I know, I know. I was thinking of characters who never made it into the theater and riffed. Besides random characters. I can't think of anyone one time characters who made it into the theater except Timmy.

Cambot did that ESPN scoreboard gag in Sidehackers.

In the Kickstarter update where he showed concept art for the new Cambot, Joel said that when brainstorming ideas for the new season he'd had the idea that Cambot works for the Mads. I'd never thought of it before (it's just a show, and all that), but it makes some sense that Cambot would've been the one bot that Joel didn't build.

I've got a lot of facts I want answered right now. Joel briefly discusses this in Kickstarter Update #30, "The Return of... Cambot!" It's a backers-only update so I won't quote it, but it's just a couple of sentences in which he muses that Cambot probably works for the Mads. e: ^^^

The Ape of Naples posted:There's a few Rifftrax shorts that are Mary Jo and Bridget. The Flashdance themed dentist one has one of the rare cases where one of the riffers almost loses it even in the final take. Bridget has a line where the girls in the short are spreading their legs for a routine and says something like "That'll put some snap in your retainer!" and MJ just loses it for about 10 seconds.

Cambot does actually riff in two episodes. He does a bunch of images making fun of the racing in Sidehackers and he cries in one of them when a security camera gets shot. Magic Voice also sort of riffs on a movie. She has a conversation with the narrator of The Atomic Brain. It's outside of the theater, but it is just dialog from the film. I don't think Brain Guy and Bobo (the characters, obviously) ever get into the theater, though. Frank, Dr. Forester, Pearl and Gypsy all have a go.

I always thought Cambot was a camera that the Mads used to watch Joel, and Joel made him a robot friend and altered him to project the footage to Earth for us to watch along.

bad posts ahead!!! posted:Bobo kinda sucks My memory is that he's just one joke, for the entirety of his run, and there's something about the makeup that limits Kevin Murphy's ability to do that one joke justice. I used to laugh a lot at the noise Brain Guy made when he was using his brain powers. I'm interested to see if I still do once I get back to him.

The skit from that era I like the best is when Pearl moves into the castle and tries to throw a ball but everyone comes over to watch Sliders in Brain Guy's room.

Bobo for me falls under "so annoying it's funny", but I still sort of wish there had been more to him. Observer I like a lot, the dynamic between him and Pearl is really fun, whereas Bobo just seems like a liability and it's not clear why they even keep him around.

I like Bobo but they never seemed to know how to write for him. There's a segment at the end of The Undead where Bobo is making a sandwich and it's obvious from the start that he's going to turn around and grab Observer's brain from the fridge and eat it on accident, but the skit goes on forever and it practically crawls to the punchline. It's almost excruciating to watch.

I loved when Frank was asking to have his soul, and Brain Guy responding that he was "barking up the wrong albino".

Now overtime I make a sandwich I hear "May-o-nnaise" in my head. Does anyone know where it's from?

Joel just sent out a new update introducing us to the voice of the new Gypsy, Rebecca Hanson. This might be her first time in the spotlight; she came up through Second City and has been writing, singing, and doing improv in Chicago for ten years, but I can't find any of her work on YouTube, unless she also dabbles in politics. Joel also shared some interesting thoughts he had about how Gypsy fits into the new show, and I gotta tell you -- I'm REALLY excited.

During the NYC screening on the 14th, Joel said this update would be out "tomorrow." Given his history with promising updates on specific days, I'm not surprised it took almost two weeks.

See the Mike's stereo bit from The Creeping Terror, the pee scene from Austin Powers, or the episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast where he follows an ant for most of the episode. I'm one of those. There's this scene in Urusei Yatsura where they're intimidated by having to walk up a huge stairway on a hillside, and the camera pans up slowly for 20 seconds to show how high it is, gets to a landing, pauses, and then scrolls up faster for 40 more seconds on an even higher stairway. It's literally an entire minute of dead air, but the longer it went on, the harder I laughed. That show is great for that type of humor. A couple more instances I recall were a character having enormously heavy weights on his feet and veeeery slowly making his way up some stairs, and Ataru teetering on his chair on two legs in the background of a scene, just on the brink of falling over, getting more desperate the whole time, but managing to keep from falling for again probably close to a minute.

It's probably my favorite skit. v  v
