Rifftrax Year: 2014
Riffers: Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett
The At Your Fingertips gang is back and this time showcasing what you can do with those long and thick shafts...and I'm just going to stop myself right there.
This latest arts and crafts short is devoted to many things you can make with cylindrical objects. From pipes to...longer pipes...to...robot men that double as kites I guess. The possibilities are endless. Still the kids in these shorts are more creative than I am, so kudos to them.
Originally riffed in the Manos Live Show, like most studio riffs it's fairly weak compared to the live version. Things that were funny there are still funny, though there is less of a room energy feeding our riffers.
Ultimately Cylinders is a fairly basic At Your Fingertips offering. I can't shake this feeling of having seen one and having seen them all. The riffs are fairly basic, mocking the rudimentary arts and crafts, questioning the simplicity, and finding some of the creations a little creepy. Cylinders for the most part offers a bit less than other At Your Fingertips offerings in this regard, which might make it a weak offering.
It's still funny stuff though. They do have some great shots at the narrator, which they have getting locked out of the room and the class moving on from cylinders to other shapes as he screams "YOU'RE NOT READY!" Laughs are solid, though not quite plentiful.
Thumbs Up
