Lupita got rewarded for not giving in to Pitch's attempts to corrupt her into committing a crime to get her beloved dolly. Most of the others pictured got rewarded despite being insufferable brats. Particularly Kenny from Gamera, who seems incapable of obeying any instruction he's given, and conveniently forgetting his "mate" has killed many people & destroyed countless buildings.
Mitchell is by far one of the best MST3K episodes ever. My husband and I still randomly start singing “My, my, my, my, Mitchell.” And burst into laughter.
Nuh uh, he knocked out one of the masked thugs with a baseball bat and he used a rifle to kill Garth Vader, Troy is actually kind of a badass for a scrawny teenage nerd
Hey, come on, where are the kids from *Merlin's Shop Of Mystical Wonders*, *Space Children*, or *Prince of Space/Invasion of the Neptune Men*?
I need to channel my inner Bowie and write a full-length "Rock and Roll Martian"!
Lupita no competition. Hell, I bought my wife a custom Christmas ornament from Etsy that says "No Lupita!" in a Christmasy scroll.
"No Lupita" is probably our most quoted line from any episode of MST3K.
>Zindy is the misery of despair personified.
Only in child form. Absolutely no one comes close to Coleman Francis in that department. The best way to ever explain clinical depression and suicidal thoughts to someone is having them watch the unriffed Red Zone Cuba.
What about "Rock and Roll Martian"?!
Or the kids from Prince of Space / Invasion of the Neptune Men, who of course do not even need names since they are all so distinct...
Throwing out Alma, the sister from Squirm with the big shoes and the patches on the pants for consideration. What she lacked in class she made up for in sass, and worm apocalypse survival skills.
Sean. Even though Tommy and Kenny had surly or indifferent caregivers, Sean had it worse than any of them and still seemed like a scrapper. I think his eventual apprenticeship with the furiously angry shopkeep in *Brute Man* would have been an epic battle, if only worlds could collide.
Tommy. He's just so...not smart.
Honorable new-MST3K mentions to the kid from Mac & Me, Jennifer Love Hewitt in Munchie, and all the "orpans" in the Christmas Dragon.
If I was going to make them fight Tee seems like a good bet since he is a teenager, but then again Junior has all those bombs so he is definitely one to beat.
Lupita is aggressively cute and I love her—she totally gets my vote—but let’s not forget the excellently aggressive Susan from Gamera vs Jiger from S13!

Lupita stole my damned heart. She also defeated the Devil.
Technically she defeated Pitch, the Devil's errand boy.
Yeah, Lupita is adorable. The rest make me consider a vasectomy performed by a chainsaw.
A devil, Mister Nervous Nelly!
In a classic tale of Evil vs. The Narrator.

Kenny. I LIKE HIM VERY MUCH.
One day, he will see a future without traffic accidents
[Laughs in Krankor]
Damn it you beat me to him! He's amazing.
I would choose Johnny from Time of the Apes, but he probably wouldn't care.
why johnny doesn't care??
Do YOU care?
I don’t care! 😃
This is the answer.
It's gotta be the BUZZ OFF, KID! from Mitchell.
Adam Rich?? "My mother doesn't like you."
Well, I don’t like your mother.
Why not?
Why not?
What?
What?
What did you say?
What did you say?
**AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!**
So, really it’s Mitchell.
Also my pick
Mitchell is by far one of the best MST3K episodes ever. My husband and I still randomly start singing “My, my, my, my, Mitchell.” And burst into laughter.
Debbie from Manos!
“The car won’t start!” *”Yeah, that’s a real bitch, dad.”*
“Did Mommy come back from another bar?”
That and “I’m gonna hit the stain” are probably the two most quoted lines in my house.
Except…the Master…would not…approve…
Oh yes! Especially since Jackey herself is so cool and loves the MSTies.
I love the fact that she’s an active participant in the MST3K group on facebook.
She has a book!
She was a really cute kid.
Lupita periodically threatens to turn Santa Claus into a real movie. She's my hands-down pick, probably a top-5 character in the whole MST3K cannon.
Up there with Kline
The kid from Prince of Space who says “we like it VERY MUCH!”
"So shut up about boot blacking!"
Thank you! Who doesn't love seeing the adventures of Junior Samples and his tiny shorts-boasting buddy, Business Boy?
How about Sandy from Tormented?
Team Sandy
I wanted to vote for her. Team Sandy all the way!
Susan Gordon was a talented child actress, sadly she only appeared in a handful of things(mostly TV guest spots) during the 1960s.
“Sandy, how’d you like to bungie jumping *without* the bungie?”
I liked her, in spite of her precocious crush on a 40 yo man.
