Tommy Kirk ... WHY... MUST SPOCK... DIE?!

The Cascades perform "There's a New World," written by Ray Davies from the Kinks.

There's something extra-painful about a comedy that needs commentary from a third party to be legitimately funny.

Is that one of the gals from "Village of the Giants" dancing with Fingers O'toole? at 1:29:43.

DON'T LOOK AT ME
I SAID NEVER LOOK AT ME

♫She wore...

Am.I crazy or have they said "the kids these days with their hula hoops and fax machines" riff in another episode?

This film's talent budget: Little Richard 97%, Tommy Kirk 2%, everyone else 1%.

So...Bob Denver was otherwise occupied and couldn't play Fingers O'Toole?

TVZion also has episodes of MST3K. Catalina Caper: https://www2.tvzion.com/watch-mystery-science-theater-3000-season-2-episode-4-s02e04-online3-free-v1-1952

"My Creepy Girl" has to be my favorite musical number in classic MST3K.

Can you make out what Tom is saying during the 60s host segment? (Starting around the 25 minute mark.) He's whispering under Joel, and I can't hear him clearly enough. I heard "sex" and "drugs" but the next few are unintelligible. Until we get back to "sex" then "Mustangs." Can't hear his comment about the White House. Then "free love" and "subliminal messages." (Joel refers to subliminal messages in the middle of his list of things that were pervasive in the 60s at the beginning of the segment. Noticing Tom say it is what got me to try to listen to the rest of what he's saying.) Then there are a bunch of yeahs and wows. Then "I am the walrus." I can't make out the next few. Crow gets in "tie dye shirts." I think I missed a few others. Any idea?

So why is everyone awestruck by creepy girl? I love the Servo riffs but i'm talking about the guys in the film. She is nice looking but so is EVERY other girl in the movie! and to disrespect the four girls who are with you to loudly ogle a fifth seems just.... too lame for words.

To finally answer that vexing question about Creepy Girl's ethnicity, Ulla Strömstedt (1939-1986) was Swedish. Who'da thunk it?

It's the 'Plot Hole' that's as Big as a Whale ... but it did give us Creepy Girl.

how did I not notice dr.forester eating frank's eye the first time I saw this???

Was Little Richard REALLY the only black person in this flick? And he was killed off-screen within the first 20 minutes...go figure!

this is the spookiest movie I've ever seen about white people...

The link only seems to have half the episode :0(

Watching the Tupperware host segment, and I'm thinking, "Boy, I could really go for one of those sandwiches there." Then I realize that they're over 20 years old. Probably not a good idea to eat 'em.

Two or three more rehearsals, and Joel's rant about the 60s would be an all-time classic.

You can see a seam open where the theater seat cutout didn't get moved right all the way all through the movie, I wonder if they just didn't catch it in post.

Frank's first "Frank sound!" a-YUGK-a-YEE!!

hi from Ireland every one!

[Evil Guy] "I'll need 3 expert divers...... ", lets see they only have 2 people diving in their next scene..

1:06:55 Who let Gail the Snail up on stage?!?

Hey, during the Tupperware bit at 1:16:40 is that SPACOM Frank dumps on Dr. Forester?

Wow. Little Richard is not the ONLY black guy in the movie. 14:39 Lower Right part of the screen. Sitting facing 1/4 stage right. A BLACK GUY... on screen for an entire 10 seconds. No lines, but still...

At 30:26 the son and father shake hands during introductions!

The guy from Arizona is surprised by the amount of skin the girls are showing in California? Have you been to AZ in the summer? It is so warm the hot girls wear LESS than bikinis. Specially around ASU.

Everyone believed everything the President said -- why shouldn't they?

Normandy tank tops for shelling !

creepy Girl died at the age of 46 in 1986. What did she die of? I've looked all over the Internet and can't find a thing.

Teen "boy" with a back of the neck fat roll at 53:53

OK, I don't get it. They found 100+ beautiful girls for this film but couldn't find ONE good looking man to play the part of Charlie who is supposed to be such a chick magnet? Instead, they cast a goofy, pink, puffy-eyed Creepy Guy with a missing tooth and plastic Ken hair in the role...sheesh.

Little Richard's wig is the only hair that moves while they're at sea, everyone else's hair helmet stays in place.

Crow looks like a praying mantis in that opening segment.

I hope that I never will see
A sight sadder than bad comedy.
Little Richard's a guest,
And he gives it his best,
But I'm still as bored as I can be.

53:20 ... Are you coming Don or not? "Almost."

Crayola hat guy vs creepy girl
death match

Joel, it's "take a long walk off a short pier" hahaha...

1:12:00 There's a serious design flaw with that umbrella.

I couldn't take the whole film. This led to epic tv like the Love Boat, which should have filled in for the real Titanic. Whoever is still living from the cast is presently smearing their name on the nursing home wall with their own excrement. Just sayin'.

Where is the intro-cartoon from? It reminds me of a children's alphabet book I had when I was young. My parents knew the guy who made it. Maybe the same person?

I have a sneaky suspicion that 9 year old Joel DID go to Woodstock.

Is it strange that out of all the women in this movie, I'd like to sleep with the mom the most?

Link 2 has better sound quality.

I'm sure I saw a Drew Carey pre-cursor in this film.

This film is so white it's given me snow blindness.

