Mystery Science Theater 3000
Is it still considered kino? Or do zoomers not get it
Mystery Science Theater 3000
Is it still considered kino? Or do zoomers not get it
It was always to slow for me
One of the best shows ever. Who gives a shit what zoomers get or don't get?
If i wanted to hear 1 joke every 8 minutes i'd watch modern standup comedy
I'm 42 and it was never funny
based
not so based
If I wanted to be surrounded by strangers cocks all the time I'd buy a condo in your mother's mouth, what's your point?
I always have and still do have friends to watch crappy old movies with so I never needed the fake ones supplied by MST.
There are reaction channels now
I do both, why not do both?
Boomers will cope, seethe and shake about how they're totally different things
Its a different kind of funny that zoomers wouldn't like.
During the Kickstarter, Hodgson confirmed that due to the name being seen by some as an ethnic slur against Romani and other itinerant peoples, Gypsy was renamed to GPC around 2019
they made it fucking political
I havent finished the seasons with Joel but I'll miss him with whoever they get replaced after
Wished they continued the trend of playing serials before the main movie, I like having something consistent going on apart from the boss and his lackey and the main film
Mike > Joel
Trace sucks, most flubs of any cast member, couldn't find a consistent voice for Crow
Riding with Death is the best episode
They've always made leftist minded political comments in a satirical tone, Catalina caper season ep38 for example, and people abroad watch MST3K, although I wouldn't know if that include Romani people
Joel is a faggot and Mike's writing saved him and the show. The Mike seasons are way superior too. The new shit is unwatchable and not MST3K. Rifftrax is so much better than nu-MST3K.
*season 2
Nah, Mike made jokes about Janet Reno getting people killed and shit on his episode.
They did shit about both sides, and Mike is a big time Conservative that hates wokeshit and has talked about it ruining comedy quite a few times.
Joel hangs out with eunuchs and is kicking a dead horse begging for shekels while Mike makes loads of Rifftrax money with his bros not being politically correct and married the hot as fuck and actually funny woman from the show that played Lisa Loeb and Mr. B Natural
Sometimes the good guy does win.
due to the name being seen by some
What's the line from The Simpsons? "A very vocal majority of two people"?
All the riffs Bridget does with Mary-Jo are super solid, too.
I'm watching it from the beginning and if that's the case no wonder we are not hearing about them anymore, big time conservative no woke shit in the 90s? might as well watch c-span and put on a suit to kiss Mr goldbergs shoes just before going to church.
It's good to live long enough to see Larry Erhardt become the third most hated antagonist.
They actually are really good, I agree. She's still hot too.
I found out about a week ago that Season 11 isn't on Netflix anymore. The whole season was thrown into the void, not even Gizmoplex has any of it.
That's for the best.
Still there for me.
Are you not in the US?
The references were hard to understand for me when I first found this as a kid. There's no way zoomers are going to get it at all. Plus, desu, the show is peak Reddit.
The females on this show are actually funny, it's bizarre. Do they write their own material?
see:
I think a lot of the jokes of MST3K are timeless. However some are very dated in 90’s culture. Zoomers grew up with friend simulators like podcasts, YouTubers and Twitch streamers. So they should be used to the format.
I'm in the US and I just checked again. My eyes are retarded, disregard what I said about Season 11 not being there.
Uncultured swine doesn't understand things and calls it LE REDDIT XD
Imagine my shock. Did you have breakfast today?
Is that the one that Netflix themselves produced? Then I don’t care. It was very dull and toothless. Liken they took soft jabs at woke culture and republicans but didn’t really commit to anything. Don’t even remember the new characters’ names.
People always say that, but I grew up in the 2000s, and all I ever had to do to know basically everything I'd ever need to know about the 70s, 80s, and 90s was watch those VH1 "I Love the (Decade)" shows, and I never had any trouble with MST3K references.
They're especially heavy with specific 70s things when they watch shit from the 70s, but it was all there in I Love the 70s, Billy Beer, streaking, disco duck, Donny Osmond, whatever, I got basically everything they made jokes about.
Zoomer here, I do not understand the appeal at all. It's annoying as fuck to have people interrupt a movie's audio track with lame, bland comedy every 30 seconds. I understand that it's meant to evoke watching bad movies with your friends, but MST3K is just so fucking tame.
Early seasons of The Simpsons and Family Guy helped with a lot of the references too. But someone born in a year beginning with 2 will get filtered hard.
I could never stomach any of the Joel episodes.
Yeah it was but there's way more unfunny episodes than funny ones
Luckily there's like 1000 episodes so you can just watch the 100 or so good ones
Zoomer here
evoke
Why do you guys love this word? Why does your entire generation replace 3-10 words with buzzwords like this?
It's pretty dependent on the movie they're watching. If it's bad in a baffling or interesting way it's often very fun, but if the movie's dull and meandering then the comedians can't save it.
I can't tell if he's bending the knee or pretending to to mock them since I imagine it's pronounced the same (geepeesee)
Yeah, all you need is surface level knowledge of pop culture things and understand comedic cues to get about 99% of the jokes on the show. I don't buy into the excuse that people don't like it because "They couldn't understand what they were joking about", and usually those people are drooling retards. Or maybe they should really just relax.
Zoomer here
Stopped reading there.
I would think Zoomers wouldn't like the original run of MST3K because it's from another time and you wouldn't get the jokes.
Half of the jokes are about Cindy Crawford and other things that were outdated before anyone under 30 was even born. These are gen xers making jokes for gen xers. It's not hard to understand, it's just not that funny to younger audiences when they reference the one time some actress bumped her elbow while drunk at a club and made TMZ headlines for 30 seconds 40 years ago.
