Washing your hands after using the restroom - most of us only do so because a fellow co-worker is in the bathroom with us, and we wonder if he'll tell other people if we don't. But evidently, we should be doing this even when a co-worker isn't there. It's a "Good Health Practice." Another example is eating fruits and vegetables instead of gorging on sweets. This too, is usually the type of thing one starts doing only after noticing that your pile of empty Milk Dud boxes is drawing stares from your co-workers. But it's also a "Good Health Practice."

Yes, for some reason, "Good Health Practices" was recently made mandatory viewing for all employees here at RiffTrax. The delightful tale of Jim and Judy learning how to lead healthy lives has really caused us to turn a corner. We have more energy, sleep better, and the Milk Dud boxes have been arranged into a whimsical structure resembling a tortoise. Mike, Kevin and Bill are here to riff what may be the finest childrens Health Film since "Three of The Bobbsey Twins Get the Plague."

Enjoy and stay healthy!

I remember that one... it took place at a McDonald's plague-ground!

anyone else have problems with the wmv? Mine works fine until the 7 minute mark and it just stops. I checked my system and everything looks fine, played a few of the others shorts and they played all the way through. Just curious if it's just me or others had this happen,

This short was so great I had to wash my hands several times.

the same thing happened to me. i tried various things to fix it (i even put extra elbow grease in my hair) but nothing worked. i thought it might've been a corrupted file so i re-downloaded it, but alas....that didn't work either.

I'm reeling over the fact that someone thought children needed a video to tell them how to go to the bathroom. Holy cow.

Good riffing. I'd have added just two things: Right after the "everything in the world is like a car" riff, throw in a "drugs are like that." A little surreal, maybe, but I think it could work. And then with "the world is full of beautiful things," I'd toss in a "the good and the beautiful" reference from Phantom Planet.

Or maybe I'm just overthinking this.  :) Anyway, again, good riffing.

Yeah, I had the same problem too.  Apparently it's only the .wmv file, since others are saying that the other formats are working fine. :-\  Hadn't had a chance to get the other ones to find out for myself, though.

Having problems how? Usually the issues are temporary - and have to do with our payment gateway. If you're still having trouble purchasing let me know.

Wow. That was painfully hilarious, especially the "toilet practices" stuff. Holy cow.

My wife, who actually cannot LOL, looked like she was going to die. Usually when she finds something really funny, her face turns beet red and she has a huge grin while her eyes start tearing up. This time, she looked like she was in horrible pain. But in a good way.
