Most people who are fans are going to be a little biased. So just be ya'lls selves and have fun with it. Sorry Mike, Kevin, Bill... I didn't mean to sound too much like "This is what you need to do so says me!" ...LOL I think people need to concentrate on being themselves and try less to be like our Riff heros.

(Not that anyone would word it so awkwardly.) This way, not only do I get the implicit blessing of RiffTrax, but they get to keep tabs on the competition! Er, I meant the loyal subjects. Or something. *tries to look inconspicuous* Also, I share some of your riff prejudice, Mr. Slick, because there IS some real crap out there. Hopefully it will remain out there, while the cream of the crap -- er, crop -- floats up to iRiffs.

I'm sure if that is the case then it has to be some what funny for it to pass. I myself have always wanted to try but I am waaaaaaaaaaaay too random for anything to work out.. :o) Well do the riffs that other people do have to be approved by Mike, Bill or Kevin first?

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 03:10:22 +0000 http://blog.rifftrax.com/2008/08/22/let-the-hazing-begin/#comment-14589 Eh, you know, there were (and still are) people who refuse to buy RiffTrax because it's not MST3K (or any number of other preconceived notions -- it's too hard, etc.). They don't know what they're missing. iRiffs won't reach everybody, but for those open-minded enough to try, I have a feeling they'll be in for many a treat. And maybe a few duds, too (I'll just apologize in advance for my own contributions*), but that's just part of the process. *Kidding! I've set a goal of at least mildly amusing 85% of the time or more, which I currently believe is attainable according to my latest spreadsheet.

People are busting their asses writing stuff, recording it and doing something they think is fun. You haven't tried even one of these products and you are passing judgement? For shame.

I started doing fan riffs on YouTube a few months ago with a friend of mine (and thanks to some helpful advice and encouragement from Josh Way), but this looks to be a cool new home for them. Also, the tips on audio/video are enormously useful! This iRiffs thing is so fantastic.
