Mike's attempts to wrangle the bots during the opening credits reminds me of when I have to pack up my cats to go to the vet.

For some reason I have really put off watching this one. I know it's supposed to be one of the best, and I've seen little clips of it before, but I really haven't wanted to watch it. Maybe it's because I know it's suppose to be such a rip-off of Gremlins, maybe it's because I dread the acting I'm going to see in an obvious horror film...I don't know. But tonight, I'm finally going for it.
Servo fleeing in unbridled terror after seeing Alan Dermarderosian's name gets me every time!
The hoe fight is by far one of the funniest commentaries ive ever seen xD

Boy, this sure is a bad movie, won't you?
Until I saw this episode I thought the clip they used in the theme song was Mike on a surfboard... until I got a good look at it and saw it had his face on it. I don't think you can blame me for not understanding what was going on.
I love the Fish Picker song. Seriously. It's called "Kiss Kicker 99".

I would pay real money to be able to buy a hobgoblin puppet/plush. Both because of this episode, and because I just think they're so damn cute.
The club emcee went on to be the voice of Cosmo on the Fairly Godparents...from Joel Grey to Cosmo. What a journey!

Looking at imdb it appears that something called Retromedia is marketing the original version of this movie. Apparently they know how bad it is because the cover art features a picture of a large breasted bikini bimbo who isn't even in the movie.

Bobo should have called Loveline. Wouldn't even have been their weirdest call.
At 42:46, he totally closes the door like a muppet.
1:08:40 And this is where we get our site decoration.
I knew it was going to be a bad fight scene when he said "Okay, hold onto it like this" and already he was wrong.
12:45 Billy Jack actually already has a COUPLE of cheap sequels. But they're on par with the original at least.

Okay people asked me about the hobgoblins remake like a month ago and I just today found out how to see replies lol so sorry. Rick Sloan actually submitted the original movie to MST3K himself. And the "sequel" makes refrences and in jokes to mst3k episode, plus that song the mst3k guys did "hobgoblins hobgoblins whatcha gonna do with those hobgoblins" they used a version of that song for the remake. I know you might not believe me but here is the Wikipedia page. Also you can get the movie off of the rifftrax website should you wish to see the thing. At least you used to be able to.

This is one of those rare episodes where the film's dialogue is just as funny if not funnier than the riffing. Donkey mud wrestling. Need I say more??

Sad, really. All this murder and mayhem could have been prevented by a vault door that actually locks and/or a padlock on the outer door.

There's something perversely admirable about a film that dares to not feature a single likeable character.
Lookit what we're handed here: Old Blithering Idiot lets his partner: Bland Teen Stereotype get horribly murdered by alien monsters. He then hires Annoying Whiny Douche to replace him. On his second day on the job, Annoying Whiny Douche manages to release said monsters who, despite having an entire city of victims to choose from, concentrate all of their effort on Annoying Whiny Douche's friends. There's his girlfriend: Frigid Emasculating Shrew, and his "pals": Scrawny Repugnant Whore and her boyfriend: Greasy Macho Scumbag....last and assuredly least is the 5th wheel: Effeminate Pervert Loser.
What a cast!
There is NO ONE and NOTHING to root for in this film save for the sweet release of death.

I could be alone in this, but I found the Club Scum band on Youtube...They're called The Fontanelles, and they're quite honestly not too shabby-- if you like late 80s Dark Wave/Post-Punk.

Seriously, a copyright claim by Rick Sloane? He wants to lay claim to this?

The club MC is the same guy who does Cosmo's voice on Fairly Oddparents. I feel bad for him...
So... Dennis's fantasy was to perform a rock song on a really tall stage?

I can't help but feel the old man was kind of OK with the Hobgoblins killing Kevin's predecessor.
OK, so the protagonists of this film are the kind of douchebags who stand around right in front of a doorway. Great job pushing my hatred buttons, movie.
Snazzy shades, Tom.

Oh God, that pathetic little jump at the end of the Club Scum song scene.

The 80s was the only time you could get away with street fighting with nun-chucks as your weapon of choice. And they always bring a pair for their opponent. That takes the kind of foresight you wouldn't expect from a person who goes around picking fights with nun-chucks.
The interior of "Club Scum" looks an awful lot like my elementary school cafeteria....
Those grenade chucking scenes are absolutely ridiculous. What the hell kind of grenades do that??
god i love this. just found it.
I think the 80s just threw up all over me.
I love the "Where are all the women?" segment!

Unfortunately, all the host segments were edited from this one. Still a classic worth watching, though!
