In RiffTrax Shorts season 15 episode 2, titled "Values: Understanding Ourselves," the hilarious team of Mike, Kevin, and Bill take on a series of educational shorts from the 1950s and '60s. The episode starts off with a short called "Values: The Right Thing To Do," which attempts to teach children about ethical decision-making. But as usual, the RiffTrax gang can't help but point out the absurdity of the situations presented and crack jokes left and right.
The next short, "Values: The Trailer," is a promotional video for a mobile home park that tries to sell viewers on the idea of living in a cramped trailer with no privacy. It's full of unintentional humor, and the RiffTrax crew doesn't hold back in their commentary.
The third short, "Values: The Near Accident," is a cautionary tale about the dangers of driving under the influence. But between the stilted acting and outdated production values, it's hard to take seriously. The RiffTrax team adds their own hilarious commentary, mocking everything from the cheesy music to the absurdly over-the-top performances.
Next up is "Values: The Adjuster," which follows an insurance adjuster as he investigates a claim. The RiffTrax team has a field day with this one, riffing on everything from the main character's bizarre accent to the awkward performances of the supporting cast.
The final short of the episode is "Values: The Film Careers," which is essentially a career guidance video for aspiring actors. The RiffTrax team is in top form here, poking fun at the outdated fashion and questionable advice on offer.
Overall, "Values: Understanding Ourselves" is a hilarious episode that offers plenty of laughs for viewers of all ages. Whether you're a fan of riffing on old educational videos or just looking for a good chuckle, this episode is not to be missed.
