) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
‘Trumpy’ because he can do magic crap and may or may not go on a murderous rampage.
The Creeping Terror –
I would adopt The Creeping Terror because walking him would be a low cardio stress workout at 1/2 mile an hour and when he dies, I mean “goes to visit Uncle Joe’s farm”, he will make a dandy area rug for the living room!
The shape-shifting Proteus from Hercules and the Captive Women. If I get bored with one creature, he can always change into another.
A hobgoblin.
Upside – It would make my wishes come true.
Downside – I would die.
I might have to rethink this.
Xerxes the cat from “The Atomic Brain”BEFORE he got his brain replaced with that evil old woman’s.
I’d take Joey the Lemur away from those lame King Dinosaur scientists, and give him a safe, non-giant-lizard-infested home. Plus, I would never, ever sing the “Joey, the Lemur” song to him (or anyone else…you’re welcome!).
I would save poor Peppy (that is the spelling according to Wikipedia but I think it is Pepe with the little accent, after all it is El Paso.) I don’t think Manos ever establishes exactly how the evil deed was done. Mike thinks it was wolves, but are we supposed to assume it was the Doberman in the painting?
Tibby, oh Tibby…
Krankor’s ugly giant in Prince of Space. He’d be better than a wall to keep bad guys out, and he looks a little like Trump.
Or how about Puma from Ring of Terror? That cat killed an elderly college student
Shep. She’d be a good companion plus an instrument of revenge.
Does Rowsdower count as a creature?
I would save Henry from the “Dutch Ninja”, Max Keller. The poor thing is in a van 24/7, no cage only a wheel and listening to Max blather on about everything. Besides he “has brown hair and Fonda eyes.”
I would adopt Hugo the dummy from Devil Doll and send him for counseling. Maybe he can wok out the whole ham thing.
I’m a cat person, so I’d adopt Robert the Cat from The Touch of Satan. He needs a new owner anyway after that farmer’s involuntary amateur tracheotomy. Any dog lovers out there to take Andrew?
Hmm… Well, I’d want a pet who is really neat, a friend to children, maybe even stuffed with meat. Now who should I get?
Oh, of course! Gorgo!
Nummy muffin coocol butter!
He’s a pal like no utter!
I know it’s not in a movie, but how could I resist that cute widdle face!
Both of the two innocent pets that were victims of Merlin’s magical, whimsical pyromancy. That scene with Sparkle the dog trapped in the burning garage is especially hard to watch.
Or maybe one of the giant ducks from Village of the Giants, just because it would be fun to have around… maybe I could train it to fly me on its back!
The one thing that always comes to mind whenever I watch The She-Creature is: “What kind of life does King lead?”
We all know that everyone in that movie knows what King’s bark sounds like, but what’s actually going on with King? Does King have an owner or a home? What does he think about where he lives? So many questions.
That’s why I believe that I’d have to adopt King the dog.
Thanks for picking my topic, even though it’s silly.
I’d have to say that for a serious answer, I’d like to have the briefly-shown horse in The Final Sacrifice. She looked dependable and steady, and would be just the right size for me. For a more fun answer, gimme the title character from The Creeping Terror any day. It could go around Hoovering up stupid people. I’d take it to Walmart first.
The little bunny at the end of The Beast of Yucca Flats. As I gain weight and begin to more and more resemble Tor/Dr. Javorski, I know he would still want to snuggle up with me on the couch as I snooze.
1) The bees in The Deadly Bees. Bees are dying off in the U. S. (and world?) so having a whole island of bees would be lucrative.
2) Use proceeds from Bee Island to both resurrect the robot in Robot Rumpus (I mean, Doctor Who carried around a Cyberman head and was
his buddy, why not the decapitated robot), and also to provide years of powerful Adlerian therapy for any bots who witnessed Gumby’s
parents cruel treatment of Gumby’s pal.
Btw, MSTie above comment, The Creeping Terror could also be a great Walmart Greeter.
Mothra. Although, her being something of a Goddess, it’s more like I wish she’d adopt me. I’m not much of a dancer, though…
I’ll adopt Peppy from Manos, mostly because it’s clear that the family that owns him is stupid.
