which episode was it where a kid writes in asking servo to dance for them, he does a halfassed step for two seconds and goes “ink, adinka-do, there ya go, show that to your mom”?

It ends basically the same way as the movie, since the movie takes the first couple of episodes and the last episode and smashes them together despite all the mess that'd bring

Watching The Violent Years, specifically the short in front of it "A Young Man's Fancy" and just realized that Judy sticks all her food in the oven where it sits for two hours before they actually start cooking. Which just seems... unsafe.

Remember, you can't trust anyone in that short.

Century 21 Calling is definitely an outlier in those futurism shorts because the stuff they talked about actually happened. Probably helped that they were showcasing stuff that was actually being worked on instead of most shorts where they're just blue skying.

Reminder, there's another The Mads livestream tomorrow night, this one a collection of shorts. Once again you cannot purchase a show after it has aired but if you buy tickets before and don't have time to watch it live you will get a download version.

I've always wanted to see those Japanese TV shows edited into movies in their original form, they seem goofy enough that they'd be fun to watch. There was Time of the Apes, Fugitive Alien, and Mighty Jack in all I think.

Hideaki Anno rebuilt the Mighty Jack for his tokusatsu museum, so I'm guessing that's at least somewhat remembered fondly in its original form.

Not sure haven't really watched too many beach movies, all I know is I'm glad a place that's dear to my heart has a MST3K connection

My personal guess is that they wanted to make fun of a beach movie and the rights were cheap

It is an incredibly standard beach movie though Little Richard is of a higher quality than the B-list surf bands that beach movies usually got.

Was that also the only movie they did that was (intentionally) supposed to be a comedy?

Some purport to be satire (I believe Space Mutiny is in this category), and I feel there's a fair few that wanted to be comedy before whatever other genre they're supposed to be (Attack of The The Eye Creatures can barely go minutes without snarky commentary or attempts at jokes from one loathsome character or another)

Quest of the Delta Knights as well. That movie didn't really seem to know what it wanted to be but there were a fair amount of slapstick moments/comedic bits.

The director of Squirm famously cited his movie to be this and how could those Best Brain nerds just not get it and anyway they were ripping off Elvira and Svengoolie. Or so he said in an angry email to... the head of the MST3K forum of the time.

The entire "You better run (or he'll eat your lunch)/ You better hide (your lunch)" over the end credits is just mean-spirited fat-shaming, but I can't help but to like it, because it feels like an open taunt after Joe Don Baker threatened them about their treatment of Mitchell. It's basically them telling Joe Don Baker "You think you can take us? Go 'head on. It's your move."
