Don’t know who the enthused group of singers is, but this is fun!

This brought a tear to my eye.
All the men in that choir all look like serial killers.
Oh my gosh, one of the best Christmas presents a devout, long time Mystie could ever hope to see! There’s no tradition like a new tradition, right??!
Ok, you got a smile out of me on a gloomy day. Thanks!
Is it safe for a pregnant lady to sing this??????
Just the two words needed, “It Stinks!”
Excellent!
Great job choir! Much appreciated by this MSTie.
It’s too bad that the still shot ruins the surprise ending! Great redition, though!
I sure hope they also did the United Servo Academy Mens’ Chorus Hymn.
I am laughing and crying at the same time right now…….
There’s nothing like a traditional holiday song, beats “Grandma Got Run
Over By a Reindeer.”
One question: How long before it becomes a classic? Ah!
This made me laugh and clap. :yes:
Kudos to the choir making it through without cracking up! Although it’s possible they don’t get it? ;)
And nice to see a be-jumpsuited Joel, although Youtube spoiled the surprise.
Loved it! Joel’s cameo was great.
Awesome. I totally clapped and laughed loud at the end. Right on!
The most wonderful thing I will see this season!
Thank you, Joel, and the Patrick Swayze Singers!
Absolutely wonderful! How many takes do you think it took to do this without someone laughing?
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I would likely have missed this without this posting and I needed a smile. My gosh, this is wonderfully done; watched it a couple of times!
Late to post this, but perhaps it’s just because it’s been so long since we’ve had any active Mistie action, but Joel twice doing some MST3K? I missed the Turkey Day thing, but I got to watch the Joel segments on Youtube. I’m like everyone else, I felt a chill. Now this Patrick Swayze Christmas, and a thanks to Jim Mallon.
Do I dare wish for a possible MST3K get-together, at least once?
Man, that would be a GREAT Christmas present!
I dunno, Of No Account, most of them looked as though they hadn’t laughed in a week.
Anyone else notice Edward Snowden at the 12 second mark? I’m glad he leaked this video, in any case.
Thanks, Joel, for another holiday treat. What choir is this? I wish we could give them proper credit, too.
@itsspideyman
I was having that same thought. It almost feels like a buildup to something. We can hope.
I think the total deadpan look of all the singers — intentional, no doubt — added to the fun of this video. Do they take requests? I’d like to hear “Where Oh Werewolf” or “The Canada Song.”
Kind of makes you wonder how the song would go done by
the citizens and officals of Rutland, Vermont
or by Michael Feinstein after Thanksgiving dinner.
I do like this blitz of appearances Joel is doing and hope something positve *coughmoremst3kcough* comes of it.
I’m almost certain at this point that we’ll see at least SOME sort of revival of MST3K. People at the final Cinematic Titanic shows better listen carefully!
I know there will be a lot of discussion about what a revival would look like. As far as I’m concerned, Joel can do whatever version of MST3K he wants. He’s earned every right to bring HIS show back on his own terms.
Oh man, SO funny! Hope Mr. Swayze’s friends and family get the chance to enjoy it.
ok..I’m totally in the dark. Why does he say “it stinks” ?
You know, Rifftrax is doing Santa Claus Conquers the Martians on Thursday. How awesome would it be if Joel was a guest riffer?
@#27 – me– It’s a callback to episode 303 – Pod People.
I can’t believe they got through this with a straight face.
Would have been even better if tv’s Frank had appeared behind Joel
wearing an “I’m a virgin” teeshirt.
me, (post 27)
It was a reference to a line from episode 403, “Pod People.” It is originally said by the “singer” in the movie after an unsatisfactory (to him) take when he’s recording his latest “hit single.” In a later host segment, Joel & the bots along with the mads recreate the scene and Joel says “It stinks” after he finishes singing his song. Hope that answers your question.
Here’s a link to the previously mentioned host segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3CDX3Q5UxY
Very cute! I enjoyed it immensely.

I’m with you MattKelly. I know what I’d like but you’re right, Joel can do whatever he wishes. To for the first time in a long time see actual signs that give you hope makes me think that if he does it, everyone will be happy.
The best sign?
He gives a great shout out for Mike and thanks to Jim Mallon.
If nothing comes out of it, it shows Joel is all class.
Longtime lurker, first time poster. I’m not typically part of the “bring back MST3K crowd”, but it’s starting to feel like it could be going that way, and I think the circumstances of the potential players and the way we consume media now is going to play a big part in that.
After having a, ahem, rather mind expanding second Turkey Day marathon of the Russo-Finnish saga this past weekend with some old time fans, our minds wandered and wondered when, not if this is going to happen.
All the cards are in play – the Shout! sponsored online turkey day marathon (featuring the bots), Joel seemingly publicly acknowledging Mike’s contributions to the series for the first time in a positive light, Joel’s cameo in this video, some of the old episodes recently surfacing on Netflix again, Joel (and the rest of CT) having some more free time on their hands now…and Shout! being almost of existing material to release (relatively speaking)
I could see them bringing the series back via a joint venture between Netflix and Shout!…make 10 or 12 new episodes, maybe even try to get Mike, Kevin and Bill involved so that there can be both new Joel and Mike episodes, let the writers work together who like to work together to keep the chemistry intact…I think it could work. It’s probably not too much to ask to give these old guys a few months to write 5 or 6 new episodes each! I don’t see Mike and crew turning the possibility down since there’s already such a cross-brand fanbase between MST3K and Rifftrax.
Let Shout! make their money back a year or two down the road with DVD/digital sales. They could put one or two episodes into each new set that they release – this could turn what currently amounts to 3 or 4 years worth of episodes left to release to 5 or 6. These could take over the season 1 or 2 slot that a lot of sets have now. Not to say that it would be filler, but I’m sure there’s a section of the fanbase that won’t ever accept new stuff as they do now, so they can continue dealing with “3 out 4 ain’t bad”. ;) This will also give Shout! more time to secure the rights to existing episodes, by drawing out the amount of time that MST3K is viable in whatever is left of the home video market.
Thoughts?
“I like it very much.”
@Forbin: Stop me if I’m wrong, but I don’t recall Joel dissing Nelson’s contributions to MST3K at all; in fact, I read an interview recently where he mentioned how he thought the choice of Nelson to host after he left was a really good choice. Also, as far as all that goes, this whole RiffTrax/Cinematic Titanic “rivalry” was really mostly inflated, and not really a rivalry as such, kind of like the famous Beatles vs. Stones “rivalry” which also turned out to be pretty much bogus. But then again, I’m probably totally misreading your comment.

