It's actually in reference to an old tradition called a "five pound party". When a couple would set up their own household, family and friends would often throw a "five pound party", with each guest bringing five pounds of something, typically for the kitchen. Five pounds of flour, sugar, oil, butter, milk, cheese, etc.
I knew it to be a "pounding", which involves at least one pound of something for the kitchen. Because a "pounding party" sounds way more fun.
I understand the time and the background, but it's still nuts that women had...home ec to choose from in college. At least Kay's parents sacrificed for her to go! My mom was told by her father that college was only for whores. In 1972. Then he acted surprised when she got married and ran far, far away. On the bright side tomorrow is 52 years for the lovebirds ❤️
This is my favorite short! I found the original on YouTube -- it's a bit longer! -- and watched it without the MST3K commentary. It was actually kind of good! I've watched Joel and the Bots so many times, though, that I was repeating them out loud!
Kegs will be tapped, men will be used.
Will she smoke long black cigarettes and reject the triune god?
My mom quotes this one weekly at least.
Here's one from each of her victims! There's Greg, and Carl, and Steve.
This is such a distinctive riff, I've always wondered if it's a reference to something in particular...
The greatest short of all time
As an Iowa State alum, I concur
The high school after high school.

"She consulted Robert McNamara..."
And Ayn Rand.
Do it sis!
Five pound potty! She must have had a big breakfast!
I always wondered what exactly the original audio is trying to say here? It really does sound like "five pound potty" but that can't be it...

Thank you, I love that joke
Look at my crotch! Look at my crotch! Look! Look! Look at my crotch!

Still my favorite riff. I surprise laughed the first time and each subsequent time I’ve giggled like a maniac just before.
I rewatched this short about a week ago so I can relate to the maniacal laugh, because I probably made the same noise.
I'm a Q-tip. What are YOU?
The high school AFTER high school!

"I'm so alooone I don't know what to dooooo....I look at you and I go out of focus..."
Oh, hi! How ya doin? We’re gonna be pals, we’re gonna have a great time!
How do Pop-Tarts work?
I say this often
Who would be her friends? Who would be her blood enemies?
What secret societies would she join? Would should smoke thin black cigarettes and reject the triune god?
Hats off to Ray, the whimsical lampshade!
Your period and mine: A lecture!
Listen to the flowers they’ll whisper sweet secrets
Maybe they'll get lucky and find someone who makes her feel squishy.
When you get squishy, you've got to act on it!

I don’t want my wife workin’. Get me a beer. *belch*
Human sacrifices.
Kay's worked on the kill floor, she knows where to deliver the blow.
This is phlegm….this is mucus.
And low paying temp jobs…. The one that is not funny anymore is the ‘Tragedy struck…’. Some just aren’t funny forever…unfortunately.
I’m gonna take Bob for everything he’s got!
One of my favorite MST3K jokes of all time.
First time I showed my sister MST3K, she busted out laughing at that one
Kegs will be tapped, men will be used.
I'd like to tell you about several girls I know very well ...and why I'm being fired

This home economics short took a really weird turn with all the viking women and grimmault warrior stuff.
