Reply 1988: (aka Answer Me 1988) Eungdabhara 1988 Season 1, Ep 0

Mystery Science Theater 3000: MUNCHIE Season 13, Ep 4

Munchie!" a kid beset by bullies and the school principal (who hates him for some reason) opens a mysterious box and inside is a dead-faced animatronic puppet with the voice of Dom DeLuise.

Reputedly this was a very difficult movie for the MST guys to write for.
