"Swingin' Six" ZIP Code Video
4 good reasons (because I'm an overachiever) to riff this short from the 1960's about using ZIP codes, found at https://youtu.be/QIChoMEQ4Cs:
1.This is an actual US government short. If you don't riff it, the terrorists win.
Cavemen. Not sure what it has to do with the postal service, but cavemen. Occasionally in very short skirts (yes, still the men).
To find out why not using ZIP codes will make your true love desert you.
They rhyme 'question' and 'indigestion' in a song. Oh, did I mention it's a musical?

And Then It Happened
70's bus safety short, wherein all the kids are dicking around on the bus to varying degrees. Features live animals, a switchblade, and kids flying around like socks in the dryer. I didn't even ride the bus and I think it traumatized me. (https://youtu.be/dmyizLWUxtM) I remember it differently, but still.

Do Easy
Do Easy - "Its a way of Do-ing" ... this is just begging to be riffed. Great faces, tons of bad examples, including an example of how to zip up your pants, a guy tossing sticks while smoking, stubbing toes ... I can't believe I found this.
Here is a link to the video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoOUBETTyMI

Benji, Zax & the Alien Prince (1983)
Benji protects a homeless 10 year old alien and his gooftastic flying robot who conveniently forgets he has built in lasers from pairs of alien bounty hunters in nondescript windowless vans.
In one episode, Benji flies a freaking plane.

"... so I took it!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUIwF36NTCI
This public domain short from 1975, produced by Sid Davis for Motorola (whose logo takes on a seizure-inducing calling card), tells the story of a preteen girl who is taken by the allure of shoplifting by her best friend Glenda. Generic 1970s music that sounds like it's trying to imitate an Italian song, sub-par acting from child actors, and the most unidentifiable objects taken from the apparent local K-mart are among the noticeable elements in this Sid Davis short.

American Women - Partners in Research (Short)
https://archive.org/details/American1960_2
Short film that epitomizes sexist behaviors of the late 50's early 60's. With Chet Huntley (!) of NBC News. Made by a company here in Buffalo, NY. I can see Bridget & Mary Jo sinking their teeth into this one. In the public domain.

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.

Paddy the Pelican Shorts
Calling these fifties-era, made-for-TV cartoon shorts cheap would be an insult to cheapness.
Apparently, they're based on a character who started out as a puppet on a Chicago-area kids' show. The black-and-white animation looks like a pencil test. The animation is nothing but endless loops over and over. One single man does every voice in the cartoon, and not only does he sound like he did his voice recording in a broom closet, the quality of his acting in general makes Tommy Wiseau sound like Sir Ian McKellen. The dialogue this "actor" is reading sounds as if he lost the…

Manimal (TV series 1983)
Maybe the pilot or the first two episodes (if not the entire 8 episode series... I guess that would be asking for too much).

The Christmas Tree- Animated Christmas Abomination
1991 animated christmas movie. An all around bad movie- bad animation, bad voice characters, etc. Orphans, mean caretaker, and the Orphans best friend is a tree. YES a tree. Some how the children seem to live really close to santa claus. Its been called the Room version of Christmas Special bad.

Return of the Ewok (1982)
Weird ass behind the scenes mockumentary (?), where Warwick Davis alternates between himself and an ewok bouncing back and forth between our world and sets of Return of the Jedi.
