Crochet Tom Servo Will Make Fun of Your Yarn Projects

Everybody can stop with the geek-inspired crochet projects now. The contest is over and MageAkyla of Crafster has won the whole thing with this brilliant crochet Tom Servo from MST3k.

The only way this project could be any better is if it were bigger, or if there were thousands of crochet Tom Servos, or if MST3k was back on the air.

If you’re the crafty type, you can shoot for a tie in the aforementioned competition and make your own, as MageAkyla was kind enough to include not only a pattern for the body, but a breakdown of the other materials that went into the project.

John over at Boing Boing Gadgets dug up this awesome video from the classic Sci-Fi comedy show Mystery Science Theater 3000. Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot debate the pros and cons of PCs and Macs in a debate that still seems relevant nearly 17 years after this hilarious clip made its debut.

I can’t decide which is funnier, Crow and Tom Servo arguing over the finer points of the DOS command line, or the memories of what seemed like an endless wait for the overhyped System 7 operating system.

Of course, Joel presents the ultimate solution to the system wars – Amiga OS.

Oh, how I miss MST3K.
