"Would you like a cup of cigarette?" LOL

[@user-lb9xw4xf2q]

The creepy bee weirdo was the villain after all?! What a totally not obvious twist.

[@adamfowler5475]

"Sure they argue, but the sex is great." One of.my all-time favorite Crow lines in the whole series.

"Don't leave me, Vicky... I haven't finished killing you yet."

[@jimmywyatt8351]

The dogs meat ..have you seen it?Ah,the filthiest conversation ever! That is soooo funny.

[@robinbeckford]

Ronnie Wood was the lead guitarist in The Birds. He went on to bigger things!

[@balkthor]

Such an underrated episode. I don't know why people dump on it, this is one of my favorites.

[@wileyschmitt]

Yeah, and most people like Projected Man which is just as funny, and personally I think The Deadly Bees might 'bee' a bit better overall, (I do change some of the rankings once in a while and those two have been getting closer). Mike, Kevin, and Bill's British accents are all hilarious as well.

[@DenOfVipers]

@@wileyschmitt I think it's just a massive bummer overall. Like, it's all brown and dull orange, everyone dies, and the characters are weird garbage. That and like, nothing happens except bees. It's really just a stiff, ugly movie. Not Starfighters or Red Zone Cuba stiff, but...pretty stiff.

[@wileyschmitt]

Yeah that's all true about the movie itself, but as far as whether the MST3K episode is good or not is mostly based on the writing and delivery of the jokes (at least as far as my rankings go).

[@joshuablack8221]

balkthor They dump because they’re stuck in a loser mindset.

[@teresas8173]

This is in my top 10 … I love when they riff British films. Their British accents, etc. are hilarious 😂

[@somasubstance]

Jeez that lady from the bar was READY to help. Thirsty for it.

[@shannaroe5189]

"Old McWartface had a farm..." lolol. One of my favorite episodes.

[@Datsunofthebeach]

Did anyone notice Ron Wood playing guitar in the Birds? White shirt dark hair? That’s a future rolling stone!

[@Anynom]

The guy just strolling up at the end remains one of the best WTF moments in any MST3K movie.

[@FuckYouWhosNext]

i never noticed that! LOL weird! fooking mister Bentley WTF

[@thomasbuckley6175]

that's the guy from one of the first scenes- he's in the office (of what i can only assume is the Ministry of Bees) discussing the letter

[@daddydavey]

Set-up for the sequel? 😁

[@daddydavey]

@@Roadvirus1 😂 ha!

[@balkthor]

@@thomasbuckley6175 I love that you took the time to explore this continuity and point the character out. Bravo.

[@racheledwards2338]

This show was the shit! This particular episode was hilarious

[@GreggGagnon121010]

"Guys just skip the music and go straight to the heroine"

[@gabrielboorom9778]

"Make it a double, will you?" Alright, *now* we're in England. 😋

[@wileyschmitt]

"Andy Capp the movie."

[@buckeyeschmave]

9 a.m., why so late?

[@thedativecase9733]

As an Englishwoman this made me laugh. However pubs had very strict opening hours in England back then, it was a hangover (pun intended) from WW1 when the govt wanted the munitions workers to be sober for obvious reasons. The licensing laws brought in then were still in operation until the 1990s. Some people claim this to be the source of binge-drinking culture in the UK.

[@joshuablack8221]

02:41 “...stop the music...” “Now, that’s good advice.” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kellyweingart3692]

😂😂😂😂

[@kdohertygizbur]

Hysterical

[@dragonkeeper19600]

Hang on. Doris was able to live after "only a few stings?" You can survive multiple stings from these supposed "killer bees?" It seems like Manfred's bees are about as deadly as ordinary bees.

[@buckeyeschmave]

She had to live to be Hargrove's next trophy wife for the sequel.

[@BlackMasterRoshi]

yes but they're very cross

[@JPMadden]

MST3K can teach you history. I looked up Joe Orton, who was mentioned at 14:14. He was an English author who was murdered by his boyfriend/roommate in 1967.

[@nobody6546]

And people wonder just Where did Benny Hill get his comedy skit ideas.... Great one Folks! MST3K Rocks!

👍👍👍. Thanks WF for the viewing! (1) Of my favorite quotes from the movie? “... I think she’d have had a Better Vacation in Cambodia!...” by Growl I think!

Doris, Do I look like Lee Marvin?

[@SeanP7195]

Suzanna Leigh (Vicki but why) died two years ago. I personally think she got more attractive in her 30s and 40s. She was the God Daughter of Vivian Leigh (Gone with the Wind) and used her name in her acting career. She was also in Lost Continent (another MST riffed borefest).

[@lesstalking3007]

That part of her being attractive sure was necessary.

[@SeanP7195]

@@lesstalking3007 that’s why she was hired. Her appearance.

[@whoisdickieschnabel]

I didn't know that!! Cool info!

[@purplebec9112]

Trying to follow her Godmothers footsteps?

[@SeanP7195]

This movie is so dull they filled it with scream edits to wake up the audience. Also, why do British movies have such loud phones.

[@sirtalkalotdoolittle]

It did well at the box office thanks to word-of-mouth that there was a prolonged brassiere scene, though. Can't help with the phones.

[@kd17Burger]

She's dressed for her shift at Perkins

[@OldMovieRob]

Andy Capp the movie, lol

[@thedativecase9733]

Did they have Andy Capp in the US?

[@typacsk]

In the 90s, I only knew who he was because of a brand of chip... fry... sort of snacks

[@kd17Burger]

The songwriter shot her 😂
