Rifftrax Shorts Season 8 Episodes

Episode 1

Behave, Bernard!

Fri, Jan 9, 201511 mins

A short kids' movie about a big brown misbehaving pooch is poorly sung by one of two narrators, and Mike, Kevin and Bill make fun of that and other aspects of the movie.

Episode 2

Duck and Cover

Fri, Jan 16, 20159 mins

Nothing says "atomic death is nigh" like a cartoon turtle named Bert singing a playful song. Did the fallout transform a human man into a musical reptile? If that's how it works, that's not so bad, maybe we should embrace the bomb and enjoy our new lives as carefree animated turtles? Alas, these questions go unanswered as the film moves on to focus on real human children and real human adults in real human situations. There's nothing funny about protecting yourself from a city-incinerating blast with... a folded newspaper on your head. Yeah. That's pretty much it. That's the best they could come up with. Good luck, kids. It's time to crawl under your desk with Mike, Kevin, and Bill, then stick your head between your legs and kiss your Duck and Cover goodbye.

The Relaxed Wife + Consuming Women

Thu, Jul 23, 2015

By day, he's a mild-mannered milkman with thick-rimmed glasses. But, when duty calls, he becomes something even less thrilling - Measuring Man. Does he remove the thick-rimmed glasses when he becomes Measuring Man? No he does not. Apparently when your only powers involve measurement education, you don't have to worry about super-villains figuring out your alter ego. Besides, look at him, he definitely needs those glasses.
