September 17th, 2008 by Bill Corbett · 11 Comments
(I was going to post these later this week, but couldn’t face two straight days of the pee-pee golf club at the top of our front page.)
Len Peralta at Jawbone Radio, a multitalented bloke if ever there was one, has turned the two latest SONG FU entries into 100% certified USDA art.
Here are the matching [...]

BAD SONG OF THE WEEK*: I Kissed a Girl.
September 15th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 35 Comments
It started with my niece Laurel, and now all of my nieces and nephews are using their aural youthiness to identify the songs which most compel them to perceive the world as a horrible place. This week’s offering:
KATY PERRY: I Kissed a Girl
It was inevitable that this song would hit the BSOtW list eventually; [...]

We had a week to throw together a song. Here was our assignment:

Hurricane yIKEs!
September 12th, 2008 by Conor Lastowka · 33 Comments
From today’s cnn.com home page. When your first bullet point for an article is “forecasters warn hurricane may bring ‘certain death‘”, perhaps you should rethink the horrible pun in the headline.

Endless Loop of Raccoons
September 10th, 2008 by Conor Lastowka · 32 Comments
There’s very little that needs to be said about the above video, except that I can all too easily envision a scenario where terrorists somehow slip THC into our nations water supply and use an endless loop of this video to keep everyone busy while they take over the world. Kudos to anyone who [...]

Back to Basics
September 10th, 2008 by Mike Nelson · 22 Comments
We’ve gone off track here at the RiffTrax blog. What was meant to be a repository for up-to-the-minute information on bacon has been distressingly bacon-free as of late. I blame myself*. I bring a peace offering: Bacon Flavored Vodka.
The quasar created by CERN should just now be gnawing its way through the core of the [...]

Equal time for small, timid animals
September 10th, 2008 by Bill Corbett · 31 Comments
For the approx. twenty-seven years the Rifftrax Blog has been up and running, I’ve posted on occasion about animals who are freakishly big:
RABBITS that could take on a grizzly.
CRABS that could take on a giant, grizzly-killing rabbit.
R.O.U.S.A.D.*
So it’s time to acknowledge that not all animals can be gargantuan, intimidating, or existentially [...]

Notability
September 9th, 2008 by Conor Lastowka · 13 Comments
As I’m sure many of you often do, I was browsing the wikipedia entry for my high school today. Probably about four years ago, my friend Greg Harrell-Edge and I decided to exploit this new Wikipedia thing and add ourselves to the “notable alumni” section. (Note: The section includes the screenwriter of Ben Affleck’s “Reindeer [...]

Rogenomics 101 Part 2: The Hill Curve
September 9th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 13 Comments
One of the most exciting aspects of Rogenomics is its ability to adapt to new Hollywood trends yet remain the most accurate predictor of their outcome. Last time we observed some basic principles; now let’s observe one of the recent additions to the pantheon of Leading Rogenomic Indicators (LRI’s), Jonah Hill. Jonah has dependably [...]

Merv Griffin Enterprises Switcheroo
September 8th, 2008 by Conor Lastowka · 11 Comments
The Wheel of Fortune/Jeopardy hour. Not just a juggernaut of TV to watch while stuck at distant relatives houses, both shows are actually quite entertaining on their own, (though Wheel of Fortune mainly in slot machine form.) However, if you’re like me, you don’t give them much thought, and haven’t been excited about them in [...]
