I heard about it through Wikipedia. I read entries on Best Brains-->MST3k-->Mike Nelson-->RiffTrax.

 I found about about RiffTrax while looking up "Plan 9 from Outerspace" on Wikipedia. I looked at the bottom of the artical where they have related links to other Wikipedia articals and one of them was for Rifftrax. I clicked on that link, started to read it and my jaw nearly hit the ground in suprise! I came to Rifftrax, immediately bought the riff to Star Trek V and I was laughing myself into a bad headache within minuets.

Rifftrax are an excellent idea! You can riff any movie you want, MST3K fans get more of the great humor and the prices are great. Everybody wins!

I heard about it in a roundabout way. I followed a link from another forum to a youtube video. Someone mentioned rifftrax.com in the comments section and I followed it to riffing bliss.

Might have been me. I've seen a few people leaving comments like "Man I wish those guys were still around..." and so I leave a comment saying "RiffTrax.com!" or something similar :)

heh I did that yesterday, on IRC someone was all 'MST3K!!!' so I message them with the sample to STVI, and they are all like 'hey that's..!!' 'yep. check out www.rifftrax.com'.

I read about it in an offhand way too. I read Lileks.com for his daily blurbs and he hung out with Mike a couple of times when he lived in Minn. He mentioned Rifftrax and I came right on over.

I just tried that as well, unfortunately, I every time I went to post a comment or send a pm, I'd get a request to confirm My e-mail.  I would then go to my e-mail and click on the required link.  Then I would get a confirmation message. Then when next I went to post it would happen all over again.  Finally I had to clear my cookies, and restart My browser.  Now it says that my comments have been added, but I've yet to see evidence of that...

Me too, I love Lileks's Daily Bleat.  When I read about Mike's "new" project, months ago, I headed over to rifftrax.com right away (long time MST3K fan) and the only riff available was Roadhouse, so I put it the movie in our Greencine queue.  It arrived last week and I came back here to download the riff, and found so many more riffs available!  We watched Roadhouse last night and just about did laughing.  We'll probably try LotR tonight :)

Thanks, Mike and everyone!

Brought up in a conversation about the old mst3k episodes with my family i have discovered what the ms3tk crew was doing now a days by doing a google search and i had found this site. My first thought was... what is this? so i read and read and thought... now this is funny... looked at the sample videos and was hooked. I just bought the Star Trek 6 RiffTrax today.

Late, I know, but for me it had to be the good ole' Satellite news...which is still more interesting to me than the real news...

Wow!!!! Im gonna have fun with this website. I see there is a lot of people that have the same thing in common with me. We all think Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett are funny as hell. I found this website out because i kept seeing the word rifftrax everywhere when i would go to Youtube to watch MST3K. I though t it was a show at first then someone said it was a website and here i am. Im gonna have a mocha, kick back, and hang out on this website.
