I know Rifftrax is just the actual guys heckling these and has no story, but given the voices and personalities I always imagined if it had a plot it would be after the last episode of MST3K when the SOL crashed, Mike and the bots on Earth got a job heckling movies and selling the CDs online along with a few DVD releases, but the bots pretend to be real people using giant Bill and Keven puppets.
Fer serious, I was OVERJOYED when the "Thumbelina" portion started. Oh it was still unbelievably bad, but the "Santa & Ice Cream Bunny" portion was SO bad I expected a Lovecraftian portal of madness to open and suck out my soul to be damned for all eternity. If fear comes from the absence of logic and reason, then this movie is the most terrifying thing ever produced.
@BryonYoungblood For some odd reason hearing Kevin scream YOU SUCK at a movie made me laugh harder than anything else also does anybody else notice that despite being the most experienced riffer among them Kevin has the most breakdowns?
Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like a Santa smelling of bolonga and malt liqour,a story that would make Satan scared,and the guys of Rifftrax.Merry f***ing Christmas!
Mike: Yes, there it is! The sun! Which is hot! The hot sun! 'Cuz this is Florida! LET'S MOVE ON!!! Bill: Seconded! Kevin: It's hot. Gotta love that. XD
"It must be destroyed by the Daggers of Megiddo!" Megiddo is the archeological dig where the aforementioned daggers were found; they're the only way to kill the Antichrist. Which is giving the Ice Cream Bunny an awful lot of credit.
11 years ago some friends of mine and I tried to watch this movie. Despite having tons of experience watching bad movies and bringing along a LOT of alcohol, we couldn't get through it. Thank god for RiffTrax. :D
I downloaded the entire movie from Rifftrax and watched it all the way through. Take it from me, the Thumbellina segment makes this more watchable. If not for that I surely would have cracked within 20 minutes.
And then the grungy PA box narrated the story of Thumbalina to the girl at Pirates World who imagined it in her mind looking something like this... And so the PA described how the witch continued to mince about for a while not speaking just fiddling mostly HO HO HO HO Santa why the clumsy framing device...why? I'll pull the sleigh, I'll marry Mr. Digger!
I hope that all of the people who made this film either learned from their mistakes and never made another film ever again, or now roast in the everlasting and eternal fires of hell. Actually, I do hope it's the latter.
I remember when I first downloaded the VOD. During the Santa segments I started giggling nervously, like the movie was going to come at me with a knife. The Thumbelina segments became sweet relief after that.
Will Lyon i like to imagine those are the costumes Brian Henson made and shown them to Jim, and Jim threw them in the garbage because they were that horrible
Just think. As long as there never has or likely ever will be a good movie about Santa Clause (and if you cite Miricle on 34th Street to counter my argument, so help me I'll belt you) the guys will always have movies to riff.
@HinataChick38 Supposedly it was considered during the Joel years, but he felt the movie was so bad it was effectively unriffable. That's just what I read somewhere anyway. Not sure if it's actually true. I tried to watch this unriffed before the riff came out. I couldn't see how they could possibly pull it off, the movie was so unwatchable. But it ended up being one of their best riffs ever.
Absolutely nothing in this “movie” makes sense, but for some reason, the thing that makes the LEAST amount of sense is the sudden, completely random appearance of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. What the hell was THAT all about?
I just finished watching Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny..Ummmm...WHAT THE F@&K WAS THAT!?!? I haven't felt this way since watching Manos The Hands of Fate. Good Lawd, I'm convinced that the same drugs that drove the people who made Ice Cream Bunny are the same drugs that drove the other mental patients to make Manos!
"Look at me!" Bill: I'm a fucking mole! Bill: *cries: We're dead, aren't we, guys? We're dead and in Hell! Something happened in the studio, an explosion or some carbon monoxide, and now we're roasting in eternal torment! That's the only rational explanation. Mike: Yep, and even Satan is thinking "Y'know, maybe this time I went too far!".
mst3k created by joel was cancelled. because of legal reasons, without joel, the mst3k guys had to create a new show. so mike nelson created rifftrax with kevin and bill.
Oh......no.....Oh god, what I did right BEFORE watching this video has seriously made it that more crazy....and SCARY! WHAT THE HELL WERE THESE PEOPLE THINKING!?!?!?! The Thumbalina story quality seemed like it could turn into a porno at any minute....and the rest of it, I just........shit, I think I'm speechless too. I definatley have to keep in mind what NOT to partake in before watching the Ice Cream Bunny again! lmao
@Adamgontierfan19 Yeah, I have. I noticed it a lot in MST3K that when he took over for Servo that Servo had a LOT of breakdowns from how much shit most movies were. Maybe it's a nod from the guys.
Kevin: Aw, whaddya know about houses or happiness?! You were just created! BOOOOO!! Bill: Boo!! Stop pretending to have knowledge of the world, n00b! Kevin: YOU SUCK!!!
