I never knew of mst3k's existence until a few weeks ago, now i'm hooked. It's such a funny, friendly show and the D.I.Y low budget look of the show just adds to its warmth and charm =D
Welcome to the club, fellow mstie! :) Yeah, your comment is from 12 years ago, but it took a long time for approval for this welcome to work it’s way through the bureaucracy.
Tommy, Mary and Jane were later executed after Jimmy staged a bloody coup, declaring himself Posture Emperor for Life. Great short, thanks for posting.
I'm a hardcore Mystie...started recording them on VHS when they first came to Comedy Central. When Penn Gillete was the voice for Comedy Central. Now I am working on my DVD collection. The Legend of Boggey Creek: The Legend Continues is one of my all time favs. So a very big AYE to you clambo !!! A very Big AYE !!!
after the crowning, a revolution broke out in the classroom. the king queen of postures heads are mounted on pikes, and the prince and princess of posture were buried alive at sea. Mrs. Martin lived happily in a cottage in France for the rest of her days.
I came across this MST short flipping through channels around 1992 and was instantly hooked. It's great that they are doing new stuff now (RiffTrax and The Film Crew).
"Okay honey I'm going to kill this tree if you don't stand straight!" "A tree plant shouldn't bend like that!" JOEL: "Then stop doing it!" My favorite lines from this short.
Oh the things you could spend class time on when you weren't being held hostage to a one size fits all standardized test... Art, creative writing, posture...
There is another episode, perhaps the next one after this, and they are still talking about this short. Either Crow or Servo says he wants to, "marry into posture."
"My Name's Sally and I'm a shackolic"..."Hello Sally!!" 'Thank You..thank you very much I'm wearing a pantsuit" "They go away to Burger King to get crappy hats" "Mom's dress matches the wallpaper" "Sorry...mom-dad" "Fixed!!, Its Fixed!!" LOL--Funniest Quotes in this short
During the intro of this episode, Crow was talked into doing a video for TV's Funniest Home Videos- they were going for it's funny when you get hurt route. Crow got burned playing a little girl on a stack of boxes filled with flammable pajamas- Tom played pyrotechie for this stunt. :D
My personal favorite: "A playground where Apes evolved from MEN?!" ...I hope somewhere, somehow, Mr. Heston got to see that (and got as big a laugh out of it as I did.)
Anyone notice this clip was briefly alluded to in the opening segment of "Fire Maidens" Where Joel was about to crown the "King and Queen of posture?" I think it was Fire Maidens. It was the one with "Timmy" the evil spectre of Crow.
Actually it IS possible to straighten your spine completely, but you'd need something on you, of coarse it doesn't take tourture devices to do that. If you walk around with a "perfect" posture and something heavy enough to knock you down hits you on your head, it could shatter your spine, even if your head doesn't fracture and you survive.
In the opening host segment, the gang was staging a video for "America's Goofiest Home Videos" with Crow as a little girl atop a stack of boxes full of flammable pajamas. Servo provided the special effects...with a blow torch. Crow became extra crispy.
During the first broadcast I remember laughing really hard at "and truck like the doo dah man" but ya know, it was a giant champagne brunch. Don't hate.
This film was made before they found out scoliosis was causing all the problems with posture. After this was discovered, public school students had to constantly endure scoliosis screenings at least once a day.
A very good observation! I'm sure that fact didn't appear in the New England Journal of Medicine for another decade or 2. Healthy posture was superseded by the pursuit of a husband.
"The voice-over guy sounds like the guy from the Empire Carpet commercials." He does sound like him...And I've watched the commercials plenty of times.
Melissa Gilbert isn't in this one. She was born in 1964, and this was filmed in 1952. Besides, when she was this age she was already starring in Little House on the Prairie.
This clip has some of the best zingers of the show. "Shleeep!" "OH, NO! MY SPINE! GAAAAAAH!" "Did you do this? Who did this? WHO DID THIS!" "Next week, Psture Pope: In Color!"
Crow's burned-up silhouette gets me every time
He looks like Mangle when he got burnt..
The shorts are some of the funniest things about MST3K
“out of balance, just like a house about to fall”
“just like his dad on friday night”
I LOVE THIS SHOW
jacko twice fancy
They had a self-help video for everything in the 1950's.
Posture started in the 20's along with sleeping with the window open. This was about the 10th posture film.
But not for minorities and spouse abuse.
@@jean-lucpicard5510 Or for mental health issues

"You can see that this boy needs help."
"He's a loser and the kids let him know it."
Narrator: Don't you agree that these four children deserve to win, after trying so hard to improve their postures?
Joel, Tom, and Crow: NO.
XD
Cause they're on the payroll.
Best MST3K joke ever!
FIX!
"Now their chances of ever being cool are ruined for life" LMAO
Donald Thompson cause they're the only kids in their class who gave a crap XD

+TanzDerSchatten amazing backstory
***** Thats a great backstory too
+TanzDerSchatten Jane loves trees.
Matilda Jane's parents were among the first of the hippies, chaining themselves to trees, and imbibing the sweet smoke of some unusual botanicals.
Mary wanted to be an actress.
It didn't pan out.
She overdosed on pills alone in a rundown motel in Tennessee at the age of 27. No one remembers her.

"Here, she reenacts her first DUI." You can't eat or drink during these episodes. Man, these guys were hilarious!
"Miss Martin, Tommy drew a bong!" is my all-time favorite line from this show.
I was such a sheltered kid growing up. I could have sworn the line was "bomb" until my mid-thirties.
Yes! He said it! "The...larch." I actually had to play back that part to make sure I wasn't imagining him say it.
Tommy, Mary and Jane were later executed after Jimmy staged a bloody coup, declaring himself Posture Emperor for Life.

