It's one of my favorites. With about 9 performances it's basically a musical. The riffing is great and it's icky without being boring.

I've got several, there's no way I could get it down to one: "My annaconda don't want none, unless it's got buns hun" "Ladies and gentlemen, Leslie Bore" "Watch as she walks around" "That's testing the tensile strength of the duct tape" |

"Bring out the Nazi's!"
"You're not funny! You're not a woman!"
"Whoa, saw the little sizzler there, Hank."
"Take off your clothes! Take off your hair!"
Man, I gotta watch this episode now.

I really don't understand why it is so polarizing. Let me help you understand.  The riffing might be great. The host segments may be great. However, the film is nauseating. Literally. I mean I get queasy watching it. The camera constantly shakes, the angles are dizzying, the characters are offensive, the settings are nasty, and it's altogether "vile and ugly". Watching the film makes me feel like my soul is getting covered in excrement. As a MSTie, I love bad filmmaking. The worse the film, the better for MSTing. But there's a difference between unwatchable-bad and unwatchable-sickening. |

I feel that way about Devil Fish. I can watch it as long as I avoid eating for 24 hours before viewing it.

That's how I feel about "The Brute Man," whether the old man & his "Creeper" talk is ROTFLMAO funny or not. I guess we all have one or more nauseous episodes. (Why am I thinking of ipecacs right now?)
As far as my favorite musical riff in TISCWSLABMUZ, it's the more sublime things, like launching into "Silent Night" during the beginning of the first big musical number.

I don't think 30 seconds goes by without them saying something funny. Hard to pick one remark out.

Watching the film makes me feel like my soul is getting covered in excrement. Yes that a good estimation of it. The movie has a yellow, dingy look about it like a book that's been peed on. It doesn't help that this Ray Dennis Steckler is homely as hell. The man's a fathead to think anyone would want to watch him as a lead character. |

But there's a difference between unwatchable-bad and unwatchable-sickening. I agree with you there, it's pretty hard to stomach. I'm trying to remember the first time or two that I saw it and I think I recall feeling the same way. It probably would be less hard on the eyes if it had been filmed in B&W. For me, I guess I just saw it at the right time or something. However disgusted I felt by the actual movie, lines like "nothing runs like a Bulgarian car" saved it fo rme. There are several episodes that I always had a rough time sitting through because of the movie, I hear ya. |

Still if I had to, had to mind you, I'd still rather sit through an unMSTed TISCWSLABMUZ than Hobgoblins.

I LOVE TISCWSLABUMUZ. It's one of my favorites because the riffing's so dead on through the whole thing. I never found the movie unwatchable in the "making me sick" way. Ridiculous and pretentious, of course, but not unwatchable. And Ray Dennis Steckler is hardly the only guy who wrote himself a lead role when he realized the world wasn't going to deliver one to him (Natalie from Soultaker, I'm looking at you.) I especially loved the dream sequence--such a perfect example of over the top, I-took-my-freshman-year-art-course-too-seriously glop. Hee hee!
It's the mobius strip of music, it begins nowhere and comes from nowhere!

Phyllis is always so dead on...I'm glad this ep may have an opportunity to get some new fans.
It's so sickeningly wonderful and funny.
Did you guys know the mannish looking woman dancing with the gay nazi in cabaret like sequence is Steckler's wife (saw in an interview where he raved about how beautiful she was and how lucky a geek like him was to catch her)?
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to dig out an eye booger.
Hey look there in the back....a Polish cleaning lady!
