Target...Austin, Texas (1960)
The folks at Rifftrax haven't riffed a civil defense short in a while. This ultra-low budget one was filmed in Austin, Texas for a local TV station. In spite of the grim subject matter, there's enough weirdness to riff over, like the extremely cramped fallout shelter in one family's home, the secretary who freaks out during the bombing (and turns into an extra from CARNIVAL OF SOULS), and (most especially) the idiot who disobeys all orders, and essentially winds up as compost. The full short can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCQePqXEwwA .

Miss Manners on Weddings
This is on YouTube and it is amazing. 80's hair, bad acting, and smarmy, uptight Miss Manners presides over it all, "helping" two clueless, selfish horrible people and their selfish, horrible families plan a wedding. The first 2 minutes also include an actor (in what he must've thought was his big break) as a waiter, reciting the ENTIRE special of the day, down to the parsley flakes on the baked potato.
This was MADE for Bridget and Mary Jo. Check it out: https://youtu.be/QEJKwagADyQ12 votes -

Film Tactics (1945) A training film on how to use training films in a classroom
This is so meta that you must riff this. It features long pauses, giant props, and boats almost crashing into each other.

Dick Tracy Serials
http://dicktracy.info/on-film/cliffhanger-serials/
These serials start in 1937, starring our friend from Jungle Goddess, Ralph Byrd (Aka Bob Simpson, the racist murderer). Since you riffed Ancient Batman...it behooves you (whatever behooves means) to take on one of these 15 episode serials!12 votes -
Frozen Assets
A supposed "comedy" that the late film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert called "the worst comedy ever made," the viewer gets tortured with a story about a bank executive (L.A. Law's Corbin Bernsen) who is sent to another bank to turn things around financially in order to earn a promotion to vice-president. But the bank Zach is sent to supervise turns out to be a rather...sticky...situation. This banks deals not in money but (you guessed it) SPERM! Double entendres galore as Zach trades barbs and butts heads with bank counselor Dr. Grace Murdock (played by future Lifetime movie mainstay…

Case for Beer (ca 1970)
This is such a dry short that it should provide much fodder for RiffTrax !! The short is loaded with situations that can be mined for laughs !!

The Pleasure Seekers
This Spanish take on Three Coins in a Fountain is awesome. Ann-Margret shimmies, headshakes, and laughingly cries thru her mascara in this one.

I Pity The Fool
Mr. T had a reality TV series in 2006 where he would share his wisdom with those in need. The wisdom would often take the form of amazing one-liners like: "The T stand for Uni-T" or, my personal favorite, "Sometimes the T stand for things that don't even rhyme with T. Like 'nice'." This treasure unfortunately only ran for 6 episodes.

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.
