TwoThums’ Charlie Brown Tribute
I think most all of you are at least familiar with Charles Schultz’s iconic comics and cartoons featuring the Peanuts gang. For TwoThum’s entry he did a fantastic tribute that features sprite art, Lucy’s Psych Stand, Snoopy’s Dog house, the kite eating tree, Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree and more. To top it all off the dog house plays Vince Guaraldi’s “Charlie Brown Theme”, which you can hear in the video below, and stick around after the song for an incredible music video showing off all the parts of his entry.

::THIRD PLACE::
Mettaur_Meltdown’s MST3K Satellite of Love
This is an actual TO SCALE recreation of the iconic Satellite of Love and Pearl’s space Winnebago. The interior features every room ever seen in the show and new rooms interlocking them. He even figured out how to make the iconic series of doors opening to the theater. Utterly fantastic!. The best way to experience all of this is a video he made with a couple friends. The video is a little long but well worth the watch! You get to see all the glorious inner bits! And the DOORS! OMG THE DOORS!
