As an example, name the only host segment ever shot outdoors. (Answer: the “sylvan glen” moment from episode 816- PRINCE OF SPACE. Every single one of you knew that, didn’t you?)
The stumper I used to use, which I have more recently discovered most MSTies have no problem with, it turns out, was: What was the name of the cocker spaniel (sadly, he has since “gone to live at a big farm”) featured in episode 904- WEREWOLF, and who also appears in the ACEG?
You all know that one, don’t you? See? The hard ones aren’t that hard anymore.
Do you have one like that? And can you think of REAL hard ones?

What color socks was Mike wearing in episode 1012?
Sam the Keeper from Werewolf was also in the video for Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun.”
Which MST3K movie featured an actor who was also in Herzog’s great movie about obsession, Fitzcaraldo? Which MST3K movie features the actor who played the department store Santa Claus in A Christmas Story?
I think I just heard a million people go, “Well, duh!”
What MSTie controversy spawned the early Internet flame wars of the 1990s?
Answer: Joel versus Mike. Who was better.
Puma Man for the first, don’t know the answer to the second.
The movie for the second part was Wild Rebels
Not difficult: What was the only movie the Mads actually apologized for showing?
Actually difficult: Which studio made more MSTed movies than any other?
Shouldn’t be difficult: What Hollywood mega-star married, in real life, the guy who played greasy, oily, slimy, misogynist, mid-level illegal drug pusher Leo in “Girl In Gold Boots”?
I think this may be a little harder: I think we all remember the ill-fated Native American Tommy from “Werewolf”. What 1990’s “action” feature did he have a cameo in, as it happens portraying a down on his luck Native American?
Mike was wearing a shirt from a college at the beginning of MST3K:TM. What college?
Which movie did the show receive its first negative review and where did said review come from?
“Questions! Questions! I need ANSWERS!!” Ok, I’ll play.
How did one fan show his disappointment when Kevin Murphy took on the role of Tom Servo?
Twas Judy Garland.

