12. TOM SERVO AND CROW T. ROBOT

FROM Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1996)

VOICED BY Kevin Murphy (Tom Servo) and Trace Beaulieu (Crow)

PROGRAMMING As on the long-running TV series, these wisecracking robots and human custodian Mike Nelson serve as a peanut gallery trapped in space and forced to watch legendarily inept old sci-fi movies — in this case, 1955's This Island Earth.

SPECIAL FEATURES They can't do much — Tom appears to be little more than a modified gumball machine, while Crow seems a cross between a bowling pin and a box of takeout food — but their snark capability goes up to 11.

WHY THEY PUSH OUR BUTTONS Watching delightfully bad cinema, they say what we'd say if only we were clever, witty, and fast enough.
