Weekend Discussion Thread: MSTed Movie Characters You Could Be Friends With

Ken suggests a topic:

MST character (from movies or among hosts) you think you could be best friends with.

I’m going to go with Henry Krasker in “The Dead Talk Back.” Seems like he’d be a good conversationalist.

Who would you pick, and why?

Keep sending suggestions!

    Tracy from Pod People. She would be a blast to hang out with! She could sing background for crummy songs I came up with, and her fashion sense is off the charts. If I could pry her away from the bears and rangers I think we would fall in love. Plus she can cook!

    Torgo! He’s loyal, connected and seems like he’d be fun at parties. On a sleazier note, I’d love to get friendly with Gloria from Sinister Urge, if you know what I mean.

    Me and my best buds Peaches Page, Tor Johnson and The Thing That Couldn’t Die are all antsy after a long winter. Yes it’s time for a…Roadtrip!!!! Wooooo! Yes we’re ready to pop the clutch and tell the world to eat our collective dust!

    We’ll stop every 2 hours to make sure Peaches gets her jumping jacks in. The boys and I will watch intently to make sure Peaches uses proper form. When the inevitable flat occurs Tor will be our car jack. We’ll stop somewhere in wild America so Tor can pet the rabbits too. The Thing will occupy the dashboard regaling us with stories of yesteryear – until we get sick of him and stuff him in the glove box. We’ll pull him out of the glove box to let him work his magic on cops trying to give us speeding tickets.

    Time for go to bed? Oh I don’t think so. Me and my friends do it for the kicks.

    Alan Brooks from The Crawling Eye. He gets to travel everywhere neat stuff is happening, he’s not horrible to be around and he does surprising things like handing lit objects to people who obviously shouldn’t have them. That would keep things interesting.

    I think I would like to hang out with the gang from the short “Design for Dreaming”. They look like they know how to party,
    I wonder what kind of future beer they have in that kitchen of tomorrow? The leading lady is a looker, I’d love to fly around town with her and I’m sure we could be friends. How about all those great futuristic cars we could drive around in. In the future cars will probably come with beer taps, and other fun stuff. Firebird two to tower, we are outta here, and watch out for that dead raccoon of tomorrow. Thank you Sirs

    Grandfather Frost
    Batwoman
    Derek -the TFOS
    Dr Gavin and his trusty sidekick, Eulabelle
    Genius of “Village of the Giants”
    Nobody would mess with us!

    Now, friends with benefits is a long list, starting with: Bart Fargo; the runaway from Future War…

    Droppo from SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS, because he’s the laziest man on Mars and I’m the laziest man on Earth. We’re a perfect match1

    If you get the munchies what could be better than visiting Professor Longbow and sitting down to some his famous stew?
    Yum: chicken, corn, green peppers, chili… *sigh* onions… rattlesnake, velveeta…

    Kevin Murphy –

    Here is a man who worked his butt off alongside the other Brains to make MST3K successful. When the show wrapped up he turned lemons into lemon meringue pie and took a trip around the world watching movies every day. Whether it’s a trip to Papua New Guinea, a fishing trip to the clam flowage, or just an evening at home with the wives I think Kevin would be great company. Just think of the stories he could tell! — Jay

    Scratch everything I said before – I’m dumping those losers. Toblerone just called! He’s wilder than Chopper and way more fun than Scooter.

    Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

    The hippie from Laserblast would always some great weed. And could be counted on for interesting if non-linear conversation. The way Toblerone laughs I think he might already know said hippie. Maybe Ator and or his mentor could drop by for some abstract philosophy. Dalton could try to explain why pain doesn’t hurt. With enough weed it might make sense, though I’ve never been that stoned personally. It could be fun unless the bald professor from the beginning of The Mole People started going on and on about his inner Earth theories and brought us down, down, down…

    Rommel seemed like he’d be a good friend, except for his other friends.

    Not much of a drinkin’ man myself, but if I was I agree that Rousdour would be a much better drinking companion than Mitchel. I think I’d need to OD on Heroin before I’d want to hang out with Mitchel.

    The Drew Carey/Randy Quaid guy from Teenage Strangler. I could sit at his lunch counter (as long as he kept that goofy teenage Yipe Stripes girl off it), and he’d lend a friendly, listening ear. Plus he’d serve me up a mean hamburger sammich with french fried potatoes whenever I was feeling peckish.

    Also, I’d get free root floats for LIFE.

    Make that root “beer” floats.

    Or root floats, whatever. Cattails can be tasty.

    I would NEED my friend to be Officer Maltese Maria from Final Justice. She doesn’t seem to judge when your gun down 3 men In Cold Blood in the middle of the Town Square and I need that in a friend! She is either the most patient person on the face of the planet or she is so heavily medicated on antidepressants that even Joe Don Baker doesn’t disturb her!

    Friends in general, or best friends? For BF, I’d have to say any character that Beverly Garland played. She was awesome in anything. For a drinking buddy, no question — ROWSDOWER!!!

    I would choose Troy from FInal Sacrifice. At least I know I would be the cooler kid in the room at all times!!!!!!

    Understandable…but did want to point out the fact that Rowsdower could be in the mix frequently given Troy & Row’s history…dropping you to no better than 2nd coolest in any given room (not knocking your coolness mind you, no one can compete with Rowsdower’s universal appeal).

    Rowsdower and I would cruise around, eradicating cults, and if we ever ran out of beer we’d pick up Father Mushroom from Jack Frost and have a good time.

    I’d also go with Derek from Teenagers From Outer Space. I could enjoy teaching him about Earth and hearing about his planet.
