Pod People: #11 on my 'MST3K Funniest Episodes' playlist

- Narrated by I.P. Freely. Pod People finally made the list, and perhaps well overdo as this is one of the more classic episodes with Joel and the Bots who seemed to have a fun time riffing to this very silly film about long nosed aliens who just wanted to make friends, but dare cross them and pay the price with your life. This episode got a much deserved longer edit, and should probably also deserve a higher spot on the list, but I can always change the order in the future. This list though is ranked mostly on jokes and is why there have been more Mike episodes than Joel as the writing arguably got better as the seasons went on, though season 3 has some all time classics, three of which are already on this list (with more coming). Keep an eye out for #20 coming as soon as tomorrow (took a bit of a break after the Rifftrax Monstrosity edit), and in the coming days look for the best of episodes 11 thru 20 (and if you haven't checked it out yet be sure to watch the best of episodes 1 thru 10 in the playlist).
*I changed Pod People to #13 and switched it with Escapee 2000 which is now #19.
What’s your third favorite MST3K episode or don’t you have one?
@@jbvideos6605 It was Final Sacrifice but it got taken down along with every other upload of it, that's why you can't find that episode at all on TH-cam anymore :(
@@wileyschmitt That sucks; maybe Gizmoplex will have it available (or other places)
Oh, so THIS is where that “👌 It stinks!” joke started from...
"Do you know how to play, Trumpy? What do you know?" "Food. Eating. The theater."
“Okay, you’ve drawn Siegfried, now where is Roy?”
The funniest part for me is Gypsy singing on the "Burn'n Rubber Tires" song.
I love Joel. I love the Bots. I love Mike. I love TVs Frank, Doctor Forrester, Pearl, Bobo and Observer. I love MST3k!
But! There is one reason why Joel is my favorite “experiment”: how he physically messes with the movie scenes (2:12 - 2:15 for example). It never ceases to crack me up!
Mike did it, too, but not as much. But that’s okay, he’s still amazing too!
Yeah Joel had just bit more fun overall.
Including the mega hit "Idiot Control Now".
That skit is pure gold!
I nominate "Idiot Control Now" as the worst song in any movie, ever!
Nah, its saving grace is that the tune is catchy and upbeat. It’s the lyrics, whatever they are, that are awful.
Ohhhhh I don’t know yipe stripes was pretty bad
With a pickle mind
We kicked the nipple beers
Steady as it go
We're flying over trout
Ghetto down the highway
At the speed of light
All I wanna feel now is the wind in my eyes
Sack of monkeys in my pocket
My sister's ready to go
Hear the engines roll now
Idiot control now
Hideous control now
Ninny on the road now
Middy in control
Wheels on fire
Burnin' rubber tires
Bridge
Leery jelly rolls now
Hitty as they go now
Nitty inches bow down
Pity in a po' boy
Hiddy inches roll
Bees on pie
Burnin' rubber tires
"sack of monkeys in my pocket
my sister's ready to go...
Always cracked me up when he'd get up to look inside an actor's mouth on-screen.
It stinks !!
The host segment was just so funny in this one. It always made me laugh out loud, even more so than the movie riffing.
13:40 is so great!!!
Opening credits actually have footage from the beginning of Galaxy Invader. I believe Film Ventures, INC did that a lot..
Steve P agreed rifftrax later made fun of it😍
I think this is the only one of those top episode countdown vids that has a host segment in it and thank god it does. Idiot control is best host song ever
Sack of monkeys in my pocket!
My sister's ready to go!
Idiot control now!
Hear the engines roll now
Beans on pie!
Burning rubber tires!
"It's called evil kid." 😂👍
"Trumpy is a friend to all children!"
Yes, hear the engines roar now indeed.
This was my first episode of MSK3!
The "Time Bubble" live show missed an obvious reference to this movie when the toys in "Making Contact" started going haywire. I wonder if it was a deliberate omission since "Trumpy" might have different connotations in the post-2016 world.
It's a good job they had a woman dub the little boy's lines. They might have had a real stinker on their hands if they hadn't saved the day with that one.
The LA cop line has slain me.
This dud was a Spanish-French Sci-fi movie called "The New Extraterrestrials".
They really should have done more with the “ I’m a Virgin” guy
It does seem like they cut part of the movie out at that point, and you can see that him and the producer guy have some dialogue that we can't hear as Joel and the Bots are leaving the theater.
Frank wearing that shirt is what sells the host segment for me.
I wonder if they thought it would be too obvious to poke fun at him.
Story of that guy's life.
He went on to star in "Absolutely Nothing".
Cheap is when a movie 'borrows' special effects from a TV show (Space: 1999) instead of a movie.
If these guys get any more soul we will have to order out for some more greens.
My favorite unriffed-upon thing in this dog is that all the young women look alike enough to be sisters, but no one seems to notice. (See also: *Deathstalker* , where the "sisters" and Baldy's mistress all look like they could be related, too.)
I think the teen girl and the cop in Angels' Revenge actually were played by sisters.
Hello Amy 👋
LA cop, oh I'm screaming "Rodney King!" like the mailman in Jingle All the Way
*McCloud*
My sister watched her VHS VCR copy 90 times a year. REALLY!
its where i break you in haaaalf
It's the Iron Maiden dude!
Funniest episode ever made it's my favorite episode☃😍🍿
**sigh..total waste of a studer a80 mk2 16 track and A80 2 track 1/4" and all for this frizzy haired fool...the horror! XP
It stinks. WE AGREE!
Omg 20 seconds in and I'm laughing
Idiot control now rocks!!!
It needs a dubstep version to fully express the organic soul inherent to the song in its original iteration.
Missing “oh, this Morrissey”
I love this episode along with potatoes and the theater.
FOOD.
25:43 Why is there a picture of Reagan in the cabin?
Ha! Good find, and right next to a poster of a horse.
'Cause it's the 80s... do a lot of coke and vote for Ronald Reagan.
HAZZAH
John tesh! Yanni!
Salute to Perry Como
His rooms becoming a disco
It's the ABC movie of the week
Here hold my purse
Smuckers peroxide
Cleanup in aisle seven
What is he, an LA cop
Norm Abrams
Sam. Son of Sam.
I'm doing a one man show...
3M today!
Hey it's Greg Brady
It stinks we agree!
Hezzah!
If these guys get anymore soul, we'll have to order greens
That sing-along!!!
McCloud!
Chief?
How did footage from "Galaxy Invader" get in the intro montage?
You can do stupid things!
Little potatoes
It stinks!
I can’t finish this one
Is that because it's too funny or do you not like this particular episode? I'm just curious is all.
Hamlet and final justice are the only two I couldn’t finish
Wait...was season 2 of Stranger Things influences by this?

The helium voice kid is both annoying and puzzling. This movie has such poor quality that I can't tell if it's a voice over with an adult dubbing the voice or the kids really sounds like that.
The production was out of Spain if memory serves.
This was the best role by any actor ever. Donald Trunk delivers a master class in acting that will be initiated for eons. You can't deny that fact you smug liberals. 😂
It stinks!!!!.
