I just finished watching the Boris Karloff 1930's Frankenstein, widely considered to be a classic horror film...
However I couldn't help but riff the silly thing!!
Has anyone else had this experience? Being unable to resist riffing a movie considered a classic?

I do this a little bit with just about every movie. Including the Shining.

Some such riffs: [After the kid says he has a little boy named tony in his mouth]as Doctor: Oh yeah, I had Tony in the Mouth when I was his age too. Some Listerine should take care of that. [After wife says her husband stopped drinking]as Wife: but I am worried about his spinach consumption. (The wife played Olive Oil on Popeye the Movie)

Bride of Frankenstein is much better.
Very tongue in cheeks. How can you riff tongue in cheek?

oh I had some tongue in my cheek once, too. But I just washed it out with Listerine. I made that joke up just now, on the spot. *nodding* yes I did. Oh thank you, yes I take full credit for my joke, thank you, oh thank you so much.

I've found that it's possible to riff almost any movie. Hell, if I made a movie, I'd riff it myself. You can riff things besides movies too. Like billboards, TV shows, and people in general. Of course, that might just be the signs of being an asshole.
Ahhhh, who cares?

(The wife played Olive Oil on Popeye the Movie) One of my best was: Scatman Crothers: May I take Danny to get some ice cream with me, Mrs. Torrance? Shelly Duvall: (some affirmative answer) Me: (as one of the parents, in cheerfull voice) As along as you don't rape him! My friend, who adores this movie but was getting kind of bored as this was her fifthteenth time seeing it in two weeks, declared I was sick. The riff was not all that good; you had to be there.

Just last week when I was watching the first Terminator movie I decided too add in my own riffs. However riffing Ar-Nuld movies today without at least making one governor joke is kind of hard to do.

Yeah I must agree with phantom on that one. That was more gruesome then funny.

Yeah I must agree with phantom on that one. That was more gruesome then funny. Which is exactly why my friend declared I was sick. I better riff from The Amityville Horror: Guy: Well, what's the good news? Me: (as other guy) Well, I saved money on Geico car insurance.

You think I didn't write tongue in cheekS on purpose? Please! Now, old riff raff he's more likely to have a Frankfurter... ugh...never mind. This thread is really unwinding. I mean, this thread is getting rocky, a horror, starting to go in de gutter. (Well, at least I made a "Frankenstein" kind of reference)
