The Gunfighter | A Short Film by Eric Kissack (narrated by Nick Offerman)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 жов 2016
- In a small town in the old west, a lone and weary gunfighter enters a saloon. As he walks through the room surrounded by the people of the town, a voice begins narrating the scene, telling us exactly who this gunfighter is. But unlike every classic western to use the
narrator trope, the characters in this film can hear the voice.
This omniscient narrator quickly begins divulging the deepest, darkest secrets of the people in the saloon. He exposes infidelity, homosexuality, prejudice and even a bit of bestiality. As the story unfolds it becomes evident that the voice is a bloodthirsty bastard that wants nothing more than to see the people of the town kill each other in a needless gunfight.

“You know what, I see - where you’re going with this; and I’m just gonna retract my disgust right now.”
I fuckin died at that part.
But ya still wanted to know...lol
lol again
😂🤣🤣🤣
You know we're good here we're good
Hahaha lol yes :-))
- Or a woman...
- Let's not get carried away
I was in tears. Sally's reaction was priceless lol
I forgot the technical name of it but this is a strategy used in theatres and the cinema. You portray an ideology in a foreign setting, so that people can judge that ideology objectively.
Because, if you portray it in a relatable setting, people can take it personally and their judgement will be biased.
I like this one better than the typical hollywood movie, where they think simply casting women or colored people as the pratogonist will make a change.
@@ibrahimkayikci2146 '...Or colored people...' Welp my time machine worked but it seemed to bring me only a few decades back.
I mean I agree with your point but yikes.
@@seajay632 "Colored people" - bad, racist, old-fashioned

Seven years later and this is still gold!
i watch this about four times a year; its an absolute masterpiece.
every actor was perfect and nick offerman's delivery is spectacular.
Yes, me too. About 4 times a year and I've made many other people watch it as well.
i do the same
Me three!
An awesome ballet of humour!!!
A measly four times a year?! Bloody rookies.
😂👏🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Who are all those professionals who spent amazing amount of time, effort, talent and money on this GLORIOUS piece of ART?
It literally shows who made it right after it ends. It's called " end credits "
Real men

@@Ang3la990s well lets not get carried away...
@@illbebad Kinda like the bear......
This is the funniest short-film I have ever seen in my life.
TRUE BRO LMAO
Me too!!! 😂😂😂
One of the funniest anythings i have ever seen.
samee :)
I concur,
1:23 "No, im asking you, you fcking .... voice ?!" a golden line 😂
"and i might be gay" is as perfect of comedic delivery as I have ever seen.
I'd make a comment, but the narrator already knows what it would be. Great job.
You should write. You what to look for when you watch shows!
said frogisme not knowing that...
That's right he knows more than you lol
Fr
frogisme , nice one buddy!!
Who ever wrote this, is a genius.
Said Mark Tucker, however....
Whoever wrote this is a predictable turd. It might have been funny forty years ago. But now it is just more entertainment group think bullshit. Now if they were brave to go on the other side and deconstruct politically correct tropes, I would be impressed. As is, its just one more lame attempt at making manliness seem out dated. Its not.
@@mariasmith2198 Said the angry feminist who cooks dinner for her husband who she nicked from her comrade, after a get together 2 years ago, but having an affair and lied before she married him.
Maria Smith
Yea but it’s still funny and has a lot of dark humour which isn’t exactly predictable. And why the hell would they go on the political side of things? This is a comedy and that’s such an obvious reason so I don’t get why ur disappointed at that.
@@mariasmith2198 Damn! If you only focus on the movies 3 or 4 jabs at social stigmas, maybe it's predictable and redundant, but you're blurring 99% of the movie because of your political stance.
“Well let’s not get carried away” that line had me dead
"Smells like the ass end of a China man" got me..lol
"And she celebrated by scratching her front porch." I laughed at that the most.
The comedic timing before the last 'but he was' was perfection.
"Ya know what.....I see where you're going with this.....and I'm just gonna retract my disgust right now....if that's possible"
LMAO Best Line!!!
it really is though
....n just mooooove oooon....!
OMG, I laughed so hard!
It was followed by: "Let's just mooooooove on.", also very funny.
Martha? Not Martha!
Especially with his delivery. 🤣
I come back to this every couple months and it only gets better. This film is genuinely crafted to perfection and everyone involved has done an absolutely outstanding job. The fact it "only" has ~4 million views is a complete travesty. This should have 100+ million views.
Aggree with you, this is hands down best short film i have ever saw. I also return time to time watch this.
Who dreamed up this?! OMG! Perfectly executed.
I want to watch a full length feature film in this format, it would be up there with Blazing Saddles.
Please make it happen.
BETTER than....
Exactly, full feature..
@@rickdeuel2652 Lets not get carried away now...
