Best of Rifftrax Xmas Shorts Live (2009) 

"Prince of Space??"

Pitch’s weapons will have no effect on him!

Haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa...

Prince of Space!

That's how the audience could tell which one of them were MST3K fans. For my money, the best of their shows with Space Mutiny hot on its tail.

😂😂😂😂

^ ditto what Kelly Weingart Emoti-said

pigs will eat anything, they don't like sour flavours, but aside from that everything is game

Considering that the mad cow epidemic was caused by feeding cows ground beef that seems like an exceedingly bad idea...

LOL ROFLMAO

I was in a similar situation at 20:13 😂

😯

Mine's fabulous! 🧣

Actually my family put the tree up on Christmas Eve, but not in secret.

I'm thinking they were shown either to salespeople/grocers themselves (like "Out Of This World" or "The Selling Wizard") or to kids in Home Ec.

Such a great collection of live shorts, but that one takes the cake, or pork, especially with Weird Al doing such an amazing job riffing like he's been doing it for years.

@@wileyschmitt I got to see it on the big screen/live simulcast thing a few years back. 8) Also, didn't he make a guest appearance when they riffed one of the Jurassic Po-- er, Park movies?

@@AmyLSacks Ha! I'm not sure if he's ever riffed with them besides this, but it sure seems like he has, but him being a natural probably shouldn't be too surprising considering how talented he is.

@@wileyschmitt BTW, I swear: I have an old Bundt™ Pan promo booklet which really does have a (Pork) Sausage Cake recipe in it. I wish I was joking. o_0

And without Joel's genius and Mike's unique brand of humor all those shorts they've done would have simply vanished into total obscurity never to be laughed at.

How did you manage to stay awake?

Patchwork Penguin What’s that from?

@@kylestubbs8867 i made it up

Rarely does adding a guest riffer equate to being much better than the Three Amigos, but it shouldn't surprise me either since Al is so diversely talented.

Hats off to Weird Al Yankovic in putting aside his vegetarianism for riffing on a short about PORK...🐖

Happy Saturnalia

Happy Saturnalia!

It really boils down to whether Mike is involved in the writing or not, and it's simply the jokes, the rest can be done however goofy and zany as they want but the feature film has to have good riffing and writing for it to closer to the standard we were spoiled with during most MST3K years. There's a reason why Cinematic Titanic wasn't that good, *whistle whistle* "No Mike" (hope someone gets that reference, but from what I know of msties they will get it pretty quickly).

@@wileyschmitt Yes I recall Cinematic Titanic. Saw a free episode on Amazon Prime once. I...can't even bother to remember which one it was, it was so forgetful. No offense to Joel, lord knows he started the whole thing, it's just Mike added a very necessary quality to the show. An edge so to speak.

@@primepm8861 Exactly, and Joel's creative genius were obviously the most important or nothing would've ever been conceived, but humor, though it comes in many varieties which requires a show like this to need multiple writers, is also rare when it comes to quality. Does it also seem that as the years go on this is getting less and less? I don't seek out newer comedy movies, TV shows, or stand up comedians, but I also surprisingly haven't come across much of anything newer that was particularly funny (aside from maybe Rick and Morty, but look how bad the Simpsons got merely due to changing writers).

@@wileyschmitt People don't tend to realize how difficult good comedy writing is, and to have comedic geniuses like Mike, Bill and Kevin still willing to engage in this material after all these years is a blessing to mankind. I can count on one hand the number of TV shows (and, by proxy, writing) that has directly influenced my life over the last 40 years, but MST3K is one of them for certain.

And Happy Hanukkah, Kicking Kwanzi, Socking St Stevens Day, Rocking Ramadan....

I'm going to celebrate the Rocking Dennis Rodmandan this season.

A Gerald Ford Christmas!

“The Al Pacino of trees”

“Whoa, I’m a tree!”

I agree with that! 😍

The train is a LIE...😑

?

@@wileyschmitt That's a repeated line during the Christmas Tree short. Didn't make the cut on this vid

@@MrSleepyweezul Ah now I remember, good one!

You want it specifically on DVD? The website might have some options, but usually their live shows are on Blu Ray discs.

@@wileyschmitt thanks for the reply

@@UtopianMagic1408 If you're ever looking for streaming sites to watch Rifftrax on try Pluto TV, oh, and eBay sometimes has Rifftrax blu rays, maybe DVDs too.
