Dope.  The great Communist plot to take down Amedica.  And America.

This short is all about the terrible truth that the commies want to turn our nation's youth into marijuana users, because then they will turn to heroin, which in turn will lead to a life of crime(because that's how you pay for your H).

Mister Bungle.  He's filthy.  He's rude.  He's messy.  He's killed twelve men.  

Okay, maybe that last one isn't true(we really don't know).  No one likes him, and no one wants to be like him.  Especially not Phil.  Phil makes sure his hands are nice and clean(the kid uses half of the soap in the dispenser), and his buzz cut is all in place before he eats the piece of cake as big as his head and drinks two different kinds of milk.

Our first short is technically the second to be released by RiffTrax, but most consider this the start of the RiffTrax Shorts era.  So, rather than start with Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey (released December 17, 2006), I decided to start with A Visit to Santa.