I'm going to be 110% honest right now, and I know that anyone can say anything on the Internet and freely speak their minds regardless of the veracity and honesty of their claims, but... ...Eraserhead was more mundane than this film. There. I said it.
@Kemonokami I see what you mean. I couldn't sit through it because I didn't wanna spend god knows how long watching a guy with a funny hairstyle slowly living his miserable life of mutated babies and bleeding chickens. Yes, movie. You're cutting a chicken, yes, that guy is walking. And?
hiliarous the funniest rifftrax live show was the mst3k reunion this was the second funniest movie that rifftrax made fun of the third movie was planet of dinosaurs
"Elves love playing with decapitated, trademark-infringing dog heads!" Thank you, Bill, for stating the obvious.
I know Rifftrax is just the actual guys heckling these and has no story, but given the voices and personalities I always imagined if it had a plot it would be after the last episode of MST3K when the SOL crashed, Mike and the bots on Earth got a job heckling movies and selling the CDs online along with a few DVD releases, but the bots pretend to be real people using giant Bill and Keven puppets.
This makes "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" look like "Inception."
"Have a deeply disturbing Christmas, everyone!" I think that about sums this film up; thank God I was watching the Rifftrax version, though. ;)
Bill Corbett doing the bunny laugh may be the funniest thing I've ever heard.
The only thing that could make this Riff better is the silhouettes of Mike and the bots
Fer serious, I was OVERJOYED when the "Thumbelina" portion started.

Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like a Santa smelling of bolonga and malt liqour,a story that would make Satan scared,and the guys of Rifftrax.Merry f***ing Christmas!
for years, i've been searching for a movie that's even worse than "Manos the Hands of Fate." now i've found it!
Boromir: "What is this new devilry?"
That quote comes to mind when watching this.
HURRR HURRR HURRR HURHURHURHURHURHURHUR HUUUUURRRRRR HUUUUUURRRRRRR HUUUUURRRRRR kevin was never the same again
Mike: Yes, there it is! The sun! Which is hot! The hot sun! 'Cuz this is Florida! LET'S MOVE ON!!!
Bill: Seconded!
Kevin: It's hot.
Gotta love that. XD
"We came through time, space, and the boundaries of fiction for that?"
Priceless!
"It must be destroyed by the Daggers of Megiddo!" Megiddo is the archeological dig where the aforementioned daggers were found; they're the only way to kill the Antichrist. Which is giving the Ice Cream Bunny an awful lot of credit.
Meggido? In the Jezreel Valley? THAT Megiddo?? hahaha
Jokes like that remind you why MST3K won a Peabody award back in the day.
i think that it's also a reference to "The Omen."
Kevin's scream of terror is all that is needed to describe this bad trip of a movie!!
No matter how many times I watch this episode, I always picture Tom Servo having a breakdown in the theater
3:31
11 years ago some friends of mine and I tried to watch this movie. Despite having tons of experience watching bad movies and bringing along a LOT of alcohol, we couldn't get through it. Thank god for RiffTrax. :D
6:27 Just a montage of Bill's spot on creepy bunny laugh.
Not even Manos: The Hands of Fate was this bad.
“I cannot stand the light you see”
‘I am quite evil as you see’
I downloaded the entire movie from Rifftrax and watched it all the way through. Take it from me, the Thumbellina segment makes this more watchable. If not for that I surely would have cracked within 20 minutes.
One of my favorite parts was one you left out. When They first show the bunny mike just says flat out "of course". This was a scary movie.
And then the grungy pa box narrated the story.....
This was a steal at 9.99. Some of the best dollars I ever spent.
Well at least the old mole lady can stand up faster than Torgo!
"How Not to Make a Movie" is what this should have been called.
Well it was basically just an advertisement. I wonder if Pirate Land still exists?
Simon Leary It doesn’t. In fact, Pirate Land was closed shortly after this film.
My mom said it looks like the inside of a serial killer’s head.
And then the grungy PA box narrated the story of Thumbalina to the girl at Pirates World who imagined it in her mind looking something like this...
And so the PA described how the witch continued to mince about for a while not speaking just fiddling mostly HO HO HO HO
Santa why the clumsy framing device...why?
I'll pull the sleigh, I'll marry Mr. Digger!
0:04 - 0:08
young Egoraptor loves playing with snoopy's head
I hope that all of the people who made this film either learned from their mistakes and never made another film ever again, or now roast in the everlasting and eternal fires of hell. Actually, I do hope it's the latter.
"Ah, well. Guys, if you don't mind, I've got this one."
"*inhales* AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
"And then the grungy PA box narrated the story as a girl looked on.."
I'm surprised Kevin's vocal cords didn't give out after THAT frightening little moment.
I remember when I first downloaded the VOD. During the Santa segments I started giggling nervously, like the movie was going to come at me with a knife. The Thumbelina segments became sweet relief after that.
The Ice Cream Bunny...I'm glad I didn't know about him back when I did acid.
Well, at least you can't say it was an exciting rescue.
