1:24:12 "How was your birthday? Did you have a party?" "Yeah. And my fish and dog died, Dad's girlfriend disappeared with no explanation, and now he's acting all paranoid ... Can I open my present now?"
@@angbandsbane Nah, the second story (and the intro with the drunk fortune teller) is actually a recut of an older horror film, "The Devil's Gift". In *that* movie, the monkey devil possesses the girlfriend and ultimately blows the house up, killing Michael and his family. Those scenes were removed when turning "The Devil's Gift" into "Merlin's Shop".
What the hell was wrong with this director, you can’t just take a violent and pull no punches horror movie and make it a segment of a kids film, what’s next is he gonna cut down Texas Chainsaw Massacre and put it in a film about The Easter Bunny?
Mr Critical I have a much bigger problem with the first half of the film. It was made specifically for this “kid-friendly” film, and contains such _whimsical_ elements as infertility, rapid aging and the face of Satan himself,
Nicholas is completely justified in wandering off when his Mom is in the middle of ignoring him in favor of a deeply awkward conversation about marital problems and infertility.
The whole concept of Merlin the great and powerful sorcerer moving to America to give up magic and open a knickknack shop is so utterly ridiculous to me.
It'd make a good d&d plotline. A wizard who wants to get people interested in magic again, but really he just wants to cause a surge of wild magic to see what'll happen
There was a _VERY_ short-lived sitcom based on a similar premise. "Merlin Lives Next Door" I think it was called. Same basic premise: cash in on the name _every damned episode_ while giving the viewers absolutely nothing each episode.
Say what you will, but Ernest Borgnine's children's book, "Dr. Blood's Orgy of Gore" is now part of the Little Golden Books collection alongside works like the classic, "The Monster at the End of this Book"
No way, I was in this movie too! I was the grandson Ernest Borgnine tells the story to. Also, my little sister was actually the baby that the guy turns into, so I think you were holding her while trying to get her to smile at the camera. I remember the director being a pretty nice guy, and having fun during filming, although I was just a kid. I saw the MST3K version in high school, and thought it was hilarious! Do you like their commentary?
So, on top of not having a second source of income to for the two-story house, the woman in the first story now has to buy diapers, formula, baby clothes, a child seat for her car, _and_ she has to pay for the queen-sized hole in her bedroom floor… That's a pretty shitty ending Grandpa Borgnine.
Reminds of the Eagles' "take it to the limit one more time take it to the limit one more time take it to the limit one more time take it to the limit one more time take it to the limit one more time take it to the limit one more time take it to the limit one more time take it to the limit one more time"
Terrible film, but you gotta love when David is being told by the pissed-off "psychic" to get rid of the toy, but not to "let it KNOW you're trying to get rid of it." So, he begins cleaning his living room, trying to knock the monkey into a trash bag while whistling ("Do da do do da. Not thinkin' about demons No demons").
The basic idea wasn't that bad. The problem was the irrelevant long intro and irrelevant second story, and the inability to decide what the mood of the movie really is supposed to be.
As a kid, I guess I didn't watch this show enough, but now I'm going back and watching all the episodes and love them. Big fan of it! Thanks for posting.
I think what I love most about this episode is how it's supposed to whimsical and delightful but only succeeds in being disturbing. Even the supposedly "innocent" moments are creepy in a totally unintentional way.
“Well, son. If you hold the lid open we’ll bury her at sea....” Gets me every time. I had many a sea burial with fishy friends. One time I DID get a garden burial with a better loved fish. When we went to bury it my dad started with, “We are gathered here to remember Sammy....” As a kid I turned to him and said, “Dad, he’s just a fish.” I think he was more upset about it than I was. Had that fish for four years. R.I.P Sammy the Pleco.
The toy monkey is actually an allegory for the whole movie itself. Under the bright and friendly exterior lies a narrative rife with the suffering of innocents at the hands of ultimate evil, meant to bring despair to all who come in contact. Quite fascinating. Too bad this movie also sucks.
God bless ya, Ernest Borgnine! (1917-2012) My fondest memories were seeing him in "Airwolf," "The Single Guy," & his guest appearance on "The Simpsons."
There's _nothing_ irrational about how angry that child's line delivery makes me xD . If it's not all mumbled and impossible to hear, then it's just completely incorrect. He was probably the son of one of the producers or something.

I feel sorry for the actor playing Merlin, he legitimately plays the role well and brings a sense of wonder to every line he delivers, I absolutely adore his performance.... Too bad it was wasted on something highly inappropriate for the age group it was marketed to.
I joke that this movie manifested my dog, when I watched it I thought Sparkle was a really cute name and the dog was pretty, I thought "if I had a dog I'd want one like that and I'd name it Sparkle". Never had a dog before so it was only a passing thought, but a month or two later a similar brown and white puppy shows up at our house (realistically was dumped 😥). Considered the name Sparkle without realizing why at first but chose a different name, but I want to thank Merlin, mst3k, and the uploader for magically speaking the best doggo into existence lol
It makes me so indescribably happy that almost every episode of MST3K is available on UA-cam.

Merlin went from being King Arthur's right-hand man to a curio store owner.
Great career move!
I feel sorry for the actor playing Merlin, he legitimately plays the role well and brings a sense of wonder to every line he delivers, I absolutely adore his performance....
Too bad it was wasted on something highly inappropriate for the age group it was marketed to.
Borgnine was a great actor.
Apparently the Merlin actor was completely unaware of what the movie really was like the poor bastard
@@mrcritical6751 That sadly tracks.
I'm going to hit the mystical can.
I joke that this movie manifested my dog, when I watched it I thought Sparkle was a really cute name and the dog was pretty, I thought "if I had a dog I'd want one like that and I'd name it Sparkle". Never had a dog before so it was only a passing thought, but a month or two later a similar brown and white puppy shows up at our house (realistically was dumped 😥). Considered the name Sparkle without realizing why at first but chose a different name, but I want to thank Merlin, mst3k, and the uploader for magically speaking the best doggo into existence lol
RIP Ernest Borgnine. My uncle tried to blackmail him in the 1970s....went to jail for it too. Dumb plan no one wanted toilet cam pics of Ernie.
The "you're welcome" gag gets me every time!
This is actually my first episode of MST3K and, I gotta say, these guys are pretty funny!
I laughed for an hour and a half thank you, I need these classics after hard days work
RIP Ernest...
I gotta go! They just got Barb Wire at Blockbuster!
"Tell the other monkey percussionists I love them..." that shit cracks me up every time!😄
