RiffTrax Shorts

Some people say that good old-fashioned common courtesy is dead. And we here at RiffTrax think those ugly jerks should keep their crusty mouths closed if they know what's good for 'em! Oh, we're kidding, but if you think we'd hold the elevator for you as you approached rather than hurriedly push the "Close Door" button while avoiding eye contact, you've got another thing coming.

Meet The Customer, three time finalist for the title of Most Disrespected Man in America. No matter where he goes: the bank, the supermarket, even his job, somebody is waiting to ignore him, inconvenience him, or throw confetti in his face while laughing uproariously.

Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill as they hurl stale Twinkies at passing kids who are Walking to School. And once they're done with that part of their everyday morning routine, they will watch the short Walking to School!

Improve Your Pronunciation imagines speech instruction, not as a private lesson with a certified professional, but as a garish game show hosted by the one and only Ned Blandford! No, you should not look into his criminal record. Seriously, it won't be good. Just watch as Ned takes the shame of these poor speakers, "grunters", and "smudgers", and airs it out for the world to see!

In this short, you'll examine different jobs, and how they deal with customers. Mostly it's by passing the buck. But it also touches on advanced methods, such as the dog trainer who didn't think she dealt with customers, until she realized that she does. Mike, Kevin and Bill pry the hush puppies out of their noses and team up to riff Basic Job Skills: Dealing With Customers.

You're not familiar with common phrases like O-walking and K-walking? Are you curious how to avoid these deadly pitfalls? Intrigued by the subtle differences between the A-Walker and the Y-Walker? Then this is the short for you! Fire it up and watch a delightful collection of dumb kids play in traffic. If you notice a reduced desire to be a Q-Walker afterwards, you can thank us.

Vaughn Monroe, best known for singing "Riders in the Sky" in the short Vision in the Forest, loves the great outdoors, and so does his family, despite the fact that two of them appear to be the living dead. His youngest daughter encounters Smokey the Bear in the forest and learns an important lesson: stay the hell away from grown men who dress as Smokey the Bear and lurk around the forest.

Badger gets sprayed by a skunk and then encounters other woodland creatures who seem more indifferent than hostile to him. Well I guess that wouldn't really equal a "Good Day." Though does that by definition make it a "Bad Day"? Mike, Kevin and Bill consider any day involving badgers to be a Good Day.
