   It doesn't get much better... Creepy scientist, gorilla costume, good sound with lots of pauses AND it's public domain!

2. The Nutshack

   I'm not sure if this counts as a short, it's a TV show, but I couldn't find a TV show suggestion function. So anyway, this is one of the worst cartoons ever made, and I think you could get some material out of this.

3. Brave Little Toaster

   I think you guys should riff the movie, Brave Little Toaster about 86'-88'. It seems like such a great cartoon you guys would love to riff! Freaky clown is included in the movie. I don't know why; it's a kids movie lol.

4. Lost TV Pilot: America 2100 (1978)

   Once again I bring another lost bizarre pilot from the late 70s. A year before Starstruck, ABC apparently greenlighted this disturbing concept reminiscent of Woody Allen's Sleeper, and later Futurama.

   But not in a really good way.

   Basically the premise goes something to this effect: two standup comedians down on their luck attempt to keep warm within their freezing hotel room. One decides to boil milk for some reason, while the other has them take some sleeping pills.

   Mysteriously as a result, the gas from the oven kills them, but the cold air somehow freezes them cryogenically, where they end up in suspended animation for 120 years. They are found by scientists who use cell rejuvenation to revive them into a bizarre world ran by a supercomputer called Max.

   The funny part is when they Dr. Karen Harland, played by Karen Valentine, who informs them what has happened why the guys ponder whether or not this whole thing is nothing more than a bad dream.

   Max (voiced by Sid Caesar) runs the world by appointing jobs to people when they are six. When the guys begin protesting the way of life here, Max consigns them both to the local zoo as specimens from the 'ancient 20th Century.' Meanwhile they plead their case to Karen by saying it's better to do things you want to do than being assigned, and she has always wanted to dance, leading to a brief montage of her dancing. Enjoying it, she pleads the guys' case to Max.

   Reluctantly Max decides to leave the guys in her care, where she can educate them on life in the 22nd Century, whereas they can teach them how life was in the 20th Century.

   So why should this bizarre pilot be riffed?

   1) Absurd pilot right off the bat: In Sleeper, Woody Allen's character Miles accidentally gets preserved due to a mishap at his hospital; In Futurama, Philip J. Fry accidentally falls into a cryo-chamber and is frozen for 1000 years. But here, you kind of wonder how exactly did these guys get saved from gas inhalation? Though Dr. Karen explains that allegedly in a split-second the cold air mixed with the gas freezes them into suspended animation, one wonders how did they remain in the hotel without anyone finding them. As Mike might ponder: what? Did Earth undergo a global disaster back in 1978 which caused these guys to be buried and well-preserved for 120 years?

   Then comes the odd fact when the guys are revived, they first think they are dreaming, then just accept the fact they've 'slept' for 120 years. Though you want to follow the MST3K mantra, and just relax, but you actually can't for the fact you're still wrapping your head around the fact of how these two guys somehow survived this long.

   2) The lack of futuristic things: One thing I learned about 'futuristic shows' of the 70s was that unless you had a really decent budget, you basically just had a show about people in jumpsuits and videophones with robots and that was about it. In America 2100, for the most part you see Dr. Karen in her futuristic outfit, the scientific looking room. Then Max as a robot, though he's a supercomputer. Sadly, the Jetsons this ain't. Even the House of the Future (aka 1999 AD) at least did a better job, and they were genuinely predicting the future.

   3) Max the supercomputer robot. Not since Crow, Tom and Gypsy have we seen a more hilarious mechanical character. Voiced by Sid Caesar, Max comes off more like a fussy old man than a omnipotent supercomputer. And strangely enough, he's pretty much what makes the show itself. I recall only enduring this long enough to see Max make more appearances.

   Overall America 2100 was also a bit of a trainwreck, though at least it was good there were no apes involved in this one.

   I originally attempted to find some clip to add to this to help you out, but apparently YouTube and Dailymotion have nothing to show. If any of you can find a clip or even the full video to this one, it would be appreciated.

   So whaddya think, sirs?

7. Catman In Lethal Track; Catman In Boxer's Blow

   If ever there were two movies destined for the Rifftrax crowd, it would be the two Catman "films." Simply the best things the early 90's, a man with a dream and a three hundred dollar budget ever produced. Being scratched by a cat gives a man super powers, so of course he then takes on drug cartels! Because... just because! I bought these two films (no one was as shocked as me that the DVD's actually played) or a combined total of one dollar. They were being sold at the grungiest Farmers Market that ever existed along side machetes and knock off Barbie dolls. That's quality guaranteed right there!

9. The Driver's Seat

   The Driver's Seat. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071442/
   Andy Warhol does the mannequins and Liz Taylor brings the batshit crazy. A pretty funny movie (and book) on its own, but, man, is this thing begging to be stabbed to death. Um, I mean riffed. Just don't wear anything stain-resistant. You've been warned! (This might be a good one for Mary Jo & Bridget, especially.)

11. Flika (2006)

    No, this is not the old "My Friend Flika" with Roddy McDowell. This is the 2006 remake version full of shame. A teenage girl disobeys her father and tries to ride a dangerous horse, falls off and bruises her back, but in the end it's all okay and she's the hero! What about that says "This can't be riffed?" Nothing! The acting is pretty bad, too. There are also two sequels that were even worse. They all need to be made fun of.

12. Dance or Die

    I saw this movie tonight and it's perfect Rifftrax fodder: a near-Miami Connection-level '80s fever dream of coke dealing, excessive violence, tasteless sex scenes, and lengthy choreographed dance numbers. The audience laughed throughout even without commentary. Please check it out!

13. extraordinary tales

    An animated anthology of several classic Poe stories.

    Why it should be riffed:

    1. Bella Lugosi narrates "The Telltale Heart"

    2. Frequent pauses in bad, over-dramatic dialogue (especially during "The Fall of the House of Usher")

    3. Edgar Allen Poe is inexplicably portrayed as a raven having an argument with Death (spoiler alert!: Death wins)

15. Dracula 2000 Trilogy (Dracula 2000; Dracula II: Ascension; Dracula III: Legacy)

    1. Dracula starts as Gerard Butler and ends up as Rutger Hauer.
    2. That one vampire who has a giant mouth for a face. Spoiler alert -apparently, you kill this type of vampire by shoving a plastic bottle of holy water into said mouth/face.
    3. Serious lack of continuity between the first movie and its direct-to-video sequels. Van Helsing's daughter is supposed to be Dracula's new keeper. Her sole job is to prevent Dracula from being unleashed on the world again. But that same night, his body falls into the hands of med students, who of course proceed to reanimate him. Oops. Bonus reasons: Vampire hunting priest played by Jason Scott Lee, with Jason London as his sidekick. Vampire clowns. Confusing subplots. Dracula's compulsion to count things, and his love of rock music videos. I could go on. I'm actually rather fond of these movies:)

16. Young Cycle Girls

    This movie is comedy gold, especially with the silly Cruisin Down The Road song throughout the movie. It's Easy Rider with girls, riding across the country, meeting strange characters and then when they reach their destination they all get shot and killed. The end.
