New Short "Setting Up a Room" Now Available! (Intro sketch inside.)

[Darth Geek]

Dammit, let Conor in on the riffing already!

Agreed!

[vampirehunter42]

A RiffTrax staff riff, would make a great  RiffTrax Presents.


Alright, I am a couple of beers and some Wild Turkey and on my 4th time through this film.

Another unanswered question..... What else did Stanley Kowalski and Bolo Tie guy bring to the room?

Sexy teacher has some back...... focus

Here is a game for you.... Count the number of times she blinks. Bob Newhart blinks less than her.

"I just noticed this pegboard."

"Just try and come up with a more boring sentence!"

If I have learned anything from this short is it the need to check the doors.

And yea, I have to agree with the amazing size of this classroom. All we had was a play area a sleep area and a learning area.

[MartyS (Gromit)]

That one hurt.  Haven't laughed that hard in a while.

Woodworking?  Real enough to require goggles?  For 4 and 5 year olds? Really?  OK....

[Trekker4747]

That was my thoughts. Woodworking? The pegboard even had the outline of a saw on it! 

As funny as Connor can be in these videos the "purist" in me prefers Mike, Kevin and Bill in the riffing.  For me it may be interesting and funny to see him in the shorts and maybe the occasional riff, but, again for me, prefer MKB to me the primary Riffers.

Nothing against Connor as I do find him funny, but it's just the MST3K "purist" in me talking.

[eegah]

I loved the passive-aggressive banter between the two women, especially from the older one. The tension was palpable.

The best part was when the guys came in. It really did feel like it was going to evolve into a porno.

Funniest. Short. of. the. YEAR!

As soon as I saw the furnace, and the much needed ventilation for it, I just *knew* they were going to stack shit in front of it. Just like they moved those block shelves RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE WINDOWS. Can't open those windows during the warm days, now, can we?

Good stuff!

Which Mod/admin was that at the end of the skit?

[Phantom of Krankor]

The moral of this short: Show absolutely everything...

EXCEPT FOR HOW TO SET UP A FREAKING IRONING BOARD! Seriously, they mention doing it at least three times like it's a major plot point, and it's the one thing they don't bother ever showing!

What about the record player?! They clearly stated they were going to put a record player in the quiet time area, but they didn't show it! WHY!?!?!?!?!?

At the very end when they are panning around the room there is a portable record player in the music corner, next to the drinking fountain, go to 26:19.  It's closed, looks like a funny looking suitcase.

[Phantom of Krankor]

Oh thank god, the entire school year would have been ruined! The record player is essential because they use it for group activities.

Yeah, this short has gotten to me hasn't it?

This is another thought. At the start of the film the narrator said this was the day before classes start. This was the first time either of them were in this room, and the first time they have spoke to each other all summer. And they really only spent one afternoon on setting this thing up. Have they not watched  Individual Differences with Mr. Batchelder showing you must spend weeks building a stalking journal for each student in your class.

Curse you RiffTrax..... This pointless short has taken over my life. You just keep watching it trying to find out if you find what the point of it all was.

That was Sean Thomason, one of the writers.

I think he was asking what username he goes by here on the forum. And if he wasn't, I am. I've been wondering that for a while.

If you watch the walls you'll see they go from unpainted to painted, and other cosmetic improvements, so the film was shot over a period of at least a few days.   Which makes leaving in the cameraman sneezing even stranger, but movie film has never been cheap so I guess they couldn't afford to re-shoot that section.

I was also thinking that they were starting kind of late before classes start, but after a few more times watching I think the narrator says: "on a day before", not "the" day before.

Not a mod, just posts everyone once in a blue moon. Conor is of course "Conor".
