My #1 all-time favorite episode! Just such a magnificent presentation of MST3K! It's a must-watch on my birthday! My favorite riff: 1:21:02 "How do ya like my swingin' church, son!"
This was around the time of the Menedez Brothers case, so I think that's what the reference they were going for. Let's see the kids today get Senator Packwood references.
@@TECH097 Same but Kevin quickly became my favorite riffer in history. His angelic voice hath brought us so many great songs sung to soundtracks without lyrics.
I really love this episode…maybe the most underrated of the whole series. Besides the actor playing Jimmy doing a genuinely decent job of acting, there are some classic riffs…especially love the first “home” scene with Jimmy, sis/not sis, mom and dad, and the host segment with Gypsy syncing Kitty….great stuff!
Seattle KRAKEN fan? Last week I pulled a 'Young Guns' card, for their new mascot. Have you gotten Into card collecting? Great way to get familiar with the new players, Team and the rest of the league. Not cheap though!! That's why I prefer the OPC and MVP sets. Way cheaper but still fun. Cheers from Montreal Quebec Canada
@ Season ticket holder baby! It’s … been a painful couple years. But they’re on a streak now! Also recovering Habs fan. I’m into heavy metal, and I go see Cryptopsy whenever they’re in town. I wore a PK Subban sweater to the last show, McGachy was cracking up (they’re from Montreal).
I used to have the Johnny's psychosis skit memorized a long time ago. (Yes, I was very popular with the ladies back then). This might be my second favorite episode after Manos. Just barely edging out Eegah.
I quite like it; it's easily one of the episodes that made me "get" MST3K as a postdated watcher. (Hey, I was four in 1994, MST3K would have gone over my head.)
@XanthinZarda I was 20 years old in 1994 and lots of MST3K went over my head back then. They do make a lot of references that you'd probably only get if you grew up in the 70s
The kid walks into Mr. Blake's office and asks him for about $1,500 in today's money, and he thinks he's gonna repay it as a low level courier? Jimmy was definitely a bit thick headed....
Mitchell was a great one to jump on with because it’s so funny! I think it’s a great starting off point. It’s definitely a favorite of mine, Mitchell that is. ✌️😘
I was in high school, ‘98, and circulated the 📼. 🤘🏴☠️ Crawling Hand, Red Zone Cuba, Bride of the Monster, Mitchell are a few favorites. If I had to pick my absolute fav.. Pod People.🤘
Lettuce TRIVIA 😂😂 For a very short number of years (1880s?), the valley of Beaver Creek (major ski area now), Colorado, became a boomtown for lettuce growing and shipping on the new railroads. Why? Because they could pack it in the ice or snow that was found farther upvalley, south of the ski area today. Knowing this reminds me of Raymond Massey and James Dean in "East of Eden" ❤❤❤ Short duration, because it didn't take too much longer to invent "Refrigerated railroad cars"
This is my second favorite episode! Great skits, awesome short, very silly movie. Manos was my first episode so that will always be the best in my book. But this one is a close second. Maybe the best complete episode of the series from start to finish.
Fun Fact: shortly after the film was given to the troops....Germany almost broke out in what was called the battle of Bulge. Fortunitly not all the troops did not see the film yet.
@@tonyromano6220 seriously, It premiered oct 27, 1944 as it says at 01:28:00 it was shown in combat areas. QED! This film was soo bad that it made us lose the war in Europe
I and Tristin Taylor cant wait to hear about the hamburger sandwhich with french fried potatoes! We can think about it as the narrator monolougues since hes pretty slow and well be in that stadium..I mean courtroom all day.
I was surprised that Mike didn't play the stripper 'Rodney'. Instead Bradley J. Keely is credited, as Bradley. A Man that is way more of a 'MindFreak' than Chris Angel ever was! This Man was co editor and the Aforementioned Angel Freak !!! Maybe hardcore fans can tell us, if this is Bradley's only on-screen appearance? Mike was the Head Writer so after performing those duties, hecmaybe went on Vaccation, or got married. Or sat in a chair and watched the filming the episode, being filmed!
I love how older generations love to complain about how WE'RE too sensitive about mental health, but they were apparently making movies about how having mildly neglectful parents can apparently excuse literal homicide
Sorry to hear that. This is a AMasterclass, in the art of the Riff. I haven't seen it for years and the ridiculous but intriguing title, had me avoiding it. Thanks for putting it up there. Honestly, I was not a big fan, with the 'Rhino VHS presentation' turned me away. The cover jokes were hit and miss and if there was only one or two jokes....You can see an issue. Take care

