Illustrates perfectly just how good this show got by season 3. The best lines from episode 314 are gone and replaced, often, by silence. You get a few scattered chuckles, and this version doesn't have the bad edits so you can follow the story better. Still, unlike KTMA's version of "Gamera vs Gaos" where we get a pretty funny running gag about GrandpaCow mooing, this experiment doesn't offer up anything noteworthy or different to distinguish it. Stick with season three's Mighty Jack, K14's for the die-hard curious only.
Of Note: During the first theater segment, Joel announces that there will be a newsletter published in 2 weeks. Sampo wrote in his episode guide notes at Satellite News, that Crow mentions the name Frank Conniff (He notes his resemblance to the reporter in the film).
Intro: Larry wonders if he and Clay are actually "Mad" or just angry. Dr F plays with a Mr. Potato Head. Segment 1: The Bots have welded themselves together, but Joel doesn't think it's funny. They return in women's clothing, "Now that's funny!" shouts Joel. Segment 2: Crow and Servo watch "Punky Brewster" and contemplate the nature of humor. Segment 3: Crow's bowling, Joel wants to play murderball but the Bots refuse. End: Viewer mail is read. One heaps praise on Servo "Must be a typo" says Mr. T Robot. While another loves Crow. A third letter includes a photo of AMY: The Magnificent Pagan She-Beast. No Stinger: But if I chose one... Atari turns towards Jerry; who looks away sheepishly, like a guilty lover.
Notable Riffs
"They're playing games with Mr. Atari" - Crow / "He vanished without a trace" - "Look up" - Lady in red/Servo / "My God! It's a micro screen razor!" - Servo / "Quick, my gun sock!" - Crow / "And I already used everything in my Mighty Jacket" - Servo as Atari / "They dubbed his fingers" - Crow / "So that cat is going to have to take the rap for this whole thing?" - Joel
Stuff and Nonsense
* When Crow drops his Dots; Servo retrieves them, gets sticky from the floor, and says... "This gives me an idea for a Halloween costume". Josh is referring to a bit from Joel's stand-up act where he used candy wrappers and silly string to make a 'floor of a theater' costume. This bit will show up in show #212, Godzilla vs Megalon.
