Though the riffing of the entire movie was one of my favorite episodes, my favorite part of the entire film was the opening monologue by Hugh DownDownDowns.
Who could not love an introduction by Dr. Research himself? Learned man of science who also acknowledges the beliefs and stories of people held throughout history. We've seen even gods themselves respect and love him.
Priest: "Would you tell us that you are gods?" Crow: "Agar will." The jabs at his pomposity are as good as the Joe Don Baker jabs on how slovenly he is.
I was just watching Gremlins and guy from the intro is in that movie! He’s in the science class movie scene talking about the heartbeat rate of animals. All I was thinking was: down, down, down, inner downess.
Even though Tom's blow off line about the gay, impotent, priest that's a hologram on the run from the law is one of the funniest lines ever, i can't believe you didn't include Nestor Paiva frantically worrying: "We're trapped! No food! No water!" To which Tom replies: *"Oh, we got FOOD, old man...."* Lines like: "Is the first stage of grief pure, unbridled joy?" are also genius.
a·gar noun Also, a·gar-a·gar. Also called Chinese gelatin, Chinese isinglass, Japanese gelatin, Japanese isinglass. a gelatinlike product of certain seaweeds, used for solidifying certain culture media, as a thickening agent for ice cream and other foods, as a substitute for gelatin, in adhesives, as an emulsifier, etc.
Didn't Agar once say, "Shake hands with the man that nailed America's Sweetheart!" (referring to Shirley Temple)? Makes me think quite possibly his characters that had an overblown sense of self-worth (all of them?) weren't just an act.
I have commented on this before, but I love your descriptions as much as these awesome videos! I hope you keep uploading--and writing--as often as you can! :D
I'm surprised they resisted the urge to throw in a "Rock climbing, Mike" joke. (Especially since Mike naturally would have no idea what Tom and Crow were on about.)
Albino Sumerian (Iraqi) people who escaped a Judaeo flood in biblical times, decent into the underworld, worshiping the Babylonian god Ishtar.. which is actually a eight sided star, not a chevron, that tells them to draw Egyptian gods all over the walls.. wonderful..
This film makes Plan 9 from Outer Space look like a decent film. At least that one was by a director who had some degree of talent. Plan 9 is enjoyably bad. This piece of trash is a confusing, jumbled mess with annoying characters only made bearable by the Mystery Science crew riffing it a new one.
The Dickies have a song called Attack Of The Mole Men. I didn't know it was about this movie until I saw this film on Svengoolie last night. I looked up the lyrics and laughed.

Another fun fact is the actor who plays the high priest played Alfred in the 1960s Batman series (the one with Adam West).
thus a quip that didn't make this video
"No one shall tell Master Wayne of out little soiree"
It's rare for an MST3K movie to come with its own preceding meaningless short.
My favorite moment, missed during the mole attack footage, was them chanting "Union! Union!"

"This is easy archaeology, people just BRING you stuff!"
He died as he lived; A TOTAL LOAD!
+Gregory House "Contents of load may have shifted during death"...
"Did you learn that song as a child?" "I'm tuning it."
4:28: "They're only keeping this guy so they can hollow him out and crawl inside when he dies." -- a favorite MST line, used in a bunch of films.
2:55 - "Older than Frampton Comes Alive" - Priceless!
I'm so happy "MY LIFE IS A LIE" and "YOU NEVER WOULD BELIEVE WHERE THE KEEBLER COOKIES COME FROM." are in here.
"This movie is just ropes and asses!"
Ooh, if I had a nickel for every time I'd heard that

"Oh that narrows it down"
The riffing on a mediocre film here was great. One of my favorite episodes. John Agar and High Beaumont are solid.
9:00 -- "If someone asks if you're a god, you say YES!!!" :P
"High" "Hi!" "High" "Hi!, Friendly kid"
I love this little show.
"It's just a jump to the left!" Is that the Rocky Horror Professor?
Think is might be.
This isn't a natural cavern, it's a perverted unnatural cavern!
Lol
Ah, the classic unison "SHUT UP!!"

"I am John The Pompous Ass"
This is why the Cleavers stopped at two kids.
Thank you. This video has helped me get in touch with my inner down-ness.

One of my faves, thanks for posting.
“This movie is just ropes and asses!” 😂😂😂
Virgil Vogel? Any relation to Mike Vogel?
"We camp over here!"
And we dig our graves over there!
"Hey hoser, better fix the peg, eh?"
“I’m fading..!!!” That line slays me everytime!!
Are the Mole People related to the Wart People? How about the Teenage Blemish People...where do they fit in?
"And up from the ground/comes the Union film crew..."
Didn't Agar once say, "Shake hands with the man that nailed America's Sweetheart!" (referring to Shirley Temple)?

A man, a plan, a canal: Laszlo Gorog.
Gorog was married to Adam Carolla's grandmother. #FunFact

Special effects by Timmy and Spazz.
Meanwhile Nergal and Nergal Junior are just shaking their heads......
@ 6:28 this movie is just ropes and ass`s.....................laughed until i peeed llolololololol
I always wondered WHY this Movie was not nominated for the Academy?
I’M FAINTING

Peanut nostrils, happy clams.
"The REALLY nutty professor!"
yay, new upload.... awesome, thanks for sharing
You got your Batwoman in my Mole People!!
Kevin Norton Why the producers of The Mole People didn't sue the creeps behind "Wild World Of Batwoman" for stealing their footage?

2:25 Ah, well. That narrows it down
the 2nd weirdest opening dialogue only "beaten" by the super monotonous totally incomprehensible opening dialogue in Dune
Pilgrim
I love this episode ! I love mst3k! Thanks for sharing !but it drives me crazy it's goddess Ishtar not goddess of Ishtar
How John Agar wind up from being John Wayne's costar to being B-movie fodder, I'll never fully comprehend. 🤔
movie, "we'll make camp here."
crow, "and we'll dig our graves over there."
movie, "did you learn that song as a child?"
mike, "i'm tuning it."
14:23 SHUT UP
Maybe that was Bjork doing the Spin dance at 13 minutes
How did they leave out the card table quip and crow and servo's whipping remarks?
The commentary is so good..
7:43 is that Moleman wearing a watch..
Not sure, but it is entirely possible 😊
Don't try to make a matinee out of a mole film.
"Why did we bring this Old guy..?"
I really want a copy of this episode in full. Send me a message if you can help, please.
Hey! That's Beaver Cleaver's dad!
This Episode makes me wet myself. lol
He died as he lived. A total load.
The Hollow Earth theory with John Agar. I actually liked Cynthia Patrick and Hugh Beaumont here. Corny, Campy and decidedly 50s, 5/10
If Wally and Beav' only knew...
H R Puff and Stuff in the universe I came from.
5:19
Load...
Disney's Dominatrix World!
I wish...😟
There's sand up my skirt and I'm not wearing any underwear ooooh
I'm going to go Whip the Moe.
Agar's character is simply an average cis/het white man.
Oink!
I like Svengoolie much better than these guys.
Nothing wrong with that, as we all have different tastes.
I'll take goofy riffs over warmed-over song parodies any day, Thank You. 😐
@@luisreyes1963 To each their own. I don't care for the song parodies either. But, I like Sven's sense of humor.
That’s a lot different, he doesn’t riff during the movie from what I recall. Can’t compare. MST3K is hilarious 😂 imo.
theyre not funny one bit
I think they are incredibly funny 😆 It’s literally my favorite show of all time so it’s odd to hear someone say its not funny. To each their own …
