This was a quick PSA featuring Mike and the Bots for the Will Rogers Institute that would have played in movie theaters during 1994. I was inspired a PSA for the Will Rogers Institute featuring the Bundys ("Married... with Children" for those who don't know) and some of the narrator's lines are taken right from that PSA. So I figured, why not do a PSA with the MST crew?
It should noted that unlike MST3K:TM, this is filmed on the standard season 5 MST3K set. It also marks the only time Cambot will interact with the rest of the SOL crew, while Dr. F and TV's Frank do not appear at all.

MIKE NELSON is looking at a newspaper
MIKE
Oh, hi, everybody, welcome to the Satellite of Love. I’m Mike Nelson and I’m looking for a movie that I and the bots can watch tonight.
CROW T. ROBOT and TOM SERVO run in
CROW
Mike, can we please go see Road House? Please?
MIKE
Crow, the Mads only let us pick the movie we watch once in a blue moon, we have to make it worth while.
NARRATOR
Excuse me…
CROW and SERVO scream, SERVO falls off the platform
CROW
Who… who are you?
NARRATOR
I’m here to tell you about a very special cause.
SERVO rises up and gets back on platform
MIKE
All right, let’s hear about your very special cause.
NARRATOR
Do any of you know what the Will Rogers Institute is?
CROW
Isn’t that a museum in Washington?
MIKE
No, that’s the Smithsonian Institution, Crow.
CROW
Close enough.
NARRATOR
Well, the institute was inspired by the great humanitarian Will Rogers.
CROW
Wait, isn’t he an actor is those Western movies?
SERVO
No, that’s Roy Rogers, you idiot.
NARRATOR
And for over 50 years, has been dedicated to health education and research.
SERVO
And why are you telling us all this? We don’t work there.
NARRATOR
Well, the major source of money comes from American movie-goers during our annual fund drive in theaters across the country.
CROW
I think I know what he wants us to do, he wants us to…
NARRATOR
That’s when people like you pass a can like this.
A red can is thrown onto the set, Mike catches it.
MIKE
But what are we supposed to do with it?
GYPSY enters
GYPSY
Maybe there’s soda in that can.
NARRATOR
Well, you put your donations of money in there. Over the years, that money has helped make tuberculosis a thing of the past. And last year, more than $1 million of audience donations went directly to fund vital medical research.
CROW (clearly sounding like his lying)
Yeah, but our only problem is that… uh… Cambot has all our money and he can’t get the money out, he has no pockets!
CAMBOT enters and dollar bills come out of the top of his head
SERVO
Yeah, no pockets, Crow T. Liar.
NARRATOR
Well, Mr. Robot, realize this money is going towards research for pulmonary disease and Alzheimer’s and our most serious challenge, AIDS. We also have a free education program to benefit the public.
MIKE
Well, you can count me in.
MIKE puts a $10 bill in the can.
SERVO
Well, if it’s helping people, I don’t see why not.
SERVO picks up another $10 bill in puts it in the can.
GYPSY
For Richard Basehart!
MIKE
I’ll put a $10 bill in there for you, Gypsy. And you, too, Cambot.
CAMBOT
Thanks Mike!
MIKE puts a $20 bill in the can for Gypsy and Cambot.
MIKE, GYPSY, SERVO and CAMBOT (in unison)
Crooooow?
CROW (singing)
If your wonder how he eats and breaths and other science facts.
MIKE slaps crow over the head
CROW
All right, I’ll put some money in!
CROW puts a $1 dollar bill in the can
SERVO
Cheapskate…
CROW
What?
The Will Rogers Institute logo appears
NARRATOR
Watch out for the can as it comes your way or look for it in the lobby as you exit.
We cut back to the Satellite of Love Bridge
SERVO
Yeah, and make sure you donate more than this little loser did.
CROW
What?
The Movie Sign lights go off
MIKE
We got movie sign!
Everybody runs off camera and we go through the Mike-era door sequence leading to the green “This preview has been approved for ALL AUDIENCES” screen, starting the trailers.
