I'm 25, my dad raised me on mst3k and I remember this comment when it was 1 year old ha ha I am proud to give you the 69th like 45 minutes into 2024. My favorite's the Blur reference lol
Considering how the Wild World of Batwoman is one of the most corny and painfully bad films to ever exist, no wonder there's a LOT of batman riffs in this episode.
The same thing happened to me in 7th grade. I was the "Mary" and the hot girl behind me was the "John." We got caught after a few successful cheat exchanges where I helped her out and we both got a zero on the assignment. I wasn't some student council nerd so there they were minimal consequences. She apologized repeatedly and also wrote that she "loved" me in the yearbook that year, so I'm gonna go with net positive.
@@Dionysoshaman and I salute you for loving that bit as well good sir. It's my favorite part of this short (love Kevin Murphy) 😆... but then again the entire short is great!
4:47 I don't know about you, but having a ghost pop up every time I tried to cut corners on something like that would make me think twice about cheating on anything!
Me too. As painfully unwatchable, god-awful, and tortuous that batwoman movie is, the host segments make up for it, Servo being arrogant and nerdy about the short, Crow showing his mischievous side by plagiarizing Gypsy's essay and Servo wanting to EXECUTE him for it. Even Gypsy has a huge role in all of this episode's host segments, even with having more lines in them, so it's a go for me!
I did that riff once on Super Mario Sunshine regarding Mario being wrongfully convicted in one of the most unjust kangaroo courts in all of fiction! "Fortunately, your mob ties will get you off, Mario."
Doesn't John get a chance to speak for himself with the student council? Being tried, convicted, and punished in absentia doesn't seem like due process. While I don't know what kind of defense he could mount ("Yeah, I cheated plenty of times. Sue me."), maybe explaining the pressure he was under and throwing himself on their mercy would work. Calling a few of the council members out "Harper Valley PTA"-style might also work.
This is from the 1950s. All he had to do was blame communism, and point the finger at Mary for trying to recruit him to the communist party. Done deal.
I had an incident in 7th grade where a fellow student and I had the exact same answers to a geography test. Thing was, we sat next to each other. The teacher wanted to rule out we cheated, which we didn't, so she had us retake the test. We passed and got the grade from the original exam. Even though no cheating was involved, just having it hang there made me feel bad.
1:55 "Mother Theresa called, she hates you." I will never stop laughing so hard even after all these years!!! It took me by surprise and was so shocking. I love saying that line whenever I can.🤣😂🤣
If Johnny had any sense he would have prepared a decoy paper slip to turn over in case he got caught. It could have been a fake love not. Or he could have just eaten the paper he got caught with and said it was a love note.
Nowadays kids get bullied for not cheating on tests like ‘normal kids’. Nowadays it’s expected to cheat or else you you will be disliked and considered weird.
I have a theory, and this is it.... David Lynch was warped by a steady diet of these films in school. I'm not kidding... Oh Shush. Cheating-Eraserhead... Last Clear Chance- Mulholland Drive... Once Upon a Honeymoon- Wild at Heart... Blue Velvet... uh, okay so it kinda' breaks down at this point but hey, Hired coulda' been a Coen Brothers film for sure!
MutantSentry Nothing EXPLAINS Twin Peaks... well maybe one or two Twilight Zone episodes. (certainly, Lynch Himself never came down off the mountain long enuf' to explain it) I think by the time of That Production Our Boy had graduated to a School of Thought that was all His own and had had His fill of indoctrination like, Appreciating our Parents! No, He'd moved on to Shop Class and was building Stuff that teetered and tottered but in some weird way, Held together long enuf' to get the attention of the Art Class and from there...?
BRAVO, Professor *****! You have earned Tenure for your insightful... insight into the mind of, David Lynch! (and a permanent seat on the Satellite of Love!)
Lol.. at 3:48 actually happened to me in reverse. I was sitting next to a girl in 4th grade and we would get these reading assignments.. anyway she was wearing headphones one day (my teacher was very lax) and shouting out ("hey i'm done with mine! let me see yours to make sure i got the answers right!"). The whole class looked up.. luckily the teach was off smoking her usual bathroom cigarette so we were cool.
It just occurred to me I've forgotten how to factor quadratic equations... And I used to be such an expert at it I wrote a fucking program to do it in high school.