Which actors in two MST3K movies were briefly regulars on Sesame Street? (Old-Skool pre-Elmo 70’s-80’s, of course.)
What was the MST3K episode from the auteur director of RT’s “Santa & the Ice Cream Bunny”?
Castleton, of course! Quite an impressive call-forward. (I kid)
Good guess, but incorrect. :-D
Wild Rebels and “Fats”. Now the real question is who would you rather run into in a dark alley, the thugs from Wild Rebels or Santa and his overworked elves from A Christmas Story?
Which movie did Mike watch as part of his “training” upon arriving on the SOL, then end up watching again as part of an actual experiment?
It was a University of Wisconsin shirt that Mike wore at the beginning of MST3K:TM. And the show’s first negative review came after Ep 112, “Untamed Youth.” Gore Zone was the magazine, and among other things, they complained that Joel & TB talked over Eddie Cochran’s only song in the movie.
When I won the big Sci-Fi Mindprobe trivia contest waaaaay back, I missed only one question: Where was Castle Forrester located?
To be fair, I had just started college in an area that didn’t carry Comedy Central, so I wasn’t caught up on the new show mythology yet.
I did, however, get the question that knocked most everyone else out: What was Joel doing when the Satellite of Love launched?
(Questions are paraphrased as they were asked almost twenty years ago… apologies for inconsistencies. I’m sure someone has fastidiously written them down somewhere in the internet. :-D )
A UW-Stout shirt, to be exact. It’s in the University system but the big one is UW-Madison. UW-Stout is located in Menomonie, not far from the Minnesota border.
How did Batwoman put on her bat?
(Hardly anyone is providing answers with their questions, so I guess I will hold off too).
What times were it?
Kidding. I just wanted to say that.
But here’s a nugget, who was the “best actor in the film” in Track of the Moon Beast?
What color was old man Crenshaws head rubber band?
How much did David Warner pay for off brand Johnathan Taylor Thomas in Quest of the Delta Knights?
Seth Thomas (manufactures name on a clock face), riff by Servo. Broccoli stated by Mike. And “one copper”.
Which two actors have separately appeared in two different MST3K movies each, and have also worked for Stanley Kubrick?
sampo
the answer is for the question you ask Humphrey. there were also a few riffs Kevin (as tom) said Humphrey.
#25 I believe I’m seeing Joe Turkel from Tormented and Gary Lockwood from The Magic Sword as the answers.
“But here’s a nugget, who was the “best actor in the film” in Track of the Moon Beast?”
Had to have been the moon rock (oh wow!).
Or Paul’s ass with its award winning smile.
Which episodes after ‘First Spaceship on Venus’ feature Joel wearing a jumpsuit that was NOT maroon?
Also, which episodes featured the ‘A Best Brains Production’ line during the stinger at the top?
Not difficult: Which was the first episode to feature a “stinger”?
Actually difficult: What was Joel’s very first invention shown in the series? (This is a tricky one.)
We all know the first MST3K episode was “The Crawling Eye”, but in the first Comedy Channel promo that featured the Mads, the announcer said “the experiment begins with”…what movie?
And here’s a tough one..who is the most famous person to have a role in an MST movie? Base it on how many awards this person has won.
“Beast of Yucca Flats”
“Rocket Attack USA” — The stinger was, “Help me”
I’m gonna say Clint Eastwood. Followed by Gene Hackman & Gregory Peck.
Oh, and if memory serves it was ROBOT VS. THE AZTEC MUMMY.
Hmm, I’m guessing it was Gregory Peck, who has one Best Actor Oscar but also a ton of other awards, including a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, an AFI Life Achievement Award, a National Medal of Arts, and even a US postage stamp.
I think the next runner-up would be Gene “He’s good in anything” Hackman, who has two Oscars.
@ #15: Obviously one of them was Raul Julia in Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. Not sure about the other. In exchange, I’ll add a little bit of Sesame Street B-movie trivia. Roscoe Orman (AKA Gordon on Sesame Street) portrayed the titular pimp in a blackploitation film called Willie Dynamite.
@ #31: Air bag helmet if you’re counting Robot Vs. Aztec Mummy as the first. Electric bagpipe if you’re counting Crawling Eye as the first.
Might be too easy – What was the last new episode shown?
first of all, I would like to say how proud I am of all of you. I think you are all my real family. Thanks guys.
How many parts does it take to build an interociter?
Well, I was thinking Gene Hackman, but I forgot Eastwood because he was in “Return of the Creature.” Those two, and Peck, are right.
Now here is a tough one: what actress has appeared in two movies, one without sight, the other without a voice?
Does “role” just mean actors, or can it include crew members too? Because I’m pretty sure John Williams, who wrote the score to Daddy-O (and Jaws, Star Wars, E.T., etc.), has won more awards than anyone else who had anything to do with a MSTed movie.
I believe that would be Delores Faith. She was the blind gal in “Human Duplicators” and the mute girl in “Phantom Planet”.
How many episodes featured trains (yes, including toy trains like the crashing one in
the “sing-whenever-I-Sing” Gila Monster movie). There are more than you might think—starting
with the Night Train to Mundo Fine and Big Stupid’s passenger freight car.
Which episode did Tom sneeze?
{Tom sneezes]
Joel: Bless you!
Crow: Gesundheit.
Joel: You’re not supposed to do that…
“Hmm, I’m guessing it was Gregory Peck, who has one Best Actor Oscar but also a ton of other awards, including a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, an AFI Life Achievement Award, a National Medal of Arts, and even a US postage stamp.

========================================================================
Must be Gregory Peck because “Someone’s got to get the job done.” (from what movie?) :-P
ANSWER….
ANSWER for the above….
Robot Monster during the Radar Men short. There’s quite a few times where Joel was obviously sick during the KTMA years.
A train is a major plot point in “The Beatniks”. Then there’s the heartwarming “Why don’t they look?” short.
The answers to my question from yesterday are:
‘Untamed Youth’, episode 112, and the review came from the September 1990 issue of Gorezone magazine. They called MST3K “the most insulting blow to (the Comedy Channel’s) viewership. Here we are, 26 years later and MST is still going strong and Gorezone has faded into obscurity.
I’m guessing you don’t mean Joe Louis hitting Johnny up for money at the Canadian Expo?
Probably too old to remember Bill “Uncle Wally” McCutcheon, the laziest man on Sesame Street: https://youtu.be/r_uUPljwSWw?t=1m25s
