Due to popular demand that we cease splitting shorts and just charge the extra buck already, here is the first attempt at doing just that.



Lindsay Lohan's meteoric rise to fame, and subsequent collapse in the glare of its harsh spotlight, is just a recent iteration of a tale as old as time. Many are quick to judge her, but in a world where the lines between tabloid news and honest journalism are increasingly blurry -- excuse me? Say what now? Who? Oh, my mistake. Yes, I see.

The Story of a Teenage Drug Addict is the story of a teenager with plenty of reasons to become a drug addict. Everyone insists on calling him a teenager and making him attend high school, despite his obvious age of 40. He lives in a shoebox of a tenement apartment with his corpse-like mother, trading stories about why dad left in their constantly-shifting New York-ish accents. And, perhaps most damning of all, he has a unibrow that would make Captain Caveman blush. Unga bunga, indeed.

With circumstances like these, what chance does our protagonist have against the temptations of dope, H, uppers, downers, sidewinders, lefties, righties, Betty Boopers, flim-flam-dongs and other fake drugs of the past? Will he turn back from the brink in time, or be consumed by a life of late night jazz parties with unfortunate-looking teens? Where on Earth are his tweezers?

Learn the answers to these questions and try to achieve a contact high with Mike, Kevin, and Bill as they turn the grim pages of The Story of a Teenage Drug Addict!

Once Again: This short is $1.99 because of the length and complaints in the past about splitting the longer shorts, so we're trying something new.

Awesome news on keeping the shorts together.

Any chance of getting the old shorts released as single-parters?

That's awesome.  I love the riffs on new movies and all, but the shorts (especially the longer ones) are my favorites.

Wait a minute!  If it had been in two parts it would have cost $1.98!  Sneaky bastards.

Seriously though, I'd rather have the shorts as a whole then in pieces so thanks.

I didn't mind them being split apart, I just minded them being released weeks and months apart and apparently recorded separately as evidenced by Veronica Belmont not being in the second half of American Thrift.

Outstanding. Thank you thank you, from the bottom of my bitchy little heart, thank you for not splitting this in two.

Very funny material, the main character's manner of speach was a hoot and a half in and of itself.

Praise the heavens (oh, and Rifftrax, I guess) for not splitting this mutha up!  I like the nice long shorts...  Reminds me of the nice long Assignment: Venezuela short from yesteryear!  Thank you guys for keeping the longer short together.  I hope this will be popular enough to be standard.   :clap:
