Let's be honest, I only came back to this segment because it was recommended to me on a certain MST3K quote no one on TH-cam ever bothered to upload except myself. th-cam.com/video/oAX3HJorCBo/w-d-xo.html
To this day, whenever I beat my brothers in cards or video games I start yelling, "It's my Will not yours, I've got the keys to the kingdom, I, ME, MINE, I'M THE GOD, I'M THE GOD!"
I'll never forget how in the MST3K book they stated that this sketch almost had them in severe threat of being sued & they went and did it anyway....hilarious.
Being British, I had never heard of Orville Redenbacher before this. I watched the episode the other year and thought 'umm...ok, they're being a granddad and grandson making popcorn and it all goes wrong. It's quite funny I guess.' Only when reading the mst3k wiki two days later did I discover what this was about. Then a few months later I watched a broadcast edition of the Pumaman, and an Orville Redenbacher commercial cropped up in one of the breaks. Now I fully get it.,
Me too. Quite a few specifically U.S. references pass me by with my being English, but it doesn't matter, it was still one of the smartest, funniest, weirdest things ever. Nothing in the UK could touch it, yet I never got to see a single episode until they appeared on YT. I still bless that day!!
@@thedativecase9733 I saw three episodes on the sci fi channel when house sitting for someone back in 2000. Then the movie when Itv showed it in 2003. Then I never got to see it again till I got to netflix in 2018, found the new version and the episodes of the original that were there at the time. When I finished all those I was desperate and went to you tube hoping against hope. Wished I'd realised before then how much old tv is on you tube. It's been quite a journey ever since. A while back when doing a you gov survey it asked me the question 'how do you rate these sports teams?' several of them. On a scale from one to five or love to hate. And one of them just happened to be the green bay packers. So I put love. At the end of the survey where it had a box for your comments on the survey experience I put in there 'Packers win the Superbowl! Woo! Go Packers!' Which probably meant nothing to whoever at you gov read my comment. But it was fun.
Some of the best Servo sketches are the ones where he has stuff in his head or literally loses it! It's sort of both in this sketch. Classic! I'm surprised the Redenbacher didn't sue the hell out of these guys!
That's amazing. I never thought of this as any defamation of character. I've always seen it as the same bad dream many of us likely had in response to repeatedly viewing the advertisements so darned much.
Fun Fact: This sketch was almost subjected to a lawsuit from the Orville Redenbacher popcorn company until the MST3K writers dropped all references to them.
My brother & I watched Godzilla vs. Megalon together not too long ago. Boy, was it a heavenly gift - this segment especially. 2:02 for "I'm the God! *_I'M_* the God!"
Even though this is essentially a sketch with the Bots taking something and giving it a very dark turn, it's an efficient commercial and I'm now hungry for some popcorn. :p
Ironically he died of a heart attack in his Jacuzzi, which is one of the most lavish ways to die, especially for someone who cultivated an image of being a dork.
@SUPERMEDIABROTHERS6 I'm hoping they cameo in the new movie, which will focus on the Muppets trying to save the Muppet Theatre, which is where the original show took place. If the film includes a scene where they take auditions for new acts the bot's will likely appear there. But to be perfectly honest with you, I actually want to see puppets from other Jim Henson productions cameo in that movie, especially any of the characters from The Dark Crystal or Farscape, those were great productions.
Wait... how is Servo the grandchild, if they are forbidden to be with women because of science... you gotta have a women's to have a child and then a grandchild...
Comedy Central owes their very existence to these guys, never forget that.
They certainly forgot it
Not South Park, MST3K
"I've got the keys to the kingdom! I, me, mine, I'm the God, I'M THE GOD!"

The "I'm the God" quote is from a UFO religion called RAMPTHA. Sherly McClain was quoted as saying this while running into the ocean in California.

And then their lawyers told them they were just at as much risk of lawsuits as before. MST3K had real stones.
I love how it turns into this sinister family dynamic with popcorn as the focal point!
The new MST3K will never be this funny.
I love how Tom Servo has popcorn in his head.
How did I miss that?!
i just noticed this after 30 years....
I like how this has nothing to do with Godzilla vs. Megalon.
The original "llama petting zoo / no matches for Mikey" skit.
If DUCKTALES were a CW show, this is how Uncle Scrooge and the nephews would interact.
Anyone who was around back then knows exactly how accurate this was, those commercials were a bit disturbing :D
This was accurate? Dayum 😂😂😂
@@NFSBeast2365 It really was, there were commercials with the man and his grandkid. Craziness!
@@kirk1968 orville reddenbocker
This is even funnier now that Gary really did disappear into the night after Orville's death.

