Better living through chemistry 50's style as Rifftrax iRiffs presents "The Relaxed Wife"- a vintage short from Pfizer. Join riffer mister X (professional smart-ass) as he tackles all this bizarre little film tosses at him:
-see an actor who's mugging makes Jim Carrey seem subtle, -hear pathologically whimsical music
-endure a rhyming narrator who makes the poetry of Jewel sound like ee cummings
Complete with disembodied arms coming out of desks, a man with a pressure cooker head and a product we never get to see, "The Relaxed Wife" is a trippy prescription drug short that makes you think the makers were on something a little stronger when they made it. Fortunately the snarky, silly and deceptively crass commentary by mister X is the cure for this one.
Relax the wife...bind with duck tape... arms coming out of desk, blood sucking pump on head. OK, all written down. I'm learning so much already. Now shut up bitch, I'm a sleep.
