MST3K - Favorite Moments - Mitchell

This episode features Joe Don Baker as the amazingly unappealing cop - Mitchell - probably one of the most unlikeable characters ever. Making the audience feel good when the hero is beaten up is not excatly a positive selling point for any movie. Anyway, this episode features Linda Evans, Martin Balsam (what happend?), and John Saxon as the movies absurdly uninteresting sub-plot. The sub-plot is apparently of so little interest that the movie itself forgets about it.
This is also the last MST show with Joel Hodgson.

The huge WHAATT! when Mitchell's gun slides down his leg always gets me!

[@michaelcoleman7260]

Me too!

Baby oil?! NOOO!

[@ahoneanatwo]

The six dislikes came from six different You Tube accounts created by Joe Don Baker.

[@LchanOtakudom]

ahoneanatwo I'd believe it.

[@Kittyjingles28]

I think he made 2 more accounts its up to 8 now

[@IntheeyesofMorbo]

its up to 10 now

[@jeffcdeleon]

Accounts names are: Joe Don Baker, Don Joe Baker, Boe Jon Daker, Doe Bon Jaker, SteakFan, and MitchellLover7.

[@8GrayDemon8]

Is Baker even alive?

[@LchanOtakudom]

"HEY! WHAT? (BANG) OH!" I laugh hysterically every time! Thank you, Joel!!

[@BlueEyes7452]

Two of my all time favorite MST3K riffs: "Mitchell. Even his name says, "is that a beer?" "Hot merging action!"

[@Oodus]

Mitchell: "Never found out who he was." Chief: "Well, ask him, don't shoot him! Who was he?" Tom: "I didn't ask him. I shot him." Epic.

[@westholmes2001]

"Mitchell! Heart's Pounding! Mitchell! Veins Clogging! Mitchell!" "HOT MERGING ACTION!" "Our hero, ladies and gentlemen!" "Mitchell: Licensed to Slouch!" "I WANNA EAT!"

[@DomIstKrieg]

'BUT EATING!!!'

[@nygiantsfan6]

The genius of this episode is that the movie relies completely on Joe Don Baker's character being a total badass. Joel and the crew spend the entire thing just ripping him apart and turning him into a laughing stock.

[@cameronstone4495]

Sorry, I'm really unappealing.

[@eddiejc1]

"The genius of this episode is that the movie relies completely on Joe Don Baker's character being a total badass." Off by three letters.

[@MinscFromBaldursGate92]

That's the joke

[@roguelead72]

"I don't pay for your hookers, Mitchell." "Could you?" Dammit now I've got to clean coffee off my screen.

[@SufjanSays]

Oh my god, I absolutely lost it at Tom's shriek during the horrendous exchange between Mitchell and the kid. God, so funny.

[@luisreyes1963]

Golden Globe material, folks. 😆

[@wombatgirl997]

Its exactly how I was feeling, and he just captured it perfectly.

[@mattwilliams4222]

Almost every line is soo quotable. Sometimes my best friend and myself communicate entirely through Mitchell quotes. And everything's always completely crystal clear. If only regular communication was so accurate.. I remember watching this when it was originally on the air on Comedy Central. Hysterical, yet misunderstood by many. The good old days

[@monkeymouse]

"Hey!" "What?" BANG Always cracks me up.

[@nygiantsfan6]

I specifically remember watching that on TV and just losing it there.

[@djkornphlake]

"OH"

[@tabomst3k466]

That's my favorite part

[@sillygrl23]

I think I burst a gut laughing when they screamed "BABY OIL! AAAAAAHHH!" during the sex scene. And there are no good words to describe the song playing in the background when they are making out o.o

[@lambda494]

[@lambda494]

Other good scenes: At the police station: "You really slept with that?" Crow: "First things first!" "Why does he keep downshifting an automatic!?" during the chase scene

[@stealthnegro001]

4:40 "The new Chrysler Fury: the car that thinks it's a house."

[@silentagony]

He missed one of the funniest lines in the show. When Mitchell breaks the tin foil to get into the house (3:07). One of the guys say "Reynolds wrap, keeps freshness in, can't keep Mitchell out". Its one of my favorite lines.

[@daschwah]

Brilliant. The only bit I missed was the "Pass the peas... potatoes... turkey... ham... (etc)" from the dinner scene with Balsam. So good.

[@banff9858]

"Beer? Beer. You like em half empty. Some of em have a cigarette in them." Thank you for that LOL, Crow!!!

"Was that a gun in your pocket, or you're just...never mind." 😞

[@killerskillet]

I named my dog "Mitchell" after this MST3K episode. He was a pug and I'd often say to him "OOoooohhh, *I wanna eat*!"

[@iaincowell9747]

But eating!

[@killerskillet]

Hey is that a beer?

[@raygamma36]

Pugs are great dogs.

[@savgmouse]

I don't know why, but "Johnny Mathis? Alright! Get my gun!" is one of my fav' lines ever.

[@GODLETMEWINAMEN]

The best scene was him strolling out of bed,hungover and farting ! The kid scene with Joe Don Baker repeating the lines and the robot goes Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ,lol !

I remember many saturday afternoons back in the nineties watching this show. High. Great times! Thanks for the vids, auritone

[@Monkofmagnesia]

From IMDB: Joe Don Baker was purportedly furious about MST3K's treatment of his film in this episode, and even said in an interview that he would "kick [the writers'] asses" if he ever met them. As a result, the MST3K writers would later mock another Baker film called Final Justice, in which they were deliberately cruel and relentless in making fun of Baker and his performance.

[@thebrokenglasskids5196]

No way Baker could lift that ham hock he calls a leg high enough to kick an ass.

[@Eisenwulf666]

I read somewhere he didn't mind in the beginning, but later after everybody mentioned this episode costantly and it started affecting his career (allegedly) he got angry. I mean, the guy is easy to mock, but he is a rather good character actor. We've seen worse performances in other MST3k movies. This episode is nonetheless one of my favourites,there's something for everybody ,from fart jokes to satire

[@Monkofmagnesia]

@@Eisenwulf666 I I have a friend whose last name is Mitchell.

[@mattwilliams4222]

Easily my all time favorite MST3K episode. I even bought it on DVD. My friend and I exchange random quotes from it, to this day. It's hysterical, beginning to end. "So long, CHUM!" Where else do you get dialog (quotes) like that..

[@ryanjacobson2508]

@@Eisenwulf666 Supposedly some MST3K personnel once were at a hotel where Joe DB also was staying. They avoided him since evidently the MST3K crew have heard credible reports that JDB truly hates the show and thought that they really did a number on him.
