5. Paddy the Pelican Shorts

   Calling these fifties-era, made-for-TV cartoon shorts cheap would be an insult to cheapness.

   Apparently, they're based on a character who started out as a puppet on a Chicago-area kids' show. The black-and-white animation looks like a pencil test. The animation is nothing but endless loops over and over. One single man does every voice in the cartoon, and not only does he sound like he did his voice recording in a broom closet, the quality of his acting in general makes Tommy Wiseau sound like Sir Ian McKellen. The dialogue this "actor" is reading sounds as if he lost the cue cards just before recording started and is frantically ad-libbing to fill the characters' lip movements (you know, that "Speed Racer" style of dialogue). The only music is a few odd organ chords here and there--that, and a theme "song" (and I use the term generously) that is probably supposed to sound like a pelican squawking, but actually sounds like the Joker decided to embark on a singing career--after taking Valium. The backgrounds consist of a few distinguishing features here and there in mostly white space.

   In short, any one of these shorts (most of which can be found on YouTube--I think there were only six) would be perfect for one of the live Rifftrax shows--either before a main feature, or as part of one of the shorts compilation shows.

6. Marble countertop instructional video

   My wife and I bought a house from an old couple and as a courtesy they left us and instructional video tape for our marble countertop. Its made by DuPont. I also have one for a GE stove. These are great because they're from a time where companies thought people would take the time to watch this

7. Dating Do's And Don'ts

   The lead character's name is Woody. There are probably at least ten good jokes in that alone. One of those dating etiquette shorts that offers divergent time lines in how to choose, ask for, and end a date

10. Greenwich Village

    15 min short shown on TCM Sept 11 at 5:45am EDT. Early 70s in all its fashion glory, extolling the charms of quaint Greenwich Village, a suburban oasis in the big city (not the way I remember it in the 70s). It takes some doing but I THINK I finally identified it as promoting cotton as a fabric. I'm not making that up.

    why it should be chosen:
    1. Robert Evans on probation for cocaine use, what does he do? Why an anti-drug special!
    2. Where else can you find Leif Garrett, Carol Burnett, Bob Hope, and Paul Newman?
    3. The children touching Fonzie's hair.

15. 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 one shot, an old building had a sign on it helpfully labeling it "OLD BUILDING."

    The other memorable thing about this series was the theme songs. Each character had their own theme song, which played at the beginning of each of their shorts.

    "When Captain America throws his mighty shiiiieeeeld/All those who chose to oppose his shield must yiiiiieeeeld!"

    "Tony Stark makes you feel/He's a cool exec with a heart of steel..."

    "Doc Bruce Banner, belted by gamma rays/Turned into the Hulk/Ain't he unglamor-ays?" (Yes, they managed to squeeze a rhyme out of that.)

    "Stronger than a whale, he can swim anywhere/He can breathe underwater and go flying through the air/The noble Sub-Mariner/Prince of the Deep/So beware, you deadly demons! (basso profundo voice) Lord Namor of Atlantis is the Prince of the Deeeep!"

    "Across the Rainbow Bridge of Asgard/Where the booming heavens roar/You'll behold in breathless wonder/The god of thunder, Mighty Thor!"

    These catchy theme songs stuck in people's heads...in fact, the first Iron Man movie featured the cartoon theme song, played when Tony's award is announced, and again when we see him in the casino.

    Despite their cheesiness, these cartoons do have a lot to recommend them--the classic comic art, the fresh-from-Stan-Lee writing even if it is a little overblown, their place in Marvel comics history. Cheesy enough to laugh at, but charming enough to like--in short, a perfect subject for riffing.

    (Grantray-Lawrence Animation would go on to make the 1967 Spider-Man series. The animation here was hardly Disney--it was still rather limited, but at least it wasn't just the comic panels with a few moving parts. Plus, G-L topped themselves by giving us the most memorable Marvel cartoon theme song of all.)

16. Simba: The King Lion (1995– )

    North Korean/Italian coproduction ... ripping off Disney's Lion King.
    But at least the animals have laser beam powers to make the story more ... interesting? Plus there are soccer episodes with flame thrower wielding NYC rats.

19. American Women - Partners in Research (Short)

    https://archive.org/details/American1960_2

    Short film that epitomizes sexist behaviors of the late 50's early 60's. With Chet Huntley (!) of NBC News. Made by a company here in Buffalo, NY. I can see Bridget & Mary Jo sinking their teeth into this one. In the public domain.
