What’s the movie where Tom Servo at some point in a very British accent says, “Please allow me to in-tro-duce myself…!” And is that some sort of reference to something?

I’m currently blanking on the episode, but I believe that’s in reference to “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones.

That’s a lyric from the Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil.” Seems like it’s popped up more than once, so I’m not sure where that specific one might be.
ETA: Mom! optiMSTie is typing faster than me again!

There was one such reference in The Dead Talk Back, but I don’t know if that’s the episode in question.

Was this freaky nightmare fuel from This Island Earth or what is it from!?

That would be from one of the DVD menu screens, not sure which volume. The one with Incredible Melting Man on it.

I have been tasked with identifying an episode, based on almost no clues. The movie’s cast was visibly drunk, with one actor hiccupping directly into the camera. The cast made many a riff referencing the drunk cast.
Only the hicup strikes me as a distinct clue, and I don’t recall it.

Worst case scenario, I watch a few episodes looking for a likely scene.

In one of the live streams for the 2nd Kickstarter J. Elvis and Joel talk about a time they tried drinking while writing an episode. They said it didn’t help and they didn’t do it again.
An episode with the cast visibly drunk would be news.

I swear, every time I remember hiccups, it’s a riffer noting just how inebriated a particular character is.

I’m reading this as the people in the movie being drunk, not the MST cast.
It’s probably Killer Shrews, which is the drinkingest movie.

I was going to guess Killer Shrews or possibly Mitchell, with JDB emoting primarily via beer belches.

It’s also worth considering Bloodlust and Agent for HARM. Both included riffs about a character or an actor who was drunk.

Sorry, the riffed movie’s cast was drunk.
I have also just been told it might have been Rifftrax.
Thanks to the mods for moving my question to the correct thread.

Killer Shrews was my first reaction; other episodes with famously drunk characters were I Accuse My Parents and The Leech Woman, but in both those cases it’s really just one character that’s a drunk.

If I’m looking for a drunk actor in a riffed movie, I’d start with Wendell Corey in Women of the Prehistoric Planet or Astro Zombies.

My subconscious spat out Wild Rebels as an answer. I haven’t seen it in quite a while (adding it to my Mod Watch Along list now…), so I don’t know of my brain is right or way off.

Hmm, I’ve extracted another minor nugget of information, it was from around the 60s. That would eliminate the popular Killer Shrews and Mitchell suggestions.

Agent for H.A.R.M. maybe? The boss at the spy agency talks like he just woke up on the floor of a bus station.
