**MST3K FAN EXCLUSIVE**Opening Sequence and Theme Song "Fan Remake" In Honor of the 30 Year Anniversary. I Hope All Of You Mysties Enjoy It!
https://youtu.be/R402VTc1LjQ

Let this movie serve as a lesson to us all: if the audience can't hear what you're saying, nothing matters. Invest in a good microphone and know how to use it. ...Looking at you, most of YouTube.

Maybe this makes me a pretentious twerp, but I quite like the interpretative dance but in the short, I think it's beautiful and artful: it makes me consider looking so me acts up somewhere.

Isn't there an episode where Crow (or Tom?) is teaching the "hum dee dee dee dee hua hua" to Mike?

Wow. This is quite possibly the most pointless movie ever. Talk about your deus ex machinas.

I know, I know...everyone hates this one: Monster a Go-Go and, it's a given: I'd never be able to put up with watching the "real version" of this film, but this MST episode (#421) is one of my faves. I watch it a lot. Same goes for Manos: The Hands of Fate, The Creeping Terror, and a # of Ed Wood & Corman flicks (and Bloodbeast: awful movie but a great pick for MST. I guess, what I'm saying is that I prefer the cheesy, teeny-bopper-demographic 1950s movies over the, IMO, even worse stuff from the 70s & early-mid 80s. There are a few exceptions: the crazy, kooky Japanese, English-dubbed imports from Sandy Frank (i.e., the Gamera movies, Time of the Apes, & the 2 or 3 Godzilla vs... movies that showed up in the "K" season.

Why does Frank call Dr. F "Steve"? Isn't his name Clayton? XD

I want to just point out how brilliant Crow's part of the invention exchange is. His character is "Woodscrew Tapewporm" Now, take those words apart, reverse them, put them back together. What do you get? Why you get Screwtape and Wormwood! The two main demon characters of C.S. Lewis' book, "The Screwtape Letters."
I think this may be the single most intelligent joke in all of MST3K.

You know, it mus've been great fun to make a movie when you really had no inkling on how to actually make one.

Nobody does I'm the wind baby.

This one is a tie for me for the worst movie they've ever done. The Castle of Fu Manchu is right up there with this one.

This wasn't even close to a movie. Worst one yet!!!

Where does Circus On ice rank among the worst things to happen at Maple Leaf Gardens?

This movie is like watching a sixth grade play.

Servo called Edward de Vere a courtesan. Ouch.

62:ish - What is a 'bottle of see n skee'? or at least what it sounded like.

52:29 - Hey, that's Lenin!

Johnny Longtorso = cellphone

I gotta get me a Johnny Long Torso. Getting bored with my Mr. Hankey play set

that fake phone ring LOL

who the hell is Harry?

It's hard to make a movie that has nothing memorable. This thing almost can't hold itself together, and for a movie that has so many long bland segments of no music, no narrative and no dialogue, you would think they would at least have microphones that didn't pick up so much fuzz.

This ep wasn't funny enough to make up for the movie. Monster a go go is possibly the worst movie ever. Worse than manos, worse than anything Ed wood, worse than anything I've ever seen. Sad cuz technically it's a Herschel gordon Lewis movie and the title sounds cool.

That 1962 Pontiac used in the first part of the film reminds my of Harry Bellaver (Detective Arcaro) driving around NYC in Naked City.

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.

23:05 Crow channels the spirit of Homestar Runner...

WOW that one was bad! I had a hard time keeping my eyes open during that one! UGH!

1:14:49 So long child, I'm on my way...

Is Joel really left handed, or is he just being a good thespian and throwing the ball with his upstage arm?

"Man, if you can't out-act a post...". One of my all time, top-ten, desert-island favorite riffs.

Oh brother like a Zippo lighter without any flint.......

This is the only episode I've ever seen in which Joel consumes something in the theater. He's got a canned beverage in this one! o__o

35:35 "Hey, you put your cigarette out in my black cow!" You put your black cow out in MY cigarette!

22:38 They come in as they're ringing the doorbell, AND THEY DON'T EVEN CLOSE THE DOOR!

Is it just me, or does the narrator in the short sound a helluva lot like Trace?

Were all the lines re-recorded through a megaphone on the far end of St. Paul's Cathedral?

That short is pretty dark. Seriously, a portion of the ice circus is dedicated to hunting and killing a deer?

"Boudoir Boogie"? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

12:03 Bambi's Mom?!

It could be much worse; at least it's not Family Circus On Ice.

Are toy stores even allowed to sell Action Batches anymore?

They tried to be M Night Shyamalan before M Night Shyamalan. The monster was an illusion the whole time! (dun dun dun)

They seem to have paired up the most riffable short and best host sections of the season with the most boring cop-out movie, to balance things out.
The only way I can remember this episode, is to remind myself that this was the movie that never happened...

"Radiation repellant"? God almighty.

Wait, who DOESN'T panic while making sandwiches?!

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

"oh what a lucky man he was....dooooooweeee doooooweeee"
and
"Time keep on slipping slipping....."

I just realized it again, while watching this episode... When they're in the theater, you can never *really* tell whether the Bots are looking at the screen..... or you. Especially Crow.

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...

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

I can't get my mind off of the way forester says accessories during the action figure segment.

For all the brilliant riffing in this episode, my favorite line may just be the suave way Tom says "Jacqueline" when the French figure skater comes out.

I agree with Gypsy, the Mads' invention is really evil.

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!

"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.

"The puzzled men of courage, who suddenly found themselves alone with shadows and darkness." Oh, Joel, Tom, and Crow! You brave, brave men!

Servo's song about the Pink Nightmares is easily my fave part of the short.

Tom, I don't get you.
Nobody does. I'm like the wind baby.

