+ | '''Crow T. Robot''' is one of the robotic companions built by [[Joel Robinson]] to help him stave off insanity while forced by the [[Mads]] to watch films as part of the [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]] experiment. He is easy-going and naïve, yet prone to deliver the most sarcastic remarks. Crow's middle initial stands for "The", making his full name "Crow The Robot." |
| − | == |
+ | ==Biography== |
| − | + | Crow, like his fellow robots [[Tom Servo]], [[Gypsy]], and [[Cambot]], was built by [[Gizmonic Institute]] janitor [[Joel Robinson]], who created them to help him withstand the torment of watching bad movies on the [[The Satellite of Love|Satellite of Love]], where Joel was trapped by mad scientists [[Dr. Clayton Forrester]] and [[Dr. Laurence Erhardt]]. |
|
| ⚫ | Once, Joel performed maintenance on Crow's RAM chips, and showed what he claimed was Crow's first memory. During the "memory", Joel explains that Crow's name is an acronym for "Cybernetic Remotely Operated Woman". Back in the present, Crow was shocked to discover that he's a woman, and instantly started worrying about the dishes and watching ''{{w|Thirtysomething}}''. Joel chuckled and explained, "Take it easy, Crow. It's all just a real elaborate joke... I basically invented you to put that memory in and pull that joke on you." Crow calmed down, stating "So my life has been one big setup for a punchline? Boy, I feel like {{w|Morey Amsterdam}}."<ref>[[MST3K K19 - Hangar 18|Episode #K19 - ''Hangar 18'']]</ref> |
||
| − | Originally, Crow was more adolescent than [[Tom Servo]], although their relative maturity occasionally changed to suit the host segments; both robots regarded Joel as a father figure, while [[Mike Nelson|Mike]] was more of an older brother type. Crow was often depicted as an unathletic nerd, epitomized by his putting himself in a double jock lock. After Crow's original voice actor and puppeteer [[Trace Beaulieu]] left, the Crow voiced and manipulated by [[Bill Corbett]] underwent a personality change. Corbett's Crow was noticeably more irritable, bitter, and impatient with the movies than Beaulieu's Crow had been. This was explained in the show as a result of being left on the SOL for several hundred years while the rest of the crew became pure energy, although this was admittedly Crow's own fault for returning to the SOL so soon after getting bored at the edge of the universe. |
||
| + | After [[Kinga Forrester]] and [[Max]] escaped from their [[MST3K 1206 - Ator, the Fighting Eagle|trap]], [[Jonah Heston|Jonah]] gave Crow an upgrade: the ability to blink.<ref>[[MST3K 1301 - Santo in the Treasure of Dracula|Episode #1301 - ''Santos in the Treasure of Dracula'']]</ref> |
||
| − | ==Personality== |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Though masculine in programming (masculine used lightly), he was described in the KTMA episode Hanger 18 as being a "hermaphrobot" which was really an elaborate joke by Joel.<ref>K19 [[Hangar 18]]</ref> |
||
| + | A duplicate of Crow was built for the [[Simulator of Love]]. This Crow has a more feminine voice, but otherwise seems to be identical to the Crow on the Satellite of Love.<ref>[[MST3K 1303 - Beyond Atlantis|Episode #1303 - ''Beyond Atlantis'']]</ref> |
||
| − | Crow is easy going, but snarky, quick-witted and opinionated. He often delivers the most sarcastic remarks and is the biggest quipper on the entire show. |

||
| + | Crow is easy-going and quick-witted, but snarky and opinionated. He often delivers the most sarcastic remarks and is the most frequent quipper on the show. After the SOL crew's return from the edge of space, Crow was noticeably more irritable, caustic, and impatient with the movies than he previously had been, apparently as a result of being alone on the SOL for over five-hundred years while the rest of the crew was pure energy. |
||
| ⚫ | Crow describes himself as using cyber-based bubble memory, working off {{w|Unix}} and could use a variety of operating systems, underwent a complex personal evolution wherein painful confusion had given way to what he liked to think of as some degree of wisdom culminating in his current Zarasthustrian sense of self, often panics when making sandwiches, smells conspiracy in everything and doesn't know what he means most of the time.<ref>[[MST3K 421 - Monster A-Go Go|Episode #421 - ''Monster A-Go Go'']]</ref> |
||
