MST3k 420 - The Human Duplicators

[@ChickenPizza]

Kevin Murphy's Tom Servo was easily my favorite character on this show, and seeing that room full of Servos all talking at once was hilarious!

[@pressureworks]

I wonder where all those Tom Servos are and when might their uprising begin ????

1:01:15 For the curious, from the wiki, and because I like it; "The term ["robot"] comes from a Czech word, robota, meaning "forced labor"; the word 'robot' was first used to denote a fictional humanoid in a 1920 play R.U.R. (Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti - Rossum's Universal Robots) by the Czech writer, Karel Čapek but it was Karel's brother Josef Čapek who was the word's true inventor".

I only started reading their wiki's when fans favorit'ed so many performers I'd never heard of.

[@rodneydowney2561]

This movie marked the end of Hugh Beaumont's career in film. With "Beaver," his best acting days were clearly behind him, so he packed it in and became a Christmas tree farmer. Did he get the idea from the opening scene?

[@tommyjonq]

90 percent of my Internet bill is watching MST3K and the related shows. Over and over. 1. FWIW, the Frank and Forrester's fake laughter at their own gag is the best fake laughter in entertainment history. And the gag they're laughing about is funny, too. 2. Before he even opens his mouth, the valiant Richard Kiel walks into a MSTie buzz saw. Well-played. 3. About the 12th time I watched this episode, I finally realized that it was one of the MSTies, not Kiel, who replied "Okay" to his briefing by his overlords. 4. "I was with NASA back when we were next to Cost Cutters." Gold. 5. Until I saw this episode, I did not know that Richard Kiel did not play Lurch. So, a slam at Kiel's expense is a nice little well-played shoutout to Ted Cassidy. Where's MST's Nobel Prize? There's no justice. 6. Even after correcting themselves, they just go ahead and drop a handful of Addams Family snarks, anyway. 7. The song, "One (Singular Sensation) is from the finale of A Chorus Line, in which all the dancer characters from the play appear onstage in identical costume and makeup--as though they were duplicates of the same human. FWIW. 8. In Heaven, the MSTies do all 1X,000 episodes of General Hospital, plus Fantasy Island, and selected episodes of Little House on the Prairie and the Waltons. So, be good for goodness' sake!

And Mike Nelson AS: The Hugh Beaumont 🐿

[@evilcam]

I love the invention exchange in this episode. William Conrad First Alert, plus the Mads uncontrollably giggling at the notion that their invention is absurd, just hits me the right way. I giggle almost as much as they do whenever I watch it. The only opening host segment that I can remember liking that much was the "touch the llama" segment. I also appreciated this episode for the fact that Kiel actually got to act in this movie, instead of scowling and grunting as was his usual typecast fare. His acting in this is nothing to write home about, but the character itself seemed to be written to be monotone with a small inkling of subtle emotion. Which means that Kiel probably nailed it exactly as the writer intended. Regardless, that they let him act is still something in itself.

[@potatopower4026]

I agree with you, and I too am glad he actually was able to play a character with actual dialogue instead of the caveman type sounds as you described like his role in Eegah for example. Best wishes!

Clyde Funny how my name is based off yours. Is that why you are so reasonable with me? 😂😂 Considering how many mst3k fans are on board with Joel in attacking masculinity and being "triggered" by the evil white sexist 1950s man, I am surprised to see someone who recognizes what our world is today. I know it is a fool's hope, but I wish the reboot would pick on everything. Feminism, Republicans, Democrats etc. But we all know that the show will probably go from "somewhat unobtrusive left" where it is now, to "Unashamedly, in your face super left/PC" :(

[@quester09]

it's just a show, and you should really just relax.

[@williammatthews693]

I adore "The X-Files" reference towards the end when Servo says, "Now we get to find out who Deepthroat really is!"

[@analogkid01]

hmm, is that an X Files reference? I figured it was just Watergate.

[@williammatthews693]

@@analogkid01 I guess it could be but the X-Files episodes involving Deepthroat's fate aired around the time this episode did if I'm not mistaken. But you could be right. Fun fact: The actor who played Deepthroat in the X-Files has a one-off scene in "Mitchell".

[@steveharvey2102]

I'm more inclined to agree with you because after the reference someone says, it was Hal Holbrook, who played deepthroat in "All the presidents men". Thanks for your uploads over the years btw. You're a hero on the same level as Puma man...wait, that might have come out wrong ;) Cheers from Canada

@@analogkid01 I'd go with Watergate.

29:30 Space Agency Advisory Board? So he worked for Saab?

[@dougjb7848]

Noel Goetowski Yeah, but he’s late to work everyday because he had trouble getting the ignition key in.

I love how The Mads are consensual this episode :) It's good to see them enjoy and respect each other's company once in a while. Ah... :3

at 30:39: the theme of Rockford Files!

I haven't seen this one. Thanks for posting!

I get the feeling that Barbara Nichols' (Gale) Long Island accent was the inspiration for the voice of Harley Quinn.

Trace kills me every time from 52:30 to 52:40. "Oh, poopie" indeed.

[@jonahfalcon1970]

The film starred Ellen Barkin, and the ads proclaimed "Ellen Barkin in SWITCH!" Smits' agent must have been pissed off that Smits got left out of the trailer closing, so a quick ADR "Jimmy Smits" was added at the last second.

God in heaven, what the HELL were the Mads huffing for the invention exchange this episode??

“Blind leading the bland” . . . hilarious 🍿

[@ellieblack8028]

I can't believe no one invited the android to stay at the end after he said all that :( that would have been interesting imo

It was the Termintor 2 ending
