MST3K - Favorite Moments - The Touch of Satan

What happens when you sell your soul to Satan? You live on a walnut-farm in the middle of nowhere with at homicidal grand-ma - my sister - my grand-ma - my sister - well, you get the idea.
This movie features a cup stuck to the chin, a cow, a walnut-farm with not a single walnut, Carnation ice-cream, pitch-fork action, storm lanterns, the longest pauses outside Ingmar Bergman movies, lessons in how NOT to hide murder weapons, witch burnings, overuse of Amazing Grace, fields, trees and some rather weird but very accurate observations like - "This is where the fish lives!"
Always loved this episode.

[@FingerBreakerWu]

"A hip Satan that solve crimes..." 20 years later, "Lucifer" hits the airwaves.

[@chunkavelli294]

💡

[@jimmystewart123]

Fun fact: The director of photography on this was Jordan Cronenweth who gave us the stylistic noir look of Blade Runner. I guess we all have to start somewhere!

[@edgarallanlovecraft5485]

"This is where the fish live" My pick for the dumbest line in MST3K history

[@whiteknightcat]

One word: Rowsdower

[@eledhwenmare2403]

“15 (?) men on a dead Dodge Dart”.

[@mrcritical6751]

“There is no way out of here, it will be dark soon. There is no way out of here”

[@i.m.strandedinsonoma7170]

"I sure hope he said peanuts."

[@jasonlilly9704]

"Is this your car?" "Yes." "Mind if I skip rocks across it?"

[@mikeeihusen5194]

Lol... I love that line..

[@JohnnyKChop]

“These walnuts are tearing through the hay.” My favorite line of all time.

[@docdave15]

the jokes about the old lady kill me everytime. "Where's my bike! I reported stolen 80 years ago"

[@Eric________]

"This is where my tongue lives"

[@JohnnyCxviii]

"Poopdeck Pappy gettin' all upset here." Great line by Mike. Kevin Murphy's singing voice (as Tom Servo) is always a highlight of any MST3K episode.

[@nibblesxsips]

The public domain amazing grace song cracked me up, lol.

[@nataliewaters7415]

"Okay, every one, I just want to see if he gets his shoes on...ye...yes...great! Glad they showed that to us." I laugh everytime at this line.

[@johnwriter8234]

"I'm NOT going back, Jim." (Great Star Trek reference)

[@Marigen1971]

Which episode is it? Is it the one where Spock falls in love?

[@Omnicrom]

It's supposed to be one of Spock's lines from "This Side of Paradise", though actually he apparently never says it. In an interview the crew say they used the line a lot as an inside joke, and were later mortified when they got together to rewatch the episode and realized it's never spoken. Basically it's Best Brains personal version of "Beam Me Up Scotty" (another line never actually spoken in Star Trek)

[@bleekandwriter]

"A kind of hip Satan who solves crimes." ...it's a weird word you live in when a passing joke on a parody show becomes a fully fleshed and apparently popular reality.

[@jonathanwashington6083]

Geez if these "dramatic" pauses were any more pregnant, they'd be having septuplets!

[@ianvincibl3]

This will always be my favorite MST3K episode, right in front of SPACE MUTNY.

[@Poxell91]

"It's sad. Really is." _"Yup. Really, really, really sad. Ok, sex now?"_ "What's in the chest?" _"...beg your pardon?"_ Such a great sequence. 😂😂

[@ZERO_O7X]

Sit with me, and Satan too... He's your friend and mine! @4:20 Kevin singing to these soundtracks is by far my favorite thing ever. 😂

[@Diamhea]

Damn, you missed "goodnight fish" "goodnight kids!" and "I love the yelling channel"

[@baronvg]

"This is my unbelievably sweaty dad." LMAO!

[@Mozilla345]

Me and my dad always at dinner will start saying "AND THEN HE DIED HAHAHAHAHAH"

[@michaelbeaudoin1518]

"Maybe the dagblaggit thing is over yonder?" Hahahaha!

[@filipinowhiteboy]

"you got a needle? I need to re-inflate your grandma"

[@Taramw32]

"Oo, I sure hope he said 'peanuts'."

[@olaf2046]

"i put some pinuts in it" "I sure hope he said peanuts" lol

[@ImLarryMcGillicutty]

Although it's not in this montage, my favorite is "I sure like the yelling channel."

[@jlwiseman98]

"And then he died" XD well there goes my lungs.

[@shadowGIBBONS]

"Those Walnuts are tearing through the hay!"

