My question to pose to the faithful: Which shorts, despite being excellent MST3K material, are actually informative or educational? I’ve got two choices. First, “Chicken of Tomorrow”–I didn’t know eggs were so complicated. And second, “Appreciating Your Parents”–it’s got a good message and a likable protagonist. (Actually decent short runner-up nominee: “Hired! Part 2.” A good lesson about developing employees that could still be made today without the elves flying around.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I remember in the ACEG, Paul (I think) remarked on “Keeping Clean and Neat” (I think; can you tell I’ve mislaid my ACEG?) that he liked the advice about clipping your toenails after a shower, when they’re soft and easy to clip, something that had never occurred to him. <\/p>\n
As for me, I gotta go with “Out of this World.” I never knew there was so much to being a bread delivery man!<\/p>\n
What short(s) would you pick?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