| − | Crow's accomplishments during the show's run include writing several screenplays, including ''Earth vs. Soup'' (his seminal work), ''[[Peter Graves]] at the [[Wikipedia: University of Minnesota|University of Minnesota]]'', ''The Spy Who Hugged Me'', and ''Chocolate Jones and the Temple of Funk'', as well as a satirical political musical called ''Supercalifragilisticexpiali-wacky!''. He is also an avid member of the [[Kim Cattrall]] fan club, although he later harbors some affection for [[Estelle Winwood]]. Crow holds the distinction of being the only Bot who ever visited [[Deep 13]] (although Tom Servo and Gypsy once visited the [[Last of the Wild Horses|alternate-earth]] version). In ''[[Kitten with a Whip]]'', he slid down the Umbilicus in an attempt to bring the SOL back to Earth, only to be frightened back up by Dr. Forrester (who then had Frank put a giant mousetrap beneath the Umbilicus). In the "Turkey Day" version of ''[[Night of the Blood Beast]]'', Crow attended the Forrester Thanksgiving dinner alongside such guests as [[Mr. B. Natural]], [[Pitch]] the Devil, and others. A second Crow lives in Wisconsin working at a cheese factory, due to a [[Wikipedia:time paradox|time paradox]] during the ''[[Time Chasers]]'' experiment. |
||
| ⚫ | Crow is somewhat prone to injury, as he gets blown up, cut in half, shattered, set on fire, or falls from great heights. He has also suffered bouts of vertigo, as he experienced nausea and dizziness from the unusual layout of the credits for ''[[Warrior of the Lost World (film)|Warrior of the Lost World]]''<ref>[[MST3K 501 - Warrior of the Lost World|Episode #501 - ''Warrior of the Lost World'']]</ref> and ''[[Beginning of the End (film)|Beginning of the End]]''.<ref>[[MST3K 517 - Beginning of the End|Episode #517 - ''Beginning of the End'']]</ref> |

| + | His favorite condiment on a hot dog is relish.<ref>''[[Turkey Day '21]]''</ref> During the [[A Tribute to Gamera vs Guiron|Tribute to Gamera vs Guiron]], Jonah (as Anti-Jonah) identified Anti-Crow's favorite candy as Rolos. It is not clear if this means that they are also regular Crow's favorite candy, or if regular Crow hates Rolos. |
||
| − | He doesn't fall hard in love the same way Tom Servo does, but he has his odd little crushes every now and then. In one episode it's revealed that he's attracted to Kim Cattrall, although a year later he became infatuated with Estelle Winwood while watching 'The Magic Sword'. He's also more than implied to be attracted to ''Servo'', even having fantasies of him in a nurse's outfit. |
||
| + | At the conclusion of [[MST3K 324 - Master Ninja II|Experiment #324]], Crow named ''{{w|The Castle|Kafka's The Castle}}'' as his favorite movie, but it is unclear if he meant the 1964 Danish version or the 1968 West German version. This confused Tom, who had thought that Crow's favorite movie was ''{{w|Zardoz}}''. Crow also liked ''{{w|Willow_(film)|Willow}}''. |

||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | During [[MST3K 416 - Fire Maidens of Outer Space|Experiment #416]], Crow acquired a double named "[[Timmy]]", to whom the crew quickly took a liking. However, the double began playing tricks on Tom Servo and Joel, who blamed Crow for the actions. He eventually joined them in the theater during the movie and attacked Tom, cocooning him in a matter identical to the xenomorph from ''{{w|Alien (film)|Alien}}'', forcing Joel and Crow to stuff him into an airlock and blast him out of the ship and into space. |

| + | Alone among the bots, Crow once conducted a mission to [[Deep 13]]. During [[MST3K 615 - Kitten with a Whip|Experiment #615]], he slid down the Umbilicus in an attempt to bring the SOL back to Earth, but retreated back up to the satellite after being caught by Dr. Forrester, who then had Frank put a giant mousetrap beneath the Umbilicus—only to accidentally set off the trap on himself. |
||
| ⚫ | Crow |
||
| + | During [[MST3K 616 - Racket Girls|Experiment #616]], Crow was inspired by the short ''[[Are You Ready for Marriage? (short)|Are You Ready for Marriage?]]'' to ask Mike for Tom Servo's hand in marriage. During the wedding ceremony, everyone starts wrestling, prompting them all to forget the whole affair. |
||
| − | Crow is the most likely of the four movie-riffers to make off-color, cruel or lewd comments during the film, and receives frequent scoldings from Joel, Mike, and occasionally Tom because of this habit (see [[#Crow Syndrome|Crow Syndrome]]). In earlier seasons, Joel will sometimes get frustrated and tear off and fling away Crow's arms during the theatre or one of the host segments, much to Crow's annoyance. |
