I'm posting this here since it's pretty much the consensus among us that this is the best "iriff" group out there... so be a trooper and sign the change.org petition they have to get them on Shout Factory TV. Their goal as of now is 500 signatures and they have 297.
"If they were signed to Shout! Factory as an MST3K spin-off or companion show, they would get the financial backing and resources they need to produce more quality content on a regular basis, giving riffing fans even more hilarity to enjoy."

Just me, but "best iriff group" is like the literal definition of damning with faint praise. The Rifftax/CT/MST3K guys and gals are the only ones that I can watch a movie riff with. Every other riff I've heard is cringey and too try-hard to get through more than a few minutes of.

I've gotta admit that I'm very picky when it comes to riffs - (hell, as much as I like the gals, I find some of the Mary Jo/Bridget ones hard to sit through). As far as most iriffs, I can't get into them at all, no matter how hard I try.
That being said, I was pleasantly surprised by the ICWXP guys. The production value is amazingly top tier, the riffs are funny and they don't have irritating voices (unlike some others I've checked out). It feels like a faithful continuation of the MST3K 'verse and it gives due props to it's predecessor.
I just discovered these recently and I'm definitely hooked. It's nice to have a secondary source to fulfill my Rifftrax joneses.
These guys deserve more support & exposure.

I love ICWXP, they are definitely the best of the non-MST3K-related riffers (I'm also getting into QuipTracks). I wish ICWXP had more output. They are so focused on producing a glossy product that they rarely release anything, because they don't have the money. If they just released riffed VODs without all the glossy host segments, they could make some decent bank, I think.

Tinny- I completely agree, this is probably my biggest gripe.
Bluannie- Yes, Quiptracks is my 2nd fave iriff group.
Goregon666- Actually it was fan set up, the guys had nothing to do with it so your "slight" is not valid. Sorry.
Tinny Tim- I agree with you completely, I think that is my biggest gripe with them. Still my favorites though.
Blueannie- Quiptracks are my 2nd favorite as well!

I've seen some ICWXP stuff that was alright, but most of the ones I've watched didn't contain enough riffing and focused to much on their skits for my taste. I don't think they are the best, not by a long shot. Personally, I'd take QuipTracks, Cinester Theater, or Hor-RIFF-ic any day of the week over ICWXP as at least they spend their time actually riffing movies.
That said, I signed the petition since better availability for more riff groups is always a good thing.

1) MKB or GTFO. this forum is for rifftrax, not their competition.
2) the very idea that ANYONE is competent compared to the MST3K ppl is inconceivable. start a petition started for more than one blockbuster riff per year, or contribute for more live shows, etc, but for the love of all that is holy stop pretending there's anyone that even remotely compares to the MSTies.
3) now that there's a new MST3K, why would you even think about anyone else? the MST3K folks the ONLY ones that do it right and we all know it; contribute to Rifftrax so we can get more output if you want quality, sign a petition to get those other ppl on Rifftrax's writing staff if you really think they are that good, but don't move attention away from the originals; the elephant in the room here is that we all just want higher output from Rifftrax, so sign a petition or something for that.
4) there are enough of you from KAT that you recognize my name; i would have simply chosen a different username were i not so confident in my opinion. srsly, Rifftrax or GTFO.

I like Josh Way's "Fun with Shorts" better, though he has written for ICPW3XP

The ICWXP movies ARE part of Rifftrax. They're sold on rifftrax.com and are categorized as part of the Rifftrax Season 4 on thetvdb.com. Rifftrax is more than MKB. There is Mike solo, a few Kevin and Bill only riffs, Mike with guest, Mary Jo and Bridget, and the iRiffs. And since this is a Rifftrax forum, and not an MKB forum, I see nothing wrong with discussing or sharing those groups.
