Title: Missed Opportunities
Post by: Junkyard on November 24, 2007, 11:21:55 AM
Were their any bits where you thought the guys missed an opportunity?

One I found-
When Fox claims that his pretense for having her climb into his lap was a good line. An incredulous "It was?" would have worked.

Many, but if you tried to include every possible riff, they'd overlap each other frequently. This movie requires at least two separate tracks to cover all the angles, and each of those angles could be covered in so many ways that you could produce multiple riffs for this movie and still not run out of material. Of course, that'd also mean you had to re-watch the movie multiple times to hear all the jokes, and I don't think that's good for anyone's sanity.

Perhaps a "supplementary" Round Table Riff down the road at some point would be in order, after we've had time to recover from this particular round of viewing alongside the official Rifftrax.

When they were talking about the two robots being brothers, I was waiting for a riff on what it would have been like to give birth to two of those things!

When ?Blackout? (the helicopter-y Decepticon) transforms to 'botform in the city, and his rotorblades stow over his back (looking very much like insectoid wings), I riffed;

Boy, mosquitoes are *big* this year!

I'm surprised they didn't comment on the Terminator music ripoff when Prime was fighting Bonecrusher.

When Prime was under the bridge hiding from the helicopters, Mike should have said "Oh, Optimus is going sing Under the bridge".

I think you can do that on your own, as you always do.

I take it as a compliment, since you are either implying that I have a large penis or that I'm in very good shape or both.

Or perhaps the top half of your body is capable of detaching from the lower part via a biomechanical hover unit in conjunction
with a biosealant in order to prevent bleeding.  :)

I think there are one or two transformers that do exactly that. :^)

Whoa, let's not go comparing people to Transformers.  Next you'll be calling ME a Go-Bot.

It's not that big of an insult. The Go-bot franchise was bought out by Hasbro a long time ago so they really don't exist anymore anyway. In fact, for a while there were some rinky-dink lines of miniature Transformers that were called Go-bots.

I can't believe that they didn't make any comments relating Tom or Crow.

Jeol H. got those names covered--he invented them.

Forgot about this one.

The guys really should have been more savage towards all the ridiculous product placement- especially the branded car, Mountain Dew machine and Xbox all in a row.

Post by: Junkyard on December 12, 2007, 07:08:01 AM
Yeah, they only made one or two jokes about the movie's most obvious insanity. Nokia, Mountain Dew, GM, Ho-Ho's, and other Bay movies, just to name a few shameless product placments.
