I know there's another commercial with this "HUGH" guy (that also aired in the same recording this commercial was taken from, the 10 AM next day rerun of "Gunslinger"), but god..... I've hated this commercial since I was a kid. Just the way he..... Gets "playful" with that Comedy Central logo ball toy with his mouth has..... Always made me SUPER uncomfortable. youtu.be/7tvNoMxXgUA?si=ngTWv8CR6pg3UG5E

Also, now that Kolos has this recording uploaded (courtesy of yours truly): www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu2FOMmjxX8I can't help but wonder if Comedy Central knew what they were doing airing this "Vacant Lot" promo with a.... pretty unpleasent Van Gough ear joke with Paul during a game of Charades With this joke on Dr. F's ears at the end of the episode Context to the "Vacant Lot" promo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqkubKuJghYI actually DID discover apparently the world premiere recording was uploaded in 2011 (I think) split into 2 parts, but this recording definitely knocks it out the park..... Kolos did a beautiful job restoring it considering this is the cleanest recording on that particular tape.

So this recording (which I thank Kolos for capturing and uploading on his channel) is now officially the ONLY way I will watch "Starfighters" (if I'm REALLY in the mood): youtu.be/0L_gKzDt7-A?si=KQVS7-R5mTFxbKzVIt's a shame because this used to be one of my favorite Mike episodes to watch when I was a kid (mostly for the host segments and commercials, but I had thought the flying footage looked really nice at the time)...... Oooohhh boy does age really alter your mind greatly. Not even do I often watch this episode on my Rhino DVD copy anymore cause I find myself missing the commercials in this recording.... Like eating a burger without fries. Good riffing, funny host segments.... But GOD do I hate this movie.

Night After Night ... It's a real shame that Comedy Central unceremoniously canceled it in 92. Ah, that would be why I don't know it. I didn't get access to CC (and find MST3K) until fall of 93. I'll have to look it up youtube.

From what I know it seems like those who were lucky to get CC in 1989-1992 lived in the East Coast. I was born and raised in Massachusetts so my dad was definitely lucky to get a good handful of '92 recordings when he started taping the show during Turkey day '91.

On another note, going through all my tapes this year with the wonderful help of Kolos and seeing recordings he and other people uploaded that I don't have on tape, I was amazed with just how many Sprint commercials with Candice Bergen as spokesperson were made.

So watching Kolos's recent episode uploads of 612-614 that came from my personal collection (all from the same particular tape)....
Is it just me or does YouTube completely decompress quality? Cause if that's the case then I'm probably just gonna watch these off my mp4 QT files from now on.

YouTube takes a bat to the quality with their terrible compression. It's always been a pain.

Oy..... I swear this bogusly bot-run website only continues to age like fine milk with each passing year. It's already frustrating when sh*t ends up getting muted in your uploads (some commercials like those Tower Records commercials with songs muted has made me infuriated, but what still takes the cake is why the pre-Pick the Wisecrack bumpers with a literal f*cking voice over countdown is muted..... surely that must be in the public domain).

Have there ever been any copies of full KTMA recordings?

So I've never really been the biggest fan of "Invasion USA" (the riffing and host segments are both good, even if Mike's robot was nightmare fuel when I first saw this one as a kid, but GOD is this movie just dull to sit through), not one I really watch often because I do think there are much better episodes in season 6 ("Girls Town," "The Violent Years," "Bloodlust!," "The Creeping Terror," "The Sword and the Dragon," "The Skydivers" and "Kitten with a Whip"), but I gotta be honest.... After watching Kolos's upload of the premiere recording (I also have it on tape but 2 sets of commercials are missing unfortunately), I really find myself preferring this one with commercials, at least with the premiere recording. youtu.be/X-yndUKytVU?si=8DggOs5y5rlSlLy2This one definitely has a nice selection of commercials (Fall season in July 1994 with new shows, the AT&T apples and oranges commercial, the Tower Records roller coaster city commercial, the stop-motion sun drinking coke commercial.... Though a little off-putting as well I'll admit, ads for "Absolutely Fabulous" etc). This commercial in particular however definitely sticks out with me. I LOVE the energetic music in the background. youtu.be/rYly91S1igA?si=TK3EWQyEyRMDTNMfI do remember randomly watching the recording I have on my dad's library of Comedy Central MST tapes one Sunday afternoon when I decided to have a small MST marathon when I was 7 and was curious to see more of this one after being familiar with the short on the shorts compilation tape I posted on this thread a couple months ago and really dug the commercials on this one. But, yeah..... I know this is a PD movie but I can honestly see why this one kept getting pushed off till the very end with the second to near last DVD box set.

So I had my first annual around Christmas time tradition of watching the Mst3k shorts compilation tape my dad made around 1999 (roughly) that I shared a couple pages back, which I am still VERY grateful we got a good capture on Kolos’s Sony VCR in spite of some bad existing tape blips here and there that I can live with, but this is one thing that has really bothered me with YouTube’s quality decompression.
Does this milk-aged website just not take kindly to 480p files anymore? Cause while this is something I noticed with episode recordings of mine that he uploaded on his channel, THIS one in particular I noticed REALLY looks A LOT more pixelated in some areas.
I’m understanding this particular tape was beaten to death and it is a 2nd gen tape, but man, if this is the case, I’m SERIOUSLY uploading this onto my IA and playing it off THERE from now on.
