I initially read this like something a random person with crazy eyes would say to me in the grocery store and then I realized what you were talking about. You easily out-acted anyone else in this production!
The film went so overbudget that they had to shoot it on videotape instead of filmstock to offset the cost. This had the unintended side effect of making a decent HD remaster nearly impossible.
@@JosephEvermore No, the pinnacle of video quality is that ad for laserdisc, where Leonard Nimoy tells a beeping rock "Yes, I can understand you! I'm Leonard Nimoy!"
I was looking up the Novicorp Chairman to see if he was in anything else and... well yeah he was. A little film called Blue Velvet. And Tooby? He's been in a TON of stuff. Both movies and TV. This was one of his first roles.
This movie was so cozy (the PBS feeling) and interesting to me (the technological movie making) that I looked up the original as well. It was 1983, which was extremely early for the kind of computer special effects it has. To put that in perspective it was the same year as Return of the Jedi, and only one year after Tron.
I'm pretty convinced that what Raul Julia was trying to say was "am I nuts?" In relation to seeing his dead mom, but he breathed in too hard on the A so it sounded like "m I nuts?"
I think the funniest thing about this movies premise is that, you have an advanced society that can put consciousness into a simulation and yet, they keep track of their unconscious folks with oversized index cards. As though they wouldn't have any other way to put what program Fingal was in DESPITE having plenty of data about his dead mom and his 'rebellious' nature of watching movies.
It's a strange movie. It attempts have a serious deep message, and then you have kids with mustard hands grabbing brains while Edith Bunker performs brain surgery.
1:17:05 Crow, with one of my Favorite lines: You know, 'Eraserhead'* is easier to Follow than this movie! 'Eraserhead was one of the early, 'Opus' of insanity From David Lynch. The creator of 'Twin Peaks. Blue Velvet, Mullholland drive. If your a young, aspiring, Filmmaker, you really should see that effed up film. Enjoy!!
Fun Fact: If you're an 80's kid, you might be interested to know that the boy who played Marco, AKA"The Littlest Sexual Deviant" the one who switched the tags was Hadley Kay, who played Nicholas in The first Care Bears movie and Dark Heart in the second one.
54:11 Best part of the movie, and prolly one of my all-time favorite moments in the entire series. Kevin making Bill laugh, who tries to cover it by pretending to cough. "bough-hah-HUUUHHH-HUUHHHHH!".
This movie seems hoaky but it's actually a very mundane modern tale. Raul's real age, and the character graduating in '97, means he was playing a 42 year old in the distant future world of...2022. So, he's a 42 year old dude working a sh***y corporate desk job who complains about the zoomers around him who don't watch "cinema". He gets in trouble for watching movies on the clock so he's forced to go on leave. He goes home and plays an MMO for the next week without leaving the house, while being an edgelord towards women and fat people the entire time. He finally leaves the house when he matches with a woman online.
27:30 Feels like the early days of the internet (as we know it). I think you were technicality able to contact another user & make text heavy web pages. But I was referring to people watching and show their Coworker, something they found, like cat videos and Rick Ashley. lol
I assume Aram Fingal is the name of Puerto Ricans in the future, just like Captain Sisko has a Slavic name. Besides, they somehow got Raul Julia; of course they're going to try to use his talents to save this picture.
If we're talking Star Trek the gold standard is a man with clear British English accent speaking American English while trying to make us believe he's French. I've always just assumed that in the future languages are way more "cross-pollinated" lol
Oh, it's the Jake ghihoolinhaul movie where he thinks he's a helicopter pilot, but he's actually just a brain. Pptv lol That song was better than modern music.
I'm the little girl with the mustard hands!! ❤
I hope you learned your lesson about wiping your hands. 😆
Nnnnnooooooooooo!!
Wait, really? That's awesome.
I initially read this like something a random person with crazy eyes would say to me in the grocery store and then I realized what you were talking about. You easily out-acted anyone else in this production!
Please don't touch my brain until I'm un-doppled. 💜
I can still remember rolling on the floor unable to breathe watching this for this first time on a VHS tape. Thank you for all the laughs MST3K!
It's no Mole Men.
This movie was the beginning of my life-long hatred of anteaters
Pearl's love song gets stuck in my head a lot more than I'd like to admit.
Get your flav-o-fives ready for the Fingal Dopple...
Don't Bungle or Bobble it!
I prefer some Pringles, Fingal.
@@ObiWanBillKenobi are you single? Let's mingle, give me a jingle...
He's dabbling in doppling.
@@BrianYapleOfficial We can all mingle, Yaple. Gimme a jingle, I'll bring the Pringles.
I swear they were writing the script to this movie on a scene to scene basis
And the actors weren't allowed to read it.
I can't believe this episode flew under my radar for so long. It's everything I needed 30 years ago too!!! 😂
The single best episode of MST3K
Definitely a Mount Rushmore episode
I go back and forth between this one and Space Mutiny
It's a popular opinion. I Love it too but favorite ever? Are you saying, all-time or just Mike era?
Cheers
@@Pocketrocket-pj1us all time. I almost died laughing watching this the first time. Plus the movie is actually good, which is rare.
For me, it's between this one and Parts: The Clonus Horror. Actually, I think Overdrawn and Clonus are enjoyable enough without the commentary.
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank! YEEESSSSSS!!!!!!
Terrific episode! Riffs are so fantastic in this one!
Also, the Public Pearl segments are among my top favorites of the Sci-Fi era!
Mary Jo's song (feat Bill) is so gd hilarious in this ep
I want it played at my wedding reception, and I am not joking.
The "You Know You Want Me, Baby!" Crow T-shirts became an actual merchandise item and my brother bought one. 👕😀
The film went so overbudget that they had to shoot it on videotape instead of filmstock to offset the cost. This had the unintended side effect of making a decent HD remaster nearly impossible.
You mean VHS wasn't the pinnacle of video quality? Can't they just turn the tracking wheel a little bit?
@@JosephEvermoreyou sound like someone with a 4k addiction
@@JosephEvermore No, the pinnacle of video quality is that ad for laserdisc, where Leonard Nimoy tells a beeping rock "Yes, I can understand you! I'm Leonard Nimoy!"
Haha I am in this movie and I didn't know that!
@@SnepperStepTV I don't own any 4K displays. It was a joke.
I was looking up the Novicorp Chairman to see if he was in anything else and... well yeah he was. A little film called Blue Velvet.
And Tooby? He's been in a TON of stuff. Both movies and TV. This was one of his first roles.
No matter what my mood, Tom’s coughing after 54:50 always makes me laugh to the point of tears.
I love scrolling this cinema at work
I've INTERFACED! 🎉
Initiate Harpo hair.
Yes, wonderful but what does that mean?
;)
I still shout this out once a month at inappropriate times