This is gonna be another controversial opinion, but I unironically like this movie. The characters are likable, the story is well paced and it's satisfying to see a happy ending that felt earned on MST3K. Yeah, Jimmy is a compulsive liar..... but I don't blame him. Yeah, Jimmy is stupid.... but that's because he had no authority figures in his life that could teach him common sense. But honestly, compared to other films on MST3K, this was kind of nice. And, as always, Joel and the Bots were hysterical.
Tom Servo and Crow are my two favorite humans ever. Try to correct this claim and you'll realize why you would just be proving my point to yourself. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
1:28:00 I've never heard of that before, or since. Does anyone know any details? Was this a propaganda film? The message to Parents, looking after their Children better? It DOESN'T seem like a war time message. In the classes I've taken, in regards to propaganda, these were not the kind of message to give the boy's who had entered the war. I'm not sure what year the film was made, or why they would send it somewhere, during an ongoing war. The parents were not bringing their kids in to a war zone and the young teens were not asking Mom and Dad's permission, to go and die in Europe. The visual alone is ridiculous. Maybe The Producers got a tax break if they donated a movie that was just sitting on a shelf? Considering the 'shorts' This is not a long movie, or there is a bunch of footage, that was cut out. Like I said. I'm just looking for a rabbitt hole to jump into and then 'go ask Alice's who her best dealer is! This will sound late, (because) it is but this is a pretty good movie and a fantastic Riff. Include the short bumpers and it's easily a top 10 of the Joel era. Cheers to all, unless you are trying to Quit. Good luck and use a variation on what helped me quit smoking 12 years ago. A B C was my tenet. It stood for Anything But Cigarettes, (Or a more damaging substance.) Any food, skies the limit. I always carried tooth picks. I vaped at the start. ABC but I got away after 2 years and held the toothpick, like a cig. For drinking it's harder but ABA. Stay away frombars and do anything else you want. If you smoke, don't ever try 2 at ounce. That goes with any substance. Hence, the Anything but, way of looking at it In my opinion. It's the same as training dogs. Always one cat a time. Guess How I learned that? Take care and if anything goes wrong,, BLAME YOUR PARENTS, A LOT!!! I should know. I'm a Human male.
One of my personal favorites from The Truck Farmer:
"Here in Southern Texas there is an additional problem." - "Texans!"
That one, and: "Stick farmer." and, "Go Speed Farmer... Gets me every time😂
well I'll be....I'M IN MEXICO!!
As much as I like Texas, that's still funny!
Crow's line at the end of the trial-
"Oh, let's go to Jack Taylor's and celebrate!!!" still makes me laugh even when I just think about it. The idea that Jimmy's whole ordeal had no effect on his parents, is the perfect joke in that moment.
Is your hat flask empty?
My #1 all-time favorite episode! Just such a magnificent presentation of MST3K! It's a must-watch on my birthday!
My favorite riff: 1:21:02 "How do ya like my swingin' church, son!"
This has always been one of their best episodes.
Joel thought so too
Yup 😂
1:14:02 "Mom! Dad! I won the 'Get the crap kicked outta ya' contest!" --One of the all time riffs that will live forever in my head
I love that line! Very funny.
"It was your birthday last year!" is my all-time favorite riff. Sometimes I just think about it and burst into laughter.
"They laughed, when I accused my parents and I killed them...
Let's see if they'll be laughing noooow."@17:22 😂
This was around the time of the Menedez Brothers case, so I think that's what the reference they were going for. Let's see the kids today get Senator Packwood references.

I wrote an essay about this episode. Then I entered it a contest. And won.

I love how Gypsy dances a bit before she starts lip-syncing in the "Are you happy in your work?" skit.
*Hey, Showbiz! Can we get our food over here?!*
The restaurant bill was about $80 in 1944, which is the equivalent to $1,434.84 in 2024

A classic of the Joel era, for sure. One of the first episodes I saw ( the first was Mitchell; weird jumping on point).

I couldn't agree more :)

This is just what I needed at 3am.
the music number with joel’s mustache and ending with gypsy’s “WHA HAPPA” at 43:47 kills me everytime
I love that Joel is doing really simple but silly costume changes when he's not on screen to simulate other customers at the restaurant.
hey, fine Fawful pfp, he's one o my favorite gaming villains ever!
@ to this day i can’t watch / read / hear something that makes me laugh without thinking “I HAVE CHORTLES!” 🤣

Love the KillDozer reference 💚💚
Joel’s favorite episode of MST3K
One of my favorite episodes after all these years...
Crow:
Your arms don't work.
Lmfao
"you'll get beat up cause youre a freak!"
I don't believe it... How is a title like "I Accuse My Parents" NOT a red-scare movie?
This movie could be legit amazing if remade as a satire by like, Wes Anderson or similar.
Watched this RHINO VHS a lot. Never got tired of it.
Ah, my favorite Joel episode.
Crow's delivery on the line "The audience is, frankly, stunned" gets me every time. Hysterical.
Maybe he just *suspects* his parents . . . *PRICELESS!*
It's funny seeing Clay concerned about getting in trouble because I've always seen him as basically a super villain, turns out Franks the psycho 🤣
"Life on the lam, the affordable vacation." That comment still cracks me up.
"Jack Taylor has a great place!" is still my favorite line in one of the best MST3K.
"Y'ever worked as a boy before?"
This made my dad and I cry with laughter over the holidays-- such a ridiculous line
Top 5 of all time,,,right up there with classics like “Girls Town ,Beatniks and Killer Shrews”
“Why don’t you just do it on the bench?”
I and Tristin Taylor cant wait to hear about the hamburger sandwhich with french fried potatoes! We can think about it as the narrator monolougues since hes pretty slow and well be in that stadium..I mean courtroom all day.
Charlie Varrick- great movie!
19:08 is the canonical ending of this episode
How bout a bong? Ha! Missed that joke in the 90s hee hee
Who else checks the comments to see if it's the right movie?
Hilarious classic 😅
"Why are your moms holding hands, Tom?" "Can't say why on TV yet, Joel!"
20:00 funniest joke in the whole episode, lol
😂😂😂😂great riffing in this episode
I guess I wouldn't have minded too much if my dad bought me off with five bucks every time I tried to talk to him.
I was surprised that Mike didn't play the stripper 'Rodney'. Instead Bradley J. Keely is credited, as Bradley. A Man that is way more of a 'MindFreak'

Or sat in a chair and watched the filming the episode, being filmed!
Joel didn't like being on camera and I think that makes his performance more authentic.
Thank you TH-cam for the 3 unskippable ads during the ad breaks. Ugh!
I feel ya. Makes me glad for bing
All hail the truck farmer! All hail the truck farmer! All hail the truck farmer!

You are way too sensitive. This is about emotionally unavailable parents. And it is just a movie.😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
@@tonyromano6220 i'm just saying it's pretty ironic
