I bought the Volume 10 box set with this one it. This is one of the funniest. And the "Janitor" song by Mike is pretty good.

Father farts on chair. Gets up to seat his daughter.
"Mind the stain, honey."

I just recently watched this one, and I love it. One of my new favorites. Plus, Mikey is absolutely priceless.

My mind is not for rent to any god or government.

I don't think any episode can be considered bad, but this one has to be the raunchiest that I've seen. One of the things I always liked about mst3k is that the humor stayed pretty tame and innocent. It didn't need dirty jokes or toilet humor and always had a lot of intelligent references. But teen-age strangler has way too many sex jokes and farting noises. To quote Joel in a much earlier episode, it's kind of sophomoric.

I didn't notice that at all about this one, but even if it did have an excess of potty humor, I think that's when the show can sometimes be at it's funniest BECUASE they don't do a whole lot of it. So when they do make a scataological joke every once a while it hits that much harder.

Great show, great episode. Mike as Mikey in that host segment is priceless.

Um, The Starfighters and Mitchell (also one of Joel's episodes) were also filled with that kind of humor. However they only use such humor when the movie fits. I mean when you have a film about high school, how can you not have any potty humor?

I didn't realize it was on MST3K. My husband and I just watched it On Demand and "MST3Ked" it ourselves!