The film itself was THE WEIRDEST damn thing I've ever seen
the sequel: Manos and the Ice Cream Bunny of Fate
3:46 Rejected Skeksis from the Dark Crystal
Will Lyon i like to imagine those are the costumes Brian Henson made and shown them to Jim, and Jim threw them in the garbage because they were that horrible
The guy that The Great Escape was based on. The one who escaped from the Nazis.
I could not make that up if I tried.
@TheRhuen
Heck, there are times I can see those sillouettes in the corner perfectly 8)
Thumbalina kept reminding me of Susan Dey. Maybe it was her sister "Bambi" Dey.
I think Bill summed this movie up perfectly when he said, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I thought it was Kevin that did that.
@@maniacaldude It was Kevin.
@@superspeedbros I know, but this guy assumed it was Bill that let out that blood-curdling scream.
Surprising this wasn't on MST3K.
I showed this video to my mom, and she said that this was like watching a video of an insane person's mind...
Coke came out of my nose during the leg shattering joke XD
To quote Brad, "THIS MOVIE HUUURTS!"
DEEP HURTING!
DEEEEP HURTING!!
Holy shit, Kevin...still, though...not Batman & Robin
0:52 Mike's Matthew McConaughy impersonation from Dazed and Confused is dead on the money!
I bet even Mr. McConaughy himself would be impressed
"You smell like Baloney and Malt Liquor" 😂
Whoever it was screaming was c'est magnifique! (sp?)
That would be Kevin.
The bunny made me cry
The embodyment of everything wrong with small amusement parks.
Just think. As long as there never has or likely ever will be a good movie about Santa Clause (and if you cite Miricle on 34th Street to counter my argument, so help me I'll belt you) the guys will always have movies to riff.

3:37 - Oh, Christ! Poor Kevin! ...but then... 5:16 - OH SWEET JESUS!!! HAVE MERCY ON KEVIN'S TORMENTED SOUL!!!
I am so freaked out right now
and then he leaves all the kids (and the dog) to die......
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
James Rolf sent me here!
"Look at me." "I'm a (BLEEP) mole!"
Cinemassacre
@TheSchizoKing Yeah, he did a review on this.
good old fashioned nightmare fuel

Sorry about that last comment, got the names mixed up.
@Psychid45
The movie itself is on youtube. :D
6:50
mageto?
Magneto?
CEREBRO!?!
RollOnToVictory Miggedo. used to kill the Antichrist.
Why the clumsy framing device!?!? Santa why?
good lord
@PunchSydeiron
If only the fire truck exploded at the end.
He's made of ice cream and he's a bunny!
@PunchSydeiron Where's the fire? And the out-of-place child star?
mst3k created by joel was cancelled. because of legal reasons, without joel, the mst3k guys had to create a new show. so mike nelson created rifftrax with kevin and bill.
Santa = Satan.
I'm So Baked Right Now
@Psychid45
Nope, hah.
mike nelson watches a lot of bad movies when he was on MST3K. this is the worst!
4:22 I'm a F*CKING mole
Oh......no.....Oh god, what I did right BEFORE watching this video has seriously made it that more crazy....and SCARY! WHAT THE HELL WERE THESE PEOPLE THINKING!?!?!?! The Thumbalina story quality seemed like it could turn into a porno at any minute....and the rest of it, I just........shit, I think I'm speechless too.

1:53
"Ah! She's tryin to set em on Fire with her mind!"
3:33 has got to be the best reaction I've ever heard from these guys.
6:27 - 6:50 I AM NOW DEAD.
@PunchSydeiron not enough explosions.
Kevin: Aw, whaddya know about houses or happiness?! You were just created! BOOOOO!!
Bill: Boo!! Stop pretending to have knowledge of the world, n00b!
Kevin: YOU SUCK!!!
@LanceHertford
Not sure if that's dark humor or if that really happened.
Who the heck comes up with these movies??
6:27 - 6:47 over and over again, hahahaha!
@NewGuy2534 Oh yeah, check out the MST3K version of it, great laughs.
6:27 - 6:47 I almost died.
6:26 - 6:47 Oh God...
@Saavykaas
Sadly, yes.
I'm going to be 110% honest right now, and I know that anyone can say anything on the Internet and freely speak their minds regardless of the veracity and honesty of their claims, but...
...Eraserhead was more mundane than this film.
There. I said it.
Wasn't it also the one that the movie "The Great Escape" was based around? Read that somewhere, dunno if it's true or not.
I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ!
@Kemonokami
I see what you mean. I couldn't sit through it because I didn't wanna spend god knows how long watching a guy with a funny hairstyle slowly living his miserable life of mutated babies and bleeding chickens.
Yes, movie. You're cutting a chicken, yes, that guy is walking. And?
hiliarous the funniest rifftrax live show was the mst3k reunion this was the second funniest movie that rifftrax made fun of the third movie was planet of dinosaurs
@Anynom Wait, thats a real movie?
3:32 - 3:53 is so fucking perfect i just choked on my own laughter
