Cool safety mech

#Monsterdon

So anyway, I started laserblasting

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon dried Dalek's ballsack looking necklace.

yeah that's a normal response

#Monsterdon

Yes, this is how one scientifically goes about reverse engineering a device of unknown origin. #monsterdon #laserblast

I'm surprised the first thing he shot wasn't his van.

#monsterdon

oh great he's the motherfucker starting all the wildfires
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon "finally! the accent piece i've been looking for to complete this bare-chested open-shirt look"

Wait, isn't he kneeling exactly where that bottle was? About to blast off a kneecap #Monsterdon

The assholes' ride sounds like shit. The nerd is shit, but at least he's not Anthony Michael Hall.

#monsterdon #laserblast

pow pa pow. :/ #monsterdon

It's not "pow pow pow" kid it's pew pew pew! #Monsterdon

When you hold the weapon the wrong way.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

(whispers) pow pow pow #Monsterdon

This was before Pew-Pew was invented. You had to get by with Pow!, which lets face it kind of sucks.

#Monsterdon

Hey kid! Stop that. You'll shoot your eye out with the Red Rider Space Gun.
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

"...what's my character's motivation in the scene?"
"I don't know, man. Just dance around with the laser blaster."

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

FX guy? Are you gonna wake up? We are rolling and stuff....

Guys?
.

.

Oh, there we go.

#monsterdon

Lonely and depressed white boy immediately starts thinking about shooting up the area. Not good #Monsterdon

Billy is a simple fuck, isn’t he? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🎵 if i had a laser
i'd blast it in the morning
i'd blast it in the evening
all over this land 🎵

The blaster needs the user to have an AirTag on I guess #monsterdon

I did not have exploding Coke bottle on my (non-existent) bingo card.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

#Monsterdon Just drives up to the alien artifact. Prince Valium is excited by unexpected bottle failure. Aaaand now the most anhedonic late teen gets… a damaged high power alien artifact. I want him to Spock melt to mush.

laser blast count: 5

#monsterdon

Billy pretending to fire this gun directly into the camera while staring down the barrel of the lens is great

#Monsterdon

gadget from Laserblast vs gadget from He-Man. Who'd win? #monsterdon

That's an odd looking catalytic converter. #Monsterdon

@paco Because hiring a 50 year old to play a teen is wild. #monsterdon

#monsterdon for the love of all that is sacred, BUTTON YOUR BLOODY SHIRT!

We're short on footage so let's film the kid dancing with the gun in the desert for 20 minutes. #Monsterdon #Laserblast

Introducing, desert trash!

#monsterdon #Laserblast #mst3k

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

I appreciate that the laser blaster is childproofed or whatever

First thought. It's a missile launcher

#monsterdon

More to the point, does he show any evidence of caring whether he's holding the gun backwards

#Monsterdon

is this guy like 6 or something? lmao
#monsterdon

@strangefour - Wasnt he in War Games?! #monsterdon

YAY THE TITULAR LASER BLAST

#Monsterdon

Drag race?! But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters! #monsterdon

Feed it a bit of gas, dude; it's got some life it just aint catching
#Monsterdon

Ya see, you place it on your arm, then pump it, and it enlarges your forearm. #Monsterdon

Sometimes I think I'm immune to marketing, but here I am thinking a glass bottle coke would hit the spot right now. #monsterdon

Alien time, right‽
Right?
#monsterdon

A giant electronic KAZOO!

#monsterdon

is he holding the gun backwards

#Monsterdon

Protag throws bottle
Bottle hits ground and immediately explodes in laserblast
[beat]
Protag walks directly to where explosion occurred and gets as close as possible

#Monsterdon

huh. there's no safety on that thing, obviously? #monsterdon

owning a chevy van is the leading cause of the male lonliness epidemic

#monsterdon

When the nerds show you up, that's when you know it's time for some revenge
#Monsterdon #LaserBlast

Meanwhile on the set of Beast of Yuca Flats... scrub land and sand. I hate sand. It's coarse.
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

When you litter in this universe, you get threatened with combustion. I love it!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

yo that thing got some mondo heat sinks

checks out if they want it to be a high power laser, lotta heat with that

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The Amazing Spiderman(2012) (and Spiderman 2)- just as good movies as Laserblast, according to Leonard Maltin.