The word "Gypsy" is not pronounced "geepeesee". It's pronounced "Jihp See".
That's not true. Also, as stated earlier, no one gives a fuck what you or your sexless generation finds funny.
I couldn't get into it, but I enjoy the 372 Pages podcast. I listen to it to fall asleep to as well.
I'm 19 and I understand most of the jokes and the ones I don't understand I look up.
We're not all retarded trannoids please don't put that on all of us.
thing turns green
mmmm this thing has a nice minty flavor
bazinga!
I'm 19 and I understand most of the jokes and the ones I don't understand I look up.

There's a lot of overlap between the MST and Neil Breen crowds
Reddit: The Friend Simulator show
Flag on the moon...
Millennials really thought that
HE TRIIIIIIIED TO KILL ME WITH A FORKLIFT
was peak cult-comedy.
The show aired in 1988 (literally 40 years ago). The oldest millennials are about 45. This was a show for faggy Gen-X consoomer who followed celebrity gossip—basically the funko pop crowd but one generation back.
Look at this broccoli head sub-90 IQ seethe. Disgusting and pathetic.
I talk about things I have no idea about but um ackshually I really know alot and um ackshually if you disagree you are doing a hecking hatespeech on me so I invoke the name of reddit because I'm really smart and not a mouth breathing troglodyte mmmkay

The cuck zoomer knows it's wrong and is such a pussy it won't even directly reply
Oof. What an absolute sadness you are.
I’m a 24 year old zoomer and have a soft spot for the show, it’s hit or miss but it’s pretty easy to sort by how entertaining each movie looks. There a ton of niche references I still don’t I understand but they fly by fast enough. Also as a kid I liked Joel more but now I really prefer Mike, there is an edge to his humor that balances him out
all I ever had to do to know basically everything I'd ever need to know about the 70s, 80s, and 90s was watch those VH1 "I Love the (Decade)" shows
Are you me?
also speaking of Joel and Mike was there ever any drama between the two? I always thought it was interesting that Mike kept the friends in the divorce and the bots were recasted
I think you're a bit behind the times if you think Zoomers weren't having watch parties for this shit in college 5-7 years ago. Can't blame you though, cause I don't know what people are up to in college either.
There must have been, but it's pretty admirable they don't act like a bunch of catty current modern day women about it. They also did the reunion show together and seemed fine together. If I had to guess, and this is just from what I've seen and heard, I think Joel resents Mike a bit because of how seamlessly Mike took over the show (with Mike being liked more as the host as time went on) when Joel left and how Joel's solo attempts kind of crashed and burned. It's like the lady who played Tasha Yar leaving Star Trek TNG (to a much lesser extent because she didn't create the show obviously) to supposedly go on to bigger and better things and being in one cult classic horror movie and nothing else of note.
Tfw can't troll about how gay and leftist this show is because everyone insists on shoehorning in gender war nonsense
I think you're behind the times if you think zoomers have "watch parties"
That's a thing 20somethings were doing 15 years ago
Zoomers don't watch anything except the occasional theatrical release that becomes a meme
I showed some of my friends it and they didn't like it that much, which is odd since it seems pretty much everyone from an older generation.
One of my friend's mom knew what it was and she was shocked none of them liked it.
That dumb bitch threw so much money in the trash can because she thought she was some sort of master thespian. I don't think the MST3K movie, they all consider it a mistake but it could have been big without hollyjew kikes they later made fun of in season 7 destroying the formula, or being picked up by Sci Fi would have happened with Joel still in control of the show. It would have been canceled in season 6 and we wouldn't have all the amazing episodes that came after.
Inviting a small group to your dorm to socialize and laugh at bullshit on TV is a normal thing every generation does. Not everything is muh gender war.
that sounds about right, I was wondering if there was some conspiracygrumps tier stuff going on. Sounds like Joel probably thought he could branch out and when that failed he came back to a crew that out grew him and was left with the IP without anyone who made it good, its probably just more awkward than anything
Why do zoomers in their 20's and up still think it's "us kids vs. the adults"? I grew out of that between 8 and 15 or so
Mike was one of the writers for basically the whole show, he wasn't just some replacement that came out of nowhere, and when he took the host spot the show became funnier because he was just better with the formula after like 5 seasons with Joel
Joel is more of a Canadian influence/SCTV type of comedian, while Mike is quicker and more biting and that was just better for the 90s (and today, more or less)
Joel quit the show completely, he had one or two guest spots in the Mike seasons, but he was just out, so when the show got canned it's not like he was still involved at all to retain anything or stay as close working friends with anyone. Joel just gathered whoever didn't essentially stick with Mike after the show ended.
My Dad, typically a funny and relatively intelligent guy, didn't like it because he wanted to watch the movies himself and couldn't focus on both things, the jokes and the shitty movie, at once. I find that is typically the type of person that dislikes the show. He also likes The Big Bang Theory and bought me a BAZINGA shirt "because you remind me of Sheldon because you like nerdy things" too though, so maybe he should just die.
No, it isn't.
Zoomers are barely going to college at all compared to millenials, they're also barely socializing in comparison
Millenials are unquestionably the last "standard" generation in terms of social trends and media consumption
That could possibly change, but probably not with gen alpha coming up on skibidi toliet
Literally no one brought up gender in the comment you were replying to you lunatic tranny. Holy shit. Don't you fucking get it yet? WE DON'T FUCKING CARE AND YOU ARE AREN'T SPECIAL. The fatigue is fucking real and it's your fault because you inject it into everything AND NO ONE WITH A WORKING BRAIN GIVES A SHIT. Fuck off and die.
