Ranked #107
Excellence Level: Silver
Movie Pain: Low - No budget, but decent B Movie
Riffing: Solid, good humor
Skits: Most are very funny

Old looking teen aliens plan on using Earth to farm their food source: The ever fearful and tasty GARGON (actually a laughable lobster shadow). Derek, our "Teenager from Outer Space"; rebels, runs away, rooms with a guy missing a finger and falls in love with Betty. Phew - All this just to avoid... "TOHTCHA".
     Unlike many low budget B-Movies, TFOS actually has some tight editing, several location shots and offers more than one camera angle. So a person could conceivably watch this one without the gag reflex kicking in.
     Now, toss in some funny riffs (Thor and his skeleton gun inspire a few good rib ticklers) and host segments (Clayton dates Resusci-Annie; Reel to Real life), and you have all the makings for an 'out of this world' viewing experience... And of course - This movie goes great with drawn butter, it's to die for.
     Trivia Alert! In segment 3, when Crow waxes philosophic; the bit about... "Hanging in space like a speck of food floating in the ocean. Sooner or later, to be swallowed up by some creature floating by..." He was quoting a character from the start of the movie. This piece of film was not seen or riffed on in the MST3K version.

Host Segments
Intro: Joel finds an effective way to retire the NBC Mystery Movie riffs. Invention: Tom & Crow present the Scratch N' Sniff Report Card. Dr. F puts on a show using Resusci-Annie and has to perform emergency mouth to mouth, "That's an odd taste". Segment 1: How real life Landlords stack up against the one in the movie. Segment 2: J&TB take out the trash; drive-in style. Segment 3: Skull spaceship visits the SOL. End: Duct tape fashions & Clays date with Annie. Stinger: Derek's boss promises TOHTCHA!

MST Hour Segments
Part 1: Jack holds some pimple cream and reminds us, "It’s only teenage wasteland". Upon his return he mentions the difficulty in grounded a teenager from outer space for their shenanigans. As credits scroll across the screen, he exercises and hurts himself. Part 2: Before the recap, we spot Mr. Perkins getting his makeup, he complains that he looked like Frosty the Snowman in the last segment. In the closing bit he holds a skull and wonders why people are frightened of skeletons. During the credits he attempt to bowl the skull but it gets stuck on his fingers.