Yes
@@richardmason902 Full length would not work for me with this, just s series of short random stories
Possibly, the most enjoyable 8 minutes I've watched in recent and distant memory. Thanks for that.
Yep
I absolutely agree with that
.
watch the son
You mightn't believe it but this played in the middle of SesameStreet in NewZealand in nineteen ninety two.
Emilio D'alise yr
I’ve had this movie in my “watch later” list for a couple years. Just didn’t get to it till today.
Why did I wait so long?
Absolutely fantastic!!
There was a bear behind you.
@@DrForrester87
...lied JDH87.
In truth it took him so long because he had a tea party with his dolls.
@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 "He ain't got no dolls". LOL
This is the greatest short film I’ve ever seen, and I’m not just saying that. I was giddy the entire time. Perfect set up, perfect comedic delivery, perfect acting, excellent cinematography. The whole shebang. This belongs in an Oscar lineup
Slow down! You are giving an Oscar style kiss my ass speech!
Extraordinary footage, scenario, sound, camera, montage... every character is perfect! Wow. Just wow, guys!
...said the oldest Henderson boy ))
and acting, and costumes, and characterisation....
"Implored Tommy.............................The oldest Henderson Boy." Superb line if ever there was one.
This is likely the BEST western movie ever made, and it's 8 minutes long. Eric Kissack is a genius
I love it too, but the BEST western movie? Like, we just going to forget True Grit, both the original and the Coen Brother remake, A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, or My Name is Nobody, Django Unchained, Once Upon A Time in The West, etc.?
A Million Ways to Die in the West is the best Western movie ever made. Fight me!
@@into.the.wood.chipper. i will admit its a fun movie. But idk man westerns use to be really popular and they have a few bangers.
@@jacobburch7555 Being popular doesn't equal being good, you've implied that because you think they aren't popular anymore perhaps they aren't good.
He sure Kickasses ! ;o)
I just discovered this jewel, and I laughed my ass out the entire time. Shame no long film is even remotely as entertaining as this short, that's a masterpiece of humour
After all these years of re-watching this work of genius, I can only say, the best short film ever, in all aspects. Masterpiece.
Shoulda ended with “little did she know she was going to be mauled do death by a bear that was standing right behind her” 😂
Tommy would have warned her, if he wasn't dead already.
yeah that would have been much better
I actually remembered like that...
man. That wouldve been perfect
I was expecting that
"...And Elijah Jessup's sister."
"Welp, time for him to die"
Honestly that scene was golden.
I'm okey if you slept with any women except my sister.
I am so glad my memory is shit so i can re-enjoy this comedic masterpiece.
I don't know any of the 2000 odd people who gave this gave this a thumbs down, but I'm sure not one of them is worth knowing.
gave a thumbs down? this is the kind of thing I hate about Republicans.
That has zilch to do with politics
@@BlackCat-dm5yg some people can't distinguish reality (or humor) from their prejudices... folks like doomsday people only see a nail and are only looking for a hammer even when the nail has them on a cross or in a coffin. Dassad

“Or a woman!”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 😂
She's dead in a day, so it really doesn't mater.
@@geraldfrost4710 so she got carried away after all
rich and poor, that is what matters to the rich to divide us, they get sex and race to divide us so they can take power.
I swear - we need an app that says everything in the voice of Nick Offerman...
Wonder if does custom voicemail greetings, for a fee...??
Or Patrick Warburton
Sounded more like Rod Serling ...Twilight Zone
the dialogues, the music, the cinematography and the story all just deserve much respect
Every half a year or so I find a snippet of this wonderful short film and I end up here giving it a rewatch to lighten my day.
This incomparable gem should be on the agenda of every film class. Setting, costumes, acting, dialogue--hit the mark every time. Oscar worthy in every respect!
This is GOLD! If a whole movie was like this, It would be amazingly fun.
"Stranger than Fiction" is the closest movie I can think of....
@@joketube79 8 minutes & 39 seconds is all it needed, where else could you go? The itchy whore was killed by the wolf the next day, she said, "Well F**k Me" LMAO
The ballad of Buster Scruggs is pretty close.
Whats odd is i have been watching this and showing other people this mini-movie for years, and never realized is was Nick Offerman narrating. But once it was pointed out, i was "yeah! That's why that was so familiar."
I shot an event a couple of years ago where they had a whole hour long play that largely used the narrator trope and it turned out pretty amazingly
I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve watched this. No it word for word. 🇦🇺🤠👍
same here
I remembered this exists again. Such a good film, never fails to lift my spirits. The team behind it are geniuses.
"..and the bestiality should probably stop." - probably the greatest line in any show ever.
Probably the ONLY time as a line in any movie ever!
"Probably"

Beastiality*
"And I might be gay."
