Mr. Lobo says he got a "Cease and Desist" call from Joel.

Huh. I can't watch the video now, but... that seems like a pretty direct rip-off of MST3K. Is he, like, claiming to be Servo's brother or something?
-EDIT-
Wow, yeah... I could finally watch the video. That's... one of the most blatant imitations I've ever seen. Same song, right down to having a moment for a robot roll-call even without robots... Like, that clip would be fine as, say, a parody song in a single episode of another horror host show, but it looks like they're straight-up taking the entire premise, not even trying to hide that Servo is, well... Servo.

Context is everything, I think. If it's a one-off tribute, it's charming.

Indeed. I've done a little more digging, and it appears to be just a single segment from a typical Horror Host-style show like Svengoulie.
Having said that, if the show regularly uses a Tom Servo puppet and just calls it Larry, well... that's another issue.

Its one off. I consider it a tribute. Mr Lobo is pretty funny doing his own thing.

I did run into Mr. Lobo during Blobfest last year at his table. Bought a button from him.

I support OSI 74 (his Roku channel) at Panteon. Ten bucks per month is all I can afford but I feel like I get at least that much enjoyment out the channel.
