Electric shock cause a movie to colorize towards the end of the movie so Ted Turner
Didn't have to be KTLA to see that Zager and Evans bit coming.
I'm just glad Glen kept the mental capacity to keep his shorts on.
The sound gag at 22:26 almost killed me.
Does this man look at all familiar?

Let us all pray to our various gads that there is about 7 minutes missing from this version of Mr. B.
When I was in Junior-High we mercilessly beat the living hell out of band kids.
This short makes me nostalgic.
Sad that this was Betty Luster's last performance. And by that I mean that her last performance was THIS, not that her performing ended.
Yessiree, that Mr. B is a real pip! Anyway, as I was saying, Mr. Swanson had a helluva of time with the insurance company over that dark green stake bed truck. Seems his policy only covered theft and destruction by giant mutants up to 50 feet tall and Glenn is 60 feet tall. Then his gun club went bust. The members found his ending every sentence with, “Get the picture?” quite off putting. Miguel did recover from his shock, but later got caught up in some ill conceived scheme to run barbiturate laced bread over the border with a Guavos police sergeant. On the bright side KTLA is still alive and well and broadcasting quality CW programming from its transmitter atop lovely Mount Wilson!
Kind of a dark ending for a 1958 movie actually.
Mr. B Natural gets my vote for the greatest MST3K short EVER!!! SO creepy and demented even without the riffs.
I like Glenn, he seems nice.
Mr. B Natural's easily the best MST3k short.

Seriously though. After watching "Mr. B Natural" I went around the house and smashed anything that could even remotely make some kind of musical sound!

Which kids are the popular ones in Mr. B Natural? They ALL seem like a buncha squares. No wonder they had to show sex ed films to kids back then, those kids couldn't have reproduced with a step by step guide.

I agree it's a classic episode, but Mr B Natural still makes me want to pluck out my own eyes.
Absolutely, I can laugh at this one over and over. "That's nice,,,MOM!"

Mike Nelson looked good without his shirt.
I truly believe that Servo was out of character, and was really talking to us when he apologized to the audience for the short!

The short is one of the best--but the movie is hilarious too. Mike Nelson as Glenn--and Joel's obsession with KTLA...

In "The Amazing Colossal Man", it's clear that the title character is Glenn. However, is he the "colossal beast" referred to in the title? Maybe... Or maybe it's the "colossal" war-hungry giant of defense spending! That's right! This unyielding "beast" takes over a central transportation hub, drains the Red Cross of its precious bank of 60-ft.-tall-man-blood, and blows electrical circuits in an effort to have a crazy spotlight rave down by the planetarium. And what is this "war" that the "colossal beast" of the military-industrial complex? VIETNAM! Eat it Spielberg! Just take a look at the setting: Guavos, Mexico... Or is "Guavos" really just Sovaug, Vietnam BACKWARDS! I see it, man! I see it all, man!
Mr B natural's voice is right up there with Kathy Irelands in alien from LA. That one detectives voice from Zombie Nightmare is pretty bad too.

Why in the Burning Hells is it Mr b natural, when it's clearly a woman?
I'm putting this episode in my favorites list just on the strength of the short alone.

Haha basically all the riffs here are from the short, not the movie.
MR B NATURAL!!! Watching that short is a must for all Mysties. Oh, and the movie's ok too.
