I've been thinking about ordering my first Rifftrax shorts DVD, but I'm not sure which one to start with. I haven't seen any Rifftrax shorts so I'm wondering what I should start with. Any Suggestions?

There's a thread exactly like this a few threads down which already has my suggestions, and here's a list of the collections and individual shorts on them. |

I just finished short-a-thoning a few weeks ago. I think my favorite disc was Christmas Shorts-Stravaganza. Watching the boys live was dynamite, and with the exception of the final few shorts (the swimming one was fairly poor), the riffing was rock solid.
Other than that, the greatest shorts are all scattered thoughout the discs. I'd recommend Volume 2 for One Got Fat, which is just too bizarre for words, and Order in the Shorts for Story of a Teenage Drug Addict, which is quite possibly the most fall down funny thing Rifftrax has ever produced.

i have five or six and the one i would NOT recommend, at least for the first purchase, is "shorts-tacular shorts-travaganza" (despite its captivating name). it's still got some good ones, but it has two on syphilis -- sorry, but no matter the circumstance, syphilis is just not funny -- and it also has a repeat from another DVD, a great short on "technilogical failures" (it's misspelled in the menu, as i recall). i was a bit hacked off to have to pay for the same short twice.
other than that, i love all the shorts DVDs i've gotten so far.

I've bought all the shorts but not the DVD compilations. But the shorts themselves are consistently funny. You won't be disappointed.