Zoomers are barely going to college at all compared to millenials
they're also barely socializing in comparison
I'm 41, and you're a cum-gargling faggot.
I guarantee that the MST writers are funnier than your friends.
To write an episode of MST3K, the writers would spend a week watching the same movie three times in the writer's room, do their own writing, reconvene with what each of them had, and then pick and choose the best jokes of what they had compiled. A reaction channel is low-effort slop where a nigger sits there, makes faces, and goes "oh shit", or "that was cool" every 30 seconds or so.
Not even vaguely the same thing.
I was done when they did that preview video where it was revealed that Servo was going to be played by a black guy, and he exclaimed "I'M GOING TO HAVE SOUL NOW!", implying that Kevin Murphy wasn't already soulful AF.
They are absolutely savage to the Japanese.
The woke mind virus and it's consequences on higher education are blahblah something something I can't even be bothered to put in the effort but yeah shit sucks and it's why we have to import pajeets and now I can't even get my hot juicy cock looked at by a white doctor instead of some streetshitter whose parents told them they had to go to school and make good whenever I get the clap from some whore. It's a sad state the world is in.
zoomers are barely going to college
everyone with a pulse and enough money goes because it's seen as a requirement as of decades ago
Are you from Pakistan or something?
Are you, nigger?
Are you living in 2002?
Do you not know the rates at which millenial college graduates ended up living back with their parents?
I'm serious asking, are you the same person who thinks zoomers have "watch parties" too? Because you sound like you're from fucking mars.
The new shit is unwatchable and not MST3K.
I genuinely tried to like the new seasons, but I just can't do it. The host segments are straight cringe, the riffs are painfully unfunny, and the political correctness shit ruins characters like Gypsy (excuse me, "GPC"). They whole point of her sounding like a retarded man was that the bulk of her processing was devoted to the higher functions of the ship, and in spite of that, she was still the smartest being on the ship. Now she's just "lady who sings a lot".
someone said it the best when they called the revival LA-ified, in that the comfy Yoopers who barely studied comedy were replaced by Nepo babies and diversity hires who have been trying to make their whole lives. Early MTS3K was blue collar and DIY in that the sets and puppets were made but the same guys who wrote
Generation war*
Same shit. You are a retard.
Don't watch it from the beginning. They didn't hit their stride until Season 3. The two Godzilla movies at the end of Season 2 aren't bad either.
Do you really believe this sprung up organically among ordinary people and then got adopted by higher education afterward? How is an entire generation of people born with the Internet in their hands so disconnected from reality? Reading some of these posts, it's like if it didn't happen after 2022, it never happened at all in the minds of these retards
also speaking of Joel and Mike was there ever any drama between the two?
The closest I've ever heard to there being drama between them was at the height of their solo projects, Mike suggested a playful "RiffTrax vs. Cinematic Titanic" rivalry to rile up the fans (in a joking way) and stir up publicity for them both, but Joel wasn't interested. Note that this was years before the RiffTrax MST3K Reunion Live Show, so they all seem fine with each other.
I didn't understand a lot of jokes when I was 12, no, but they offset the boomer references with observational and jokes of the more "pull my finger" jokes too. If you notice, the majority of the letters that they read at the end of the show are from kids. Half the fun of it has been learning shit throughout my adult life, and going "Oh, that's what they were referencing!"
Just go back to Phineas and Ferb, that's more your level.
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) indicates that overall undergraduate enrollment declined by 15% between 2010 and 2021, with 42% of this decline occurring during the pandemic. However, projections suggest an increase of 9% between 2021 and 2031.
Your iToddler phone automatically corrected your dumb babbling to another bullshit talking point you have used a thousand times as an excuse for shit no one with a working brain gives a fuck about. Congratulations you fucking retard, you just proved what a misinformed piece of garbage that follows current thing and has zero thoughts that are your own you are. Do everyone on the planet a favor and kill yourself. Utterly pathetic and disgusting. How do you live with yourself? Have you ever actually looked at who you are and what you actually believe, or just spent all your time cultivating your personality into what you are told it should be?
True, it's a great show for any age
We actually went outside had had friends in the 90s, zoomzoom.
It's nice background, but avoid the Netflix release like the plague. It was top kino back in the 90s for late night viewing. Enjoyed watching it falling asleep with my siblings. There are 24 hour pirate streams of it around the internet if you look carefully.
yeah they put in far more effort.
One thing I had to learn riffing with a group was to follow standard socializing practices with strangers. Don't talk about race, religion, or politics, even if it would make for a good riff. You are there to make people laugh, not to make a political statement.
I don't see how you could make a modern day version with all women. The original characters were minimum wage schlepps trying to survive and practicing self deprecating humor. I strongly doubt the modern woman is capable of that.
Listening to their riffs, you could tell Joel and the Mads were liberals and Mike was a Midwest Republican, like those Republicans that connect themselves back to Lincoln. They hired him though despite this because he was good at standup.
That's fucking great.
make a typo
two full posts of seething in response
down by half
Great point
So a big decline? Nice to see they didn't teach you kindergarten tier math or reading skills.
I get the feeling that Joel is one of those guys who believes in integrity of the product and other bullshit that auteurs believe in, so when he felt like he was losing control he quit. These people get angry, blame themselves, etc, and Joel was lucky enough that Netflix picked up any part of his stuff, which caused a mini revival and supposedly he's doing okay now. For how long, who knows?
I was in a similar position a while back, and I took the auteur route. God knows I wish I hadn't.
They need to get the woman who owns Soultaker to loosen up too. That's a banger episode. She was a piece of ass in that movie too.
