It's Your Accident

Mike works in a factory, and he’s angry at everything! His broken-down car. His co-worker who laughs at him. People who point out that it’s insane that he considers tomatoes an essential part of any fruit basket.

Mike’s going to be receiving a lot of gift fruit baskets going forward, because he’s in the hospital after losing several fingers in a belt sander accident. Fortunately, his daughter is there to salt his tomatoes, then feed them to him. That is, until he gets a hospital roommate who is also named Mike. The entire RiffTrax universe would collapse in on itself if this second Mike lapsed into a rant about how bananas are actually vegetables, so we’re glad that he never actually speaks.

The point of this short is evidently something about not losing your temper at work but you’ll most likely just come away from it with a strange desire to bite into a whole tomato. It must have been something subliminal they did…

This is a studio version of the short that was shown at RiffTrax Live: Amityville - The Evil Escapes