@@AssdMusicChannelKevin Murphy was always the funniest screamer of the three guys.
4:49 😛
“Your one mistake, you signed your test Mary Matthews”
“For the first time, Johnny feels REAL power”
Johnny was also stripped of his Posture Pal privileges.
"You've made some powerful enemies, son."
is that yoou student counselor
"I don't think anyone who cheats should hold office."
The irony!
I was thinking the same thing.
*politics intensifies*
This only gets more ironic as time goes on
It's amazing they can get away with it forever, what with all of you holding them accountable with your empty rhetoric.
Indeed!!!
"Was there a shadow of doubt in Ms. Granny's face when she looked at you?"
Crow: ... or was it lust?
"Well, why don't they call?"
_Cause they don't like you_
That hit hard.
"Ding ding ding! Put your pencil down and step away from the desk!"
Kills me Everytime!
Awesome ding ding ding
Every time an alarm goes off in any movie we're watching, we quote that line.
let me see that....
wow thats randy
holy shit, the no-ribcage dude is comedy gold.
Crow's Riddler at the end is spot on
Frank Gorshin would be proud.
Trace always did the best impressions.
Considering how the Wild World of Batwoman is one of the most corny and painfully bad films to ever exist, no wonder there's a LOT of batman riffs in this episode.
The funny thing about the movie was that it was made in '74 and it was in b/w.
"Really should be talking through our lawyers" "you've made some powerful enemies son." Haha.
"But now, with the honor of the job, went the necessity of keeping your grades up."
"And your enemies DOWN."
"If you want, I could turn him into furniture." Ed Gein references are the best.
BONG!
"Well, why don't they call? They've had plenty of time to decide."
How about because it's ONE A.M.?
Jim: I don't think anyone who cheats should hold an office.
...If only everyone thought the same way today.
Cheating? I think he should be voted class president and most likely to succeed in politics.
The same thing happened to me in 7th grade. I was the "Mary" and the hot girl behind me was the "John." We got caught after a few successful cheat exchanges where I helped her out and we both got a zero on the assignment. I wasn't some student council nerd so there they were minimal consequences.

"Put down your pencil and step away from your desk!"
“Now was this Ingmar Bergman’s first American film?”
"A Centron Production-although we got the idea from a different company, because we're cheating! Thank you."
God, cracks me up every time.
same.
RIDDLE ME THIS, BATMAN!!!
Lol!
"oh hi Miss Granby, ahhhhhhhh!!! get it away"... lmao!
I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in my love for that part . Kills me everytime and never gets old! So I salute you good sir!
@@Dionysoshaman 😆

"You commited a mortal sin"
His boy Jim threw John under the bus.
Yup, and this after enabling John's further bad behavior with The Hamburger Incident.
@@TheOneTrueFingal "The Hamburger Incident" lmao I love it!
Crow: "Mother Theresa called. She hates you."
Jesus he cheated on a math test, and yet you treat him like he just committed a murder
snakes3425
Back in the 50’s it was like murder.
Collapse of all feelings of self worth at that particular age could lead to life long devastating repercussions.
@@poetcomic1 the rise in feelings of self worth being buoyed by the thrill of "I got away with it!" was always destined to fail
The 1950's really must've been a bad, sexist time, even if you do something minor like cheating once, they portrayed it like genocide.
Its a shame they didn't include the host segments with this. They were hilarious!
"Cheating is bad. Richard Basehart is good."
Me too. As painfully unwatchable, god-awful, and tortuous that batwoman movie is, the host segments make up for it, Servo being arrogant and nerdy about the short, Crow showing his mischievous side by plagiarizing Gypsy's essay and Servo wanting to EXECUTE him for it. Even Gypsy has a huge role in all of this episode's host segments, even with having more lines in them, so it's a go for me!
Back when the worst thing that could happen was you were downgraded in popularity status
"Thankfully your mob ties will get you off Johnny"
Certainly worked for the Teamsters, eh? 😎
And if they leave him hanging out to dry, he can always accuse his parents.
I did that riff once on Super Mario Sunshine regarding Mario being wrongfully convicted in one of the most unjust kangaroo courts in all of fiction!
"Fortunately, your mob ties will get you off, Mario."
Johnny used those kids from the juvenile delinquency short to whack Jack Martin.
"Whack 'em. Whack 'em good."
the Bergmann riff was so on point
sorta half expected to see a dude in a cloak with a chessboard in johns room at some point
Doesn't John get a chance to speak for himself with the student council? Being tried, convicted, and punished in absentia doesn't seem like due process.

