Can I recommend one of the spots on the top 5, a short animated film on UA-cam called the box assassin, it’s really good but it’s up to you if you want to watch it
That sh*t had me rolling 🤣 I'm gonna have my wife watch this when she gets home today just so she can see that part.....And me laughing a little too hard before she calls me an asshole. Not that her calling me one is anything new 😂
I've actually directed two feature-length Westerns, one selected for the Cannes Festival and the other released by Lion's Gate, yet I readily admit I'm not even in the league with these guys. What a flawless film! Celebrating the genre even as it mercilessly spoofs it.
Belizaire the Cajun was the earlier, more humorous, romantic, Sundance-assisted indie festival darling with a great cast --- even Robert Duvall does a cameo. The other was The Man Who Came Back, a much more traditional (and bloody) Western available through Lion'sGate, starring Eric Braeden, George Kennedy, Billy Zane, Sean Young, Carol Alt, etc. Armand Assante, bless his heart, was in both of the films. @@edwardphilips7669
“I don’t know why it has taken me 7 years to find this but bloody hell I am glad I did. It’s absolutely brilliant.” He said, before finding out that all of his “children” were his cousin’s and being mauled by a wolf. RIP Rando Commenter. We hardly knew ye.
This was honestly the most amusing use of a narrator I have seen. I cant say I am very vested in short films but this is the most well put together one I have watched myself.
This was one of the most rocking Wild West tales I have ever seen. You know we were all rooting for the girl, hoping she'd find a way to just hide out for the next 48 hours, right?
"Fucking awesome!" Said the guy who was watching way too much UA-cam all day. He had appreciated the very funny short-film after he had watched way too many confusing sci-fi short films in where the plots seemed to elude him.
This is pure genius. God knows how may times “the voice” could have been used in my life scenario. This had me laughing all the way to the end. Great job!
I can live without The Voice but many times I have wished my life had a musical soundtrack so that when the score entered a minor key I knew something bad was about to happen.
When you boast and say best short film ever you've got to be able to back it up. If you didnt spend 1 million dollars producing the short film your not even going to scratch the surface of best short film ever.
This IS the best short film of all time! Love everything. A true masterpiece! It’s pace, the story, … all you can think of. This is not boring at all, even with the first sentences, the scene is set. Awesome all around.
Well I'll be dammed. That might actually be the best short film ever. I'm so used to misleading vid titles, that took me by surprise. Thanks for the upload.
For me its typically the kiss of death and I won't even watch whatever is the 'the Best Piece of Shit I Ever Ate Ever'. I also enjoy comments that are verbatim quotes that add nothing of value whatsoever and long walks on the beach.
While Hollywood has lost any sense of originality, Director: Eric Kissack and Writer: Kevin Tenglin are hitting on all cylinders. Hollywood give these guys some money, they deserve to develop a full length film.

