Well, I generally find Crow to be a bit of an adolescent, and he is
renouned for using ***ual innuendo in his riffs. He also tends to be a
bit more impulsive, and will comment on the movie in general as well as
bits of dialogue.
With Tom, the thing I really remember about him is that whenever
there's a riff involving a song, it's usually him singing. He is also
a bit more emotional than the other two, so he's more likely to break
down in tears or have a screaming fit during the movie than either Crow
or Mike. He also tends to do a lot of "announcer voice" riffs.
As for Mike, he generally gets the less memorable riffs, the comedy
gold usually going to Tom and Crow. However, he does tend to satirize
narrators. I have more experience with watching Joel, so I can't
really offer much advice on Mike.
My advice would be to comb through the MSTing Mine (a rather nice
archive of old MSTings) and try and get a better feel for the
characters there. The address is below.
