Cannibal Collector (2010)
Miguel is a man who appreciates great food, food is his passion but to look at, not to eat. To stifle his need for nutrition he resorts to cannibalism. Where the victims come from is never explained, but they are stored in the freezer for freshness.
Miguel talks to himself constantly, often admitting to cannabilism in the middle of the store.
The movie comes with a stereotypical nosy mom, and a crazy neighbor who hunts aliens on one side, a redneck on the other.
There are many long pauses in dialogue, no character development and terrible reactions over problems such as the food can being the wrong color.

The 39 Steps (1935),
Early Hitchcock at his best. Man meets counter-espionage agent and becomes accused of her murder. He goes on the run to Scotland and entangles an attractive, misfortunate woman in his desperate plot to stop the spy ring and clear his name. Bridget & Mike would provide perfect riffs.

Beezbo: An Adventure in Learning Manners
An alien crash lands on our planet. Luckily for us, he isn't interested in implanting alien embryos that will burst out of our stomachs. Instead he's interested in... learning manners?!?! Specifically in learning manners from a group of children who run the gamut from strange to so annoying that you wonder why the child wasn't left on a doorstep somewhere. The alien himself seems to be capable of pretty amazing feats, such as giving a kid a comically sized fat lip and transforming to look somewhat human-ish, so you wonder why the alien is bothering with manners when it could just overthrow humanity and create its own set of manners.
This direct to video gem was created by none other than Danny Bonaduce's (yes THAT Danny Bonaduce) sister Celia. Apparently she decided that the world needed yet another manners video, but this time it would feature aliens and baseball.
There are great lines such as "Manners? What are MANNERS?", which I'm sure was written with the Star Trek "Kiss, what is a kiss?" line in mind.
This link has a great sendup of the short film:

American Remake Sailor Moon Pilot (1994)
This 10 minute failed pilot for an American remake of Sailor Moon, combines live action with animation with results that are both equally extremely cheesy and extremely cringeworthy. Thought to be lost to time has just recently resurfaced. If you can work out the rights, I think this could be a hilarious riff.

