tree_talkingI'm watching "Manos": The Hands of Fate, also with the stirring conclusion to Hired, a Chevrolet salesman training film. This episode of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 is just one of the most consistently funny eps in the series.
"The Chocolate Bunny Guillotine".
"*Aagh!* Flying elves are back!"
And then there's the movie: one wonders if anyone involved in this movie ever went on to do anything else...it's bad. Very bad. But at least it's consistent in it's badness, which is what makes it consistently riffable. Even the *music* is bad. Everything screams "A fertilizer salesman from El Paso is responsible for this!" (true)
"They dissolved to the same scene..."
"Every frame of this movie looks like someone's last known photograph."
"Debbie, don't ever run away from us"
"And don't consort with the Devil!"
O Manos, thou of primal darkness..."
"It's a Moody Blues song!"
"Next on ESPN, full-contact nightgown wrestling"
"Smooooke on the wierdo..."
"The touching 'peeping Torgo' scene"
It's fun to watch these again. Wish I could watch them with all of you, but I'm so far away...*sigh*

Mary-Robin Redd was one of the wives in this film. She later played minor roles in other films, among them the "Intellectual Woman" in Airplane II and some other silly ditties like "Man Trouble".
The rest? No career. So you're mostly right.
