    Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: MST3K Moments Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy 10 Comments1 Min Read

    With the possible return of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 via Kickstarter Campaign, I’ve been reminiscing about the glory days of the show.  It was very early in my college career when the HBO Comedy Channel merged with HA! to form Comedy Central, and those long-ago 90s TV schedules featured Joel and The ‘Bots regularly.  A group of college chums even named their band ‘Bring Back Joel’ after Mike took center stage, and I still remember seeing episode like ‘Mitchell’ (“Hot merging action!”) and Godzilla Vs. Megalon, featuring Jet Jaguar.  My eleven year-old daughter has been able to sing the Jet Jaguar song (“His mother never loved him!”) since well before she had any idea what MST3K stood for, which leads us to today’s not-too-distant query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced “raos-dao-wur”) will still occasionally exclaim “Trumpy!  You can do stupid things!” and “EAAARL HOOOOLLIMAAAN!” at random intervals, proving that the show’s humor will stick with ya, asking: What’s the greatest MST3K moment, meme, running gag or joke?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      I don’t consider it one of the best moments, but one of the bits I quote most often comes from when they watched the movie “Werewolf” and at the end sang a medley of random songs. Whenever my friends are singing while cooking or driving or something, I often throw out a random “TUSK!”, and then we usually end up singing an equally random medley of songs.

      I also sing the Gamera song a lot.

      Also, any time Tom Servo (Kevin Murphy) sang during the movie. To this day I can’t hear the song “Separate Ways” without thinking that I should Leave The Bronx!
