Here's Trumpy! (MST3k ~ "Pod People")

[@Crrrow]

"Hey, What gives?! I'M on the milk carton!" That line read. jesus god it gives me the best belly laughs.

[@BrianRetro]

5:47, "Trumpy, you can do stupid things!" I always loved that line!

[@tublar_stanley]

"do you know what playing is?" "yes, it's when i break you in half" love that line

[@GasmaskAvenger]

I just love that Severin gave this thing a blu-ray

[@trevormaine]

I've watched this movie at least five times over the years, and I _just_ realized that you can hear Mary Jo Pehl feeding Joel his line around 3.30

[@jacksongibbs8998]

3:30

[@michaelwautraets7126]

The music during the scene where Trumpy is looking at the cages sounds really serene.

[@JaneDoe-rj4jn]

It sounds like the group “Tangerine Dream”

[@GregLionProductions]

Believe it or not a quick search for the soundtrack does produce results!

[@StanSwan]

"I named you after Donald Trump" lol

[@pressureworks]

How Frank Connif watched hundreds, perhaps thousands of terrible movies, most even too terrible for MST3k, and didn't go absolutely mad is truly amazing.

[@scottschnellenberger3747]

Thanks for the upload. One of my favorite scenes. Crowe's legendary "potato" riff is a classic!

[@beadbop]

+Scott Schnellenberger You're very welcome, and it's obviously in my favorite MSTie moments too. "Wing-ed potatoes" -- cracks me up every time I hear it!

[@jimmyjim170]

Food. Eating. The Theatre.

[@dlxmarks]

Something about Trumpy speaking in John Hurt's Elephant Man voice makes the potato riff indelibly memorable. That and the kitten savaging his snout throughout the scene.

[@only257]

mine too

[@jacksongibbs8998]

“Delicious kitty... oh, ouch... kitty is like a potato.”

[@crowtservo]

This episode always will have a special place in my heart. I saw it at the Mayne Theater in Chicago and met Joel Hodgson in January of 2013.

[@JaneDoe-rj4jn]

I love how the English dub over actors portraying the kids mother abs grandfather sound typical cliche North American (especially the grand fathers voice) ..and the child’s dubbed over voice has a more Euro accent. I love MST3K and Pod People is a classic!

[@Antnj81]

This, IMHO, is the best MST3K episode EVER!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jacksongibbs8998]

Idiot Control Now...

[@williamhowe1]

You think so too?

[@noahbawdy3395]

I love this show

[@bentramer682]

"Yes, its where I break you in half." Also love the Tommy jokes.

[@purplehaze2235]

“Like hell more food” best line ever.

[@FreedomForever2010]

Believe me, we've got the greatest potatoes. These potatoes are worth billions and billions.

[@drewturner9395]

mmmm...little winged potatoes.

[@trevorgoodchild8266]

Tommy can you hear me Can you feel me near you

[@cavalierfan1995]

little winged potatoes ouch thats my snout this potatoes got big ears

[@1lobster]

The Trump joke is even funnier now!

Ahead of their sweet, sweet time! 🤣🤣

And even more funnier now 😎

Little Winged Potatoes

[@TheSomnambulants]

One of my first episodes of MST3k I had ever watched.

[@thatonegirlelaine]

This was the first MST3K episode I ever saw. Still cracks me up. I miss this show.

[@beadbop]

I've had a major crush on Tom Servo since Season 1 of MST3k. RiffTrax is also very funny, but there's only humans making jokes... no bots. I have torrents of every MSTie episode and lots of RiffTrax. Let me know if you'd like any download links.

[@thatonegirlelaine]

@@beadbop I'd love them!

[@EddieHawkinsII]

Trumpy is adorable, especially baby Trumpy.

[@jeffyoung3756]

An evil version of ALF from an alternate dimension. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES.

funniest episode ever made love the scene where they sing idiot control now so funny

[@random22026]

Gypsy's singing on that song is a classic!! Love her earrings, too... 😂😂

[@10191927]

Trumpy is terrifying

[@terceldude]

yep. Trumpy is our Oval Office leader now :(

[@richardfannin9652]

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

I feel this movie would be umberable to finish without the bots Especially Crow voicing Trumpy

Kid: “Can We Have Baby Yoda?” Mom: “No, We Already Have Baby Yoda At Home.” *Baby Yoda At Home*

[@scooterpinball]

I have that robot trumpy plays with!