||
| + | Crow once traveled to the past, attempting to prevent Mike from getting trapped working for the Mads, only to have to go back and stop himself in order to save Mike's life. Due to a {{w|time paradox}}, one of the Crows was evidently left behind and may still be living in Wisconsin, working at a cheese factory.<ref>[[MST3K 821 - Time Chasers|Episode #821 - ''Time Chasers'']]</ref> |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Crow is a gold-colored puppet composed of, among other things, a split bowling pin mouth (an Empire "e" style Bowling Pin), an ice hockey mask head (Cooper XL7 FG), A vacu-formed Soap dish for an eye-socket (Schwartz Bros), Ping-Pong ball eyes, a Tuppercraft (Floralier) body, Swing-arm type desk lamps for arms, and Italian Fanny Pinchers for hands. During the [[KTMA]] season, he only had one Tupperware tray, and his eyes were glued to an entire Schwartz Bros. soap dish, which didn't include a separate eye movement mechanism, leaving them with a bulgier appearance. He is painted with Testors Gold Metalflake paint, which looks basically gold. Another version of Crow is used for the theater segments. This version is painted flat black. This flat black version was also used as his alter-ego "[[Timmy]]" in the ''Fire Maidens of Outer Space'' episode. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | ==Relationships== |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | The bots regard Joel as a father figure, while [[Mike Nelson|Mike]] was more of an older brother type. Crow stated that he did not dislike Jonah, but he (like Tom) was disinterested in Jonah's apparent death and the subsequent story of how he survived. Similarly, the Crow from the [[Simulator of Love]] has not shown any particular affection or hostility towards either [[Emily Connor|Emily]] or Joel. |
||
| + | [[Pearl Forrester]] would often refer to Crow as "Art" and appeared to have closer relationship with him than would seem likely, as evidenced by his invitation to the Forrester Thanksgiving dinner alongside such guests as [[Mr. B. Natural]], [[Pitch]] the Devil, and others.<ref>[[MST3K 701T - Night of the Blood Beast|Episode #701 - ''Night of the Blood Beast'']]</ref> |
||
| − | ===Voice=== |
||
| + | During [[MST3K 403 - City Limits|Experiment #403]], Crow became enamored of [[Kim Cattrall]], one of the stars of the film ''[[City Limits (film)|City Limits]]''. He went so far as to write a [[Oh, Kim Cattrall|song]] about her. When he later became infatuated with [[Estelle Winwood]] during [[MST3K 411 - The Magic Sword|Experiment #411]], he also wrote her a [[Ode on Estelle|song]] as well. He expressed a similar attraction to Mrs. Hargrove of [[The Deadly Bees (film)|''The Deadly Bees'']] during [[MST3K 905 - The Deadly Bees|Experiment #905]] and he wrote her a sonnet. He also expressed an attraction to [[Adrienne Barbeau]]. |
||
| − | [[File:KTMA_Crow.jpg|thumb|Crow during the KTMA era.]] |
||
| + | During the [[A Tribute to Future War|Tribute to Future War]] event, Jonah referred to the [[The Sci-Fi Channel|Sci-Fi Channel-era]] Crow as "Mike's Crow", acknowledging that they are different entities. Jonah's Crow (for lack of a better term) then revealed that he had knowledge of the other Crow's experiences. It is not clear how he got this information. |
||
| − | Trace Beaulieu operated Crow in the initial KTMA season and throughout the [[Comedy Central|Comedy Channel]]/[[Comedy Central]] years of seasons 1-7, as well as in ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie]]''. During KTMA and season 1, Trace slowly refined Crow's voice. Originally, it was somewhat babyish (this is most pronounced in the flashback to Crow being frozen in episode K05, ''[[Gamera (KTMA)|Gamera]]''. However, during the filming of this KTMA-era episode, Trace Beaulieu was out of town on business, and Servo's then-puppeteer [[Josh Weinstein]] actually handled Crow's one line in Beaulieu's absence. Josh also once voiced Crow in [[Invaders from the Deep|the premiere Mst3k episode]], though it is currently un revealed on why Trace wasn't available). By season two, Crow's voice had become more sharp. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Upon Trace's departure, Bill Corbett took over Crow's operation and thus his voice became rougher, though Corbett's voice began to settle in and became more natural in episode 804, [[The Deadly Mantis]]. Crow's consequent voice change developed during his 500+ years of solitude on the Satellite of Love while Mike and the other SOL inhabitants played at the edge of the universe as pure essences. Joel wryly noted when he dropped in during ''[[Soultaker]]'' that Crow had "changed his bowling pin," thus altering his voice. The show's writers later made a joke of the change in episode 904, ''[[Werewolf]]'', by suggesting that Crow's inherent characteristics included a change of voice every seven years. |
