Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) shaped the collective sense of humor of a generation. By coaxing jokes out of B-movies and mixing in pop culture references for good measure. They turned movie riffing into an art form and earned a cult following, two Emmy nominations and a Peabody Award.

Manos: The Hands of Fate










(Short: Hired!, Part 2) A hapless family on a car trip in rural Texas take refuge at an inn run on behalf of The Master by the satyr Torgo, harboring a deadly cult. Widely considered to be one of the worst films ever made, and considered by fans to be one of the best episodes ever. Watch for all the wives in what is called a "gentle rumble". Catch phrase: "I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away". In the conclusion of a two-part short, our sales manager hero gets advice from his handkerchief-wearing dad.
