Rank The Room

I know it was mostly because of the movie choice but I laughed harder at this riff then any riff since I first was introduced to Rifftrax.  Easily a 10 except the Disembaudio and folk song filler parts during the sex scenes.  I understand that's all they can really do at those parts so its not like its their fault.  But I still have to give it a 9 overall.  This is definitely in my top 5 though.

Ranking this one was VERY difficult.   I was laughing the entire time, but I also laughed at it unriffed too.

I can see why the guys did not want to riff over sex scenes, so the Disembodio skits were pretty darned clever.

I gave it a solid 9/10

Haven't watched it yet, but I'm a little disappointed to hear the sex scenes didn't get any riffs. Some of the visuals beg for them.

There are some comments directed at the visuals. But I thought the way they handled it was great.

Really good rifftrax. Even though this movie did cause some serious mental anguish... at least they made it fun! One of there strongest riffs to date. The sex scene gags were just okay for me, but everything else was gold. Hunting down a copy of this movie for the riff will be worth the effort!

Appropriately bad movie and the Riff was pretty good, but, seriously, a little Disembaudio goes a long way.

It isn't the best ever, that crown goes to the SW Holiday Special, but I did give this 'trax my 2nd 10. Bravo, guys!

You people are WEAKLINGS!!!  The Disembaudio bits were my favourite part of the whole thing.  I laughed my arse off every time they came back in.

The Wendy/Walter part especially made me laugh. I don't know if they did it on purpose, but electronic composer Wendy Carlos used to be Walter Carlos....  coincidence?!

You're tearing me APART, Lisa!!

I gave it a 10.
...and there he was, reigning supreme at number two.  The One... The Only... The Unabeefer.

The Good:

- The classic formula: Ego with money makes a pretentious film where he does everything including boinking the girl half his age -- and the crew rip it apart. It's what made MST3k great, and it's what makes Rifftrax great.

- Mike's Tommy is so dead-on that I thought some of those comments were actually from the movie.

- The singing at the end to pass time during a final gross scene. I wish more of the cover-ups where that fun.

The Not Bad, but Not as Good:

- I agree that a little Disembaudio is usually enough. That the bits dragged on and on and were hard to hear above the bad music didn't help. I was hoping for a little more of the mentioned "warning" to the sex scenes than Dis's family showing up with tranny jokes. At least towards the end they were actively trying to think of anything else than what was going on screen by singing.

- Room jokes before they happen in the movie. Not everyone is familiar with this thing, so watching this for the first time was a little confusing. Just because they can get away with tormenting first-timers at a Rocky Horror showing doesn't make it a good idea.

I'll bet that is what they were referencing.  Although didn't Wendy Carlos start the other way and go from man to woman?
