If 90% of the pearl, brain guy, and Bobo sketches were lost in a fire I wouldn't mind.

See the Mike's stereo bit from The Creeping Terror, the pee scene from Austin Powers, or the episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast where he follows an ant for most of the episode.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THbKEXBk8X0

Was going to say I thought I remembered from the Amazing Colossal Episode Guide that Frank was the one who wrote that sketch in Creeping Terror, and sure enough from mst3kinfo.com: "In the ACEG they mentioned that segment 3 was written mostly by Frank, who loves sketches where nothing happens for long stretches."

In a similar vein to the Sven and Ole sketch, I always liked their Bergmanesque Death and Taxes promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1w_dp2PK9E

The Ape of Naples posted:Crow's guitar solo. I would rather listen to the Crow version than the real thing any day. At least they get to skip forward in time during his solo. One I thought didn't work as well is the one where they're pouring English beer I think it's in Devil Doll maybe? It went on forever. Pearl, Bobo and Brian Guy are hit and miss but I liked the camping/evil pods story line and the already mentioned PBS sketches. I Love When Loving Lovers Love.

Bicyclops posted:My memory is that he's just one joke, for the entirety of his run, and there's something about the makeup that limits Kevin Murphy's ability to do that one joke justice. I used to laugh a lot at the noise Brain Guy made when he was using his brain powers. I'm interested to see if I still do once I get back to him. Kevin had a bit in one of the online Episode Guide entries for Season 8 that boiled down to "It is Hell being in the gorilla makeup." Edit: Oh, God, the Sven & Ole joke is *beautiful*.

DivisionPost posted:Joel just sent out a new update introducing us to the voice of the new Gypsy, Rebecca Hanson. This might be her first time in the spotlight; she came up through Second City and has been writing, singing, and doing improv in Chicago for ten years, but I can't find any of her work on YouTube, unless she also dabbles in politics. Looking her up quickly, she's done a ton of improvised musical comedy, which seems great. I know Gypsy isn't supposed to be snarky or good at singing, but I don't care if they change her so that she is to allow a talented performer to do some great skits with her. I wonder how the puppet stuff works when she's on the ceiling! I have to give Joel credit. It really seems like he knew how to build some hype around things, and his vision for what needed to change and what needed to stay the same to keep the charm of the old show seems spot on. e: Also, I just watched the Mike speaker scene and sort of found it funny, if only because of the context. They basically just sat through 20 minutes of that song in the terrible blob movie (which is probably so bad, not even riffing can save it), so his smiling, obvious insanity kind of builds up the humor. I dunno. Bicyclops fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Feb 28, 2017 |

I think that given how long it's been since the show ended, this Crow, Servo, Gypsy, and Cambot may not 100 percent be the original ones in universe, but 2.0 models with the memories and basic personalities of the originals, but very different, and as a Gypsy fan, giving her more to do can only be a good thing.

That's kind of how I feel. It's like Doctor Who, they get different personalities while retaining some core memories and traits. And Gypsy gets funnier the less dopey she is.

The original robots have been living with Mike in Wisconsin (?) for 20 years. I'm sure the show will just start on the SOL with no explanation of anything other than how Jonah got there.

TL posted:Nonsense, the Creeping Terror is one of the best episodes. Seriously. I still use some of these jokes regularly, especially "You have a kiiind face." And Crow singing along with the song "Wah wah wah Wah-Wah!" or Servo singing "Yeah here's my torso". I think that's why the Mike listening to the song sketch works for me. That drat song plays over and over again, and they throw so many jokes at it that to just sit and listen to it is it's own parody.

I don't even know why I'm so excited about the new season - it's not like I've seen every episode from the original run. To me, MST3K is like the original Twilight Zone. There's a ton of episodes - a few that I have practically memorized, a majority that I've seen but only kind of remember, and a bunch that I've somehow never seen. And I'm so likely to put on an episode while doing other things, I'm likely to miss parts and therefore keep them fresh. So really, whenever I want I can put on a MST3K that's new to me, so it doesn't make sense that I'm so excited for the new season.......BUT I AM!!

I'm excited mostly because maybe my wife will be able to enjoy it with me. She's German and a few years younger and most of the jokes are dependent on you either being American or old enough to remember 90s pop culture.

Yeah, I think this is the part that excites me the most. MST3k is funny when you only understand half the jokes, so hopefully it's even better when you understand a larger portion of the jokes.

I know what you mean but part of the re-watchability of MST3k (for me at least) is getting jokes that you didn't before. Or a riff that that just sounded funny but then you realize it comes from some deep reference. I don't remember the old MST3k having a lot of current (for the time) references but I might just be forgetting them. There's a certain timelessness to the riffs.

The one host segment I need a post-mortem for is "Joey the Lemur". It's so terrible that I can't take my eyes away from it. I need to know what they were thinking when they wrote it.

There's an entry in the episode guide about it being poorly conceived, in that they placed it in the episode prior to Joey the Lemur's appearance in the film, and also Joey in the film isn't a lemur. Also his name is Joe.