Gonna reconst my flavo fibe for this movie.
Fingal: I learned about IdentiCubes when I was six stupid!
Crow: Lucy!! 😂
The riffs never miss here!
A priceless gem if there ever was one.
Am I about to get my fingle doppled?
I put it to you all, that "I'll see you on the dark side of Raoul" is one of the greatest lines in MST3k
Christmas on The Borg Cube
Pearl is a good singer. 😮
Seen this one many times. It's one of the best
Have I said thank you lately for all the fun these videos bring me?
Right up there with Prince of Space, Riding with Death and and Mitchell for my favorites.
Mitchell, Space Mutiny, and Manos: Hands of Fate were my favorite!
Once again, for your dining and dancing pleasure, a fan favorite MST3K episode! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Still one of my absolute favorite eps. :D
MY NUTS!
35:37 for anyone who wants a shortcut to this absurd, out-of-left-field line.
I'm pretty convinced that what Raul Julia was trying to say was "am I nuts?" In relation to seeing his dead mom, but he breathed in too hard on the A so it sounded like "m I nuts?"
This is one of the funniest episodes from start to finish.
Look, this move might be crappy, but at least it's not a FILTHY ANTEATER.
I just caught Servo saying “I’m different” in the opening credits.😂
How about some Pringles
Isn't it weird how life imitates art, and I'm like, sleepin' right now too!
The movie opening credits looked like a corporate training video, and then the movie itself looked like the same thing, especially the acting.
It is sooooo bad.
I remember I had that Crow shirt. I used to wear it all the time.
I think the funniest thing about this movies premise is that, you have an advanced society that can put consciousness into a simulation and yet, they keep track of their unconscious folks with oversized index cards. As though they wouldn't have any other way to put what program Fingal was in DESPITE having plenty of data about his dead mom and his 'rebellious' nature of watching movies.

