MST3K fans. What are your favorite episodes?
I've been streaming them on Netflix and just watched "The Final Sacrifice". One of the best ever. Lots of Canada jokes. What are your faves?

1. Alien From LA is my all time fave
Edited on Fri Aug-20-10 10:31 AM by lazarus
even though it's a Mike episode, and I'm a Joel fan. It's a hilariously bad movie from the 80s, and they're savage. Kathy Ireland is a horrible actor, the plotting doesn't make sense, the acting overall is way over the top. Just a great movie for the guys.

6. The Giant Spider Invasion has a place in my heart...
Because a number of the scenes were shot at my Alma Mater, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. There's an exterior shot of the science building (Obviously taken from across Fourth Street from the roof of the Berg Gymnasium), scenes shot in the basement of the Science Building, and in some of the Labs of the Scince Building

11. Virtually NONE of my favorites have made it to DVD.
ALL-TIME favorite is "Outlaw" ("Outlaw of Gor") with Jack Pallance. I have this on VHS.

SECOND favorite is "Horror of Party Beach"...I have the restored, uncensored, non-MST3K version of that on DVD, and the MST3K version on VHS.

THIRD favorite is "War of the Colossal Beast"...I have this on DVD, and the MST3K version on VHS.

16. "Kill him...kill him...kill him..."
"Outlaw" has gotta be my all-time #1 favorite, regardless of the "Joel versus Mike" debate. Front to back, it was a perfect episode.

The other two did what MST3K did best...sat back and enjoyed a "so bad it was good" classic film and made it a little bit better.

Horror at Party Beach
Lost Continent
Pod People
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Girl's Town
Outlaw
Deathstalker and the Warriors From Hell
The Skydivers
Manos: The Hands of Fate
Teenage Strangler

Not in any particular order. I have every single available episode (a few early K eps are missing; as far as anyone knows, they are completely gone). I also have a cam recording of the MST3K pilot, which Joel showed at a convention some years ago.

Generally, I'm a fan of Mike more than Joel. Joel has some classic episodes, but the movie choices are different later; you can only take so many Gamera vs X or Godzilla vs X before it gets boring.

19. Girlstown.
It's a Mike episode. Mamie Van Doren, Mel Torme, Paul Anka. Genius.

Also, Catalina Caper. Tom Servo falls for one of the girls in the movie, who they name "Creepy Girl", and it culminates in the three bots and Joel singing a Doo Wop song about her. That one also had an unexplained cameo by Little Richard.

Mr. B-Natural and Posture Pals are two of my favorite shorts.

Okay, now I need to go watch it. Thanks a lot! :)

29. Can somebody I.D. an episode for me based on a single joke?
It was before the move to Sci Fi. It was a whodunit, not a sci fi or monster movie.

And there was a cop or P.I. driving down the freeway, passing a sign, and one of the MST3K guys says "Food... Gas... Lodging... MURDER!"
