A bold new chapter here at RiffTrax - Kevin, Bill and I will be riffing live on a brand new short, Self-Conscious Guy. Just click the picture to learn more, or bookmark www.rifftrax.com/live and stop back at a few minutes before 9pm East Coast / 6 pm West Coast on Thursday, January 15th.

    How should fans dress for the event?

    If you’re doing as some sort of Cosplay, I’m royally screwed.

    Dress?!

    I’m gonna watch this just like I watch any rifftrax short, in the nude.

    Wow, I thought I was the only one.

    Is it me or is there something kind of ironic about riffing a short named “Self-Concious Guy” on the first ever live, unedited, you-make-a-mistake-and-we-can-make-fun-of-you-forever-for-it-oh-and-you’d-best-be-wearing-plenty-of-makeup Rifftrax?

    At least they aren’t riffing “Kevin Learns How to Wear Pants.”

    (And there’s no Rip Torn!)

    Something to be thankful for.

    “Just click the picture to learn more…”

    Suppose I want to learn less?

    So, is that January 16 03:00(3 am) in Denmark?

    Please tell me, I’d hate to miss any of it.

    Skål!

    And while we’re asking questions, how does Rifftrax’s “Perfect Sync Technology” stack up against the 2009 Nissan 370Z’s SyncroRev Match Manual Transmission?

    And to answer the question above mine. Yes, 3:00 am.

    Thank you very much, Mr Stamper.

    And now for some SLEEEEP!

    Yeah pretty sweet…and continuing with time zones…that’s 7:00 Arizona time…right?…we’re still 2 hours behind the east. Or is it an hour ahead of Cali.

    You know there are pros and cons to living in the only state that doesn’t change their clocks.

    I haven’t viewed one of these “live Riffs” before. What if I do it incorrectly? It’ll be just like at the gym all over again, with some sweaty muscle-head showing how inept I am in front of everybody. Then that girl I’ve been trying to impress will suddenly be “seeing somebody”.

    If that’s the “live us”, are the recorded riffs “the dead us”?

    This is major points for the Big Guy upstairs… (though I don’t believe him, that’s besides the point, OKAY!!!)

    ~THANKS~

    But how long will it be before we can all have a hologram of Kevin or Bill beamed into our living room to give us election stats?

    Imagine ghostly 3-d versions of the 3-riffers, standing next to your TV, and supplying riffs for the evening news.

  • 14 Ninjew on Jan 9, 2009 at 8:30 am

    Will you be offering the “Live” Riff version for sale?

    Or someone please capture the video.

    ….I don’t have the internet at home…..

    I’m gonna miss the whole thing!

    The can questions for Q&A be off topic, weird and unsettling?

    I don’t mean to respond to two of your posts in one day, but, is that a haiku?

    Reply from Laura on January 9, 2009:

    No, but it can be if you want it to…?

    I haven’t been this excited since Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka was a guest star on Piper’s Pit!

    Just Flash and possibly javascript. If you can see the video in the left hand bottom of the Live page that Mike linked to, you’re fine.