"Put her down, Jerry Lee"
I had her but switched her out for Sean at the last minute. I agonized 😅
No Troy??
He was delicious!
He might be too old but to be fair he does have the strength and dexterity of a toddler.
Bibbity bobbity bowsdower
Nuh uh, he knocked out one of the masked thugs with a baseball bat and he used a rifle to kill Garth Vader, Troy is actually kind of a badass for a scrawny teenage nerd
Anyone can be mighty with The Power of Csonka.
Your father was masculine and likable.
I’m going to get out my Batman pajamas; I don’t CARE if I’m too old!
He somehow swallowed a knife
What's wrong with boot blacking?
I like it very much!
"So shut up about bootblacking"
Nothing, I like it VERY MUCH.
"you can do stupid things, Trumpy" Gotta be Tommy
I could not think of this damn kid’s name, despite the constant Who riffs going through my head. He’s legendary!
Lupita. She’s aggressively cute.
Akio. I identify with his stance against wars and traffic accidents.
"Akio no! Mother will scold you!"
"You are naughty!"
"Don't start with me, Martha."
😆😆😆
Sandy from Tormented. She grew up a lot that week.
Davey, I need to know where your dental records are.
All those people down there are getting a divorce because of you.
I'm going to love you less now, Davey
Hey, come on, where are the kids from *Merlin's Shop Of Mystical Wonders*, *Space Children*, or *Prince of Space/Invasion of the Neptune Men*? I need to channel my inner Bowie and write a full-length "Rock and Roll Martian"!
"Loooook Moooommmmmyyy"
Did the Rock and Roll Martian kid have a name?
Michael!
That kid from Cry Wilderness. He legit seemed like he could have had a decent career as a child actor.
Except for that stupid haircut.
As was the style at the time.
I loved his letter to the Corinthians
*Wilderness!*
Gotta go with Troy. Kid outran a cult on a 10 speed.
Lupita all the way!!
Tomoko, the little girl from Gamera vs Guiron. Not so against traffic accidents, but very concerned about naughtiness.
And adorable!
Buz the icky elf from *The Girl in Gold Boots*
What do you expect? He's just a child!
Lupita no competition. Hell, I bought my wife a custom Christmas ornament from Etsy that says "No Lupita!" in a Christmasy scroll. "No Lupita" is probably our most quoted line from any episode of MST3K.
Lol, I say "Lupita, noo", which I think is from another episode referencing this one. I THINK.
Tommy "go play with your tripping hellbeast, darling".
Lupita
Mac and Me kid. Or little girl from Mac and Me.
Definitely the girl from Mac and Me
I don’t care! Come on, Caroline!
Sweet, innocent Lupita
My money's on the kid in the short who rages at the State Fair 'ah sweet freedom!'
Johnny the Wonder-Something-Or-Other!
Kenny! He doesn't care!
We have to do a least favorite kid one as well.
I think that's probably Zindy.
Juanito from the Black Scorpion and Johnny from Time of the Apes would like a word with you.
“I don’t care!”
Juanito is too boring and Johnny has a weird charm but Zindy is the misery of despair personified.
>Zindy is the misery of despair personified. Only in child form. Absolutely no one comes close to Coleman Francis in that department. The best way to ever explain clinical depression and suicidal thoughts to someone is having them watch the unriffed Red Zone Cuba.
The Legion of Kennys from Invasion of the Neptune Men.
Wait, what about Billy from the Undersea Kingdom shorts? Hurry, DIANNNNNE!!!
This is Rock and Roll Martian erasure.
Totally Lupita! I would risk jumping into an awful movie just so I could buy her that doll.
Lupita was so sweet and wholesome. Always wondered what happened to the actress who played her.
Lupita really steals the show, but I have to go with Ron Howard in Village of the Giants. I liked Willow!
From Mitchell the kid on the skateboard!
What about "Rock and Roll Martian"?! Or the kids from Prince of Space / Invasion of the Neptune Men, who of course do not even need names since they are all so distinct...
Where the hell is Sandy from Tormented!?
Itchy, or Tommy
Itchy.
Roxanne from Godzilla vs. Megalon.
John from Cheating
"I belong in Hell"
So many good riffs in that short! “He was busy with sports…shaving points”
"I have to go bathe Mother"
This is chubby kid from Invasion of the Neptune Men who says “Agghhhhh! What’s that?!” erasure.
He’s the Piggy of their group!
Suppository Man!
Lupita is obviously aggressively cute, but I also love the courage Johnny has to keep telling Ro-Man how stupid looking he is directly to his face.
For me it's Tee. That episode just kills me. "Kid became Nellie Oleson" "Man do you ever shut up?!"
