Weekend Discussion Thread: Olympic Events Based on MSTed MoviesYep, it’s time again for the Olympics, and, hey! I’ve got a crazy idea!
What new olympic events can you dream up, based on MSTed movies? The first one that comes to mind is the Ator-athlon, where you have to make (from twigs and whatever you can find) a hang glider, and then fly it to the nearest castle. What’s your event? 116 Replies to “Weekend Discussion Thread: Olympic Events Based on MSTed Movies”Commenting at Satellite News

) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
Rock climbing!
Parts: The Clonus Horror
Slow jogging, slow bicycling, slow witted conversation, and the gold medal is a Trip To America!!
(and the crowd goes wild. yay)
a kind of cruel but funny event would be high hurdle relay with all of the runners dressed like Torgo, big knees and all.
Forklifting!
The Giant Gila Monster endurance race where you drive over bumpy ground in a car loaded with nitro, until only one is left. First place gets gold medal. Everyone else gets a big memorial service.
The Horror of Party Beach DANCE COMPETITION! Hot sand, and the Del Aires! “Ow, Ow, Dancing Hurts!”
And what about Sidehacking? — Or is that already an event?
And there’s also the REVENGE OF THE CREATURE Globe-on-a-Stick Competition. Losers are of course eaten by the Gill Man.
And what about the Observer-inspired Brain-Tossing Competition? (Okay, I’ll stop, but this is pretty addictive!)
Rail Hurdling,with your host Beef McLargehuge…
I cannot improve on this comment.
Hard Liquor Slam Contest
Finalists are
Team: I Accuse my Parents
VS
The Killer Shrews
The Torgo inspired 50 meter shuffle, with and without luggage.
The Fifteen Minute Scene Drag.
Its a neck and neck race between the cop’s date from ‘The Indestructible Man’ and the “Chinese” seance from ‘Wild World Of Batwoman’.
How about Judo with Gamera vs. Godzilla, Or theTampering in God’s Domain Event with Bill Cortner. Dr. Frank and Bela Lugosi as the top contenders
The ultimate endurance marathon: The SANDSTORM event. Medical personnel standing by in case of DEEEEP HURRRRTING!
(yes, I just watched Hercules Against The Moon Men, why do you ask?)
Inspired by The Screaming Skull… Competitive Skull Toss!
The Skydivers spot landing completion. Only make sure you don’t have acid on you parachute or you’ll be the spot!
es, I just watched Hercules Against The Moon Men, why do you ask?

#1: The wingtip shoes of course make the event.
From Outlaw (or Gor)… The Midget Drop.
How about the Colman Francis sharp shooting contest. Only thing is you must be shooting from an airplane.
How about a Coleman francis twist on the classic rock, paper scissors. “Water, Sick man, Fever”. The goal is to break out of captivity in a second or third world country. Then team is not only judges on breaking out of the cell but also out of the compound as a whole. Extra points for necksnaps, being in Cuba and actually getting water for a teammate
Inspired by Ivan from “Jack Frost”: Giant Cudgel Tossing. Contests include how many one can hurl at once and how long they stay in the air…………..The latter can take MONTHS!
The running of the shrill, annoying children from Invasion of the Neptune Men. Stay ahead of them, or you may contract Roji-Panty syndrome! (Note that some contestants may intentionally lose)
IIRC wrestling is no longer an Olympic event. So let’s try to bring in kaiju wrestling.
The 5K Bleak, Rural Bicycle Race for Nerds. It’s Troy McGreagor versus Nick from Time Chasers versus Bud from Space Children. And Nick wins it by a chin!
Can Jonathan Cooper from Merlin’s Shop Of Mystical Wonders light the Olympic Torch with his mystical, magical fire breath?
One armed Rowsdower curling. The winner gets all the beer they want off the sun.
Laserblasting. This is a challenging Olympic event. Contestants drive in a pickup shooting at signs as
they are driven at speeds approaching 50 miles per hour! Bonus points are awarded for waving the arm
attached blaster after every successful shot. Final event involves a high noon shootout with goofy aliens.
Those not finishing in top 3 places must take a dip in refreshing Brazilian water without using any insect repellant.
Introduce a Devil Doll event!
In the event.. The Devil Doll’s Go for the Gold in the Ham Eating Competition!
The Gamera half decathlon, complete with:
Turtle shell shotput
Knife-headed monster throwing
Turtle on the uneven bars
Competitive Cornjobbing
And, um, swimming or something
From Prince Of Space:
The 200 Meter Prance
Contestants dressed in tights, capes, and goofy masks skip and prance across a 200 meter course, avoiding obstacles & taunting their opposition (“Haven’t I told you your weapons are useless against me?”).
Boot Blacking (Exhibition Event)
Odds are you’ll like it very much.
Then there’s coed skinny dipping competitive swimming in a cool New England lake
(talk about shrinkage). To qualify must be physicists and be capable of
putting together an interociter within 30 minutes. Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal winners
receive an all expense paid trip to Metaluna (must arrange own transport back for obvious reasons).

