Dexter Holland sounds like the real name of a Spider-Man villain. I remember my dad being very upset if i didn't put the keyboard cover back on after using the computer.

Disco Pope posted:Beavis and Butthead is hard to recommend anyone to hunt down, because the best parts were the music videos which a) exposed me to bands my little kid self would never have seen on TV otherwise (Dinosaur Jr, Pavement) and b) was absolutely the funniest stuff. With that stripped out, it's just these oddly sedate but nihilistic vignettes, which I guess do invoke aimless summers when you're a young teen. Beavis and Butthead is totally about life as a misfit 13-15 year old in the early 90's (which is coincidentally the approximate age I was when it was on). The computer and internet wasn't in everyone's home yet, so you had to go make your own fun. I will admit it was slightly more absurd, but that's what makes it funny. Sure none of us played Frog Baseball, but most of us were forced to help parents around the house, so we know how much it sucked, and it sure would have been a lot more fun to paint "Megadeth" on the side of Anderson's house and steal his chainsaw

Busket Posket posted:Everyone has their favorite Star Trek* Captain, but do you prefer Joel, Mike, or Jonah? No strong opinion either way. Joel and Mike have their good points. Mike is probably quicker with the riffs but he had the luxury of dealing with slightly higher quality movies than Joel. I've never seen any Jonah episodes.

I like Nelson because my first MST3K was the movie. Joel is way smarter, and Mike's politics are awful but his episodes were pretty good too. And both MST and Rifftrax are scripted so his dumb thoughts don't contaminate the performance, usually.

The Joel episodes have too many esoteric references and name drops and the really early ones can be downright boring because of how little they actually riff. They also chose a lot of 50's B movies which just aren't that fun to riff because they suck for understandable reasons. The Mike episodes have overall the best balance and they started picking movies that absolutely should not have sucked as much as they did, which makes them more interesting to watch even without the riffing just to see how bad they are. The Jonah episodes, well, the first one is dire and the first season is a bit rocky, but the second season is a big improvement. They try too hard to cram in as many jokes as possible, so it comes off as forced compared to how natural Mike and Joel sound, but I actually think they're the funniest overall because more jokes per minute = more jokes that land overall. If you need convincing that the Jonah episodes are worth watching, start with "Mac & Me", it's probably my new all time favorite MST3K episode.

I know this isn't the Post Your Unpopular Opinion thread, but I've only seen one episode of MST3K (Space Mutiny) and if they're all like that then I have no desire to see any more. MST wasn't on TV here, so it's not something I grew up watching, but I've seen people talking about it online for 20+ years like it was the greatest show ever. So I finally sat down and watched it about two years ago and it was painfully mediocre. I was expecting they'd maybe edit the movie down to 45 minutes or an hour to cut out the dull bits, and the jokes would be better (and more of them). But they just watch the entire thing no matter how boring and the riffing consists of sick burns like "wow this isn't very good" and "haha that guy is dressed like santa". Yeah humour is subjective and everything, but I think it's something you had to have watched when you were 12 years old, not 39. Coming to it fresh in 2019 it just didn't hit at all and I think there are probably random youtubers doing it better.

Jersey girls really liked Beavis and Butthead.

You channel hop across Comedy Central or SciFi and there's a movie that looks like Godzilla but it's a turtle and some guys are just throwing jokes at it.

That's pretty much it, it's kind of hard to go into fresh. At the very least you probably already need a soft spot for it to overlook the near constant regressive jokes.

It has a bit of that gross "robots and SCIENCE! and "snarky" "humour"" nerd stink on it that I'm not fond of, but I can also see how this would appeal to a nerdy kid in the mid-90s when TV and pop-media wasn't completely ruled by those people and it felt like "hey, I'd make this with my friends!"

Absolutely. It's sometimes hard to remember what TV was like before streaming, you were at the behest of whatever the TV had to offer, and you were on it's schedule. MST3K was great for that, because you didn't have to see it from the beginning, you could miss the first 10 minutes, or the first hour and not need to catch up. Unfortunately, for me, it just doesn't hold up now that I'm 40 and have Manos on Blu-Ray, I'd rather watch that than the episode that introduced us all to it. Sadly, my TV is broken, so I can't even watch TV again until the repair kit arrives on Friday  EDIT: Actually the episode of Beavis and Butthead "Killing Time" is the perfect encapsulation of how MST3K was appealing back then.

I mean, you're 100% right. MST3k was made for a fundamentally different paradigm than the one we have, and while it's tempting to be  and say "well you know those youtubers were almost certainly inspired by MST3k or its various immediate derivatives" that doesn't change the fact that the original episodes are in-fact pretty stolid to the modern eye. But if you did grow up with it in some form, it has a real warm blanket appeal, even the Netflix stuff.

The themesong of the show tells you not to worry about the science stuff because it's just a show and you should just relax It really lampoons with the sci-fi pastiche more than glorifies it. More than anything it's a pop culture show from the 90s for people who grew up in the 70s-80s
