Weird Man.... Just weird....

How many portraits of Franco are there still?

@@Phoenix_Films This just in, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is STILL dead!

I love how many Misties there are from all around the world. Take care brother/sister

😅😅😅😅😅😅. I know

I love that bit too but I think that's not a kit kat, it's a twix

He has gone Overdrive On swagger, Toxic Level Even Dr. Evil would go nuts

🤣🤣🤣

I think all old italian movies are dubbed even in Italy so I'm guessing it's very common that a voice dubbed in isn't done by the same actor

I'd go so far as to say it was dubbed by the outer limits guy. Probably bullshit, but many would believe it

@@seanjacobs7021 No, iT was dubbed by the Connery brother's cousin Kevin.

I thought that part was dubbed by Chip Hitler? Don't worry, we're all even smaller men here.

It matters to me, Mr Smallshorts

Inspired by true events😝

I know

The movie was intended as a parody of the James Bond series.

I haven't laughed that hard at a line since The Movie itself. That timing was gold.

This is one of the greatest riffs lines ever. Hahhaha always cracks me up

They're singing about Sean Connery.

@@jondunmore4268 They’re singing about Santy Claius.

They just throw everything against the wall and see if it sticks and most of it doesn't.

Tom Servo is adorable :)

I have a giant Tom Servo tattoo on my back

you can see the thin string as well pulling the bobing buzzard

It’s just a show you guys really should just relax

la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la

TV's Frank is ALWAYS a little off his mark. It's just how he rolls.

That "F" was for fool. Of course he's off the mark.

its "flo-beeing" his back. im pretty sure. which if you didnt know, was a 1990s hair cutting kit that you attached to a vacuum cleaner it was spoofed in "waynes world" as the "suckcut. "its sucks as it cuts" though the audio is bad and i might be wrong'

No, it's definitely flobee-ing.

www.annotatedmst.com/episodes/65/Operation_Double_007 to decipher all their caddy references except the Tom Thumb reference is wrong - I sent them an email to correct it. Tom Thumb in Twin Cities Minnesota was not the same as the big grocery store chains. Sorry. The joke is that Tom Thumb is a small corner store - making it very colloquial. slphistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/8000-Minnetonka-Blvd.-Texa-Tonka-1969-03-Polka-Dot-Dairy-1024x684.jpg So that's an image of what they're referring to - clearly NOT a big chain grocery store. Polka Dot Dairy: 1973. Became Tom Thumb convenience store under same ownership. is the caption. They were even store fronts in houses - my buddy bought a house that had a Polka Dot Dairy on the first floor.

Succint and informative, thanks.

Shouldn't have tried doing his own stunts, I guess.

What kind of accident🤔

I mean, he was hansome man, so I can see him as Bond. George Lazenby was way worse actor and he got his one movie.

They're not really that funny. Maybe it's American humour. I hear better patter everyday.

@@thursoberwick1948 then what the heck are you even doing here?

​@@thursoberwick1948humor is universal

@@notinspectorgadget here to poop in the punch bowl

The casino royale spoof is one of the most unfocused messes of a movie I have ever seen. I highly recommend it

Was Charles Feldman Marty’s brother?

"lark"? it's like Bob Hope? you mean it's not funny?

Have you ever read Johnny Mnemonic?

I know.

I died when he kissed Crow. XD

@Stevie Chan, I noticed he kisses the bots on several occasions...

then finishes with a chocolate see-gar. So good.

It's a spoof.

I perfer to think that the studio knew the memetic badassery of the Connery bloodline, and didn't bother hiding it by giving the main character another name.

Ha right before I read your comment I looked up this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fQsowfrKDEg.html Mike was awesome as Torgo

Mike was an awesome Torgo

the real Torgo offed himself due to permanent injuries from his character in Manos.... so they probably don't want to push it.

“ my name is Torgo I take care of the place while the master is away “ 😂

@@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 this is actually a myth, the reason he killed himself was because he was deep into drugs and his father resented him for being an actor

Nice riff.

The lead bad guy is Adolfo Celi, who also played Largo in Thunderball.

And MANOS: The Hands of Fate!

You must include radar service

Mitchell!

Danger! Death Ray.

Its so obvious that you never watched final sacrifice

My wife is not an MST3K fan...but we both laugh over this line...tossed randomly into conversations!