||
| + | Crow's frame is made of advanced materials including [[:wikipedia:Molybdenum|molybdenum]]<ref>[[MST3K 814 - Riding with Death|Episode #814 - ''Riding with Death'']]</ref> (which is used for armor and aircraft parts and would have been found on a ship made by Gizmonics), and high-density {{w|Kevlar}}. On occasions when he has to wear formal attire (such as Joel's attempt at having a family photo), Crow has been known to have his net on backwards and upside down, to give the impression of slicked-back hair. He also occasionally inverts his net when donning some sort of head-gear, such as a helmet. |
||
| + | ==Works by Crow T. Robot== |
||
| − | Another noticable difference between the two performances is that Trace's Crow is more animated, often "interacting" with the film (such as listening to train tracks in ''[[Radar Secret Service#The Short|Last Clear Chance]]'' or eating chicken feed in ''[[The Brute Man#The Short|The Chicken of Tomorrow]]''). Corbett attributes this to Trace being a more skilled puppeteer, and on some occasions has jokingly justified the change by claiming Crow had a stroke some time during his isolation. |
||
| + | Crow has creative ambitions and has written several plays and/or screenplays, as well as producing several documentaries. |

||
| + | *'''[[Trace Beaulieu]]''' ([[1988]]-[[1996]], [[2008]], [[2013]], [[2014]]) |
||
| + | **Beaulieu performed Crow in the initial [[MST3K K00 - The Green Slime|pilot]] and throughout most of [[Season K]]. He continued in the role during the entirety of the [[The Comedy Channel|Comedy Channel]]/[[Comedy Central]] years. He left the show at the end of [[Season 7]]. |
||
| + | **He also performed Crow in the ''[[MST3K Little Gold Statue Preview Special]]'' and ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie]]''. |
||
| + | **He returned to the role of Crow in the "[[MST3K Volume 10 Upgrade to 10.2]]" seminar sketch that appears on the DVD for ''[[MST3K 402 - The Giant Gila Monster|The Giant Gila Monster]]'' in ''[[The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection, Volume 10.2]]''. |
||
| + | **In 2013, he joined [[Joel Hodgson]] in voicing their characters for a cameo during {{w|Arrested Development (season 4)|Season 4}} of ''[[Arrested Development]]'' on [[Netflix]]. |
||
| + | **In 2014, Beaulieu returned to the role for the [[Turkey Day '14]] marathon and the concurrently released ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Turkey Day Collection]]'' DVD box set. In both of these appearances, the Crow puppet was operated by puppeteer [[Grant Baciocco]]. |
||
| + | * '''[[Josh Weinstein]]''' ([[1988]]) |
||
| + | **Beaulieu was unavailable for the recording of the [[MST3K K01 - Invaders from the Deep|first episode of the show]] and Weinstein stepped in to perform Crow. Beaulieu would prove unavailable again for [[MST3K K05 - Gamera|Episode #K05 - ''Gamera'']], so Weinstein again voiced Crow for a brief segment, which was repeated for the next few episodes, covering Beaulieu's absence. |
||
| + | *'''[[Bill Corbett]]''' ([[1997]]-[[1999]], [[2005]], [[2020]]) |
||
| + | **Corbett took over the role of Crow for [[Season 8]] on [[The Sci-Fi Channel]], remaining in the role through [[Season 10]] and the end of the initial run. |
||
| + | **He returned to the role in 2005, voicing Crow (over stock footage) in an episode of ''[[Cheap Seats]]'' alongside [[Michael J. Nelson]] (as [[Mike Nelson]]) and [[Kevin Murphy]] (as [[Tom Servo]]). |

| + | **Corbett returned to Crow again in 2020, voicing the character in [[Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The MIGIZI Fundraiser Shorts|two shorts]] alongside [[Joel Hodgson]] (as [[Joel Robinson]]) and [[Josh Weinstein]] (as [[Tom Servo]]). |
||
