We're passing the savings along to you with this double shot of brand new shorts! "You and Your Work" is the inspiring tale of a shoe salesman who learns to suck it up and pretend to like his job. "Bus Nut" is the inspiring story of a little girl who really, really, really, REALLY likes her school bus. They're both yours for the ludicrously low price of 99 cents. Have we gone INSANE??
As always, riff commentary is provided by Josh Way, and the footage is courtesy of archive.org.

josh way never disappoints...and two shorts for the price of one is, ummm, twice as fun, or something. the 'Bus Nut' short left me with the same feeling as 'Why Doesn't Cathy Eat Breakfast'. that feeling was 'why was this done? who signed off on this?did anyone stop and think about what they were doing?' and it just goes on and on like that. in closing, another fine riffing job by Josh Way. thanks! ~~~monkey
Oh, Josh Way, how do you do it time and time again? I'm guessing few comments so far because most of us know Josh's work and quality, but just in case you're new to the site and curious, know this: Josh has been at this for quite a while & he's darn good at it. Thoroughly entertaining double feature. Tons of fun, very little (if any!) bashing of the stupidity of the show, just pure entertainment messing around with it and getting into the drug-induced realities they provide. ("Bus Nut" is like the "The King of Comedy" of infomercials: a dying breed of character study pieces.) My favorite line: "THIS IS A CHAIR." Thanks!

I would say that this was more fun than a barrel of monkeys, but what fun can you really have with a barrel of monkeys? It's small, filthy, and half of them probably arrived half dead and certainly not worth the price. These two shorts are, though. "You and Your Work" is a standard riffing piece with some great lines ("And then I put my boss away!"), but Bus Nut is a surreal piece of work that demands a different sort of attention, and Josh delivers ("That's one apostrophe away from being inappropriate."). Even at twice the price it's a bargain...but don't raise the price just because I said so.
This was my first time with one of your Iriffs and I was very impressed with your professional quality and laugh out loud humor. I'd recommend this purchase to everyone!
Josh Way took two mediocre short-topic videos and livened them up with good variety of riffing. The first short was meant to encourage high-school students to find the interesting part of whatever jobs they get. The second short, well, I'm still not sure what that was meant for. I guess to make kids appreciate the jobs done by the school bus driver. ___p___ The original shorts weren't really bad, but they would be mighty dull. Josh keeps a steady stream of quips going, taking whatever is going on and tying it to something much more entertaining. I enjoyed the job on both of these shorts.