Something seemed a bit more natural. Oddly enough, might be the lovable awkwardness. Pearl and Bobo I felt came off a little forced af times,

As one who, in my early twenties, stumbled upon MST in the early '90s (Joel era, thee best imo) there had already been - as I'm sure you're aware - a few key personnel changes prior to Comedy Channel dropping them / Sci-Fi Channel picking them up ...so maybe it was due to that that I was able to roll with the Sci-Fi line-up with a bit more ease. Bill had some _big_ shoes to fill, as Crow was Trace's baby from the show's inception. I recall thinking at first that I'd NEVER warm up to someone else giving life to Crow ...and to be sure, it certainly wasn't the same in terms of the character's quirky nuances and mannerisms Trace brought to it and that Misties had grown accustomed to. But all-in-all, I got used to the new Crow, and really enjoyed Bill's _Observer_ character ...especially liked it once they abandoned the Roman times jazz and moved on to the Castle Forrester set. However, I agree with you that MST's golden era remains the high water mark for this wonderful show ...which I consider to be one of the finer things that came outta latter twentieth century pop culture. All of the characters fit and interacted so well: Joel as the nurturing father figure, the invention exchange, the "mads" were a constant hoot(!!!) etc etc Also, I suspect it was largely a slightly older demographic - or at least one that hailed from a very different collective sensibility in the US that now feels unfortunately absent - that could better relate to and appreciate the overall bent of the writing and the show's humor during those early seasons. Nothing against subsequent seasons and/or personnel, as there are numerous episodes from those that I enjoy as well ... but again, there's just _something_ not quite as...? ... culturally observant and subversive in the writing and references.

I think the Sci-Fi era Mads really came together when Brain Guy joined them following the events of The She Creature. We didn’t quite have a character like him before and the fact that all his power couldn’t stop him from being dominated by Pearl really clicked. Plus, Bill really found his comfort zone and interpretation of Crow by then.

The older I get, the more I prefer Joel to Mike.

Oddly enough, I prefer Mike (and Eddie) to that sleepy-eyed guy. Mike seems .. I dunno... way funnier

One Can Never unhear the Dreaded cantor of the Torgo Theme. That is my opinion of the worst movie ever made, MANOS the HANDS of FATE, cult level badness.

"Running" is the wrong word.

Kate Orman Staggering Gag? :)

+Karstens Creations *Shambling

+Letus the Dragon Howdy dragon! You have an awesome avatar!

+Letus the Dragon I agree. Second after that was when the Krankor guy from Prince of Space came back and visited the boys as they watched Invasion of the Neptune Men. Not really a running gag, but that was an awesome special guest :)

*I KNOW*

L.o.l So true in 2022

or they put them on youtube

@@SpamEggSausage 👍

Keep seeding the torrents bro!!

First time I read that I thought “Dahell? Where did Torgo find a skirt that wouldn’t bunch up around his knees?”

So has Mike! Mostly in the “Love, American Style” skit.

All I can think of is Ray Liotta

+TalShiar69 ...only now, he's married to Carol Bayer Sager! :-)

Positively shocking

According to the IMDB for this movie (which was titled Operation Kid Brother in the UK, so I don't think Neil had too fragile an ego), Neil was cast after the OKB producer heard him speaking on the radio about union matters and decided he sounded exactly like Sean, which was apparently enough of a reason to build a movie around him. As for Neil, he did another movie and then opened a plastering business in Glasgow, but has appeared in a small variety of projects from the '70s to the mid-'90s, which would seem to indicate some degree of talent. Seems a pretty-quiet sort. Still lives in Edinburgh, which is also his city of birth. Edit: That's all to say that the "Neil Connery can do everything" stuff may have just been lazy screen-writing, as opposed to Neil's ego. Bond, at least, had a background as a lifelong, seasoned, elite special operative to explain all his skills; how do you explain a plastic surgeon being able to fight better than criminal thugs (surgeons tend to get into fist-fights as much as classical pianists, for the same reasons)? What's doing my head in is that the producer hired Neil, sight-unseen, based on his voice and its similarity to Sean's brogue, and then *dubbed* him in the flattest accent possible. Nobody's captaining this ship.

This is a spoof.

jim lillis "For some reason, I liked the fight on the boat better." "And right into a Bob Fosse routine!"

The set pieces are also just bonkers for how big and expensive they must have been.

@@notinspectorgadget right?

@@number1fool every one of those scenes has the same chaotic energy as the cafeteria brawl in Blazing Saddles.

isnt that villain the same dude from Diabolik? way better MST3K episode haha, mike is just so much better joel only chimes in like every 5 minutes and never really makes jokes

Piss on you, I’m working’ fer Mel Brooks.

@@dougjb7848 Not in the face!

At least Sean fell in love with a Japanese lady in another movie.

😂

You know, that's one of _the movies_ I use as an example of what the difference between a star or ab=n actor is. Sean Connery only made it in movies because of his looks. Success doesn't always = 'good' & he really wasn't. Flat, inflection-less voice. No pacing. No facial expression much of the time. He was Brad Pitt before BP was born.

watch them, watch them now

I'll get around to it! For some reason I didn't think much of the newer James Bonds, I have a feeling I'd like the "campier" earlier installments more. At least I own GoldenEye and The World is Not Enough.

LinkMarioSamus yeah new ones aren't very good. older ones are worth the watch though

I've actually never seen any bond movies either. :/

I like it whenever they bring Torgo or Ortega back.

BeauSkunk ortega is the neil connery to manos' shawn connery

jim lillis Harsh, but so true!
