I'll bet a bunch of Canadians got mad over all the Canadian jokes.
Canadians are pretty secure people, and the ones I know are comfortable with kidding themeselves. Watch "The New Red Green Show" and you'll see.
I used to watch Red Green on PBS. Canadians are generally cool. Unless they're French Canadians. Whew!
"And if the ladies don't find you handsome at least let 'em find you handy."
This was the first MST3K that I had seen after a Loooong absence, (Didn't get Comedy Central OR Sci-Fi) and I thought it was great. I must have watched this particular episode 32 times, laughing every time I heard "Rowsdower". I also liked the Larry Czonka jokes.
I had caught part of this show awhile back. Fortunately, it showed today. Unfortunately, I actually watched this whole movie.
What can you say about this Candian masterpiece? Can't get enough of guys in black tank tops carrying machetes and assault rifles. Poor skinny kid and his new friend Rowsdower (try and count how many times you hear that). Plus, the Yosemite Sam guy had me wondering what language he was speaking.
ROWSDOWER!!
This movie is unwatchable, and the misting isn't that good. However, the host segment with the anti-Canada song has to be one of the most side-splitting ever.
Oh come on, this is one of the best MST3K episodes around!
"My name's Rousedower. ZAP Rousedower."
"I accidentally cut both my wrists"
"I somehow swallowed the knife"
Oh, and the classic one...
"Hold on, I'm having a series of elaborate heart attacks! UNg!"
I love that the lighter throws off a lot more light than it should, and manages to come from about 3 feet below the lighter.
I can't believe someone on here said the riffing wasn't good in this episode. This was one of the best of the Sci-Fi years.
Anything with the Yosemite Sam guy was hilarious:
"Know him?? He was delicious!!"
Personally I thought the guy sounded more like Rolf from the Muppet Show than Yosemite Sam though.
"You knew my father?"
"Knew him? He was delicious!"
Still makes me laugh out loud!
This episode has the best riffs of any I've seen, simply because they never stop! In other movies, they just stop and watch for long stretches, but it seems like there's a new riff every few seconds in this one.

I really disagree that the riffing isn't good in this episode. I literally couldn't breathe at various points.
(On the screen after the credits)
“Seven years later.”
Tom: “Seven years after the credits?”
Auntie: “I want you to carry on with your own life.”
Crow: “Yeah, once you get one.”
Troy: “Am I like [my father]?”
Mike [as Auntie]: “No, he was masculine and likeable.”
“If you lived here, you’d be in hell by now.”
“Are you gonna be a Mountie or a fishing guide when you grow up?”
“So, Rowsdower? Is that a stupid name, or ...?”
Rowsdower: “It’s a cult.”
Tom: “They worship blue oysters.”
Rowsdower: “I’ve been around, kid.”
Tom: “And I’ve been a square kid. No ...”
The “Rowsdower? Could you put my hair out?” line, while being difficult to explain without visuals, left me actually crying with laughter.
Troy: “Look at the writing – ancient.”
Tom [as Troy]: “Old as the crumbs in your moustache.”
Rowsdower: “I like to keep my nose clean.”
Mike [as Rowsdower]: “My body suffers for it, but ...”
Troy: “Wow!”
Crow [as Troy]: “These are really cheap sets.”
Rowsdower: “Go to hell!”
Crow: “Or at least Edmonton!”
Pipper: “Don’t let the cult destroy your life too.”
Rowsdower: “It already has.”
Crow [as Rowsdower]: “Look at my hair.”
“He’s invoking the powers of Bryan Adams!”
“Oh man! That’s not a nose, that’s a duplex!”
(singing) “You’ve got mud on your face, big disgrace,
Shoving those sandwiches into your face.
Singing we will, we will ...”
We can make a bad movie just as well as our friends south of the border can.
The existence of The Peanut Butter Solution will attest to that.
