MST3K - A Day At The Fair

"This is the fairground, where the fair is held." "Any questions so far?"

[@meangreen8873]

"Scientists aren't sure what this represents" Fucking genius.

[@SomeGuyinWY]

"Later, these moths turn up in the mouths of Bob's victims". Silence of the Lambs riffs are few, but priceless.

[@eviljoel]

There's one in I Was A Teenage Werewolf, too.

[@pronkb000]

From Cheating: "This kid could freak out Jame Gumb!"

[@juanelorriaga2840]

I found Kevin Murphy riffs got very dark/humour and I love them as did my older brothers and father too we loved this show back in the early 1990s abd onward

[@A-Gut-of-the-Past]

"THIS is a JET PLANE..." "...where does the CORN go?!" Still one of my favorites.

[@sitarnut]

But don't forget, "Hitler's Death Car".....

[@BryonYoungblood]

"This is the fairground where the fair is held." Tom: Any questions so far?? So simple, but it works :D

[@CooroSnowFox]

Is the fair in this ground?

[@DrGregoryHouseIT]

'And the prize goes to a girl.' The cows are furious! 'Judging cakes oughta be fun.' But this woman sucks the joy out of it. 'Joey loses out.' Joey hates himself.

[@Swagnificent1991]

"No-one can explain why Father is 85."

[@Mackie120]

Negan "Hitler's death car!"

[@BryonYoungblood]

"Oh, not your gallstones, Henry!"

[@juanelorriaga2840]

That line is just too damn funny

[@Quiltfish]

It's simple really, he's the older brother of the couple.

[@SCSilk]

Mom was no spring chicken either.

[@davey3765]

This had me dying laughing - that part with the boy brushing his cow 'Did Donna do this rinse? Honey lets go with bangs this time'

[@kennydeez..1774]

😂😂I just read your comment.. I didn’t even start looking at the video yet. Your comment had me laughing out loud 😂😅. Now I can’t wait to look for it when watching it.👍🏾

[@backedup39]

"This is a jet plane. Wonder what it would be like to fly it...." ".....over Cambodia secretly maintaining plausible deniability."

[@pittland44]

Still love that line.

[@hambor12]

that one goes great with Last Clear Chance's "Almost ran over Kissinger! Better go back." gag

[@juanelorriaga2840]

@@hambor12 that line is the best I yelled out loud laughing lol

[@christophergargaro959]

"Here at the Olsen's farm..." "Pain is everywhere" LMAO!!

[@Mabtheist]

"But first, she must see what Mr. Olsen is taking to the fair." "Oh, not your gall stones, Henry!"

[@stoptellingmetolikecomment1624]

One of my favorite shorts. Noone can explain why father is 85 🤣

[@spookyloop5174]

“The family of shame” still cracks me up 🤣

[@Andyblarg]

Out of all the MST3K shorts, this is the one that lives in my head rent free the most.

[@BritneyandKaitlyn]

I lolled big time on "The blue ribbon goes to a girl." "THE COWS ARE FURIOUS!"

[@luisreyes1963]

"Let's get busy in the car..."🚜

[@himynameishelen]

"Pickles pack the stands for the pickle races!" made me laugh so hard

[@juanelorriaga2840]

That was great I remember watching this years ago and my mother laughing so hard in the other room when Thry said thst

[@JetJockey87]

First she feels the cake... "THEN SHE RUBS IT INTO HER HAIR!"

[@Evertide05]

"Life goes on, dull as before." - This short in one riff

[@Jaylectricity]

"The gates to the midway open to a hundred ways of having fun, or you can just get hammered." Haha, so many great lines.

[@SlateofGranite]

It's time for fun "So they LEAVE the fair!"

[@kathyfreebury5713]

Ah yes the best line

[@theblackrosedaughter]

" A wheel slices into the crowd, killing three! " gets me every time xD lmao

[@Yougotsblounchsked]

AIEEEE!

[@ToastedAlmond98]

Still, nothing measures up to those bass, huh?

[@kellyweingart3692]

“Uggh, Freddy Krueger”

[@juanelorriaga2840]

“Hitlers Death Car”

[@BryonYoungblood]

“Get the car!! THERE’S CARROTS IN THE CAR!!!”

[@stompchunkman4248]

"It's all done being protective chicken wire". That line kills me.

[@juanelorriaga2840]

“I’ll pay ya….cmon pick mine”

[@cannedcream]

This was amazing. The Nirvana part made me laugh so hard I choked on my sandwich.

[@pronkb000]

Coming right off the stiff rendition of "Grazing in the Grass."

[@tgfabthunderbird1]

"Hitler's Death Car!" Love it!

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

I went to an agricultural society fair today, and thanks to this film, I knew how corn is judged! #IWannaGoHorsies

[@soulhunger1]

When the kid was brushing his cow, I was thinking "WITH the fur, kid, WITH the fur!".

[@LoveForMe]

"The family of shame!" XD That part gets me every time.

[@marquis911]

Judging cakes ought to be fun, but this woman sucks the joy out of it!

[@KingKenny04]

"This is a jet plane" "Where's the Corn go?" "Wonder what it's like to fly it?" "-Over Cambodia!" Oh god my throat hurts from laughing so hard.

