oh my gosh, i used to LUV this show when it came on scifi. i would watch every saturday, i miss it alot. it would always make me laugh. does anybody else feel the same way?
I always crack up when the narrator says, "Joe always says..." and Crow says, "If you're going to bury a body in a shallow grave, always use Quicklime."
George Matthews, who played the Guardian Angel, later appeared in the 1952 Katherine Hepburn-Spencer Tracy film, "Pat & Mike," as well as several episodes of "The Honeymooners."
So the most important reason he can think of for going back is his book of coupons? Not his wife and two children he's left without any source of income??
It was during the war - there was rationing. Those coupons were it! Makes no difference - Joe would've gotten drafted and died a horrible death from malaria in some swamp in Burma, anyway.
Legally recognized is quite different from what the guy behind the wheel thinks. And in a collision with a bike and a car, well, there's little doubt which one will not be getting up and walking away.
I used to work nights, and I'd be driving home at 7am with the sun in my eyeas, avoiding idiot joggers IN THE ROAD-- A hundred yards from the BEACH, never mind the sidewalk next to them.
Best parts of this hard-to-understand MST3K short are: Mike yells at the screen in the beginning LOL -and- "and over there thats Mick Jagger's cloud stay off of it!" LOL
I'm so glad things have changed since 1944, when people faced the penalty of instant damnation to hell for disobeying traffic laws. Despite the changes in law enforcement since then, after watching this I'll be sure not to hog the lanes and I'll never forget to dim my lights or get regular vehicle checks again. Thank you MST3K. I'm going to go check my wiper blades right now.
lol 20:08 till the end had me howling with laughter... "He wasn't too careful about speed..." ""Mm mm... Mm mm...." .... "He did have regular car inspections..." "yeah....."
Hahaha 5:03........"Crypto-Joe" I own this short, and I've seen it so many times (along with all my other mst3k dvds :-P)...and I've NEVER caught that. I love the subtle ones they sneak in.
I love the selling point that bad drivers hurt the war effort! Well, when you put it like THAT...
"I want the whole truth..."
"...so help me, Me!"
"Or maybe they didn't want to live in New Jersey anymore..."
"You see, I stopped a car once with my face. My forehead's all Bondo..."
"Oh great... we're stranded in space and we STILL gotta pull jury duty!"
Priceless.
"And then give it the gas."
"And then give 'em the bird."
"You were born in New Jersey eh?"
"I thought I smelled something!"
oh my gosh, i used to LUV this show when it came on scifi. i would watch every saturday, i miss it alot. it would always make me laugh. does anybody else feel the same way?
I like that Crow was still riveted enough 2 stick around for the rhetorical questions.
Definately. Used to watch this with my dad every Saturday morning. Wish they still ran reruns.
"After that he'd crawl through at snails pace" "nursing homes though whoa"
I always crack up when the narrator says, "Joe always says..." and Crow says, "If you're going to bury a body in a shallow grave, always use Quicklime."
"He started squeaking and calling himself Algernon"
I wasn't expecting that reference :D
"Now over there, that's Mick Jagger's cloud. Stay off of it."
LMAO
Narrator: His name is Joe Dokes, he has a wife and 2 beautiful children...
Joel: Now i make my move
"Without energy wake up already!!!" I love Joel
"I guess he can't be a witness."
That guardian's head is a phrenologist's dream
Or nightmare!
"Hitler? Uh, no, he drove a stick!"
One of my favorite MST shoets.
This is one of the funniest MST3K Shorts ever!
You should check out "Young Man's Fancy". It's a side-splitter!
I think it's one of the woyst.
Servo: "God sure has a crummy office." Joel mutters, That's because all the interior decorators are in hell.
"That poor guy was James Dean. The end."
lol, Love it.
"Why I was so disgusted... why I pooted right in his front seat"
"With his skull clutched in his hands"
"Let's see....there's dickweed, dope, dumbsh--oh, here it is."
🤣 I love it when Joel gets snarky!
Looks like a Gino Vanelli Concert! 3 or 4 people got that one
George Matthews, who played the Guardian Angel, later appeared in the 1952 Katherine Hepburn-Spencer Tracy film, "Pat & Mike," as well as several episodes of "The Honeymooners."
Greg Eichelberger Wikipedia describes him as “Burly, heavy-featured, and tall” ...
A very rare miss by the MST crew
"Without ENERGY! Will you wake up??!! Come on!"
So the most important reason he can think of for going back is his book of coupons? Not his wife and two children he's left without any source of income??
It was during the war - there was rationing. Those coupons were it! Makes no difference - Joe would've gotten drafted and died a horrible death from malaria in some swamp in Burma, anyway.
@@mikezylstra7514damn that was uncomfortably specific.
For a 35 year old, Joe had owned a lot of different cars. I think he may have been stealing them.
Why do you think he's such a careless driver yet never gets caught? It's a car theft scheme.
It wasn't unusual, back then, to buy a car every couple years.
you mean "cahs"
Did he ever drive drunk? -Oh boy, I need my other scroll for that one.
Crow: Never give driver license to Mr. Magoo.
"well let's get on with the charges!
Visa or mastercard?"
I love this show
"oh i wish i were dead... oh no, wait i am"
don't ya just love "crow" and "gumball head"
The other driver was James dean. The end
"he landed right on the x now that takes direction" lmao
"He was always sneaking up and scaring the wits out of pedestrians."
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed that.
Back when DWI was considered a misdemeanor.
Back when you can die in a 15mph car wreck.
When I was in college in Texas, driving drunk was not against the law.
