- A group of conspiracy theorists take a cruise.
CONSPIRACY CRUISE is used with permission from Brad Abrahams. Learn more at bradabrahams.net.
Gordon Pike is an ex-musician whose career never quite panned out. Now he's a conspiracy crusader who offers a workshop on secret government, aliens and other mainstays of Internet conspiracies. But during one "conspiracy cruise" where he's due to give a class on the secret power structures underlying lives, he's on the verge of a meltdown.
The cruise and workshop are underattended, people who know of his music past make fun of where he is now, and in the midst of everything, Gordon spots a strange pair of people on the ship -- and how he might be the object of a conspiracy himself.
Written and directed by Brad Abrahams, this short horror-comedy is both a satire on the sheer byzantine nature of conspiracy theories and paranoia in the Internet age and a biting character study of a man who has lost his way and doesn't quite know how to get back on his path.
Though the short has a narrative scope limited to one event, the smart, fresh writing is able to evoke both a world overrun by paranoia and a character coming to terms with his choices, whether this information is revealed via dialogue, flashback or the videos and images that Gordon uses to construct a world controlled by hidden, powerful forces everywhere.
The film's visual style both stands apart from its milieu yet reflects it: it's shot with a contemporary stylishness and gloss that creates an elevated reality that the conspiracy seekers stand apart from, but its pacing, editing and movement mirrors the constant saturation of information that makes up a conspiracy theorist's diet.
The film clearly has a lot of fun with this particular Internet subculture and takes advantage of the isolated location at sea to throw a vivid melange of conspiracy aficionados together. But by building up the parade of souls that attend the cruise, it also constructs an underlying sense that this hunt for conspiracies is a larger search for meaning by people who feel lost or powerless in a world where power is legitimately abused and structures do overwhelm the people they are supposed to serve.
Guided by a bitingly cynical, bitter, shambolic performance by actor Henry Zebrowski, Gordon is starting to wake up to the way his life has turned out and the people he finds himself surrounded with. But just as he hits these realizations, his past choices catch up to him -- and some of the worst conspiracies he trafficks in start to come true.
CONSPIRACY CRUISE takes its real-life inspiration from an actual cruise that set sail from Florida in 2016 and featured a large gathering of conspiracy theorists among a ship of "normies." Of course, this being a horror short, it's not likely that there were any reptilians or Illuminati on board, though the film cleverly uses its genre elements to explore the underlying fear and anxiety of being powerless in an all-consuming, foreboding world -- and how it can spiral into the outlandish. With little faith in institutions and little trust in one's fellow humans -- and actual historical precedence that people have been exploited by large, influential institutions -- grasping at conspiracy may actually be a logical response, especially when people lack agency in a world where meaning is fraught and nothing feels safe. - Фільми й анімація
i still cant look at this guy without seeing him as a hitman that forced a man to dig his own grave. its another short on omeleto with the same guy
I kept thinking where did I see this guy, that short film was hilarious 😂😂 he kind of reminds me of Zach Galifianakis
What about your pretty face is going to hell he's a demon named gary
@Charles godwin damn he was in wolf of wall street?! Respect
He’s on a podcast called last podcast on the left and he’s hilarious
Henry Zebrowski is a national treasure
who else thought they were going to sail of the edge of the flat earth?
Not me. If its flat and infinite and just keeps producing more land that´s all. If its a ball shaped thing and floats around in space and is on the move, its probably a mirage. Just a thought.
Good idea. But I don't even understand the plot here. Could someone explain it to me please?
@@rachaelstanley7986I think that they are only making fun of conspiracy theorists. It's ridiculous.
😊
Crammed in so many of the conspiracies so effectively with such fluidity, clever!
Im surprised he gives away multivitamins instead of essential oils
You don't know what an essential oil is.
Acetyl you don’t know what a joke is
@@SozeKaizer So, what's the joke?
@@Acetyl53 You can't handle the essential oil! 😂
Its just a movie. He gives away multivitamins because if he is dead then of course he no longer needs them.
This reminds me of the plane crash I can swear I survived but everyone except people on the plane say it wasn't real. 🤔🤫
Can u explain?plz
Isn't that Lost? 🤔😂
explain moree
1:39 The shirt says “to save time you just assume you know everything “ XD
It's sometimes a hit-and-miss with Omeleto.
Lizard face ending was goddamn stupidly hilarious
Can't believe Gordon Pike really let himself go and joined the mafia as a hitman
“What kind of fudge is going on?” Lol! Loved it!
This is Gary from "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell"
I love that show!
A stressed mind is easy to manipulate. I think there was also a furry cruise.
Jokes on him, tin foil is made out of aluminum nowadays... I sense a conspiracy where they stopped selling tin foil because people figured it out.
Watching this then a lizard ran pass me 😂😂😂 love this❤❤
Forget? I never take mine off!
That transformation scene was AWESOME
Honestly, I thought it was number One from umbrella academy, so I clicked.
