Ep 5. Each Child is Different

Each Child is Different is the fifth episode of the third season of RiffTrax Shorts. In this episode, the RiffTrax crew takes on a series of educational shorts that were designed to inform and educate children in the mid-20th century. With their signature brand of humor and irreverence, the team cracks jokes and makes fun of the sometimes outdated and often ridiculous information presented in these films.

The episode begins with a short entitled "This Charming Couple." The film follows a young, engaged couple as they go through life and learn important lessons about love and relationships. However, the RiffTrax crew quickly points out the absurdity of many of the "lessons" presented in the film, particularly the idea that men should never apologize to their partners.

Next up is "A Word to the Wives," a film that attempts to teach housewives how to keep their husbands happy and satisfied. With its sexist undertones and outdated gender roles, the film provides plenty of fodder for the RiffTrax team, who mock the film's patronizing tone and ridiculous advice.

The third short is called "Choose Your Words," and it's an instructional film designed to teach children the importance of using precise language. While the RiffTrax team does acknowledge the important message of the film, they can't resist cracking jokes about the cheesy acting and awkward dialogue.

Finally, the episode ends with "A Day of Thanksgiving," a heartwarming short that follows a family as they prepare for and celebrate Thanksgiving. While perhaps not as ripe for mockery as some of the other shorts, the RiffTrax team still manages to find plenty of humor in the film, particularly when it comes to its rather sappy soundtrack.

Throughout the episode, the RiffTrax team delivers a non-stop barrage of jokes and witty observations. Their commentary is frequently irreverent and often downright silly, but it's always entertaining. At the same time, though, the team never loses sight of the fact that these films were created in a very different time, and they make frequent references to the outdated attitudes and beliefs that are present in these shorts.

Overall, Each Child is Different is a hilarious episode of RiffTrax Shorts that pokes fun at some of the most ridiculous educational films of the mid-20th century. Whether you're a fan of the show or just looking for a good laugh, this episode is sure to deliver plenty of entertainment.
