I'm watching the Mitchell episode on their official YouTube channel. Is there a way to turn off the annotations?

Although the funniest F-Bomb I've heard was from Kevin during the last Sketchfest where in reference to The Room he mutters "God I hate that loving movie."

It's way funnier when they're not allowed to curse, because it focuses the comic energy on finding new ways to make cracks about the movie that are more relevant than them just despairing over how bad it is.

Yeah I hope they keep the tone more or less what it was, if you want constant swearing and sex jokes there's plenty of other alternatives out there. The charm of the show was the clever jokes that highlight how stupid the film is without explicitly saying it was horrible.

Could go the rifftrax method of doing really loud and long bleeps, making a simple cuss seem more graphic.

Also, for the record I don't want them to go 'blue' I was just curious if they would considering the venue and writers. I think MST3k being a show that the whole family could enjoy is what helped it. Though I still wouldn't say 'dickweed' in front of my mother.

Pretty much -- obviously he's persona non grata now, but there's a reason Bill Cosby's stand-up was popular for decades after he recorded it: He actually wrote jokes, instead of just going for vulgarity.

And excessive bleeping can be just as funny. On the original Birdemic riff, at one point Bill just goes off on how stupid the movie is (not unlike the aforementioned Crow skit) and it's just hilarious.

Monster A Go-Go is so terribly, legitimately bad that I think they could have ended the experiment right there. It's unwatchable with the crew making fun of it as it is.

This is one of my favorite Joel Eps. "Brrrnnng" "There was no monster" I would riot if I saw this in the theater back in the day but as an MST3k it's great. Also, "Joel...the Pina Colada song?"

Monster A Go-Go is literally the worst thing I've ever seen, up to and including Mr. Hands, 2girls1cup, 1guy1jar, and Batman vs. Superman.

Monster A-Go-Go at least gave us Circus On Ice. Just like how Manos gave us Hired!-Part Two. Also I sincerely hope Mike cameos at some point as Torgo.

Remember when they tried to make Ortega the new Torgo?

I imagine they're still working that out (legal clearances and the like), considering they're still adding writers and cast members and they haven't given even a vague sense of a release date (and the Netflix pickup might have given them an increased budget, too).

Well, considering they've written all the riffs for the 14 experiments, I think they'll probably be released by the end of the year.

Just remember, we want that to primarily list good jumping on points for the show, not just personal favorites. I tried to use Hobgoblins to introduce my wife and it took her two years to give the show another shot. Ensign_Ricky fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Jul 24, 2016 |

I think Escape 2000 is a pretty great place to start, except possibly it's got the "and my mother's here!" skits at the beginning and end which are pretty weird and not the good doctor's best work.

I tried to use Hobgoblins to introduce my wife and it took her two years to give the show another shot. When the show was still on, I was 12 and my sister was 8, and my 8 year old sister legit liked Hobgoblins enough to get mad at Mike and the bots mocking it. I showed it to her recently, and she said her kid self must have been insane.

I just finished watching Riding With Death, flipped channels and stumbled across an episode of The Love Boat. And who was there? Yep, Ben Murphy.

Ensign_Ricky posted:Hey I like Ortega. Sever. I feel like Giant Spider Invasion is a good intro. It's a B-movie but also has Alan Hale. Everyone knows Skipper! I think it helps to know who you're exposing to the show. Some might love classic b-movies like Revenge of the Creature or Monster A-GoGo. But I think some might also respond to the 70's movies like Riding With Death or Codename:Diamondhead (Lovejoy!). Some of my personal favorites are Night of the Blood Beast and Incredible Melting Man. The Ape of Naples fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Jul 24, 2016 |

Ensign_Ricky posted:Hey I like Ortega. I think Angels' Revenge is the best ep to introduce the show to someone. It has recognizable actors, is fast paced, and takes itself too seriously so that it's easy to laugh at. And Mitchell was the ep that made me a fan.

This post is missing its  Squirm was the gateway for Mr Boods -- being British, he doesn't know/recognise the usual made-for-TV actors that show up in many of the shows. But even he knows, nobody is that Southern.

I'm pretty sure Joel said in one of the backer updates that he doesn't like the idea of releasing the movie titles beforehand, that he'd prefer it to be a surprise week to week.
