Well, I've just been checking out the Nastiest Villains In MSTied Movies thread... and right now, I'm watching Viking Women And The Sea Serpent, and getting huge laughs out of the barbarian prince on the island where the Viking Women land. I can't say if the filmmakers intended it that way or not, but the kid is such a huge pantywaist, so obviously stereotypically gay that I can't help busting out laughing every time he opens his mouth on the screen... "...but, you don't understand -- I'M A PRINCE!" B'WAHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHHH!
GRIMOLT PRINCE: Someone's coming! Leave me alone!
JOEL: I'll harm you!
So, now I'm inspired to ask... who do you think is the wussiest character in an MST3K movie?

Definitely John Forsyth's character in "Kitten With a Whip."

I vote for Jimmy Wilson in I Accuse My Parents. Goofy, doofy Mikey from Teen-Age Strangler might have the wimpiest, most snivelling manner about him; Johnny from Cheating might be the biggest pushover. But I just can't get over the fact that, when Jimmy Wilson meets Kitty for the first time at her place, the first thing he does--quite without prompting--is start blathering to her about his mother. Yeah, that's sure to win the ladies, Jimmy. Good think you liberated Paris in your spare time between writing award-winning essays.

All great picks, especially Forsythe in Kitten.
Just thinking though, now... I also think that Jerry in Killer Shrews is worth a mention. Selfish, impulsive, violent, acts like a real bad-ass, but when the chips are really down, he's a tower of jello... beats The Captain to the house and tries to lock him out, flips out and wastes ammo on a shrew's nose poking through a wall, decides to wait out the storm on the roof of a house surrounded by killer shrews... a sniveling drunken little ch!ck3nsh*t, and rock stupid to boot.

Voldar from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. He talks tough through the whole movie and does his best to kill Santa and the kids, but once he gets attacked by some wooden toys and gets laughed at he starts blubbering. He doesn't even try to defend himself.

I would say the Eye Creatures were kind of wussy.

OK, I don't know if any of these guys counts as the biggest MST3K wusses of all time, but they certainly gave us some of the wussiest moments:
1. Moon from The Beatniks. One minute he's boasting about how he's gonna cut Eddie to ribbons. The next minute he's disarmed and squealing like a colicky baby. The minute after that he's sobbing and beating up a garbage can lid.
2. Paul the Wuhrwuhlf from Warwelf. Easily punched out by random passersby on the street.
3. The Paper Chase Guy from Warrior of the Lost World. "Why are we wearing these clothes? Why are we goin' alone?" ("When do we get to eat? Why is it cold in here? I hate bats.")
4. Mickey from The Prince of Space. One minute, sneering at Wally for being scared. The next minute, screaming "PRINCE! PRINCE! HELP ME! about ten million times.

Marv from High School Big Shot. That guy is such an idiot and doesn't take a hint.

Whoever the riff "but first knee me in the groin!" was directed to.

Whoever the riff "but first knee me in the groin!" was directed to. That would be Akronus from Cave Dwellers. |

Mikey may have been a wimp, but when the chips were down he stood up for what he knew was right. He knew Jimmy didn't steal no bike! And he couldn't keep silent about it! I'll go for Winky from the Rocky Jones movies. I don't know why, either. I just hate that guy. |

For "Characters That Made No Impression At All," gotta go with Diana's fiance' in Samson Vs. The Vampire Women. He's block with a Vaseline head, who shows all the hot, passionate emotion of a concrete abutment towards his lovely intended. The only time he even smiles is when Tundra the Lady Vampire hypnotizes him (in five seconds flat, I might add) and lures him without the slightest pretense of a struggle away from Diana during her birthday party, leaving her both humiliated in front of everybody she knows and wide open to vampire attack--all this AFTER her dad has enlisted the help of the entire Mexican police force to keep her safe!
After her near abduction, the inspector proposes taking Diana to the nightclub where the vamps have been hunting to lure them out. Dad protests, but Dullard the Dipstick says not a word, either then or at said nightclub, getting out only "Oh, uh, er" when Diana queries why the inspector has been called away from their table.
Even the film realizes that this guy is a nothing and drops him flat from the final act. When Samson rescues Diana, her dad's there to take her home but Fiance' is nowhere to be found. They probably gave him some string to play with and told him to wait in the living room until they got back so he wouldn't wander off a cliff.
She's totally attracted to my hat.