| + | **It had been announced that Corbett would return as Crow in 2022 for the "Joel" episodes of [[Season 13]], but he ultimately did not participate. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | **Chaplin voiced Crow in the 2007 [[Mystery Science Theater 3000 (animated series)|animated series of ''MST3K'']], appearing in all four episodes. |
||
| + | *'''[[Hampton Yount]]''' ([[2015]]- ) |
||
| + | **Yount began voicing Crow during the ''[[Bring Back MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000]]'' campaign to finance the show's revival and appeared in all promotional appearances through pre-production. |
||
| + | ** He performed Crow in both [[Season 11]] and [[Season 12|12]]. Crow was operated again by Baciocco, with additional operation by [[Carla Rudy]]. |
||
| + | **Yount also performed Crow for the 2017 [[Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live! - Watch Out for Snakes! Tour]]. |
||
| + | **He returned as Crow in 2022 for the Jonah episodes of [[Season 13]]<ref>[https://tv.avclub.com/exclusive-joel-hodgson-says-it-s-time-to-makemoremst3-1846634073 Exclusive: Joel Hodgson says it’s time to #MakeMoreMST3K]</ref>, with both Yount and Baciocco credited for puppeteering. |
||
| + | *'''[[Grant Baciocco]]''' ([[2018]] - [[2019]]) |
||
| + | **In addition to on-screen puppeteering of Crow for various projects, Baciocco performed Crow for the [[Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live - 30th Anniversary Tour]] in 2018. |
||
| + | **Baciocco also voiced Crow for the Twitch-streamed live special ''[[Totino's Proudly Presents Mystery Science Theater 3000 The PODComic!]]'' in 2019. |
||
| + | *'''[[Nate Begle]]''' ([[2019]]-[[2022]]) |
||
| + | **Begle first performed Crow alongside Joel Hodgson in [[Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live - The Great Cheesy Movie Circus Tour]] in 2019.<ref>https://mst3klive.com/cast/</ref> |
||
| + | **In 2020, he performed Crow for ''[[The MST3K LIVE Social Distancing Riff-Along Special]]'', promos for [[Pluto TV]], ''[[The Second Annual Puppet Camp and Startling Conclusion of the MIGIZI Fundraiser!]]'' and the [[MST3K SHORT - A Busy Day at the County Fair (live cast)|"live cast" riff]] of the short ''[[A Busy Day at the County Fair (short)|A Busy Day at the County Fair]]''. |
||
| + | **In 2021, he played Crow alongside [[Emily Marsh]] (as [[Emily Connor]]) for the [[Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live - Time Bubble Tour]], before taking paternity leave partway into the tour. |
||

||
| + | *'''[[Kelsey Ann Brady]]''' ([[2021]]- ) |
||
| + | **Brady, a "swing puppeteer" for the Time Bubble Tour and Crow's understudy, stepped into the role for several dates following Begle's departure on paternity leave. |
||

||
| + | ====Additional==== |
||
| + | *[[Oliver Welke]] voiced Crow in the German dub of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie]]''. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Beaulieu returned to voice Crow in a special feature on the DVD for ''[[The Giant Gila Monster]]'' and in a cameo along with Joel on Season 4 of Netflix's ''Arrested Development''. |
||
| + | Crow is a gold-colored puppet composed of, among other things, a split bowling pin mouth (an Empire Plastics Toy "e" style Bowling Pin), a hockey face guard "net" (Cooper XL7 FG), a vacu-formed Soap dish for an eye-socket (Schwartz Bros), Ping-Pong ball eyes painted Krylon Fluorescent Yellow, a Tuppercraft (Floralier) body with black 4-inch drainage tubing glued between the two trays, arms made from two Wallace Leisure Products "Alpha" or "Genie" fluorescent swing-arm type desk lamps (which have since become rare) with foam pipe insulation around the outer-parts of the lamp arm, and Italian Fanny Pinchers for hands. He is painted with Testors Gold Metalflake paint, accent with flat black spray paint. |
||
| + | During the [[KTMA]] season, Crow's torso consisted of only one floralier tray, his arms were made from PVC pipe with pipe insulation tied to the tray, and his eyes were glued to an entire Schwartz Bros. soap dish, which didn't include a separate eye movement mechanism, leaving them with a more bulging appearance. The KTMA also used a less expensive gold paint. |
||
| − | During the [[Turkey Day '14]] online show, Trace returned once again as the voice of Crow alongside [[Josh Weinstein]] as the voice of Tom Servo. Crow commented on the change, claiming to "miss my other voice...". |
||
