i don't think mst3k is just a reference factory either. i'll agree that an lazy obscure reference is still a lazy reference, but with a few exceptions (end of 'warrior of the lost world'), i don't think they relied on it as a crutch. most of the jokes i tend to remember are more along the lines of making fun of the…

the little hand on the clock says its time to rock.

yes, having her schtick be 'i'm so original i can't be bothered with the choreography' is so original! just like singing janis joplin, alanis morrissette, and tracy chapman are so original for a jangly acoustic folk singer! you know, maybe if the show's such a bother for her, she should just quit and headline some…

papa was a rolling stone
i just assumed that raylan's father is a criminal and probably in jail.

psycho? return of the king? sarah palin?

bangin'
i hope mila and maya turn on each other and the rest of the season is consumed by the drama of their interpersonal, immaculately cut strife. everyone takes sides as mila turns into the best villain since kenley, culminating in the penultimate episode, where mila tells tim gunn 'i'll color block you!' after he…

i actually thought annie's attraction to rich was the main reason jeff got so competitive so quickly. they've already established jeff's older brother protectiveness over/professorial attraction to annie, even before episode 13 or 14 or whenever this episode was intended to air. it just furthers the stealth couple…

too highbrow and confident for mcguirk, who hates himself so much he couldn't sleep with a naked woman coming on to him. but my favorite line of the episode.

yes
yes i am.

i'm just sad that lacey will never get a chance to perform 'jolene' now. but i guess it wouldn't have been next week anyway.

he does it so often for so many seasons, it makes me wonder if simon asks randy to boo him every night to help him get in character.

i really don't like crystal. she's so fucking fake, which all of them are, but she so tries to sell the 'i'm just me, deal with it!' attitude. she can sing, and that's great, but the whole 'you're so original' bullshit just pisses me off. it's only original to sing tracy chapman and alanis morrisette if you've…

i love ellen, but i think the problem is that she was hired to be the sunshine and instead she's sort of a funnier randy. it's really made me think a lot about why the judging dynamic worked so well before on the show, and i think the difference between then and now is before there were less opinions to sort out and…

oh, my god an entire iron maiden show done in indian headdresses! and they play 'number of the beast' in it's entirety! seacrest, make it happen!

towelie and yummsh : yes.

watching orianthi and kesha made me feel very old. i didn't get either of them. i felt like orianthi was made for junior high kids and kesha was made for sorority girls at the club. orianthi was mediocre and kesha was fucking awful. i felt a million years old watching them.

jeffrey tambor
i laughed through the whole episode, and the best line was definitely 'pele,' but i had to pause the episode i was laughing so hard at jeffrey tambor saying 'if you love it, put a ring on it'.

the steve brule stuff's brilliant, but the funniest thing for me is the two extreme dudes hosting an mtv show or whatever it is. almost anything with them makes me laugh, which the rest of the show mostly doesn't.

my wife agrees.

god, i wish she was gone.
