Spies are given cyanide tablets due to the permeating dullness of their jobs.

Me too, the first part featuring Phantom Creeps converted me to this show, but the main event is just boredom.

Done properly, it is. Spycraft only gets exciting when everything has gone to hell and you need a quick extraction.

Penn Jillette thought AbFab was done 20 years before the most recent episode, which was four years before the theatrical film. In their most recent productions, Joanna Lumley (Patsy) is older than June Whitfield (Gran) was on the first episode. (Actor ages never bothered them much, though, unless Edina had Saffron when she was 10 years old.) Speaking of nostalgia, did anyone else play the Flash-based AbFab game on Comedy Central's website? (Don't buy the scrunchie.) I should pick up some Ivory Soap. Lorenzo Music (Garfield)'s dearly departed voice could sell me just about anything.

Correction: everything and everyone becomes interesting when it’s old.

Agreed. I will complain to no end about the fact that I pay for YT Premium so I don't have to see ads while not screwing content creators out of ad revenue by using adblocks about the fact that content creators will have paid promotions in their videos that I still have to scroll through for things like VPNs, earbuds, audiobooks etc, but I'll spend an hour looking up old commercials on YT for things like Palaner All Fruit and the Flintstones back when they used to do cigarette commercials lol.

Freaking Lorenzo Music talking about soap.... Then a puppy!!!!

It's like the movie Demolition Man, in which all the radio stations played old jingles for stuff like Oscar Mayer...

Well done Ben...you've just taken your first step into a larger world...

I hope you enjoy it. MST3K is a perfect slice of Midwestern American humor, like the Zucker Brothers of The Naked Gun and Airplane! Considering that Shaun of the Dead is possibly my favorite comedy, I like to think that we're not so different across the ocean. We're all just looking for some silliness to distract ourselves from the daily unhappiness of modern life.

And, if you recall from the Megalon vs. Godzilla episode, Dr. F dressed as the goalie, by attaching two lengths of ABS drainage tubing to his arms.

My favorite part of the movie.

@Martha Whiteman This episode first aired in 1990! Who's high now?

I predict that in the future we will be watching MST3K on our phones, and nobody will worry about taking about getting high online.

@@AdamWestish I'm watching it on my phone now.

@@AJadedLizard I predict that in the future we will all use machines that are at LEAST 3X FASTER than fax machines 😆

What is that noise, what does it even mean?

I am impressed you found a way to type that.

@@damian6631 same

@@gregoryfreeman9073 Just a weird noise that Frank liked doing lol

@@akumakorgar I think Greg was referencing Wild Rebels, a later episode where Dr. F asks Frank that exact question.

cause the saying itself had been around for like, ever.

César Chavez had already made it a slogan in the 60s.

Matched up with the “yeeeehoo!” When the woman bailed out of the airplane.

More Brilliant with the recent clusterfuck with the documents being released regarding the assassination now. The only thing the release of the recent documents did was confirm my suspicions the CIA is actually hiding something. Seeing as most of the documents released were ones ALREADY ACCESSIBLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. That and i heard they somehow "Lost" some of the ones the Administration was declassifying.

Mark my words *Space Force Cadets,* that *JOHNNY DARK SPEAK* is going to *SOLVE* the *MYSTERY* of the *KENNEDY ASSASSINATION !!!* Gang, I think I smell a *WEIRD MYSTERY !*

You did not just make that reference you did not just make that REFERENCE!

i thought the bot on the right looked like Beavisth

Not sure foreshadowing is the correct term, that suggests plans and Mike taking over was never planned it was almost a last minute subsitution. I guess since it ended up happening we can call it unintended foreshadowing maybe.

I hated Mike... Er for the host... I was used to Joel...

General Milley will probably say that to the next question about Afghanistan.

Double negative

Ssssssandstorm ….

That sounds like a good idea.

He looks like Lumière, but without arms.

