I know we've had a thread like this, somewhere, but I've searched and searched and didn't find it.
You ever skip past a sketch because you just don't have the stamina for it any more? Perhaps you even liked it the first time, or first couple of times, but now it doesn't seem worth the wait.
We've beaten "CLAYTON! CLAYTON! CLAYTON!" to death already, so we can move past it this time around.
Personally, I can't get myself to sit through "The Roots of Jimmy's Illness" from "I Accuse My Parents" anymore.
Can't hang out long enough for "Tribute to Greg Brady" from Untamed Youth, or "The Reporters of Rocketship X-M."
I just click past 'em.
Am I alone here? Just wondering.

That's one of my all-time favorites. Huh. The ones I skip every time? Four words: Nummy Muffin Coocol Butter. |

Orville popcorn just drags on and doesn't really go anywhere. Plus it has nothing to do with the film. I don't like it when none of the sketches have anything to do with the film (Save Monster A-go go)

The "Mike listens to his new stereo" sketch.
Never thought that was funny, ever.

I thought that bit was hilarious.
Anyway, I never skip sketches. The closest I've ever even come to this was coming back from a commercial break too late back when the show was still airing.

I'm the other way around....I love NummyMuffin' but find Orville a bit too mean-spirited (though parts were amusing, like the silly outfits & 'Super-Chief Double-Whammy Ganga Ganga Corn' & the chat when Joel enters...Joel's filming a 'Disfunctional Popcorn' commercial?) Mike snorgling Nummymuffin & such - Adorable. Reddenbacher Long Day's Journey Into Night - Nervewraking. |

I don't skip the ones I don't find particularly funny. Even the ones that aren't laugh riots for me still add to the atmosphere of the show and the personality of the Brains. I'm more likely to skip dull parts of the movies than dull sketches.
That said, I'm more likely to get distracted when Josh is doing his season 1 bits. I love him as Tom, but I never found "Larry" particularly funny -- probably just the voice. I think that's a minority opinion, though.

I don't skip sketches either. They complete the show for me. Honestly, just watching the movie tuckers me out, which is one of the reasons I haven't downloaded a Rifftrax in a while.
Though some of the season 1 sketches do bore me. And I've always hated the "Trumpy Can Do Magic" segment. But that is something people here have known about me for years, so that knowledge shouldn't be anything new.

I usually don't bother with the Bobo Makes A Brain...Sandwich sketch. It's funny but you can tell it's there to drag the show across the 2-hours-of-programming mark.
MAYO-NAISE!

I have trouble with most of the sketches featuring mads that are neither Forrester or Frank. However, I do not skip. There are times where I'm watching with others, or where time is pressing, where the sketches do get skipped.

Re-enacting the title sequence from "Cave Dwellers". I can barely stand the original title sequence! Now you're going to make me watch it AGAIN?

Tom's crying like Babs in "A Star Is Born" in Violant Years
Gypsy's song where she keep hitting the lyre in Herc Unchained
Anything that makes my ear ache like that
Not fond of MAYO bit in Undead -get the joke, don't enjoy it (and it feels like padding)

"{Wouldn't skip segments} even if I wanted to fella, Gym Policy."
But the ones that I would if I did.
Joey the Lemur: hard to watch Joel have that much difficulty and the bit just isn't funny.
Tupperware party in Deep 13: Frank is still coming into his own and the awkward pause between Forrester standing up and melon balling Frank ruins any fun in Frank beig hurt.
The informercial with the Spiders based on the Phantom Creeps. A bunch of Season 2 sketches were works in progress to me.
But Dysfunctional popcorn, makes me laugh everytime. Crow's ruthless interpretation of ORville and Tom as his grandson just makes me laugh. It's like making fun of Mr. Rogers, they're too pure for any satire or sketch about them to really hurt them.