[@fozzgate8599]

None of these episodes are my favorites, just MST3K itself is my favorite.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

"Don't spook the walnuts!" LOL

[@danieloneal7137]

Little did they know that we would eventually get a tv show about a hip Satan who solves crimes.

[@313SHRALP]

There's been a walnut uprisin'

[@priceman141]

"This is where the fish lives" "This is where my tongue lives"

[@highway234]

i've given it a lot of thought and my official position is that "this is where my tongue lives" is the #1 mst3k riff of all time.

[@TheAggroCraig]

"Oh, I sure hope he said 'peanuts'." One of my favorite riffs ever, if only because I thought he said something else as well...

[@minacapella8319]

this song is in, the public domain... that's why we used it twice~

[@rosearow]

+Mina Capella I can never hear Amazing Grace without singing along with the MST3K version in my head. You have no idea how much of a problem this is at funerals.

[@Azmina_the_warlock]

+Tam Rosearrow LOL

[@theminakins815]

+Tam Rosearrow it's ok I'm the same way with we will rock you by Queen. all I hear is the rowsdower version

[@Bomfunker91]

"Why won't you lay any eggs!?" "Hello tractor, how are you today?" "Well hello there, pile of dung!" "Maybe the dagblaggit thing is over yonder!" I love their grizzled old farmer....

[@Saavykaas]

"Why won't you lay any eggs?!"

[@jeannelieber5817]

I always forget 'this is where the fish lives'

[@TheQuilanvos]

Crow: Wait, you can't use Amazing Grace in a DEVIL movie!

[@Hexen_Wulf]

"As a kind of hip Satan that solves crimes." Did they predict Lucifer?

[@auritone]

Yup 😊

[@whiteknightcat]

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT attempt to drink a beverage while watching this.

[@Tiggeralt]

This was one of the first MST3K episodes I'd ever seen. For some reason, the gag that stuck with me was the one about CARNATION ICE CREAM.

[@diddymouse]

Tom: "Nice door, I'd like to see it crumpled up next to me bed. Oh wait..." LOL!

[@aaronjwilson84]

Tom Servo is very musical. I've noticed that in a lot of the episodes.

[@PerfectKirby]

"I just wanna ask you while we're away from the others: do ya think we're weird at all?"

[@Pimp-Master]

"oh this is VERY 70's. I bet Anthony Zerbe is in it."

[@WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

"Maybe the dagblagat thing is over yonder" :)

[@itsthebrew93]

"Pay attention to the word of god" "For he loves you and he may KILL you if you don't" ROTFLOL

[@theoldar]

I'm not going back Jim."

[@thedarkdebster]

This is where the fish lives...lol its sad how much I still use that line years later

[@jonathanwashington6083]

The Dark "Stop it!"

[@BasqueNYC]

And then he died" I laughed so hard my face almost fell off lol,there is another scene where they go to the store and the cashier is sayin to some customers "2,3.." than mike says "and get this 4" haha.

[@SneakySableye]

"Nope, I'm still at large."

[@sleepyeyedplumber]

Satan-centric movies always creep me the hell out, especially this one and how it ends, but MST still made this a pretty darn funny episode.

[@DaolunofShiji]

Why-Why Andy! I think there was a DEMON in the CAR!

[@davidturbo8566]

This cups glued to my lip 😂

[@KungFuRascals3]

The 3 lines that crack me up no matter how many times I hear them- "Why won't you lay an eggs?" "Hello pile of dung!" "Get of the road Mangoat!" LOL!

[@Alboalt]

"Like what I'm doing to your car"

[@theblackrosedaughter]

" The American Gothic people take revenge!" >:D bwahahahahaha xD

[@ThaShyGuy84]

“I’ll prepare the sewing room.” “THE SAWING ROOM?!”

[@ArmageddonAngel]

I've said zah in better places than this

[@nupinoop296]

"I'm not going back, Jim!" Star Trek and MST3K for the world!! :D

[@J3MOdh3NOWX3S]

The screwtape and wormwood references lol. You really have to be well versed in a lot areas to get all the jokes.. Screwtape letters is a great book btw about a demon..

[@Brillemeister]

Someday I'll make it to where the fish live....someday

[@cradd2405]

You missed in the barn, (sound effect like a meow)... Old farmer: "Is that you, Robert?" Mike: "Robert..... the cat." Crow: Must be playing with Andrew..... the dog."

[@sarahwidhalm4300]

There’s been a walnut uprising.

