Yea I was starting to get disappointed with Unskippable,
I think thats because they were breaking one of the major rules of MST3Kism
Can I ask, which rule?
"If the audience doesnt know it, you dont know it"
Well its the rule of not making a joke based on something that hasnt happened yet. If you look at how the MST3K boys riff, they only do jokes about a subject if everyones seen it happen, so its like its their first time watching it. Rather than putting jokes in before hand, for example:
Say a guy is walking around a corner and is about to get hit by a hammer, the MST3K way is to say a joke after he has been hit like "Its hammertime!" rather than lead up to it by saying "Better watch out behind that corner its...(Turns Corner) hammertime!"
And yes I know bad joke but you get what im trying to say. Im not insulting you guys for doing this, because its a whole different style of comedy, its just something That MST3K does differently and in my opinion better.
But thats why Im saying I loved this episode so much because you didnt use any kind of pre-knowledge jokes, or if you did it was very subtle. To me my top 3 favorite episodes of yours have been "Dead Rising" "Grandia" and "Infinite" I think if you can do the caliber of that every episode you guys will hit it bigger than just the escapist.
Also if you disagree with me please feel free to comment, I could be completely wrong for all you know haha.