I can’t stop laughing at this. Everyone needs a “posture posse”. 😂
"an airplane shouldn't stand crooked"
"like daddy on friday nights"

They gave them little robes and scepters, my ribs hurt from laughing
That Bombo doll is horrifying... Did I once see him creeping around in a sewer shining lights at kids and talking about floating?
+MutantSentry Honestly, the idea that he HAS a spine is the most disturbing thing of all...
I think it's actually a Bozo doll.
"Hollow chest and tired head."
"She should just go home to bed.....green eggs and ham."
lol that part made me laugh so hard
This is one of my favorite shorts. I love the commentary.
"Okay honey I'm going to kill this tree if you don't stand straight!"
"A tree plant shouldn't bend like that!"
JOEL: "Then stop doing it!"
My favorite lines from this short.
"They're gonna take this for about a half hour before killing each other." LOL, I love Joel's dialogue
My dumb school only taught me about Math and History and English, never posture.
Oh the things you could spend class time on when you weren't being held hostage to a one size fits all standardized test... Art, creative writing, posture...
+ghostofandy What I'd like to know is, how can you maintain good posture while practicing "duck and cover"?
Hold your back flat to the bottom of the desk
I went to school in the '50s, and nobody ever mentioned posture. Mine was terrible. Fixed it with ballet in my 30's.
@@chemdance In the mid 50's I had a first grade teacher that pestered us about posture. And coloring stuff only within the lines.
Fucking love the Beavis impersonation whenever Jimmy appeared on the screen.
I remember seeing this as a child, when watching MST3K, god brings back memories, nearly chocked to death laughing
I love how the kids draw passive-aggressive pictures of how bad their partner's postures are
There is another episode, perhaps the next one after this, and they are still talking about this short. Either Crow or Servo says he wants to, "marry into posture."
Miss Martin has a hell of an expensive outfit on, for her day as an elementary school teacher.
+Flora Posteschild She's trying to catch the gym teacher's eye.
TanzDerSchatten Well she sure ain’t gonna do it with THAT hairstyle!
Also her posture is far from perfect..for shame!
Hey, Chris Chambers tried to tell us she stole the milk money and used it to buy a new outfit but no one believed him!
@@NeptuneRising70 Teddy and Vern were a couple of feebs.
I've been huntng this MSTie short for AGES!!
THANKS for sharing it!!
No wonder so many people dropped out of school back then and worked at factories.
The original poster of the video says Melissa Gilbert is in this, but she wasn't even born yet when this was made
Good attention to detail.
"My Name's Sally and I'm a shackolic"..."Hello Sally!!"
'Thank You..thank you very much I'm wearing a pantsuit"
"They go away to Burger King to get crappy hats"
"Mom's dress matches the wallpaper"
"Sorry...mom-dad"
"Fixed!!, Its Fixed!!"
LOL--Funniest Quotes in this short
They still do this, they have a website called rifftrax. they do more resent movies now.
“And you truck like the Doo-Dah Man!”
"uh sorry Mom,Dad"
"Their chances of being popular are ruined forever."
Bahahaha! So true.
Love the Monty Python reference at 2:03
It's Joel; the cutaway scene was of the Gizmonic Institute too.

Another great piece of MST3K. Man, the way those kids smile at the beginning is friggin' malicious.
Thank you, I'm wearing a lovely pantsuit
"The. . . larch." Monty Python quote ftw. I haven't laughed that hard in ages. :D
My personal favorite:
"A playground where Apes evolved from MEN?!"
...I hope somewhere, somehow, Mr. Heston got to see that (and got as big a laugh out of it as I did.)
That's when the kids come up with a plan to blackmail Mrs. Reedy!
"Just like his dad on friday night." 🤣🤣🤣
Very funny! Awesome video!! Thanks for posting!!
"Their chances of being cool are ruined for life" 😂
I would have LOVED to have those curls in 1960
"With hollowed chest and tired head."
"She should just go home to bed."
I don't know why, but that line kills me every time I hear it!
I'm in favor!! BRING BACK MST3K!!
I'M JOHNNY TRASH It's back on Netflix.
it should have won an award. we love it so much we put together a little version of it. more modern and a bit raunchy. Go MST!!!! I love it
Those kids in Miss Martin's class probably graduated from high school back in 1964. Did any of the boys in her class go off to serve in Vietnam?
What does this video have to do with Vietnam?
"It's Ernest Borgnine!" It's hard to imagine that this film was actually shown in schools during the 1950s, but it was. Incredible.
Nah, Ernest was way cuter. 😏
"He's a loser, and the kids let him know it."
"Here, she re- enacts her first DUI."
"The. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Larch!" Line from Monty Python. Love it!

Oh god, this really shouldn't have been made in the first place. I'm glad it was though, since it made for some good MST3K.
gotta love the 50's (the videos they had)
"The...larch!"
"These 4 children are especially interested in the 4 important things"
"Cause they're on the payroll" Lol.
The teacher must've went Burger King and had a Whopper for she's wearing a BK crown
he caught on fire. At the beginning, Servo says 'He's still smoldering'...
"Stand up straight -- Or I'll kill this tree!!" (Not the literal quote, but that's the gist.)
During the first broadcast I remember laughing really hard at "and truck like the doo dah man" but ya know, it was a giant champagne brunch. Don't hate.
The 'Bots were staging a "spontaneous" funny home video, and Crow was playing the part of a little girl on a stack of highly flammable pajamas.
i laughed until i cried ...i love mst3k!!!
8:27 "Who did this?!? Did _you_ do this? Who did this...WHO *_did this?!?_*
