Weekend Discussion Thread: Which Characters Would You Invite for Thanksgiving?Well, Turkey Day, the MSTie High Holy Day, is almost upon us, and alert regular “Fart Bargo” wants to know: Which character or characters from a MSTed movie would you want to invite to your house for Thanksgiving, and why? Me, I think I’d invite Genius from “VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS.” He could give our turkey some of his formula and we could serve the whole neighborhood! Who would you invite? 143 Replies to “Weekend Discussion Thread: Which Characters Would You Invite for Thanksgiving?”Commenting at Satellite News

) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
Rowsdower. Sure, he might stuff leftovers in his jean jacket pocket before leaving, but at least he’d be fun to watch the football games with.
Jan in the Pan from ‘The Brain that Wouldn’t Die.’ Every Thanksgiving dinner needs a good gravy.
I’d invite Allison Hayes in any one of her film incarnations. Va va va VOOM!
All the goofy party guests from Skydivers. I can just see the dancing blonde giantess tearing the turkey apart with her bare hands while the inexplicable Scottish guy looks on with approval. Yes, there WILL be mashed potatoes (and coffee)!
Jack Perkins and Pitch !!!!
I would invite the space children from the season 9 episode of the same name. If any adults started to get out of line, the kids would put them in a timeout. Also, any family ankle-biters present would have a bunch of other kids to play with, so us adults wouldn’t have to pay as much attention to them.
Everyone have a great Thanksgiving!
For me, the one, the only, CROW T. ROBOT. :D
I would invite Krankor just for his laugh. The leads from Riding With Death. They know about turkey, although its all jive. And the last guest would be the Beef McHuge from Space Mutiny.
Me? I’d invite Batwoman and her Batgirls along with Tiger and Dr Neon. Heathcliff would be tied up in the yard however.
I’d invite Johnny from Time of the Apes and Paula from The Violent Years, just for the pleasure of their conversation:
“Johnny, would you like mashed potatoes or stuffing?” “I don’t care.”
“Paula, there’s pumpkin creme brulee for dessert.” “So what?!”
Definitely NOT Mitchell – he’d eat everything in sight including the big buttery moon!
Well if I could not get Mike and the Bots I would have to go with that kid from Phantom Planet and he could give the invocation at dinner- I would of course insist on his flowery speech about the “wisest and the best”. The maybe Cal from This Island Earth to talk down to the guy the rest of the day.
@11 LOL! What Mitchel would do at the kid’s table makes me shudder. Wearing his plaid jacket, he’d disappear into the couch.
Prince of Space.
I could get my shoes cleaned and no matter the food, I think he would like it very much.
@ 11, I WOULD invite Mitchell over and make it mandatory that he’d sit at the kid’s table. To see him try to match wits with the kiddies would be hilarious.
Turkey Volume Guessing Man!
That’s an easy one: Terry from Teen-Age Crime Wave. We’ve already seen how much ‘seasoning’ she can add to a Thanksgiving gathering. I call dibs on milking the cows!
Johnny Longbone. If we run out of turkey he’ll make some stew.
Ivan from ‘Jack Frost’. I could have him shoot a turkey for us. There would be plenty for me because all he’d want is a single feather.
As long as Ortega’s catering, everybody can come.
But I get to sit next to Babs.
#1 choice for me…
The entire family from “A Date With Your Family.”
They would make Thanksgiving dinner a genuinely memorable and educational experience.
From centerpiece selection to cleaning up jumior they have it all.
I’d invite the whole gang from “City Limits”, and ask that they NOT bring the Pussy-Nibbles. And of course, Joel would have to bring Mr. Stuffing-instead-of Potatoes-Head”
The women from Angel’s Revenge. That’ll give me 7 chances to strike out :)
I know I *wouldn’t* invite the potato–Nature’s Bouncing Betty, Silent Enemy of the Colon, Eight-Eyed Hydra, Destroyer of Worlds.
Sheila in her underwear!
Although I’d request she put on something less…. “frilly”.
Who WOULDN’T I invite?! Coily, Trumpy, Torgo, Merlin, The SOOOOULtaker, Pumaman, The Phantom of Krankor (so he can conquer our puny turkey), Troy & Rowsdower (because you can’t have one without the other), Mitchell (somebody has to bring the beer!), Mikey from Teen-Age Strangler (just to watch him and Troy fight over a turkey leg), Sam Casey, Aram Fingal and Devil Doll (it’s always nice to have at least one guest you know won’t each much), just to name a few. Sure, I’ld have to rent-out a banquet hall to seat everybody, but the mayhem that would surely ensue would be worth every penny!
