Rifftrax Year: 2010
Riffers: Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett
A woman takes her pet monkey to the zoo, where the titular Mr. Moto runs away and searches for all animals that start with each letter of the alphabet. This is a crash combination of Alphabet Antics and Johnny at the Fair, where we watch a wandered off soul look at all the big things around him and he has to learn letters while he's at it. This short is fairly standard fluff, teaching children while being cutesy about it. There is very little value to it if you're over the age of five though.
Mike, Kevin, and Bill seem to be having fun with a short with a monkey as its main character, so of course there are poo flinging jokes inbound. The humor gets a bit too dirty for my tastes and we're given bodily function and sexual humor quite often pretty much beginning to end. This feels like it should be a fun short, but it lacks diversity (both in short content and riffing) and becomes one-note.
It's not a total loss, as there are several gags that gave me a good chuckle. I feel like I should be laughing more during twelve minutes though. Mr. Moto Takes a Walk shouldn't be very high on your must-see list of shorts to catch up on.
Thumbs Down
