The Daylight Zone (1986)
Christian propaganda film filled with obvious anachronisms. Of course, painful dialogue ensues.

Liebe 2002
It's a mockumentary from East Germany, the communistic part of it about how they imagined love to work in the year 2002.
It's incredibly cheesy tongue in cheek.
It has a weird futuristic visions with ballet dancers from the future, robots and computers contrasted by the 1970s and the olden days.
It's been produced by DEFA and a copy can be found on their Youtube channel:

Jack Brooks: Monster slayer
An Uber cheesy horror comedy that desperately calls for a Rifftrax commentary. You can’t go wrong with Robert Englund aka Freddy Krueger as the hapless, creepy guy as one of the main characters. Yet, somehow the film falls a bit short. Cmon guys put your mark on this beast!

Running For Empties (1988)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utbT3IL3P2Y
This is a 9 minute short from New Zealand about two schoolboys and a man in short shorts who deliver glass bottles of milk.
It is wholesome, sincere, and grounded, yet it has several over the top moments. Like an animation of the van turning into a spaceship. Or a cat knocking a bottle off a wall.
It ends on a note that soon people will be able to buy milk from grocery stores, leaving the kids (and the viewer) as witnesses to the end of an era.

A Recipe for Seduction

Lone Ranger Cartoon Shorts (Format Films, 1966)
In 1966, Format Films released a series of cartoon shorts starring The Lone Ranger and Tonto. These were quite interesting, if unusual. You see, many of these seemed to have strong steampunk elements...obviously influenced by the then-contemporary The Wild Wild West. (There was even a semi-recurring villain who was a little person--Tiny Tom--lifted clean from TWWW's Dr. Loveless.) There were heat rays, human dynamos, mechanical monsters, portals to prehistoric times, lost dinosaur valleys...that kind of thing.
So this is a rather unusual take on the Lone Ranger mythos. (A later Filmation cartoon series, from 1980, was far more realistic, often…

Food and Magic
https://archive.org/details/FoodAndMagic
A short featuring the magic of film editing, with the only carnival barker ever to wear a natty business suit, about the importance of food conservation in WWII. Features questionable facts, magic that isn't, lots of little vignettes, and an America where no one is concerned when a bloody, filthy soldier turns up for dinner.

A Cranberry Christmas (2008)
- It has characters named Cyrus Grape and Mister Whiskers.
- Music is by Barry Manilow.
- It's sponsored by Ocean Spray Cranberries and this fact is screamingly obvious.

My Santa (2005- ) AKA Itsudatte my Santa
Santa is a magical girl in this two-episode anime/OVA for Christmas later this year? Yep. There's an English dub. And, the protagonist is also named Santa. Six months' worth of story arcs in two short episodes.

Powerful stuff
Powerful stuff is a British Public Information Film that’s the “sequel” to ‘Play Safe’. I would love to see a riff of this!

Malakapalakadoo, Skip Two
This "educational" short may, in fact, be too strange to riff

SchoolHouse Rock Educational Shorts
Schoolhouse Rock was a big part of my public school education. Basically every time it rained during recess, or a teacher just didn't want to deal with us, we'd be treated to an hour or so these educational animated shorts. These shorts felt outdated at the time and they definitely haven't aged gracefully. I'd love to watch you guys rip history, and my childhood education, a new one by taking on Schoolhouse Rock.

Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941)
I have really been enjoying the Batman and Robin serial you guys riffed, so I thought maybe you guys could do Captain Marvel before he got renamed Shazaam! From clips I have seen of this one, Captain Marvel is one ******* superhero as he is played by a weightlifter so we get to watch him throw actual people across the room! Better still, he does not play around, cross him and he'll throw you off a cliff or use a machine gun to gun you down as you try to flee! Would make for a totally awesome riff!

The Wickedest Witch
This NBC made for TV movie stars Rue McClanahan as the witch Avarissa, Paul Fusco's puppets (yes, the guy who did the show ALF), and has Burgess Meredith as the narrator. It'll be a quick riff (under 30 minutes), but a hilarious one.

Fork Lift Driver Klause
German: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DILjd69C0o
English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPpwLCvPAMEWhy riff it? (1) Twice as many hand amputations as Shake Hands with Danger. (2) Your pick of German dialog w/English subtitles, or an English dub with... amazing ... lip sync. (3) Previously unrecognized influence on other films, including the Black Knight scene from Search for the Holy Grail, and the Saw franchise.
