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.

Shake Hands with Danger
The original video is up to watch. Safety Video from 1980 with 1970 themes. One highlight is watching a man falls from a high height and dies... while a random guy starts singing and the camera films him. Riffers wanted.

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…

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.

Round and Round
This promotional short is dopey with really clunky stop-motion. Since the site seems to have been on a bad stop-motion binge the last several months I figured I'd suggest this again.

Harryhausen's fairy tale adaptations
Special effects legend Ray Harryhausen made Fairy Tale adaptation shorts and I wondered if you would riff them. They're Mother Goose Stories, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Story of King Midas, Hansel and Gretel, and the tortoise and the hare.

Shoplifter (1975)
A short film made for the purpose of educating retail business owners and staff about shoplifting, shoplifters, and how to spot their myriad of techniques.
It depicts multiple women shoplifting items by holding them between their legs or stuffing them in their underwear.
The film also features a middle-aged man lurking in a grocery store air vent using binoculars with the supposed intent of theft prevention.
What more can I say?
A fair copy is available on YouTube to browse.

American Remake Sailor Moon Pilot (1994)
This 10 minute failed pilot for an American remake of Sailor Moon, combines live action with animation with results that are both equally extremely cheesy and extremely cringeworthy. Thought to be lost to time has just recently resurfaced. If you can work out the rights, I think this could be a hilarious riff.

Get Street Smart: A Kid's Guide To Stranger Dangers (1995)
I had to watch this in grade-school and everyone I knew absolutely hated it.
It's all about an ugly orange alien named Corny who is dumb as dirt. He eats live goldfish for breakfast and has a time-traveling belt. He keeps doing dumb things with strangers throughout the day and gets saved by his time-traveling but eventually he either forgets it or it breaks. Cue a crisis.
I've since learned that there were also other Corny videos but thankfully the universe wasn't cruel enough to show them to me.

Japanese Korean Dramas
Introduction of Japanese Korean Dramas
Japanese and Korean dramas have a lot of differences. Japanese dramas are usually about love and romance, while Korean dramas often involve a lot of action and suspense.

Another difference between Japanese and Korean dramas is that Japanese dramas often involve supernatural elements such as ghosts and demons, while Korean dramas do not usually have these types of elements in them. Korean Dramas are the most popular genre of Korean entertainment. It is a drama serial that is broadcasted on TV and it is characterized by…1 vote -

Crack That Tank
Have you ever wondered how to take out a tank from the World War II era? Do you have a dame in Brooklyn? Do you refer to setting other people ablaze with Molotov Cocktails as "buying them a drink"?
Then brother, this short is for you!
Marvel at the absolute awkwardness of an actor pretending to be... I don't know, maybe a mafioso that got drafted? He certainly talks more like someone from Goodfellas than Saving Private Ryan. Perhaps "swagger" is also a requirement for cracking open a tank.
Except no tanks actually get cracked open in this short. But…
