The American Heart Association's current BLS (Basic Life Saving) video
There are various skits with live actors about someone who becomes unresponsive and needs CPR, only when the actor or actress actually starts doing CPR, the person in need of help is switched out for a mannequin, which is suddenly wearing the person's clothes and and is in the same position the person was just in! This effect was especially creepy for the baby- CPR skit. Our entire class was laughing so hard it hurt!

Hunting Grounds (aka Valley of the Sasquatch)
"After losing their home following a devastating tragedy, a father and son are forced to move to an old family cabin. When two old friends arrive for a weekend of hunting, what begins as a bonding trip becomes an unimaginable nightmare. This trip deep into the forest will not find wild game, but does unearth a tribe of Sasquatch that are determined to protect their land."
Dismemberment, head-squashing, arguments about college, mourning for dead moms... this movie's got it all!

Toy Soldiers (1991)
You should do this 1991 film about a group of Columbian terrorists taking over a prep school, leaving it up to the rebellious kids and Dean Louis Gossett Jr to save the day!
1.) It has the most epic early 90s hunk trifecta of Sean Astin, Wil Wheaton, and Keith Coogan.
2.) It's a "Die Hard in a school" movie, what more do you need?
3.) Okay, it also has one of the funniest death scenes ever. I don't want to spoil it, but I'm sure it made a certain group of Sci-Fi geeks very happy.

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.

parole violators
"Miles Long" decides to catch parole violators in the act of committing crimes, on film, so he can can turn them in. Instead what happens is that he gets the crap beat out of him for nearly the entire movie. You can see Red Letter Media's take on it here:

Magic Kingdom Club: Update '94
We somehow stumbled across these hidden gems on youtube- Magic Kingdom Club was kind of a discount card program for Walt Disney World before they had a vacation club. We looked through all of these, but this one is the most bizarre. Hosted by a VERY spray tanned Aladdin and Valley girl Jasmine, Im not even sure how this made its way to distribution. Might be hard to get the rights for it but we at least wanted to share. A must watch- truly 90's in all its cheesy splendor.

Write On! The TV Ontario TV Shorts
Coming from the bizarre realm of the 70s PBS/GRETA Dimension, I submit to RiffTrax: Write On! The TV Ontario Shorts.
Just as aci attempted to educate on reading with From Left to Right, Write On was basically a series of shorts which was supposed to educate on grammar and punctuation.
This shindig took place within a mythical newspaper building with a cranky editor, and two reporters. One of them known as Jack, was sort of a Walter Mitty type, since some of the shorts would take place in his wild imagination.
Basically it usually had the group in inexplicable situations where they would educate on common grammatical and punctuation errors and the like, with strange endings.
So why should the RiffTrax Crew take a typing stab at this shorts?
(1) The odd premise: just like in the Measuring Metric short taking place in the Old West, you'll wonder why does this series take place in a newspaper room (or if it's just a newsroom, since for the most part, they never really clarify what their purpose is, except pointing out the errors in general). But the fact you really never see them publishing, or broadcasting the news.
(2) The strange situations pertaining to the subjects. Ever wonder how you use Dracula to teach about quotation marks, or how a witch's ineptitude at casting spells stems from the proper usage of like and as? Well, this series somehow demonstrates this, and you wonder how does this actually educate you on grammar and punctuation in the first place, or how much pot did the producers at TV Ontario huff to come up with these concepts. Which leads into my third reason.
(3) As Kevin once said in From Left to Right: 'Oh, I see they made an educational film, but forgot to put in the education.' Write On! suffers from the similar problem, because although they do indicate the common grammatical and punctuation flubs, the sketches are so out there you tend to forget what exactly they were attempting to educate you on about.
Overall this has to be seen to be believed, so I've managed to locate some on YouTube and paste them up on here.

Sorry couldn't find the witch one but after you see these clips you'll agree on why RiffTrax should riff these gems... Write On!

Nutcracker in 3D
Proof that the art of horrible, nightmarish attempts at Christmas movies did not die out with Pirates World, Nutcracker in 3D (aka The Nutcracker: The Untold Story) is one of the few movies to receive a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The majority of the ballet's musical score is jettisoned, and the pieces that remain are played ad nauseam. Other pointless changes: the heroine is names Mary instead of Clara, her uncle is Albert Einstein (?!), and the rats are Nazis (?!?!?!). The Nutcracker looks like a rejected Five Nights at Freddy's character, sounds like Moaning Myrtle (he's voiced by Shirley Henderson), and insists on being called "NC." and constantly bickers with Mary in the typical obviously-going-to-fall-in-love fashion. And he has sidekicks: A chimp in a suit, a clown who looks uncomfortably like John Wayne Gacy, and an anachronistic drummer who looks like a cast member of Stomp. The fantasy world is depicted as a bleak, grey, smoggy hellscape to the point that the real world looks more fantastic by comparison. Throw in a laundry list of action cliches and an anticlimax on par with Twilight Eclipse, and you've got a stinker for the ages.
If that's not enough for you, here's the Musical Hell review:

Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw (1976)
Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw stars Lynda Carter made famous by "Wonder Woman" and Marjoe Gortner, the former child evangelist who starred in in the 1972 documentary "Marjoe". I think there is a scene in the beginning of the movie where someone is topless; I cannot remember if it is Marjoe or Lynda, but let's hope for the polyester & discoballs, it's Marjoe Gortner! This movie has no plot but Lynda does sing (which is how she won her beauty queen title leading to this movie & Wonder Woman).

Monster's Crash the Pajama Party
This film is in the vein of Hillbillies in a Haunted House. High in camp, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. The plot involves decide to spend the night in a haunted house, but it's the headquarters of a mad scientist, a werewolf, and a gorilla. It was originally a "spookshow" where actors in costume would rampage through the theater!

Invasion from Inner Earth
A bizarre little UFO film by Giant Spider Invasion director Bill Rebane starring Paul Bentzen (Cousin Billy). It has snow mobiles, and an incomprehensible biblical ending that'll leave you insane.
