torgosPizza · June 18, 2008, 03:45:12 PM

There are so many things to which drugs can be compared that to even attempt to catalog them would be an act of incomprehensible madness. Yet in this pastel colored, 1970's nightmare, two hard-of-hearing, loggorrheic pre-teens are up to the task! Have you always wondered, Are drugs like pumpkins? Like small willow saplings? Like those bags of cotton candy you can buy in gift shops? Find out as Mike, Kevin and Bill go once more unto the breach!

That's probably one of the funniest samples I've seen.

"Drugs are like harmless things that are not drugs."

Legos are pretty addictive, aren't they?

Yes they are. Damn you grandma!

Awesome short, I especially like "The Birds" reference. I totally didn't see that one coming.

*spit take*
Holy crap!! A short I've actually seen before! I got 3 DVDs of Prellinger Archives. One on Sex and drugs, one on Driver's Ed, and one on Patriotism. This is on the drug one. As soon as I saw the title I knew this is the same one! YES!!! Time to spend my money..

Yay, a short!

Arrgh! I try to order it but it keeps saying there is a problem processing my credit card.

Hang on. Don't try it anymore or it might still charge you.. Let me look.

(Sometimes banks don't like these smaller .99 cent purchases - they think it's a fraudulent charge..)

Okay I don't see any problems. GIve it a few minutes and try again - it's usually a problem at the gateway. If you still can't purchase after a while try using your credit card through PayPal. Not a good workaround but sometimes that way works when the other one doesn't.

EDIT: I figured it out. You are trying to pay for a $0.00 order. You are basically forced to buy it with your gift certificate that you earned this week.

That's something I'm looking to change in the near future - gift certs should be optionally applied.

Could you remove the gift certificate till tomorrow that way I can pay for this one and not have to pay for Sixth Sense?

This happened to me when I won 20 questions once: a short was released between the game and the Rifftrax release. I just got the short for free and paid $0.99 for Jurassic Park when it came out.

Anyone else think that baby in the sample was going to Hulk out kind of like the baby in Ang Lee's Hulk?

The team has easily outdone itself. AMAZING. I think some minor credit goes to just how whacked-out this short is, but if this were on MST3K it would easily beat Mr. B Natural. Hell, I'll go so far as to say:

It beats Mr. B Natural.

I'm going to hunt down each one of my slacker friends and force them to spend the measly sum you guys are asking for it.

What short?
