I honestly like Mike a lot more than Joel. I guess it's because when I started watching MST3k, it was when Mike was hosting. I had no clue Joel was the original host on the SOL till years later. I'm not saying Joel isn't good, he's awesome. But I still like the riffs done by Mike and the bots.
I definitely like Mike better, but like Marc above, I started watching MST3K when Mike was the host. I hard a hard time with the transition back to watching the shows with Joel. I always had a hard time understanding the "invention exchange." Just never clicked with me. I love Pearl Forester and Bobo and Brain Guy!
The first several episodes I watched featured Joel. I laughed, I enjoyed it, but I loved Mike so much more. His relationship with the bots really worked better, at least I thought. Plus Nelson in my eyes is, I wouldn't say funnier...but maybe his delivery is more amusing? Something like that.
I'm a mike nelson guy myself.. To me he is funnier than Joel... Joel had some good episodes, but overall I enjoy the mike nelson episodes better. Also, I like the guy who voices Crow during seasons 8-10 MUCH more than the previous crow (trace)

He just added more energy to the show as Joel had a sleepy I am getting tired voice but he did have his moment's been a fan of both but Mike's my dude! Its sad how not too many people know about MST3K. There were time's were I would be stressed about something and these guys always cheer me up.
That girl from the short was dense as all get out. Your parents actually offer to buy you and your 3-month boyfriend with shaky job prospects a fucking HOUSE if you just wait a single year?? Hell I'd wait for 5 more years if it meant I got a house out of the deal!
Seriously. If things end up working out with your boyfriend of THREE MONTHS, you have a house you can share with him, which is gonna be a hell of a lot harder to do on your own with his dubious football prospects. If not, you still have a goddamn house.
i'm fond of the movie as a movie. They had no budget, but they manage to have a plot, a tiny bit of mystery, escalating tension, people to root for. The leads aren't horrible actors. They got a lot right, and I forgive them the shortcomings that the lack of money cost. Also, they did one heck of a lot with a single song!

As a matter of fact, _MST3K_ creator Joel Hodgson went on to make a TV movie about teenagers - namely an infamous one about six friends being sucked into the internet titled _Web Surferz,_ which in turn spawned the Canadian cartoon sitcom _6teen._
Fun fact: the amount of time between the release of Teenage Strangler (1964) and this MST3K episode was 30 years, the same length of time between this episode and now (2024).
Aagh! I wasn't paying full attention and thought the "Is This Love?" public service film was part of Teenage Strangler. I kept wondering when the young suitor was going to strangle her.