The PBS thing makes me nostalgic. Let’s make season 14! With even more episodes! 💚
I'm so excited I've got lots of butter for my ham and I'm gonna doppel my way through one of my favorite episodes.
RIP LINDA GRIFFITHS (Apolonia)
this movie was funny AF! ,❤😂 love their comments during the movie 🤣👍
I remember seeing this movie on PBS channel 8 out of Houston.
1:17:05
Crow, with one of my Favorite lines:
You know, 'Eraserhead'* is easier to Follow than this movie!
'Eraserhead was one of the early, 'Opus' of insanity From David Lynch. The creator of 'Twin Peaks. Blue Velvet, Mullholland drive.
If your a young, aspiring,
Filmmaker, you really should see that effed up
film.
Enjoy!!
When my fingal is going away fast I can hear a dopple shift
It's so funny to be watching it being an adult. And trying to compare my emotions today with that of a child...
I remember it impressed me back then.
I would pay the big bucks for a "you know you want me, baby!" Crow t-shirt. This has become a need.
Lover of loving love!

“Please, I can see your little Fingal.”
I'm enjoying some cheese flavoured biscuits!
23:34: Surely, this will cure him of his love of cinemas!
Hey, I can sing too! And now you find yourself in ‘82….
One of my favorites.
27:30

This is my favorite episode
My favorite ep. I wish they would reboot this movie
It actually has potential as a premise. It was just horrendously executed.
@@mjjoe76 i mean, the Matrix already executed it properly
I'd settle for a Rifftrax version
You need your rehab Fingle!
"Pork delivery late!!!"
😅😅😅hilarious classic
One of my favorites! 🌟
Getting fat on flavoflives
After the events of this movie Fingal would get corrupted by power, build an evil organization named Shadaloo, and change his name into M.Bison.
Was Fingeling doppeling??
Fingelnling-dinggling??
He never seemed like the type to dopple...
Fingeln dinking dinko?

“hey I really wanna watch nature documentary footage narrated by Raul Julia!”
*finger on the monkey’s paw curls inward*
Doppel my Fingal!
omg I remember DYING at the cocaine everywhere joke
The man who played the Barney-sounding guy was also Uncle Brownie in _Reservation Dogs._
That MPR news dig at the beginning. Only this show could do that nonsense lol.
classic episode
Have you thought of remastering these episodes to 4k?
I so wish I could have one of those Crow "You Know You Want Me Baby!" T-Shirts!
Fun fact, this movie inspired The Matrix.
Prove it
Very Written-By-Scientology vibe to the psychist scenes
1:16:40 was hilarious, dammit. This is one of the most confusing movies ever.
I seem to have died, is that OK?
Anyone else think this just could be the original inspiration for The Matrix?
“My name is…Appalonia Jane.”
(Sorry, I forgot for a second)
Oh, it's the Jake ghihoolinhaul movie where he thinks he's a helicopter pilot, but he's actually just a brain.
Pptv lol
That song was better than modern music.
Well, now I understand why John Varley wrote "Demon."
I bet no one ever scrolls up THIS cinema 😂😂😂
Dear god this narrator makes Matthew Broderick from Thief and the Cobbler sound restrained.
Animals are Beautiful People... aren't they? heh
Mom what are you doing here, why are you not Puerto Rican is a wild question
As soon as he hacked the weather it started raining where I live
So what, did Raul Julia lose a bet or something?
Hoooray for sox
I legit want to know what happened to this world that made people just FORGET about movies.
Fingal you are mine!
soon to become Gomez Adams
when did the memory bank come in to play?
So he's gonna turn into an animal? I wonder if he'll choose a bison?
Is it sexy?
Now i.see where they got the idea for total recall for only this is the crack head no recall movie
The Sequel to this movie is called Fingal Got fingered
Ah yes! The most Anti of Ant Eater movies ever created. Truly shameful.
