In the 70's I worked in the air defence command. The radio transmissions in this movie was actually accurate. "Give me pigieons to home plate" from the pilot means "Give me bearing to my main base" and he would be talking to a SAGE site. It's no no longer used.
13:26 was my very first exposure to MST3k. Then I rented the movie, and then my friend got a bunch of episodes on old VHS tapes that kept breaking and it was the start of something amazing. Actually, said friend and I bonded over MST3k and I was a man at his wedding (not best man, just, you know, one of the other ones)
SodapopKevin Space Mutiny was my first full episode of MST3K while my first exposure of it was the movie itself. I can recommend those episodes as well as stuff like Project Moonbase, Future War, the Mole People, Godzilla vs. Megalon, and the Gamera movie they did as some other recommendations
"I peed your pants, I'm not sure how" MST3K, the only show with even less logic than spongebob...though unlike spongebob they kind of acknowledge it in the opening credits
"Yellow snow sir -- can I eat it?" "It's kind of bad timing, they were about to toss Grandma onto the tundra." "Don't ask, don't tell, but have a darn good time!" "Scream like hell and die."
would've loved it if he clipped in the part where the guys is like "I've got Conan on the hotline colonel" and then Servo does a funny voice of "Dis is Gonan" Still, 15 minutes of good laughs :) The Deadly Mantis is definitely in my top 10 of favorite epsiodes of the show
I have my own running gag I like to do with this movie, whenever the scientists are gathered and are very poorly trying to figure out what’s going on I like to punctuate each meeting with “one thing is certain it cannot be a giant deadly mantis”.
Some times it is the simplest throw away lines that crack me up. Hail Ming is classic. And in "werewolf" when out of nowhere they just show a ceiling fan and somebdoy says "The movies biggest fan" lol. In "Hercules" when for some strange reason the camera is pointed up to the sky and you can only see like the tops of the characters heads as they speak and Joel says "Great Shot".
My absolute favorite line from any of them was "Prince of Space." Aliens land in empty field and start searching for something and one of them says "I don't understand it, we were supposed to meet the heavens gate people right here!"
I made a cat skeleton just like that but I used Elmer's Glue and the cat came back alive in the hot sun - the new biology teacher told me to come to school in the summer to get the cat. haha

"We should get going"....."but I`ve got a mantis in my pantis"......greatest line ever!!
I agree! Best line in this ep, and maybe all time in MST3K.
Best line of all MST3K
"For every action, there's a Jackson." lol
"He traded in his Chevy for a kayak-ak-ak-ak-ak-ak-ak" (We oughta know by now!)
Bad sci-fi films from the 50`s were a gold-mine for this show.
I nearly died at "Who are you men and where's my soup?"
Martha died ya know...
Everything with that old scientist man is pure gold.
"That's your thumb, you dork!"
"I peed your pants. I'm not sure how."
"Yellow snow, sir. Can I eat it?"
One of my favorite episodes of all time.
"That's me, right there. Me!" :)
"For every action--" "There is a Jackson!" Funny!

Ive never see a blip like tthis It's there then it's gone. "I think that's the definition of a blip."
"Apparantly, the director was a former catographer." I've seen tons of stock footage but never seen a movie with so much stock maps.
"But I got a mantis in my pantis."
That is the funniest line. thanks for mentioning it!
Mary Adkins agree.
Still one of my all time favourite MST3K quotes.
It’s been 20 years since I heard that line and I almost threw up laughing
And from that day forward, Mike Nelson was declared "Destroyer of Worlds".
There are more great lines in this episode than any other I think. Hail Ming!
Check out werewolf, space mutiny and final sacrifice. Those are my favorites.
"Hey Mike! Hey Mike! Get a load of this!"
"There's a radar screen here!" - Crow
I loved Werewolf and The final Sacrifice, so I'll support the recommendations.
The 2 Master Ninjas are really good to.

