Reflections: I dearly love my job and my colleagues here, but permit me to whine a bit, as I am very skilled and practiced at it. At Pearl's request, Brain Guy makes him tiny. But no harm is done, as he uses Mike's credit card for this.ĭown in Castle Forrester, Bobo dresses like a ape, trying to fool them that he is an ape - that is, an ape other than Bobo.

He has to pay the full delivery cost of returning it. Mike freaks out and bashes both the bots with a variety of sporting goods, screaming himself the whole time. Segment Four: Now Crow tries to pull a joke, becoming a The Screaming Skull and frightening Mike.

Segment Three: Servo tries to scam a free coffin, as guaranteed at the beginning of The Screaming Skull for people who die of fright (not boredom) while watching this movie. Segment Two: The bots work through the trauma of having to watch Gumby mutilate robots by having their own clay figure show. (An editorial: As an MST performer, what I find most refreshing about acting on this show is the inherent dignity of the work: Where else would one find the challenge to one's "craft" of playing a fey omniscient albino alien who then dresses up in a goofy penguin suit? Go to hell, Shakespeare!. Mike and the 'bots throw together some makeshift animal costumes of their own, and everyone looks pretty dumb in the end. Segment One: Down in Castle Forrester, Pearl, Observer, and Bobo run around in penguin suits, pathetically trying to pull a practical joke on Mike and the bots, convincing them that they'd agreed to meet them there, also with penguin costumes on.
Apparently all along the Servo we knew had been a mere larva of what he was destined to be eventually. And a slow-witted, Snagglepuss-sounding, Torgo-Lite gardener named Mickey is tossed into the mix for a highly unsuccessful red herring. Damn you for even suggesting it!)Īnyways, some pie-faced minister and his mannish wife hang around a lot listening intently and absorbing little. Looneywife repeatedly contorts her face in horrible twisty fear (this is the scariest effect in the movie, by far) and bores us to tears walking around looking for things in a nightgown (making me think as I watched it: no, movie, yeah I know you're from the '50s and all so we have to cut you some slack, but I will never accept this fear-furrowed woman in her twelve-layer pegnoir as sexy. Creepyhusband tries to drive his wife batty by putting skulls in odd places. This is clear in the first ten minutes or so of the movie, but they go on spending an hour of our valuable time pretending there's some real mystery at hand. That is to say: HE'S GUILTY! HE'S REALLY, REALLY GUILTY! HEY EVERYONE, HE'S GUILTY!. This brand-new groom's new wife is loaded with family money too, and is more than a little unstable. His deceased wife died recently from a bashed-in head, under mysterious circumstances. The story: a shifty creep and his pathological worrywart of a new bride move into a Southern mansion owned by his late wife, and now bequeathed to him.

Or (my preferred title), "I Swear Before All That Is Good And Holy I Will Never Watch Another Movie Starring The Twisted Worry-Faced Mother From The Space Children (Episode 906) Ever, Ever Again, With God As My Witness." And that his failure in yardwork endeavors will be met by blistering punishment and the witholding of their love, replaced by the purest of hate. The delightful movie climaxes with the maiming and dismemberment of many robots, and the white-hot rage of Gumby's parents, who by story's end have taught their son that their love is always highly conditional on his success in finding innovations in yardwork. (Gumbo also runs around naked, in this universe with no rules.)īut Gumbo gets trounced by the robots until finally Gumby finds a way to kill them. They start tearing down the whole world, dammit! Mom summons dad, who is named Gumbo, though I fail to see his resemblance to the tasty shrimp, okra and sausage soup I had in New Orleans. Gumby's mother, who wears clothes, is very pleased with her son's ingenuity, as long as it's working. In this adventure, Gumby and his equestrian friend Pokey - who at least in some sense looks like a true horse - making us wonder what Gumby is technically supposed to be, dammit: a reanimated blob of spearmint gum? Sentient mucus? - well anyway, he and Pokey enslave some robots to do yardwork. He has elephantine legs tapering up to a thin, flat body, on top of which is perched a head which resembles a moss-covered Chippendale chair as designed by Salvador Dali, in that one side appears to be melting. Gumby is a strange, disturbingly high-crotched, nude green clay figure. Short Summary: Robot Rumpus stars Gumby, of "dammit" fame.