It would be great to get the Godzilla episodes back out in some capacity too, but there's no way Toho's going to ever let that happen.
I cannot imagine a more cretinous waste of time than this proto-reddit friend simulator.
duh zoomurssss
Guessed wrong again award
Total obsession award
she was still the smartest being on the ship.
When rewatching the show in preparation for the first Netflix season, Joel seemed to have missed the countless skits where it was very clear that Gypsy was the only halfway intelligent person on the Satellite. She ended the show as the CEO of her own company, for fuck's sake. But because she had a Miss Piggy voice, apparently she was an awful, unwoke character that needed fixing. Because she couldn't just be funny because she was a puppet in a comedy show.
Now she's just "lady who sings a lot".
I miss her original voice so much. They didn't even try to replace it with anything. Sassy black lady, Jewish mother, heavy midwestern accent... They wouldn't have been as funny as her old Miss Piggy voice, but at least they would've been *something*. Now she's just... woman. Bland, flat, white woman.
It might as well be in a different language for Zoomers
I don't even see how its similar
UM IT WAS A TYPO BUT I SAID IT WAS THE SAME THING SO I'M TOTALLY RIGHT EVEN THOUGH WHAT I JUST SAID WAS ADMITTING I WAS WRONG
Take a lap you retarded nigger. Holy shit.
I call it "Noah's Arcade Presents: Mystery Science Theater 3000".
It would be great to get the Godzilla episodes back out in some capacity too, but there's no way Toho's going to ever let that happen.
I will say, while they probably don't love the idea of the movies being made fun of, Toho nowadays is far more loose and fun and willing to do whatever with the character than they were in the '90s and early 2000s. While it's not a guarantee, it's more likely these days than it was before.
It's definitely more personal for her, Soultaker is her The Room, but she was a little too young to try and direct it herself
This. I imagine they're the same people who still watch SNL every week and laugh at the "jokes" there too
Joel is one of those guys who believes in integrity of the product
Pretty sure it's the exact opposite considering what he made the reboot friend.
Yeah, but only after all of his other projects failed. He's lucky he retained ownership of the IP, which allowed him to revive it. And maybe I should explain: people like him always believe in the integrity and artistry of the product until they see everyone else around them getting rich.
Try again retard. You probably don't know that Joel was on SNL and bombed there too. The pathetic backpedaling and samefagging attempts to make yourself not look like a mouthbreathing troglodyte are some of the worst shit I have seen on here in ages. Please don't stop, it's like your awful life is the awful movie and everyone ITT pointing it out is us riffing on you.
Ah, I see what you're saying. Yeah, definitely.
Jim Mallon owned it for the longest time, and he spent like 15 years after the show ended just sort of squatting on it, and cashing royalty checks. I think it was Shout Factory that bought the rights from him finally, and then sort of handed the reins to Joel, but I think it's way apparent now that while Joel was the guy who originally came up with the idea, it's guys like Kevin, Trace, and especially Mike who made it what people loved.
It's kind of like Matt Groening. He gets the credit for The Simpsons, but if he had his way, it would have always been season 1. It was guys like Sam Simon and John Schwartzwelder who gave it soul.
Buy an ad
He's lucky he retained ownership of the IP, which allowed him to revive it.
From what I recall, that's not what happened.
Either Jim didn't want the IP anymore and was looking to sell it, or Shout Factory was interested in buying the IP
Either way, Shout Factory now has the IP
Shout Factory wants to revive the IP
"Who's the man for the job?"
"Hey, Joel! D'you wanna do MST3K again?"
I believe it was something along those lines, roughly. That's what I heard at the time, at least.
decrease of 15%
"See this statistic online? 150000% decrease! THIS is why I'm a failure"
lol zoomers
TL;DR: if you had friends and a dorm room, you probably consumed some kinos together with wine coolers and some qts
The problem is that it shows the full movie, so you have some funny jokes with interludes of boring nothing, in YouTube the boring parts are omitted, also they can't pause or rewind the movie. It's also very teamed so it doesn't come close to the jokes people on YouTube can make or the things you can say with your friends.
Still can't even do basic math
Moves goalposts to try to sound right
Wine coolers
Are you 60 and retarded, or 16 and retarded?
It' a very outdated show, true. To watch it back then while being with the times was cool, but nowadays anything similar is more dynamic.
45% decline during the pandemic
2--3 years depending on the school
this also applies to elementary/middle/high school
compulsory online classes
Do you not understand how catastrophic this was for zoomers? They already had the lowest rates of socialization and sex since like when WWII took all the boys and men away
They are fucked, and they do not have watch parties like 21 year old girls did in 2010 watching the office or glee or whatever
didn't even attempt to support his argument whatsoever
Low effort trolling just bores the other person. You have to try harder. Sometimes less is more. I'll give you one more opportunity to be not boring and after that I'm going to watch Leon: The Professional.
going to watch Leon: The Professional.
You fucking pedo. That movie is sick.
45% of that 15%...
Zoomers literally can not read nor interpret data whatsoever. It's going to be so easy to financially rape you guys, lmao. You are spiritually boomers.
This just translates to "I'm an ADHD zoomer who has the attention span of a goldfish, and that's the show's fault for some reason".
I always thought she was Teen Witch. Evidently they are two different actresses
The problem is that it shows the full movie,
It literally doesn't, retard. Most movies are cut down for run time of the episode/explicit content/too boring to riff on.
It's also very teamed so it doesn't come close to the jokes people on YouTube can make or the things you can say with your friends.
Kys you fucking faggot
It' a very outdated show, true.
