(heavy sigh) Norman Krasner, the original short (Not the first one riffed but I think the Norman short). A short film about a man who needs to poop but can't afford it, finds out the guy in the next stall is DTF after feeling him up, wipes his rear end with the Mona Lisa, and is forever imprisoned.

I don't know if it is anywhere close to the funniest riff but this is certainly a strange short. And why is it black and white in 1974?!

They were cheap short films that HBO commissioned as time filler.

What's the short where it's nothing but children horrifically injuring themselves on an abandoned construction site? I don't remember the name but it's basically the child equivalent of Shake Hands with Danger.

I asked that here when the Riff came out. Best guess is he owed the Clarks some favors or something.

My favorite part of that short was the ending theme song performed by someone who could've made a career as a Debbie Harry impersonator.

I think "the calendar: how to use it " is still one of my personal favs due to the memorable jackson browne impersonator playing the guitar on it

The toymaker as allegory for God is messed up because it implies God is a puppet master who starts and stops violence on a whim.

Shorts Extravaganza tomorrow! I saw Trace and Frank do a short about office etiquette when they came to town, wonder if that's the one they're bringing.

Uninvited is pretty great. It's one I've been hoping they would do for a while now, and the wait was worth it!

Man, I am disappointed the theater I usually go to for Rifftrax Live stuff doesn't have today's show for some reason. I hope this is just a "Too many summer blockbusters out at once" thing and not a permanent issue.

anyone else at tonight's Rifftrax show? I'm a little worried because my theatre is playing a TMBG song but the lyrics are barely audible. I was wondering if this was everywhere or out theatre.

Really wanted to see this tonight, but they skipped the nearby theater for all of them this year. Which is a shame, since we'd been getting the live shows since they started.
