The lack of support for this thread is rather appalling. Evidenced not only by the lack of replies, but by the lack of VIEWS. Frankly, I would have expected at least a nominal comment from "so called artsy people", especially those whom live (or whom have lived) in "artsy" areas or whom tout their "artsy" knowledge. Not ONE vote of support for MM's future comedic-riffing-effort? Not ONE? Not one proper critique for the hours x hours which Helles put into his effort, taking note of the construction of his jokes and the placement of them, versus just mentioning "ducking"? (Which I always advocate but somebody else said was unnecessary.)
WHAT encouragement does this provide to Meat Market, or others? TRAD riffers are gonna phase themselves OUT and then we are gonna need new blood to entertain us (or make the content ourselves). I would think that anyone from the Bay Area, or Soho, or Sydney, or Melbourne, or "berserkeley", or Portland or AUSTIN, would have had a bit more clit, "peen", spine or gumption than that, if they claim to support the arts and "riffing". Because all the MST3K alumni are gonna retire, relatively soon, and then, probably, we will be left with "Spongebobians" whom are the antithesis of "smart comedy", and real riffing is ALWAYS SMART (versus bong-suckers using a shure sm7b just because they saw other twichers using it after those same nimnulls used a Blue Yeti after seeing nimnulls using THAT).
Show some goddamn respect to the artform you CLAIM to love, especially if you purport to be "an artsy person", and give a REAL critique, versus "technical crap", or better yet, make some riffs of your own (WITHOUT a shitty mic and audio set-up).
And before anyone asks, yes, I do riffs, yes I do ducking, but I've made fun of people whom clearly would "drag" things. So I won't be sharing [publicly] here thanks to "Spongebobians" whom haven't "done anything". Proper riffing takes time & effort (which 4chan brats would never understand). You need a decent mic, but more importantly you need to know how to USE the mic, and then edit with "nuance".
Helles work is FAB and NO-ONE talked about the joke-construction or the timing (aside from myself). Rectify that.

This is a thread for news, announcements, etc. Hopefully, eventually, a thread for NEW RIFFS! By us!
I am very slowly working on two projects: a standard riff for a movie deserving of it, and a riff for something that doesn't deserve it at all, and might not work for those that speak French. (Did I already give away too much?!) I don't want to reveal the two titles just yet, but I can guarantee that you will love these free riffs or double your money back!
Let us know if you have any riffs in the works, encourage those working on riffs, or just poopoo on all our fun and shibby* the thread.

*shibby: to ruin or monetize fun
"might not work for those that speak French."
I'm hoping you are not gonna inflict a Béatrice Dalle film on us, here. She's amazing, but a nutcase, and accurately portrays nutcases. Best case scenario is that you will be riffing a Jean Rollin film. Hopefully "Night of the Hunted", uncut, or "Grapes of Death". Both fab films, though unable to be parsed by TikkyTokkyTardians.
