My late husband told me how this movie, The Mole Men, terrified him as a little kid. But then we watched it on MST3K and laughed ourselves silly. It was one of my happy memories of watching this show with him and how we had such fun watching it together. I've been watching all of these when I can, they are so silly and we all need some silly laughs now.
Almost 20 years ago, my mom, sister and I found ourselves in a hotel in San Diego, the day before my eldest brother's graduation from Marine Corps boot camp. Killing time, we were flipping through the channels and came upon some weird... nature documentary? We weren't sure at first. We then noticed three figures in the corner of the screen. The magic moment happened a few seconds later: "We'll make camp here." "Then dig our graves over there!" And that's how I discovered MST3K. This is the first time I've watched this particular episode since that fateful day. I credit this show with my oh-so-witty snark. I'll be forever grateful.
Saturday morning 1994: Walking through the living room. My husband had TV on but was ignoring it. I don't remember what movie or what riff but something filtered through... It was MST3K. I was hooked. Husband is long gone but MST remains in 2024.
the earliest memory I have on this planet is sitting in front of an old tube TV, holding a plastic dinosaur and watching MST3K. I always loved the little doors that open. glad to see its still around. stay gold boys.
The beginning with the professor is hilarious, but what really tickles me is hearing the guys giggle like little kids as they listen to each other make comments. Priceless!

Quarantine got me watching a lot of MST3K again. I knew they did all this in MN but i was surprised at the very end when i saw (i believe) former minnesota vikings RB, robert smith.... I used to love that guy when he played.
Same here. Quarantine binge. Saw that last bit and thought, "He looks like Robert Smith. Naaaaaah, couldn't be." Turns out, holy crap, it was! Listed in the credits. Cameo by a Minnesota local celebrity.
Hey fellow MSTies... I love you. No, seriously. You guys are some of the funniest, most delightfully weird and erudite people I've ever encountered, and it's because of you that we have another season. So to you I say: Thank you, and Hi-Keeba. WE DID IT!!!!
I’m so glad this show still has so many fans and that it lives on. I used to watch the OG episodes (with Joel!) when I was a teenager, and it warped me in all the best ways.
Agreed, I enjoyed the Netflix seasons, but NOTHING comes close to the Originals even though this one was hysterical, even though Trace was the Greatest Crow
Ishtar was one of the oldest goddesses worshiped throughout the Middle east, going back to Mesopotamian times. She was a goddess of love, sex, and war.
I just think that bit where Mike is pretending to be the professor saying Down, Down Down and then after he says he is sorry to Crow he says Down Down Down and Crow and Servo Yell at Mike. Ha ha ha
At 40:49, when Agar, Beaumont and The Load are being tied up by the Mole People, you can see that one of the Mole People isn't wearing his mask. He probably needed to be unmasked to see what he was doing, but the camera operator didn't keep his face out of the shot.
If I had to rate this episode, I think it would definitely make the top 5. I know a lot of people will disagree, but Manos is their crowning achievement. It's number 1.
The sacrificial dance scene around an hour and a quarter into the movie was hilarious! Just the dance alone had me laughing out loud! I had to replay several times to catch the riffs they were throwing down on top of it because I couldn't hear them over my laughs. :D
This is definitely in my Top 20 of fave MST3K episodes! I will always have a special place in my heart for this movie and the way it's riffed so perfectly!❤
Well they do say they're speaking Babylonian is just translation convention for the audience, the real question is how in thousands of years they language did not change
Put it this way: If they spoke Babyonian you can be sure that NO ONE in the audience would understand it; hell most of them don't understand perfect English.
Some people did the math on the length of the fall and figured out that's almost exactly how long it would've taken Crow to fall one mile under normal gravity. Given what nerds the writers are, it wouldn't surprise me if they did that deliberately!
I don't know if this has already been add: Near the opening of the episode, Mike pulls out Crow's eyes and says "Out, Out, vile jelly"--- That's a line from King Lear.
@@justinpino8115 Originally this video had annotations explaining the various references and jokes. Then at some point that ceased to be the case. But it did make sense to point out one that the compiler missed.
Crow falling from the top of his cake is a favorite. I haven't worked out the math, but it's long enough to make me laugh. Also, Mike's "Oh my hips" as he asks for "just a skoch" of a mile-high cake is brilliantly subtle.
I feel like "If you're going down into a giant underground cavern make sure that other people know what you're doing and where you are" is one of the things they teach in introductory archaeology courses.
