MST3K Quiz

Today’s Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss tests your memory of Joel, Mike, the Bots, and the movies of Mystery Science Theater 3000. I loved the show, but was still surprised that I scored as high as 70%. Can you beat that? Link

60%…but then, I haven’t had my coffee yet. And I clicked #9 before I’d read all the answers. @#$%^& trick questions!!!
Man, I miss that show…has anyone here besides me checked out RiffTrax yet? It’s not the same, but the flavor is similar enough to satisfy your fix.
MOVIE SIGN!!!!! Hee!

Woo hoo! 90% Back in the day, I even went on a tour of the MST3K studio. I would have sold any number of vital organs for a chance to work there.
ack! 100% here…but that’s because i am a HUGE fan. i’ve got every ep on tape/dvd. i have checked out RiffTrax.com and i really like it. love it, in fact. also, Joel, Trace, Mary Jo, J. Elvis and TV’s Frank are riffing movies over at CinematicTitanic.com. it’s doubtful that there we will ever have MST back, as it was – but these are the next best things. enjoy, won’t you?

Sorry to anyone who got 100%, but there’s one question whose answer is incorrect, or at least not exclusively true: If Joel/Mike & the bots don’t enter the theater, the Mads shut off the air on the bridge. But then again, “If you’re wondering how they eat or breathe/or other science facts (lalala)/just repeat to yourself, it’s just a show/I should really just relax.”
10 out of 10, but yeah, just like Jodie I’m a huge fan, although I have managed not to see the movie yet.
oh, i forgot to add that there are also the 4 movies riffed by The Film Crew which consisted of mike, bill (crow) and kevin (servo). you can find those on Amazon.com.
hi License Farm! i agree about the electric shock question. i remembered it mentioned that the air to the bridge was cut off. but the question didn’t give that option and i knew there was some penalty – so i just picked that one. in fairness, i also guessed at the “Who hasn’t puplicly proclaimed their love of MST”.
The Mads cut off the air to the satellite, I’ve never seen an episode featuring electric shocks. That said, I’ve never seen all of season 1, so maybe they do that too. In any case, the movie quite clearly shows that Forrester can cut off the oxygen if Joel doesn’t get into the theater.
Also, the question about which celeb hasn’t professed his love? That’s not an MST3K question, it’s some kind of meta-question. I’m bitter because I got it wrong.
on a semi-related note…my doctor’s name is Dr Forrester. whenever i say his name it makes me giggle because, in my head, i’m adding, “…and TV’s Frank”.
Poopie! I only got 70%, but I agree with the meta-question thing.
The episode with the shocks was Lost Continent – show 208. Joel refuses to go into the theater at about 5:38 in this clip and the shocks follow.
