I’m going to start the hype already. Two weeks from now: We pay tribute to the MST excellence that is I Accuse My Parents!
You know I am so very excited for this one!

You know I am so very excited for this one!
Would you care to write an essay about your excitement?
I Accuse My Parents is my low-key favorite Joel episode. I never think of it when I’m listing my favorites, and it doesn’t reach the heights of hilarity that you might find in Manos or Pod People, but it’s always a good watch, no matter how many times I take it in.
I can’t wait to watch their reactions to the Are You Happy in Your Work? sketch. Especially Joel’s expressions!
And will this include lying about the alcohol consumption of your parents?
I was trying to figure out what to make for the tribute next week and it suddenly hit me.
I’ll be grilling up some Hamburger Sammiches and serving with a side of french fried potato garnish!
I just keep thinking about essay contests. They were a major plot driver here, as well as in at least two shorts: The Other Fellow’s Feelings and Act Your Age.
I don’t remember essay contests being a thing when I was in school in the 1970s and 80s. But maybe I’ve just forgotten…?
And we’re gonna MAKE ‘em.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
[jumping freeze-frame high-five]
(I don’t want anyone putting sea anemones on their head, though.)
And after the event, we’ll all go to Jack Taylor’s Place and celebrate!
I’m not late for Terrible Hat Club, am I?!

The bots, unsupervised. I certainly don’t see how anything could possibly go wrong.
I’m sure it’ll all be perfectly fine, I mean, look how smooth it went down on the moon when Max was left in charge.
Eh, it’s a revue. I’m sure they’ll be reasonably reined in and not engage in any shenanigans whatsoever.
[nods with certainty]
[looks to the distance]
[has a moment of realization and gets a cold pit in his stomach]
oh no
“It’s a long way… to Tip-pe-RA-ryyyyy!”
