"Beatniks, Man I love those guys, I'm going to grow out my troll patch.......against the establishment"
Tom Servo: everything he touched, he destroyed. We'll be right back.
If these guys are beatniks, then my mom is a beatnik! And she's...not.
Joel - "She lives in a library?"
Crow - "I'd like to check out a girl, please."
Crow - "Oh, is the great Martha Wentworth going to be in this film?"
Tom - "Oh, is the great Crow going to do that joke in every movie?"
'Hey look, uh... get in touch with Morrissey and ...' tell him to stop cryin.
"Go down to Mexico and be bandidos!" And then we can ride Yoshi to the Mushroom Kingdom!
Another alcohol-free party ends in shame. This little play has been brought to you by the Booze Council, reminding you to always stock up on alcoholic beverages for all your social occasions.
Because Booze...really satisfies. Booze takes a dull party and makes it better! Booze makes you popular and heals all wounds! B..double-O..Z..E = Booze!
I've known you for well over an hour, Eddie, and I think you're wonderful.
"Eddie it looks like you're an overnight sensation!" -And it hasn't even been overnight!
"...about how the big bad boys made you do things and how you didn't want to do those things" Oh, scientology.

Directed by Paul Frees who did the voice characters on the Rankin/bass stop-motion animated TV specials at xmas time.
When Joel stands up and does his "move"...one of most hilarious moments ever.

Is that a microphone I spy at about 1hr 48 sec, in the top center of the screen, and again at 1hr 6min??
Love wears a mask! A tight leather mask!

I like that meet George Jetson by Servo.I want that as a ringtone
The Sqaures should be the title of this movie.
I KILLED THAT FAT BARKEEP!!!!
Love Tom quoting Tom Waits at the beginning, God this show is wonderful!
I had Servo singing "Meet George Jetson!" from this as my text tone on my old phone. Sadly, it won't transfer to my new one :(
I got schooled on what a true Beatnik is in this episode - it's what the movie characters are not!
"Toasts are to be drunk at marriages and weddings." Couldn't have said it better myself. ;)
Y'know, it just dawned on me that if this movie and The Rebel Set switched titles, they'd both make a lot more sense ;)

So let's take a look at our "Beatniks":
We've got our "leader": Eddy, a galactically bland lounge singer.
His lobotomized, emotionally abused squeeze toy, Iris.
Moony, a twitchy sociopath who's the closest thing this film has to an interesting character.
And two more characters (if you can remember their names, God help you):
Eddy's identical twin who was given a leather jacket and sideburns instead of a personality or dialogue...
And a middle-aged, balding lesbian who's only there to get shot and provide a plotline for the third act.

Gotta love how the guy gets discovered by singing somewhere between two and three notes strung together in the form of a hackneyed and meandering song. He's got all the musical talent of somebody who isn't tone deaf, and not an iota more.
I can't quite remember the first episode of MST3K I watched, because I watched them very sporadically with my step-dad back in middle school. I think it was probably one of the Gamera films, really tough to say which one.
However once hooked, I recorded this episode on VHS to watch at my dad's house (he didn't get Comedy Channel back then). So I watched and re-watched this episode so many times, because it was my only piece of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Kind of like a little security blanket of laughter and craziness to get me through until I could start buying the Rhino VHS releases.
RIP- Peter Breck

Unless I'm mistaken, this is Mary Jo Pehl's first outing as Magic Voice (previously played by Alex Carr).
I always knew my dad was a juvenile delinquent