[@ashland1977]

"Hitler's Death Car!" nearly choked to death on that line.

[@aragamifrog2]

Ok, I searched IMDB and it was filmed in Louisville. It was filmed in 47 and it must of been at the old fair grounds cause the one building at the end didn't look too much like Freedom hall... but then again I may be wrong. This is the Kentucky State Fair which is held every year and I usually go to it about every other year. Last year I saw Alice Cooper perform. :)

[@AnnoyingSquib]

Farm folks are bringing in the products of the harvest. The choicest of their animals Crow: Their dates! This is a jet plane wonder what it would be like to fly it? Mike: Over Cambodia secretly maintaining plausible deniability.

[@Honehe]

Oh my god, the whole part with the rides had me cracking up. "The directer got arty here. ROLLA COASTTAA"

[@luisreyes1963]

The barfing part whilst riding the Whip ride? 🤮

[@adiraiju9336]

"And what's this?" "EVIL!" Well, it does look like Devil's Food Cake...

[@jetfire851]

"Now Johnny goes to see the fish!" Man, if this was riffed a few years later, they could've put in a "This is where the fish live" joke.

[@XBFNoodles]

"You've spent your nickel! We're done!" Awesome.

[@luisreyes1963]

"Too soon, the ride's over." Crow: The law suits begin. 🗞️

[@monkeymouse]

For the past few years I've been at the county fair, Berrien County, Michigan; and this is STILL a pretty accurate description of how it goes.

[@sabinamaria3325]

"You've spent your nickel, we're DONE!" xDD

[@Ydna0]

I like "these moths were later found in the mouths of Bob's victims" I couldn't stop laughing.

[@luisreyes1963]

Thank God Methane rises...💨

[@racheledwards2338]

I lost it when Crow sez, She rubs it into her hair

[@timbartschwolfman]

God I love Mystery Science Theater 3000

[@amandahess151]

As a 4-Her I’m laughing even harder

[@Kahran042]

"Pa, slow down! You're doing 15!"

[@ShoesB3tch]

"Later, these moths turn up in the mouths of Bob's victims." Ooh very Silence of the Lambs-esque.

[@juanelorriaga2840]

When I heard the kids name was Bob and the insects he was looking at I knew a Silence of the Lambs riff was coming haha

[@katcandoo]

Never watch these shorts while drinking coffee. You have been warned.

[@jaded1978]

Or any liquid really lol

[@Replicaate]

Seeing the harness race bit made me oddly nostalgic - my dad used to take me to see horse races a lot...

[@liminal_fruitbat]

"This is the fairground, where the fair is held." Is that near where the fish lives?

[@DerekPower]

Zah!

[@davohna]

Cow scene Crow says.. "Thank God methane rises." Bawhahaha.

[@AmuroNT1]

"What's this?" Crow: EVIL!

[@nicktesla440]

Want the real thing? This was shot at the Indiana State Fair. C'mon by - it's the same today.

[@chaoticjacket238]

I think it looks like the Iowa State Fair...

[@HVACSoldier]

RavenTheEnderNinja I’m going to the Iowa State Fair, for the first time. Try some that “unusual” fair food.

[@GrixieKong]

Do they still have the Man in the Hat exhibit? I’ve always wanted to see that.

[@cannedcream]

"What's this?" "EVIL!!!" Cracks me up every time.

[@ilikethecokev2]

"No one can explain why Father is 85" "What's this?...EVIL!" "except this one doesn't have Father's arms stuck in it" "He is all knowing and wise" "all too soon the rides are over...the lawsuits begin"

[@MadBomber691]

"here we are now, entertainers!"

[@luisreyes1963]

What happened to the "Freaks Of Nature" we were promised? 🦔

[@electrogeek77]

I'm more impressed with the Friends of Distinction reference("Grazing in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?").

[@Nickzilla22]

"Still, nothing measures up that bass eh?" HA HA!!! That one made me fall out of my chair...

[@darkangel2347]

Almost all Australian capital city "fairgrounds" or in Australian terms "Metropolitian Shows" still look almost like this in style and form as of now. I go to one every year in early September in the "Royal Adelaide Show". The reason for survival of these events in Australia is due to the huge distances between Australian capital cities and the very poor quality of interstate transport options. So this MST3K short is still very relevant for me. Distance between Melbourne and Sydney is a bout 1000 kilometres and the distance from Sydney to Brisbane (and the Gold Coast) is about 960 kilometres. And Melbourne is about 760 kilometres from Adelaide. Still to this day, Australia is still not served by fast train(ie TGV, Bullet Train, etc) transport.The Royal Adelaide Show has no known or identifiable competition (apart from frequent flyer point schemes). In 2002 it was rated the third most profitable "fairground" show in the entire world!

[@juanelorriaga2840]

I saw these on my visits to AUS and made me think of this My wife is from Soliders point (lives with me in NYC now for over 12 years now) but when I go there in between the cities I find it very nice these fairs and Aussies are just always nice and good time people always up to have a time eat and drink.Also I love Gold Coast we would always go to the Gold Coast before seeing family and friends just to chill out for a few days nice place

[@kcfreak725]

"First she feels the cake." "Then she rubs it into her hair." "Then she tastes it." "What the hell is this?"