"Joe had two kids of his own at that school."
CROW:"And if his wife ever found out..."
"Guardian, I want the whole truth."
SERVO:"So help me ME."
Lmfao
@@BBQMeatski Thanks for making me feel old
"That's Mick Jagger's cloud. Stay off of it." :D
I miss this show and I rarely ever got to watch it when it was in syndication.
So basically, horrible drivers are nothing new. Good to know.
Especially in India where road rules & regulations are merely suggestions.
You can't see it from heah but my towso is fused to a bwock of gwannit.
"And at the halftime, wow, Injuries are ahead of Fatalities here in New Jersey!"
The funny thing is, Joe is very representative of NJ drivers.
"Dear Diary...It's hard being God..."
"Jury? Oh great, we're stuck in space and we still have to pull jury duty." LOL
Entry into Heaven is decided by one's driving ability? What happened in the days before cars?
Impwove twaffic conditions.
Robert Jindra Mawwaige.
Insert elmer fudd laugh
Dude, this is what heaven is like if you're from New Jersey.
Paulie Walnuts as the Guardian Angel.
"He's got a lovely wife and two beautiful children."
"Now I make my move."
So before you get into heaven, you gotta go through driving purgatory?
Legally recognized is quite different from what the guy behind the wheel thinks. And in a collision with a bike and a car, well, there's little doubt which one will not be getting up and walking away.
"Today in Dead People's Court" ROFL
I used to work nights, and I'd be driving home at 7am with the sun in my eyeas, avoiding idiot joggers IN THE ROAD-- A hundred yards from the BEACH, never mind the sidewalk next to them.
"Woo, free ghost! Stairway to heaven!"
"Be veewwwy quiet..I'm hunting cwiminals!"
My towso is fused to a bwock of gwanate.
@@lavalampluva55401 John J, you are weely a wascal!
With or without your Magic Helmet? 😂
@@luisreyes1963 Wearing ONLY that! 😂
Where have the last 4 years gone!

Would a'one remember Gino Vanelli if he were not mentioned often in a few episodes of MST3K.
Actually, I think it was "looks like Nixon's enemies book" reference to CREEP and the enemies list Nixon had.
A lot of great references in this one
"You can't see it fwom hewe, but my towso is fused to a bwock of gwanite."
Personally, this is probably my favorite MST3K Short.
4:00 we called the suicide doors for a reason...
Hate to think that your eternity is dependent on your driving record.
I'm so glad things have changed since 1944, when people faced the penalty of instant damnation to hell for disobeying traffic laws. Despite the changes in law enforcement since then, after watching this I'll be sure not to hog the lanes and I'll never forget to dim my lights or get regular vehicle checks again. Thank you MST3K.

"Joe had two kids of his own at that school... and if his wife ever found out..." ROTLF, I miss this show so much.
"That's when he stepped into a wormhole and was transported to the sixteenth century!" That made my day!
I absolutely LOVED MSTK3!! Thanks for posting this.
Angel_ He would slow down toa slow roll then give it the gas!
Joel_ And then give 'em the bird!
Yaay MST 3K My favorite show!
If you kill yourselves over here, we can't kill Them over there!
"FREEBIRD!"
lol, this show rocks
I would ask how he could have died horribly if he was only going 15 MPH, but those old cars were screaming metal deathtraps, so...
I never could figure out - three pedals only two legs - one to keep on the floor to steady you in the seat. How did you drive those things?
@@mikezylstra7514clutch? Parking brake? Kick starter?
Oh, do I miss those moments Joel interacts w/ the movie!
"Where is that guy?"
"He's with your wife, Joe."
Great stuff!
Crazy Guggenheim!
"It's Crazy Guggenheim!"
Over there... that's Mick Jager's cloud, stay off it...
XD Awesome!
Man i miss these fools,yo freaking funny,,and joe the bad driver i deal with that daliy as a trucker,
Sorry I meant ,to
lol 20:08 till the end had me howling with laughter... "He wasn't too careful about speed..." ""Mm mm... Mm mm...." .... "He did have regular car inspections..." "yeah....."
3:13 "Fiddlesticks! You consarned scalawag!" That's what profanity sounded like back than.
3:34 ♫ Robin laid an egg; Batmobile lost a wheel...
If your from New Jersy you get a messed up after life
New Jersey is hell for anybody and bad drivers,then you go to new york, it's all over then.
"I think it is about a dog who changed his name" LOL. these guys are the best.
"Oh guilty. Hang'em. String'em up. Get the Director too."
God, did the producers of these industial films take themselves WAY too seriously!
At least Joe didn't have Officer Hal or America's favorite deacon of death as the judge.
It's Crazy Googinheim!
I just live that line, pretty much sums up the intent of this whacky short!
Hahaha 5:03........"Crypto-Joe"
I own this short, and I've seen it so many times (along with all my other mst3k dvds :-P)...and I've NEVER caught that.
I love the subtle ones they sneak in.
MST3K-making starchy auto safety films fun!!
Disfigured Jesus take the wheel!
Take it from my not-disfigured hands
I can't do it all on my un-disfigured own
I'm letting non-disfigured go
Being a bad driver is bad, but being one from New Jersey...Hell In A Handbasket, you know...
Whoever tried to impersonate Fibber McGee prolly never heard him before.
Parallel universe parking
Your Horsemanship determined that. Also, you had to take good care of that horse, since God took the form of the horse you used to ride.
It might have been skewed by a little thing called World War II. But industrial accident works as well
ITS FABULOUS
