In this living, breathing nightmare of a short, poor Billy Martin is visited in the dead of night by a giant, anthropomorphic bar of soap that admonishes him for his hygiene-related failings, of which he has many. Learn along with Billy from his large, semi-transparent, cleansing friend, so that you, too, can be clean for Soapy. And to share your cookie.
Incidentally, Just Andrew also has a riff up of this very same short, which you should also check out. I can assure you that our version was written and recorded with absolutely no knowledge of Andrew's riff; if you watch both (protip: you should), know that any similarities are entirely coincidental, and simply mean that both Upsetting Shorts and Just Andrew are totally, totally awesome.

And that's what's so great about iRiffs, even if a certain short/movie is done a bunch of times, each one is unique, and each one is awesome! Incidentally, I didn't find your version until I had written mine, so great minds think alike!
I hope to see "Carnivorous Plants" up soon, too!
"Fragrance" is all yours, though. :)

This is a fine collection of riffs for the "Soapy" short. I also have the version from Just Andrew, and both versions are worth getting. I didn't notice any duplicate jokes (although I didn't replay the JustAndrew version to know for sure). Something about a living bar of soap must bring out the best in riffers. I particularly liked a few obscure references back to old MST3k episodes, and the "talk around the office water cooler". I've given this version a 5-star rating, as I did for the Just Andrew version. ___p___
Just one suggestion to UpsettingShorts: You might want to include some comment in the short as to who you are! Just a "Hello from Upsetting Shorts" at the start, or a "well, that's it from Upsetting Shorts!" over the closing screen at the end.
A fun little riff. The jokes needed to be louder at certain points, though. I didn't catch a lot of riffs because they were drowned out by the movie audio. What I heard was pretty solid, though.