They were VERY close to doing just that until they've decided to drop the reference to him!
Sweet fruit juices anointing their bodies...
I still want one.
Lesbomarx Want one as in a Tom Servo replica and Crow replica, I have both
So, you want replicas of the bots, drenched in Fruitopia?...hmm...*backs away slowly*
But corn isn't fruit. CORN IS GRASS!
@@greenmonsterprod Shouldn't the "members of the weaker sex" be anointed with that "squeeze butter" goo they use at movie theaters, then?
Servo is basically cosplaying as Dr. Larry Erhardt.
You remember when Servo WAS Dr Larry Erhardt?
@@hamursh yes
For some reason, I keep laughing hysterically whenever Crow says "buddy".
This is the funniest sketch they did. I love the old Crow with glasses
Helps to have experienced a dysfunctional family
Anyone else flash back to this skit whenever you see Orville Redenbacher? Just me?
That's amazing. I never thought of this as any defamation of character. I've always seen it as the same bad dream many of us likely had in response to repeatedly viewing the advertisements so darned much.
True
"Buddy, you're gonna disappear into the night right now if you don't shut up"
Easily one of the Top Five Host Segments ever made by MST3K!
Fun Fact: This sketch was almost subjected to a lawsuit from the Orville Redenbacher popcorn company until the MST3K writers dropped all references to them.
Seriously? That makes it even funnier.
@@revk8611 What's even better about that fact is that even though they dropped the references, they were STILL at risk of being sued. XD
I've got the keys to the kingdom
I'M THE GOD! *I'M THE GOD!!*

GOOD - where you're going, you'll be eating a lot of cheese! GOVERNMENT cheese!!
IVE GOT THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM
IM THE GOD
IM THE GOOOOOD
I'm A God, not THE God!
@@hamurshNo, it's "I'm the god!" This is a reference to an old Twilight Zone episode,"The Little People".
I already know that stupid!
I HATE YOU!!! I ALWAYS HATED YOU!!!!
I HATE YOU!!!! I’VE ALWAYS HATED YOU!!!!!!!!
I relish the thought nightly, nightly do you hear me nightly!
Well that took a dark turn
Even though this is essentially a sketch with the Bots taking something and giving it a very dark turn, it's an efficient commercial and I'm now hungry for some popcorn. :p
orville came from my hometown in indiana we had a popcorn festival to remember him
Popcorn is a cut-throat business!
🗡️ 🔪
I was specifically searching for this clip and found it! ALWAYS funny no matter how many times I see it!

Trace is my favorite.
this made me hungry for popcorn for some weird reason
Crow... Servo... You're going off the prompter.
LMAO!!!!!
Parading up-n-down the rows of our high yield super cheap double whammy ganga-ganga corn!
~JSV
I just scored a jar of Orville's white popping kernels at a Bargain Hunt store that products gets a bit cheaper each week, non GMO too.
What do you care? You can't afford it, you're flat busted.
“Orville Redenbacher - don’t ask questions about us, shut up and eat the popcorn.”
I always thought he was a talking gum ball machine lol
He technically is.
Gawd, I miss Crow and Servo!!
I'm only 13 but They deserve to be on TV today
Brilliant!!!
classic episode
Sweet fruit juices anointing their bodies........
It's my world, mine not yours!
im also 13 and i think so too. plus i have a servo replica that you can find on deviant art and it makes me want to make a fan MSTing

You think they buy dissfunctional popcorn?
@SUPERMEDIABROTHERS6 They'd have no room unless Statler and Waldorf took the night off. Those old bastards were the original riffers, after all.
Is that how you really think about women, Crow? ;)
Oh that popcorn logo!
Wait... how is Servo the grandchild, if they are forbidden to be with women because of science... you gotta have a women's to have a child and then a grandchild...
Artificial insemination.
But how do they eat and breathe? And other science facts?
I just had an awesome idea! what if Mike and the bots guest starred on the Muppet show?
@Smael64 Godzilla vs. Megalon.
Try to mention the product more.
Crow dressed as the 11th Doctor. Yes. Just yes.
He's dressed as Orville Redenbacher....
How on Earth do you get that? It was decades before the 11th Doctor was even a thing.
I know, I was making a joke
The 11th Doctor dressed liked Orville Redenbacher?!
He’s a robot now, robots are cool
Why oh why is one of the related videos a tutorial for taking out and replacing a prosthetic eye? *shudders*
Big Bird (Sesame Street) as Crow
Tenderheart Bear (Care Bears) as Servo
what movie was being shown?
Smael64 Godzilla vs. Megalon
@BlueDemonofFire amen to that
What the fuck?
come on how will that look?
Hey m0lr4k, at least say what year and episode this is from.
most of their sketchs were meh, sometimes they'd make me chuckle, but this one was amazing
