The show RiffTrax Shorts returns for its fourth season with the premiere episode 4-01. In this episode, Mike, Kevin, and Bill are back to provide their hilarious commentary over a selection of short films.
The episode opens with the trio's take on a public service announcement about fire safety. As the actors deliver their overly-dramatic lines, the RiffTrax team quips about the ridiculousness of the PSA's message.
Next up is a vintage instructional video about the proper way to set a table. The team can't help but poke fun at the outdated clothing and hairstyles, and offer their own suggestions for unconventional table decor.
The third short of the episode is a bizarre educational film about the "science" of body odor. The RiffTrax team has a field day with the cheesy music and terrible acting, all while imparting their own humorous advice on how to avoid being stinky.
The next short is a classic from the RiffTrax archives - a bizarre 1950s safety film titled "Shake Hands With Danger." The team once again delivers their signature brand of snarky commentary as the film's characters engage in dangerous work practices.
The episode's final short is a truly odd educational film about dental hygiene. The team finds endless amusement in the film's cloying jingle about brushing and flossing, as well as its off-putting visuals of tooth decay.
Throughout the episode, the RiffTrax team keeps the laughs coming with their quick-witted banter and absurd pop culture references. Fans of the show won't be disappointed with this latest installment in the series.
Overall, RiffTrax Shorts season 4 episode 1 is a great reintroduction to the show's unique brand of comedy. With a mix of old favorites and new selections, this episode is sure to leave viewers laughing and eagerly anticipating the rest of the season.
