Hey thanks Joel

 

[plagiarize]

A reminder that $5,702,153 is the number to beat Veronica Mars.

I think they're going to do it.

Comfortably at this pace... fingers crossed. I don't think anyone predicted a last day this jumping, but that 85 tier gets better value with every extra episode I guess.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Where is this money coming from?!

 

[piratepwnsninja]

30k to go!

 

[Brashnir]

14th episode!

 

[BattleMonkey]

It's going faster even yet now!

 

[Owensboro]

How much was that for a 14th? I missed the number.

 

[DrForester]

I bet they're already over $6.3m considering they haven't updated the add-on rewards all night.

$6.3

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Wait what...14 episodes?!

 

[daveo42]

14th episode?

 

[plagiarize]

I wish they'd update the add on total. It'd help us know if 6.3 is remotely plausible. I'm thinking not. But... who saw this much coming in today.

 

[Goreomedy]

14 is certainly luckier.

 

[reelbigtink]

Kickstarter headquarters, are you excited about us giving you a big chunk of $6 million??

 

[mclem]

Joel just mentioned a 14th episode for 6.3M. I suspect it'll get there when they update the addons.

 

[Tobor]

14 episodes! Now cut over to another terrible connection!

 

[plagiarize]

14 is certainly luckier.

Longer than season 9 and 10 has a nice ring to it, for sure... but can the add on total really be 600,000 right now?

MST3K Becomes the Biggest Crowd-Funded Video Project in Internet History

Mystery Science Theater 3000 smashed through all known barriers Friday night to prove itself the king of geeky TV when its total on Kickstarter soared past $6 million. The show, which went off the air in 1999, became the most successful crowdfunded video project of all time, surpassing the Veronica Mars movie, which previously held the title with $5.7 million.

The MST3k project’s ultimate goal had been $5.5 million to produce a new, 12-episode season of the cult series, in an attempt to prove to various networks or online streamers that there was a demand for the bad movie riffing series to return. This could not possibly have been proven more conclusively, as the minimum $2 million goal was immediately overcome. In the last 72 hours in particular, donations to the Kickstarter have been flying fast and furious, taking it well beyond any of the earlier projections. At the time of this writing, more than 47,000 people (including myself) have donated to the cause.

 

[mclem]

Don't worry, this is just leaving enough dead air to fit future riffs in.

They haven't updated it all night.

When does Miami-Dade come in though?

Blames Bill Gates. On an iPad.

Still absolute astounded they've gotten as much as they have in the past month.

 

[plagiarize]

I know, but bumping nearly 50% doesn't seem like something we can be certain of.

 

[reelbigtink]

"This is falling apart" caught on camera. This is the greatest disaster.

 

[DrForester]

Only 20k more until the Veronica Mars total is beat on Kickstarter alone.

 

[Tobor]

What do you guys think they have planned for when time runs out? Balloon animals? Plate spinner? Ventriloquist?

Stick a fork in that one. It's done.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

MASTER SHAKE!!!

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Oh man Master Shake!

 

[Brashnir]

When does Miami-Dade come in though?

Don't forget about the hanging chads.

 

[daveo42]

MASTER SHAKE!!!

Does he look thinner? He looks thinner.

 

[plagiarize]

Who the fuck... what... lederhosen... is this from somethinf?

Well, Steve's pants are going to be off, so there's plenty of places they could go.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

This is like a genius parody of bad telethons.

 

[mclem]

I assume Americans aren't familiar with the British music hall song "Down at the old Bull and Bush"?

 

[reelbigtink]

I really hope they stay away from the Tim & Eric/Aqua Teen type humor with the new show. I get that this is just a little telethon segment and not an indicator but still.

 

[plagiarize]

I assume Americans aren't familiar with the British drinking song "Down at the old Bull and Bush"?

I'm British. Never heard any version of this before.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

MASTER SHAKE!!!

 

[Gryph]

Yup. Fit comedian is the new fat comedian... You should see the Louis C.K Cross Fit routine.

 

[daveo42]

That was brilliant. Best act of the night.

Edit: More RiffTrax stuff!

 

[ckohler]

I'm in at the $85 tier.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Also...what reward tier is the accordion player?

 

[Brashnir]

rifftrax plug

 

[plagiarize]

I'm in at the $85 tier.

It's the tier that just keeps getting better and better value.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

More episodes?!

HANK GREEN!

 

[mclem]

I'm British. Never heard any version of this before.

The lyrics have been changed significantly, but I think it's a rewrite of the original

 

[DrForester]

RIFFTRAX IS ADDING MORE FREE RIFFTRAX TO $35 and $85 tiers!

I know, but bumping nearly 50% doesn't seem like something we can be certain of.

If this kickstarter makes it to 5.75m, then with the reproted add-on, that gets them to 6.2m.

I don't think there being 100k more in add-on bonuses today is all that out of the realm of possibility.

 

[daveo42]

Also...what reward tier is the accordion player?

You get both her and Dana at $25k for life. You'll have to provide your own food, lodging and clothes for them after purchase.

 

[plagiarize]

I've got my shovel ready to bury Veronica. Any minute now.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

BRACE YOURSELF TO BEAT VERONICA MARS!!!

 

[mclem]

5.7M! Veronica's going down
