I was thinking of something like that as well, a bunch of balloons being released from the theater rows. As you say, there are a number of ways they could play with the balloons to add to the gag.
The Mystery Fandom Theater 3000 episode with Timecop had cambotās lens crack during the naughty scene in that movie.
I like MSTās ākeep it PGā attitude; at this point I think itās baked into the DNA of the show, so changing it would significantly change the tone of the show. When I want something a little rougher around the edges, Iāve got RiffTrax! Itās the best of both worlds.
As for how MST does it, I await their next clever censoring move. The umbrella, the drones, even the fleeting moon logo in Devil Fish, all were funny. I like the idea of GPC using her big head to cover something, or maybe some piece of the theater breaks and hangs down in front of the screen.

āHey guys, whatcha doinā?ā
Kingachrome is such a wonky storage medium that thereās no telling what sorts of things might bubble up through it during playback.
Yeah, thatās kinda what I was thinking, too.
I was just rereading Roberta Gregoryās bleak but hilarious Nineties Xmas Naughty Bits comics. For a brief moment, I thought someone else was honoring this old tradition, too.
ApologiesāI missed that in your earlier post.
So Glad someone else has remembered CTā¦ Now if only someone would also remember the Film Crewā¦
They could also just use an umbrella, like they did way back
Bullbutter!
Ha, I used to read her! Good stuff indeed, one of my favorite comix authors. I was also reading Alison Bechdel back in college, long before Fun Home and The Bechdel Test catapulted her to semi-fame.
And even RiffTrax does some of it in their live shows. Space Mutiny with the digital gorilla gram was hilarious. They started fighting about what it was (Mike said it was a hippo and Kevin tried to be diplomatic and say it was a gorilla-hippo hybrid).
What if they went the Horrors of Spider Island route and just erased the nips like in the swimming scene??
Humblebrag.
Rabbit Troop sucks!
dang now I want a sexy sax version of Mighty Science Theaterā¦
āLove Theme From MST3K [AFTER DARK]ā
Get Bridget and Mary Jo to sing it. They did a great job of it in their riff of Terror by Night.
Donāt you mean MST3XXX?
You know, even Iām not going to pursue that thought any further, in sheer self-defense.
Aww I miss Home Movies.