Hollywood Henry Zebrowski!!
Tusk-a-gee. 🤣
2 Real Henry Zebrowski!!!
I've never been wetter in my life. Henry Zebrowski is a gift to women.
Cool makeup looks just like the lizard people I use to party with in the 90's in Vegas! 👅👽🦎
Hol up, what kind of party is this?
@@PineappledoesnotbelongonPizza2 sticky..😂
Haha Hollywood parties no doubt
I did the same :D
Did you know Tom Cruise is from Centauri-5?
Here I thought it was Sagittarius-B7 lol
@@stevestever8907 haha yep the two can be easily mistaken! 🤣
The production value of this is higher than Willie Nelson. I demand a series or a feature film.
Why thank you, I'd have loved to make this into a series.
Henry Zabrowski! 🎉
Henry Zebrowski!
Forever!
The doubledoubledouble bluff 😂
Can you explain?
Multivitamins, Really.... ROFLMAO, Great video.
Tge tinfoil hat cracked me right up. xD Good stuff.
Category: SHEEPLE *you are here
😂😂😂
Gary had better return to Your Pretty Face ! After loosing Unknown Hinnson from Squidbillies I can't take any more LOSS :(
Not a good idea to watch this at midnight 😮
Yeah, no conspiracy theories for me.
Anything with conspiracy theorists can only turn into a huge joke !
Wasn't he on the movie "Dig Your Own Grave?"
He was!
It's fun to stop watching 1 min before it ends
Is that a Carnival cruise?
Anybody know how much foil it would take to cover a 10x12 foot room? Asking for a friend.
He just hand him his tinfoil hat and it wa sober bruh team carry
It's QAnon...
Oh no! It’s Henry Z! 🖤
Dude like I honestly feel for the guy, man...
Love it love it love it....sad it's not a full movie
I KNEW IT!!!!
Brilliant.
This is what its like to believe in a flat earth
They are talking like they are from Movie named "Home"
Very clever! LOL Well done!
be careful what you wish for
FU%K yeah he's cute. I've been digging hard on Henry/ Gordon
Have a blessed day
@ 3:48, "Flouride," lol, did they do that on purpose?
Wow what a powerful film, and the ending is a surprise. Great screenplay, great plotting and pace, good dialog. It's only defect is that it's not professionally produced. Upping the production values would make this a prize winning film.
YESSS a horror channel :D
Tax is theft - True!
Quite the creative film. Thanks.
He pronounced Tuskegee wrong.
*I wanna say I didn't expect that clip @**5:17**..... Buuuuut actually I think I did with kind of content lmao.*
The reptile people are not from another world .
They come from the swamps of FL
What a trip
Gary!!!!
This was kind of weak for me :(
Would have been better as a comedy
Really didnt need to see him in his undies 😬
Or did you?
Can someone please explain the ending?
Those two people with that machine were using radio waves to manipulate everyone's thoughts. Since aluminium foil blocks radio waves, it all stopped when he put it on his head.
Hanryyyyyyyyy tawmassss
the plot twist 😂😂
I did not quite understand it. Can you explain please?
@@aishwaryathorat6493 The theory about using radio waves to manipulate peple's thoughts turned out to be true. But since aluminium foil blocks radio waves, it all stopped when he put on his tinfoil hat.
Bit weird, but funny 😂
Anybody care to explain what happened?
Pike how clever.
that cult guy should start a podcast ;)
'Where we go one, we go all'
Henry!
This seemed more like a documentary to me.
Me too, they can make fun all they want, but there's those of us who know the TRUTH.
HAIL ME
Amen!
Everything was fine and swell until they brought up reptilianists,that’s progress man.
Trippy
Gary come home - Satan
That was weird
Did you use *fraught** appropriately in the description's last sentence...?

They always try to make reality funny... ha ha😏
Can someone explain the ending to me please?
A real shadowy organization was using mind control technology to project hallucinations.
@@frickerface Okay, but did he really kill everyone?
@@rachaelstanley7986 he killed the girl yes.
The two people with that machine were using radio waves to manipulate everyone's thoughts. Since aluminium foil blocks radio waves, it all stopped (for him at least) when he put on his tinfoil hat.
hail sweet satan
They had it partly right! Satan is called "the serpent" in the garden of eden. And He is the power of evil in this world!👿🐍
1:15 Morgellons ... Yea, that one actually became true. It's now called microplastics...
K TIP PEE
this is just the henry zebrowski biopic. except henry was never famous.
I never comment on Omleto shorts - which are usually high quality - but this is crap - bad acting, bad script - pathetic attempt to take down what is a whacky group anyway. Woeful. I stopped watching at 7. Then read comments and watched the rest - come on...
Is this a video on how to write a cruise off on your taxes? Cuz it isn’t funny
Well...all's I can say is LAUGH ABOUT ALL DIS &CRY LATER!!!
I wish this was real
