Bat nipples and ice puns? We got ‘em!

Fun With Shorts, Josh Blogs, Rifftrax

RiffTrax has released another pithy commentary – this time for the Joel Schumacher atrocity “Batman & Robin.” This riff is unique, however, as it was written and edited by fans and then recorded by Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett in their inimitable style.

Somehow, amidst the never ending schedule of writing and drawing the strip, I made the time to watch this turkey through a couple of times and write some jokes. About three hundred jokes. It hurt. It hurt real good. But last night it paid off as I listened to the finished product. In addition to the hundreds of very funny jokes by other avid MST3K/Rifftrax fans, I was delighted to hear that about twenty of my own jokes were used – including a long rant at the very end of the movie. All in all, a great thrill and an oddly rewarding experience.

That said, I must warn you that watching “Batman & Robin,” even with the aid of hilarious commentary, can cause irreversible damage to the human brain. Proceed with caution.
