Easter Egg in Vol. XVII

It’s the season for Easter eggs, and our pal Tom Noel of the totally awesome “Temple of MST3K Stuff” has found one…

…on the “Beatniks” DVD from set XVII. If you go to the Extras menu and highlight the MST hour segments option then click the left arrow you will see that the EXTRA title at the top of the screen is now clickable. If you click it you will see Mike and the bots perform The Greatest Frank of All live at the 1994 Conventio-Con. Frank’s interpretive dance is also included.

Hilarious stuff.

    So cool! Have I missed other Easter Eggs, or is this the first one from Shout! Factory?

    I can’t take the credit for finding it, but as soon as I heard about it I tried to spread the word.

    I fun little clip. I hope we see more of them on later sets.

    Nice to see, but Frank in tights was very upsetting.

    I think I’m the first one who found it. I was definitely the first one to post at SF’s message board about it.

    Unfortunately, the beginning part is still cut off just like in the scrapbook.

    I have found only one other Easter Egg on the SHOUT DVDs. I don’t know if this was ever posted or not, but here it is. It’s on Santa Claus in volume XVI. Scroll down to Extras. Press your remote’s right arrow key <— (it's on your left , but the screen's right)to highlight (dim out?) the control panel's blue button which will turn purple. Press Enter to see "Making the Episode: The Songs". A cool little Easter Egg, or is it a Christmas Present?

    Thanks for te3lling about the Easter Egg, but now
    I have to decide which is a more frightening video,
    TV’s Frank in tights or Rush Limbaugh jumping up and
    down on a stage. :shock:

    There was also an extra on the Zombie Nightmare disk in set XV. It took you to a pretty cheesy music video by Jon Mikl Thor.

    Hey #8, on the Santa Claus disk there are actually 2 different easter eggs. When you first insert the disk, highlight extras and when the blue button turns purple hit enter. You’ll see Kevin and Paul discussing the Gift Exchange host segment in the episode. When you go back to the main menu and repeat the exact same process you’ll see Kevin and Bill discussing The Songs.

    Hey. Rushbo’s thin now, #10.

    Thanks # 12! That’s pretty clever on Shout’s part. An Easter Egg you can only see on boot up! (Then that particular egg is gone until you start it up next time!) I’ll have to look for that trick on future disks. Thanks again!!

    Yep, you’re right mst3ktemple! The cheesy Jon Miki Thor video Easter Egg on Zombie Nightmare is only accessible in the boot up cycle!

    Shout is missing the boat not releasing some of these hard to find stuff… Scrapbook and Last Dance:RAW are way OOP and never had a DVD release.

    Joel said quite a while back that they MIGHT be releasing Green Slime as some special fan thing… but Jim was in the loop on it mostly.

    So is the Rushmeister taking any “pills” for
    that result?

    Ok, so the “Let Me Be Frank About Frank” extra on the Beatniks, the two Santa Claus Easter Eggs, and the Thor music video on Zombie Nightmare.

    Are these the only four Shout! Factory Easter eggs?

    Were there any Rhino Easter eggs?

    #19 I was hoping someone else would chime in. We’ve mentioned all the Easter eggs I know about, but I was hoping there would be some more.

    On one of the Rhino discs that had a jukebox, there is an Easter egg of the Sandy Frank song.

    Good Lord, when Mike sang “if only the sun and the moon would corride (sic) to be Frank,” I almost lost it. Thanks for letting us know about this!
