Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Clay Loomis This is a horrid 1950's marketing short for an instrument company, and to my knowledge cannot be found on its own on video today. But the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version can be found, so that's what I'm commenting on.IMHO, this is the funniest short ever covered by MST3k (Circus on Ice would be second). First, it's a Joel episode, and I always found those best. Second, this short is so psychotic that it provides almost limitless riffing possibilities. I wonder how many other jokes they came up with that just had to be thrown out because they couldn't fit them in. Let's hope Joel gives Mr. B another good going over with his new show, Cinematic Titanic. He did it for Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.I was fortunate in that I recorded all the MST3k episodes shown on Comedy Central. I've been converting the tapes over to DVD and came across this episode today while doing so. I'd seen it many times in the 1990's, but found it has lost none of its impact. Drop dead funny!I've got too many favorite lines to list them all, so I'll just keep it short and leave you with this-Mr. B Natural: You've got to inspect your horn, boy.... Crow: ....And wash it every day.

Lee Eisenberg In one of the many so-called educational films from the '50s, a jolly, spandex-clad woman calling herself Mr. B ("Mr. B"...hmmm, is she a lesbian?) shows a tensed-up schoolboy the wonders of musical instruments and reminds him to BE NATURAL (har har). "Mr. B Natural" is exactly the sort of movie that would make anyone hate music. Maybe that's why people seem to have been getting stupider for years: this sort of junk was used as education! If that sort of woman popped up in my room, I'd ask her whether she's on speed.Fortunately, all is not lost: "MST3K" showed this movie. As Crow put it: "Oscar Wilde wished he was this gay." Too bad that they didn't make any "I Dream of Jeannie" jokes; not only is there a character named Jeannie, but Mr. B appears and disappears (and makes things appear and disappear) like Barbara Eden's famous character.So, the movie itself is 0/10, but the "MST3K" version is 9/10 (a Jeannie joke would have pushed it into 10/10).

icehole4 Conn instruments probably wanted to distance itself from this trash so bad after it was released. Why they didn't title this Miss B Natural is beyond me. Betty Luster, playing a man(?) takes the school loser Buzz and turns him into a hepcat by having him play the trumpet. What really shoots this down are three things: 1. A severe lack of reality, especially from Mr. B, 2. Mr. B's obscene cheerfulness, and 3. bad acting from Buzz and several other people. Avoid this one unless you're watching the MST3K version. Joel and the bots skewer this one in one of their best performances on a short.

Rattrap007 This is by far the most disturbing short film I have ever seen. Mr. B Natural is supposed to be man, yet is played by a spritely, spirited, yet very annoying woman. She visits young Buzz and introduces him to the 'joy of playing music'. You will This is however, the greatest short ever shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000. I'm not saying that the short it self is higher quality than the others, but it is the funniest one with the heckling from Joel and the bots. The are just as frightened by Mr. B, whom Joel says is 'hot' when she/he/it is draped across a chair in a semi-sexual pose. They make the greatest want to take a long shower after viewing because it makes you feel so ill and dirty. jokes towards Mr. B. When Buzz asks where Mr. B comes from Tom Servo quickly inserts "Bellvue", which is a famous mental hospital. To sum up, do not watch for any reason unless you are watching the MST3K version. Ewww!
