  3. Something Wonderful Happens

    Something Wonderful Happens ia a 1957 short by General Electric pushing their "Live Better Electrically" campaign. But the sub plot of the boy Eric and his attraction to Kathy, a woman his mother's age, is downright creepy. https://youtu.be/rSFy2LKzFHk

  4. Iron sky 2

    If you've never seen Hitler riding a dinosaur on a spaceship, nows your chance. Lizard people rule from the center of earth . Odd, funny and in color.

  5. Donkey Baseball

    So, it's baseball. Played on donkeys. When I saw this video, I was in dumbfounded disbelief. Then I checked the internet and learned this was indeed a real thing. I'm still unsure if this was the pinnacle of American ingenuity or the stupidest thing ever, but it feels like there's a lot of potential here for some great riffs.

  6. Don't Be A Victim, BE ALERT!

    A safety advice video from 1994. The material is dated and some information can't be used in today's environment due to the advancement of technology. However, there are some parts that are Riff ready thanks in part to some cheesy acting and how its presented and narrated.

    Example:

    There's a scene where a woman is watching through a window while a guy tries to get through the backgate. He looks like he's trying to use hedge trimmers to break the gate, but the acting shows that the gate isn't locked to begin with and he's just shaking the door.

    Another…

  12. Sooper Goop

    Yeah, this one is a short I've seen when I was in elementary school called Sooper Goop.

    This one discusses about the downside of 'kids' cereal' and how they pull out schemes to make kids want something they don't need.

  14. The House I Live In

    [Public Domain] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovwHkb1wEfU

    Frank Sinatra, apparently playing himself, takes a "smoke" break from a recording session. He sees more than 10 boys chasing a Jewish boy and intervenes, first with dialogue; then with a little speech. His main points are that we are "all" Americans and that just one American's blood is as good as another, all our religions are equally to be respected.

  16. The Hearse

    A schoolteacher moves into her deceased aunt's home in a small town, only to find herself plagued by supernatural occurrences and unexplained hostility from the local townspeople connected to her aunt's past...

    Really bad acting in a 1970's movie, perfect for Rifftrax

  17. The Fighting Lady, 1944

    [Public Domain?] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt58grDVsnI

    The plot of the film revolves around the life of seamen on board an anonymous aircraft carrier. Because of war time restrictions, the name of the aircraft carrier was disguised as “the Fighting Lady”, although she was later identified as USS Yorktown (CV-10). (“Fighting Lady” was the known moniker of the Yorktown, just as “Lady Lex” for Lexington, “The Big E” for Enterprise, etc…) A few shots of aircraft landing were filmed aboard the Yorktown’s sister ship USS Ticonderoga.

  20. Sentimental Journey

    Sentimental Journey is a depressing short starring James Stewart as Joe, the old WWII pilot who decides to take a casual night stroll on the tarmac to discover his beloved DC-3 plane filled with cargo, as it's now considered obsolete for carrying passengers. When he boards the plane as it's left unattended, his mind wanders to audible flashbacks of "fonder" days. The man who is responsible for the plane hands him a stick of gum, just what anyone would possibly need to cure the existential blues. It's completely unremarkable, but filled with rather colorful voices during Joe's flashback, this short…
