Weekend Discussion Thread: MSTed Movie Characters and their Moms

It’s Mother’s Day weekend and alert reader Ken suggests:

I think it might be fun to speculate on what some MSTed characters might do to honor Mom on her special day. For instance, Johnny Longbone would serve his breakfast in bed: an omelet made with ham, tomatoes, green peppers… onions… meanwhile, Mitchell would probably drive his mom to the middle of nowhere, kick her out of the car and tell her to watch out for traffic.

I suspect Gorgo would invite his mom for a walk through London. Thousands would die.

What’s your guess?

    Trumpy would take his mum on tours of scenic, backwoods regions
    where she could vastly improve the rock music scene by gradually
    eating one music employeee after other, while critiquing the
    taste of the victims with “IT STINKS!”

    In contrast Lee Van Cleef’s mother would get bored as week after week
    they road in some loser’s van loking for the perfect soulmate to
    fix her up with.

    I think Eegha! will take his mother (at least I think one of those dried out mummies in his cave is his mother) out to show her his new girl friend, Roxy….Oh and to watch him beat up on Arch Hall Jr. :-)

    Jimmy and his mom would go out for a quiet bender at the local club/swingin’ church. Of course on the way, mom would bake cookies for all the homeless in the world, save a bus full of nuns from going over the cliff, bring about peace in the middle east and give that mean old Hitler boy a good spanking for that whole world war thing.

    Torgo would be extra nice to his mother at the petting zoo and would spend a whole dollar buying her food from a vending machine. Or is it that his father is a goat and his mother is a human? I never can tell with satyrs.

    Puma Man would fly with his legs tilted to his mom’s house to give her flowers.
    Diabolik would steal even more money to give to his mom.
    The singer from Pod People would get bed in breakfast for his mom, and then after she eats it she’ll put up the A-OK sign and say “It stinks!”
    And then the cop from Laserblast would drive to his mom’s house, ring the door bell, wait for her, then give her a hug and ask her if she’s READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!

    Ivanushka (Mr. June-Allison-Hair) probably hasn’t seen his mom in a while. He just kinda left one day after doing 1-single chore, and told her not to worry a billion times.
    Now that his character has grown up a bit (becoming a half-man-half-bear, and chasing a pig sleigh, will do that to a fellow), he comes home for 5-minutes, and says, “Guess what Ma! I met a mushroom-man, I was turned into a bear, I had adventures with a chicken-house and a pig-sleigh, and Jack Frost is real!”
    “Oh Ivan, I’m so glad you’re safe. Did you say you met a mushroom-man? Because that would explain the rest of that sentence entirely.”

    Great topic! Chunk McLargeHuge from Space Mutiny would buy his mom a new silver lamé robe, take her for a zamboni/floor sweeper ride, have a “scream like a little girl” contest (letting Mom win, of course), then top off their fun day together by playing laser tag.

    Tom Servo bumps his dome and travels back in time Mark Twain style (but not nearly as far) and discovers Joel napping midway through the creation of Crow.

    Servo examines the situation and cannot help but tinker with all the neat looking parts; he builds a surprise for Joel to find when he awakes.

    Servo is suddenly pulled back to his current time due to a paradox rubber band effect.

    Joel wakes up, but believes he himself has constructed “Beeper” in a state of somnambulism – never knowing that Tom Servo IS his own Mother!

    Happy Mother’s Day, Tom! You immaculately conceived son-of-a-gun, you!

    Thanks for using my topic! Got one more: I think The Little Creature might formally introduce his mom to Crenshaw. They’d have a date, sparks would fly (but not from Crenshaw’s fires this time), and come spring there’d be a whole new mess of Little Creatures for the Boggy Creek Studies department to harass. Except these ones would wear overalls and be – incredibly – even hairier.

    Megaweapon would take his mom, an adorable mini crawler-dozer, out for a nice dig in a field, then take her out to get her first set of spikes. They’ll run into Robert Ginty at Spike Shoppe, but neither will remember his name.