It literally isn't you fucking dumbass. Holy fuck how did zoomers become such retards.
If MST3K was playing on a screen next a screen with some retard playing minecraft you would love it.
Didn't have an argument
Expects one back
lel kill yourself you absolute mongoloid.
I'm 42 and it was never funny
Both of these statements are untrue.
They understand no references beyond Spongebob and the MCU.
There are reaction channels now
Those are fucking retarded. It's just faggots screaming and overreacting at le epic scenes and people like that shit. MST3K takes bottom of the barrel unwatchable movies and carefully rights jokes to them and performs for the entire movie.
Did they stop teaching word problems in 5th grade math class or something?
Riding with Death is the best episode
Just me posting as Ben Murphy.
Who cares. Everyone knows that Mike was the superior host. Watch Rifftrax instead of this redditor show
Plus, desu, the show is peak Reddit.
kys faggot. If it predates bleddit it can't be bleddit.
Anon, the movie on the series are boring, so having 10 minutes between any funny joke is boring. I like slow movies like 2001 or Star Trek I, but when something is boring, I'd just boring.
But some faggot screaming at a Minecraft screen is pure entertainment?
If it predates bleddit it can't be bleddit.
This begs the question: Are Redditors born or made?
The average zoomnigger mystery meat can't even comprehend the breakfast question bro. The board has become infected with them, it's not a shock that this thread is full of absolute morons like
Kys you fucking faggot
Good argument.
so having 10 minutes between any funny joke is boring
Literally doesn't happen, faggot. There's at least 2 jokes every minute. At least.
Ohhhh, so you're trolling or actually a retarded person. Cool.
Having no friends and not going to college sux but insisting that nobody had these things because there's an overall 15% drop is a bit excessive and betrays your own shortcomings
I think the failure of the revival thanks to Joel not knowing what the fuck he's doing simply proves once again that Mike is the king.
I'm 43. It is one of the best shows ever made you faggot.
It's a perfect argument.
"DUDE, YOUTUBERS CAN MAKE BETTER JOKES".
So, are they watching complete b-movies and riffing on them? Please post some of these hilarious jokes. I can post hilarious MST3K jokes.
ESL and stupid as shit. Glad we figured that out.
I think the failure of the revival thanks to Joel not knowing what the fuck he's doing simply proves once again that Mike is the king.
It's not just Joel. Kevin and Jim Mallon were huge parts as well. Mike was great as well, but he came in as a writer after most of the pieces were in place.
You can stop now.
There's at least 2 jokes every minute.
That's why I said funny jokes
That's why I said funny jokes
I would say half the jokes are funny. Some are extremely funny.
Star Trek movies are boring
kys zoomer
Mike, Kevin and Trace were the reason for the shows success. Once it became a well oiled machine Trace stepped out and Bill was able to fill in just fine. Joel had the idea and really wasn't needed beyond that.
Zoomers are barely going to college at all compared to millenials, they're also barely socializing in comparison
That's part because the pandemic ruined their formative years. And part because they see millennials with college degrees crying on TikTok about having to stock shelves for $15/hr at 6:00 AM.
Sure it never stops being the 70s or else we'll all be in trouble
1) I can tell english isn't your first language, so a lot of the humor might be lost on you. I don't mean that to be the insult it probably sounds like it is, just a statement of fact.
2) the movie on the series are boring
You just haven't watched the right ones. There's some that are dull enough that even the jokes can't save it, I'll admit that, but those also aren't the episodes that I recommend to people. I always tell people to start with the later seasons, particularly stuff like "Space Mutiny", "Werewolf", or "Hobgoblins". Those movies are goofy enough that it's funny even without the jokes, and they're good "entry level" episodes. If you think those are boring episodes, I don't know what to tell you but this show just isn't for you.
This is not a show that you start from the beginning on, because the first couple of seasons are really rough, and even the creators would tell you that.
3) having 10 minutes between any funny joke is boring
This is another reason why I think you made the mistake of starting from season one. By season 3, the jokes were rapid fire, and if one joke didn't land for you, you were getting hit with another one.
UHMMMMMMM YOU'RE NOT 40+ YEARS OLD SO YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS SHOW THAT ISN'T EVEN A SHOW IT'S JUST PROTOTYPE YOUTUBE REACTION SLOP CONTENT
MY FRIEND SIMULATOR IS SUPERIOR TO YOUR FRIEND SIMULATOR
Why is every Gen Xer like this?
Anon, I'm trying to sign these patent papers, can you please stop posting so much
but he came in as a writer after most of the pieces were in place
Soft disagree. He was already writing jokes for the show during the tail end of canonical (post KTMA) season 1 when Kevin replaced JEW, and Mike, in their own words, was a "wunderkind" so they made him head writer.
IT'S JUST PROTOTYPE YOUTUBE REACTION SLOP CONTENT
It's not this at all, retard.
>MY FRIEND SIMULATOR IS SUPERIOR TO YOUR FRIEND SIMULATOR
Nothing was a friend simulator until you faggots started donating money to these retards. People now say "Star Trek", "Friends" or "MST3K" are friend simulators when they aren't. They were just shows made to be enjoyed.
Didn't read
Literally no one said that, your HRT and SSRI's are just clashing again xir.
Yeah, you're right. I'm not giving Mike enough credit. What I meant was the concept of human+robots being shot into outer space and riffing on b-movies was done without Mike. Same with the host segments. When Mike came in the tracks were mostly laid down.
This was based
it was only ever good when the movie itself was good
Didn't read
Ok retard
"I didn't read it, but I clearly did because I'm posting a reply saying 'didn't read'."
