===Reunions===
In 2008, to commemorate the show's 20th anniversary, the principal cast and writers from all eras of the show reunited for a panel discussion at [[San Diego Comic-Con]], which was hosted by actor-comedian [[Patton Oswalt]] (who would later go on to star in the revived series). The event was recorded and included as a bonus feature on the 20th Anniversary DVD release via [[Shout! Factory]]. Also that year, original ''MST3K'' cast members Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu and Frank Conniff reunited to shoot a brief sketch to be included on the DVD release of ''[[The Giant Gila Monster]]''.<ref name="wired-gila-dvd">{{cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/2008/01/joel-the-bots-r/|title=Joel & The 'Bots Return for Brief DVD Reunion|magazine=Wired|access-date=2021-11-26|date=2008-01-30|archive-date=November 26, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211126150318/https://www.wired.com/2008/01/joel-the-bots-r/|url-status=live}}</ref> The new disc was added to Volume 10 of the "MST3K Collection" DVD boxed set series, replacing the ''[[Godzilla vs. Megalon]]'' disc which could no longer be sold due to licensing conflicts. The new package was sold under the name "Volume 10.2", and the sketch was presented as a seminar to instruct consumers on how to "upgrade" their DVD set, which merely consists of "disposing" of the old disc and inserting the new one.

In 2013, Joel Hodgson and Trace Beaulieu reprised their roles as Joel Robinson and Crow T. Robot for cameo appearances in the fourth season of ''[[Arrested Development]]''.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://slate.com/culture/2013/06/arrested-development-smashed-recap-tobias-is-a-terrible-theralist.html | title = Arrested Development, Season 4 | first1 = Torie | last1 = Bosch | first2 = Chris | last2 = Wade | date = June 3, 2013 | access-date = November 26, 2021 | website = [[Slate (magazine)|Slate]] | archive-date = November 26, 2021 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20211126150319/https://slate.com/culture/2013/06/arrested-development-smashed-recap-tobias-is-a-terrible-theralist.html | url-status = live }}</ref>

As part of its live show events for 2016, RiffTrax presented a ''MST3K'' reunion at a live show in Minneapolis in June 2016. Hodgson, Bridget Nelson, Pehl, Conniff, and Beaulieu all joined the three regulars along with Jonah Ray from the revived series. The gathered cast riffed on a variety of shorts as part of the event.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.avclub.com/get-involved-internet-rifftrax-is-putting-together-an-1798245007 | title = Get Involved, Internet: RiffTrax is putting together an MST3K reunion show | first = William | last = Hughes | date = March 9, 2016 | access-date = March 23, 2016 | website = [[The A.V.