| + | Another version of Crow is used for the theater segments. This version is painted flat black and instead of Italian fanny pinchers for hands, he has claw parts from a Toysmith Robot Claw toy. This flat black version was also used as his Doppelganger "[[Timmy]]" in Episode #416. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | Crow's appearance slightly changed over course of the series. At the start of the Sci-Fi Channel episodes, his beak was changed to a shorter "crown" style Empire Bowling pin (As Joel observed in ''[[MST3K 1001 - Soultaker|Soultaker]]'' "You changed your bowling pin"), he became noticeably smaller and his eyes went from light pastel yellow to a luminescent neon yellow. Crow also has seldom-seen legs made from swing-arm type desk lamps and Toysmith robot claws or 1/2 inch 45 degree and elbow 1/2" CPVC couplings. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | For [[Season 11]], Crow's limbs and hands were changed. The arms and legs are now made from two desk lamps per limb while the hands are scaled up versions of the old ones. The arms are now connected to control rods, making Crow's arms articulated at the shoulders, elbow, and hands. |
||
| − | == Crow Syndrome == |
||
| − | The "Crow Syndrome" is a cliché and frequent joke on the show and [[Wikipedia:MSTing|MSTings]], wherein Crow chimes in with an off-topic and/or excessively lewd comment and the other two reprimand him, often bemusedly and perturbedly shouting "Crow!" in response. "Crow Syndrome" is a general term, and is used in MSTings that do not feature Crow or other regular characters.<ref>[http://quasispace.org/joinus/QPTFAQ.htm Web Site Number 9 MSTing FAQ, question 3.4]</ref>. As Crow is not a character in the [[Cinematic Titanic]] series, this duty is taken over by [[J. Elvis Weinstein]]. |
||
| + | During shots of Crow where the legs are seen, they now use two desk lamps per leg, with the feet being filled in and scaled up versions of the hands. Crow now has a larger waist, being made from a cut floralier piece with tubing on top of it, attaching to the bottom of the lower floralier. The legs now also have knee caps cut from bowling pins. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | *Crow made a brief cameo (along with Tom Servo) at the end of the online [[Turkey Day '13|Turkey Day '13 Marathon]], joining Joel at the dinner table. Neither of them were shown speaking. |
||

| “ | That's one O! | ” |
| - Crow |
Crow T. Robot is one of the robotic companions built by Joel Robinson to help him stave off insanity while forced by the Mads to watch films as part of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 experiment. He is easy-going and naïve, yet prone to deliver the most sarcastic remarks. Crow's middle initial stands for "The", making his full name "Crow The Robot."
Biography
Crow, like his fellow robots Tom Servo, Gypsy, and Cambot, was built by Gizmonic Institute janitor Joel Robinson, who created them to help him withstand the torment of watching bad movies on the Satellite of Love, where Joel was trapped by mad scientists Dr. Clayton Forrester and Dr. Laurence Erhardt.
Once, Joel performed maintenance on Crow's RAM chips, and showed what he claimed was Crow's first memory. During the "memory", Joel explains that Crow's name is an acronym for "Cybernetic Remotely Operated Woman". Back in the present, Crow was shocked to discover that he's a woman, and instantly started worrying about the dishes and watching Thirtysomething. Joel chuckled and explained, "Take it easy, Crow. It's all just a real elaborate joke... I basically invented you to put that memory in and pull that joke on you." Crow calmed down, stating "So my life has been one big setup for a punchline? Boy, I feel like Morey Amsterdam."[1]
After Kinga Forrester and Max escaped from their trap, Jonah gave Crow an upgrade: the ability to blink.[2]
A duplicate of Crow was built for the Simulator of Love. This Crow has a more feminine voice, but otherwise seems to be identical to the Crow on the Satellite of Love.[3]
Traits
Crow is easy-going and quick-witted, but snarky and opinionated. He often delivers the most sarcastic remarks and is the most frequent quipper on the show. After the SOL crew's return from the edge of space, Crow was noticeably more irritable, caustic, and impatient with the movies than he previously had been, apparently as a result of being alone on the SOL for over five-hundred years while the rest of the crew was pure energy.
