I have to go with Last Clear Chance.

Why don't they look Paul....why don't they look?

Catching Trouble, but only with the following Catching Ross skit. It's cathartic.

On its own, it's a toss-up between Mr. B Natural, Here Comes the Circus, and Posture Pals.

This discussion put me in a clickhole on YouTube and I really enjoyed Once Upon a Honeymoon. I even got a joke I didn't get before - "I wrote this one for Scott Thorson." Thanks, Behind there Candelabra!

Also really enjoyed Why Study Industrial Arts. And who can forget Hired! 2

Reminds me of the one Rifftrax did, "Paper and I", which just. Keeps. Going. On. About. The. South.

Of course, even those don't hold a candle to "Setting Up A Room" in terms of mind-numbing insanity.

I sort of want to become rich enough that I can bribe Rifftrax and MST3K to hold a contest for people to make the most sincere movie they can make while still being riffable. The the winner(s) will then be riffed.

The Rifftrax short Fun in Balloonland was another trip down the path to insanity. Although I do love the drunken mom commentary during the parade bits.

Chicken of Tomorrow was a fantastic short with so many great one liners.

Frank's book was out of stock yesterday, but now it's back. There's also a Kindle edition.

For an experienced reader there's also Ask Me Anything: Our Adventures With Khrushchev, also by Frank Conniff and some other dude.

After buying the book, I saw a link to Jackie Neyman Jones' "Manos" memoir, and the forward by Joel Hodgson is in the sneak peak section. It's a pretty interesting behind-the-scenes description of how films were vetted and selected.

Here's the link
