In RiffTrax Shorts season 8 episode 3, viewers will be treated to another round of hilarious ridicule as the team takes on a variety of short films from past decades. Each short film is given a comedic makeover as the RiffTrax team adds their witty commentary to scenes that would otherwise be considered dated or unintentionally funny.
In this episode, viewers can expect to see a range of topics covered. From educational films to bizarre industrial shorts, nothing is off-limits for the RiffTrax team. As usual, the show kicks off with Mike, Kevin, and Bill introducing the evening's lineup and cracking a few jokes. Unlike some of their other shows, which focus on feature-length films, RiffTrax Shorts season 8 episode 3 is packed with a number of shorter films that offer plenty of opportunities for roast-worthy moments.
One of the highlights of this episode is a short film that focuses on the basics of camping. The RiffTrax team dives into topics like how to pitch a tent, start a fire, and protect yourself from wildlife. As the film progresses, it becomes clear that the advice being doled out is woefully inadequate, and the team can't resist pointing out the absurdity of some of the suggestions.
Another short that's sure to get viewers laughing is one that features a man trying to deal with a particularly stubborn tree stump. With a mix of physical comedy and a hilariously gruff voiceover, this short is one that you won't want to miss.
Of course, it wouldn't be RiffTrax without some bizarre industrial shorts, and episode 8-03 doesn't disappoint. One short features a man who is tasked with modernizing his factory using new, innovative tools. However, it quickly becomes clear that the new technology is more trouble than it's worth, and the RiffTrax team takes great pleasure in pointing out the inherent contradictions in the film's message.
Lastly, viewers will be treated to a film that focuses on the dangers of drug use. This short tackles some serious subject matter, but the RiffTrax team doesn't shy away from injecting some humor. They highlight some of the odd choices made by the filmmakers, including some truly cringe-worthy "street lingo."
Throughout the episode, the RiffTrax team proves once again that they have a knack for finding humor in unexpected places. Whether it's poking fun at outdated educational films or mocking the strange choices made in industrial shorts, they always manage to find a way to make their audience laugh. If you're looking for an evening of lighthearted humor that will leave you in stitches, don't miss RiffTrax Shorts season 8 episode 3.
