Ghost Rider

[MartyS (Gromit)]

The short itself isn't all that bad.  But still plenty of riffable stuff.

But they seemed to miss one obvious joke/observation.  This was the same bus route the ghost girl took, right?  The new kid moved into her house so it must be...  So, one year later and that same route has another accident?  And all the kids on that same bus route don't seem to remember the girl that died or the fatal accident or how to exit the bus?

Watch the ICWXP version of this short........it is a riot.

I'll get this one when another 8 are ready for my next volume of 8 shorts..

This is the second time RiffTrax has picked something that ICWXP has already riffed which I don't prefer but they are public domain so they're up for grabs to anyone I guess

Rifftrax is far more entertaining for riffs anyway.

Very funny Riff. It's not a "terrible" short just an odd one that I think also has a bit of a muddy message. I, too, found it odd that this
bus apparently crashed AGAIN for the second time inside of a year, this second accident could have killed a bus-load of kids too had it not been for our protagonist.  (And the bus didn't explode when it crashed at the bottom of the ravine?! Come-on! Short!)   Some oddities in this short, too, that I'm surprised the guys didn't pick up on, namely the girl having a standard #2 pencil with her name carved into it (Yeah, I know you can buy those but they're hardly common at all) and that that pencil apparently was rolling around the bottom of a bus for a year.  I also didn't see the "third coffee pot" Mike points out in the kitchen scene but, meh.  And, really, short. You felt the need to point out the kitchen lack of whatever spice that was it was missing?!

They also could have poked a lot more fun at the scrawny kid "lifting weights."  Still, a good short. 8/10.

I'll get this one when another 8 are ready for my next volume of 8 shorts..

You only put 8 on a disc?! I put as many on there as disc will hold! (I also do it as a file so I can add more if need be.)

2 on the stove, one she starts to take out of the box next to the stove but then puts it back in the box.

Okay, watched it again and,  THREE coffee pots?!  Ha! Nice catch, Mike.  And the outrage the mother expresses over the missing garlic salt is also awesome. 

And ammonia capsules???

Well, the mother was so fat, that makes sense.

Whenever I see women of that era I think of Mike's line from "Incredible Melting Man" when he sees the wife of Dr. Ted Nelson: "I had my breasts lowered and my hips pulled out at odd angles, I hope that's alright with you."  Then Crow's line, "Oh. Her "area" dominated her front side."

I got the entire episode that has the short, with the werewolf in a girls dorm movie and just finished watching it.   It was enjoyable when they are in the theater, the "host segments" not as much.  So, good but several notches below Rifftrax.

Only two more shorts and I buy and it's time to make a new DVD.

Time for me to get started on the cover........this weekend, for sure!

Unless I get stuck watching all the Euro Soccer and NASCAR that is on.

Barcelona fan?

[Bob]

I like them, but I am more of an English Premier league fan.

I love how the lowest teams just get kicked out of the league and have new ones replace them.  Man, if baseball in the US did that we would no longer have the Pirates or Astros.

I'm counting only 4 new shorts (including this one) since the last volume cover of 8 was made..
