Q: What is an iRiff?
A: An iRiff is a home-made audio commentary that you can upload to the RiffTrax Store and sell to our thousands of daily visitors. You'll make 50% of the net revenue your iRiff generates, paid in quarterly installments on balances over $25.
Q: What do the different formats, NTSC and PAL, mean?
A: The short answer is that NTSC files are for people in North America, including the United States and Canada. PAL files are for users in regions other than Region 1, such as the United Kingdom and Australia. The long answer has to do with technical specifications of each format. NTSC and PAL have different framerates - meaning a PAL video actually is a bit faster than its NTSC counterpart, making it somewhat shorter. It's difficult to notice unless you have two versions of the same movie (or audio file) playing side-by-side; but eventually you'll notice the PAL version being ahead of the NTSC version. Sometimes the difference is as much as a few minutes! If you find that your mp3 file is constantly out of sync with the DVD you're watching, first make sure that you've downloaded the correct format of mp3 (NTSC for Region 1, PAL for elsewhere) and then check other things, such as the DVD version (Collector's Edition, Director's Cut, etc.) is correct for that mp3 file. These details are usually found on the product page. For more information on NTSC, as well as a list of countries that use it, click here. For PAL information use this link.
Jean's brother Steve is bringing his roommate home from college. They're having a party, and it just has to turn out right! This 1950 educational film warns us that our party will be a disaster without careful library research. This is Team Swizzlebeef's long-awaited debut.
Please note: this is perhaps the only iRiff featuring bacon, furries, and a panda.
Thank God There Was A Panda in this one.
In my youth we worshipped Pandas, and each film with a panda becomes part of my religious canon.
Thank the maker for you Team Swizzlebeef, and the best of luck going forward.

Nicely done!
Mmmm... Disambiguated bacon. And the lamp of the Covenant! Very good riffing, great prize!
this was quality
You had me at we may or may not rock you. Hi Doug!
Many thanks, Oh Bearded
Many thanks, Oh Bearded One!
Thus Said Ovarian, or at least that's what the reCAPTCHA said when I tried to write this, so we thank you from the very deepest bottom of our ovarians!
Well done!
Just the way I like my disambiguated bacon!
Excellent job guys! Looking forward to more!
Thanks!

Value for Money - Will Laugh for Pay
You guys are pretty darn good for your first try!
I like the beer-cracking sound at 7:10. At 9:46 you make a joke about the lamp, yes, it's a different joke but you've already done the lamp, so to speak, at 3:53.
You work well together, and your voices are (mostly) distinct from each other, which is good.
I laughed at least a dozen times out loud the first time I watched it, and by the third time I was still laughing at about 2/3 of the jokes (watched multiple times in order to give you detailed feedback), so it's pretty solid material. I have more specific comments about the writing but that's pretty much personal preference and I'm probably heading towards doing one of my own anyways (an iRiff, I mean) and why give you my material, right?
Congratulations, guys! Two thumbs up!
Hello again
Please forgive the previous comment from Mike. He was clearly drunk.
Hello from another member of Team Swizzlebeef
Please disregard the previous comment, and by disregard, I mean follow it to the letter. Which is essentally the exact opposite of disregarding, but you should do it anyway. Following, I mean.
Also, the CAPTCHA for this post is "president snorers", which I find deeply meaningful.
Hello from Team Swizzlebeef
Greetings! Please leave a comment and tell us what you think of this short, so we can learn from it. It's our first try, and we have much to learn. We've started on our second short, slowly working our way towards doing a full-length movie.
