I've been waiting for someone to post these two shorts on the same video, and the musical is the icing on the cake. On behalf of MSTies everywhere, thank you.
I don't know why, but the line "You've killed again, haven't you, son?" always cracks me up. It's just so MST3K. "He got sent to jail for it" is a good line, too.
Millennials these days! They don't work as hard we did back in the day! Oh wait everyone's been complaining about everyone since the beginning of time.
Save that Millennials DO work as hard as the Boomers claim they once did...often two or three jobs just to pay rent and buy food. Let's face it, history has shown Boomers nearly had everything handed to them. They were able to have one person work a 9-5 5 day job and be able to support a spouse, two kids, a pet, buy a car and house and still live comfortably. Millennials get the shaft from Boomers who think they're lazy and from an economy that is set up for them to fail no matter what they do.
@@kimbaptempura4073 You are wrong, Walker is entirely correct, and it's backed up by data. From a USA Today article "Millennials earn 20% less than Boomers did at same stage of life" "-[M]illennials earn 20 percent less than boomers did at the same stage of life, despite being better educated, according to a new analysis of Federal Reserve data by the advocacy group Young Invincibles. - Millennials have half the net worth of boomers. Their home ownership rate is lower, while their student debt is drastically higher. - People born in 1950 had a 79 percent chance of making more money than their parents. That figure steadily slipped over the past several decades, such that those born in 1980 had just a 50 percent chance of out-earning their parents." This isn't an issue of "bubble wrap" or "cry babies," the job market in America is shrinking thanks to deindustrialization and automation. You can make this economic situation about how you don't like the personalities of young people and find them whiney...but that's not productive and does nothing to address the major issues going on here. And this economic gap isn't just a young person's problem, its a problem that effects everybody, as our Millenial tax dollars are going to be paying the generation before us' social security - and if that's weakened, then that's not fun for anybody. I don't like looking at things as "Boomer" or "Millennial" - I think it's a term used to divide people and to breed contempt. Boil us down, and we all basically want the same thing and whatever problems we have we get through them by working together. When you're hating a group of people, it doesn't give you any power to fix the problems on the table, it takes away power. And, if anything, if all us Millenials are "bubble wrap" "cry babies,"...then a stark reality is that you're the one who raised us. So if you point the finger at us, then you have a share of responsibility in creating something you hate. And to deflect that criticism would be hypocritical as your complaint about Millenials is that they're taking responsibilities for themselves.
That’s was great that part but I remember years ago in the 1990s my parents lost it at that part They loved MST3K.I swear this show has fans spanning generations
+Jerry Dodson I love how it spontaneously resolves itself by diving into a patriotic fervor, Cohan-style. But Kevin's finest musical performance is, hands down, the Tom Servo Academy Chorus.
Kevin should've released his own album, his singing is so superb. And then in this musical, we got Gypsy, who's falsetto sounds too hilariously grating and jarring to even listen to.
Agreed they really riffed the hell out of this one had me in tear and the rest of my family when we first saw this in the early 90s on thanksgiving good times
Thank you for including the host segment with the parody Since this short was a single word with an exclamation point at the end, you know it MUST be a musical

"They won't work the way we did 11 years ago" And this came out in 1940. Ok, I'd love to be all 'the older generation always thinks that about these kids today!,' but if this guy has been able to not only keep, but move up the ladder from, a job selling CARS during the Depression, then yes...he worked harder than most people!
I was in awe seeing that host segment back when I was in third grade, I came home from school one day, and my Mom watch watching this episode one night, I wasn't paying attention, just playing Mario Kart Wii and doing schoolwork, and then when I heard some piano music, I immediately bolted to the living room, and in in deep amazement with the hole segment, even getting a couple of laughs over the "zeroes" part, when it was over, I was like "Why did they end that!? I love it!" At first my mother was in shock that I saw her watching that segment and she asked me "You loved it?!" I mean, she loved it too, but didn't pay attention to me seeing the musical. It was quite a unique moment in my childhood.

