Wow, did this movie hurt! I don't know how the Brains watched it multiple times.
Were the producers of this piece of tripe on drugs? Nothing makes any sense! I could make a better movie by randomly editing together clips from C-SPAN and the Weather Channel!
In fact, in the Amazing Colossal Episode Guide, they tell us that "a narrator assures us that the random bits of film we are seeing" is a movie(I only did that cause I couldn't remember exactly what was said and I didn't have the guide handy) so, in a way, the Brains think that that's what they did! :-)

I'm tempted to hit the record button on my VCR and flip randomly through the channels, trying to make a better movie.
More like No Monster a Slow Slow...
I thought that was Lurch for a second...
it was very true to life, there were scientists and they are VERY VERY boring!!
All that trouble to suit up for a sewer romp
“Circus on Ice” Short
Tom (singing, on seeing the Candyfloss Twins): “These two girls, they make quite a pair. They both come from your worst nightmare.”
Joel: “You know, you guys, there’s nothing sadder than a gut-shot fawn ... on ice.”
Crow (as kid in the audience): “Oh, Mom, I don’t wanna be at the Circus on Ice any more! I wanna go home!”
Tom (as kid’s mother): “Shut up and watch the deer get slaughtered – it’s fun!”
Joel: “She skates over her own intestines.”
Crow: “And now a clown will deliver her eulogy!”
Narrator: “Individual artistry is blended into brilliant choreography.”
Crow: “On Broadway, but not here.”
Narrator: “It all adds up to split-second artistry.”
Tom: “At the Civic Centre, but not here.”
Narrator: “The syncopated rhythm of the dance ...”
Crow: “... is not working tonight.”
Narrator: “All the colour and pageantry of a stage review ...”
Tom: “... is missing.”
Crow: “The only consolation is that they’re all dead now!”
Main movie
The helicopter pilot’s transmission is garbled
Crow: “Take the kazoo out of your mouth!” Tom: “They’re talking to Charlie Brown’s mom!”
Narrator: “Without question this was the capsule that had put Douglas into orbit.”
Tom: “Douglas was pear-shaped, very short and stood the whole way.”
Carl: “Nobody hopes for a miracle more than I.”
Tom: “The Pope does.”
Carl: “It’s a strange feeling working three years with a man you’ve never met.”
Crow: “He must be talking about his agent.”
Examining the third body
Carl: “He looks worse than the others.”
Joel: “He started out worse than the others!”
“Hey, could somebody get the cat off the Fender Rhodes, please?”
General: “Washington called.”
Tom: “He did?!”
General: “Douglas was at the house. It was like shooting a wall.”
Tom: “Not a very big wall.”
“So, why’d you bring the leaf blower, Walt?”
Soldier (indistinctly): “He’s passed.”
Joel: “He’s pants?”
Soldier: “Is there another way in?”
Joel: “To your pants?”
Narrator: “There is one terrifying word in the world of nuclear physics.”
Tom: “‘Oops’.”
Narrator: “As if a switch had been turned, as if an eye had been blinked ...”
Tom: “As if we cared.”
Narrator: “There was no giant, no monster, no thing called Douglas.”
Crow: “There was no dignity for anyone who worked on this film.”
“This was a test. Had this been an actual movie, you would have been entertained.”
Having fun watching MST3K, Callie?
Seriously, I'm laughing at these quotes, which I should not be doing at work. Thanks for the laugh, I needed it today.
I'm off work with a bad back, and given the choice between British daytime television and firing up the DVD player, Merat ... well, there's no contest!
Only trouble is, I'm not sure whether the hysterical laughter is good for me or not. The "oops" line listed above had me crying with laughter for about five minutes. Still, maybe all the jolting is good exercise for my back!
Ohhhh, bad backs are no fun. I threw my back out once while cleaning the garage and spent the weekend on a couch out there watching nearly every Inspector Morse episode. Normally, I'd say laughter was good medicine, but not in the case of bad backs or injured ribs, no.... Hope you feel better!
"This picture could set our space program back at least fifty years!"
-Quote attributed to N.A.S.A. on original playbills for Monster-a-Go-Go
Didn't they run out of money, halfway through production, which shut this movie down for about two years?
And what was up with that title!?
