Heil Honey, I'm Home

In Berlin, 1938, Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun have a love-hate relationship with their Jewish neighbours in this bizarre spoof of 'fifties American sitcoms.3 votes -
Du côté de la côte
This seems to be considered something “special” and is apparently part of the criterion collection but it was just weird if you ask me.

Journey through stress
This was shown every year in my highschool. I recently found it again and it would absolutely tickle me to see this riffed by the hilarious folks whom I have loved since an early age.
There is a particular scene involving a chili dog where everyone in my high school audience would shout "THROW IT!".
Just watch it! It is delightfully terrible.

Better Use of Leisure Time (1950)
[video type="youtube"]BHgncP5vc[/video]
"Better Use of Leisure Time" is a short about how people today (1950's) have never had it so good. So if a teen has free time and they aren't doing some form of learning or labor then they're wasting their present and their future!
Parts of it feel prime for ripping while other parts feel like an unattainable punch to the gut. E.g., a house and a family on a single-income 40-hour a week job that allows the breadwinner time to cut out early for family and hobbies.

Farm Family in Autumn
Hi,
I’m a big fan of Bridget and Mary Jo, especially the Farm Family series. I recently completed the set by purchasing Farm Family in Autumn and became curious about what happened to the Markham kids (Heaven’s Gate cultists? DeLorean investors? Sec. of the Interior?) That’s when I stumbled upon this interesting tidbit! Hopefully this is new to you guys. P.S.- Mary Jo, you were right! Grandpa was a fraud!Sincerely,
Patrick Sandbergfrom

It Was All A Dream Sequence
A collection of shorts where something is sold in dreamsequence like Design for Dreaming or Once Upon A Honeymoon. I doubt those are the only two advertising fever dreams. I’d love if Mary Jo and Bridget joined in too.

Marvel Super Heroes "Animated" TV Series
In 1966, Grantray-Lawrence Animation produced a TV series made up of shorts revolving around various Marvel heroes--Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Namor The Sub-Mariner, and The Hulk. These stories were taken from the Silver Age comics.
And when I say "taken from," I mean literally. The "animation", and I use the term generously, was basically the original comic art with some animation--moving lips, the occasional (slightly) moving figure or a fully animated silhouette, on-screen sound effects.
These shorts reflected the slight cheesiness of Silver Age comics--characters describing their actions even as they played out onscreen, somewhat over-inflated dialogue, etc. In…

MST3K Shorts only!
You guys already release most of your RiffTrax Live shorts separate from the shows.
So it would be super awesome if you started releasing all the MST shorts separate from their movies! REALLY awesome!
There are many shorts where I don't like the movie they're attached too, "Uncle Jim's Dairy Farm", "Circus on Ice", "Out of This World" and SO MUCH MORE!!

Metrics for Primary: How Big is Big?
This educational short teaches kids about metric measurements in liters and volume; which sounds like a nice idea, if not for the fact that this short contains puppets that would make Jim Henson shake his head in disgust (or scream in horror).
Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70k9gBICVQU and skip to 32:11.

North Korean Pocahantas (TV Series)
Laser-eye shooting animals, terrible animation, time travel, and a hodge podge of historical revisionism.

Dungeons Dragons TV Series (1983-1985, 27 Episodes)
Dungeons Dragons TV Series (1983-1985, 27 Episodes) There are several episodes that would make great riffing material. And 24-minute run times make them perfect shorts!

Operation Blue Line starring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
A 10-minute promotional VHS given out at supermarkets and the like. The Turtles shill with honor as they cross the country to LA in order to promote the LA Metro Blue Line, a rail system running from LA to Long Beach. In order to accomplish their goal, they must overcome the sinister Gridlock, a malefactor who wants to keep LA congested with traffic and smog.
Reasons this deserves a riffing:
-The Turtle costumes are pretty cheap-looking. They just look like giant versions of the original TMNT action figures and have no jaw articulation whatsoever. They make up for it by…

Santo gold
I heard about this years ago and just remembered it. From the link below:
"Santo Gold is without a doubt the most bizarre infomercial I’ve seen. This infomercial tries to do two very different tasks at the same time: sell a gold jewelry business opportunity and promote a “science-fiction space wrestling movie” called Blood Circus. Either one of these would be laughable enough on its own, but the combination of the two is downright unnerving."

Shopping Can Be Fun (1957)
Bridget and Mary Jo have done riffs on menstruation, the suburbs, and Tupperware, so they would be perfect to riff this early tribute to the shopping mall.
It's also in the public domain.
