Is anyone here familiar with Mystery Science Theater 3000? If not, then shame on you. then here's what it's about. It's about a guy in a red jumpsuit named Joel Robinson who worked at Gizmonic Institute. Eventually, he is subject to an experiment under the control of Dr. Clayton Forrester and his assistant Dr. Lawrence Erhardt (who is replaced by TV's Frank in the next season). Joel was shot up into space in a satellite called the Satellite of Love. Joel was to be forced to watch horrible B-rated movies until he goes insane, and Dr. Forrester unleashes that one movie to rule the world.
To prevent this, Joel built four robots, Cambot, Gypsy, Tom Servo, and Crow. The show is pretty much in Cambot's point of view. It is a camera, after all. Gypsy, the only female aboard the SOL, or at least with a feminine personality, takes care of the satellite, cleaning it, fixing broken machines, and etc. while Joel, Tom, and Crow are in the theater watching their movie of the week. Tom Servo and Crow are two robots that are with Joel as he is forced to watch the movies.
To survive through the horrors that are the movies (and sometimes shorts), Joel, Tom, and Crow mock them by making humorous comments. This is called "riffing." This is the heart of the show. The comments sometimes even make references to other movies, famous people, past events, and other miscellaneous stuff.
tl;dr: MST3K is one of the greatest shows in existence, and some kind people uploaded clips of the show to Youtube. Here are my personal favorites. Watch and laugh.
Warning: Might contain profanity, though rarely.

* In the fifth season Joel escapes from the Satellite of Love. Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank, commonly referred to as the Mads, send their temp, Mike Nelson, up there to replace him. Videos with one asterisk next to them are videos with Mike Nelson instead of Joel Robinson.
** Joel/Mike and the bots do take breaks from the movie of the week and use that time to do hilarious skits relating to the movie in question. Here is the skit shown after Catching Trouble. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l3SDZV0mxo
In the words of Joel Robinson, "What do you think, sirs?"

(Not going to do this the nice way, huh? Fine then, we do it the not-nice way.) Inside the computer systems at the Pokémon Factory HQ, an alarm started beeping. "Wha-" Poryhedron noted the alarm's source. "Aaron's lost possession of his Basic Gym team Nevermore!? How'd that happen?" Immediately Poryhedron ducked into the wireless router, and at the speed of light, transferred itself to the network servers in Anchore Lab. Checking security camera feeds, Poryhedron spotted the "novice" trainer with what seemed to be a Snag Machine variant. "Geez, what happened to the days when ne'erdowells snuck in through back windows and stole unattended pokéballs?" Noting the exact geographical location of the altered pokéball, Poryhedron jumped from the Lab into the island's pokémon storage network and then straight into the Pokéball holding Nevermore. A quick alteration of the ball's coding caused it to transfer Nevermore back into Aaron's pokémon storage account. A second alteration introduced a bizarre glitch that left the ball unable to open or recall pokémon. Poryhedron had one more trick up its nonexistant sleeve. Scanning the changes this "Shadow Baller" had made to the pokéball, it found the wireless channel the device used to interface with pokéballs. Bouncing from the pokéball to the storage network to the Lab's servers and then into a wireless signal scanner, it used the channel data to transfer itself directly into the Shadow Baller. A few fun little tweaks later, Poryhedron rode the channel back from the device to the nearest pokéball (which happened to be Vulcant's) and back to the storage network, where it sent Nevermore back into Aaron's pokéball as an afterthought. Two seconds later, the Shadow Baller kicked into overdrive, flipping Vulcant's pokéball between Storage and Deployment sizes at a rapid rate. Nikko tried to shut the device off, but it didn't seem to be responding to any of its controls...finally the Shadow Baller's CPU overheated, there was a pop, and smoke started pouring out of the now-useless device.
