MST character (from movies or among hosts) you think you could be best friends with.
I’m going to go with Henry Krasker in “The Dead Talk Back.” Seems like he’d be a good conversationalist.
Who would you pick, and why?
Keep sending suggestions!

) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
Gumby and Pokey, since I’d get to join them on all sorts of clay-based adventures, and ride around on his dad’s fire truck. When we were hungry, his mom would fix us a snack – crackers and milk, yay! And at the end of the day, I could just put them back in the Play-doh can.
for me it’s the wily Ro-Man. many a time have i been likewise spurned by the fairer sex and longed to be like the hu-man. and who knows, we might get bored and wipe out the rest of humanity just for kicks,
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians –
I could be friends with Kimar and Momar, the dad and mom. They were level headed and loved their children. Also, I could find out what those gas pipes on their heads were for.
of course there’s also the wolf raiders from ‘Fugitive Alien.’ hanging out with them would be cool ’cause i could finally go out in public dressed like a member of KISS without getting pummeled.
I’m not a drinking man, but if I was I would go with Rowsdower, eh. Not Mitchell, I think he would be a mean drunk.
I think I’d find Paul the wahrwilf absolutely fascinating.
I’d like to hang with Critter and his fair maiden and watch her do the wounded toddler dance while she played a harmonica from…..somewhere, and he made those noises with the guitar.
Well, I’d wait till he got back from Vietnam.
As a Planet of the Apes fan, I would like to hang out with Professor Bobo (after breaking him out of the zoo). Also if I ever have any legal problems, he has act as my lawyer (and find a little Amish boy to give me an alibi).
Prince of Space & Space Chief, provided we could manage to lose the herds of shrill annoying children. We might even take Space Chief up into space for once. We could go cruisin’ the galaxy, maybe go drop some ‘caustic vapors’ of our own on Krankor & Neptune.
Beverly Garland. I mean, she seems to have a nice personality, maybe a touch abrasive when
searching for diamonds in southern bayous…
Btw, offtopic, kudos to Merritt Stone for having last week been nominated
for the U. S. Supreme Court. Quite a career: train conductor, actor, appellate judge in
Washington, D. C….
I hang out with the walking dude at the end of 905-The Deadly Bees. He’s got great theme music, he’s a snappy dresser, and we’d both end up very healthy walking Seagull Island, tipping our hats to all we meet.
I’d be best friends with Dr. [snicker] Neil Connery. Oh yeah, we’d hang out and read each other’s lips from across the yard; he’d do plastic surgery on me just for fun; we’d foil the apparently somehow-might-be-evil plans of greasy Eurovillains that substitute women for appliances; and finish up with archery invasions of mountain bases for bragging rights. But then it would all fall apart when he would hypnotize me with total recall (despite my unusual willpower), causing me to lose direct contact with time, and he’d learn that I had just been best friending him to get close to his older, cooler brother. I only hope he doesn’t realize I’ve been interrupting his lectures for weeks now, too.
Heeeee-e-e-ee hooooooollds meeeee-e-e-ee! Heeeee-e-e-ee looooooovves meeeee-e-e-ee!
Tough one. There are so many repulsive characters in MST3K films that it can be difficult to find the decent ones. Guess I’ll go with Vadinho from The Puma Man.
A night with Jerry and Sylvia, perhaps playing charades. I bet they are good.
Another hang out buddy might be the kid that Mr. B-Natural teaches about music. Once he’s got the music down, chicks gonna be on him like flies on honey and I’ll be right there in the middle of the action. A guy can dream!
Alison Hayes from The Undead, if we are friends with benefits.
I’d like to spend time with those wacky scientists of “Happy Lab” (Revenge of the Creature). They get to do cool art projects with monkeys. Plus it might be cool to get to know Clint Eastwood before he was got famous and started talking to empty chairs.
I’m kind of an introvert, and don’t talk a lot, so it might be nice to be friends with John Agar’s droning, know-it-all archaeologist – he could do all the talking.
I would love to hang out with the Daddy-O crowd. They seem like a fun bunch, and there would be plenty of pizza (and if I were a good drag racer I’d never have to spend a dime). In particular, I’d like to get to know the saxophonist (and announcer for the band); he seems like a pretty cool guy, actually!
Ted Nelson seems like a likable guy. As long as there are crackers to eat, that is.
The Chicken of Tomorrow –
That’s right. The Chicken. Talk about your friends with benefits. First you get eggs. I like eggs. Then it’s winner, winner chicken dinner! Also, you can wear your grungy pants and ride around in a flatbed truck.
Oh, Flo (Peggy Moffitt), from Girls’ Town. No question. Immediamente.
I would build up her self-confidence, tell her how pretty she really was, encourage her to get into the gym, and take really good care of her skin. I would do everything I could to be the best friend she ever had. I would make sure I got her pointed towards New York, and kept in very, very close touch.
