You and Your Family. Much like gunpowder and an open flame, combining the two is not recommended (especially if mom's been drinking.) But every now and then a scenario arises where you must remove your iPod's ear buds, emit a contemptuous, full-bodied sigh and actually interact with your family.* You and Your Family is the must-have guide to how to handle these situations with a minimum involvement of municipal services.

Each scenario in You and Your Family plays out in several different ways, and you the viewer are left to decide which would be the most effective course of action. It's like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book, except that instead of reading about The Lost Jewels of Nabooti**, you decide whether to help mom with the dishes. Imagine Rashomon with slightly more Room-Storming-Off-To, and you've got You and Your Family.

Riffers Mike, Kevin and Bill each assume the "You" in You and Your Family is referring to one of the other two guys.

*These situations include holidays, birthdays and everybody pretending that you're taking grandpa to the Baseball Hall of Fame when you're really dropping him off at a home.

It's a short, short but an instant classic. I've felt the recent run on shorts has produced mostly good but not great material. This one was great! . My review

This was certainly my favorite short of the past few months. The lead teen reminded me just a little of the "squishy" girl in the MST3k short.

I mean, we could turn on the radio and dance at home, but the 22 minutes of ads an hour might kill the party...

Good, it's fun and doesn't wear out it's welcome.
