RiffTrax presents The David and Hazel Players

Because they mentioned it in the latest Sketchfest, but removed it from their channel for some reason, I dug this out of my extensive RiffTrax library. This content belongs to RiffTrax.

WHAT?! KZbin?!?!?! Who do you think we are, trillionairs?!?!?!11

[@ShinmaWa1]

I understand that it took Kevin several days to fully learn his lines....

[@tf2whackyengineer]

If Ingmar Bergman directed a PSA.

[@adiahaalexander9359]

I busted a gut laughing at literally NOTHING happening

[@Bobsheaux]

Never saw Bill pull off this kind of drama before. Color me impressed. lol

[@dawnw.6559]

😆

[@masterrserch3971]

I was black & white impressed

[@margaretthemagnificent]

Yes, his acting was top notch! It was the tortured, helpless, grasping soul on the never-ending brink of committing to speech WHILE holding a wash rag that absolutely sent me. A perfect duality.

[@uiscepreston]

Kevin's flip-flops are the star of this.

[@philipmonihan8222]

Bill and Kevin actually have a greater range of emotions...

[@JervisGermane]

We'll be back after some commercials for whisky and cigarettes

[@RogueTwo]

LOL! They should have had Mike come in on his knees with his jaw clenched as the son, Bruce, and say to Bill: "Dad, daaad! I have to talk to you!" That's the only way that they could have topped this!

[@maryreynolds6188]

They were both “just fabulous”... but Kevin portrayed a most realistic ambience as a male spouse!! Kudos!!

[@jonothanthrace1530]

All the taut drama of an Ingmar Bergman film.

[@alspacester]

THANK YOU! I also hadn't seen this before they released Sketchfest 2016, and immediately rushed to the internet following their talking about it. Thanks to you, I could!

[@BludBubbles]

Me too.

[@limper106]

Lol they said they took 2 hours to set this up and make this. These guys are ridiculous.

[@monkeymouse]

A winter jacket and flip-flops? Edward Albee is a GENIUS!

[@xeokym223]

For fuck's sake Bruce, USE YOUR JAW

[@Middle-Road.Kim.K]

Love it! Cut the tension with a knife! Really... get the knife. (Haha) Just paused Rifftrax: Night of the Shorts to watch so the Saga of David & Hazel is still fresh. Life lesson - NEVER resolve problems, just hold it in until it manifests as neurotic sewing and hatred of roasted meats. Down With Roast Beef!

[@amypfeffer4983]

Dammit. I wanted to see Bill in a wig and a dress.

[@ianmichalski7997]

SIgh...don't we all?

[@tammichenard1024]

I love Bill and Kevin together....

[@JosephLewisSzaboIII]

I love the script. That writer worked hard.

[@FisherKing9633]

This was hysterical and deeply unsettling at the same time…

[@benjaminsarno6079]

A masterclass in not-acting

[@monkeymouse]

Coronet Films Meets Harold Pinter!

[@theboombody]

I saw this short on my Rifftrax Friends subscription. But I can't figure out why they removed this spoof from their youtube channel. It's great!

[@greenranger8884]

It's time for RIFFTRAX! RIFFTRAX!!!

[@RydarkVoyager]

BETTER than the original!

[@DivaHill12]

I broke my face laughing.

[@estoy1001]

I was sent here by the RiffTrax cast from their recording of SciFi Sketchfest 2016. Their interpretation is pretty close, if somewhat abrupt.Janet Varney had the best running gag in this section, saying Hazel would take forever to order at Quiznos. "....ch-cheese?...I guess...", "...(sigh) lettuce...."She was amazing, but I believe it was a missed opportunity, because she could've completely brought the house down (especially with MST3K fans) with just one word in Track of the Moonbeast's' Johnny Longbow inflection:"...[deep sigh of ennui]...onions...?"

[@BludBubbles]

Me too.

[@Goldenspiderducck]

When you’re out of slits, you’re out of pier.

[@DarrylWThomas]

More pauses than a Pinter play. YES YES YES

[@ClabberHead]

DO SOMETHING!

[@laura-vb9oh]

Move your torsos! 😄

[@joedodson4906]

That was harrowing.

[@michaelkopala3738]

That darn Ann and her endless curtain issues!!

[@gadgetude]

Thanks for reposting this!

[@karlhart8678]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@delewan]

Bill is feckin brilliant.

[@terrytobias7572]

This was TOO true to the original! So much so that I wanted to kill myself all over again. The only thing that could have made it better would have been watching Crow and Tom do the scene á la MST3K style!

[@deuceydee3506]

I'd love to see that, too! I imagine the roles would be reversed in that scenario; Crow would be David, and Tom Servo would be Hazel I can already see Tom in a little dress and wig. He was always such an adorable little cosplayer. I love him and miss him

[@terrytobias7572]

@@deuceydee3506 I agree, absolutely!

[@TheMiddleAgedKidVideos]

Brilliant!

[@lisalocklin7081]

Truly a masterpiece. 🤣

[@coffeesloth5385]

T hat scene needed a Robechet.

[@kaptainwarp]

Watch at half speed

[@MOREAGAIN313]

Nailed it!

[@remtiw]

There used to be a lot of live action sketch videos on the Rifftrax KZbin channel that have since been removed from their channel. Glad to be able to see this one again. Do you have any more "lost" Rifftrax sketches and if so will you be uploading them?

[@CrimsonAuthor]

Any requests? I'll see what I have

[@nathan_the_barbarian7974]

What? A live audience? What do you think we are, millionaires??!!

[@JBurdoo]

"Line?"

[@indianasb59]

The poor cue card boy fell over asleep 😴

[@Melissa-tw2gp]

Poor Bill, stuck in a loveless marriage.

[@joeholm4591]

Haven’t laughed so hard at dead silence before.

[@claytonchaney9171]

they should have thrown roses at the end

[@fishjones4618]

There’s more action in a Edward Hopper painting

[@troytakesphotos]

I'm just curious why he's reading "Arkansas News".

[@melaniebrown364]

Perfect

[@random22026]

They run the gamut of emotions from A to B. Too recent. Too raw. Too soooon.

[@Kinglaugh451]

Still a better love story than Twilight!

[@williamlangeii4012]

You can tell they're acting bc Kevin isn't wearing his reading glasses. READING GLASSES...WHATVARE WE, RUSSIAN CZARS?!

[@lindyloudamato]

Line

[@gilwood7530]

TORTURE ! Brilliant !

[@trade4123]

Now redo it with Tom Servo and Crow

[@wuggled]

Well, I found the lyrics moving, but the rhythm was a little fast to dance to. Dick, I’ll give it a 80.

[@joeholm4591]

Davids still mad because the Bumpasses dog took the turkey last year.

[@lisvender]

CANADA?!

[@10grokman]

What is this, torture porn?

[@dawnw.6559]

😂😂😂

[@gatogreensleeves]

AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHA BILL! xoxoxoxo

[@gilwood7530]

That kid is one disappointment away from a GLORIOUS MURDER SPREE

[@isaiahbradfordiii4041]

Hahahaha

[@violetmoon4357]

All married people should be running to their divorce lawyers after watching the original David and Hazel. OMG!

[@vijion2020]

I'd have to divorce this woman.
