I’m not too sure when or how I stumbled upon Mystery Science Theater, I just remember being pretty young but
knowing right away that MST3K wasn’t just funny as hell, but that it was smart funny. And don’t get me wrong, there’s a time and a place for stupid-funny too; I enjoy watching a man get his head stuck in a cupboard as much as the next guy. But MST3K is a certain addictive humor. And really, what’s better than talking shit about someone else’s great failure of a life’s work? If you’ve never seen MST3K, go buy a few DVD’s, crack open a beer, and watch some dude and his two robot friends make smartass remarks about horrible b-films. Wait, that description sounds terrible.
Look, there’s no way to describe a man and robots in a way that doesn’t make me or the show look completely fucking retarded. You’re just going to have to trust me on this one.
By the way, Mike was a better host than than that too-awkward to be on camera shitbag Joel. I’m completely baffled that so many people disagree. Regardless, Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Mike or Joel era) makes me happy.

I’ve actually never seen a whole show, but I’ve always wanted to. Just this week I ordered about 10 episodes and the movie from Netflix. I plan to subject my kids to it this weekend.
you just wrote this hoping someone will click and order from your amazon link, huh?
I’ll be rich!
actually I’m pretty sure those links don’t work with search result pages anyway, so my efforts are fruitless.