[If this isn’t ringing any bells, wiki Peggy Moffitt. Her appearance in Girls Town is unreasonably hard to find images for. This is about the best:

Same person. Yes. Peggy Moffitt, my NewBestFriend.]
Danny was such a suck-up to Big Stupid.
He’d be fun to have around, tell you when to eat, and pay for everything.
Yeah, it would be fun until he threw you out of a window.
Johnny Longbow from Track of the Moon Beast. A friend with benefit……..I like stew!
I guess Wamthool from Quest of the Delta Knights. Mainly because Richard Kind is awesome and he knows alchemy.
I would like to be friends with Troxartis. He may be a villainous wizard king, but he has a positive attitude about life that I think would be a good influence on me. If we get to be on good terms I can finally ask him to wear some pants.
“He’s NOT MERRITT STONE!!!”
:)
Getting older and bad with names, it’d probably be Cabot from Outlaw from Gor. Get to go back and forth thru time, and somehow I think thru repetition his name wouldn’t escape me…
I’d be friends with Torgo, Nick (from Time Chasers), and Gyaos because reasons.
I think I’d have a great time hanging out and getting mellow at airports with made-for-TV hippy William Sturdevant. Strum a little 12-string, sing a little Dylan… Be out-a-sight as long as nobody flips out on us.
Jimmy from I Accuse My Parents, Mikey from Teenage Strangler, Marv from High School Big Shot, and the Son from Teenage Caveman could ALL use a good use a good Guys Night Out. Between all the girl/family/society issues, I have a feeling a LOT of steam could be blown off.
Probably Bwavarro (John Banner) from ‘Crash Of The Moons’, until his aggressive niceness makes me stop answering his calls.
Aw, who doesn’t wanna share a hamburger with a good-natured positive-thinking diner cook?
I stop at the church thing, though, he doesn’t look Lutheran.
I think being besties with Silver from “Girls Town” would be kind of a blast. Imagine all of the great slang phrases she could teach you!
I would also like to have Thanksgiving with the family that Terry and her boyfriend take hostage in “Teenage Crimewave”, they seem like nice people, probably wouldn’t argue about politics at the table.
channeling my inner crow/servo, i’d hafta say… megaweapon!
For a romantic hang out- I’d hang out at the S & M field museum with Ms. Jane Dobson- and, bring our primitive side out. The Dinosaurs may have died off cause they forgot how to love, but not me and Ms. Dobson.
For the bro side, I’d choose Nick from Time Chasers. We could hop from era to era, leaving random duplicates behind, both dead and alive.
Girl friend wants to hang out with Old Man Crenshaw- she’s a real man’s kinda woman, ready to chew and spit- while tending to his fires. She also likes Dr. Batch and would like to hear more of his cheese cloth flashbacks and actually getting a 4.0 in undergrad Anthropology at the University of Arkansas, although she is much cuter than Lucy Braless.
Oh, it’s gotta be Estelle Winwood in “The Magic Sword”. She’s hilarious, she can do magic (when her memory is working) and she has the coolest stuff in her basement! Also Crow is in love with her so he’d probably be hanging out a lot around the house.
I have the depressing feeling if I hung out with anyone from the MST3K movies, I’d wind up with Ortega and Torgo.
Shep from The Painted Hills. The only really decent character from a MSTed movie. :dog2:
Or, maybe Trumpy. He can do magic things! Stupid, magic things.
I agree with Sampo: Henry Krasker all the way! He’s my very favorite MST3K movie character.
HOW DO YA LIKE MY SWINGIN’ CHURCH, KID?
I would choose Troy from FInal Sacrifice. At least I know I would be the cooler kid in the room at all times!!!!!!
My mom said so!!!!
Rose Hood from “The Gunslinger” — kind, smart, funny, and brave.
And while we’re not on the subject, and since I can’t comment on the appropriate episode guides: I watched “The Beast of Yucca Flats” today for the first time, and I’m 99.9% sure that Coleman Francis narrated “A Day at the Fair.” Who’s with me?
I think I’d have to choose the friendly diner cook from “I Accuse My Parents”. He’s cheerful, understanding, and generous. He’s even willing to overlook the occasional attempted robbery. What more could anyone ask?
Plus, I’m sure his hamburgers and french fried potatoes are WAY better than the fast food garbage most places shovel out these days.
I kind of think Chase from Giant Gila Monster would be cool to hang with. Free towing to anywhere!
On the other hand, you’d have to put up with his singing.
I’m going to go with the Sheriff from The Blood Waters of Dr. Z.
At least I would feel safe in knowing that if we ever got into a fight..
He wouldn’t shoot me.
No one has mentioned Frank yet?!?!? Who wouldn’t want to spend an evening with TV’s Frank and a bunch of Chinese takeout, watching old Dick Cavett, Joe Franklin, and Mike Douglas shows?
