Favorite Costume Worn by a HumanWe did favorite costumes worn by a bot — in fact, I just realized today that we did it twice. Oy.
But alert reader David has a topic we haven’t done, vis:
I think I’d have to pick the Clayton and Frank “gussied up to beat the band” in episode 406- ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES.

Auntie McFrank.
Mike’s Coatimundi Man costume in Puma Man.
Mike as Captain Janeway. “Rolllin…Rollin….Rollin on a riiiiverrrrr!!!!”
I second the Coatimundi man costume…
Mika as a WereCrow.
Valeria Mike, even had the speech pattern down which really solidified the costume.
I agree with werecrow! Lol
Hmmm…..
I’ll go with Mike as Capt. Janeway.
Another call for Mike as a WereCrow. As for the rest, let me run em down:
TV’s Frank – dressed as Tom Servo. Love it when he realises he needs air…
Joel – I think dressed up as the cook from I Accuse My Parents. I love that sketch.
Dr. F – dressed as Billie Jean King.
Pearl – dressed as Patton.
Observer – Gotta go with The Brain Guy in Gold Boots. Can he pony?
Mike as Janeway was scary, but then there’s Mike as evil Spock
(nice beard though).
And while it wasn’t much of a costume, how about Brain Guy
as a stripper)? Can I pony?
Ooh, yes, evil Mike from Last of the Wild Horses for sure…very nice!
My top choice is Joel as the Master from Manos, with his footie robe and cardboardy mustache. He really was too sweet to be intimidating, though.
I think the episode was “Skydivers”, and the opening battle of the swing choirs. As Dr. F comments, their costumes were FABULOUUUS!”
Joel-more of an invention exchange than costume, but still love the BGC-19.
Mike-tie between Captain Janeway and Michael Feinstein, expecially when Dr. F slides across the piano in utter adoration of him on the turkey day segment.
Dr. Forrester-tie between him as a foosball goalie and the full body cast(“it’s…a marshmallow world in the winter….”).
Frank-Joe Besser(can’t remember the episode, but basically dressed as a little boy and saying “Oooooh, I’ll HARM you!!!”)
Pearl-I loved the flannel trucker look she had in Laserblast, but as far as Mary Jo goes, I have to also throw in when she and Bridget were Amazons.
Brain Guy-definitely the the Flashdance look, and can’t think of anything Bill did NOT as Observer that comes to mind.
Bobo-Vaudeville straw hat and cane with stripey jacket. Can’t think of the episode. I liked Kevin as Santa, too.
Bridget-tie between Mr. B, Nuveena, and one of the “space children.”
Paul-SCRATCH, of course.
And I was going to think of one for Josh, too, but for the life of me can’t think of anything he played other than Larry and Tom, so….
Was always a big fan of the Jack Perkins make-up Mike wore, but I guess that doesn’t technically answer the question. I’d have to go with:
Joel- Interesting that unlike Mike, Joel never took off his jumpsuit (I think the closet he came was undoing the top half to show off his muscles in a commercial for one of the Hercules episodes). So I guess I’ll go with his bizarre costume as My White Goddess. Or the Big Head.
Mike- When he got hazed in Kitten With a Whip. No, Mike as Kenny G. No, wait, the choice is obvious: Mike in his bathing suit from The Horror of Party Beach!
Pearl- Pearl had a lot of costume changes over the years, but my favorite look was probably her ball look from Puma-Man (even if they did steal the ‘moving mole’ bit from Robin Hood: Men in Tights…
Frank and Dr. F loved their get-ups at the beginning and end of Angel’s Revenge. Also when they were modeling the Formal Flipper. Grrrrr!
Dr. E- That awesome big-head mutant make-up from The Black Scorpion.
Mike dressed as Torgo the pizza delivery guy.
Mike and Frank as J.C. and Cooch (I mean GOOCH!!) from Sidehackers. That bit make me laugh so hard I nearly cry every time I see it.
Mike Nelson IS Lord of the Daaance!!!
