“Sorry about the train wreck. Go enjoy yourself. Live the high life you know.”
“It’s The Annual Fire Hazard Dance.”
Me: What are you doing here, Gyps–(sees gypsy causing the walls to collapse) Whoa-whoa!!!
“He offered me coke to play his record!”
Vicious as all get-out, and I love it.
Either this or Indestructible Man was my introduction to all the magic that is our cowtown puppet show. I know they remade this, but I haven’t looked at anything but the trailer. I just don’t think it’d be the same.
The deterioration of Joel’s soda jerk skit is hilarious.
It also is exhibit A against the myth some perpetuated in the Info Club days that Joel era MST3K was all sweetness and light and only mean ol’ Mike brought in the snark.
[nod] Joel spanked the robots once for torpedoing his crafts how-to. Don’t think Mike ever resorted to corporal punishment, did he?
And let’s not forget the time Joel went all body horrory and rebuilt the bots into a guitar and amp.
To me Joel always felt like a dad while Mike felt like the goofy uncle.
But it was Mike who knew a thing or two about a thing or two. He was a little rough on those poor bots, force-feeding them flat soft drinks and whatnot.
Wasn’t that evil Mike?