I also enjoyed mike ‘s skit as well because not only was it hilarious it also shows your how hard he tries to be funny which to me he not only entertaining to watch he is funny in his own way but always gets shut down by Tom and Crow. Seeing him snapping at both of the robots for forcing him to watch their skits when to him they were not funny at all but were actually annoying to watch, He wants to explain why he does not like their skits but instead he keeps his mouth shut because in previous Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes the last times he explained to the bots why he did not like their skits they got very angry with him and still forced him to watch their skits whether he liked it or not, After that Mike quickly learned that in order not to deal with the wrath of the bots again in the near future was to keep quiet and watch the skit to avoid getting scolded and yelled at. Then when he tries to make his own skits they think that they are boring and unfunny. It’s really funny how Joel the first host of this show was a father figure to Tom and Crow since he built them himself and Mike is an Older Brother Figure to Tom Servo and Crow but At 25:00- 26:17 When Tom says “Hey Mike come over here honey?.”is what a mom would call her husband and children when she wanted to get them to stop whatever they are doing to have a talk about what’s going on with them as a family. Servo is the Mom , Crow is the Friend and Mike is Tom’s son. Tom Servo and Crow are not only younger brothers to Mike Tom is a combination of a little brother and a mom to Mike , Crow is the little brother/ overbearing friend to calm him down whenever he get angry or upset about something. This is the reason why I like Mike as the second host I like Joel too but Joel is more levelheaded and does not truly say how he feels about something he keeps it to himself. Mike on the other hand is very emotional, has a bit of a temper but is also very clumsy but he means well and even though he is not as calm as Joel is he is not afraid to speak his mind about something he disagrees with.
Such a great episode. One of my favorite fabulous funny freakouts. I just love the foreshadowing in this one... If you know what to look for, you can really see Mike latching on to the "down down down" joke before the bots grow tired of the bit.
This movie is basically Road to El Dorado but bad... “Crow and Tom Servo! Tom Servo and Crow! Mighty and powerful GODS Mi-mi-mi-mi-mighty and powerful GODS!”
Crow often mentions a band from 60-70's just in a passing comment. Tonight is was Uriah Heap and on one he mentioned Wishbone Ash which I haven't heard mentioned in years. Love these shows.
Tore myself away from the Foreverathon to enjoy this gem. The 24/7 stream is going great, just wish we could see the host-segments from episodes like this on there.
Missed Annotation: 37:57 "There IS a place for fun in our lives!" refers to a Twin Cities, MN TV commercial for the Mall of America featuring the jingle, "There's a place for fun in your life... the Mall of America!"

He barely survived. No one in their right mind would go there anymore unless you want to risk being slashed & attacked.
When I first saw this episode I had no idea they were already in season 8. I thought it was a brand new show. But even after seeing all of those other 100+ episodes this one is still probably in my top 30. I love it.
i can not wait for new episodes!!! hurry up Joel!!! it's been WAAAAAAAAAY too long. this should have never gone off the air. NEVER. now that it's being brought back it should never again stop. mst3k now and forever. just imagine these guys with the movies like The Room, Birdemic, and anything Neil Breen has ever made. Ahhhh! I'm so excited! More! New! Yes! Now! Hurry! Ahhhhh!!!!!
Well, when I'm wrong, i'm WRONG. I admit it. Great job on the new episodes, and yes - I've already seen them all. Even SuperPersons can be wrong. Y'all should learn from my example. That's why I'm Super.
When I win the Powerball, I will pay them to do 5000 more episodes of General Hospital. With a handful of Facts of Life and Little House on the Prairie.
Don't believe this! I've actually just started to learn cuneiform; well last week. Stopped for the day and decided to watch some MST 3K. and now this films started talking about it!! Also, as an archaeologist, I'm amazed how easy it was to retrieve that stone tablet out of the stratigraphic layer. Just slid right out and dusted it off easliy. Somehow we must have lost these techniques because now we do it the really hard way!!
I possibly could, had it been Sumerian cuneiform; I at least could recognize it as not being Sumerian, to say nothing of it being at least 3x's bigger than a usual clay tablet! The bigger they are, the or likely they are to break; as well as being heavy!
Apparently, Adad's death was studio-mandated. She's a Sumerian character (never mind that the actress playing her is white as a ghost), and pairing her with John Agar's character was too close to portraying an interracial relationship for some of the 1950s producers. That's the Hays Code for you.
@@allisonhomiak2336 Noooooooo... Are you shitting me!? It makes sense now that you said it but that is some reasoning. Let's make the plot include how a white man saves a race of beings different from him even though the ones beating them have more in common with the MC because he's an example of fairness and equality not to mention destroy the elitist world, but under no circumstances can you show a white man walk away with another white woman, sure she's Sumerian but you could call her an albino Sumerian, because that's just _too much._ I mean I sorta get the thinking but it's kind of ass backwards, then again it's not that different from some of the decisions studios and the MPAA/BBFC make today.