He should have exposed the secrets of the other student council members.
This is from the 1950s. All he had to do was blame communism, and point the finger at Mary for trying to recruit him to the communist party. Done deal.
@Pat Hutchison sad thing is, that would work.
You give this short film too much credit.
"And you went on as before"
Eating hamburgers while the world cried!
5:09 -- You were busier than ever with sports. (Shaving points.)
BWAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahaha!

"Hello?"
"THIS IS JIM!"

"Eating hamburgers while the world cried" -tom servo
“John, this is Geography.”
Johnny changed his name to Henry Hill, and started running with the Vario crew.
8:01
"By the way, have you seen my ribcage?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Geez this guy could freak out Jamie Gumb." Classic! Excellent reference.
“If you want I could turn him into furniture.”
I will bring you down, Johnny!
"You worked her like a punch press Johnny."
If Johnny had any sense he would have prepared a decoy paper slip to turn over in case he got caught. It could have been a fake love not. Or he could have just eaten the paper he got caught with and said it was a love note.
I know. Any real cheater knows how to avoid getting caught.
3:45 So you decided to take a chance.
"Pssst...HEY MARY! WHAT'S THE ANSWER?"
Mrs. Grandby's ghostly appearances in this short reminds me of the dead woman in the movie Tormented (from MST3K's 4th season).
Roadvirus1 “JOHN TAYLOR KILLED ME! JOHN TAYLOR KILLED ME!”
TORRRRMENTED!
Nowadays kids get bullied for not cheating on tests like ‘normal kids’. Nowadays it’s expected to cheat or else you you will be disliked and considered weird.
:38 " a young frank Kafka awaits his fate"😂
I hated Algebra. The textbook had the odd answers (#1, #3, #5, etc.) in the back and strangely those were the only ones I got correct!
My teachers always told us to only do the even numbers. It's like they knew.
I think I had those same Saxon books. Our school replaced all of them with a worse series when I was a junior
I hated algebra too. The good thing is that unless you’re entering a scientific or engineering field, there’s basically no such thing as algebra.
Servo screaming made my day!
You made some powerful enemies, son.
Will the senator please yield??
When the grandfather clock is more interesting than the story.
The Ronald Reagan at 6:30 is an overlooked highlight
Homer: He did say "well" a lot!
You know, in all fairness to John, I had some trouble with factoring expressions. Unlike Johnny, I actually put forth some effort to learn it.
"You talkin' to me? Hey!"
04:47 - Priceless! Absolutely priceless! XD
Keep your grades up, AND YOUR ENEMIES DOWN!

So is there a short that explains Twin Peaks? Maybe What to do on a Date?

Sweet Mary, nooo!! 🤣🤣
psst HEY MARY! WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
I’d like to see a RiffTrax version of the full short. This one is actually abridged.
Gee, kids. It's simple! Just find the factors of c and find the ones that will add up to b! See? Factoring's easy!
"I envision a cheating wing."
Most colleges with a huge athletic program already have.
ever notice all the shorts featured serial killers. I never realized how dark the gang was lol...
+Saniel Dingleton Found out about that "Jame Gumb" reference, it's the real name of Buffalo Bill from Silence Of the Lambs.
"By the way, have you seen my rib cage?"
It just occurred to me I've forgotten how to factor quadratic equations...
And I used to be such an expert at it I wrote a fucking program to do it in high school.
Have you seen my ribcage
now how do you do it?
LETS JUST CHEAT!
See, why did his buddy just sell him out like that?
Mary could at least try to be subtle when she helps john cheat
By the way have you seen my rib cage
