The Triumvirate

I discovered while looking through various trailers to movies on Youtube.

To be specific, the Cloverfield trailer, now that I think back. The parody poster of that same movie Rifftrax made was used as advertisement of this site which appeared next to the video.

Oddly enough, I heard about Rifftrax through a friend on the Clawcast IRC channel, when we were talking about 'awful furries'.  He brought up the clip from Saw 3, and after viewing it, I spent several hours perusing the site, and the fact that Mr. Nelson was involved pretty much sealed the deal.  I also like the idea of being able to do my own riffs very much.  Hopefully ya'll can expect to see some from me very soon.:3

Hey all!  Well, I can't really remember how I found the site exactly.  I was curious what the guys were up to, about a year and a half ago, I guess, and googled their names, or maybe just Mike's name at first, and voila!  Needless to say I was thrilled and I've been a Rifftrax fan ever since.  I'm planning to finish off Indy 4 tonight, it's great.

Hey!  I heard about rifftrax through the MST Info site.  I've been here several times but this is my first time on the board.  It's so fantastic to see that, between Rifftrax and Cinamatic Titantic, Mike, Joel, and the 'bots are all back making fun of crazy movies  :highfive:.

I don't really remember - it was either the MST3K community on LiveJournal, or MST3Kinfo, but it was probably on the same day Rifftrax was announced.

Wikipedia. I think I was reading its MST3K entry... for some reason. I already know plenty about the show.

Kinda dorky, but I found out about something I've enjoyed very much since.
I used to have an image here, but Photobucket got cheap about remote linking. I guess I'll have to think of something witty instead. Which I will. Later. It caught me by surprise, in all honesty. It's hard to be clever on command, I mean, YOU try it. Be funny: NOW! See, tough. So, gimme a bit, 'kay?

I saw the every-other-chapter uploads of Daredevil and T3 on youtube while looking for mst3k episodes. Those are the best advertising rifftrax could have ever hoped for, they let you see a substantial chunk so you can really tell if this stuff is worth paying for.

They should let a little more leak out here and there instead of clamping down and getting the videos removed within minutes whenever somebody posts something. If it wasn't for those unauthorized uploads I never would have bought anything.

I first heard of RiffTrax on SomethingAwful.com (I'm not a member of that website, but I do read some of their forum threads and articles). From there, I found out it was on YouTube, and then I joined this forum so I could be a part of iRiffs (I myself am working on a RiffTrax style reworking of movies called "remixes" [I have some up on YouTube--go see them if you can]).

So that's how I came to be here. My name is LadyRemix. On YouTube, I'm FirstClassHeel.
Check out my remixed kids movies @ http://www.youtube.com/user/FirstClassHeel.
Coming soon--Remix Matinee, featuring all of my remixed movies.

THE QUEEN!!!

I heard about rifftrax by searching for MST3Ks on youtube and finding a few samples of rifftrax. Suddenly I heard Mike Nelson's voice riffing real movies--and the bots, too! I was so happy. So you guys should really add "youtube" to that poll.

Probably a good idea, I've spotted several people both on this thread and off that have mentioned finding a youtube sample or banner ad as their first introduction.

An excellent suggestion, and welcome!