Mike Nelson IS Lord of the Dance! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW3T-7vaX4Q Simple, yet …. a little something for the ladies. ;-)
Jinx, sol-survivor! (sorry about the extra post; I’ve asked it be deleted)
Bill Corbett as Brain Guy in his biker chic outfit, for funny dress up day. “No, I’m going on a date. Don’t wait up for me.”
Mike – gotta agree with his manly beach dance routine. Something for the ladies.
Frank, after drinking the toxic waste mix. Talk about a screaming skull.
All for now.
Week in and week out for the entire Sci-Fi era- Kevin Murphy as Bobo.
I’ll go with my Avatar pic and say Mike as Glenn Manning from the host segents in “The Amazing Colossal Man” and “War of the Colossal Beast”. Oh, as mentioned before, his wife is a great Mr. B. Natural!
#20 you’re right about that trickymutha, Kevin Murphy’s Bobo was awesome. The makeup specialist on the Sci-Fi “Behind the Scenes” said Kevin became a different character when he put the gorilla suit on.
#19 yup Slartibartfast, Brain Guy in leather was very special.. :) They came up with cool bizarre stuff for Brain guy. Nurse, stripper, leather biker, baseball cap backwards, etc.
A real twist was Merlin’s Shop of Magical Wonders when Bobo put on a Monkey costume!
Bobo’s Funny Dress Up Day cowboy outfit really sticks with me. There’s just something about an ape in denim…
Brain Guy as Jessica Beales character from Flashdance (‘Future War’).
Mike as Michael Feinstein was good.
Paul Chaplin as Pitch.
Bill dressed as Phantom of Krankor always makes me laugh.
HEEEH!…HEEEH!…HEEEH!…HEEEH!
Brain Guy as Jessica Beales character from Flashdance (‘Future War’)
MIke as evil spock
Kevin as bobo and romoan guy I forgot his name.
Trace in workman getup (Codename dimaomd head.)
Leiderhosen-hosen
Mike as the cosmonaut was hilarious, even though its not much of a stretch in terms of costumes.
Joel as the Paper Chase guy, again see above. :-p
Frank as Auntie McFrank who obviously can’t cook but is just a fine hostess.
Josh with a massive cranium after some sort of toxic waste leakage at the GI.
Bill in Gold Boots attire is a surefire winner for me.
Kevin as Bobo is no joke. Quite possibly the funniest costumed character on the show!
I tend to watch the episodes in a marathon format so its hard for me to recall the specific episodes. :-p
PS: I didnt post on the bots costumes, but Tom as a butterfly was A #1 Super Time!
Dr. Forrester’s Crow costume, hands down.
“I’M CROW T. ROBOT AND I’M STUCK UP IN SPACE AND I’M GOLD! WHAT A STUPID COLOUR GOLD IS! HA HA HA!”
In second place is Dr. Forrester and Frank as 70’s era tennis players. (“TAKE THIS, YOU LOUSY WOMAN!”)
gaffer tape apparel from “teenagers from outerspace,” just because of joel’s expressions…. especially while twirling the SPIN JAMMER flying disc!
I really laugh at Joel dressed up as the evil guy from “Cave Dwellers” complete with the armored helmet with a duck or whatever it was on it.
mike as janeway,crow as a bellarian from SPACE MUTINY.it just struck me funny when he came in with that sheer cloak,red lips and poodle hair and declared”i’m a bellarian.it explains alot about me”servo and his duplicate servos as the just got over the plague madrigal choir from QUEST OF THE DELTA KNIGHTS[sing along now,”i’m strong and i’m pretty and i got these!they look really good in fake hair!”]
Mike as Torgo, Michael Feinstein, and Morrissey have always been some of my favorites. Dr F & Frank as 70s baseball players stand out as being pretty funny to me also.
What, no love for Pearl in her ballerina outfit from HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND?
And really, it’s hard not to be charmed by Doctor Forrester and TV’s Frank as Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs…
I would mention something about Mike in his giant diaper from MERLIN’S SHOP OF MYSTICAL WONDERS but I’m scared it’ll tip off some people and wind up on fetish sites…
Joel: that strange black oufit with yellow stripes from Hellcats (or it was from Sidehackers?).
Dr. Forrester: as a skeleton in the final episode of season 1 (if I remember correctly).
Mike: Toblerone! (It’s hard to choose).
