MST3K was how reaction streamers worked in the 90's
27It pleases me to be the first person ever to write about the series Mystery Science Theater 3,000 without once using the terms “riffing,” “wisecrack,” or “b movie.”
FICTIONAL CHARACTERS DOING REACTION CONTENT?! Who would ever conceive such an audacious concept for entertainment. If ever there was an example of a product that was “ahead of its time”, this is it.
It seems like it could be relevant to vtubers’ interests somewhat! It can be a bit dated (it is 30+ years olf, after all.) Let me attempt to reconfigure your brain with the help of the strange puppets, Tom Servo and Crow. (I managed not to mention Gypsy at all but that’s the other robot that’s on the show sometimes.)
Mystery Science Theater 3,000 = MST3K (I never explained the acronym)
Special thanks to Bijou the Octo, who made my moon art!!
