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

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.

What's The Big Hurry (1974)
This is a crazy short. It shows cars getting demolished at a junkyard. But the audio alternates between people's last words behind the wheel, Christmas music, and creepy electronic music.

Zone Out
The first film ever written by an AI, starring Thomas Middleditch, is a story about... Well I have no idea because it makes as much sense as a script would make sense when you try to make a 25th century SkyNet out of 21st century parts!
For two guys who played robots and one who got constantly ribbed by them, I can think of no greater honor to the first AI-made script than a ribbing by Mike, Bill, and Kevin. Besides, it can't be worse than a Wiseau script!
...right?

"High Cost of Letting Go" (Short) AKA Don't Drive Angry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVsRYsNETpY
A Union Pacific traffic education short.
A reporter solved the mystery of why a brother and sister died in a fatal accident. But before he'd tell the audience or his boss the reporter detailed every step he took to figure out what happened.
A series of interviews revealed that the family had emotions. Emotions caused the dad to get a ticket, the girl to get her bike run over, and the brother to speed past a red light and into a deadly railroad yard.

Military Police: Town Patrol (1955)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_-UbRxlxCk
The 28-minute short shows two MPs as they patrol Agusta, Georgia. And it looks like someone spliced scenes from an entertaining-enough police procedural to make a dull educational film.
The MPs instruct one soldier on bus routes and pay close attention to try and spot soldier's shoes. But in between all that they come across a soldier who was beaten up and mugged.
In fact, the line "You better call the station and get an ambulance" is spoken with much less severity and gravity than the following dressing down of a poorly dressed soldier. "Okay, now you look like…

Advertising: What it's Doing to your Life, with Blonde Ronald Reagan. AKA Anyone who hates ads is more evil than the commies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8cqk0uIuso
This educational/indoctrination short is a blend of lectures and old advertisements that lays it on thick
Advertising is equated with: more money for government services thru taxes, the development of new cake mixes, a means to keep Kruschev from burying us, and a way for married men to stare at women so they can feel better about loveless marriages.
Last but not least, if you don't support advertising than a little kid with cerebral palsy will never be able to walk normally. Do you want that on your conscious?!?

With This Ring (1954): There's a bit of god in every Miller High Life?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3bblcaYtQo
This short is part-advertisement for Miller High Life, part historic-melodrama cut down for time.
The ring in question is some sort of magic ring that seems to give the Miller family a +5 in INT, WIS, and brewing. It only appears at the start and end.
The movie itself is mostly made up of dramatic speeches or set-ups for dramatic speeches. Like Fred Miller threatening a guy with a hammer. Fred Miller's daughter explaining that she'll keep running the company until a man can take over. Or Fred III saying God is present in the fermenting process.
There are…

YELLOW BELLIED SUMP SUCKER
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX59CjRi0wk
It was made during the golden years of instructional videos. Earthy aromas permeate throughout with a slight aftertaste of Shake Hands With Danger. It's for a niche industry that is so impossibly dull that it just can't not be funny. The riffs practically write themselves.

Helping Johnny Remember
A group of children assemble a cardboard city within what appears to be a dark, formless void of a room. But where's Johnny? And why won't the children play with him? Could it be because Johnny looks to be one incident involving frogs and firecrackers away from venturing down the career path of serial killer with a one paragraph entry in that true crime encyclopedia your weird uncle keeps in his bathroom?

Dangerously Close (1986)
This is not only from Cannon and not only from Albert Pyun, it's also a boring ass film with bland character with no character development who only stand around like they in a fashion model commercial. A waste of people who have or had talent before making this dullfest of a trainwreck.

Food for Thought (Short, 1949)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=ZavYMVXYam8
This educational short has a lot of absurd scenes: there's a rush to plate a loaf of sliced bread, regular meals of meat as big as a human head, and a lesbian teenaged daughter with a wedding ring.
It also has compelling characters: the generic overworked housewife whose love is conditional on good cooking, the father who can't eat spaghetti, and the daughter who loves pressure cookers so much she gets an advance on her allowance to buy one.
The narration is also top notch. There's a complete description about how pressure cookers work, lists of foods that one…

History of HJ Heinz Ketchup
History of J.J Heinz Tomato Ketchup
https://archive.org/details/76054HeinzKetchupThis is an educational short about tomatoes that will get turned into ketchup with the power of stock footage.
The film's first half is heavy on historical re-enactment where there's no real drama. The second half doesn't real drama either, or men in costumes. But it does have a crop duster and a farmer comparing Heinz to the garden of Eden.

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.

Your Safety First
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8pvcGWtXXE
Described as "Jetsons before the Jetsons", "Your Safety First" is half future fantasy, half history of automotive safety features. Grandpa who speaks like an old-time prospector ties it all together at the end.