Kevin: Bobo, it’s a sign of their professionalism the fact that he had to endure all the make up session to make the host segments, where he also had to wear another costumes, like the demonic monkey in Merlin’s Shop. But also as the Kitten with a Whip, George Whitaker, Illya Morumetz, Holloclown.
Jim Mallon: the White Hunter in Jungle Goddess. I know he is the bad guy, but he looked swell in that attire.
Paul Chaplin: Pitch, of course. Huggy Bear.
Pearl: Jan in the Pan, Trailer Park Mom.
Bridget Jones: Lisa Loeb, Flavia.
“Show ’em your Tug McGraw, Frank.”
“Hi. I’m Tug McGraw..”
–
Classic…..
ALSO….it’s funny that we did the “best costume wore by a bot” discussion twice, almost exactly a year apart….and both times i answered the exact same thing…..
–
Sampo, can we get a master list of all the weekend discussions had thus far? Might alleviate the apparition of doubles…
SALUTATIONS, IMPERFECT ONE! Joel as The Master. The voice really drives it home for me.
I am going to have to agree with “Zee” (#14) and “Watch out for Snakes” (#36) because the Mads being 70s relief pitchers is worth at least a full ratings point!
Agree with #35.
I always get a laugh from Kevin as the Kitten with a Whip. Especially during the Turkey Day version of Night of the Blood Beast. Scoop my clumps!
That episode was full of good cosplay!
I forgot Bill: Phantom of Krankor, Girl in Gold Boots.
TV’s Frank and Dr. F as the recording studio guys from Pod People. Good? He’s the BEST
Joel as Warrior of the Lost World who doesn’t have his driver permit yet
Plenty more I’m sure but those come to mind off the bat.
I presume we are talking about costumes worn while they were regular cast members (removing most of the costumes worn by Mike as special guest star). Which means we can’t count his appearance as Apocalyptic Hugh Beaumont, which I still see as his finest moment.
So, we must pick out Mike’s turn as the most repulsive thing in the Universe: Adam Duritz of Counting Crows!
As for the Mads, we’ll go with when they impersonated the ‘bots — and Frank runs out of air.
The Mads on their Hobby Hogs!
I also loved the Mad’s costumes when they “went back in time.” Even kept his brand on his leotard.
DR F: Are you changed yet? Um, looks like we’re in some kind of time warp! Yelling back through time and space, back to you, Nelson!!!
Which, of course, brings up Mike as Fabio!
Kevin as Leonardo, telling us what we already knew during “Delta Knights.”
Which episode was it when Brain Guy dressed “cool”? Long before Geek Chic, of course.
As for Pearl, while I thought the PBS sketches in “Overdrawn at the Memory Bank” went way too long, got to give credit to Pearl and Brain Guy’s classy torch song appearance.
And then Joel. Um, Joel. Can’t really think of a costume except his turn as The Master. Salutations, imperfect one!
But we do have Joel when the Isaac Asimov bomb blew up and turned everyone on the satellite into Asimov lookalikes.
Oops, forgot about evil Mike’s look. That was cool…
Wait a minute. Did anyone mention Mike Nelson
as Lord of the Dance!
Mike as a baby in Merlins Shop Of Mystical Wonders.
“Oh, someone made a present.”
The costume I mentioned that was wore by Joel was actually from Teenagers from Outer Space, from the Jumpsuits with duct tape segment.
And I also forgot Frank, I like specially Doughy Man, from Teenage Crimewave, is such a silly costume.
As the person who suggested the “favorite costume worn by a ‘bot” topic I noticed and was flattered it ran twice. I thought maybe you just liked it that much. :-)
As for favorite costume on the show worn by cast members, aside from the usual costumes they wore in every episode, I’d have to say the “tank tops” worn by Frank and Forrester were among my favorites. Also, Mike Nelson as Glen Manning was pretty amusing.
Evil Mike from “Last of the wild horses” was a great costume.His Morrissey get-up was good too.Did he mentioned that he cried?
Kevin as the music-reviewing plant.
To be honest Brain Guy in the gold boots and dress made me cringe.
Brain Guy as Krankor in “Prince of Space”