I've watched this about 10 times and just heard that line.
Never has 8 minutes felt shorter in my lifetime, thank you, i needed this
Joshua Situ or longer
7:40 I just noticed as soon as this poor guy gets shot in the back, he still tries to keep his hat on his head LOL
I love this short film, and the "Awesome Ballet of Death"
I cannot stop coming back to this when I need a laugh. Wonderful skit.
Wtf how can anyone not like this, let alone 1300 people. I’ve seen this at least 5 times and it never fails to make me laugh. The direction, the acting and the timing of the jokes are on point.
Right! I seem to rewatch it every couple of months. 😂
Those people who dislike this video have had their own personal encounter with the narrator at one point in their life.
Ahhhh, back in the day when they showed the number of dislikes...oh the memories :)
While the sketch is funny, if you are not keen on below-the-belt-humor I can see why you wouldn't like it.
3:50 "You know anything about that?" "Errr no" He did, but we'll get to that later. OMG!
That is not a short film, it is a master piece! Think about how f****g hard it is, to tell such a komplex story on an easy and funny way in 8 minutes!!! Awesome actors, great humor and well done filming!
Thanks for sharing!
This is what I imagine it would sound like if God narrated peoples lives.
Every line that the voice speaks draws the viewers of this western saga deeper into the narrative.
As the story deepens and the characters unfold, the viewers chuckle and smile, knowing that they will be helplessly enthralled by the end...
And the glowing arrows of their technological pointing devices will click the glowing blue 0:00 on their screens, just so that they can relive the humor and compelling western drama once more!
how does he know this
bet your the life and soul of the party
It's an AMAZING piece!!
Well .let's not get carried away 😅
this is better than the million dollar budget films Hollywood has produced
On point!
Somehow the funniest thing ever!!
It's the difference between beating someone with a hammer and a pillow. By pairing the story down to the action it's getting to the point without the pillow. The intro was three seconds to walk into the bar; no wasted time.
Jay
Man you have got that right.
Definitely better than whatever drivel Marvel keeps churning out nowadays.
Eight minutes of pure entertainment, kept me focus and I enjoyed every second of it.
I've seen this a gazillion times, and I still love it. Everything about it is perfect. Congratulations to the pre-production, production, and post-production team members. Time for a feature film!!!
5:43 the way he says it slays me every time
LMAO
This is brain candy. Pure gold. Brilliantly written. And perfectly casted and acted. They were all perfect. This is almost too perfect. Its hard to get all of it right. There is like 20 gems in this. Damn good stuff.
The "Back to the Future" kind of perfect, I daresay.
I keep coming back to this: great acting and directing. Hats off!
Would have been perfect if it was a bear, instead of a wolf - considering the youngest henderson boy.
It is in some other(non-english) translations :)
Little did she know that she’ll be mauled to death by a bear that was hidden behind the stairs.
I love that “Welp Sam has to die.”
I have to say, THIS is an 8 minute Masterpiece of film-making. The classics CAN be funny - Shakespeare, Voltaire, etc I want People to KNOW about this treasure!!!
I can watch this over and over and no matter how many times I watch this, I still look insane laughing with my headphones in(the change in music when the gunman gave his speech was absolutely perfect)
"I see where you're going with this and I'm just gonna retract my disgust right now...." HAHAHAHA!! Man, I love this! Every time I see this I laugh just as hard as I did the first time!
I watched this when it was first uploaded, it has been a long time and it is still as good as I remembered it to be!
Hysterical!!!
Absolutely Stellar performance by all! The Narrator was superb! Highest kudos for writing and directing!
True professionals all!
This should be the standard for a new genre of Westerns and other Dark Comedy movies!
Please! Do more of these with different story lines!!! Like maybe something in a 1930s / 40s film noir, the 50s and America's new lifestyle and 50s comedy era ; ala Leave it to Beaver, Dennis the Menace....
The Donna Reed Show..... Please consider it!!!! 👍✌️😊
I forgot the name of this video so i just searched "air talking to cowboys at bar" and it brought me here😂
Welldone UA-cam
Mohammadreza Atashzar
Kkkkk me too !
Though, I have searched as “ western voice” and it came!!
Amazing
Same here. I searched for „Wild West narrator” and here I am.
and i search " the movie narrator wants to kill you"
I searched 'Bloodthirsty Narrator'.
“Narrator short old west” lol
Some of the best "lines" in this short are Sally's facial expressions!... LMAO!
This is one of the best shorts in shorts history... simply and purely, THE BEST! : )
I've watched this at least a half dozen times, never fails to leave me laughing!
now i can't find anything to compare with this, guess i'll watch it again.
you can play the stanley parable
*also i just saw this is 2 years old so yeah... but nevermind
Stranger than fiction
Is this this one of your favorites? i have shared this with multiple friends.