Oh yeah, I totally agree with that.
Did not read
You're right, you should stick with the soiface reaction channels. That's definitely more your speed.
it was only ever good when the movie itself was good
It was hit or miss. You're essentially writing material around a pre-existing piece of film that wasn't popular to begin with. But lots of fans love eps that I don't love (see the Coleman Francis movies).
But usually the worse the movie was, the more gold they can get out of it.
It's a perfect argument
Anon "kys faggot" it's only an argument if you're a negro.
"DUDE, YOUTUBERS CAN MAKE BETTER JOKES".
I didn't claim that the jokes people make on YouTube are better, I say that people on YouTube are allowed to make more "controversial" jokes.
I'm just explaining why younger people usually prefer one thing over the other.
I think the word they're searching for is "parasocial relationship". People with no friends watch Friends and play Persona to mentally insert themselves into an established friend group. So they get the benefits of having a close knit circle without any of the emotional labor that goes into maintaining friendships. And this goes all the way back to advice columns and radio shows in the 1950s.
Joke's on you faggots I don't even know how to read. #rekt
YouTube are allowed to make more "controversial" jokes
Since fucking when?
He's literally having a melty because zoomers don't want to wait ten minutes between jokes
I just thought the show was funny. I know it's hard to believe on this site, but not everyone is a no-lifer.
I didn't claim that the jokes people make on YouTube are better
You: It's also very teamed so it doesn't come close to the jokes people on YouTube can make
Did you mean to say "TAME" instead of "teamed"?
I say that people on YouTube are allowed to make more "controversial" jokes.
So what? Not everything has to be le edgy. And MST3K made tons of fat jokes. You zoomers would have a heart attack and need a fucking zoom counseling session if you heard that today.
I'm just explaining why younger people usually prefer one thing over the other.
Young people are glued to tiktok and screaming chicken jockey and donating to streamers. Their opinions are invalid.
thread about one of the comfiest shows in existence
everyone is mad
My patent papers are at a slight angle, what's going on?!
Do you realize you can't take even the slightest criticism of the show without sperging out?
This is pure zoomer delusion. I never watched Seinfeld or MST3K and wanted to be part of that gang or that we were friends or some shit. It's fucking insane. Technology has rotted your brains. You literally see online people as your friends and donate money to them.
And this goes all the way back to advice columns and radio shows in the 1950s.
Not really. People have always liked entertainment and shows going back hundreds of years.
PANIC!!!
I'm just going to keep repeating the same lie about the show
I'm terribly sorry that the show actually requires you to engage with it and pay attention in order to understand the jokes. It's not the show's fault that your shit's burned out, and you have trouble focusing on anything for longer than 30 seconds.
Along those lines, I've noticed that zoomers have to have subtitles on all the time. What's that shit about?
It's legit amazing how Riding with Death, which was a failed 70s tv show and the 2 eps were cut together into 1 very disjointed movie is one of the best MST3K eps.
They/Them's having a melty because it thinks it's opinion matters and it doesn't at all
Times are changing faggot. The world has realized you vocal subhumans don't actually matter. Sorry!
You've yet to make any legitimate criticism.
Do you realize you can't take even the slightest criticism of the show without sperging out?
Not true, retard. There are lots of legit criticisms you can make. But zoomers just do the "THE SHOW IS DATED AND YOUTUBE REACTIONS ARE BETTER! IT'S JUST A FRIEND SIMULATOR"
Tiktok has rotted your brains.
You're*
No, "you've", as in "you have".
this post
lmao, the retard having a spergout is ESL
You're yet to make any legitimate criticism
Holy fuck
Am I the only one who randomly judges volume based on turkeys?
Good lord, a response from a normal human being.
Sorry if my English is a little shitty, I'm a sinner that is posting with the phone.
the first couple of seasons are really rough
Yeah a lot series have pretty boring early episodes.
that Abby, she sure is some gal, after all
Your*
Dumbass
I KNEW we were dealing with an ESL. Just go watch some other show you retarded brown piece of garbage. You don't understand it because it has nothing to do with your dogshit culture and when it does it makes fun of you brown retards.
THE SHOW IS DATED
Yes
YOUTUBE REACTIONS ARE BETTER
Yes
IT'S JUST A FRIEND SIMULATOR
Yes
Seethe more now
Perfect english
HURR YOU ARE DA ESL
You can stop now you fat retard.
Yes
It literally isn't.
Yes
So you like fake youtube overreactions just so they can get donations?
Yes
That would be your youtube shit. Go donate some more, faggot.
I'm wrong and I'm proud of it!
Okay. Not going to reply anymore.
Perfect english
can't even identify why someone would instantly call that post out as ESL
he's yet to do x
you're yet to do x
she's yet to do y
she have yet to do y
durrr how does I conjugate
let me go ask AI which will say one or both are correct depending on the prompt
Read a book
Melty status? Does baby need to boot up his Plex server again?
This is what Troy MacGregor thinks of all the MST3K haters in this thread.
told to seethe more
does so
Good dog
this nigga still think zoomers are gathering en masse to watch tv shows together too
Go ahead... We're all waiting for this english lesson.
lose argument
fall back on le seethe
Shouldn't you be smashing that donate button to some faggot streaming the newest microtransaction fest videogame?
