The Touch of Satan: #23 on my 'MST3K Funniest Episodes' playlist

Narrated by I.P. Freely. "Softens your hands while you do the dishes."

[@calypsokiosko9067]

"I sure hope he said peanuts."

[@jonathanbethards3689]

the strange urge to drown myself in *CARNATION ICE CREAM* just came over me..

[@brianoneil9662]

"Wow. Grandma used to work for the LAPD..." So deadpan it almost slips past unnoticed

[@johnparrott4689]

I know this town well! The ‘Carnation’ market is still around - a restaurant now. Ironically very pricey real estate these days. Santa Ynez, CA

[@Nickel_The_Wise]

This movie was oddly kind of enjoyable on it's own, awesome made-for-TV intro theme! All it was really missing was Tony Musante as a kind of hip Satan that solves crimes.

[@typacsk]

Ah, the Yelling Channel. Takes me back to visiting family over the holidays.

[@tamaramanheim8831]

"I just wanna see if he gets his shoes on...ye...yes...great, glad they showed that to us."Out of all of the great lines in this movie, this always makes me fall over laughing the most.

[@wileyschmitt]

There's a similar line from one of the Rifftrax episodes that I've edited, Bill gets really stoked that the guy returns to write something down and that one always gets a laugh out of me.

[@gymbaby3]

18:50 - 19:10… just assume he’s wearing the shoes from now on 😂

[@dragonkeeper19600]

Bit of trivia here: The speech that Satan gives to Melissa and Jodie ("I am friend and companion to the night. I rejoice in spilled blood and the baying of dogs," etc.) is lifted almost word for word from the H.P. Lovecraft short story " Horror at Red Hook." Lovecraft himself got the quotation from Hippolytus' *Refutation of all Heresies.* Hippolytus, a Christian writer, was describing the supposed rituals involved in worship of Hecate, the three-headed goddess of the underworld. "Gorgo," "Mormo," and "Luna," were the names of her three heads. ("I am Gorgo and Mormo and the thousand-faced moon.") I just thought that was interesting. Those words sounded way too cool to have originated with this movie.

[@wileyschmitt]

Cool, thanx for the information. I was just reading a Lovecraft story a few nights ago for Halloween.

[@calypsokiosko9067]

That would explain all the long pauses and dumb things we're supposed to take seriously as "horror."

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for including the Gymboree joke!!! I've seen 3 different "Best of..." of this episode & they all left out this joke.

[@wileyschmitt]

It's a funny joke, plus the way Mike says it makes it priceless.

[@sheltonbrightjr.5988]

You nailed it!! Thanks again & keep 'em coming!!

Thanks for these, dude. They're great

[@wileyschmitt]

Thanx that means a lot and is much appreciated. I enjoy rewatching them from time to time and hope to eventually have at least 30 of the funniest episodes on the playlist.

[@RyanBellRyanofWeird]

The part at the end when the credits went back a few seconds - "AHH, Satan!!" That made me laugh unexpectedly.

[@charleslaughton8092]

Excellent editing!

[@wileyschmitt]

Thanx, much appreciated.

[@DrThunder88]

This movie was one of the MST3K oeuvre that, had it been in the hands of more competent filmmakers, could have been really good. There are even a few really good moments that were genuinely brilliant and not accidentally so. As it is, however, it's great snark bait.

[@renaesmith7494]

A guy falls in love with a misunderstood witch? It's a good idea. The film was sort of misfire.

[@wileyschmitt]

Yeah but 'The Fish' totally deserves an Oscar for his cameo.

[@typacsk]

I've got to wonder if this was an attempt to capitalize on the "Bewitched" TV show, but with a darker, "mature" plot

[@mixmastermurphy]

TALK QUICKER!

[@drumr72]

I can tell you guys this..was lucky to get 4th row tickets to see Paul McCartney at the Glendale, AZ arena back in 2004 or so. David Spade was right in front of me in the 3rd row and the most beautiful blonde lady tapped him on the shoulder and asked him something and Spade totally dissed her. I couldn't believe it. I would have killed my sister for that lady if she would have asked! Kidding of course, but you get my drift. Spade was truly rude to her and a complete asshole IMHO. PS, if wondering, Spade was alone and not with a date. Just some true tales from the field all. I know others out here in Phx who went to school with David Spade and say he is a cool dude. So who knows?

[@AshenDruid]

I think the director was trying to go for the same vibe as the original Wicker Man and failed

[@killeing]

its amazing when it comes down to it- you can make money just by commenting during a movie like this, it was genius XP you get to do basically nothing and get paid for it XD

[@wileyschmitt]

What's even more amazing is that no one else does it or is any good at it, and that the original guys (Mike, Joel, Kevin, Trace, and Bill) will likely always be the best at it. In my opinion Mike is possibly the funniest person on the planet, and he's perfect for riffing (plus he did a bulk of the writing for the show).
