Christmas Shorts Rifftrax Live

[TeamRAD]

Hi Ho!!

Man, that Rudolph short was insane! I was gonna take a shower but settling for a caramel sundae instead.

Great job, guys, and Happy Holidays!!!

Oh yah, Prince of Space callback was awesome.  I was watching that ep yesterday.  The stop-motion doll was the creepiest thing I've ever seen.  I couldn't breath and was crying during the uncomfortable innuendos of rudolphs episode.  

When I saw the toy with the hidden camera I laughed so hard I almost became comatose.

The sad part is you just knew they meant for these just to be fun and cutesy toys for kids but they were designed so poorly some of them ended up being some of the most disturbing things known to man.

What a great show.  A crappy cell pic.  I'll mess with them later in photoshop

Hopefully we'll get a chance to buy the shorts from the show (besides the freebie and the two already available for purchase)

That was a fantastic show.  I was in Springfield MO and we had no technical troubles.  One thing to keep in mind about the goodies is that last time it wasn't until the next day that the link worked and there was even a link for it on the site.  You didn't have to search for it or anything.  I thought it was strange to make such a big deal about Weird Al and he didn't sing or anything.  Not much for him to do.    

And I'm sorry but I think Kevin has nice legs.  I felt like that clip appealed to the lowest common denominator and was below them but still, nice legs.  I guess after a half a lifetime of The Horror Picture Show I'm used to that sort of thing and it didn't phase me.

And how about that great scarf Bill had?  Almost Dr.Who?-like.  I bet he was hot under those stage lights though.

Our theater screwed up and showed previews until about 8:15, then started to show "Old Dogs" before we started yelling and they fixed it. What did we miss?

They started with the already broadcast shorts.

The Christmas Toyshop riff. http://www.rifftrax.com/ondemand/christmas-toyshop

Followed by

A Visit to Santa http://www.rifftrax.com/shorts/visit-santa


BTW: I hope they at least gave you a free pass for that mess-up.

Had a great time. My cheeks hurt from laughing. Geyest Rudolph Ever. quote: "I need you tonight." Whoa. Easy Santa. Don't let mom hear you as you kidnap Rudolph in his bed like that!

The swimming short fell a little flat, mostly everyone just kept wincing when they did a belly flop every time. At what point did they finally invent diving?

Technical problem: The local theater had a weird video issue this time, it looked blurry like analog tv on a twenty year old tube tv and the color was way off, the guys looked like they had jaundice! And for some reason there was a weird plaid overlay on the video, like they had a thin plaid cloth over the lens.

Overall score: 8
Would have been a 9 if not for the swimming short, it kinda stopped the momentum.
Could have easily been a 10 if only Weird Al had done one song.

  I was hoping there was going to be a big climax to the swimming short but it was just too far out of place with the rest of the show.  Sorry to hear that there was technical problems with the telecast crowds.  I had to skip out on the after party up at the Stone Brewery which I am now regretting.

Considering there was an "Old Dogs"-related riff, that seems oddly appropriate.

Great show. I agree the swimming short, er, bellyflopped. But the rest was hilarious. The pork short made Manos look like Casablanca. That thing was surreal.

[yeahsonic]

There was a HUGE explosion of laughter at that one line, maybe even LOUDER than the whole live audience put together! It was so AWESOME! I was hoping they'd start singing the INXS song, too!

"There's something about you, green-horned caribou... that MAKES ME SWEAT!"

Well done, RiffTrax gang. Well done! Let's also not forget Weird Al. He's not chopped liver -- er, pork.

( : )

Just got home from the latest Rifftrax Live -- another great show!

On behalf of all of us watching in Fort Worth, thanks to Mike, Kevin and Bill for "remembering" us again.

"Rudolph... I need you tonight."
