I'm watching today's WIT, "City Limits," and at 30:00, they do one of my favorite gags, mimicking the drinking noises. That got me thinking, any time they do those "body function" sound effects, (eating, drinking, belching, etc.) it always gets a healthy laugh from me.
What riffs or gags do the Crew do that makes you laugh?
It's a musical forum of late. Best MST songs; the tendrils of Journey; Ann-Margaret.
THE BEST of MST3K having been addressed, and it's rich bounty of tunes forensically examined in the search for The Cream Of The Crop, I feel it's apropos to ask a question that has long gnawed at my mind...
WHY DOES THE RIFFTRAX THEME SONG SUCK SO SPECTACULARLY???
By dog it's awful.
And...Why? The genius behind those clever MST3K ditties we so adore is Mike J Nelson, and we hear his voice (nearly) every episode, and see him at the live events. We know he's there. But instead of incisive wit and a vicious tune we get an uptempo School of Fishes "3 Strange Days" hybridized with the Rembrandts' version of "I'll Be There For You" (the Friends' theme song that caused many a mass shooting), lyrics by Sammy Hagar, as if played by a Smashmouth cover band!
Which MST3K movie do you think has the thinnest plot? There are a bunch where the action is slow, or where there are long pauses. Hours of rock climbing or liturgical dance. Or lots of confusion where you need to spend half an hour assembling the plot like a jigsaw puzzle to make sense of what you just watched. But which movie is the one where the plot just isn't there? Nothing happens, no one does anything, none of it matters. I usually think of The Starfighters (which I just rewatched this weekend), but is there a riffed movie with less of a plot than that?
Which one (1) character (not actor, but character) would you most like to punch out? Answers can be given as comments in the thread or as a 30second interpretive dance.
