Great MST

No one with half a brain has watched this without the MST crew commenting. This is in my top 10 favorite MSTs. Why? Well, many MST episodes have very dark and serious movies that are hard to watch. This movie takes itself so lightly that it is hard to believe the cast wasn't laughing at themselves the entire time. While the movie is dumb, pointless and seems to meander between an attempt at a plot and just pure ludicrous silliness, it is still a fun little adventure with the gang's joking.

The best lines in this movie, for me at least, come about the infamous "Creepy Girl". Here's a couple if I remember them correctly.

Creepy Girl is blabbering on about fish...
Joel: You know, there's a psychiatrist on board who could really help you.

Don Pringle: I've never seen the ocean.
Creepy Girl: Oh, then you have missed much!
Tom: Yes, it's only 75% of the Earth's surface.

Don says something about fish...
Creepy Girl: Oh, you remembered!
Joel: What? Your deep seated psychosis? Of course!

A shot of Little Richard up close.
Joel: I think I know a bright young star who's hopped up on goofballs right now.
Crow: Is he in this scene?
Joel: Yes, and his head is about 10 feet tall.

Bob Draper: I'd give a months pay to know what Locopolis is up to!
Joel: Five bucks?!

As Tina drags Tad off to 'party'.
Joel: Let's go have little Marty Milners.

And finally, all the comments about the overacting Exidor and his extrememly lame prat falls.

Y'know those dancers are dancing on dumpsters. Does that make them White Trash?

Four women in bikinis are standing together on the side of a yacht.
Joel: "They're standing four abreast."

The pathetic excuse for a band plays for a second time, with an attractive brunette singing.
Crow: "It's Gloria Estefan and the Miami Deus Ex Machina Sound Machine!"

During the stupid fight on the yacht, Joel and the bots toss out silly titles.
Servo: "Yo ho ho and a bottle of death!"

As teenagers dance around a bonfire:
Servo: "Klan meetings have really livened up."

A shapely dancing girl fills the screen.
Crow: "There's not a lot we can add to this."
Joel: "Not on a family show."

When the Cascades are singing on the same note, badly:
Cascades: "There's a new world out there for meeee!"
Servo (singing): "There's a concept called harmonyyyy!"

Servo: "They can't siiiing..."
Crow (harmonizing): "They can't siiiing!"

When Tommy Kirk is leaning against the rock after the girl loses her bikini top:
Servo: "He's stuck between a rock and a hard place."

Man: "Oh, no you don't!"
Servo: "Oh, yes I do."

Definately one of my favorite MST's to rewatch, and rewatch...

Whenever I friend and I (who's also into MST, thanks to me) get together to rewatch our favorite episodes, this one is always on the short list.

"He just broke Tommy Kirk's Oscar!"

One scene I revisit on YouTube is The Cascades doing "There's a New World." Can't believe I actually know that information.

Crow comments, "Now I understand why drugs were big in the '60s. You need 'em." & they sang, "I won't, pretend, to sing!" "To sing!" "to sing"!

Tom says, "Turn on. Tune in. Throw up."

I can't sing. I can't sing!
There's a new world opening for me!
& the girls prance around in their BVDs™!
There's a concept; it's called harmony!

Joel pokes fun at the aging drummer. "Hey look at me! I'm sixty!"

Crow believes that "they sent the wrong men to 'Nam."

& u gotta love Servo's infatuation for Katrina the Creepy Girl. & yet his wish comes true when she becomes the belle of the beech blanket bingo & mystifies all the men & alienates the women. You're welcome, Tom, along w/ the Creepy Girl losing her top in the surf.

Crow jokes, "Looks like he's caught between a rock & a," but he's interrupted.

My favorite of the Joel episodes, and one of my personal all time favorite episodes of the series. The riffs are good, and I even enjoy the film itself, which says a lot.

I would recommend the MST3K Volume 1 Set to anyone. This one, and probably my most favorite episode BLOODLUST, plus THE SKYDIVERS and THE CREEPING TERROR which are also pretty good.