[@Tchernobog]

the script for this scene is even funnier. it just says he pats the cat on the head and moves along. but the cat in the actual scene wont leave him alone, chewing on his nose constantly.

[@dragonoidlover6164]

0:29 I named you after donald trump

[@beccahaines5060]

Ok, I haven't seen Elephant Man. Does the main character reference potatoes a lot? Crow's "potato" monologue is my second favorite Crow moment of all time (second from the Peter Graves screenplay)

[@beadbop]

Yes, E.M.'s diet as a circus freak consisted entirely of potatoes, prior to him being rescued by the kindly Dr. Hannibal Lecter, aka Anthony Hopkins. So, your potato connection was fully baked!

[@beccahaines5060]

Thanks! Lol the kindly Hannibal Lecter

[@theponydalek7923]

Trumpy, Alice, George, chief, McCloud

[@scottmeyer9731]

Ah, MST3K. How I miss you. Who knew they would be commenting on the 2016 presidential race way back in the '90s? Joel's line "Trumpy, you can do stupid things" is so on the nose.

[@trevorgoodchild8266]

In trucks

[@VanderbiltMr]

The cat sounds like Shrek Pinocchio “Well that’s no good. Uh uh”

[@turquoisem4436]

THIS IS SO CREEPY

[@jonathanwarrdddedcxddeecec4787]

Who fuzed Alf and et on a shoe string budget

[@rebeccahaines9839]

That must have been an unaired invention exchange.

[@BrianRetro]

I know this is cashing on the success of E.T., which just came out the year prior, but it wouldn't surprise me if Trumpy's face wasn't the inspiration for the main alien in Mac & Me.

[@random22026]

Or even ALF! 😮😮

[@moniquevamado]

Oh my yes! I knew I could find Trumpy here! :D

[@yodachewbacca6557]

Lol he named him after Donald Trump. This one is great rented it for the first time 15 years ago from Blockbuster.

[@JamesAlburyTheSkyAboveUs]

"Like Hell. MORE FOOD!" :)

[@Trainlover1995]

That kid sounds like Niki Yang. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a young Niki Yang dubbing him.

[@beadbop]

Actually, I would be ~very~ surprised if that was Niki's voice. The movie "Pod People" aka "Extra Terrestrial Visitors" was unleashed upon the unsuspecting world way back in 1983, and Niki didn't start doing voiceover work until 2008. That's a woman dubbing Tommy's voice, but it's not Niki. I'm so sorry if I busted your bubble!

[@victorhernandez8723]

Didn’t she voice BMO?

[@robertgriffin4811]

What's with that strange voice effect they're using on the dubbed voices? My older cousin used to enjoy Smurfs on Saturday, and it's similar to the metallic slightly higher pitched filter they used in that show. Adds to the nightmare fuel here, so it's cool.

[@plunderpunk2]

It's just not the same without the Gumby scene!

[@donnylurch4207]

I have always hated Tommy's voice so much.

[@Soultaker_For_Hire]

agreed. His voice is annoying.

[@jaywunder13242]

sounds like a grown up trying too hard to sound like a kid

[@elisahuberman3408]

J Wunder It's voice is like a fake kid's voice

[@sajamor0811]

Someone should have fetched Trumpy a pepperpot so he would sneeze and pistol whip Tommy with peanuts!

[@victorhernandez8723]

J Wunder No, she sounds like she’s not trying at all.

[@joshuaservi8189]

im scared

[@beadbop]

Hey, just imagine if there was a Trumpy in the real world! That would be a living nightmare... If you want, I can read you a bedtime story, sing you a lullaby, and leave the night-light on. You're safe, luv!

[@DrGregoryHouseIT]

There is a Trumpy in the real world (the one in Pod People is prettier) and he can really do stupid things!

[@beadbop]

Gregory House This stupid Trumpy of the real world you speak of -- It stinks!!! And you're right about it being oh-so-ugly, outside and in... 8^P
