There should not be so much to laugh about in a movie where seven billion people die.

But you gotta admit, when the extinction of humanity is perpetrated by a guy in a rented gorilla suit who owns a bubble machine: that's pretty darn funny. That furry rascal got us good!

The gorilla is Ro-Man, and he's managed to pull off a pretty impressive feat: killing all but eight people on Earth. Most of us would probably kick back and call it a day at this point, but like a determined Twitch streamer, Ro-Man's determined to 100% this genocide before returning to his home planet.

Unfortunately, he didn't plan on one thing: two of the remaining people still being shockingly horny despite all the death, suffering, and mutant lizards that occasionally roll around biting each other. Alice agrees to marry Roy, despite him possessing what can generously be described as only 60% of a shirt. This enrages either the Robot or the Monster part of Ro-Man, and it's probably the Monster part since not a single aspect of him in any way resembles a robot.

The fate of the entire human race hangs in the balance, unless of course there's an embarrassingly preposterous twist that will wrap things up just when things look bleakest. Don't be a Pooped-Out Pinwheel, join Mike, Kevin, Bill, Jason, and McCloud for Robot Monster!

Decent riff.  It was always one of my favorite MST3K movies because it was just so god damn stupid.   This robot gorilla kills everything but 6 people despite living in a cave with two pieces of equipment.  Somehow, when there are only 6 left, one woman somehow makes him feel guilty.

I guess the 6 survivors are all hiding behind an electric barrier which obscures them from the robo-gorilla.  And they are all conveniently in walking distance of robo-gorilla's cave.  All they have to do is not walk directly up to the robo-gorilla but they can't seem to avoid doing that.
