Are We Allowed to Ask for Recommendations?
#1
I just discovered Rifftrax last month so was hoping for recommendations of what you guys think are the best/funniest riffs they have done?

So far I've seen a little over 30 and my top 5 favorites [AKA ones where I was crying with laughter] are:

The Room [I haven't seen the live version, is it very different or the same jokes?]
Terror at the Tenkiller
Birdemic
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Carnival of Souls

Closer runners-up would be The Happening and Troll 2

Both riffs of The Room are good and worth checking out. Some of my favorites that you haven't already mentioned:
Roadhouse (3-riffer version)
Starship Troopers
Miami Connection
MegaForce
Samurai Cop
Ator The Fighting Eagle (prequel to The Cave Dwellers from MST3k)
Jack Frost (the serial killer movie)

Star Wars Holiday Special is a rite of passage like Manos was for MST3k

What does "3-riffer version" mean?

At the start, Rifftrax was just Mike, by himself.  Those riffs are okay, but the riffing is a ton better when there's multiple people interacting.  Roadhouse was one that was done early by just Mike, then it was redone entirely later on with the full trio.

Also, the Bridget and Mary Jo riffs are worth checking out.  I particularly like the Teen-Agers series of movies that they did.

This is correct information.  I'd never watch the Teen-Agers as plain movies, but are sublime as riffs!  Love some B&MJ.

Thanks for the suggestions everybody!
Will have to check out Bridget and Mary Jo!

Oh, how the hell did I forget about The Wonderful Land of Oz! Thanks for the reminder! It was actually my first ever Rifftrax (or riff of any kind).
