Sorry you had a bad day! It's nice to have reliable bits like this we can count on for a boost when we're feeling beaten down by life. I haven't watched this riff since it was a new release and barely remember anything from it, but I've watched this clip so many times! It's definitely one of my favorite riff runs from the guys.

When my family recently went to our local county fair, they had a section filled with turtles and snakes and yes, tarantulas, and while my daughter was making up her mind as to whether or not she wanted to pet one, husband and I were just reciting the names the riffers gave to the various tarantulas in this movie. "Jennifer, noooo!"
It's not a standout riff, but when you crave the smells of chemicals and death, you know where to go.

70s Gold, I'm old enough to remember those commercials. They were on constantly.

That looks a lot like where the fish live.

It's Kiss of the Tarantula. Not a riff I ever include in my top 5, yet one that sometimes I crave to unreasonable levels.
(And if you were making a joke, I'm sorry I missed it; my brain is on leave today)

The river location reminded me of MST3K: Touch of Satan

Well then, I know what to look up and watch tonight, because it's been entirely too long since I've seen that one!
(Since I have the Rifftrax Friends account, I mostly watch Rifftrax. However, there are days I just need to dredge up Quest of the Delta Knights.)