Joel acquired all three talismans needed to break the seal on Servo, the Bot of Bad Movie's Bane.

Huh, so this was made at the time when MST3K existed, in 1989-90? I thought they only riffed older 60-80 movies.

The movie was released in 1958 and then in 1961. MST3K broadcasted this in 1990.

Ah, thanks.

@@Tori-di2cf So, Applemask is wrong - the Berlin Wall didn't exist *yet,* and the Cold War was still in the process of escalating, not falling apart...

@@CheshireFatorum I think there's been a misunderstanding. @Applemask was, I think, referring to the original 1990 broadcast date of the MST3k episode that featured the 1958 movie, "Rocket Attack USA", rather than to the date of release for the movie itself. An easy mistake to make!

+HenryvKeiper When did they start saying "Start seeing motorcycles"? It was in a bunch of episodes but I don't know which one started it.

I don't know offhand when it got started. I know the joke is making reference to a bumper sticker/campaign ad that was meant to raise awareness for drivers on the highway to keep an eye out for motorcycles.

HenryvKeiper So not necessarily related to what's going on in the movie(as far as the first time used, like "watch out for snakes" etc.). More than I knew before :) thanks

Yeah, it's not like "Watch out for snakes," "You and your daughter are doomed," "Shut up, Iris," or even "Ha ha ha ha YOU'RE STUCK HERE!" I think the "start seeing motorcycles" stuff is more popular in the midwest, or areas with a larger motorcycle subculture, hence why it's lost on a lot of fans. The MST3K guys have admitted in interviews that sometimes their jokes are too regional, and they'll look back on an episode and essentially say, "Crap, I don't think anyone outside the midwest got that."

+HenryvKeiper I have to say, I love when they do those northern midwestern accents...I'm from the south, so hearing their exaggerated accents gives me the giggles every time, dontcha know

Hylian Fox Who knew the apocalypse could be...so annoying?

Ya, I was born on the day Ms. Hearst either vanished, or reappeared. I don't remember which.

Anarchist86ed you understand the conceit of the show right?

Anarchist86ed Isn't that the case with every movie they do though? 😊

Hardly. Russo-Finnish quartet is watchable without riffing.

Barry Mahon produced/directed/edited this thing together to exploit Sputnik's launch, and, man, was he shameless about it. This is less a "movie" and more just "footage".

With weed, anything is possible!

Yep. Except that it's Joel in this episode.

It’s Joel, stupid.

I believe it

Remember placing a white dinner plate out on the porch before you went to bed then examining it for fallout the next morning?

Two things about this: one, I love how Mike does the same thing Joel does - points at one robot, says the wrong name, then points at the right robot and says the right name. Two, are you aware of "Project Popcorn"? kzfaq.info/love/-SJD2EhMbmsahMabrrXG_A

KTAVERILL Just today I finished making the cylinder Tom Servo head, for my replica Servo.

Nice! True MiSTis will recognize him!

+David Stevens - Tom's entire head is a gumball machine (beak and all), I know cause I bought the exact same one in a charity shop here (North of England) so they must get about a bit. Check eBay & stuff.

Doctor Craptonicus I know that I bought that one on eBay. Mine was brown.

+Kent Manthie Yeah, thanks for your input, Karl.

***** It's John Cheater, actually.

+Joseph Charles Hell yeah!

What? There’s no “2001” music during the intro.

I just watched Cinematic Titanic’s War of the Insects, so it’s second time today for me.

Trump loved when Russians killed the American agents.

Hi, May 2022 here. It got worse.

@@JaninthePan LOL. How about looking at a movie like this that helped contribute to the decades long quest to destroy Russia's government. We are now here,30 years after having succeeded that and helped reshape Russia's economy... And we're trying to destroy the Russian government. This is in addition to the at-home Mccarthyism. Good times y'all

@@daldladlamaybe there’s a reason why we would want this version of Russia to lose 🤨
