How does the Gamera theme song stack up against songs from yesteryear?

PYF MST Short!

I'm torn between Spring Fever and Out Of This World (the bread sales one). One has a weirdly well-thought out premise for a corporate training film and the running bread mafia gags, the other has Coily, who still haunts all our nights. (And the boys, considering he's been referenced once or twice on Rifftrax)

I can't recall the name but the short about getting married too early was pretty amazing. Especially the scene where the girl's parents straight up say "Look, you have like 2 months of college left. Just chill out till then and after you graduate we'll buy you a house and you guys can get married." and the guys are just screaming "TAKE THE HOUSE! THE HOUSE!" was wonderful.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



My favorite short is "Out of this World", the one about the bread man whose soul is up for grabs between a devil and an angel. I love the host segment that follows.

"This bread has both shampoo and conditioner."
"And that, my friend, is a specialty bread."

That short is pretty unsettling to me after my husband confirmed what I'd always suspected - that this short is a fairly accurate representation of his upbringing.

Did you ever wonder where the Romans got bread from? It wasn't from Waitrose!
So many good choices here for fave shorts -- I love the bread one, and the 'Should we get a gay man for our house?' (The La! riff always catches me off guard).

But also:

The Gumby short -- That squares my breasts!

and

The Ben Franklin one -- Don't sass me boy!

The cheating short is lovely as well.

So on my slow MST3K watchathon, I can now pin point the exact moment the show began to resemble it's peak years.

Hellcats, episode 9 of season 2. Season 2 was a huge mark of improvement out the gate for the show, but episode 9 is a big leap in just about everything as far as the riffing goes. The riffs are coming faster and faster, and the minutes long argument between Joel and Crow resemble the dynamic they would develop later on.

It's a lot of fun going through the show like this and seeing how it improved and changed over time. Plus funny as hell.

I wonder if the revival will have any shorts. They seemed to peter out on them by the end, I can only recall three from the later seasons. The shorts were mainly meant to pad episodes with shorter movies right?
