As I don my green and gold each Sunday, but one thought screams through my mind: WOO! PACKERS!!
Honestly, this is my favorite episode. With all the on-point Wisconsin jokes (I’ve actually been to Tommy Bartlett’s Water Show and have ridden a Duck in the Dells), this is my go-to when introducing the show to local friends. It just never gets old for me.
A very low bar. Dan Kester may be one of MST’s most reprehensible personalities. He is so unsympathetic The Master is nicer compared to him. Which isn’t saying much.
Oh man, how does anyone not love this episode? The first 20 minutes or so might be the funniest in Mst history! The Kester’s are pure gold! And when Crow quips “a showered person, thank God”, it ends one of the best stretches of Mst3K ever! I watch this one at least half a dozen times a year! It’s just too good!
Neat fact; my license plate reads MST3K. A new co worker of my mine saw it and his first comment to me was “PACKERS”!
Any competing stretches in other experiments? The first 20 minutes of Manos (1966)? The beginning of Mitchell (1975)? The final reel of Space Mutiny (1988)? Large sections of Pod People (1983)? Much else come close?
He’s fun. His energy is the antidote to Robert Easton’s black hole of a schmuck. They are two extremes in a light goofy picture which flirts with nastiness while putting on a happy face.