But, aaaaaaanyway… I’ve also noticed all kinds of “writing on the wall” lately which many of us, including my own self, are hoping points to a “reboot” of MST3K. It really doesn’t seem that far-fetched to me, seeing as how Amazon and Netflix are producing original series for their streaming video “channels”, and especially considering how well Netflix seems to be doing with their revival of Arrested Development. Also, of course, you’ve got their deal with Shout!; releasing any new episodes on DVD — perhaps after they’ve “aired” on Netflix — sounds like a helluvan idea. Then, there’s the possibility of selling episodes directly as VOD releases the way RiffTrax is distributing their work. (Must… get… around to… buying… RiffTrax… Mesa Of… Lost… Women… VOD…!)
Of course, the big debate at the SN/MST3K Journal Discussion Board and over at Club MST3K is about fun topics like what movies they ought to do (I’m rooting hard for Starcrash), who will host, who will voice Crow, what will happen with Pearl, stuff like that.
I only hope — desperately — that they don’t re-make the Doorway Sequence as a CGI animation. That would roundly suck.
I think the bevy of activity, lately, corresponds to the 25th anniversary of the show. I honestly don’t see much else coming after that trickles out, probably in January 2014.
I wonder if it would be a good or not so good idea to do the show again. Riffing seems to work well enough without any other accoutrements, like robots, premises or host segments.
Is this going to be on Mary Jo’s CD?
@38 Thanks for the pessimism, Debbie Downer…
@Mike Flugennock: Sorry if you misconstrued that, I guess what I was trying to say is that Joel seems to have always been very diplomatic about the situation and has had a “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” type attitude about it in interviews.
It was just the vibe that he seemed to have over the years up until the AMA and the marathon – just sort of a dismissive “next question please” type of reaction when asked about Mike’s contributions, most of the time.
It made sense in a way as well, because Joel had not really had a public life in recent years before launching Cinematic Titanic. Suddenly he comes out of the woodwork and is doing interviews, and when people ask him about what is now essentially a competing product (Rifftrax) I could see how he would want turn attention back to what he was up to now.
I still think new episodes are a great way to supplement the ongoing DVD releases. Realistically, there are probably 10-15 episodes that we’ll never seen on DVD. That means there’s about 35-40 more episodes that you might see on DVD someday – 3 years or so of releases at the current rate, so I’m sure they’d love to draw it out a little more.
Shout! seems to legitimately love MST3K and has already accomplished amazing things in the licensing realm. I’d love for them to have 5 or 6 more years to lock down as many old episodes as possible as opposed to just 3 or so, and the money they must be spending now to secure these existing episodes, it can’t be THAT much more expensive to lock down the rights to movies they’ve never done before.
If they ever do new episodes some sequels would be good fodder. Any of the
Highlander movies (esp. after the first one)- if they could get the rights
to them, or the 3rd or 4th Alien movies (the 2nd is arguably better than the 1st).
But get them on dvd. I’ve never done any Rifftrax, it just seems too convoluted
a procedure. I guess there’s no chance of more Film Crews? It shouldn’t be that
hard to recreate the basement set they used.
A reunion of some sort certainly seems more likely now than ever before, but that still may not mean it’s at all likely. MST3k is not one of those shows I feel is begging to be revisited (such as Firefly, etc.), because it did enjoy such a long and luxurious run (thankfully!), and because, frankly, it will be years before I can ever catch up and finally see ALL of the episodes currently available.
BUT… the idea is certainly intriguing. I enjoy the many RiffTrax I’ve seen, but there’s just something a little sillier about it without the bots (especially their obviously-staged interactions with each other). I’ve heard Joel (or maybe it was Jim) say that whenever they’ve talked about a reunion, it was too confusing because of the questions of who would host, who would voice such and such a puppet, etc., but that never made any sense to me. You’re talking about a show in which Frank dies all the time, Mike & TB become pure energy or some such for a time and then become corporeal again when it’s convenient, and, oh yes, a woman drives a VW van through space with a talking ape and a guy holding his brain in a bowl, then gets sucked through a wormhole and ends up in ancient Rome, and then… well, I think I’ve made my point. They wouldn’t need to figure out some complicated story explanation; a number of simple, appropriately mockable sci-fi plot device (wormholes + time travel + alternate timelines + alternate dimensions a la sliders, etc.) would allow for a concept flexible enough to allow performers from all eras to be involved.
