While ''Hobgoblins'' is probably not the worst movie to ever be screened on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', it is one of them, and possibly the sleaziest.
Though director Rick Sloane ''requested'' that his film be featured on the show, it suffered some of the harshest riffing ever. The Mads removed the film case from the [[Raiders of the Lost Ark|Ark of the Covenant]]. The bots tried to flee the theater during ''the opening credits''. Crow set up a hotline for people traumatized by the movie. Mike and the 'bots tried to escape ''again'' by replacing themselves with cardboard cutouts in the theater and the bridge (it nearly worked, too). Crow impersonated Sloane during the end credits claiming he was "high on crack" and had "[his] brain replaced with rat droppings". Servo tried, and failed, to go back in time to prevent the movie from being made.
=== The ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' episode of this movie contains examples of: ===
Line 28:
* [[Insecurity System]]:
{{quote|'''Mike:''' "Tell me again why they have an elaborate security system ''but they don't lock anything?!''" }}
* [[Made of Iron]]:
{{quote|'''Crow:''' So the only side effect of his [[Kill It with Fire|complete immolation]] is... ''mild redness and irritation?''}}
* [[Mickey Mousing]]:
Line 36:
'''Mike Nelson''': Well, that's [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop|the fun message of today's movie]]! }}
* [[Ship Tease]]: When Bobo calls Tom & Crow's "''Hobgoblins'' Crisis Hotline" for advice about the crush he had on "a woman... (looks at Pearl behind him) a woman ''not of my species''<ref>(a chimpanzee named Emily)</ref>, [[Squick|squicking]] the 'Bots horribly.
* [[Stable Time Loop]]/[[You Can't Fight Fate]]: Servo's attempt to erase the existence of ''Hobgoblins'' by going back in time and kicking Rick Sloane in the shins ends up being the latter's inspiration for the movie.
** Tom explains this while dressed in a leather jacket and sunglasses while holding a machinegun; Mike explains that he thought that Tom was going to "[[The Terminator|terminate]]" Sloane.