Check out the channel "Omeleto" here on YT, they're where I first saw this short film and they've got tons of great ones like it. There are two time travel ones with very different premises on there that are amazing.
Buster Scrugs (probably way too late)
"But the gunfighter decided he was okay with it"😂
Thanks?
Bro that one and the lets not get carried away not got me
To this day I use the phrase "Now, here's the thing about THAT" wherever I can. Masterpiece in every way.
This is cinema in the grand tradition. Perfect setting, perfect story, perfect acting, perfect photography. It's an entire story, it plays in a single room.
This is how you tell story.
I want to see the sequel. If there's not one, there needs to be. Great job. Best 8 minutes of my day.
They all died 🤷
a sequel? everyone is dead bro
The sequel is one scene, one minute long, of the itchy whore getting mauled by a rabid wolf.
"The wolf circled around itself a couple of times before settling down to digest Sarah's left thigh, without a smidge of awareness that it had just contracted the sheep clap from her. It peacefully dozed off to the sound of the ethereal voice it couldn't understand, but whose Swnansonian cadence it found deeply comforting. Little did it know that a bear would shred it to pieces five minutes later to snatch away the rest of Sarah's mortal remains, in a truly awesome ballet of apex predator death."
Glad there's not. It wasn't funny.
OMG! Can you imagine watching a full length feature western like this. People would walk out to keep from death by laughter. Very very well done. Thank you.
lol like using a gallon of Chanel No. 5
7 years?! I love to watch it every now and then. Still taday. Just great
This is one of those things, so good that I have to keep coming back and watching it periodically
This is one of the best short films I've ever seen
"And I might be gay" *all cowboys screaming*
Hahaha Texas residents get their panties wadded.
Now that is what I would like to have in a full length movie . We need more humor like this.
Not only do I love this Short Film for its hilarious twist in events, the fact that I can’t stop imagining Ron Swanson as the narrator makes it that better
This is so well made and produced. The clothes and atmosphere is on POINT and perfect! I wish this was a whole complete film.
It IS a whole complete film. It's perfect because it's exactly the length the story requires; if it were blown up to feature length the director and scriptwriter would have to throw in extra not-quite-as-good material to provide that extra hour or two.
I watched it at least ten times and I just can't help laughing each time. This is really good. Awesome.
angelikgg me too
Awesome piece of cinema...I watch it once a year. Forever in my TOP-TEN omeletos.
An ad about a cowboy in a bar before a video about a cowboy in a bar? Hell yeah! 🤠
The fact that you got Nick Offerman to narrate this just makes it great.
This video is criminally underrated
We'eell Fuck! Just STOP with the "underrated". Are you one of those guys that scours UA-cam looking for places to post "underrated"? Because I can't seem to find an entertainment video anymore without someone posting it, without merit.
Said the unseen voice.
Said the oldest Henderson boy
*Criminally overrated
@@charlieross-BRM
Yep, and I can't find an underrated comment with out someone batching like a child about it.
Probably, the best comedy on the whole Internet.
He liked the film so much that first thing he did in his late night UA-cam session is to find the film leave like.
"Yes, I did!". He said in accent of characters in movie. Unsuccessfully.
I do not understand why this video doesn't have views in the millions. Absolutely outstanding.
I watch this periodically just because
I decided to be the hundredth like on this comment just because
I truly loved this skit. I saw it a few years ago and laughed all the way through again today.
Kudos to Kevin Tenglin for the great story.
i rewatch this movie once per month, so awesome it is. Some moments are pure gold.
"Let's not get carried away."
😹...
Give this short film an oscar already.
That last gunfight made me watch Reservoir Dogs again...great job!
I keep coming back to this time and again over the years. It is masterful!
The character voice inflections and expressions are perfect, along with the set, lighting, and costume design. A prime example of how NOT to use CGI and Bluescreen to kill acting and movie quality.
ah yes the prime example of pissing on CGI just because it exists, no matter how well done it may be
"And the beastiality should probably stop" LMFAO
Must have watched this twenty times over the last few years. Every now and again UA-cam throws it up and I go..."OK ; lets watch it one more time."
Best 9 minutes I've spent online in a long long time. 😂😂😂
Absolute all time CLASSIC and should be preserved at all cost 👍🤣
Should be entered into the Library of Congress
This was just a genius piece of work. I can honestly say this has been my favorite short film so far. The writer(s) of this film are nothing short of geniuses. But I'm pretty sure the narrator knew I was going to comment this.
This led me to searching short films, look up “I’m You Dickhead” it’s pretty damn funny.
Seen this bit like ten times over the course of 6 years and still love it. The best short film I'Ve ever seen....
So badly needs a sequel... or something similar not even related to this. Brilliantly done
