RiffTrax Shorts

Folks, there is no dancing around this issue: the plot of the first ever Norman short is that Norman uses a public restroom. Fans of Norman should grunt, groan, and probably steer clear of the can for at least half an hour after Norman's been in there in what is truly one of the top three shorts where Norman roots around in a toilet. See where it all began in: Norman Krasner.

This installment finds Norman losing battles to a taxidermy convention, the magic fingers on a pre Civil War mattress, a television, and even exposing himself to a helpless maid. To reiterate: this short finds Norman in the bathroom once again, except this time, he is NUDE. So kick off your shoes, put your feet up on the stained comforter, and check in with America's least favorite guy, Norman!

You're The Judge tells the story of two high school girls who want to get the attention of two boys who would rather be bowling. In a world where Snapchat and sexting do not exist, they're forced to do this the old fashioned way: by goading the boys into entering an elaborate three-course cooking contest and rigging the result.

Presented in this short are four separate fights that occur on a preschool playground that also seems to double as a Russian work camp/garbage heap. This precocious little tykes hurl sand, steal from each other, and gang up on scapegoats with no intervention from their teachers whatsoever. Presumably the adults are all inside watching a terrible short instructing them how to stop fights.

There's one thing plaguing the perfect life of every wealthy "middle-class everyman" - that most treacherous of beasts, the common yard dandelion! But not for long, because the greenskeeper at our man's country club has some advice - grab a big metal canister and drench your property in Weed-No-More! It's safe for dogs, kids, heck you can stir it into your Yoo-Hoo if you want!

Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...a kid wearing underoos who's way too old to be wearing underoos AND who is obsessed with a superhero named Rescueman. Rescueman teaches kids about bus safety the only way that the state of Pennsylvania knew how: incompetently with an absurd emphasis on bending your knees when you jump out of the bus. Join us, true believers!

We can all agree that Classroom Discipline is great. But what good is it if you can't maintain it? Fortunately we have this short, which comes with the delightful realization that "Wow, they actually expected adult professionals to watch this." Find an eraser to hurl and synchronize your watches so you'll know when to drop your textbooks. It's time for Maintaining Classroom Discipline!

Those sick freaks at Coronet have done it again. Clowns. Just when you thought they'd run out of ways to spread a one minute lesson out over the course of ten minutes, they brought in clowns. What is the short actually about, other than clowns? It was something about showing you the pieces of a story and then seeing if you can put them in order. Well, Waiting For What Are You?