The classic next step of these episodes is the paranoia, soon he'll start accusing everyone of being the same guy persecuting him.
joke's on him, my entire generation has no friends
In seriousness, what do you think college kids do in dorm rooms together--study?
this nigga still think zoomers are gathering en masse to watch tv shows together too
Literally who said such a thing, retard?
they missed out on drunken super smash competitions in their dorm room
F
if they're my age (31)
when they were in college they probably went to a party or two every week and then mostly stayed in playing video games, sometimes watching
if they're zoomers, they don't watch TV
at all, that is like the universal thing about zoomers, they don't watch tv or movies, they watch youtube and tiktok, and they aren't getting together to do that, unless you count discord
>they missed out on drunken super smash competitions in their dorm room
Uh, playing a video game is not the same as watching a TV show as the other anon said.
Did you mean to say "TAME" instead of "teamed"?
Oh shit. I wrote teamed? My bad.
So what? Not everything has to be le edgy.
Again, I'm not saying that this is a good or bad thing, but young people are naturally attracted to edgy stuff.
You zoomers would have a heart attack and need a fucking zoom counseling session if you heard that today.
Only women get offended by fat jokes, like it always have been.
Young people are glued to tiktok and screaming chicken jockey and donating to streamers. Their opinions are invalid.
Anon the thread is literally about how zoomers view MST 3000.
that's something people did in like 2013
you know zoomers aren't playing many video games, either, right?
Again, I'm not saying that this is a good or bad thing, but young people are naturally attracted to edgy stuff.
That's fucking stupid. Some of the best comedy isn't edgy.
Only women get offended by fat jokes, like it always have been.
Untrue. How you seen some of these onion faggots today?
Anon the thread is literally about how zoomers view MST 3000.
And I'm telling you why their opinions on MST3K are invalid because of their retarded viewing habits.
The idea that zoomers literally just sit at home watching TikTok is obvious hyperbole. I've had "watch parties" (actually just having some people over to hang out...) with zoomers and we watched Jersey Shore. Idk why people on this site act like everyone is a shut-in loser. 85% of the population acts the same way they always have.
dictionary.cambridge.org
"You have yet to..." is acceptable usage of those words, and "you've" is an acceptable contraction of "you have" as long as the "have" is an auxiliary verb in the sentence, which it is in this case, as "make" is the main verb.
Suck my fucking dick, you Dunning-Kruger faggot.
watched jersey shore
no you didn't, unless you're like 30 or older, which makes you not a zoomer
It's as hyperbolic to say that all zoomers do is watch tiktok and not have sex as it is to say millenials were all on ritalin or adderall and got useless college degress
It's not 100% true of course, captain autism, but it's still so true that it's all zoomers will be remembered for in 15 years so it might as well be all of you
this is called speaking generally, by the way
the dispute is over the contraction
better ask AI
how plonked are you right now bruh
Rifftrax is better
Not him but who the hell says "you are yet to...?" It's obvious you're a pajeet.
extremely narrow view is reasonable because I'm generalizing
How much longer are you going to perform mental gymnastics to avoid admitting that people have friends and socialize IRL
Jersey Shore is millennial.
How long are you going to keep ignoring that your generation's rates of doing that are notably lower than mine, or the one before mine
If you are 25 and having Jersey Shore watch parties with your friends, you're an outlier and statistically you don't matter
That's fucking stupid. Some of the best comedy isn't edgy.
Yes, it's stupid. Yes, the best comedy isn't edgy. But young people like edgy comedy, it's all I'm saying.
Untrue. How you seen some of these onion faggots today?
Faggots on social media doesn't represent real life.
And I'm telling you why their opinions on MST3K are invalid because of their retarded viewing habits.
Ok. Then I think you're in the wrong thread.
Bending the knee
It's like South Park changing the name of token to
tolkien. It's a way of changing the "offensive" word but still being able to call it by the same name
This is true, but because Mike, Kevin, and Bill still do low-budget crap like they would on MST3K, but can now also do real movies
I thought it was mostly enjoyable and sometimes funny when I was young, but now I just watch it at bedtime for about thirty seconds before I fall asleep.
But young people like edgy comedy, it's all I'm saying.
They also like faggots screaming at minecraft screens. Their opinions are invalid.
Faggots on social media doesn't represent real life.
But some of them exist, and yes they are offended by things that people were not offended by 30 years ago.
Ok. Then I think you're in the wrong thread.
No u. Fucking retard.
Hey, I know this is going to be some sort of inflammatory comment but... I love this show and I don't care what anyone of any age thinks about that. I'll watch it until the day I die, and it's my desert island show. I knew my wife was the one when she came over when we were dating and I put on Red Zone Cuba and she laughed so hard that she almost pissed her pants. I just don't care what any zoomer or anyone else thinks about it, it's a great show.
verb: to be
(In zoomerbonics: no translation; zoomers are not self aware)
third person, present tense: he is
(In zoomerbonics: he be)
second person, present tense: you are
(In zoomerbonics: you be)
To run
He runs
You run
To have
He has
You have
To be
He is
You are
Not it isn't. With Rifftrax they just riff with no rehearsal or writing (or maybe somebody else is writing it). It sounds so unnatural.
Is your whole world defined by TikTok clips? "GoT watch parties" were a thing but that's not what I'm referring to. Don't you chill with your friends?
You can watch literally anything. Download old episodes and have fun.
bruh we can't afford houses bruhhh
bruh we don't be going to college
friends? Bruhhhhhhh
You are legitimately wrong on every single thing you just posted.
That's perfectly acceptable grammar
Has the eternal question finally been answered?
Yes, thanks Rajeesh, but you're avoiding the actual case that's being discussed.
Examples:
You have provided.
What you have done.
What you have yet to do.
What *you've* (you+have) yet to do.
Back to English class with you.
You can watch literally anything. Download old episodes and have fun.
Zoomers don't do that. Consistently zoomers are tech illiterate fuckheads who don't know how to torrent things and/or ask on reddit if they can viruses from torrenting things.