I, also, like Gypsy's good natured absent-mindedness.

...IF she had maintained accepted 1960's standards of morality...

Quick !!! Hum "Ride of the Valkyries" !!! ...Hi Steve !!!

Elvis has staggered out of the building ...

One thing I *don't* like about this episode... The nightmare clown theme...

Nice harmony guys!

I'm kinda surprised Gypsy's action figure wasn't Richard Basehart

we was too late!

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.

Third time watching this movie, I notice that the kid was picking up some rocket parts. Was he actually building a rocket, and if so, why wasn't this movie about him?

Who would have thought video game companies would take the "Johnny Long Torso" business model and apply it to their product? Horse armor? Why of course! Extra skins for guns? Why not? Content on the disc you physically bought but can't unlock until you pay more for a launch DLC? Sounds reasonable!

Wow. a Percy Dovetonsils reference at about 32:18. Impressive!

this video is not available in your country waaa :0..... :(

we've been working on big gobs of neat stuff!

Crow does the "hum da dee dee, hua hua" during one of the host segments in "The Beast of Yucca Flats". He's waiting for it to be 11:30 so he can eat lunch.

This movie has the incredible ability to evade my attention every single time.

Joel has a soda! HAHAHAHAHA!

One of those MST3K movies my brain refuses to pay attention to. Fu Manchu and that Mixed up Zombies movie, too. Grey matter repellant.

The Happy King sketch is one of my favorite of all time. I suffer through this pile willingly to get to it.

The homemade phone ringing noise at 1:02 is priceless. Joel's "unbelievable" and Tom's laugh is just hilarious

This one is just atrocious yet so funny. Should be ranked higher.

I replayed the tape that I recorded this episode on so many times that it got tangled up in my college VCR and broke it. I cried. Not because I broke the VCR, but because I lost this episode... ;-)

Oh my goodness, Monster A-Go-Go, the classic cop-out film.

"Gypsy . . . is it an odor?"

The circus on ice. Its reminiscent of the Star Wars life day special. There is an ad ''Its like Grease on roller skates'' as a selling point . Not a warning. By the way if anyone has the Bobby Vinton Grease on roller skates special ill buy it now.

That pinging noise throughout the movie is physically painful. It's rare to find a bad movie that actually hates its audience instead of merely being cruelly indifferent.

LOL at Joel's "Sir Mix-a-lot" blooper.

first time watchin this one today..one of the best episodes ive watched, and ive watched aloooot of them. :)

Man, all the good riff's have been picked clean in this movie.
I love the Gypsy segment with Crow and Servo, didn't realize how funny she can be.

Awww I know Gypsy, rampant capitalism scares me too. *hugs*

Radius of His Danger Zone. Good song title.

Lol the rocket science riff made me think of a saying we had in forestry school: "Forestry isn't rocket science. It's far more complicated." :)

Oh yeesh, of course the circus on ice is in Toronto...

Realistic action batch. I'll never be able to stop laughing.

Yup .. I definitely want to yell "BOOOOOOooooooooo!" after watching this bloody awful pile of monkey crap. A story soooo unbelievably bad it needs a friggin' narrator!!! to tell you what's going on. Bill Rebane .. you suck serious donkey balls.

Um so... did the the... ahem... 'composer' for this movie just record his cat walking across his keyboard or... what exactly happened there?

When the girls flee the monster @1:02:00, the guys miss a chance to close their girl groups joke. No, it's the Runaways. A rare miss.

OK, I need to get this off my chest. Towards the end of this turkey our heros are pitching a wingding over the fact that "Douglas's" radiation zone is becoming progressively larger and they need to find a way to track him down and disable him without exposing the searchers to the radiation risk. Well, heres an idea, why not use the RADIATION REPELLENT that you couldn't stop yaking about for the better part of this drool-fest!! Just don't overdose anyone and you won't end up with an NBA sized squad of infantrymen. Sorry, I'll stop now.
(stupid movie)

Love Tom's song during the Circus on Ice bit:
These two girls they make quite a pair
They both come from your worst nightmare
They will haunt your soul forever
And now when you see pink
You're gonna think
We're doomed

I once heard Mary Jo say this was the most difficult episode she ever had to write. I believe she and Paul Chaplin did most of the work.

This is, by far, the worst episode I have seen. I guess they only had one camera!

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.

If you partially open a purple Zippo lighter it does resemble Gypsy.

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.

As a few others have already stated, this movie was crap big time but the riffs were so splendidly written and delivered. And the host segment with Gypsy was classic. Definitely a favorite of mine.

Is it just me or does the monster remind anyone else of the Traveler from Star trek TNG?

The Chinese music torture start at 39:00 was beautifully executed! Especially with Crow screaming "Stop!". Man I definitely can watch this one again.

I love Tom Servo doing the voice-over guy "As you can see, there is tremendous horror out here...somewhere!"

~hummm dee dee dee dee- hua hua~
~hummm dee dee dee dee- hua hua~

1:00:19 Servo (using a killer Droopy The Dog voice): "I was just trying to help."

saw monster go go on tv mid-60s, FREAKED me out then!!

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

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 can't believe I'm watching this awful movie AGAIN. Thank you Joel & the bots!

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.

Crow runs Unix!!! If that's not reason enough to absolutely *love* him, I don't know what is!

The "Short".... it JUST gets raked over the coals

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

I don't think any other short just sets them up over and over again quite like Circus on Ice...

"I am just an assistant in this laboratory!" We know that, it's the 60's and you're a woman.

I like how the narrator says "Real circus" as if acknowledging that this is something less.

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!

Note: link 1 doesn't work anymore.

The writing for the riffs was really good this episode.

"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."
