Video games Cut scenes
Riffing the cut scenes of big name current video games. From Destiny and Halo to Grand Theft Auto and Assassins Creed. A compilation would be just great I think.

You In Public Service
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8rahERQ8n4
This is a whole series of educational films meant for people in public service jobs. The one I've linked to gives an overview of the whole series, but the only one I've actually seen all of is the grooming one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACQNZDR_qg0). Between the four hosts looking like a bad version of Sesame Street, the feeble attempts at comedy, the animated bit straight out of Schoolhouse Rock, and the musical numbers, the whole series could spawn some great riffing.

Jay Can Do It
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3JGYtJrydY - Honestly, I don't know exactly why this movie was made, which is why it'd be perfect riff material. A rather dumb looking kid has a bunch of experiences that don't seem to be connects, from baking cookies to meeting a policeman. The only explanation I have for it is that it's a time capsule for some alien race. Hilariously bad.

The Safe Side
A half hour, stranger danger safety documentary starring your friendly neighborhood superhero: Safe Side Super Chick. Watch as she fantasizes about a roller disco gorilla dressed as Greg Brady as Johnny Bravo coming to her door. Discover her unique superpowers like: changing the color of her outfit from green to yellow to red based on how dangerous a situation may or may not be (it's not a precise science sometimes it's just a mailman with a live otter in a crate), turn her face red and shoot steam out of her ears, or create sound effects with her mind. Can…

Doctor Who: Dimensions in Time
This is bad. Really bad. It was supposed to be the 30th anniversary special but it’s almost as bad as the Star Wars Holiday Special. You won’t be able to actually release the video of it because my understanding is that all of the actors made it for free on the condition that it never be released commercially, but you could do a Just a Riff for people to listen to while watching it on YouTube.

Fort Moultrie
I watched this video while visiting Fort Moultrie in South Carolina on vacation. Only two people in the video, the narrator and the 'Sargent' who plays all of the different parts. Seems very Riffable to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZnY1cbW89U

It's Everybody's Business
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=220XsrVZ1rk
An educational cartoon from 1954 that lets the viewer know that capitalism was always the basis for all of our freedoms.
There's also the message that the government provides vital services but that means taxes, so be sure to protest the government taxes.
And there are also women in bikini's standing in front of open fridges. Because of course.

German Forklift safety training video
Very over-the-top German forklift safety training video that really drives the point home. Very dark humor. German with English subtitles, but they're really not necessary, as you can figure out what's going on without them.
Enjoy...

Habit Patterns
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GTBMGUUz6I&t=3s
One of the most depressing shorts I've ever seen - this is up in Social Acceptability or The Snob territory, and I've been wanting to see Maryjo and Bridget take this one on. Basically a narrator berates this hapless girl for 15 minutes because she doesn't wash her clothes, get up on time, or take interest in books.

Plane Talk
The unholy alliance between the airline industry and the phone company. A chubby guy needs a bigger seat belt so they plane can take off! https://youtu.be/r10wAV9rZKM

There are literally decades of Pathé newsreels out there that are just itching for the Rifftrax treatment.

Traveling vacations short
This short from the 50s is about a man who ruins a ladies painting at the beach, then stalks her , accidentally destroys her fathers car and tows them in their travel trailer all over the country. The girl hates him the entire time. It’s done in that “ain’t it neat” 50s style. And it is ripe for destruction.

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…

2 Souls
My Daughter had to do a short film for her school project. Being fans of MST3k and Rifftrax she asked if I could request a riffing. I said what the heck so here is the request.
2 Souls is about a girl named Heaven. Heaven is has a curse. She has another side to her. A demon side. The demon is named Nevaeh. Nobody except for Heaven can see Nevaeh. Heaven is trying to control with Nevaeh. Little does Heaven know that someone is always watching her. The one who gave her the curse.13 votes -

The Nutshack
I'm not sure if this counts as a short, it's a TV show, but I couldn't find a TV show suggestion function. So anyway, this is one of the worst cartoons ever made, and I think you could get some material out of this.

Lil' Dan'l Boom
An unsold cartoon pilot from Sam Singer, who has been dubbed the "Ed Wood of animation". Lots of background pans with no animation, cycles, and overall bad pacing.