Millenials downloaded things all the time, the 00s was a golden age of media piracy, and we were watching "old episodes" of things, because our generation watched TV, and had channels that showed reruns of things
Zoomers do not do that. That's it.
You're not watching TV. You're not watching movies. You're barely playing video games. You're not having sex. You missed on at least one full year of schooling. You probably think Pokimane is hot.
That's you.
I did not consult AI, I consulted both the link that I provided, and the Yale Grammatical Diversity Project.
ygdp.yale.edu
I say again, suck my dick, zoom zoom.
Imagine a fucking ESL brownoid subhuman lecturing you on grammar. "You've yet to" is perfectly fine holy shit
Lots of things are perfectly acceptable or technically correct grammar, but nobody actually talks like that.
What *you've* (you+have) yet to do.
Conjugate this to third person present tense without looking it up and explain your reasoning
I consulted the Grammatical Diversity Project
Yeah, and I'm sure you learned common core math, too.
MST3k are suck
so buttblasted he's trying to falseflag as a pajeet now
I don't believe for a second you're a native English speaker if you've never heard anyone say "You/I have yet to do..." showing possession of and/or intent to commit an action in the future. Just ask your English teacher next time you're in class, Rajeesh.

Looks like something my uncle would put on and look at me whenever a punchline was coming up to see if I would laugh or not, no thank you.

You're (you+are) mad
You+are retarded
kek, we all went through that moment, I got lucky that my father has good taste in humour.
Ehh… your implication that the job market sucked for both generations is true… but nobody decides not to go to college based on their observations of another generation. That’s to confuse human nature. Zoomers aren’t doing things due to complacency and laziness and woe is me bullshit which is something that plagues my fellow Mill to this day.
The really sad thing about zoomers is that all the ones who aren’t rich don’t have a chance and the ones that are rich will just continue to ride the gravy train.
its reddit
he didn't have any positive male influence family members that made sure he didn't turn into a faggot with bad taste
pre-written material intended to be funny vs some 20 year old girl going "wait, whaaat?" every 30 seconds
yep; exactly the same
People do talk like that
Please learn banter, you're not supposed to reasonably de-escalate the other user's attitude, you're supposed to, like, insinuate he has erectile disfunction, or that he's balding due to his age, or something, and then double down on the point you were trying to make before. Zoomies are such wet blankets. That's the biggest unifying trait I've noted between you guys.
at best: jumped into a conversation got lumped in with at least one person who posted twice
at worst: mad as heck
synthesis: there is a 60% probability that this poster is either a Reddit user, has brown nipples, or both
To be fair, he did use the word "trannoid"
Who gives a fuck what zoomers think?
...watch out for snakes.
This guy had like 2 on screen acting credits (he was mostly theater) and one of them is was one of the most iconic comedic performances ever. RIP bro
"Rowsdower, will you put out my head"
This show was written by midWestern boomers. The only blacks they ever encountered before moving to California were the ones they saw on ROOTS. I love classic MST3K but the endless White guilt gets very annoying once you begin to notice it.
Holy shit is that a scene of Caucasian teenagers in a black and white movie? Just existing? Or maybe unconsciously enjoying that special feeling of safety and well-being that only comes with knowing there are no blacks around? Don't worry, Kevin Murphy's got a dozen jokes about the Nazi Youth ready to go!
It's amusing the first couple of times, but Tom Servo screaming HITLER! at the screen over and over gets real old real fast. And yeah, there might have been an argument about Mike vs. Joel before the reboot, but given it's insufferably shitty LA writing, embarrassing performances, and Joel cucking to any woke suggestions from his DEI writing team, our lil' cheese curd from Wisconsin wins top host spot, now and forever.
Being a tranny is an automatic loss, no matter how it is said.
Holy shit, shut the fuck up you "Kekistani" t-shirt wearing tier fucking homo.
Awful big talk from a they/them that just jerked off xir's dog. You will never be a woman.
You're better than punching down like this, anon
I was molested and people laughed at me so now I'm gay
That fits.
I hung out with my friend
ha! gaaayyy!
my uncle showed me attention
you must've been molested
Why are you people like this?
I'm smarter than you ever will be, and you can't handle that fact.
Nope, all trannies and subhumans should fucking die. Being honest isn't punching down, it's telling the truth.
You're a fucking faggot. The end.
Yeah you're right
Wait, no- Fuck you! Your penis is small or something. You almost tricked me there.
Agreed. It was my favorite show growing up and now I can't watch it anymore. It's not in every episode but its often enough that I can't just look past it.
I've watched maybe a dozen rifftrax eps and didn't notice anything like that, so I don't know how true it is of that too.
Nope, all trannies and subhumans should fucking die. Being honest isn't punching down, it's telling the truth.
This energy is better spent elsewhere. Unless you're just chilling and talking shit, but you really don't need this on your resume regardless.
Extraordinarily cringe Gen X slop and a favorite of the paleoredditors on usenet.
Do people still post on Usenet?
You're mentally ill
Ah, I love it too much to ever stop watching it. I just imagine Kevin Murphy getting stabbed in the balls by some Somalian in a Minnesota shopping mall parking lot every time I hear Tom Servo screech something about goosesteeping.
A fair compromise. Maybe I'll try out your technique.
I watched my 1st episode with Joel way back in the early 90's and still like him the best over Mike but it's close. Mike is really good as well. I just prefer Joels kind of "bored stoner" kind of take on his situation, makes some of his jokes just land different.
The fact that you even know what USEnet is puts you in the same category you apparently deride.
kill yourself