Crow describes himself as using cyber-based bubble memory, working off Unix and could use a variety of operating systems, underwent a complex personal evolution wherein painful confusion had given way to what he liked to think of as some degree of wisdom culminating in his current Zarasthustrian sense of self, often panics when making sandwiches, smells conspiracy in everything and doesn't know what he means most of the time.[4]
Crow is somewhat prone to injury, as he gets blown up, cut in half, shattered, set on fire, or falls from great heights. He has also suffered bouts of vertigo, as he experienced nausea and dizziness from the unusual layout of the credits for Warrior of the Lost World[5] and Beginning of the End.[6]
His favorite condiment on a hot dog is relish.[7] During the Tribute to Gamera vs Guiron, Jonah (as Anti-Jonah) identified Anti-Crow's favorite candy as Rolos. It is not clear if this means that they are also regular Crow's favorite candy, or if regular Crow hates Rolos.
At the conclusion of Experiment #324, Crow named Kafka's The Castle as his favorite movie, but it is unclear if he meant the 1964 Danish version or the 1968 West German version. This confused Tom, who had thought that Crow's favorite movie was Zardoz. Crow also liked Willow.
Crow was identified on a Dungeons & Dragons Alignment Chart as the previously-unknown category Chaotic Chaos.
Notable Adventures
During Experiment #416, Crow acquired a double named "Timmy", to whom the crew quickly took a liking. However, the double began playing tricks on Tom Servo and Joel, who blamed Crow for the actions. He eventually joined them in the theater during the movie and attacked Tom, cocooning him in a matter identical to the xenomorph from Alien, forcing Joel and Crow to stuff him into an airlock and blast him out of the ship and into space.
Alone among the bots, Crow once conducted a mission to Deep 13. During Experiment #615, he slid down the Umbilicus in an attempt to bring the SOL back to Earth, but retreated back up to the satellite after being caught by Dr. Forrester, who then had Frank put a giant mousetrap beneath the Umbilicus—only to accidentally set off the trap on himself.
During Experiment #616, Crow was inspired by the short Are You Ready for Marriage? to ask Mike for Tom Servo's hand in marriage. During the wedding ceremony, everyone starts wrestling, prompting them all to forget the whole affair.
Crow once traveled to the past, attempting to prevent Mike from getting trapped working for the Mads, only to have to go back and stop himself in order to save Mike's life. Due to a time paradox, one of the Crows was evidently left behind and may still be living in Wisconsin, working at a cheese factory.[8]
Relationships
Crow during the SciFi Era
The bots regard Joel as a father figure, while Mike was more of an older brother type. Crow stated that he did not dislike Jonah, but he (like Tom) was disinterested in Jonah's apparent death and the subsequent story of how he survived. Similarly, the Crow from the Simulator of Love has not shown any particular affection or hostility towards either Emily or Joel.
Pearl Forrester would often refer to Crow as "Art" and appeared to have closer relationship with him than would seem likely, as evidenced by his invitation to the Forrester Thanksgiving dinner alongside such guests as Mr. B. Natural, Pitch the Devil, and others.[9]
During Experiment #403, Crow became enamored of Kim Cattrall, one of the stars of the film City Limits. He went so far as to write a song about her. When he later became infatuated with Estelle Winwood during Experiment #411, he also wrote her a song as well. He expressed a similar attraction to Mrs. Hargrove of The Deadly Bees during Experiment #905 and he wrote her a sonnet. He also expressed an attraction to Adrienne Barbeau.
During the Tribute to Future War event, Jonah referred to the Sci-Fi Channel-era Crow as "Mike's Crow", acknowledging that they are different entities. Jonah's Crow (for lack of a better term) then revealed that he had knowledge of the other Crow's experiences. It is not clear how he got this information.
