It couldn't be riffed on during it, but seriously, he ran across america to go tell him? Its like ET getting in the spaceship, then flying back when he's in school to say "elliot, your dad is on mars, it needs some kind of intervention of an ugly candy shilling alien. Go steal a rocket, I'll meet you there in a month, its kickin off."

LividLiquid posted:Even the people who work on the loving show meticulously script their material beforehand, because off-the-cuff riffing is like, twenty irritating duds to every one decent chuckle. My local theater has a screening every week dedicated to this, where these sorts of movies are played (several that have been riffed in the past have shown up, and I saw The Day Time Ends there earlier in the year) and it is often pretty bad, but almost worth it for the one or two good jokes that come from it. It also only costs $2 ($1 for supporting members), so, that sort of changes the equation.

When I was younger I used to go to the weekly midnight Rocky Horror Picture Show screenings. And even there, at a show known for random assholes yelling and throwing stuff at the screen, the jokes are largely rehearsed. Every now and then someone would come up with a killer new joke and it would get added to the canon, but for the most part the cast and the regulars stuck with the lines they knew were funny.

I once came up with a new RHPS joke and I was super proud of it, though in hindsight it wasn't all that funny (When Frank walks out of the freezer covered in blood having murdered Eddie, "Frankie wins. Fatality!" Hey it was 1994 alright)

We were using "His name was Robert Paulson" for that scene for years after Fight Club was popular.

tankadillo posted:People who have seen Mac and Me in its original form: did they make significant cuts for the MST3K version, or was the editing really that choppy? It felt like the whole thing just bounced from one scene to the next with no attempt at transitions or continuity. I got that feeling too. During the escape at the mall, a girl shows up driving the van, whom I guess is supposed to be the older brothers girlfriend? And I swore we'd never seen her before in the movie.

RHPS is a land of contrasts. Some places I've lived, they've been really cool chill people who all hosed each other, other places I've lived, they were basically just the same people as the local goth scene with all the terrible drama and crazy people that implies

We were watching Kingdom of the Spiders and I said when Shatner is taking a car "William Shatner was a car thief". My friends thought it was funny because we all loved Wesley WIllis.

I was really expecting to not like the Atlantic Rim episode, but of this season it's the episode that stands out the most to me. The love triangle subplot is absolutely bonkers, but it's really not that incompetently done. There are just a lot of bizarre decisions. And then it just ends with no resolution at all.

Took me a while to finish Killer Fish, but I liked it. Something about 70's movies just go over perfectly. Struggling with Ator. It has to live up to Cave Dwellers, and while the riffs are good, there is always Cave Dwellers in the back of my head. Also, drat, the creep factor is high. Bad opinion: I would be okay with Crow and Servo escaping, then Growler and Gypsy taking over their duties. Or Gypsy and Waiverly.

In a KTMA episode (Hangar 18), Crow briefly WAS a woman (although the voice actor didn't change). While doing maintenance on his RAM chips, Joel "recovered" Crow's first memory, which was Joel telling him that CROW = Cybernetic Remotely Operated Woman. This revelation broke Crow's brain (he started worrying about the dishes and needing to watch Thirtysomething) until Joel revealed it was just a joke. In fact, Joel had actually created Crow for the purpose of pulling that prank. To which Crow responded: "So my life has been one big setup for a punchline? Boy, I feel like Morey Amsterdam."

Speaking of Crow, or Crows, on Bill Corbett's Funhouse podcast he interviews Trace and it's fascinating to hear him talk about our cow-tow puppet show. I'd forgotten Tom Servo used to be 'Beeper' and just beeped.

Amusingly though, J. Elvis voices Crow in the first KTMA ep because apparently Trace couldn’t be there for the filming.

What's awesome and weird about Rocky is that you can go to a midnighter in Seattle one week and a midnighter in New York the next week and a lot of the jokes are the same. It's like "hoverboards were real, but parents sued so they wouldn't be released." We all heard it and it spread, and it happened pre-internet, which is so loving bizarre.

I think Joel's by himself in one episode, which shows why multiple riffers is the norm.

Yeah, from what I've seen the KTMA episodes are very prototypical, also since all the riffs were ad-libbed back then it would sometimes result in long stretches of silence during parts of the movie (something that would continue on into the early half of the first season). Honestly I wouldn't be too sad if those episodes never saw the light of day again. On another topic, I haven't gotten around to watching it yet but how was Season 12 in comparison to the first Netflix attempt?

Lot of kinks being worked out. It's also funny that while Trace has a lot of fond memories of the show he also absolutely does not remember specific sketches (and why should he, because there's a ton of them) like for example why there came to be a scene of he and Frank dressed as their favorite 70's relief pitchers. Clearly Trace knows at some point he did dress as Rollie Fingers, but other than that it's a mystery to him. Sadly this means he also doesn't remember Frank's amazing Tug McGraw impression.
