Tic Toc Time Clock (Rifftrax Shorts)

Rifftrax Year:  2012

A mad coach takes twelve children and turns them into a HUMAN CENTIPEDE...er...I mean clock.  Yeah, that's it.  He gives each one a number and makes them lay down on a device with deadly rotors and teaches them how to tell the time.  Or else their FINGERS go into the rotors!

Clocks may seem simple enough, though I remember being a kid and struggling to learn how a hand clock worked.  So to an extent a short on this subject is welcome, although I don't think it answers the questions I had way back when (it was that damn minute hand that got to me).  But it gets across the twelve numbers on a clock relating to a twenty-four hour day at the very least.  It's just VERY LOAD about it.

The short is colorful and fast paced.  There's definitely a lot to work with as far as riffing goes, with the loud broadness of it being front and center.  The thing that Mike, Kevin, and Bill can't seem to work past is the coach "sporting" motif that the short goes for, which supposedly gets children PUMPED to learn about clocks.  This just confuses our riffers, as they point out how contrasting the subject and the approach seem to be.  A child get's a wrong answer, to which Mike screams "DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY!"

Tic Toc Time Clock is a breezy short with a lot of solidly funny riffing.  I'd highly recommend it on the basis that there is more laughs in these twelve minutes than I usually get in twelve hours.  CLOCK HUMOR!  Damn I'm good!