Movie: "Let me breathe a little bit! I've been driving all night!"
Me: "♫ My hand's wet on the wheel... ♫"

I was looking up the Carol Conners song in the movie ('The Book of Love') and found this excerpt from a surfing movie book (which I afterwards bought). They talked to the cinematographer on the film and, low and behold, he did three other MST3K films as well! Anyways ... I kind of like this movie, especially the way it looks, so give the portion a read:

http://books.google.com/books?id=eBvMFuHle2kC&pg=RA1-PT116&lpg=RA1-PT116&dq=carol+connors+book+of+love&source=bl&ots=dwDnzr9_cf&sig=BkpYw7gTqI3X-dVRTqz36Z8bPPs&hl=en&sa=X&ei=EAtCU_u1B8K0ygHg6YGwBA&ved=0CFYQ6AEwCw#v=onepage&q=carol%20connors%20book%20of%20love&f=false

the dancing in this vid makes me laugh

Anybody else love it when Joel says "Say..."

Joel rips off Crow's arms at 1:15:00. Good thing they established this doesn't effect him because I know they some times fall off during the movie scenes. lol

Oh my god, Crow and Servo are so adorable in their jammies!

favorite line from the movie = "May I retie your pants"

Oh wow, I just noticed that Joel is wearing black chucks in the opening sequence - rock on!!

18:41 ..." those dancers are dancing on dumpsters, would that make them white trash? ", ha!

Fun fact: the bazooka was originally the name of a musical instrument built by Bob Burns during WWI (if I remember correctly), so Joel isn't taking something evil and making it fun with the tickle-bazooka, he's just taking it back to its fun origins. :)

"bright young singer hopped up on goofballs" slays me

"i'm gonna put this in a frame that fits"

God, this movie is depressing.

"'C' is for that feeling of uncertainty"?

I woke up singing "Creepy Girl" today...
I think I've OD'd on Msty's

This ep is classic, and it's such a tragedy that it was pretty much a "lost episode" for most of MST's life on CC. Plus Creepy Girl is one of the best MST songs and one of the most all-around adorable host segments.

Ram Chips - Good things: Catalina Island and Tom Servo kissing Creepy Girl when she gets within range (15:39). Bad thing: the underwater band (1:13.58).

"My Creepy Girl" is seriously one of my very favorite songs in the entirety of MST3K. Actually, the whole segment with Tom mooning over Creepy Girl, with Joel and Crow slow-dancing upstage is just pure joy. <3

So... much... bronzer... and... fake tans... can't... go on...

Watch for Ted Mikels in the opening credits as part of the crew. If you don't remember the name, think The Girl in Gold Boots from season 10.

Twiki had a Dorothy Hamill haircut.

I'll never forget showing this episode to my boyfriend (it was only a few months ago) and him being so genuinely shocked at how mediocre and pointless this movie is.

The point of using the plastic bag to keep the gun dry is A: it's portable, taking up almost no space in your kit. and B: it gives you easy access in a pinch, you can even shoot through it.

I tell you I could have taken anything this movie had: the mind numbing plot, pratfall mania, the suicide-inducing Vaudeville act of Mr. Duval and Lawrence, the unwatchable lip syncing by the unlistenable band, even Lyle Waggoner walking around the beach in street shoes! I could have taken it all with a smile on my face and song on my lips for just ONE of those angry pouty jealous looks my way by Charlie’s super boss sister Tina! She is Cat-Cat-Catalina Craaazy Gone Man!

I just really like the idea of robots praying to God, I don't know why I find that so funny.

Huh, I understood every single robot reference they made in the opening segment.

Another missed Star Trek opportunity in this one. Just as they didn't notice that JC in Sidehackers was Korax from The Trouble With Tribbles, Tad in this movie (Dan Duryea's son) was Lt. Jose Tyler, the Navigator from the first Star Trek pilot. On the other hand, even if they had noticed it, no real character was developed for him in Trek that could have been riffed on.

Is anybody else familiar with that madcap delight of a movie that featured Catalina Island called The Glass Bottom Boat(1966)? It's opening credits/cartoon resembles the one for Catalina Caper (1967) and I bet it was copied.

The girl singer's really cute...

At 45:00, Servo proves he has chops! Barry Gibb called, he wants falsetto lessons, Tommy!

29:10 Aquaman has never looked so good.

00:24:25 - Oh, Joel. <3

Wow..they just made a reference to "Zoom" How long did that show run?

MTV Spring Break 1966 lol

Heeeey! I went to Catalina last year and it wasn't nearly this groovy!

Uh, Carol? Uh, Carol? Uh, Carol?
We have a "proper" love.
I got your cane, Mr. Lu-thor.

So, my friend hired me recently to sing a love song to his girlfriend. I know, awkward situation, but my friend (the guy with a girlfriend) really has no singing voice whatsoever. He didn't specify a song, just said it had to be romantic, and that a bit of silliness is always nice. What song did I pick? That's right, I sang Creepy Girl to her. Keep in mind, they are both very good friends of mine. But... I sang it in front of both their families. I'm afraid that this song has set up a Romeo and Juliet style conflict between their families..... For the record, she loved it.

'How's your little fish?' Oh You! *puts hands on hips*

Anyone else find it funny the gay stars have more chemistry with the ladies in all these riffed movies than the ones that should be attracted to them? Tommy Kirk & creepy girl over the sweeping love story that is Space Munity! And those two are married... Or does that explain things

"The P is definitely NOT for platonic!"

Scrolls and fish and tinker-toys and wine..
Servo knows what the ladies like.

MY--ha-ha-HA-HIIIGH Creepy GIRL, my CREEPY Giiiirl!

01:21:20 Crow says "These kids today with their loud music and their hula hoops" - where is this from?? I know they use in the movie BASEketball, but that movie came out in like '98.

"...oh, did I mention that there were drugs at that time?"

Tom Servo is cuteness on toast! :)

This movie is like "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World," only completely devoid of any talent.

A lot of great riffs in this one. The Little Richard sequence still makes me howl.

How sweet! MST3K brings couples together!

I think they sent the wrong people to Vietnam! Great line. And thank you, Mr. bass player for playing only Bb through the entire song.

One of my favorite episodes. So goofy, funny, and bad for all the right reasons.
