As a Marine Corps sergeant, Dad led his squad ashore at Tarawa under the command of Col. David Shoup. He drinks in an effort to forget the days of bloody fighting, which explains his crooked posture on Friday nights.
osture pals - GOOF At the end, when the 4 kids stand in front of the class, the 2 girls are wearing sweater jackets. 2 seconds later, the sweater jackets are gone.
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 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.
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...
"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
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 !!!
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.
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 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.)
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).
Later that night when Mary was in bed, she saw Bonbo was missing from the dresser. Terrified that Bonbo went missing, Mary looked under her bed which gave Bonbo the perfect opportunity to strangle Mary to death when she wasn’t looking. The End
Luis Reyes Uh, no. Have you seen Poltergeist? I’m not referring to the remake, but the original 1982 version. The first depiction of a scary stuffed toy clown that I remember seeing was in that movie.
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.
"Oh no, my spine! Auughhh!!!" xDD I love MST3K. And for those who're worried about Crow- Gypsy wanted to film a home movie, but the end result had Crow manage to get set on fire and become deformed.
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!"
"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.
These 50's education films can be interesting to see what people thought back then; Little boys think about sports and buildings Little girls think about acting and... trees??? … the 50's were weird...
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."
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.
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
“out of balance, just like a house about to fall”
“just like his dad on friday night”
I LOVE THIS SHOW
jacko twice fancy
The shorts are some of the funniest things about MST3K
Crow's burned-up silhouette gets me every time
He looks like Mangle when he got burnt..
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!
"You can see that this boy needs help."
"He's a loser and the kids let him know it."

+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.
"Mrs. Martin, Tommy drew a bong!"
And they'll go to Burger King and get crappy hats.
CraftyLittleDevil
Lol 👍🙂🤣😃😄
I was well into my twenties before I realized they were saying "bong", not "bomb". Dear God, I had a sheltered childhood.
"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
osture pals - GOOF
At the end, when the 4 kids stand in front of the class, the 2 girls are wearing sweater jackets. 2 seconds later, the sweater jackets are gone.
+Shuttitt Uppitt illuminati confirmed
"It's Hitchcock!"
"After Slimfast."
*cue Death March of a Marionette*
YUSS!
I mean Funeral March, this isn't the Philippines. :P
"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.
No wonder so many people dropped out of school back then and worked at factories.
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.

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.
Great short, thanks for posting.
"Here, she reenacts her first DUI." You can't eat or drink during these episodes. Man, these guys were hilarious!
"Hollow chest and tired head."
"She should just go home to bed.....green eggs and ham."
lol that part made me laugh so hard
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.
I'll always love MST3K. This show never failed to make me crack up.
"The story you are about to see is true. No names were changed, because NO ONE was innocent!"
"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
Thank you, I'm wearing a lovely pantsuit
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.
They gave them little robes and scepters, my ribs hurt from laughing
7:59 I laughed so hard, I almost died.
"an airplane shouldn't stand crooked"
"like daddy on friday nights"
"They're gonna take this for about a half hour before killing each other." LOL, I love Joel's dialogue
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.
"Their chances of being popular are ruined forever."
Bahahaha! So true.
I can’t stop laughing at this. Everyone needs a “posture posse”. 😂
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 !!!
I remember seeing this as a child, when watching MST3K, god brings back memories, nearly chocked to death laughing
Princess of posture? Can you put that on your resume?
"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. 😏
Mary looks so 19th century.
"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!
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.

"uh sorry Mom,Dad"

"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.)
This is one of my favorite shorts. I love the commentary.

