Walkity Walk Walk!
Last night's live Christmas Shorts Rifftrax event (encore presentation tonight) definitely had its moments, and not just the shorts themselves. The guys gave each other "gifts" in the form of retro toy commercials from the 1960's, all of which had the audience howling in a mixture of hilarity and horror, and a good deal of bemusement at the minds behind some of these toys as well as the advertisements for them.
Bill and Mike gave Kevin this, which I think I might have actually owned in my childhood. Or a 70's variation of the original. Kevin asked why it made them think of him (and for a moment I thought that Kevin might actually come out of the closet as they danced around the "gay" part of the name) but Mike confessed "It's because we don't think that you have a bone of your own." Ah, poor Kevin.
Mike and Kevin offered to get one of these for Bill but they said that they looked everywhere and couldn't find one. "That's because it says right there in the commercial, FOOD MARKETS ONLY!' Bill bellowed. "Right there next to the rows of canned peas, they have TONS of Jimmy Jets!"
But the one that got the most laffs was Mike's present from Bill and Kevin. A series of toy robots with the unintentionally pun-laden name of "The Ding-A-Lings", and a commercial filled with literal below-the-belt sexual innuendo, as every robot seems to have something either popping out or protruding from its groin, making humping motions, or elevators going up into other ding-a-ling's rectums. The silent scream from the boy at the 3:00 minute mark pretty much says it all!
* The Ding-A-Ling commercial doesn't start until the 0:58 second mark.
If you are able, see if your local theater is showing the encore presentation of the Christmas Rifftrax event and check it out for yourselves. It's fun to go when you're in a theater full of people.
