Happy 10th Anniversary you total retard!
>>217441546>Fratboy jockMike Nelson is a Mensa-IQ writer who was responsible for all the best jokes and riffs of the Joel era. Joel did not want to pre-write jokes, and the very dry first "season" of tapes reflects that.(Mensa is gay grift club and Mike rightly rejected their invite, but he did perform a keynote address for them)When Joel was leaving the show over creative differences, he wanted a woman to replace himself. He envisioned perhaps space radiation turning Joel's character female, played by Bridget Jones. Instead Joel was replaced by Mike and Mike married Bridget. They remain one of the cutest of comedy-performing couples to this day.
>>217441868>Wanting women to carry a show about making jokesPeople back then were cringe and woke I see.
>>217441904Yeah I try to separate the art from the times but Joel really did have more than a few notable "imperialist white man bad" jokes to his repertoire.
>>217441546Mike had better jokes and better movies. Better is a knife’s edge, you want watchable trash. Manos is painful and dull, Red Zone Cuba is paint drying. Needs to have some of that Pumaman pizzaz.
>>217441924Red Zone Cuba is the most painful thing ever put to film, and the other two Coleman Francis joints are pretty close seconds.Except that John Carradine song at the start, that shit is bossNIIIGHT TRAAAIN
>>217441920It's also an attempt to spite the show with his walk out by trying to get it essentially cancelled, but sadly for him, the show kept chugging alongBut seriously, the amount of people that left MST3K is crazy when you realise it's supposed to be a fun show with half the work done essentially with the movie, no matter how bad, being an attraction in an of itself.
>>217441962I enjoy how Mike, Bill and Kevin formed a permanent clique of their ownIt is sorta crazy that Bill and Kevin appeared in the Netflix series but Mike didn't
I like both but i prefer Joel. I like that he was the creator and his laid back, half stoned, idgaf attitude was comfy. Made a truly hysterical comment hit a bit harder coming from the half asleep guy kek
Mike era was definitely funnier and punchier but I like the stupid real-nerd campiness of Joel era too. That was in that brief window of time before Hot Topic "nerds" became a thing so MST3K was this perfect intersection of people who liked shitty black and white movies and Fawlty Towers and the internet before widespread home use brought the unwashed AOL masses in
All "eras">reddit friend simulator
>>217441546>>Joel era>Average wagie watches movies with robots he created. Robots view him as a father figure>>Mike era>Average wagie watches movies with robots other guy created. Robots view him as a brother/best friendMike era is better because SciFi made them make huge amounts of kino
>>217442813>>reddit friend simulatorThis is said about tons of shows ("Friends", "Cheers", "Star Trek".The only friend simulator is the shit you zoomers watch on stream and donate money to.
>>217441546Rifftrax:Generally pretty funny with some truly great episodesMST3k seasons 11-13:Irredeemable woke trash I rest my case, your honor. Mikechads stay winning.
>>217443135trvkeThe Tehran Incident is peak rifftraxand i'm not just saying that cause it's on their channel for free>sexually spent Peter Graves>You're burning me with your Pall Malls
>>217441546Wait but they were the same robots.
>>217441546>Fratboy jockMike (the character) did not finish college, and went on to become a temp worker, such as at the cheese factory. And given his known history as a theatre kid, I doubt he was ever anything approaching a "jock" either.
>>217441546Yeah I relate to CHAD Mike because I’m the lord of the dance, not some nerdy pussy.
Can't we ban assholes who make the same stupid thread repeatedly
