My esteem for the Supermarket short has grown since my last post. I watched it with the family over Thanksgiving along with a few classic shorts (Spring Fever, Mr. B Natural, and Hired Pt. 1), but it was the Supermarket short that got the most and the biggest laughs of the night. Also, the subtle meaning of the line "Where's Johnny?" completely escaped me the first time around. It wasn't until this second viewing, when other people started laughing at it, that it hit me. Dang, I'm usually quicker on the uptake! But that was great line. Whilst I like both shorts and laughed out loud at both, I laughed more at the Supermarket one. Specially at Josh's Servo and his delivery through it.

J. Elvis, if anything, has improved with age. He turned in a great riffing performance, methinks.

I've liked Josh in every iteration, from KTMA to CT to the Super Market skit. Of all the talk of reunion shows that are mostly wishful thinking, I do think if there is a v3 of MST3K, Josh would still fit. It would also be fun and ironic as he would go from the youngest member to the oldest member.
Other riffers who still got it? Trace still has a great delivery on The Mads (Frank, not so much. I love Frank, but he has always been the WORST on screen riffer.)
Many of the others I feel have lost it and now fake it. This includes Joel, Mike, mostly Kevin and somewhat Bill.

Trace might be the best riffer in the MST3K franchise, and this is sincerely not meant as a slight against any of the others.
His timing is impeccable, he delivers his lines with a flourish, and of course he's a great impressionist as well. I would pay to watch Trace in a theater alone, riffing an entire film (or at least a good-sized short) alternating back and forth as Trace, Gregory Peck, and George Takei.
