode 514- TEENAGE STRANGLER DVD on Rhino volume 10 (and later Vol. 10.2). As near as I can tell, the full “Poopie 2” reel was never released on DVD.
\n\u2022 When the full VHS tape was first released, the reaction of fans was muted to say the least. Openly negative would be a better description. And I think it’s deserved. Of course, the novelty of seeing the cast members goofing up was gone, but it was more than that. There was a very different tone to the clips. The giddy tone of the first tape was almost entirely absent. There is much less laughing from the crew or between the performers. The cast seems more self-conscious and serious. In short, while there were a few funny moments sprinkled here and there, Poopie 2 was as much of a disappointment as Poopie 1 was a delight. Sometimes you just can’t catch lightning in a bottle a second time.
\n\u2022 Fave line: Mike: “NOOOO!”<\/p>\n

A listing of the complete “Poopie 2” tape is here<\/a> but since it is now very hard to find, I put together a listing for the edited version on Vol 10, which is the version most fans have access to.<\/p>\n

Season 8 opening–signpost falls down
\nSeason 8 opening–Mary Jo flubs ‘la la la’
\nSeason 8 opening–Crow tangles with his name
\nSeason 8 opening–Earth balloon goes flying
\nSeason 8 opening–Tom falls down
\n804- The Deadly Mantis (seg 5)–Mary Jo cracks up
\n815- Agent for H.A.R.M. (seg. 4)–Kevin flubs line
\n705- Escape 2000 (seg. 1)–door falls off
\n703- Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell (seg. 2)–Tom’s head falls off
\nInfomercial– Trace flubs line
\n806- The Undead (seg. 1)–Bill cracks up
\n819- Invasion of the Neptune Men (seg. 1)–Kevin flubs line twice, Jeff not ready 3rd time
\n810- The Giant Spider Invasion (seg. 1)–Tom’s be-canoed head falls off 2 times
\n812- Incredibly Strange Creatures… (seg. 1)–Crow has a “booger”
\n812- Incredibly Strange Creatures… (seg. 1)–Bill flubs line
\n806- The Undead (seg. 1)–Mike flubs line
\n817- Horror of Party Beach (seg. 4)–Mike forgets entrance
\n703- Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell (seg. 1)–Trace flubs line
\n804- The Deadly Mantis (seg. 1)–panel on bomb falls off
\n822- Overdrawn at the Memory Bank (seg. 1)–Tom’s hand detaches from bubble.<\/p>\n

\u2022 I’m not sure what’s going on here, but it feels to me like something is. Were they pretending the clip was staged or something? There’s a lot of layers to this one.<\/p>\n

807- Terror from the Year 5000! (seg. 1)–Crow’s hand falls off
\n820- Space Mutiny (seg. 1)–Bill’s chains fall off
\n810- The Giant Spider Invasion (seg. 3)–Mary Jo cracks up

\n807- Terror from the Year 5000! (seg. 4)–Bill forgets line
\n701- Night of the Blood Beast (seg. 1)–Crow loses trombone
\n701- Night of the Blood Beast (seg. 1)–Trace’s lip bleeds<\/p>\n

\u2022 Um, is that a fake blood pack or something? Is it real? If it’s real, some people may find this sort of thing funny, but I don’t. I never heard that it’s not real. Does anybody know? If it’s real, it’s inclusion is appalling.<\/p>\n

705- Escape 2000 (seg. 4)–Trace flubs line
\n701- Night of the Blood Beast (seg. 4)–Trace forgets line
\nInfomercial–Mike flubs line<\/p>\n

\u2022 A rare genuinely funny moment, as Mike blurts out a horrified “NOO!” to Trace’s line and everybody loses it.<\/p>\n

822- Overdrawn at the Memory Bank (seg. 3)–Mary Jo flubs song
\n703- Deathstalker & Warriors from Hell (seg. 1)–Mary Jo cracks up
\n812- Incredibly Strange Creatures… (seg. 1)–Mary Jo cracks up
