Rifftrax Year: 2008
Riffers: Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett
Look at all this aqua! It just makes me want to frolic!
Aqua Frolics showcases a bunch of water activities that range from fun to just plain weird. A lot of it is self-evident, such as water skiing and swimming, while sequences such as a family having dinner at the bottom of a swimming pool is a pure ripe slice of WTF.
Aqua Frolics is a scant short, not even running seven minutes. In fact I don't even think it's complete, because it stops abruptly. Mike, Kevin, and Bill even briefly exclaim in surprise before they're cut off abruptly as well. That's really the downside to this short, that it's brief and doesn't feel like an entire experience.
Luckily what positive aspects the short does offer are aces. The grand thing about the short is that there is no shorage of visual cues to take note off. The riffs fling take aim at the various frolics with the greatest of ease, including the previously mentioned dinner scene as the family swims away, causing Kevin to pipe up "Not you mom! Somebody has to do the dishes!" There is of course the narrator as well, which sees our heroes stepping in to help him narrate as the short goes on. Yes, Aqua Frolics is a short shorter than most, but it packs a lot of laughs.
Thumbs Up