This is just brilliant fantastic ! Judging from the setting, one would expect a lame western situation with all ingredients involved - exept for one : the unexpected voice over that can be heard by all the protagonists. What an angle ! Imagine that in real life... And all of the actors are formidastic ! The gunfighter actually made me thing of Chirstian Bale for a moment there and the rest of the actors would not be misplaced in a Hollywood blockbuster as a major character. If you're in for the genre, this really is the best short movie out there right now.
Formidastic, haha geweldige portmanteau! Tevens een accurate samenvatting van een werkelijk origineel stukje cinema. Beleeft u graag een fantastische dag!
+ps34evah Thank you for the compliment ! Just a small, but polite question : did you use Google translate by any chance ? Just curious to know... I mean, "porte-manteau" is a word extremely rarely used in describing facts that have nothing to do with clothing... If you did not use Google translate, you are nothing less than a linguistic master, something I admire enourmously (this is NOT sarcasm)...
*Ahem* Well good sir, first and foremost thank thee for thy compliment! I must admit that I did not use google to translate the word, merely to make sure that I spelled it correctly. It was what I felt when I read your comment. By any chance, do you happen to be a native of Belgium or The Netherlands? I assumed your first language to be Dutch by going off your username.
ps34evah Indeed, my dear friend, I am born and raised in the northern part of Belgium, also known as the Flanders area. My official family tree is documented as from 1743 (they even wrote a book about it, imagine that !). As for the explanation of the name : "bont" = fur and "ridder" = knight or merchand. So my ansisters were fur traders, as where my father and grandfather were cattle merchands which was a very famous profession in the village I come from. So, you assumed correctly...
Karel De Bontridder Nice! I wish I knew as much about my family history, though I might have Spanish roots given that my surname implies we came from Toledo. And how are you doing neighbor of the South! My country of origin is the Netherlands, so I was not trying to translate, but merely wrote in my native tongue.
Have watched this video half a dozen times the past two days and agree with all on how very good it is. Most impressive after multiple viewings is there's not a single frame that feels unnecessary. The editing, as well as the acting & direction is superb. I particularly enjoyed the looks of frustration as the characters try to prevent the voice revealing their inmost secrets. The sublime nuance & timing of the expressions is rare and magical. Well done! May we hope for more and similar work?
Kevin Dorka Yup, should make a mini web series out of it. It's an actual story as opposed to the other 99/100 short films which are a 5-10 min commercial for a cliche social issue.
I saw this years ago (probably around the time it came out) and thought: This truely is the Best Short Film Ever! And I reckon it pretty much still is.
@@shahooty Oh well... Thank you! You, are a genius! And so are the whole team behind this film. It was all so good that I don't even think about the clever ideas behind it, I just watch it and rewatch it, fully immersed from start to end. Thank you for this gem!
I've seen it many times; it's still great. Writing, sets, music, costumes, camera, actors (and the itchy actress), all splendid, equals or surpasses the best movies. I'm always impressed and entertained all over again.
Little did theUKtoday know that, once he had learnt the entire script off by heart, he would be sucked into another dimension, where he would be transformed into Nick Offerman and sent back in time to narrate a short film...
From years of experience, I've learnt that just because a random person says that something is good doesn't mean that it is. This, on the other hand, was actually as advertised ❤ fair play.
Brilliant! That's some funny stuff right there!! I'd rather watch 1,000 movies like these than ONE new movie made in Hollywood. Hollywood writers should take note of these great shorts instead of RE-making old movies with new actors/actresses!
We should make a list of movies we reccomend each other :) Have you seen -Sorstalanság -Johnny Steccino ? The first is a war movie, the second one an italian comedy
Yeah, it’s the Melody Ranch in Santa Clarita. The whole western town and exteriors for saloons have been used for Deadwood, Django, and yes, parts of Westworld, the town Sweetwater I think.

Nick Offerman did this narration... He is best known for his role as Ron Swanson in parks and recreation.
I like the narration on this:
ua-cam.com/video/Z-BbpaNXbxg/v-deo.html
If you like that, play or watch gameplay of "The Stanley Parable". Hilarious use of a narrator.
“I’m just gonna retract my disgust right now, if that’s possible...”

I particularly enjoyed the looks of frustration as the characters try to prevent the voice revealing their inmost secrets. The sublime nuance & timing of the expressions is rare and magical.
Well done!
May we hope for more and similar work?
This one is so perfect that I'm not sure it can be topped.

I am in love with the other Eric Kissack stuff I've seen since. His vimeo page is linked in the description.
@@mohameddiwani6328 Ha ha golden.

Cowboy: "Gooood damn ittt" 😅

WHY AM I JUST NOW FINDING THIS MASTERPIECE???
Because this movie's one stupid joke gets old pretty quick, for a short film it was way too long
Brilliant storytelling and acting. Hats off!!!!
Best fourth wall break EVER!!!
this is pure gold, MORE PELASE

