Observer (aka '''Brain Guy''') is a fictional character on the '' Mystery Science Theater 3000 '' television series. He was played by Bill Corbett , and appeared on the eighth through tenth seasons of the series. Observer is a hyperintelligent, Psychic alien from a planet of fellow aliens confusingly sharing the name "Observer". They claim to be without bodies (despite obvious evidence to the contrary) and carry their bright-blue brains in large Petri Dish es rather than inside their (supposedly nonexistent) skulls. Observer joins the mad scientists ("The Mads") after his planet is inadvertently destroyed by Mike Nelson . Like his colleagues, Professor Bobo ( Kevin Murphy ) and Pearl Forrester ( Mary Jo Pehl ), Brain Guy is deeply Dysfunction al. Unlike Bobo and Pearl, Brain Guy apparently has a considerable social and sexual life once the show returns to Earth for Seasons 9 and 10. He is also said to have, as Professor Bobo put it, "B.O." (Body Odor). Observer denies this, citing that he doesn't have a body. Observer, upon joining the crew of "Mads", usually ends up being the one who sends the movies to the Satellite Of Love via his psychic abilities. Observer claims, like his fellow Observers, to be omniscient and omnipotent, much like '', but frequently fails to demonstrate these supposed abilities. Exposure to Pearl's autocratic manner also appears to degrade his powers over the course of the show. In the final episode, '' Diabolik '' (#1013), Pearl's playful dousing of his brain in Mountain Dew interferes with his speech and disables Brain Guy's gifts, allowing the Satellite Of Love to deorbit. |
