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!

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.

Cold Can Kill
A Royal Navy instructional film from 1972, my film collector friend picked this one from a dealer. He showed it at his home and now we all chant the film's title whenever someone falls in the water. Three reasons why it's riffable: The high frequency jumpscare of the title card warning COLD CAN KILL, the goofy Hanna Barbera-esque animation illustrating how alcohol will kill you if you have hypothermia, and the mention that the water "impregnates" your clothes.

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!"

Something Wonderful Happens
Something Wonderful Happens ia a 1957 short by General Electric pushing their "Live Better Electrically" campaign. But the sub plot of the boy Eric and his attraction to Kathy, a woman his mother's age, is downright creepy. https://youtu.be/rSFy2LKzFHk

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…

Kid Safe
This video was made in the 1980s and distributed by Triaminic and the American Academy Of Pediatrics. Its goal: to teach kids how to be safe when they're home alone. It was directed by Stuart Gordon, and the "little girl" named Kathy Tudor is played by Andrea Martin, who was 40 years old at the time. If you liked Martin Short playing a ten year-old in "Clifford" or Robin Williams playing a ten year-old in "Jack", this is the educational video for you.

Don't Be A Victim, BE ALERT!
A safety advice video from 1994. The material is dated and some information can't be used in today's environment due to the advancement of technology. However, there are some parts that are Riff ready thanks in part to some cheesy acting and how its presented and narrated.
Example:
There's a scene where a woman is watching through a window while a guy tries to get through the backgate. He looks like he's trying to use hedge trimmers to break the gate, but the acting shows that the gate isn't locked to begin with and he's just shaking the door.