4:20 "Man, I am so baked right now. You oughta hear this Rush tape."
"Don't ask, don't tell, bur have a DARN good time!"
"Inuit Baywatch."
"If everyone had a kayak, across the Bering Strait!"
"Frosty the snowman was a victim of a pistol whipping."
Could always be worse. You could be subjected to daily whispers of:
"I gotta Mantis in my Pantis."
"I peed your pants, I'm not sure how" MST3K, the only show with even less logic than spongebob...though unlike spongebob they kind of acknowledge it in the opening credits
It's a magma flow of savings at MENARDS!
😅😅😅😅
@@jenaesmith3259 "Don't soak your map in NITROGLYCERIN!!" - A classic riff of Mike's from the explosion bit
"We really need you to stop talking funny and kill that big bug. Over."
"Yellow snow sir -- can I eat it?" "It's kind of bad timing, they were about to toss Grandma onto the tundra." "Don't ask, don't tell, but have a darn good time!" "Scream like hell and die."
MST3K, best show ever
Welcome to Ventriloquist Island!
had forgot about that one...dead
@3:16
"Rock & roll...just as I suspected."
Some of the non sequitor riffs are just too good...
11:57 - "Meanwhile, the city hoses down Pavarotti's sheets."
LMAO!
"Airborne with four chickens heading 0-3-5."
Haha, what the Hell? Crow's reaction is priceless. 11:08
would've loved it if he clipped in the part where the guys is like "I've got Conan on the hotline colonel" and then Servo does a funny voice of "Dis is Gonan" Still, 15 minutes of good laughs :) The Deadly Mantis is definitely in my top 10 of favorite epsiodes of the show
10:15 But I got a mantis in my pantos! I've waited 27 years to hear that line again. Thanks for including that clip:)
Could hardly be left out. :)
It's Paul Drake!...It's a wonder that he has any time at all to dedicate to science with all the cases Perry Mason sends him on.
"He's flipping us off!"lol 14:16
HE'S FLIPPIN' US OFF!
"I peed your pants. I'm not sure how" Always makes me laugh!
“Coffee, Colonel?”
“Head injury, Corporal?”
"Tsk-Tsk-Tsk, It's a peeping mantis!"
"Get back in your little boat grandpa." Lol
Some of the jokes are just little snapshots of history: "The last moments of the Dole campaign..." and "Somehow, this gets Serbia into the war."
"O little town of Death-lehem."
I have my own running gag I like to do with this movie, whenever the scientists are gathered and are very poorly trying to figure out what’s going on I like to punctuate each meeting with “one thing is certain it cannot be a giant deadly mantis”.
“These sheets were trying to use our drinking fountain, sir!” is a fucking hilarious line that would NEVER fly in 2020.
Equal rights for pigs!
............OHHHHHHHHHHHH! Yeah no way would it. 😂😂
Why, because the GOP is taking us back to the 1950s?
"Don't ask, don't tell but have a darn good time."
"Little town of DEATH-lahem!"
"Sky King!"
"The final desperate hours of the Dole campaign."
"These sheets were trying to use our drinking fountain!"
HOLY SHIT
Enjoyed this mostly bad sci fi from the fifties. MST3K does great.
"Go take the picture....really, woman."
"Get back in your little boat, grandpa!" I forgot about that!
2020, and still love me some MST3K gold...
"Everything was jake". Everything was fine, excellent.
Who are you men and where's my soup?
I'll take a bowl 🥣 of chicken noodle 🍜 ! 👌
"Filmed in bald-spot vision."
THIS IS CONAN
Mike,"And you are?"
"I've got a mantis in my pantis."
"this guy's insurance only covers damage by giant arachnids" lol
He's with a woman
Crow: With breasts and everything lol
08:23 “Well, where’s the woman?” 👀😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
They always seem to have a blast with William Alland films. which are fun films
Has to be up there as one of the best ever MST3K lines!

O little town of DEATHlehem!
"This is Beagle 1-7." "Arf, arf."
Tom: We need big swatter! Over!
Get back in yer litl' boat, grandpa!
"Filmed in bald spot vision"......
In there last desperate moments they taped salad bowls to the roof of the plane
"But, Ned, what about my pictures?""Oh! There'll be pictures alright."
Inuit Bay Watch...:) And Thanks to the Ground Observers... Mike; KEEP WATCHING THE GROUND! :D...
I've always wondered why and how the mantis ended up in the Holland Tunnel.
Final desperate hours of the Dole campaign? That looked more like the high water mark!
Thanks man. One my top 10 Eps here. Really appreciate this :)
‘It was the Comanches, Sir.’
I'm Cherokee Jack.
A boxing nun puppet...maybe the best MST3K line ever.
Because of volcano activity a creature named Santa Claus, crawled out of the ice xP
It's weird as hell to hear my hometown mentioned in a B-movie.
"It's not from an animal..."
I guess this scientist subscribes to the unpopular theory that insects are from the plant kingdom.
Don't be daft. Insects are clearly protozoan.
You’re both wrong. They’re invasive species.
THE best smokey marionette monster movie ever!!
“Don’t you play games with me, Ned Jackson.” “Not even our Strip Risk?”
Mr. Mantis goes to WashingDEATH!
So this is where the giant mantis from War of The Monsters comes from.
Servo: Starring... Vanilla Ice! Ice Cube! Phoebe Snow! Ice T! Hank Snow! *chuckles*
Crow: And our _SUPER_ white cast!
Servo: For whiter whites, use Universal Movies.
I made a cat skeleton just like that but I used Elmer's Glue and the cat came back alive in the hot sun - the new biology teacher told me to come to school in the summer to get the cat. haha
"Who's going to drive me home?"
Jack Thompson please don't say elimination
To be honest, the effects aren't half-bad for the time. The sound it makes though...
Wish we could get the full version.
logan ...you can. It’s now on UA-cam
@@teresas8173 woop
Mike: Don’t soak your map in NITROGLYCERIN!!
8:26 I think this guy is familiar with dishonorable discharge
“If everybody had a kayak…’Cross the Bering Strait….” 🎵
A mantis in his pantis.
“Uh, Mantis isn’t here, he just left, thanks!”
Bus drivers in love.
I made the mistake of showing a few co workers this video, now daily I hear " Get back in your little boat." and "The little town of Death-lehem."
one of my favorite episodes, a perfect example of a generic, terrible 50's monster B-movie
“What flesh-eating insect of normal size has such a hook?”
“The worm?”
I swear I saw that bit of stock footage at 2:09 in a Science Channel show, probably What On Earth or Strange Evidence.
"We have received top clearance to play on him."
oh god this rivals the final sacrifice.
And Craig Stevens was the star of Peter Gunn. You forgot to mention that.
So... you think it's gonna snow?