Appearance
Crow's frame is made of advanced materials including molybdenum[10] (which is used for armor and aircraft parts and would have been found on a ship made by Gizmonics), and high-density Kevlar. On occasions when he has to wear formal attire (such as Joel's attempt at having a family photo), Crow has been known to have his net on backwards and upside down, to give the impression of slicked-back hair. He also occasionally inverts his net when donning some sort of head-gear, such as a helmet.

Construction
Crow is a gold-colored puppet composed of, among other things, a split bowling pin mouth (an Empire Plastics Toy "e" style Bowling Pin), a hockey face guard "net" (Cooper XL7 FG), a vacu-formed Soap dish for an eye-socket (Schwartz Bros), Ping-Pong ball eyes painted Krylon Fluorescent Yellow, a Tuppercraft (Floralier) body with black 4-inch drainage tubing glued between the two trays, arms made from two Wallace Leisure Products "Alpha" or "Genie" fluorescent swing-arm type desk lamps (which have since become rare) with foam pipe insulation around the outer-parts of the lamp arm, and Italian Fanny Pinchers for hands. He is painted with Testors Gold Metalflake paint, accent with flat black spray paint.
During the KTMA season, Crow's torso consisted of only one floralier tray, his arms were made from PVC pipe with pipe insulation tied to the tray, and his eyes were glued to an entire Schwartz Bros. soap dish, which didn't include a separate eye movement mechanism, leaving them with a more bulging appearance. The KTMA also used a less expensive gold paint.
Another version of Crow is used for the theater segments. This version is painted flat black and instead of Italian fanny pinchers for hands, he has claw parts from a Toysmith Robot Claw toy. This flat black version was also used as his Doppelganger "Timmy" in Episode #416.
Crow's appearance slightly changed over course of the series. At the start of the Sci-Fi Channel episodes, his beak was changed to a shorter "crown" style Empire Bowling pin (As Joel observed in Soultaker "You changed your bowling pin"), he became noticeably smaller and his eyes went from light pastel yellow to a luminescent neon yellow. Crow also has seldom-seen legs made from swing-arm type desk lamps and Toysmith robot claws or 1/2 inch 45 degree and elbow 1/2" CPVC couplings.
For Season 11, Crow's limbs and hands were changed. The arms and legs are now made from two desk lamps per limb while the hands are scaled up versions of the old ones. The arms are now connected to control rods, making Crow's arms articulated at the shoulders, elbow, and hands.
During shots of Crow where the legs are seen, they now use two desk lamps per leg, with the feet being filled in and scaled up versions of the hands. Crow now has a larger waist, being made from a cut floralier piece with tubing on top of it, attaching to the bottom of the lower floralier. The legs now also have knee caps cut from bowling pins.
For the Cheesy Movie Circus Tour, Crow's lower body was altered further. He could now freely move around the stage (which he did via unicycle and pogo stick) due to the bunraku style of puppetry. He was shown to have three prominent toes. During a scene in which Crow performed as a weight-lifter, his lower legs were a string of balls. A new ball-spring joint mechanism was built into his neck to allow him to look up and down.
As of 2022, Crow lost the ability to move the eyes in his soap dish, but he can now blink.

Optical Illusion
Many first-time viewers of the series are confused by Crow's appearance during the movie segments. Only the outline of his head can be seen, and (due to multistable perception) it can appear as if Crow is facing toward the viewer. Best Brains have compared this to a Necker Cube.
Running gags
- The Crow-as-Art gag arose from a host segment in Episode #203, in which Joel introduces the bots in the style of Jackie Gleason at the end of every episode of The Honeymooners. Joel calls each one out individually to take a bow, referring to Crow as "Art Crow!", a reference to the enthusiastic way that Gleason would introduce his long-time partner Art Carney. Later, Best Brains received a letter from a child named Shanon who had evidently missed the cultural reference and labeled a drawing of Crow as "Art". The letter was read in Episode #402, and the writers were so taken with it that it became a recurring joke.[23] The joke surfaced outside MST3K itself. Trace Beaulieu appeared in the Paul Feig-created comedy Other Space, which premiered in 2015, voicing a robot named A.R.T. opposite Joel Hodgson.
Pop Culture Appearances
- A silhouette of a robot resembling Crow also appeared in the Futurama episode "Raging Bender" . The robot was in the audience of a movie theater alongside a robot that resembled Tom, shushing Fry and ironically telling him that it's not polite to talk while a movie is playing.
