Hey fellow MiSTies! I'm throwing a pirate-themed party later this month,
and want to have an episode of MST3k on one TV. Are there any episodes that
feature pirates? I've been wracking my brain, but just can't come up with
any from memory.

Thanks!
Neo

Well, there's Moon Zero Two, if space pirates count.

Tom Carberry (#45505, or were the eye-patch and parrot on shoulder variety
the only acceptable "pirates"?)

I was hoping for the sailing type, but space pirates will do if they're the
only option. Is that episode out on DVD?

Thanks!
Neo

Hm. Also 'Manhunt In Space', if you allow for Space Pirates.
For the more conventional sort of normal water-based pirates I'm stumped;
I can't think of any that have pirates as a main theme.

There's a couple with pirate-inspired riffs, if that helps.
'Bloodlust!' has the Scooby Doo gang go off in search of clams and pirate
treasure before they meet up with Commander McBragg and John the Baptist.

Did Diabolik go out swiping boats? That might make him kind of a
pirate, I guess. There are a few episodes where they go tromping about
on boats, sometimes with people being taken captive and such, which is
kind of piratey in a way.

Were there ever pirates on the Hex Field View Screen?

And don't forget "Space Mutiny" which had the "Pirate Fleet" playing a
remarkably off-screen role ;-). But the presence of a MUTINY has to
be a plus, doesn't it?

Just to update the curious:

I ended up having the Shorts Vol 1 and 2 DVDs on the TV during my pirate
party, and they were big hits. No pirates, but the humor helped keep things
lively and didn't keep people glued to the TV for two hours. Something to
keep in mind for the future!
