My favorite series of ALL time 👽

[@nb8054]

the first commercial break starting strong with an ad for psychic readings by phone. perfect

[@FuckYouWhosNext]

best show in the 90's, including seinfeld

"I've always _wanted to_ be compared favorably to a show about nothing." Seriously, I can't figure out anything that can be used to even _justify_ having ever allowed Seinfeld to be aired. Everywhere I go, there are unthinking drones. It's the *opposite* of relaxing. Then one adds on the utter predictability of everyone & everything in it. Blechh. I think this parody & its title sums it up best, kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4eZlpl3fqZnl68. & even *_they_* gave it far more context with virtually no budget. & *_FAR more_* interesting characters who didn't have to explain their motivations each damned episode. Sorry... I'm honestly annoyed that said show gets any credit for anything. It wasn't original or well-done. But don't let that color *your view* of that low-budget parody. _Those_ guys are seriously talented & inventive.

I love that the special opened with a booger joke followed by a fart joke.

Came here from r/ObscureMedia, solid post

The "psychic" asking a woman if she's been thinking about a person from the past, hilarious, that's what women do every day 😂 what a hilarious ruse that anybody would fall for that crap.

[@SkippySquirrel-wj1up]

Personally, I think Trace Beaulieu's performance of Crow is iconic, but Bill Corbett's performance of Crow is funnier.

[@pizzavenkman9401]

Video breaks a few minutes in.

[@SkippySquirrel-wj1up]

17:39 - Oh my god! This CG is as bad as Foodfight (2012)!

[@Catman1798]

I watch the 24/7 MST3K channel literally everyday all day sometimes. I came to the conclusion that it was better under Mike as the host. Joel’s new version of this show is lousy. It’s gone woke big time. And the special effects are plain lousy. Why didn’t he keep it simple like before? Now it looks more expensive to keep up. No wonder they have telethons to make money. The new characters don’t cut it either. They call gypsy gpc now lol geese. Forrester never had a kid either. Kevin Murphy is my favorite of them all. He is so hilarious as Tom. Trace was my favorite crow too. He was very funny. Too bad they can’t bring those two back together. I always said Kevin is like the Michael Anthony of Van Halen. It isn’t the same without him in the group lol.

These guys have NOTHING to do with the concepts or designs of MST3K. NOTHING. It's because of shit like this that people think that these are the guys who are responsible for it. THEY ARE NOT. It's insulting for them to even talk about it. You are all subs, who do nothing but a bad impression of those who created, well, everything.

[@tarlcabot2519]

What now? Did I miss something? What are you talking about?

[@choosecarefully408]

@@tarlcabot2519 Sounds like someone copied & pasted a drunken rant from some other video? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@pt008]

They honored the history, they were the ones who were making it at the time, and they were talking about their legit experience. And Mike is better than Joel.
