I remember one day hearing my father downstairs laughing his ass off. Went down to see what was so funny to find he had just discovered Mystery Science Theater 3000, and was losing it watching The Giant Gila Monster. I sat down to watch. I didn't really get it then, but I've been a fan ever since.
Mitchell is a go to for me.
Joel's snowy farewell, Mike narrowly missing death, and it got the cast/crew physically threatened by Joe Don Baker.
FYI for anyone just reminded of the show: [email protected]
The Final Sacrifice is one of my all-time favorites!! It is the perfect mix of a bad movie that is just the right kind of entertaining and hilarious jokes at the awkward kid, hopeless drunk, and other ridiculous side characters. I think I could watch it literally every day.
This is one of the harder episodes to find. Tjardus Greidanus lives up to the name he's given durning the opening credits and doesn't allow Shoutcast to have a license for the movie and will frequently go copyright strike anyone that puts the episode up online.
What?!?! Just embrace it, dude!
I think the movie is going reeeaaaally well
Rowsdower!
The Puma Man! With the power to rear project buildings from his arse!
When you want the flavor of bacon
in a dip
Oh who am I kidding, I can't build a cat!
PEWMAMAN!
Each man is a god each man is free....Which is why we worship aliens whose only power is to give one man a problematic outfit and a bad accent.
Space Mutiny and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank are tied for me. They both still absolutely slay me everytime I put them on. Seasonally appropriate too!
"Sabotaged?! But what of the little children and their toys? "
"Finally, Christmas comes to Santa!"
"So he only dabbles in dopples?"
I didn't want to bungle or bobble the Fingal dopple.
Mitchell, Manos, and Pod People are probably a three-way tie for me. Some of my underrated favorites are Girls Town, The Incredible Melting Man, The Giant Spider Invasion, Teen-Age Crime Wave, and Kitten With a Whip.
I think Giant Spider Invasion is the first one I ever saw, randomly showing on SciFi channel early one morning. I was dying from laughter, just laying on the floor gasping for breath from laughing so hard. Been a fan ever since!
MANOS THE HANDS OF FATE
Oh absolutely this one
I really love pod people. I introduced mst3k to my friends I made in college my freshman year with this and they didn’t think I was a huge weirdo! Instead they all just fell in love with trumpy.
Yep, me too. It's an awful movie in so many confusing ways but I love it so much. Also the guys are on fire throughout.
Came here for Pod People! Agree
“Manos! The hands of fate.“ I’ve corrupted my wife to the point where either of us will just blurt it out now when we talk about hands
I think The Final Sacrifice might take it for me. Rowsdower ftw.
"Santa Clause Conquers the Martians"
it is almost Septober
Awesome! Septoberfest!
Time of the Apes
"I don't care!"
Johnny doesn't care. Should you?
Do yourself a favor and check out the Rifftrax streaming app. Tons of great content. Easily worth the $6 a month.
That's an asklemmy question for 2024!
Overall favorite is probably The Movie if that counts (not an episode), Werewolf if it doesn't.
I use the movie to introduce people to the show. It sets up the whole universe without tons of in-jokes that newbies won't understand. And "This Island Earth" is a weird combo of being a decent enough movie while still being infinitely mockable.
Me and my mum found the movie on late one night and I don’t think we’d ever laughed as hard from something for as long. Our sides were in agony.
Final Justice. God they did Joe Don Baker dirty hahaha
Hobgoblins, and it's not even close
Bite your tongue, Manos the Hands of Fate would like a word. An actor literally died from that movie it was so bad.
Mitchell....
Sidehackers
The Girl in Lovers Lane... with Jack Elam not Jack LaLanne.
I always had a fondness for the Gumby: Robot Rumpus short.
Teenagers From Outer Space is a good start. It was hilarious to me when the old man was muttering and singing "it's the New Zoo Revue" and he looked like the man from the show. I had actually seen the show (don't blame me, we didn't have cable and after you watched cartoons, it came on) It was just so obscure :D
There are some really great ones but Time Chasers does it for me.
Another Castleton shill in the comments /s

Prince of Space
Squirm, I think it's one of the funniest ones, AND it has the short video about coily, the spring sprite. NOOOOOO SPRINGS! BWEEP-BWOOO!
I'm not sure if you count RiffTrax (it's all the same guys), but their commentary for The Last Airbender (2010) and Twilight leave me in tears every time.
i can't remember the name of the movie, but there were 2 aliens who looked like humans and they were causing some sort of trouble.. they had the ability to shapeshfit into other humans
i remember there's a scene where a protagonist steps into an elevator and there's some young man listening to his walkman. after some time, the young dude starts making these awkward noises because he's jamming out on his headphones to the music.. the protagonist is totally paranoid as he's not sure if young dude's really a human being or an alien, so the elevator finally reaches their floor and they try to escape only to get grabbed by the young man and he reveals himself to be the alien..
so the camera pans to the aliens face looking all menacing and one of the MST3K crew says "you didn't think i could get jiggy with it!?" 🤣
it's been years so if anyone knows the ep i'm talking about, i'd be extremely grateful so i can watch it again.