What the heck, I’ll adopt Debbie too. No Child Protection Services employees would stand in my way after sitting through 15 minutes of Manos.
I love cats, so I’ll take in Kevin’s Kitten With a Whip. But the size of those hairballs! (Don’t make me think about cleaning the litter box!)
PS: I just rescued 4 1/2 week old kitten a few weeks ago from my aunt and uncle’s farm. He has a twisted-up front paw so he wouldn’t have been able to defend himself in a semi-feral barn cat colony. I was going to name him Torgo because of his limp but he was far too cuddly and loveable so his name is now Tibby. So far, no salmonella!
This seems as good a place as any to remember how cool Kevin Murphy’s dog Humphrey was (as seen in the Amazing Colossal Episode Guide and in the last host segment of Werewolf).
It’s not difficult at all to imagine that Kevin and Humphrey were great companions for each other.
I think I’d adopt Daisy the baboon. She’d be a real good drinking buddy.
I would grab Betty’s dog Sparky before that wiener-head Thor kills him. I would take him back to Betty, and use the opportunity to ask her out. Or throw down a few Nyquiladas with Gramps.
I could go for some pork fried rice myself.
Mocking typos is fun!
I’d get the cat away from the graveyard guy in ‘Ring Of Terror’. Then I can walk around saying “Piuma? Piuma? Piuma?”
I notice no one has suggested adopting a filthy, disgusting anteater.
a monster a go go, not there.
I’d love to adopt Chestnut Gray. He’s strong, dependable, likes Mountain Dew, and even does impressions!
I’d adopt one of those cute little Tyranosaurs from “Future War,” I’d be the envy of everybody at the dog park, plus he could carry the firewood with his little arms.
On a side note, I don’t know if I’d “adopt” the carrot monster from “It Conquered the World,” but I’d sure like to have one ‘cuz he’s half carrot and half crab, and I do love a good seafood salad.
I’d adopt the dragon from “The Sword and the Dragon”. The poor little guy was just scared.
Great idea, but it has one flaw. The Walmartians have those electric scooters at the front of the store so they could just zoom (1.3 mph) away from CT. That is until two of them converged in aisle 12 and started an extended conversation about the last episode of Dancing With the Stars or some such drivel thus blocking all the other shoppers creating a smorgasbord for our beloved tapestry, so I guess your idea is actually flawless after all! Congratulations!
A Chicken of Tomorrow – always plenty of fresh eggs and chicken sliced to the width of one electron, so I could carry some in my wallet for a quick snack.
I’d adopt the cat from “The Undead”. Because, we all know what that cat turns into……….
Wow! Huge slam on anteaters out of nowhere.
No question here – Tommy’s adorable Trumpy swatting kitty. I’ll even take Joe the food scarfing hamster from that hoarder Tommy.
The big guy. The greatest Kaiju of the all. The King of the Monsters. Godzilla. No one’s going to mess with you when you take a 30 story, atomic fire breathing lizard for walkies.
And for something less imposing, Pokey. An orange, shape-changing horse.
What do you mean? We’ve had half a dozen Trumpy posts so far…
Sparkle (?) the dog from Merlin’s Shop. I always hated that she got burned by the evil monkey toy.
As Jay said it would make a nice living room rug,especially if you had unwanted guests you would like to see eaten very slowly.
Did Robot Monster have a Magilla Gorilla “We’ve got a gorilla for sale…” ref, or am I just remembering one?
(Too lazy to go back and look.)
I think it did, but I’m too lazy to go back and look too.
Are you Tony Cardoza?
I would adopt the fish that Thong catches in “Cave Dwellers. No animal should ever have to be digested by Ator.
“The Fish”
It lives there, I live here.
It’s a no-hassle relationship.
The Boggy Creek Creature.
It can help keep the Crenshaw’s away.
Any one of the critters that evil Ross Allen trapped- I’d combine their forces and we’d turn on Ross, well, maybe not. We would just allow them to live in freedom.
