Tea Making Tips (BBC, 1941)
You can give it a watch on the official BFI YouTube channel here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnvYymrCn4g&t=16sI just feel you guys tend to do fantastic jobs riffing on instructional videos in general, and one as genteel and specific as this could result in some absolute laugh out loud moments!

Catweazle
I'm an American/Dutch dual citizen, living in Holland for ten years and the US west coast for fifty years before that.
My Dutch husband called one of our kitties "Catweazle" this evening, and I asked him what on earth he was talking about. It turns out that "Catweazle" was a British-made children's show from the early '70s that he watched on TV as a small child.
I watched Season 1, Episode 1 of "Catweazle" (oh, I never get tired of typing that name!) on YouTube, and it was fifteen minutes of riff-worthy delight.
I had never heard of this show…

Name Unknown (1951)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpUWXXSBEMU
A rambling judge/narrator starts off talking about a teen running away to get married. Then he talks about keys in a ball of wax, teens making out in a car getting mugged by a man in a suit, a babysitter having to work late and being murdered. In short, everyone is always schemeing to steal from or to murder teenagers.
A Sid Davis production.

Caught in a Rip-Off (1974)
From the people who brought you "Cheating" and "Shake Hands with Danger" comes this 1974 scare film about shoplifting, entitled "Caught in a Rip-Off." Some unseen guy who sniffed one too many cans of spray paint (to paraphrase the words of one YouTube commenter) tells about how clerks in your local Hobby Lobby employ one sly tactic after another to discourage burglary. Accentuated with weird (but not atypical) 1970s Moog synthesizer musical stings, this makes for an interesting subject that is riff-worthy.
Here is the YouTube link below:

Thought for Food
A 1930's ish? 40's? Kroger documentary on how they ensure quality. The link above appears to not be complete, but if you like laboratory drones measuring peach juice, after a morning family squabble, it's for you.

Volton
This electrical safety video was made in 1990 by Edison Electric Institute. It's narrated by Volton, pure electrical energy, who takes you on a cool computer a animated journey through the power grid, and then shows you how to be safe around overhead and underground wires. Whenever someone gets shocked, you will hear Volton savagely snarl "GROUND!"

Willow Disney Series
Should riff on the series more than the movie, especially the princess who talks like a “bruh”/bro and has the only accent that doesn’t sound like others British accents. Movie would be nice too. I will donate if I know you guys would suggest it.

Think About This - Safety Video
I figured this must have been a recap at the end of a longer movie. Nope, it is a 5 minute safety meeting opener. I imagine 2 different reactions: One everyone one is laughing hard and wants to see it again or stunned silence. They sure put in a lot of work for 5 min of film. Like Surviving Edged Weapons, this video is over-the-top in it's presentation. Riffers ahoy!

The Attitude Factor (1981)
A school bus safety film about the attitudes of bus drivers focuses most of its story on a driver named Barbara Blackstone. It begins with Barbara, a lady with a positive attitude, winning an award for "best all-around driver"; by the end, she is worn down by the mother of a special needs child who constantly complains she's late. Barbara's meltdown to misery is a spectacle to behold and great material for riffing. The short is on YouTube.

Captain America (15 part serial)
Let me set the Stage. It’s the mid 1940’s, WWII is raging, and there’s this publication group called Timely Comics. It’s still decades away before they adopt a more “Marvel-ous” name, but for now they have this new character they call Captain America who they think will make waves. Timely wants to make a serial for Cap, Republic has made tons of serials, what could go wrong?
Hilariously, Republic threw out literally everything about Captain America for the serial. Sure he mostly has his costume, but this is not Steve Rogers the super soldier fighting the Nazis with the help…

Puff The Magic Dragon
A cartoon, about a song, about a dragon that somehow, really doesn’t tie together with itself at all. Filmed in that wonderful 70s animation style that we all know and love and featuring none other than The Penguin (Burgess Meredith) as the voice of Puff, this would be fantastic to see riffed!

Music Videos
ok, hear me out here. Do you guys remember popup videos? they were amazing, and when music television stations started producing **** reality tv, all of the good stuff died. Anyway, I think it would be amazing if you did a sort of "pop-up" style video, but just riff'd it instead. have some popup "facts" and do what you do best, and tear it a new one. I think this would be an amazing place to start.
