Glory be, the lost episode was found, at a garage sale, then posted at YouTube on March 20th, 2026. What we knew - the scrapbook tape showed us Joel, Crow, and Servo gathered in the theater, and Genesis clips offered up more insights into the episode. Gypsy called Gypsum and Servo sporting the froggy voice.
For the new, there's more to riff on, extra scenes cut from the season 3 version (a flight through a black hole), being early KTMA, the quipping's thinner - however that's supplemented with visual gags (Crow tips over in his seat as a ship zips by, Tom leaves early to fill his head with neat to eat treats, and they react when a hand reaches out towards them).
Josh is the gabbiest and earns most of the laughs, and I don't believe I've seen the closing segment before, so that was an added bonus to go along with the extra footage.
Host Segments
Intro: Joel shows off his Num clucks for farm people (and mentions that he programmed bots to laugh at everything he says). Later he displays the gun that helps bank robbers communicate with the people they are robbing, as well as the chiro helmet. Joel introduces the movie and announces that it stars actual humans. Segment 1: Crow tries to clue Gypsum in on what Thanksgiving is all about. He thinks it has something to do with a green and yellow van - and Joel has to explain why the Indians ate mace. Segment 2: Crow and Tom have clothespins on their noses as part of a drug experiment. Segment 3: Gypsum now has a clothespin, and Joel explains drugs to her using psychedelic glasses, and later by rattling her head to simulate a bad trip. Closing Segment: Crow & Tom celebrate thanksgiving by wearing facial hair.
Notable Riffs
"They must have spent 10s of dollars on this" - Servo | "I'm getting kind of star sick" - Joel, during space battle | "That's from Batman, I think" - Servo, during a star wipe | "Look, an old lady on a flying bicycle?" - Servo | "He's hammered" - "No, he just saw the rest of the script" - Joel & Crow | "Ah, little cans of Budweiser" - Joel | "I always find it easier to sleep with a view master on my face" - Servo | "Missed" - Crow | "Barbara Eden must be around somewhere" - Servo | "He's a vegetable now, part of the Seizar salad" - Servo |
Stuff and Nonsense
Joel and his experiments? Num-Clucks will be revisited again during season 3, episode #322, Master Ninja I. The Chiro-Gyro earns a re-do in 103, The Corpse Vanishes.

Weird, you can hear a bit of the MST start up during the movie at around the 43 min mark.
Strange, they showed Star Force: Fugitive Alien II, Before Fugitive Alien I. Like many from KTMA, this movie will be covered again during season 3 (where they will air in order).
