On IMDB I stumbled across a series of shorts from the 40s and 50s.
Just reading the titles is pretty funny.
1. So You Want to Be in Pictures (1947)
2. So You Want to Be on the Radio (1948)
4. So You Want to Be a Detective (1948)
7. So You Want to Be an Actor (1949)
8. So You Want to Give Up Smoking (1942)
9. So You Want to Keep Your Hair (1946)
10. So You're Going to Have an Operation (1950)
11. So You Want to Be a Baby-Sitter (1949)
12. So You Want to Be a Bachelor (1951)
13. So You Want to Be a Cowboy (1951)
14. So You Want to Be a Gambler (1948)
15. So You Want to Be a Handyman (1951)
16. So You Want to Be a Muscle Man (1949)
17. So You Want to Be a Musician (1953)
18. So You Want to Be an Heir (1953)
19. So You Want to Be a Paper Hanger (1951)
20. So You Want to Be a Plumber (1951)
21. So You Want to Be a Salesman (1947)
22. So You Want to Be in Politics (1948)
23. So You Want to Be on a Jury (1955)
24. So You Want to Be Popular (1949)
25. So You Want to Build a House (1948)
26. So You Want to Build a Model Railroad (1955)
27. So You Want to Enjoy Life (1952)
28. So You Want to Get It Wholesale (1952)
29. So You Want to Get Rich Quick (1949)
30. So You Want to Hold Your Husband (1950)
31. So You Want to Hold Your Wife (1947)
32. So You Want to Know Your Relatives (1954)
33. So You Want to Learn to Dance (1953)
34. So You Want to Move (1950)
35. So You Want to Play the Horses (1946)
36. So You Want to Play the Piano (1956)
37. So You Want to Wear the Pants (1952)
40. So You Want to Be a Banker (1954)
41. So You Want to Be a Gladiator (1955)
42. So You Want to Be an Actor (1993)
43. So You Want to Be a Policeman (1955)
44. So You Want to Be a Vice-President (1955)
45. So You Want to Be Pretty (1956)
47. So You Want to Be Your Own Boss (1954)
49. So You Want to Buy a Used Car (1951)
50. So You Want to Go to a Nightclub (1954)
51. So You Want to Throw a Party (1950)
Most of them star the same group of actors.
Phyliss Coates or Jane Frazee (Last of the Wild Horses) seem to be in a lot of them as the wife of the male lead.
Just by the names of these Shorts, and the fact that they're Shorts, seems like they might be good fodder for Rifftrax, no?
Has any here seen any of these?