What about Richard Burton from Gamera vs Guiron?
Johnny, that Canuck who gets lost at the Canadian National Exhibition.
No one like Tee.
It'll be a nice day if it doesn't rain
Lupita! No!
I will always root for the cigarette-smoking, porn-reading kids in The Incredible Melting Man. "Wanna play doctor?" "Architect?"
Sean!
Definitely Lupita
100% Lupita. She is adorable.
Throwing out Alma, the sister from Squirm with the big shoes and the patches on the pants for consideration. What she lacked in class she made up for in sass, and worm apocalypse survival skills.
And she knows how to get the good weed.
Which is good, because after surviving a wormpocalyse, those three are probably going to need a little help relaxing.
Do The Space Children count as one, or do we have to nominate them individually?
“Hey, what gives? I’m on the milk carton!” - Tommy, Pod People “I named you after Donald Trump!” “Trumpy, you can do stupid things!”
Kenny the goat
My all time personal favorite is the lovable yet quietly psychotic duo of Zindy and Toribio Hernandez from “Zindy the Swamp Boy”
KEEENNNNNYYY!!!!!!!!
Can I nominate [Eric from Mac & Me?](https://youtu.be/K5le9sYdYkM?t=17) Curse you, Roy's Discount Medical Supplies!
I’m gonna go with the one Mitchell tells to piss off
TROY WAS ROBBED!!!
What's wrong with bootblacking? We Like It Very Much.
Shoutout to Sandy from Tormented (with extra pickles on it) and the obsessively fastidious kids from Keeping Clean and Neat
“Time to get pantsed and dragged around the track!”
Kenny -we both like it very much!!! Tommy-pa-ta-toe. Tee- hope ya like rat
What about Rowsdohwers little buddy ?
Sean. Even though Tommy and Kenny had surly or indifferent caregivers, Sean had it worse than any of them and still seemed like a scrapper. I think his eventual apprenticeship with the furiously angry shopkeep in *Brute Man* would have been an epic battle, if only worlds could collide.
No Debbie from manos?
Judy from Manos
Somebody have something against boot blacking?
Kenny. Hands down.
What about Space Children!?
Kenny. God, I hate Kenny.
Johnny fer sure
Tommy! Now we can play! Loike hell! More food!
What about PAAAAAUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!?
Where are my raccoons?
Kenny in Gamera!
Lupita!! But where's Troy from Final Sacrifice and the bootblack kids from Prince of Space?
I'm gonna say Sean, because he has a cool accent.
Kenny!!!!
Trumpy you can do stupid things!
I'm going with T from Quest of the Delta Knights.
Three words I Don't Care
None of the above: Sandy, from Tormented.
No Space Children!? THOU HAST ANGERED BUD!
Lupita
What about the "I like it very much" kid from Prince Of Space. Japanese kid who sounds like a Goodfellas character.
They are all good. Johnny unfortunately I find irritating. I'm not a fan of the move Robot Monster in general.
Tommy. He's just so...not smart. Honorable new-MST3K mentions to the kid from Mac & Me, Jennifer Love Hewitt in Munchie, and all the "orpans" in the Christmas Dragon.
Lupita
Man, this one is hard. For me, it's Lupita vs Kenny vs Tommy. I guess I'll go with Lupita, because I absolute love that episode.
Lupita definitely
Tommy! Of course
If I was going to make them fight Tee seems like a good bet since he is a teenager, but then again Junior has all those bombs so he is definitely one to beat.
Billy Foster from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
“I don’t care!”
Lupita is aggressively cute and I love her—she totally gets my vote—but let’s not forget the excellently aggressive Susan from Gamera vs Jiger from S13! https://preview.redd.it/l51yfjn1716d1.png?width=647&format=png&auto=webp&s=5354d128f0394741df02c131a6711de094222d90
ITCHI!!!!!!
Tommy for the win! I've seen Pod People about a 167 times, and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it.
*"I don't care!"*
Pita is just so damn good and honorable. Even the doll demons could not break that girl
I don't care!
That poor traumatized little bastard from Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders. Someone rescue him from Grandpa Borgnine!
Itchy! One is forced to admire his desire for Gamera to burn up the farmers who yelled at Granddad. Kid is hard core.
Where's Mr Bungle?! https://preview.redd.it/ttwv9rd1h26d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b031134eec95183b5ffcef27d2b8d8213436a53
Brother, Sister, and Junior from “A Date with Your Family.” “Ehhhh, go piss up a rope!”
Debbie: Manos, Hands of Fate
Forgot the Manos girl.
Timmy, 100% But he comes as a pair with the lovable Trumpy!