Combat Rod Challenge. Push him on the gravity plate! :-D
The Dune Buggy Wheeeeee!! Caveman Hunt.
Sure, just watch out for snakes.
Pickle races make the transition from county fairs to the big time!
I want to invent Olympic Shtemlo, but all I got is that it somehow incorporates the ladder from the pool…
Starfighters offers a couple suggestions, too: 50 meter poopie suit, corn de-tasseling…
The Red Zone Cuba Relay: Run all the way to hell.
The 5K Sodium relay – this one is tricky because competitors may become distracted in the middle of the course, wander aimlessly, then remember why they’re there, so this may take a while.
full-contact nightgown wrestling!
The Final Justice Biathlon: A combination shoot-out/boat race. But don’t worry if you miss it the first time. They will re-do the whole thing about 30 minutes later.
Apple Slapping? Your teammate holds an apple, and says “want some?”, and you slap the apple. Longest distance wins the gold. Or a pizza…. or a free pass to the Hi-Note.
Other Final Justice events:
1.) The “Go Ahead On!” event. Contestants must not draw until referee says (Oh, you know).
2) Six pack lifting event. This is extremely challenging. Contenders
must lift a six pack (Schlitz preferred) and open and drink all using only feet and toes.
3) Shooting empty cans off a wall. Contestants must trounce 5-10 year olds in accuracy.
4) Hooker “entertaining.” This is a time limited event. Granted, it’s not Final Justice.
5) Goosio tossing. Self explanatory.
It’s the Double 007 Archery Competition, where the competitors shoot at live targets armed with spear guns. In the finals, the archers shoot at each other. Bonus points for the best Jolson.
Followed by the Pumaman flight competition. Competitors must fly one mile, with the judges adding points based on costume dorkiness, awkward technique and violations of the laws of physics.
From Space Mutiny, the over-the-safety-railing throw. And racing those floor buffer/golf cart things.
1. The Renee-Don’t-Walk-Away crossbow event: round up cartel gangsters and impale them against walls with home-made arrows. Points for placement, depth of impact into the wall, and length of time till death as counted off by the audience.
2. The Runaway MMA event: points awarded for not blocking or moving while opponent winds into increasingly complex striking moves. Guest judge: Fred Burroughs!
3. The Hellcats endurance event: contestants must cube it with Hiney, drink a six-pack of cheap beer, and then survive being pulled in opposite directions by two three-wheeler hogs, for the count of fifteen (not 15 seconds, but the count of fifteen). Minimal use of protective clothing and gear.
4. Getting-Killed-By-A-Teenage-Werewolf-While-Practicing-My-Gymnastics-Routine. ‘Nuff said.
The Pumaman “leaping from a window” or magic belt throwing :cat:
I think they need a MST narrator for all the events:
“There was no triathlon winner. The competitors were found, alive and well, 400 meters away.”
“Flag on the football play…how’d it get there?”
“Daughter has changed from school clothes to something more festive. Equestrian dressage will make her feel and consequently look more charming. Even the horse takes on a special air.”
“Johnny stops to watch some rhythmic gymnastics. Gee whiz, I bet they don’t have anything like this in artistic gymnastics, and on bicycles, too!”