I think I’d invite Nick from Time Chasers. I don’t really want him there or anything, but making that douche ride his bike all the way from Vermont to Indiana would be some sweet revenge for that movie.
Mikey from Teen-Age Strangler is a must. He is the prototypical weird cousin/nephew.
I would invite Cabot just so I could shout “Cabot!!” every 2 minutes.
And The Pumaman for his huge rear projector.
Toblerone from Escape 2000 for anecdotes and jokes.
Benton from Mitchell for his food-preparing skills.
Natalie from Werewolf for selfish reasons.
Not the Devil Doll because he would just complain that we don’t have any ham.
All the women from Horror of Spider Island, but Babs would probably eat all the stuffing.
I think I’d invite Vi’s head from Tormented. She could serve as a lovely centerpiece and she could carry on a pleasant conversation during dinner. Just don’t mention Tom Stewart.
Betty from Teen Agers from Outer Space. She’s fun! I just hope she doesn’t bring Gramps. The convicts from Swamp Diamonds, although someone would probably die after each course. John Banner from Crash of the Moons. He’s aggressively nice! The Turkey would be so klandintku.
@ MPSh – AGREE! But you have to pick her best! My pick: Unearthly. She was gorgeous in that one.
Xenos from the movie Outlaw.
That “psychicicical researcher” from The Undead would be a handy guest. Any time some selfish family member tried to make his excuses and leave, I could have the guy yell, “STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!”
The guys from Red Zone Cuba will bring the coffee and beans. We’ll need Cherokee Jack to fly in all the guests and don’t forget his scintillating conversation over dinner.
I’d invite Krankor, too, but not for the reasons listed above. Remember his ship? The giant turkey? Think of the savings. Think of the leftovers! Think about it, won’t you?
Vadinho. He’s a onion.
The girl’s town girls including Mamie and the Viking Women (sans serpent). I like a crowd. And then I’d bring Joy Harmon from Village of the Giants to referee…as you remember she was kind of big in that film.
Forty comments and no one has thought to invite Mike and Terry from Teen-Age Crime Wave? (–actually set at Thanksgiving — **hello**) They can participate in the Bible reading, and we can all join in not touching Terry because she’s dirt.
Then again, at our Turkey Day meetup here in PDX, one of the movies will be Night of the Blood Beast with the Turkey Day bumpers, so I guess we’ll have a lot of character guests.
Sorry, Matt Sandwich, I missed your post. I must go now and be alone with my shame.
I’d invite the Native American dude from Track of the Moon Beast. That way, he could bring the Chicken, onions… corn… (sigh) potatoes.
…oh and the guy from Phantom Planet so we could work off the big meal by having gravity-plate duels in the back yard.
And lastly, for entertainment, The Band That Played California Lady. I have so many questions about their career!
I would invite all the people posting in this thread. After dinner, we will randomly select 12 episodes. Bring your PJ’s; it will be an all-nighter.
Happy Thanksgiving! loran1958@hotmail.com
I think I’d invite the entire cast of Pod People. The poachers could shoot me a turkey. Then Trumpy could use his anteater/vacuum nose to suck all those nasty giblets out before I cooked it. The slutty backup singer could titillate everyone with her inappropriate sexual innuendo while dinner cooked. Then Molly Stevens could say grace, and the Ren Faire dude could yell, “Huzzah!” The “rock group” could entertain us with “Idiot Control Now,” and then Rick could tell us all that “it STINKS!” Best Thanksgiving ever!
Ator from Cavedwellers. We can eat turkey and craft some nice little Christmas presents together out of sticks and rocks. Who needs Black Friday! Then I would invite Mitchell over to eat up the leftovers, but I’ll have to be sure to hide the Slitz and porn. Of course I’ll invite Torgo and Ortega for some entertainment. They can have a grudge match with Arche Hall Jr. Goods times will be had!!!
#45 snowdog:
The “Band That Played …” is OK but a bit too big for the home.
So I’ll have to settle for the angelic, unadorned voice of…
Digger Smolken.
Mr. Krasker-He can entertain the guests with his many theories on contacting the afterlife and his work with the police.
Vidinho (sp?)-Because he is totally awesome and could help me (just plain do) anything that needs done.
Satoris and his cult-Anybody causes trouble Auntie’s jackbooted thugs will take them out.
