The guys check out the first installment of the short Hired! (1940) where a Chevrolet sales manager tries to boost door-to-door sales. Later, the guys watch a mad scientist's experiments attract the attention of the press and the police in Bride of the Monster (1955). Joel and the Bots stage "Hired: The Musical" and Willy the Waffle returns to defend blatant product placement. Written by skillwithaquill

I will openly admit that I haven't seen too many episodes of this series so I really can't say whether or not this is one of the best or worst. I must also admit that I usually prefer to watch these bad movies on their own and don't typically go for the MST3K but I was interested in watching one of my favorites with the added laughs.
For the most part I found this episode to be rather funny. Since they are throwing one joke out after another, not all of them stick but I'd say that there are enough laughs here to make it worth viewing even if you're not a fan. There were a lot of great jokes aimed at Tor Johnson that worked quite well as well as with star Bela Lugosi. The joke where they yell "cut" and tell Lugosi not to "try anything" with the girl was quite funny.
