As we head into the last days before Mystery Science Theater 3000 returns, let’s take some time and think about the older series. There were 199 episodes, counting the KTMA season and the movie, but not the pilot/promo. But, for our purposes, we’ll not count the pilot/promo nor the KTMA season, okay?
So, here’s today’s question: Which short that MST3K riffed is your favorite?
For me, it could be Hired (either or both parts), A Case of Spring Fever, or The Home Economics Story. I’m leaning toward the latter for these 13 seconds alone:
Hired! and Truck Farmer
Yep Hired is my number one short too followed by Gumby.

I give you Gumby in Robot Rumpas… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3jAcOQiWWg&t=1s
A Case of Spring Fever
“NOO springs!” (Maniacal cackle)
What was the question? I was too busy watching their crotches.
Days of our Years. My favorite Deacon of Death. As a practicing Christian who enjoys the Lords work, this guy puts the Tan in Satan. “The three causes of accidents are joy, sex, and old age.”
“Get out of my head Reverend!”
-Mike
Wait… maybe that was from Last Clear Chance. Another reverend with an agressivily gloomy outlook on life.
My first thought was Junior Rodeo Daredevils. Then I settled on Assignment Venezuela.
“There’s the bedroom, or as Fred calls it The Workbench”
“Johnny at the Fair” without question. So very, very dark, and hilariously so.
No “Mr. B Natural”? Are you INSANE, all of you?
Actually, in terms of great jokes, “Home Economics Story” is right up there.
And that telephone of the future one. And the car one with Nuveena.
