It's all about Puma Man!

The Manos one has already been mentioned, but the short with it, "Hired! Part II" has some hilarious moments as well.

Nothing beat the days of it being a new concept, and my sis bringing over tapes to watch she'd recorded off cable. I remember one being extremely weird, I think it was Jack Frost, and so funny that at the time I watched it, I sprayed some pop at one point because I was in the middle of drinking it, and almost did it again a second time later.

The short on Cheating was hilarious.

There's also one ep/movie that involved a monkey toy. Whenever it clashed its cymbals together something bad would happen. Loved that one.

EDIT: Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders. That's the one.

And Mike Nelson still regularly records MST3K-style audio commentaries for classic films on DVD (Night of the Living Dead, Reefer Madness, Carnival of Souls).

Has anyone listened to these? I totally love Mike Nelson's Movie Megacheese and Mind Over Matters books.

Yeah, in the era of cheap reality TV, a show like MST3K would be too tough to greenlight.

Does anyone know what sort of budget the show actually ran on? I know they didn't exactly go overboard on sets and special effects, but I have very little frame of reference for how much the cast/crew were getting, as well as the rights to the old movies. Seems like they could get a decent season in for the price of an episode or two of a big budget sci-fi show.

I'm watching Pod People right now and I'm dying to know this too! Funny how references you don't even get can still be funny.

It's from the old TV show McCloud...http://imdb.com/title/tt0065317/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnxteD0yMHxsbT01MDB8dHQ9MXxmYj11fHBuPTB8cT1tY2Nsb3VkfGh0bWw9MXxubT0x;fc=1;ft=47;fm=1

Nobody's mentioned it yet but, "The Incredibly Strange Creatures That Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies" is a classic. Also Parts:The Clonus Horror, Werewolf and Hobgoblins were great. Hangar 18 (a KTMA episode!) is actually pretty good too.

Yeah, Parts: The Clonus Horror is another great one ("I like mittens!"), and seems to be the primary source material for The Island.
