Hm. It probably wasn't rifftrax then.

I guess I claim immunity. I enjoy the educated/intelligent/cultured jokes, as well as the fart/masturbation/fat jokes. One should "branch" out. Maybe you're taking yourself too seriously. Not a blatant criticism, more of a constructive one. At least I hope it is.

I can't think of many jokes that I dislike, but I do know that sometimes a joke can be used too much. Like "Magneto? Cerebro". Oh, and pretty much all two of those Scooby Doo jokes in the Batman and Robin rifftrax. Though technically, that one's not really their fault. Sorry writer guy.

I still like the According To Jim jokes cuz that show is offensive to me on a subatomic level.  It triggers primordial terrors.  Like a sensory depravation chamber.

Yeah the According to Jim jokes are fine by me, frankly I'm impressed at the different ways they come up with to work it in (The "According to Jim salute" riff in the SWHS is my favorite so far)

If any enterprising person out there were to want to make a montage of all the daddy day camp/according to jim jokes, that would be pretty amazing.

Also, they can tone down the "This movie is so terrible it hurts me to watch it!!" jokes. In lieu of something clever or funny, they throw these in there a bit too much. That's why I hated the Star Wars Episode 3 riff. It was just more of the same and nothing new.

This. I haven't watched that many Rifftrax, yet, so maybe my observation is not entirely accurate, but it seems that the what I've seen had a LOT. For all I know though, the ones I've seen could be the only ones that had these jokes.

Usually these kinds of jokes are most common in Mike / Kevin riffs. Star Wars Episode I is full of them...

Heck you could throw in all the Crebro Magneto jokes into a montage too. (personally I liked them).

The K-Fed jokes got to be a bit much, but then again they even joked about how they were using it too much too. Jokes about jokes...man its getting 'too deep'   :-\

I will make the montage if people pm me dvd time codes of when they occur, or when you notice one pm me.  Otherwise, I'm not gonna go through all 50 plus episodes looking for them.  I'm a sad, sad man but even I am not that sad.  It would take a sad, sad, sad, sad man at least.

I could go along with a 3-5 fart joke cap per riff trax.  Well timed and executed they can be awesome, but any more than that it starts getting lazy.  Of course I just got back from seeing Superhero and they went to the fart well WAY too many times in that movie.  It's just freaking lazy.

The only real complaint I have though seems to have gone away with time: the self congratulatory "Oh ho ho Mike!  No you didn't just go there!" kind of admiration for a vicious riff.

So I really have nothing to complain about overall.

I never really have a problem with any joke. I still chuckle at the Daddy Day Camp jokes and such. Still love a good Schnappi reference.

As for the "Kill Me" stuff, I think it is still valid. They are kinda forced (by Mike(and us)) to watch the crap. It is still painful. I've paid to go see movies and wish someone would kill me right then and there. I was free to leave, but still sat through it wishing I were dead. Same thing.

Can anyone give me an example of the Daddy Day Camp joke? And also, what is the Schnappi joke? I've heard it but don't understand it.

I actually like them referencing their other material. It makes having watched the earlier ones even funnier. The references to the pod race and star wars holiday special being particularly funny something like "I almost prefer a good pod racing scene to this" XD

Also, fart jokes are funny if placed correctly. Some of them aren't placed correctly, but others are perfect. I think they are getting better at the placement too, as I found the ones in SW Ep III much better than the earlier ones.  Or maybe it's just that Yoda's gassy face is funnier in Ep III....

After watching the video I am now more confused. Is it supposed to be funny or something?
