"Teenage Hoodlums from Another World on a Horrendous Ray-Gun Rampage!" "Before...A Beautiful Girl. One Moment Later...A Skeleton!" Despite the ad lines, the titular teenagers number only two, and one of them is the milquetoast "Derek." Their mission: to prepare Earth for the coming of their lifestock, which naturally take the form of gigantic lobsters. It's a good episode!

"You can be too rich and too thin!" One of my favorite MST3K LINES.

...which is why I've dedicated myself to be neither. But I digress.

Teenagers. Aliens. Two great tastes that together taste... well, perfect for ridicule by robots...

I will be there with bells on. (I still have the sleigh bells I wore during my fraternity hazing.)

Please take off the bells, the ringing is bothering the neighbors.

I love this one. I still find myself saying "Give me that beard!" when especially fake-looking facial hair is on screen.

My most favorite episode! Disney World's Atomic Cafe played clips from this and I was crestfallen to see it without Joel and the bots.