It's (Remember IT? What a great movie) not (Isn't not spelled with a K? That's knot a knot!) at (Wait, they had email addresses in the 1950s? Why are they using @?) all (Hey, all rhymes with ball. Balls? Get it?) annoying (Wow, a three syllable word. This guy is a cunning linguist.) to (Did anyone else read JacobTwoTwo and the Hooded Fang?) have (Is that correct grammer? Where's Grammarly when you need it?) constant (How can a 90 minute video be constant? This makes no sense.) interruptions (I cant remember how this sentence started. What was my point again?)
I don't remember the episode but Croow was wearing like mile high heels and fell over, was basically the same bit (looooong screm as he slowly fell) if anyone knows what Im talking about and remembers the episode lemm know!!

The best lineup the show has ever had right here. The Rifftrax boys.
Such a great episode. One of my favorite fabulous funny freakouts. I just love the foreshadowing in this one... If you know what to look for, you can really see Mike latching on to the "down down down" joke before the bots grow tired of the bit.
"I could go on forever about the silence" got me
Can't get annotations to display on the RUclips app but I love the official, free episodes!
Greg Lytmer ...someone not complaining....wow!
As a non american, Thank you for so much for these annotations. I learn something about American Culture everytime I watch this.
America has no culture
hahasimp
If America DOES have any culture, IT'S THIS!!!!!!
We have culture, though it's pretty superficial. :)
This is the BEST of what we have to offer. Enjoy !
Issac Medina yes we do. Its just we have so much nobody notices
Jazz cultural
Rock cultural
Motorist cultural
Internet cultural etc...
Ah yes, the Mole people. Makers of fine authentic Mexican brown sauce!
Took me a moment. Now I want some mole poblano.
This made me laugh harder than I should have, good job!
Thomas Patton I do what I can. At least you guys were able to get the reference.
you'd get more credit if you hadn't ripped that riff off directly from the episode.
One Stop Infotainment Impored from Turkey perhaps? :-)
Mike looks like a young Michael Keaton. Crow: "Asia, well that narrows it down." 😆
Better looking than Keaton
ASIA - "Well, that narrows it down." 😄 "Jack Nicholson's house!!" 😂
"Get out of my chair, Lieutenant Crown Roast" is the funniest line ever and it bothers me that most of my coworkers won't understand the reference.
"Uh, this is unpleasant." "Just pretend it's Adam Sandler." "Uh! Suddenly it's great!"
Re-watching old MST3K videos picks me up... up, up.
Thank you, thank you for re-releasing this on youtube! One of my favorites... And missed it greatly!
This movie is basically Road to El Dorado but bad...
“Crow and Tom Servo!
Tom Servo and Crow!
Mighty and powerful GODS
Mi-mi-mi-mi-mighty and powerful GODS!”
Former Minnesota Vikings running back Robert Smith is a MYSTie!! Awesome cameo!
thanks for the years of laughter and smiles!
Crow's fall from the mile high meringue pie is still one of the best bits they ever did.
Crow often mentions a band from 60-70's just in a passing comment. Tonight is was Uriah Heap and on one he mentioned Wishbone Ash which I haven't heard mentioned in years. Love these shows.
What's the one where he says, "and this is Alan Parsons in his studio "
"Ya buys yer ticket and
ya takes yer chance."
Words to live by fellas.
Words to live by.
Tore myself away from the Foreverathon to enjoy this gem. The 24/7 stream is going great, just wish we could see the host-segments from episodes like this on there.
38:16 "careful, he's outacting you all". That has to be one of the best ones ever! Laughing my head off
"Maybe we climbed right past the summit!" might be my favorite MST3K line
It’s either that or “never look at me!”
Missed Annotation: 37:57 "There IS a place for fun in our lives!" refers to a Twin Cities, MN TV commercial for the Mall of America featuring the jingle, "There's a place for fun in your life... the Mall of America!" In this wide shot of the ruins it looks like the cavernous interior of the MOA itself.
And today, MOA is a ruin.
It is!? I wanted to try the food court my only interest
@@kathyflorcruz552 Yeah but we're not allowed to say why.
@@kathyflorcruz552 Is it? That's amazing. Nothing summarizes 21st century America better than the acres and acres of dead malls and their weed choked parking lots.
@@a.hollins8691 I meant that it's been taken over by 1000s of the "religion of peace" - where just a few months ago a 4 year old white boy was thrown "accidently" from the 4th tier to die. He barely survived. No one in their right mind would go there anymore unless you want to risk being slashed & attacked.
When I first saw this episode I had no idea they were already in season 8. I thought it was a brand new show. But even after seeing all of those other 100+ episodes this one is still probably in my top 30. I love it.
i can not wait for new episodes!!! hurry up Joel!!! it's been WAAAAAAAAAY too long. this should have never gone off the air. NEVER. now that it's being brought back it should never again stop. mst3k now and forever. just imagine these guys with the movies like The Room, Birdemic, and anything Neil Breen has ever made. Ahhhh! I'm so excited! More! New! Yes! Now! Hurry! Ahhhhh!!!!!
