Movie Plot: Monster A-Go-Go The search for an astronaut on an alien planet. Also riffed was the short: Circus on Ice.

Intro: The 'bots start a micro-cheese factory. Joel is given a tour. Segment One: Joel's shoes are covered in cheese. Dr. Forrester decides to have an action hero competition: if they win, the crew watches Local Hero; if they lose, they get Monster A-Go-Go. Frank is the judge. The Mads' 'Johnny Longtorso' doll is presented in many separate pieces, to get more money. The 'bots present non-violent action figures. Frank calls the Mads the winner. Segment Two: Gypsy doesn't 'get' Crow. He tries to help, but she can't pinpoint what it is. She realizes that maybe it's Tom she doesn't get. Segment Three: Joel and Tom play keep-away from Crow. He does catch it in his net, but they get another ball. Joel throws a hail mary when movie sign calls. Tom catches it on the top of his dome in the theater. Segment Four: After getting all his chores done, Joel asks the 'bots what questions they have. They ask about the plausibility of the Pina Colada Song. Joel just says it was about two popular things. Segment Five: To try and cheer up the bots, Joel makes Tom a happy king and Crow his jester, Sir Giggles Von Laughs-A-Lot. It does not go well. Dr. F. gloats about their plight until Frank mentions a Matlock marathon on TV.

    Whoever thought of this movie, dead or alive, should be punched in the face. This was no point of making this movie. There was no monster. There was barely a plot. The ending stunk, the story stunk, the movie was boring...but hey! At least there were pretty girls!

    Seriously, this movie was so bad that Joel, Servo and Crow actually seemed to be having trouble coming up with riffs. It was so boring and so badly made that by the time the film was over, you can tell they were upset. Besides Monster-A-Go-Go, there was also a short called Circus on Ice. Yeah...a circus on ice. Really? The short was stupid but at least there was a lot going on on the screen. Try and get through this episode all you want but I garantee after it's over, even you will feel frusterated at what you just watched on that big gray screen.moreless

  • TRIVIA (2)

    ADD TRIVIA

    • As a man disembarks from a plane, Servo jokes that he's "Sununu going for a haircut." He would later reuse this joke in MST3K: The Movie.

    • During the final segment, Joel says "Sir Mix-A-Lot" instead of "Sir Giggles Von Laughsalot." Crow corrects him--half crying, half laughing--and they continue the sketch.

  • NOTES (3)

    ADD NOTES

    • While Dr. F and Frank sing the Johnny Longtorso theme, you can see Frank nearly crack up. He actually does in the Poopie blooper tape.

    • During one slow scene as a man wanders through a field, Joel pulls a can of soda from under his seat and starts to drink it. He refuses to give any to the robots.

    • This episode was originally suppose to be the Elvis western Charro!, but the rights fell through.

  • ALLUSIONS (1)

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • The Gods Must Be Crazy During the opening narration of the movie, the narrator states, "Observers reported that a strange object had fallen to Earth." Crow responds by joking, "A Coke bottle." This is a reference to the film "The Gods Must Be Crazy," where the discovery of a discarded Coca-Cola bottle changes the way of life in a secluded African community.