[@SantaDog81]

I don't need to *take* my fruit snack, but I will because I want to... Fromicidal maniac? Is that correct? I need to check my dictionotamy...

[@BasqueNYC]

(singing) "come sit with me,and Satan too,he's your friend and mine" hahaha they ripped this movie apart another fav of mine is "the Beatniks" classic MST3K

[@FrenchPaul1988]

The "go Packers" comment was here only because one of the guys in the mob was also in Giant Spider Invasion. Nice little touch there.

[@i.m.strandedinsonoma7170]

_Nice little touch there._ A little *touch* of Satan?

[@jengasias]

Also. "I was locked in the tanning both for a whole decade"

[@KungFuRascals3]

"Get off the road ManGoat!!" "Why won't you lay any eggs!?" The 2 lines that always crack me up no matter what! LOL!

[@Metallibasher91]

This is my favorite episode of mst3k! ^^

[@rosearow]

Think the only seriously good quotes that weren't in this were "I sure love the yelling channel" and "You been hittin' the BOOZE again". (To be fair, the latter is often repeated in other eps, but this one cracks me up.) Excellent job!

[@BasqueNYC]

He passed over the scene where they go home and they say "good nite fish" and crow goes in underwater old man voice "goodnight kids"

[@aejss4]

Thanks for this! Any 'favorite moments' or 'best of' for an MST3K is always challenging, so many good riffs to choose from.

[@RIPSGT]

1:59 - 2:12 The hardest I ever laughed in all the episodes.

[@CertifiedGooner729]

"There's been a wall nut uprising."

[@ParisDiramio]

Their's been a walnut uprising! LMAO

[@STho205]

I had the same Maverick as my first car. Same colors. It did have, A Touch of Satan. or maybe just rust in the gas tank.

[@givinluv]

Hip Satan who solves crimes... never gets old.

[@Oodus]

"Is he getting his shoes on? Yes... yes... he got 'em on! I'm so glad they showed that."

[@Youvegotacrumb]

This is where the fish liveS.

[@BryonYoungblood]

As I said, Auritone, it's some good ones you had here. One I woulda loved to hear is this; Mike: OK, Crow, I'm puttin' you on Clu Gulager alert! Crow: I'm on it, Mike! I live for this job!

[@i.m.strandedinsonoma7170]

*auritone* (This movie features...a walnut-farm) I beg to differ. This movie features a walnut RANCH! As in _"How many head a' walnut do ya have?"_

[@yohei72]

Actually, the "Amazing Grace" bit on the soundtrack was kinda genius.

[@gingermist21]

Buy canned peaches and dish washing liquid. LOL

[@JamesOhGoodie]

"With Screwtape on kettle drum! Wormwood on harpsichord!" C.S. Lewis reference, nice!

[@Adamgontierfan19]

Crow (as Lucinda): Where's my bike I reported it stolen 80 years ago I meant to ask him in for pie I don't know what happened

[@stephyalysse]

hehe, awesome job on the video, and I LOVE your description lol. It's perfect!

[@robertmcginty4146]

Look at that smoke! Everyone must be burning their grandmas today. Thank for not showing the jump scare of the old lady leaning into the car. Almost wet myself when I saw that the first time.

[@kylestubbs8867]

3:37 After Stephen Colbert’s “an almond doesn’t lactate” joke, that gets even funnier.

[@JPofCT]

You missed "Did a plucked turkey in a wig just talk to me?"

[@Nickel_The_Wise]

*_There's been a walnut uprising.._*

[@moVwatchr67]

"Caleb, what kinda charcoal did you use?"

[@idkmybffjv]

I can't believe you left out "Stop it."

[@kev747]

"This is where my tounge lives" lmao

[@alucard72]

BO BO needs another tick bath, thanx Beez.

[@Crazy56U]

6:06 and 8:20: The Amazing Grace jokes.

[@brianfuller7691]

One of my favorite MST3K episodes. This movies is one of the middling films, both watchable and forgettable. But love for Santa Ynez, Ca. Truly like much 70s low budget cinema. Wooden acting rocks, Emby Mellay

[@Gunwitch666]

"That's not a name, it's a bad 'Scrabble' hand!" 🤣

[@jackattack17]

5:11 - 5:16 "AH Its a hideous thing made of Skin!! Oh its just me!" That line gets me everytime

[@Anynom]

Geez, they really got their money's worth out of Amazing Grace.

[@jesseredwards]

This is one of the funniest movies they did IMO.
