"Sir, I'm losing him!"
"Well, maybe you should have been more sensitive to his needs."
You'll just have to make do with Uncle Bob and Uncle Jim and Uncle Phil and Uncle Roy and Uncle Tim and--
Whenever I go out, the people always shout, "THERE GOES JOHN JACOB JINGLEHEIMER SCHMIDT!" la-la-la, la-la-la-la--(all laugh) Ahh, that was fun. Thanks, Carl.
"Huh. Lemme' see here: 'Rumpletweezer the Good Fairy lived under the Dum Dum Tree down'-- What?!"
"Dear Diary, Well, you won't believe who waltzed back into my life today!..."
"...a world of fairy make-believe!"
"Yeah, as long as you dropped before you came to the show."
"Uh, I'd like a Sloe Gin Circus."
"I'd like my Circus straight up!"
"Now you can have both!"
Uh Doctor I... Uh Doctor could you just look at this slide... Doctor about the polio vaccine, Doctor Salk... Oh Doctor I think I found it... Doctor if you'd just ohh... Doctor Salk please it's ah it's definitely the polio vaccine... Oh forget it I'll take credit for it.
What do you think brought him out here? "Great selection? Low prices?"

Suddenly, mitosis takes place! The DNA strand separates in a dazzling display of color.

I don't know what to say, Steve. I didn't know you felt this way.

Un-shaven, stinky, AND boozed up on Rumple Mintze the hunters spray bullets into the woods.

Hey, this is like "It Happened One Night", except... it makes me want to kill myself!
It might have been nice to show that scene with the monster, but use your imagination -- it was true horror!
There, your announcer feels vindicated! This is extremely horrible!
As I mentioned, there is tremendous horror out here... somewhere.
Stop it! Stop it!! Stop it!!! STOP IT!!! STOP IT!!!! ...thank you.
A pensive Jack Kerouac pulls on a "J" in the middle of the room...
"There is one terrifying word in the world of nuclear physics."
"Oops."
"Sir I'm losing him!"
"Well maybe you should've been more sensitive to his needs!"
"A volley of shots bravely disintegrates the dragon." Bravely? The thing was grazing!
It would have been nice to show that scene with the monster, but use your imagination- it was true horror.
"These two girls they're quite a pair; they both come from your worst nightmare. They will haunt your soul forever, and now when you see pink you gotta think 'we're doomed'... "

I love Tom Servo doing the voice-over guy "As you can see, there is tremendous horror out here...somewhere!"
1:00:19 Servo (using a killer Droopy The Dog voice): "I was just trying to help."

Sorry, Joel, but my mum's older than you and she swears up and down that Timothy was a mule.

Joel has a soda! HAHAHAHAHA!
Jesus, that car the woman with the empty gas tank has is massive...
"There was no monster" - then what was that tall guy with the bad skin doing throughout the movie? WORST ENDING EVER! Seriously...this movie rivals "Beast of Yucca Flats" as worst movie ever made.
I need help with this one. The scene where the truck driver helped the woman, who gave him a kiss as "thanks" - what the hell did that have to do with this movie? Was that edited in as "filler" from some completely different, totally unrelated movie? I kept waiting for the monster to come.

1:02:15..The lazy-fart phone sound gets me every time, and I don't know why XD
"Unbelievable."
"Yeah, the digestive tract's as exciting as the Amazon Jungle! There's danger! Adventure! And half-digested food around every curve!"
[sigh] It's probably too late for me to change my online name to "Woodscrew Tapeworm."

I get the feeling the director went out for a “liquid lunch” everyday and sent back a slightly less drunk hobo to finish up for him.
Crow runs Unix!!! If that's not reason enough to absolutely *love* him, I don't know what is!

Is this a student film? If it wasn't for the smt3k this movie would never see the light of day

I love the Johnny Longtorso bit. "The sleek and sexy butt portion!". Love it! I saw this episode when I was a kid, and during this sketch I remember thinking 'Of course there's only one of each arm and leg in stock. I imagined going to Toys R Us and being disappointed when I failed for the umpteenth time to find a left leg or the 'Action Batch". Talk about evil!
Herschell "The Godfather of Gore" Gordon Lewis directed the second half of this movie. I think a good eye gouging or heart ripping might have actually improved this piece of fecal matter.
"I am just an assistant in this laboratory!" We know that, it's the 60's and you're a woman.
Is it just me or does the monster remind anyone else of the Traveler from Star trek TNG?
I like how the narrator says "Real circus" as if acknowledging that this is something less.
"oh what a lucky man he was....dooooooweeee doooooweeee"
and
"Time keep on slipping slipping....."

I happen to be propelling the ball with my hover-skirt, thank you very much.

What's the tune that Crow hums around 0:25:30?
Seriously, both the "Ro-man" and the Bloodbeast have got to be MAD jealous of the reverb in this movie!
This one starts slowly, but the "bad news about Frank" scene at 22:32 nearly had me in tears. So many riffs! So fast! So furious! So funny!
take the kazoo out of your mouth!
"this is like 'Vanity Fair' by Sam Pekenpaugh"
"CROW, I DON'T GET YOU..." (Best skit!)
Monster-A-Go-Go-A-WAY!

So from what I've read, Rebane finished this film in 1961, but couldn't afford to release it, so Herschel Gordon Lewis bought it. Lewis decided to add some new scenes, but it was 4 years later, and he couldn't get all the origiinal actors. So basically we end up with 2 bad movies spliced together to form one horrible movie.
Is it just me, or does the narrator in the short sound a helluva lot like Trace?

saw monster go go on tv mid-60s, FREAKED me out then!!
2 replies
I don't think any other short just sets them up over and over again quite like Circus on Ice...
Definitely one of the worst movies they've done, but the top-rate riffing keeps me coming back to watch it. Weird...yeah, I guess that's the word for it. Weird.

The "Short".... it JUST gets raked over the coals
Note: link 1 doesn't work anymore.
The writing for the riffs was really good this episode.

"Radiation repellant"? God almighty.
"It's a flaming little sack of dog poopy called Circus on Ice."
"Hey you got your circus on my ice!"
"He you got your ICE on my CIRCUS!"
"Oh just two bad things that go together."
Did they record the audio in this film with tin cans and string? I can't understand half of what they're saying!
Even in the fifties - even in the FIFTIES - the statement 'The little bareback rider exalts in her victory over the wild beasts' must have at least raised an eyebrow? At least. C'mon...
I agree with Gypsy, the Mads' invention is really evil.

"Gypsy . . . is it an odor?"

I know I keep going around to all the videos and saying various host segments are my favorites but the one with Gypsy saying "I don't get you" to Crow (and them Tom) is definitely up there in my list.

I would totally buy SOL brand cheese. Even if it did have Joel's sneakers in it.
