Setting Up a Room is very, very high on the list of "why does this even exist?" I can accept the existence of What is Nothing more than this. Whatever its point was, at least it tried to make it over the course of maybe 8 minutes and the kids occasionally emoted. Setting Up a Room is 27 minutes of the most droll interactions ever put on film. It's mind-destroying madness. Despite all the boring pointlessness, the real big laugh comes from a major blooper that they decide not to acknowledge or even remove in any way.

Very reminiscent of the moment in Ice Cream Bunny when Mike says "For the first time, we here at Rifftrax have nothing to say." "Only this. Enjoy." Yes, enjoy your trip into madness.

I made it eight minutes into Setting Up A Room before the screaming madness overcame me. I'll try some more tomorrow. I also went for the At Your Fingertips series. Apparently, there are four more (cylinders, floats, pure clay, sugar and spice) and I can't wait! I love shorts which cause audible anguish to the riffers.

30 goddamn minutes of setting up a room. Amazing. "It's like dancing!  " "I've never danced  "

Down And Out is great. It's a workplace safety video that was on one of their DVDs, and it's easily my favorite short, and it has my favorite line in all the shorts. http://www.rifftrax.com/shorts/down-and-out

IUG posted:Down And Out is great. It's a workplace safety video that was on one of their DVDs, and it's easily my favorite short, and it has my favorite line in all the shorts. My personal faves: Story of a Teenage Drug Addict - Like "Reefer Madness", but less hysterical (in every sense of the word). The riffing is great though, as Bill gets plenty of chances to bust out his Noo Yawk accent. And the phrase "We shattered the headboard" will haunt you forever. Coffeehouse Rendezvous - Apparently in Wisconsin in the 1960s, there was an explosion of underground coffeehouses. Kids would even go to church to get their coffee fix! Features a guest appearance by Emo Conan O'Brien. Your Chance to Live - Undead Dick Cavett hosts this 1970s treatise on the advantages of cultivating a healthy, active fear of "modern" technology. Telephone For Help - Kids learn how to use the telephone to call the police, fire department, and/or Batman. One character is apparently named Choice Evidence. And you'll never forget the appearance by the Marble-Mouthed Cop of Culver City. Don't Be a Bloody Idiot - I always enjoy it when the guys take on stuff from other countries, and this Australian wildnerness survival short doesn't disappoint. Features more usage of the word "bush" than every porn film ever made, combined.

The collision of US-Australian slang is so perfectly timed in Don't Be a Bloody Idiot. Dude talks about the bush while holding an actual Map of Tasmania, and remains completely oblivious to the double euphemism.

We can't forget the disparity between fiction and reality in the short, too, when it comes to Australia and knives.

God, Putting Together a Room is like No Exit meets Manos. And am I the only one who thought that the younger teacher looks like Anne Hathaway in a teen comedy before they give her nerd character a makeover?

I finally watched Setting Up A Room. Yep. It's pretty odd. The most head-scratching part of all of it is why they have to go through so much setup in the first place. It's almost post-apocolyptic. Why is the room is such disarray? Is it normal practice for teachers to disassemble a classroom to this degree at the end of the year?

When I was little we played with power tools and soldering irons, we had m-80's, pellet guns, and a real bow & arrow. We'd play lawn darts then climb on steel monkey bars and jungle gyms embedded in concrete. Then when we were tired we'd go to bed in highly flammable pajamas next to a kerosene lamp. Safety was a six letter word for communism. Then parents went all soft and gooey in the 90's and everything got wrapped in antibacterial bubble wrap.

Hey guys, don't mind me. I just came into this thread to make sure all the doors open properly and that there's nothing obstructing them. Okay? BECAUSE IF ONE OF YOU FUCKERS EVEN THINKS OF OBSTRUCTING A DOOR I WILL loving SLIT YOUR THROAT EAR TO EAR, PULL OUT YOUR TONGUE, AND poo poo DOWN YOUR THROAT IN FRONT OF YOUR WIFE AND KIDS. Oh dear. I'm not sure what came over me there. You see I'm just really serious about doors.

The alien bit is where I lost it. It's nice to know that as crazy as ACI films are, there are others just as or possibly more insane. This was the worst idea and yet the best idea. Those responsible are boring geniuses. Gavok posted:Despite all the boring pointlessness, the real big laugh comes from a major blooper that they decide not to acknowledge or even remove in any way.

I have NO WORDS I know that is said a lot for these shorts, but I have absolutely no idea what this entire short was about. 0% of it made any sense. I can't think of any reason that it might have seemed educational or even purposeful. Edit: Someone help me out, I seriously want to know what the gently caress was going on here.

I wonder if they would be able to get rights to a show from say, Mississippi Public Broadcasting. I rediscovered a show from my elementary school days called Tomes & Talismans, which is a thirteen episode futuristic sci-fi series about the Dewey decimal system of all things. It's pretty hilarious, and the bad guys are like a bunch of rejects from the old Mid South Wrestling. I posted it in the "suggest a trax" forum, and MPB was apparently cool with people uploading the episodes to YouTube so long as they got credited for it. But I doubt they would riff something split into multiple parts. Here's the first episode on YouTube: Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG5LzzjYhqU Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP3Gu2nx5Ak

I'm still not convinced that short actually existed. I think I imagined both that short and the commentary by Mike & Co. Because the only other logical conclusion is that Wikipedia actually might be a superior encyclopedia simply because they didn't make Join Hands, Let Go!

I watched Setting Up A Room.  What... what do I do with this knowledge? Am I expected to set up a room now? I mean, I think I could do it, but I don't know where I would even find one. And I can't write a floor plan because I have no clue how to draw a rectangle. Why the gently caress did they not cover important poo poo like that?
