MST3K: A Lesson in Perspective for Liberals
MST3K

Posted on 04/18/2006 6:27:50 AM PDT by Reaganesque

I have felt for sometime now that the main motivating force behind the "Bush lied, people died" crowd is the notion that "they did it to Clinton, so we'll do it to Bush." And while there were those on the right that went to extremes in their criticism of President Clinton, the general level of vitriol and hate that Liberals have sunk to in their seething rage against Bush specifically and Republicans in general is totally out of proportion with reality and precedent. This reminded me of this sketch from Mystery Science Theater 3000:

Mike: And then the drunk guy says, "I can't help being an idiot; I'm Canadian."

Crow: Hahahaha. You're right! They're so pathetic, Mike!

Mike: Right, exactly.

Servo: Enough! There's been too much Canada-bashing for far too long. I say no more.

Mike: Don't you mean, "No more, eh?"

Crow: Good one, man! They are so stupid!

Servo: Stop it now! Instead, let us offer our northern brothers and sisters this song of tribute. Oh, I wish I was back in old Canada, a land which I never shall lampoon. How I pine for the ice covering Lake Manitoba and the beauty that is Saskatoon.

Mike: Oh, I got one. Oh, I wish I was stuck in the hills of Alberta drinkin beer with some big, dumb guy trapping fur.

Servo: Hey!

Mike: As he scraped and he chisled all the moose dung off his boot, I would learn that he's the prime minister.

Servo: Oh, stop that.

Crow: Oh, I wish I was in the land that gave us Peter Jennings, Alanis Morrissette, Mike Myers too...

Servo: Ah!

Crow: No, I take that back, I wouldn't go there even if you paid me! Oh, Canada, you are a place I must eschew.

Servo: Now this is not in the spirit that I intended.

Mike: Oh, come on. Give in. I mean, they gave us Ed the Sock... and Rush.

Crow: Yeah, what are you defending? They're such feebs!

Servo: Okay, I'll try.

Mike: Alright, good man!

Servo: Oh, I wish I was blowing up Prince Edward Island, then going on to bomb Ontario. Hehe. The destruction of Canada and all of its culture is by far my favorite scenario.

Mike: Okay, I think that's a little strong. You can back down...

Servo: Oh no, you were right, Mike. This is much more fun! Just where the hell does Canada get off sharing a border with countries far superior to it?

Crow: Yikes!

Servo: Why, you lousy, stinkin', Francophonic, bacon-lovin' bastards, your country's just a giant piece of sh...

Crow: Woah, woah, woah, woah! Geez!

Mike: Okay, I think that's enough! I think we've punched it. Cambot, okay. Thanks. Alright.

Servo: Sorry.

Crow: Wow.

Servo: I have no sense of proportion. I'm a disgrace to my uniform.

Mike: I know. That's, that's okay. Now calm down now. Mustn't hate, mustn't hate...

Crow: At least so overtly.

Mike:v Exactly, right. Must disguise our hate. Just a little, okay? We'll be right back. Shh, shh. It's okay now, Dudley. Calm down, calm down.

Servo: Pardon é mois! Pardon é mois!

I don't remember the name of the movie, but one that had me rolling was one the wrestling women when Crow went while when the one woman was taking off her sweater.

I always wanted to see them do more mainstream movies, like Star Wars or Kramer vs. Kramer.

Here's another:
(Parts: The Clonus Horror)
Computer - "How may I help you?"
Richard - "I have a question."
Nelson - "I'll hang up and listen."
Computer - "What is your question?"
Richard - "What does M-I-L-W-A-U-K-E-E spell?"
Computer - "Please wait."
Crow - "It spells $2.99 a keg."

You're thinking of Racket Girls, episode 616. Crow says "I want another helping of Peaches."

If they would have done the '90s Godzilla movies, they'd have murdered me in laughter. "Godzilla Versus King Ghidorah" just SCREAMS to be ripped by these guys.

I loved the debate following "Mr. B Natural" on whether Mr. B is a man or a woman.

Crow: Yes! Mr. B Natural had breasts! A decidedly unnatural thing for a man to have, wouldn't you agree, Mr. Servo? When one takes into account the short jacket, the shiny leotard, the wide hips, unless one is wildly confused, as my colleague seems to be, one concludes naturally that Mr. B Natural is indeed a wonderfully, spritely--albeit annoying--woman!

Yeah, Mike is at the very least a moderate. The others are definitely very liberal. Oh well, who cares? That show was terrific, especially in the last 3-4 seasons.

I think when I get more money in my motorcycle saving account, I will spend some on the entire collection before my wife buys more curtains.

Along with "Posture Pals" was a short called "Appreciating Your Parents". Tommy came home every day from school to find that his room was clean, his bed was made, and his clothes were neatly pressed.

Servo: It's called "guilt", and boy, does it work!

Agreed. The best TV show of the 90's IMHO.

It'll be money well spent.

"MST3K marathons" You mean 10 hours or a metric day?
I too spent many hung over mornings watching MST3K. Some of my favorites are Sidehackers, Wild Rebels, Final Sacrifice, Catalina Caper, Manos Hands of Fate.

Yeah. It's really hilarious that the Chinese have us bracketed using technology supplied to them under Clinton. Hey, he needed campaign cash. HAHAHA.