"The. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Larch!" Line from Monty Python. Love it!
I love how the kids draw passive-aggressive pictures of how bad their partner's postures are
"The...larch!"
"Oh sorry mom-dad"
classic.
They're disgusted and filled with self loathing.
"These 4 children are especially interested in the 4 important things"
"Cause they're on the payroll" Lol.
Mom is Earnest Borgnine
Thanks momdad
"He's a loser, and the kids let him know it."
"Here, she re- enacts her first DUI."
"They're the Posture Posse!"
Mary's mother looks like John Wayne in drag.
+Adamguy2003 It gives you an idea of what Mary's going to look like in her middle years, unless she takes after a distant relative somewhere.
Adamguy2003 I don't think that's Mary's biological mother. They don't look a thing alike.
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.
Sheesh the Sixties can't get here fast enough
Later that night when Mary was in bed, she saw Bonbo was missing from the dresser. Terrified that Bonbo went missing, Mary looked under her bed which gave Bonbo the perfect opportunity to strangle Mary to death when she wasn’t looking. The End

Luis Reyes Uh, no. Have you seen Poltergeist? I’m not referring to the remake, but the original 1982 version. The first depiction of a scary stuffed toy clown that I remember seeing was in that movie.
"Then, Mary's head is set on fire."
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.
"And what gives Jane her worried frown?"
"Valium?"
"Oh no, my spine! Auughhh!!!" xDD I love MST3K. And for those who're worried about Crow- Gypsy wanted to film a home movie, but the end result had Crow manage to get set on fire and become deformed.
"She's weird, which results in creativity." :D
6:53 -- The four food groups of the Fifties: eggs, bread, sugar, and liquor.

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!"
Fucking love the Beavis impersonation whenever Jimmy appeared on the screen.
gotta love the 50's (the videos they had)
6:46 "SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!" one of my all time favorites
"Jane loves trees." ............ o.O
Ms Martin has too much time on her hands.
"Your body is like a tree."
"With Dutch Elm Disease!"
"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.
And you truck in like the DoDa man.
Why is this so funny?!
Christie Perry It's an R. Crumb reference for the baby boomers in the audience.
@@luisreyes1963 thanks I was about ready to Google it
I legit said this today at my uncle's funeral. It was that moment of laughter we needed.
Luis Reyes Grateful Dead, actually.
Being the posture king has got to look good on a resume
8:54 I can't believe I said the same exact thing with them. And this is the first time I saw this episode. XD
8:00 Oh, god, no, put the clown head back down, it looks a thousand times creepier now! 8(
Soon, Bombo's eyes will glow red like hot coals...😈
These 50's education films can be interesting to see what people thought back then;
Little boys think about sports and buildings
Little girls think about acting and... trees???
… the 50's were weird...
i miss these guys.
"Miss Martin, Tommy drew a bong!"
I've been huntng this MSTie short for AGES!!
THANKS for sharing it!!
"Just like a house about to fall."
"Just like his dad on Friday night!"
Hilarious stuff!
MY SPINE!!! AHHHHHHH!!!
No, no my SPINE!
CR-CR-ACK!
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."
7:59 R.I.P. Bombo the happy, and unironic clown.
"Their chances of being cool are ruined for life" 😂
"He's got VPL"
3:31 What's up with Servo loudly whispering "Joel!!" in a lot of shorts and I think movies around this time in the show? Is it referencing something?
ebmosier1 I think he’s just pretending to be shocked at Joel’s comments.
"With hollow chest and tired head,
She should just go home to bed!" LMAO xD
"He's leaning backward and out of balance, like a house about to fall."
"Just like his dad on a Friday night."
he caught on fire. At the beginning, Servo says 'He's still smoldering'...
The posture royal family was later forced to sign the Magna Posture...
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
(Crow)>>no place like home>(4:31 Joel whispers faintly)>it's cloven
"Tommy drew a bong!"
i laughed until i cried ...i love mst3k!!!
"Next week Posture Pals in COLOUR......can we go now?"
If it wasn't for my posture pals I never would have become the posture prince of my school.
Another great piece of MST3K. Man, the way those kids smile at the beginning is friggin' malicious.
The original poster of the video says Melissa Gilbert is in this, but she wasn't even born yet when this was made
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.
