Am I the only one having trouble loading the Rifftrax website? It just freezes.

I'm on fine. I wonder if it's related to the issue you were having with videos?

WTF did i just watch?
I have seen it and now I can't unsee it.

Still very funny.

I got the Rifftrax page to load and work for me. I had to delete my browser history. Not sure why. Or what kind of setting I should change to not have to do that in the future.

I concur with this.

Also, this was...exhaustingly weird.

I think the only response is simply

Fun in Balloon Land
Feature film · 2014

Kindergartners in gold lamé diapers, a maniac parade host, and something called The Marrying Turkey—then Santa shows up.

With Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett



We would say that Fun In Balloonland is our favorite RiffTrax movie that we've ever done, but there's just one problem: it's hard to really describe it as a movie. It is an event. To attempt to describe its plot to you would be like attempting to divide by zero. There are balloons, there are kids, there is a parade, and there were mercifully cameras rolling to capture the madness. It's a spectacle so cracked and baffling that you'll have to double check to make sure it wasn't recorded at Pirates World, home of Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny.

In fact, the Ice Cream Bunny would have taken one look at this flick and begged off saying "Too weird for me man! Even I have my limits! Oh whoops, lost another kid off the back of the fire engine. Well, you're gonna get that." Fun In Balloonland throws a whole casserole of crazy at the screen: kindergartners in gold lamé diapers, giant Indian stereotypes, a maniac of a parade host, blow fish who halfheartedly tell jokes, a lengthy guessing game, The Farmer In The Dell, two headed cats, and something called The Marrying Turkey. Then Santa shows up. Trust us, it will all make sense when you sit down and watch it.*

We've been holding this one back for the holiday season ever since we discovered it at the beginning of the year and we're delighted to finally present—no, unleash would be the better word—we're delighted to unleash it to all of you. Please join Mike, Kevin, Bill, and the Marrying Turkey for: Fun In Balloonland.

*100% untrue.

That is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen in my life.

It's like a 9year old David Lynch tried to make the gateway movie to Eraserhead with an 8mm camera, Scotch tape and a hopped up maiden aunt on narration.

Well, now I'm all for Pincushion Man's murderous rampage!

You know when you lay on your arm weird and it "falls asleep" and then when you move it slaps you and you don't realize it because your face feels your hand but your hand doesn't feel you face?

And then that tingling sensation you get when the arm starts to "wake up."

This movie was a lot like that, only with my brain.

While running on four days without sleep.

And having a 105-degree fever.

Not as god awful as Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny, but not what I'd really consider a movie either. Thought the price was a bit much for something that clocked in at under an hour, but sure as hell wouldn't have wanted to be any longer either. Enjoyed it once for the riffs, but don't really ever want to watch it again and glad I watched it without the wife because I doubt I could have gotten her to sit through the whole thing.
