I didn't even know they re-did this short. FWIW, I was referring to the original version with Joel, Josh, and Bill. Yeah, I was assuming that you were referring to the version with Joel. They redid the supermarket short for Turkey Day 2020 with Emily and whoever played Servo and Crow on the live tours. It was really bad. A lot of the riffs weren't even jokes. They were just saying random things. When I rewatched this short, I was thinking to myself "Hell, even I can write better riffs than that." But I still want to give the new crew a fair chance, since I haven't seen them riff a whole movie yet. Maybe they work better with features than shorts.

I liked the Supermarket short with Joel, Josh, and Bill, but the version shown on Turkey Day with the new cast was terrible. We'll have to agree to disagree, because I thought the supermarket short with Emily and the second shift performers was hilarious. I'd completely forgotten it was an old one/re-riff.

Well hey, that's great that you enjoyed it. More power to those who liked it. I just feel like they could've done better, and hopefully will do better with the new shorts.

It isn't whether you like or dislike it, we all have different tastes... it was the expression of surprise that was silly. I mean, surprise that I like a respected, fan favorite short - come on, seriously? lol. I hear ya. I truly had no idea that Hired short was so beloved. People talk up Manos all the time but I feel like for Shorts people talk about a lot of others being their favs. but clearly I was wrong.

FWIW, I was referring to the original version with Joel, Josh, and Bill. is there a place where I can watch that? I only saw when Emily and her crew riffed it.

That actually does look much better with the purple lights.

That actually does look much better with the purple lights. the real table adds so much needed depth to the shot too. They also tweaked the contrast/saturation.. the moon background is a bit darker and the colors on the control panel are more prominent. Hopefully they do the same on the 'movie flushing' scenes like I suggested and get those liquid colors to pop out more.

It looks silly, or I guess makes the clipart space controls look more silly, whichever perspective you want to take.

The purple tones added to the image are an improvement and having something real in the shot besides the people are improvement... but it still looks really bad.

This indie era certainly makes it feel even more depressing that television networks won’t even fund a low budget nonsense show like this anymore

I dunno, That KS gave them something like $300K per episode, and you only have to build a set (or I guess design a static green-screen overlay) once for the whole season.
