Courtesy: A Good Eggsample

Courtesy is a great short, highly recommended by me. It's obvious that someone in the production process really thought the idea of EggWorld was hilarious and took it way farther than it needed to. The actual content is pretty lackluster, but it's just such a strange concept that the guys have a lot of material to work with.

My favorite part is when Kevin criticizes the buildings and Bill just says "Really debunked the logic of the egg themed courtesy short."

Also what is it with shorts about courtesy being bizarre, between this and "Courtesy Counts A Lot!" I don't understand how these work.

Guess that explains the homosexuality & orange juice references.

They did that one live in SF at the Castro Theater. Everyone booed when her name hit the credits.

Bought "Mesa," and wanted to jump right back in and pick up some shorts that I don't have using the coupon that was supposed to come with my confirmation email. I never got the email or the coupon.

This happen to anyone else?

I just got my coupon today in an apologetic email from them for not sending it sooner. If you don't get yours shortly, you should probably contact them.

Mesa is a great rifftrax, too.

I love how they go through all that effort talking up and getting that machine gun and then the director realized they didn't have any special effects budget so they never actually shoot it.

I loved the hype-video Rifftrax put up for that short, in which it drives Mike and others to madness:

I like to think that Carradine just showed up on set and started ranting, while Jerry Warren just went "Hey...let's just splice some footage of this in!"

Of all the shorts they have done, this one sticks out as having absolutely NO reason to have been made. Zero educational or teaching value. I can explain any other short they've watched, but this one... it's... I beg anyone, anywhere, please, why was this created?

Edit: On another note, I think Laser Mission is my favorite VOD. It's just so drat goofy as a movie, and so badly thought out and edited... The guys just have a ball with it, AND it's a funny movie on its own.

Because sometimes recess gets called on account of rain.

Also, to the people complaining that a single movie can't possibly be riffed twice; Cinematic Titanic did Santa Claus Conquers the Martians back in 2008, and I think they came close to making the same riffs a handful of times.

I said it in the Manos HD thread, but there was a short that both MST3K and Rifftrax did. It was "What About Juvenile Delinquency?", it was on The Atomic Brain and as a short. They did not repeat a single joke to the best of my knowledge.

That's probably because it's a Soviet education short completely redubbed.

I think the point was either to teach about aquarium care or maybe about betta fish. It'd make a great companion short for Devil Fish, though.

Well, we found it. The Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny of horror films. Read that again. Reflect on it. Maybe discuss it with your local librarian, or, better yet, one of the pungent men who spends all day on a library computer glancing over his shoulder nervously as he “does internet research.” The Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny of horror films. A bold claim, especially when you consider that Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny is arguably a horror film itself, based on the raw metric tonnage of nightmares it’s produced.
Just like that holiday classic, Curse of Bigfoot feels like an insane sandwich slapped together by Dagwood Bumstead after an extended opium binge, maybe Peanut Butter & Tacks & Pimento Loaf & a laserdisc of Newsies. A film within a film within a damp cardboard box within a film. Some highlights: a hideous papier-mâché creature (Bigfoot?) gradually approaches a woman feeding her dog for five continuous minutes. A high school teacher, apparently of the common high school subject “Monsters,” forces his students to listen to a guest speaker who would never be allowed within 500 feet of any school. Logging. Lots of logging. Logger deaths. And, to wash it all down and make sense of everything, a vintage monster movie stapled to the end, featuring a monster who may or may not be Bigfoot (it definitely isn’t Bigfoot). You don’t want to miss this.

Coming on Tuesday! :dance:

I love the plot summary from Wikipedia:

quote:

A college Biology class receives a visitor, who is a good friend of their teacher. He tells them of an encounter that he and their teacher had 20 years before while searching for Indian artifacts in the nearby mountains. They find a mummuified corpse in a cave that resembles a rough-hewn statue. The mummy is brought back to their lodge and breaks out of its wrappings. It goes on a short rampage in what appears to be an orchard. The humans gather together to stop the creature before it can kill any one.

"Well, we found it. The Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny of horror films."

So the movie wanders off into some other plot that's told by another person entirely? Do we not see Bigfoot until the very end of the movie when he takes the narrator away? What does a Bigfoot sound like when it cries out?

"Hur hur hurrrrrr".

I have to admit that putting a Mummy movie into a movie about Bigfoot pretty much makes just as much sense as Thumbelina in a Christmas movie.