August West So how is it, worth a watch?
You realize that these exact three guys riffed both the Room and Birdemic, right? Or have you just not heard of Rifftrax?
Well, when I'm wrong, i'm WRONG. I admit it. Great job on the new episodes, and yes - I've already seen them all. Even SuperPersons can be wrong. Y'all should learn from my example. That's why I'm Super.
When I win the Powerball, I will pay them to do 5000 more episodes of General Hospital. With a handful of Facts of Life and Little House on the Prairie.
August West yeah, but not the same crew, the new ones suck!!!
This was always one of my favourites. This, Space Mutiny, Cave Dwellers, and The Undead.
I love 'Prince of Space' and 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians'!
They do either the prequel or sequel to Cave Dwellers on Rifftrax. I believe it's called Ator, The Fighting Eagle
Space Mutiny numbah one!
"We need to get down, (there), We need to get Funky"!!! LOL
...can you throw up the parking ticket?
So Crow invented the selfie….awesome
Thank you so uc for posting this! I'm glad you guys are still aound even here, in the much more distant future!
I remember watching this the night it aired for the first time! Amazing that i still remember all the riffs, they're that good!
“Probably shouldn’t have put the world’s oldest record on a cheap card table.”
Lolllllllllolzz
Don't believe this! I've actually just started to learn cuneiform; well last week. Stopped for the day and decided to watch some MST 3K. and now this films started talking about it!!
Also, as an archaeologist, I'm amazed how easy it was to retrieve that stone tablet out of the stratigraphic layer. Just slid right out and dusted it off easliy. Somehow we must have lost these techniques because now we do it the really hard way!!
Can you translate that tablet better than that idiot?
I possibly could, had it been Sumerian cuneiform; I at least could recognize it as not being Sumerian, to say nothing of it being at least 3x's bigger than a usual clay tablet! The bigger they are, the or likely they are to break; as well as being heavy!
The ending to this movie was on a sci-fi "top 10 worst movie endings" list
There is literally no reason they all had to get a bridge dropped on them. Or a pillar, as it were.
@@Dreigonix Yes it went from happy to crappy in one confusing moment.
Good it needs to be!!! No freaking need for that ending😠
Apparently, Adad's death was studio-mandated. She's a Sumerian character (never mind that the actress playing her is white as a ghost), and pairing her with John Agar's character was too close to portraying an interracial relationship for some of the 1950s producers. That's the Hays Code for you.
@@allisonhomiak2336 Noooooooo... Are you shitting me!? It makes sense now that you said it but that is some reasoning.
Let's make the plot include how a white man saves a race of beings different from him even though the ones beating them have more in common with the MC because he's an example of fairness and equality not to mention destroy the elitist world, but under no circumstances can you show a white man walk away with another white woman, sure she's Sumerian but you could call her an albino Sumerian, because that's just _too much._
I mean I sorta get the thinking but it's kind of ass backwards, then again it's not that different from some of the decisions studios and the MPAA/BBFC make today.
54:58 "Contents of Load may have shifted during Death" has got to be one of the Greatest Burns I've ever heard!!
77 dislikes from people going "why are these guys interrupting such a great movie?.."
because they don't know a classic movie when they see 1
They probably didn't enjoy lawgiver daze either
Ahahahaha
It's (Remember IT? What a great movie) not (Isn't not spelled with a K? That's knot a knot!) at (Wait, they had email addresses in the 1950s? Why are they using @?) all (Hey, all rhymes with ball. Balls? Get it?) annoying (Wow, a three syllable word. This guy is a cunning linguist.) to (Did anyone else read JacobTwoTwo and the Hooded Fang?) have (Is that correct grammer? Where's Grammarly when you need it?) constant (How can a 90 minute video be constant? This makes no sense.) interruptions (I cant remember how this sentence started. What was my point again?)
@@robotnoir5299 why are you trying to watch this movie WITHOUT commentary?
"They stumbled into the Hormel meat packing plant."
Ah, but did they see the tail. That horrible tail? (Deep cut for the Rifftrax fans lol)
38:18- Mike: "careful, he's out-acting you all!" **when it shows a stone statue head** LOL!!
I don't remember the episode but Croow was wearing like mile high heels and fell over, was basically the same bit (looooong screm as he slowly fell) if anyone knows what Im talking about and remembers the episode lemm know!!
1012 - Squirm
"gentlemen.." "start your hats..." funniest m-effin thing I have heard in over 72 hours
_"Sumerians."_
*shows Egyptian hieroglyphics*
Nah, that tablet is mostly cuneiform.
@@LoneKharnivore Watch the rest of the movie.
In Asia too. The filmmakers really did their homework.
