And a slow-witted, Snagglepuss-sounding, Torgo-Lite gardener named Mickey is tossed into the mix for a highly unsuccessful red herring. Damn you for even suggesting it!)Īnyways, some pie-faced minister and his mannish wife hang around a lot listening intently and absorbing little. Looneywife repeatedly contorts her face in horrible twisty fear (this is the scariest effect in the movie, by far) and bores us to tears walking around looking for things in a nightgown (making me think as I watched it: no, movie, yeah I know you're from the '50s and all so we have to cut you some slack, but I will never accept this fear-furrowed woman in her twelve-layer pegnoir as sexy. Creepyhusband tries to drive his wife batty by putting skulls in odd places. This is clear in the first ten minutes or so of the movie, but they go on spending an hour of our valuable time pretending there's some real mystery at hand. That is to say: HE'S GUILTY! HE'S REALLY, REALLY GUILTY! HEY EVERYONE, HE'S GUILTY!. This brand-new groom's new wife is loaded with family money too, and is more than a little unstable. His deceased wife died recently from a bashed-in head, under mysterious circumstances. The story: a shifty creep and his pathological worrywart of a new bride move into a Southern mansion owned by his late wife, and now bequeathed to him.

Or (my preferred title), "I Swear Before All That Is Good And Holy I Will Never Watch Another Movie Starring The Twisted Worry-Faced Mother From The Space Children (Episode 906) Ever, Ever Again, With God As My Witness." And that his failure in yardwork endeavors will be met by blistering punishment and the witholding of their love, replaced by the purest of hate. The delightful movie climaxes with the maiming and dismemberment of many robots, and the white-hot rage of Gumby's parents, who by story's end have taught their son that their love is always highly conditional on his success in finding innovations in yardwork. (Gumbo also runs around naked, in this universe with no rules.)īut Gumbo gets trounced by the robots until finally Gumby finds a way to kill them. They start tearing down the whole world, dammit! Mom summons dad, who is named Gumbo, though I fail to see his resemblance to the tasty shrimp, okra and sausage soup I had in New Orleans. Gumby's mother, who wears clothes, is very pleased with her son's ingenuity, as long as it's working. In this adventure, Gumby and his equestrian friend Pokey - who at least in some sense looks like a true horse - making us wonder what Gumby is technically supposed to be, dammit: a reanimated blob of spearmint gum? Sentient mucus? - well anyway, he and Pokey enslave some robots to do yardwork. He has elephantine legs tapering up to a thin, flat body, on top of which is perched a head which resembles a moss-covered Chippendale chair as designed by Salvador Dali, in that one side appears to be melting. Gumby is a strange, disturbingly high-crotched, nude green clay figure. Short Summary: Robot Rumpus stars Gumby, of "dammit" fame. From that point forward I went online and found and downloaded every episode they ever made.THE OFFICIAL MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 INFO CLUB WEB SITE but then I found MSt3k the Movie at a video store. Sadly this was the last season and it was going to be over soon. At least this time I also got to see Robot Rumpus. this time I caught it from the starts and understood the show a little better. I tuned it at 7pm and they aired The Screaming Skull again. During the show they aired a commercial for Mst3k showing that it would air later on that day at 7pm. After looking at the menu on the tv, that movie was 'The Screaming Skull'. I saw the peacocks and I got the riff and started to laugh. then I realized the silhouettes of Mike and the Bots.
I was confused because I didn't know who had said that. I finally laid down in my dark room, under the covers, and that's when I heard the riff "help us, NBC is after us. I wasn't really paying attention because I was just trying to get the bed ready for me to go to sleep. I had left it on the scifi channel before I left so it was still on there. I went into my room, closed the door and turned on the tv. So early Saturday morning, it was freezing and there was ice on the road, I got out early and went home. But sometimes if work ended up slow they would let us leave early. I used to work the graveyard shift with the postal service from 11pm to around 8am.
