REMINDER: ‘Mankind’s Greatest Achievement’ Returns with New Footage

RiffTrax has some holiday riffing news. The shows will be Friday, Dec. 16, and Saturday, Dec. 17, at 10 p.m. Eastern, 7 p.m. Pacific on both days.

Last Christmas, whether you wanted it or not, RiffTrax warmed your heart and addled your mind with instant holiday classic Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny. Attempts to describe this timeless film range from “my favorite Christmas movie that has an ice cream bunny” to “I don’t know what this is or why this is happening to me but I think I love it” to “Mankind’s Greatest Achievement.”

What you may not know is – there’s more. That’s right, over 13 more minutes of “Bunny” that have, until now, gone totally unriffed! This time, we leave nothing out. This time, it’s “Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny: Extended Edition.”

Mike, Bill, and Kevin will host and perform an in-studio riff of the complete film, including those 13 never-before-riffed minutes. They’ll also present a free preview of our next slice of holiday weirdness, upcoming VOD release “The Magic Christmas Tree!”

Only $6.99! Buy your ticket for either showtime here.

But hey, Christmas isn’t only about bizarre movies, it’s also about getting stuff. Santa won’t return our calls, so we’re giving you a chance to write in and ask The Ice Cream Bunny for something. Mail your REAL PHYSICAL LETTER to the address below, and the guys will pick their favorite letter to read on camera during the show! Only real letters will be accepted, as authorities have forbidden The Ice Cream Bunny from using email.

Gifts previously given by The Ice Cream Bunny include:
*Part of a Reader’s Digest (damp)
*A washcloth you misplaced years ago
*A giant ball of gum and hair

Send those letters to:
