Mystery Mermaid Theater 3000

[WickedElphie]

Swemer requested a parody awhile back but I've had some trouble getting it to work. I did have another idea that's sorta in the same ballpark.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a TV show about a guy who was forced to watch bad movies to break his will. He'd watch with his robot friends and they'd make fun of the movies as they watched.

Well, what if:

In the not-too-distant future-
In a kingdom under the sea-
There's a merman named Triton
Who had a nifty Trident-thingy
He ruled over all the merpeople and fish
And punished evildoers with a swish
He did a good job taking care of life marine,
But Ursula wanted to take over
So she stuffed him in a submarine

Ursula: I'll send him Disney movies,
The sappiest I can find (la-la-la).
He'll have to sit and watch them all,
While I monitor his mind (la-la-la).
Now keep in mind Triton can't control
Where the movies begin or end (la-la-la)
He'll try to keep his sanity
With his daughter and her friends

Roll Call:
Eric! (Huh?)
Ariel! ( I don’t wanna be part of THIS world)
Sebastian! (Oh mon!)
Flounder! (This is scary!)

If you're wondering how they eat and breathe
and other science facts (la la la),
Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a fanfic,
I should really just relax
For Mystery Mermaid Theater 3000!"

Swemer-yes, no, maybe so? Anyone else with thoughts?

:-/that was definitely cute and creative

Thanks so much, but I just parodied the theme song there. I was wondering if people would like to see me parody an actual episode with the first 'film' being the actual Little Mermaid movie. Any takers?

Who gets to be Tom Servo?

But, on a more serious note, how many people here are aware of the old Mystery Science Theatre 3000 show?

Comedy Central doesn't show it anymore, the SciFi Channel took it over and cancelled it, so they don't show it anymore. The one pure movie release they did was fair and not up to what they really could do. Rhino Home Video is messing up releases of the old series.

Besides, the movies that work best are those that are truly terrible, with absolutely no redeeming quality. "Manos, The Hands of Fate" "Untamed Youth" "Night of the Blood Beast", true stinkers.

I am just concerned that people may not find the humor in it and get cheesed off.

Hey now this is interesting... I remember watching an episode of the original MT3000 where our hero built an electric bagpipe...

A classic show, a classic show. I, for one, would appreciate the humor of such an endeavour.
