Get ready for the funniest shit you've ever watched, Manos: The Hands of Fate!

This is the worst movie ever made being made fun of by the guys at Mystery Science Theater 3000. If you have never seen the show before, this is a good one to start with. Its hands down, the funniest thing I've seen on TV.

Mystery Science Theater 3000

The film was featured in an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on January 30, 1993, in the final episode of season four, preceded by the second half of the short Chevrolet training film "Hired!" The "bots" (Tom Servo and Crow) used the long uneventful drive at the beginning of the movie to repeat the title of the movie numerous times, as there was yet to be any action to mock. During the host segment breaks, Joel and the "bots" mocked the film's opening sequence, debated whether or not Torgo should be considered a monster, and impersonated "The Master" and his dog. At one point during their sketches, both the bots broke down into tears due to the poor quality of the movie, which was beyond even their attempts at making it interesting. After the film had finished, the slow-moving Torgo, played by Mike Nelson, appeared at the "mads" (Dr. Clayton Forrester and TV's Frank) lair to deliver a pizza two hours after it was ordered.[13][14] Torgo would also be featured in the later episodes Operation Double 007, Village of the Giants and Samson Vs. The Vampire Women.[15][16]

In addition, both TV's Frank and Dr. Forrester were depicted apologizing for showing the film, which even they had to admit was abysmal and went beyond their jobs of sending up bad movies, in the first and third break respectively.[13] This was a rare, if not unique, occurrence.

In the MST3K episode guide, the show's team of writers stated that they still feel Manos is the worst movie they ever covered, and that the film subsequently "became the standard by which all others are measured."

Manos has been described as one of the best, if not the best, episode of the series.[17][18] TV.com ranks the episode with a 9.6/10 ranking, gaining it "superb" status, while separate pages on Rotten Tomatoes and the Internet Movie Database for the MST3K cut give it an 80% "fresh" ranking and a 9.3/10 ranking respectively.