@1:30 House number 18961 is about 5 houses south of 7 Mile Rd on a street in NW Detroit. Those were lovely brick homes built in the 1930's. Note the fancy masonry and stonework. All houses around there had that. I suspect this is near Livernois.
AJ -- Chevrolet didn't make this in two parts. MST3K split it into two parts because of its length. The "to be continued" and "part II" were superimposed on the film.
One of the best jobs I've ever had was appointment setting for general contracting jobs. I would get the contractor through the door for a small job, and if they liked the job he did he get a bigger job and I'd get the commission for both, coming away with $500.00 to $700.00 paychecks every week. This was in the 90's.All went well until the owner of the company decided to bring an "expert" into the phone room to "improve things" He asked us the question about how we are getting sales and I proceeded to tell him what I was doing then he said that I gotta change my approach. "Huh??? Look if it ain't broke you don't fix it!!!" "Doesn't matter, we're going to do it my way." Needless to say that was the end of that run. Now whenever I see this short I can only think of, "Yeah but we got the freaking contract!!!".
Ironically, after Pearl Harbor, all production of new cars stopped and factories made military vehicles instead! Maybe that's not as ironic as it is unfortunate for those car salesmen...
As crappy as this instructional video was, it made a good point. Every generation always decries the next as being lazy, yet they don't do anything to lead and always lay blame on the generation they raised.
1:30. Lovely brick homes in Detroit just south of 7 Mile Rd. 18961 was my friend's house number, 5 houses south of 7. I bet those streets were near Livernois.
First, Rifftrax, then Cinematic Titanic, and now season 11 to 13. They need to make this a full musical, the musical segment's already perfect, but officially publishing a musical based on the shorts will be even better. anyone wanna start a petition, I'll get tickets if this happens!
I remember my mom Bride of the Monster. The "Hired! The Musical" segment was golden. And each time Joel looks troubled the two times Gypsy sang "ZEROES!" is what makes the segment funnier.

The MST3K musical version of "Hired" has been in my head for a week so I had to rewatch it after 20 years.
I've been waiting for someone to post these two shorts on the same video, and the musical is the icing on the cake. On behalf of MSTies everywhere, thank you.

And that blank stare at 14:55 haha
Back in the day when MST3K viewing parties were a thing, we'd hand out handkerchiefs for everyone to put on right at this scene.
I know right? is that really the best take they had.
Inka Dinka doo is what usually gets me.

Ode to “Untouchables” there

Crow: "-Was Harry!"
1:30. Lovely brick homes in Detroit just south of 7 Mile Rd. 18961 was my friend's house number, 5 houses south of 7. I bet those streets were near Livernois.
First, Rifftrax, then Cinematic Titanic, and now season 11 to 13.
They need to make this a full musical, the musical segment's already perfect, but officially publishing a musical based on the shorts will be even better. anyone wanna start a petition, I'll get tickets if this happens!
Bye, folks! Stay pink, soft and oily!
Who the hell buys a car every other year? Lol
Sitharos People who get into lots of accidents.
Especially in those days!
Ford owners
4:42 shows how it's hard to storm out of the room when you have to stop in the corner to get your hat.
The best part is, the "that's something you didn't hear much during the Bush administration" joke still works for Dubya.
Love these shorts. I practically piss laughing every time I watch one.
Classic Gypsy voice. I don't like the Netflix voice for her

Why are the actors in Hired yelling their lines? Were the microphones really shitty then?
Adam Shirk They’re very passionate.
BAD ACTING??!!!!!
That's a Detroit thing.
"There have sign says 'We have a car'"
I remember my mom Bride of the Monster. The "Hired! The Musical" segment was golden. And each time Joel looks troubled the two times Gypsy sang "ZEROES!" is what makes the segment funnier.
There used to be door-to-door salesmen who sold cars?! The forties were a weird time.
TEN CARS?!?
Yep, and he bought them all!
TEN CARS?! 😄
"He ripped you a new one every day."
At around 14:54, Pops looks like he's ready for the "giggle farm." I am the Great Pharoah of the Pyramids....bow before me
Much appreciated. I see that they've included both shorts on the Manos 2-disc DVD as well.

Ultimately it worked...for the first time in its 30 year history, Chevrolet sold a million cars in 1941.
Door to door car salesmen... Hnh.