Yup, should make a mini web series out of it. It's an actual story as opposed to the other 99/100 short films which are a 5-10 min commercial for a cliche social issue.
"You know we are good we're good here, I think we should just move on" Very nice film
Saw this about 5 years ago, then it just popped up today. Still as good the second time around.
Every now and then, I run onto a gem like this....absolutely hilarious!!!!
Oo
It's about time someone made a short film that was actually enjoyable to watch.
Right?
I don't know how I got here or where this video came from but it was so very clever and funny.
i found it by searching best short film
One of the best and most funniest short movies!!! Period...
I saw this years ago (probably around the time it came out) and thought: This truely is the Best Short Film Ever!
And I reckon it pretty much still is.
Quality never goes out.
@@nyazillagojira7079 Well said.
I love you both! (my names in the credits)
@@shahooty Oh well... Thank you! You, are a genius! And so are the whole team behind this film.
It was all so good that I don't even think about the clever ideas behind it, I just watch it and rewatch it, fully immersed from start to end.
Thank you for this gem!
Funny premise, believable characters, and a Twlight Zone western in under 30 minutes. No too shabby. Golden Spur for best picture.
I kept watching and I did not think it would get any better, but it just kept getting better and better lol.
"We'll get to that in a minute.". LOL
Best short ever on UA-cam
I hope all of the actors and crew have both enjoyed and prospered from this fine work .
" Little did we know , how entertaining this would be and give it 5/5* ...
Good times with the star system
No doubt😂
This is one of the best Westerns I have ever seen, great acting with a great story that's well paced. Great job.
This was absolutely BRILLS!!!!!
this should win a Oscar for best short film
I've seen it many times; it's still great. Writing, sets, music, costumes, camera, actors (and the itchy actress), all splendid, equals or surpasses the best movies. I'm always impressed and entertained all over again.
Yep, I think that was the best short film ever. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s hilarious.
One of my all time favorite shorts! No idea how many times I’ve rewatched it .
"We're playing right into the voice's hands".
I have watched this so many times I almost know the entire script but still return every now and again for a good laugh
Little did theUKtoday know that, once he had learnt the entire script off by heart, he would be sucked into another dimension, where he would be transformed into Nick Offerman and sent back in time to narrate a short film...
It's just so good. Filthy, raunchy...etc, but it's still just so good.
"Best Short Film Ever" totally agree.
From years of experience, I've learnt that just because a random person says that something is good doesn't mean that it is. This, on the other hand, was actually as advertised ❤ fair play.
The voice: "ok you got me I was lying about that one" lol.
Seven years later it’s still going. Great film. Hopefully the people involved in this got to do bigger and better things in the industry
I hadn't even noticed that till I read your comment 😄
This is gold.
I may be drunk, but this is clearly top notch.
Once a year or so I revisit this GEM...still the best by far!!!
I love it! The premise is original, the humour is well paced, they work out a theme but throw a 180 at the cliché and it has a brilliant aesthetic!
This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.
This was hilarious. I love the concept of the narrator being the antagonist. Good work!
This will always be funny! I wish they would do a full film.
Unexpected and unprecedented!!! SERIOUSly funny... OMG
wrote the Indian graphic designer who had never seen Stranger Than Fiction.
Brilliant! That's some funny stuff right there!! I'd rather watch 1,000 movies like these than ONE new movie made in Hollywood. Hollywood writers should take note of these great shorts instead of RE-making old movies with new actors/actresses!
Hollywood nowadays is shit. 9 out of 10 movies are remakes and same old stories. I agree with your comment.

Thanks! It's nice to know someone else shares my feelings about Hollywood movies.
We should make a list of movies we reccomend each other :)
Have you seen

?
The first is a war movie, the second one an italian comedy
I so agree. I love shorts.
Brian Herron as long as people keep spending their money to see them they won't quit
Watching this for eight years and it stills cracks me up. This is funny stuff no matter who you are.
I defy anyone to watch & NOT laugh. I've been cracking up rolling around for probably 8 maybe whole 9 years also. LOVE it👍👍
HAHAHAHA!!!! That was the BEST bit of comedy in a long time! And I’m late to this film by 8 years!
This is the best shortfilm ever!!
Hey that's the Westworld saloon!
It's the saloon on a lot of shows.
Yeah, it’s the Melody Ranch in Santa Clarita. The whole western town and exteriors for saloons have been used for Deadwood, Django, and yes, parts of Westworld, the town Sweetwater I think.
It reminded me of Rhustler's Rhapsody's saloon as well. I was looking for Rex! He'd have saved the day!

It was at this moment the guy watching this video thought "WTF"?!
I want a part two
I just said that too💀
Immediately! lol
HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA 😂
There were, actually, several of those moments...
This? HILARIOUS! Best short film ever, indeed.
