I love the Shorts. Good Eating Habits and Know For Sure are hilarious. However, no one here has mentioned yet how weird and disturbing Kitty Cleans Up is. Why they chose to riff that one is beyond me.

So has anyone seen the third Harry Potter riff yet? I loved the first two, but the preview for number 3 didn't look very good.

That said, I like really stupid humor based on puns so Rifftrax is right up my alley. I find the more I watch them the funnier they get because I've gotten used to the level of humor they tend to operate on.

Finally got my holiday iRiff up. Check out our take on Frosty Returns, the godawful follow-up to Frosty the Snowman. Only 75 cents. As for other holiday iRiffs, there's a really good take on the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas out there.

Dark Knight riff was pretty great, though its hard to get through a 2.5 hour riffed movie. There were a ton of great lines and much more to make fun of than I remembered. If it wasn't for its one extremely well written and well acted villain, DK would have been a clusterfuck. Recommended. Not that its directly related, but if you happen to have Netflix and like Rifftrax, I'd explore the Foreign Comedy section of the Netflix streaming content. The non-european films operate on comedic premises that are totally different than western films and thereby make for hilarious what-the-fucks as you try to figure out why the jokes might be funny in their native cultural context. The humor inversion sort of works the same as with riffs. "He said no?" "His wife said no - you know she runs that household." "May Allah save us from female dominance!" *pause for laughter*

If they're riffing a bland movie I still feel dead on the inside from the fact that I endured the movie. I found the lost Ark riff hilarious because it's not difficult to riff a movie that's fun. Appman fucked around with this message at 08:10 on Dec 24, 2008 |

Whelp it seems that boring adult talk has made my 11 year old niece a fan of Rifftrax. Christmas dinner was wrapping up and she was bored so I loaned her my Zune which has all the Riffshorts on it and she thought they were great. So I downloaded a couple for her and put them on her brand new iPod. Its funny but I was just like a year younger than she is now when I first started watching MST3K.

SAW has replaced Jurassic Park as my favorite RiffTrax. Line that had me in stitches: Jigsaw (via stupid clown doll thing), leaves a message for the guy wrapped in razor wire: "(victim name), you are a 44 year old white male in good health..." Kevin: (in jigsaw voice) "Well... bye!" I had forgotten how unbelievably lovely that movie was. This was the pinnacle of Rifftrax. When they kinda like a movie it can be really funny, but when they outright loving hate it, it's always so perfect. I also recently discovered something: Manos: The Hands of Fate without the MST3K is, of course, the most unwatchable movie in all of history. Aeon Flux, even with the benefit of the RiffTrax, is a close second. I have tried 3 loving times now to watch it and every time I sink into a depressing boredom. The rifftrax guys can't do a thing to break the boring tedium of that piece of poo poo. It's unbelievable. I sent Aeon Flux back to netflix and said "screw it" and just swallowed the money I spent on the track. Luckily Saw and Cloverfield put me back in a good mood.

Even though this isn't specifically a CT thread just wanted to point out that the next release is Jan 8th and is Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks.

So A New Hope is out. I have fingers toes and eyebrows crossed that this will be a good one. Of the recent riffs, I liked the Azkaban riff but hated the Dark Knight one. I personally found it the least funny riff they've done to date. I hope that was just an aberration though and ANH continues with the great history of Star Wars riffs.

Just finished Star Wars. Overall, I give it 8/10. Some harsh bits by Bill against the movie in general, but lots of funny stuff. It's always funny to me when the riffers make each other laugh during the riff.

Haha, the Willy Wonka Riff with Neil Patrick Harris is great. "Does Oompa Loompa have another meaning outside of their names? Because we wouldn't start a song by saying 'Hu-man be-ing Human Being!'"

The Wonka one is still my favorite but A New Hope was pretty good. The constant second guessing of the prequel trilogy was nice.

I apologize if already been mentioned, and considering where I'm posting, odds are high it may have been.....but didnt see so. To date, in my humble opinion, the rifftrax for Troll 2 (just watched it the other day) is amongst their best, and as would be, stars our very own Lowtax with Mike. It's a movie so corny it'd be hilarious w/o them, but they make it all that much funnier. dumbass edit: ok, so a simple utilization of "control-f" found me a number of Troll 2 references. My bad, sorry all, but I still vouch for it being one of their best. piratescurvy fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Jan 1, 2009 |

Hooray! The PAL version of Crystal Skull finally went up, so I'm having a Harrison Ford double bill today; Crystal Skull this morning, and Star Wars tonight. I enjoyed the new Indy one, so hopefully Star Wars will be as good or better...

Just watched ANH. It's easily my favourite rifftrax so far. Not a bum joke in the movie and most are genuinely laugh-your-rear end off type affairs. It really is hilarious and on the button. If you buy only one Rifftrax this year, buy this one.