    Peter Graves learned almost too late that mom is a feeling creature… and because of it, the greatest in the universe. He learned too late for his mom that men have to find their own way, to make their own mistakes. There can’t be any gift of perfection from outside ourselves. And when mom seeks such perfection… she finds only death… fire… loss… disillusionment… the end of everything that’s gone forward. Mom has always sought an end to the toil and misery, but it can’t be given, it has to be achieved. There is hope, but it has to come from inside, from Mom herself.

    Then he took her to America and got her cloned.

    Torgo is going to deliver his famous Torgo’s Pizza to his Mom (which will of course come with complimentary Crazy Bread). She will hopefully receive her pizza before next Mother’s Day. The bread will still be warm, however.

    Daddy-O (Phil Sandifer, Pete Plum) of course, ran away from home when he was 15, so he obviously wouldn’t do anything for his mom on Mother’s Day. On the other hand, maybe he would go visit Sonny’s mom and sing her a lovely song, accompanied by the Pacific Gardens Combo.

    Blast Hardcheese, from Space Mutiny, wouldn’t really have to do much for his Mom – he married her!

    The scientists from Danger Deathray would show their moms how much they love them by constructing a mother disintegrator. For peaceful purposes only, of course.

    Well, obviously Jimmy would plan a big elaborate celebration for his mother, only to have her breeze in, tell him it’s really very sweet but she’s going to John Taylor’s yacht, give him two dollars so he can have some fun, and leave him sitting all by himself in the house with streamers and balloons and a cake…

    Girmar and Bomar would give their mother a Mother’s Day headbutt while serving her breakfast pills in bed…

    Lupita would ask Santa to bring her mother a pretty dolly…

    And Torgo would probably untie his mother’s arms so she can get the circulation going again before tying her up again and locking her back in the cellar.

    Paula from The Violent Years would take an honest part-time job to buy her mother some lovely gifts: flowers, a nice lunch, and a beautiful brooch. That morning, though, as Paula’s springing the surprise, Mom announces that she’s going to a Mother’s Day charity luncheon for motherless unwed mothers. What could be more important?

    Crushed, Paula has no choice but to slink off and kill a rookie cop who’s been working double shifts to support his widowed mother and blind teenage sister.

    I won’t pretend to be 100% knowledgeable of the group dynamics on this site, but if I were to guess, I’d say the answer is “Yes. From here on out. Yes. Hadn’t necessarily planned on that, but since you asked. Yes. Until Hell freezes over, Yes. Since we know it will get a rise out of you. Yes. Yes. Yes. And Yes.”

    If you don’t want them to get your goat, don’t show them where it’s hid. :yinyang:

    Ator seems like the kind of guy who visits Mom on Mother’s Day, just like she wanted, buddy Thong in tow. Time and time again, Thong unintentionally proves to be the better (foster) son, giving a rare trinket from far-off lands rather than (again) animal skins (good job, Ator), helping to take down the cave’s storm windows while Ator rummages around in those moving boxes he left in the spare room, and knowing just which herbs and spices complement the wild beast Mom’s spit-roasting for supper (Ator at this point is reduced to sulking in front of the TV).

    When Thong and Mom finally wrap up a long, lively conversation over tea, Ator has already loaded up the moving boxes (probably old high-school sports pads, still reeking with locker room glory) into the saddlebags and urges them both out the door.

    Mom smiles, sighs, shakes her head. Ator concedes to a hug on the doorstep and is stripped of ire when Mom whispers “I love you, Scooter…!” He sheds one tear, quickly concealed. Foil-wrapped bachelor plates and promises to visit more often are quickly exchanged, and our heroes take their leave. Thong, wise as usual, says nothing about the crying or the boyhood nickname.

    Meanwhile, in their poorly lit castle, Lisa asks her father about her mother and is met (for the thousandth time) with “No…, when you’re older. You are too young to hear about *blah blah blah*”
