Watch "Cheating" and tell me you didn't laugh...

This collection is a bit dull as a whole, as three of the shorts are so bad that the gang couldn't even poke fun at them (the chicken one wasn't even funny). But the CHEATING short, along with a shop class and home education film, were downright hilarious.

This is, of course, that show with the three guys watching horrible B-movies from over the world. Many people, including me, used to reference it as "the show with the three guys watching movies." Fans call it "MST3K," a.k.a. "Mystery Science Theater 3000." After picking up season 2 of this marvelous show, you can call me a fan. At first glance, many viewers may lose faith, as the opening sequences are always...well...weird, but it's the whole point.

Anyway, back to the shorts volume. I loved it. One of the lines by "Crow" the robot really got to me in the CHEATING video.

Crow: "Or was it lust?"

I love it. LOVE IT!

All stars on this excellent piece of work.
