I just think overall MST3K was more consistently funny. I may also be biased because it appears that the overlap between what the original writers and I know, read, and find funny is huge. I got almost all the jokes, even the obscure ones. That's a bit less true for the Rifftrax shows.

(One of the funniest things to me was Gypsy singing "Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep At All" during one of the Hercules episodes. "Last ni-i-i-i-ght. Last ni-i-i-i-ght. Last ni-i-i-i-ght."

Crow: "Who are you supposed to be?"

Gypsy: "I'm the Hellenistic Ideal!"
