Episodes 320-324: Share your screenshots and favorite riffs!

Today we’re rounding out season three. Y’all are doing SUCH a fantastic job, we can’t thank you enough (although I’m hopeful we can find a fun way to express our gratitude for all your help!).

Anybody else think the Master Ninja episodes are super underappreciated?

As a refresher:

You can submit one to three screenshots in comments on each post. Please keep your images at minimum 800px x 600px and 72 dpi. File type does not matter. YES, screenshots of host segments are welcome too!

If you’d ALSO like to throw in a favorite riff, choose one that’s relatively short. Remember to include the timestamp of where it happens in the episode. Ideally the riff should make sense when used in context with the screenshot(s) you’ve chosen. Riffs are optional, though, and if you’d rather just share screenshots, that is fine too.

All of this info will be collected and may be used in the Gizmoplex library! Your contributions are greatly appreciated, even if you can’t participate on every post. There’s zero pressure to do EVERY episode. Whatever you can do will help.

Since Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is a favorite, off the top of my head, I love:


About 2:55- I wanna decide who lives and who dies!


Around 10:16- Smoking is good for you!


Approximately 21:28- Uh, Roger. Paper towel rolls are on the patio table. Over.

Ahh thanks for the Master Ninja memories. Cheese-fest of a TV show, but the MST3K episodes are just so fun.

And as an aside, I’m pretty sure these are the only episodes still in existence. So MST3K for the save. (you can decide if it’s really a good thing or a bad thing.) And if there are more out there, can we have a Master Ninja III? :smiley:

I remember hearing that Master Ninja III was going to be the original game plan for the Season 6 finale, but with Frank leaving the show, they decided to give him a parting gift with a Mexican wrestling movie by way of Samson Vs. the Vampire Women.

So… who knows? It is out there!

The whole series exists. I have it on DVD.

It does? I am frankly shocked as I’ve never run across anyone who’s even heard of the show. I never would have suspected anyone would have spent the money to press DVDs
