"Is Somebody Filming a Bad Movie Out Here?" Quiz

Answer: Think that everything Joel does is brilliant.

They praise everything he says, and Crow even nuzzles him. Joel starts to have second thoughts about their sycophantic behavior and removes the modules after the commercial break.

Answer: They're voiced by the same guy.

"That was just one guy doing all those voices." Indeed, he's likely correct--the cameras used on "Manos" could not record sound, so all the voices were dubbed by just a few people. Oddly, there's a flash of a clapperboard at the start of one scene, even though there's no need for one if the camera can't pick up sound.

Answer: He forgets to stop the background scenery.

They've been recreating the boring opening of the film by running the driving footage while pretending to drive. Cambot forgets to stop the footage when Gypsy pulls them over. Despite having seen only a few minutes of the movie, Crow and Tom break down crying over how terrible it is. The Mads even call twice to apologize for showing such a horrible movie.

Answer: A vacant lot

It was actually filmed in El Paso. Joel adds that every frame "looks like someone's last known photograph" and that it was also filmed in "Spooner, Wisconsin". "MST3K" includes many Wisconsin jokes throughout its run. Other episodes with Wisconsin references are "Catalina Caper", "Cave Dwellers", "The Girl in Lovers Lane", and "The Giant Spider Invasion", the last of which contains a whole slew of them.

Answer: Behind the scenes of "Arabian Nights".

The scene goes on for so long that they guess that this fight is why the movie was made. Like many scenes in the movie, it lasts too long and little to nothing of importance happens.

Answer: "Do something!"

And this is after they've already done some riffing! The jokes include a callback to "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" with the line "Torgo, you're the laziest man on Mars." The "Tempo" line is said by Crow in "Cave Dwellers" in response to the slow manner in which the actors deliver their lines.

Answer: Joel and Gypsy

Joel dresses as the Master, except with foot prints on his robe instead of hand prints, in the third host segment. The bots say that he's not convincing as an evil person. In the post-movie skit, Tom and Crow wear the wives' dresses while Gypsy dons the Master's clothes.

Answer: "Please tell me this isn't happening."

This line comes from the short "Here Comes the Circus" in response to some rather interesting clown acrobatics. When the "Manos" title appears again during the end credits, they start to panic because "it's starting over!"

Answer: One of the women in the car

Sensing another long, dull driving scene, Tom makes it better by rambling on about vacations, dieting, and singing. Joel looks at Crow and does the "crazy" finger twirl near his head. The Master's dog is targeted for riffing in the previous scene when the camera holds in him for so long that Crow suggests that the dog needs a cue card to remember to bark.

Answer: Pizza

Frank had to call Torgo's Pizza instead of Togo's Pizza. Mike Nelson plays Torgo; he mimics Torgo's strange ways of walking and talking, and Frank looks like he's trying not to laugh. DVD outtakes show everyone cracking up while filming the scene.
