RiffTrax Shorts Season 33 Episode 6 Campbell's Soup: The Magic Shelf

In season 33 episode 6 of RiffTrax Shorts, the team takes on Campbell's Soup: The Magic Shelf. This short film, produced in the 1960s, showcases the convenience of Campbell's soup by introducing us to the "magic shelf" - a rotating pantry with shelves stocked full of various Campbell's soup flavors. The film highlights the ease of grabbing a can of soup off the shelf and moving on with your day.

As with all RiffTrax Shorts episodes, Mike, Kevin, and Bill provide hilarious commentary throughout the film, cracking jokes about the outdated fashion and production design. They also poke fun at the repetitive and overly dramatic narration, making fun of lines like "soupmakers working through the night, soup in more than one sense of the word."

The RiffTrax team also has a lot of fun with the film's obsession with the magic shelf. They joke about the cheesy sound effects that accompany its rotation and the over-the-top reactions of the actors as they marvel at its convenience. Throughout the film, they take moments to imagine what other "magical" items could be added to the shelf - perhaps a can opener or even a built-in microwave.

Of course, no RiffTrax Shorts episode is complete without a few off-the-wall tangents. During Campbell's Soup: The Magic Shelf, the team takes a detour to talk about the dangers of canned goods and to speculate about what other items might be on the magic shelf in a parallel universe. They also take a moment to make fun of the overly dramatic music that underscores some of the film's more mundane moments.

Despite the constant jokes and riffing, the RiffTrax team does take a moment to acknowledge the convenience and practicality of Campbell's soup. They even remark that they might have to stock up on some cans for themselves after seeing the variety offered on the magic shelf!

Overall, Campbell's Soup: The Magic Shelf is a fun and light-hearted episode of RiffTrax Shorts that showcases the team's signature riffing style. Fans of the show will enjoy the constant quips and pop culture references, while those who fondly remember the heyday of Campbell's soup will appreciate the nostalgic vibe of the short film.