The Gardener (aka Garden of Death, Seeds of Evil)
What would you get if you crossed a David DeCouteau flick with an ineffective antagonist from 'This Island Earth,' and I don't mean those dudes with the raised foreheads?
You'd get this bizarre flick from 1974, where even the video box art and description sounds far better than this train wreck.
Basically, as the film begins with an obscure hospital scene (hey, still better than a monotonous driving scene, eh?), where some patient is given some ominous-looking flowers. Apparently by the way they film this, you might think the patient's going to get Poison Ivy'ed where the plant somehow devours her, or grows throughout her body.
But no such luck. Instead she ends up dying of a cardiac arrest, or poisoned by spores, who knows?
Next we hear music which makes about as much sense as Gamera the Invincible, where you wonder why the director would play upbeat tones at a funeral service? And we see the intro credits roll.
In a nutshell, the spiel goes something like this: the two women, Ellen and Helena are discussing their friend's odd demise, then, for no apparent reason, talks about how fantastic her garden looks. No kidding, not about how strange this chick passed on due to some odd flowers into her room, but how marvelous her garden is.
Of course, this is all to the thanks of Carl, who apparently, throughout the film, wears a long ponytail, and has an aversion to wearing shirts of any kind, while trouncing through the foliage he allegedly tends to, and apparently this is his ONLY role throughout the film. Seems the plants do all the work as they bloom wildly about Ellen's estate, after she hires him on.
Of course, this is your average, protagonist remains absolutely clueless to the obvious, as her staff, her friends and husband attempt to tell Ellen something's a bit amiss with Carl's instant green thumb. Yet, it takes a stormy night, and a strangled cat (no kidding) to have it finally sink into her that Carl might be the illegitimate son of Pamela Isley. But not before making love to him in a lake.
At this point the protagonist does a 180, and starts investigating Carl's past employers, while Helena begins feeling her oats, and wants Ellen to fire Carl, so she can hire him.
Naturally the incomprehensible ending occurs with some wild tempest, to a point where we get the classic Strange Creatures ending, where you'll be whispering like Bill, 'seriously, what the hell was that?'
But enough of that, here are the top 3 reasons why The Gardener should be Riffed:
(1) Carl - Most ineffective antagonist of the film itself. No seriously, since all you really see of him is walking about topless throughout the garden, with establishing shots of the dangerous flowers. On occasion, he'll strike up a brief conversation with Ellen, if you want to consider the Barbarino-like responses 'conversation.'
In short, if your expecting Carl to unleash Poison Ivy powers all over the place, forget it. Basically, we are to assume he can grow instant blooms which apparently can kill by... spores... or invisible gas... who knows?
Heck, even Torgo had more lines and scenes in Manos... and that's saying something.
(2) The really out-of-place incidental music. Not since Jack Frost, does the director make us wonder if The Gardener is supposed to be a horror film, or just a rejected rom-com pilot. Because most of the time we hear nothing but upbeat music, even when we see Carl's establishing shots, where you would expect more creepy tunes with a Theremin. And the only time we DO hear appropriate incidental music is when Ellen begins wising up and investigating. And speaking of Ellen...
(3) The clueless protagonist: not even the Drugs Are Like That Kids could be as oblivious as Ellen. Sure, this was a classic trope in those 70 foreign horror films, but c'mon, throughout most of the film, she so amazed at how Carl can immediately produce beautiful flowers, it never really dawns on her, until that stormy night when she comes across the strangled cat, (Also what is up with cats being strangled by plants? What not have one OD'ed off of catnip instead?) Where her clueless personality suddenly switches to that of Jessica Fletcher and she starts adding up the fact Carl has been offing women with his flora, and tries rescuing her friend, with oddly disturbing and hilarious results.
In the end, I believe Mike, Bill and Kevin (or even Bridget and Mary Jo) should riff this one, just for the fact this thing really seems more like a blue movie with a topless man running about a garden, than an actual horror film.

Tom Clancy's Netforce (1999)
My god, this is one of the most unintentionally hilarious movies of our lifetime. I don't know how it isn't a camp classic like Hackers.
Best-selling author and Ubisoft shill Tom Clancy was executive producer of this 1999 made-for-TV turd, set in the "not to distant future" of 2005, where the FBI has established a special division called, not surprisingly, "Netforce", to police the Internet and protect America from those most dangerous of criminals who know how to hotlink to somebody else's JPG like some sort of monster.
Special agents Scott Bakula and Kris Kristofferson are put on the case when software genius and noted "friend of the president" Judge Reinhold designs a nefarious new web browser that allows him to hack into Netforce's own computer system, blow up car and buildings remotely, kidnap the first lady, and hold the entire Internet hostage!
To get answers, Bakula must seek advice from a Sims character of his murdered boss, visit some VR brothels, and scowl at lots of command prompts and IRC chat windows written in giant glowing size 50 green font. Oh, and because it's Tom Clancy, you can bet your bump stock that there are a crapload of scenes of soldiers in full combat gear Move! Move! Move!-ing, where everybody (and I do mean EVERYBODY) is require to maintain no less than two active laser sights on their person at any given time.
And just in case you were wondering if this movie somehow managed to surpass both 'Hackers' and 'The Net' in terms of idiotic computer-illiterate hacking jargon written on a word processor by a guy who need to consult a 300 page manual in order to log on to AOL, the first words you hear in the trailer are literally "we're in!", followed by Scott Bakula deeply distressed that "somebody's been hijacking the net bigtime!"
Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9ay-ar-gVY

Denis Villeneuve yelling at the camera, "Hey, look at me, I'm so brilliant!," to the overacting on the part of Amy Adams as she enters the alien surfboard and stares at either an Instagram filter or an old 35m camera lens, there is plenty of fun that can be had with this Oscar bait.
