In season 1 episode 6 of RiffTrax Shorts, entitled "Right or Wrong," viewers will be treated to a collection of bizarre and hilarious short films from the 1950s and 60s. The RiffTrax team, made up of comedy veterans and former stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000, provide witty and irreverent commentary throughout, pointing out the absurdity of each film and making fun of their outdated cultural references.

The episode kicks off with an educational film called "Right or Wrong," which is designed to teach high schoolers about ethical decision-making. The RiffTrax team quickly tears this apart, mocking the overly dramatic acting and the simplistic scenarios depicted. They also take aim at the ridiculous premise of a group of high school students being able to solve all of the moral quandaries of the world.

Next up is a film called "Harm Hides at Home," which is ostensibly a public service announcement about the dangers of household chemicals. However, as the RiffTrax crew gleefully points out, the film is filled with unintentionally hilarious moments, such as the dramatic depiction of a woman accidentally spraying furniture polish on her face. The team also couldn't resist making fun of the dated fashions and hairstyles on display.

In "Act Your Age," viewers are treated to a cringe-inducing film about the importance of acting like a mature adult. The RiffTrax team is quick to mock the stilted dialogue and wooden acting, as well as the absurdity of grown adults being treated like misbehaving children. They also have a field day with the bizarre use of a ventriloquist dummy to demonstrate the importance of "acting your age."

The next film, "The Values of Home," is an overly sentimental depiction of the perfect family home. The RiffTrax team mercilessly skewers this film, pointing out the absurdity of trying to create a "perfect" home environment and mocking the flowery language and saccharine soundtrack. They also can't resist making fun of the extremely dated depictions of gender roles and family dynamics.

Finally, the episode wraps up with a film called "The Terrible Truth," a cautionary tale about the dangers of gossip and spreading rumors. The RiffTrax team has a field day with this one, mocking the melodramatic acting and ridiculous premise. They also can't resist poking fun at the film's overly dramatic title and its tendency to use scare tactics to try to get its message across.

Overall, "Right or Wrong" is a hilarious episode of RiffTrax Shorts that is sure to delight fans of the show. The RiffTrax team is in top form, providing nonstop laughs and irreverent commentary throughout. Whether you're a fan of classic educational films or just enjoy a good laugh, this episode is definitely worth checking out.