Ope, skip a skit! 😅 #mst3k

#monsterdon #Laserblast

#monsterdon If I was a squishy lizard alien chasing after a greenskined fugitive, I'd probably take the fugitive's gun with me when I left.

laser blast count: 4

#monsterdon

When the ground is so hot from global warming that your glass litter explodes on impact

#Monsterdon

This film's a bit like I Accuse My Parents in that it desperately wants you to see the main character as a decent kid who is put upon by his circumstances, but actually *shows us* an obnoxious loser who mostly creates his own problems.

#Monsterdon

oh dang, a metal detector!

#monsterdon #laserblast

Why didn't the turtlemans take the laser with them? Not enough bucks in the stop-motion budget. #monsterdon #laserblast

It's time to pew pew lasers?

#Monsterdon

I guess that's why they changed the Coca Cola recipe. #Monsterdon #laserblast

Eddie Deezen in another #Monsterdon! He should be on the bingo card at this point lol!

OH! A laser blast!

#monsterdon #laserblast

Lol I forgot Billy's van's custom paint job of three poorly painted feet

#Monsterdon

the van doesn't like to run, so we're gonna roll out into the desert for no reason whatsoever, obviously! #monsterdon

froggy and the other guy have serious small dick energy

#Monsterdon

If you just watched movies, you'd get the impression that no internal combustion engine started, ever

#Monsterdon

@jgamble It's pretty far toward the right of the curve (https://xkcd.com/653/) but yeah

#Monsterdon

This is oddly cast. #Monsterdon

Yes! Exploding Coke bottle!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

[coke bottle lands] The gods must be crazy!

#monsterdon #laserblast

@diazona best not to. #Monsterdon

Dunno if I ever seen anyone get that wasted looking from drinking a coke
#monsterdon

that chord.... i know it anywhere.... it's the DREAM WEAVER, I BELIEVE YOU CAN GET ME THROUGH THIS MOVIEEEEEEEE

#monsterdon

@amyfou the YEEE-TI stepped on it

#Monsterdon

Eddie Deezen how do you always look so punchable? You set the standard for unlikable nerds in movies for decades.
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Laserblasn't.

#monsterdon

we used up the auto budget on the four-car cop near-crash, no money left for a van race. #monsterdon

The guy from that other movie we just watched!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

#monsterdon what the actual frack is up with that pull-over?

I was literally typing "A remarkably restrained performance by Eddie Deezen" and then he started doing whatever that was. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon was the white van prepared with a whoppee cushion? Brrrap.

Yeah! Gonna race! In my cruddy panel van! With nerds! #monsterdon #laserblast

So everyone is 37, but supposed to be 16 then?

#monsterdon

@Taweret He can button his lip too #monsterdon

"A dog of the house of Montague moves me!!!"

#Monsterdon

Is that Fizzy Bear driving? #Monsterdon

Unfortunately for Billy, he lived a number of years before anti-depressants #Monsterdon

Fun fact in the 1970s you instantly appeared to be in your 30s when puberty hit #Monsterdon

Eddie Deezen, on the other hand, became Hollywood's King of the Nerds.

#monsterdon

Hahahahah hahahahaha haahaahaaa #Monsterdon #laserblast

New “UnLeaded” gasoline. Oh joy.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

Why does his panel van have big footprints on the sides?

Froggy seems cool #monsterdon

Whoever these guys in the blue convertible are, I hope we get their theme song frequently

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon he's gonna drag-race the van?

Mandark! Back again. #Monsterdon #Laserblast

Uhh... this guy's in EVERYTHING!

#monsterdon

He's also bored with this race.
