Wow! I want to extend a colossal THANK YOU to anyone and everyone who engaged with, liked, and shared this little gem. "Prego" was my first venture into the world of filmmaking, and its relative popularity gave me the confidence I needed to make a feature and eventually build my very own film production studio. So.... from the bottom of my heart, again... Thank You!
The actress really should be in a major movie. Such a great natural acting!
I totally agree..
You are absolutely right.
She's an amazing actress in addition to being extremely cute, but unfortunately, she'd NEVER make it in Hollywood because she's a REAL GIRL; not a transgendered man pretending to be female.
"... I am not raising a kid by myself." Oh, yes you are. That guy would kill a pet rock.
Foreshadowing!!
Fr he’s so stupid
No, they carry a great line of pet rock food at Petco, and he get it for nada.
Every short film made is .... award winning.
Lol good observation!
Yeah there was nothing groundbreaking about this film. Typical shit story. Why do we have to see it?
I really like to mention the acting of the 'Lady' Oh god she was amazing
An amazing total bitch that was just as much at fault as the man. Woman that play will pay.
Oh please. She is facing the reality that it is stressful and costly to raise a child, and then she gets upset as she realizes that he will not be of any help. Sure, she is as much at fault, but she can't deny it's her child and disappear like a man can.
....and female hormones can make woman cranky. Ever had them surge through your veins?
she sucked ass
+Pat Stokes
You sound like a psycho.
"Oh when will death take me" I literally can't breathe omg 😂😂😂😂
I'm sending this to my Daughter who is a Senior in High School. Remember, just because you feel something doesn't mean you have to act on them.
Less of a comedy, more of a PSA for unprotected sex.
Yeah
1:28 HE KILLED ME!! Best reaction EVER!! ROFL
This guy is pure GOLD!!
I lost it when he actually said "Question mark" 😂😂😂
"Look lady 9 out of 10 businesses end within the first year" 😂😂😂 Perfect!!!
The actress who did the Emily character was very good. Congrats!
You mean the 'lady'!
"This is a lot to handle on a Sunday morning."
"It's Wednesday."
"Whatever."
Too Funny!
What if it was a Sunday....
@@DarkPassageFilms or Friday
my brain will never recover after watching this
I thought the boy was high throughout the whole conversation.. ha ha ..
Rajiv Verma HAHAHAHAHAHA
I think he IS!
i thought hes too!
I get it! After being mad she smiled when he said don't worry. It shows how little a woman will accept as enough of a commitment from a mate.
"Give it some breast milk and plenty of sunlight and I'm sure it'll be fine!" That's what any potential father should say to his unexpectedly pregnant girlfriend! And the guy in this film actually tells that poor girl this advice! Kudos, Dad!!!
Girlfriend who?
Do that and the girl will have a freaking heartattack thinking the baby is gonna be retarded due to the dad being a moron.
One of my favorite lines
god damn did this fucking ring true. this actress is everything
She looks like a mix of Arya stark and Margery Tyrrell
freaking....spot....on...wow your good
good point
or just - emma stone?
Priyadarshani Shrestha or just rihanna?
Gods yess
Why is this award-winning?
I would love to get my life time back.
I was looking for this comment. Plenty of beautiful and meaningful short movies, and THIS won something
@@simonestefani9499 it's fucking dumb plain and simple
@@simonestefani9499 same. 😂
These were really good actors wow!! 🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏
i liked his range of expression when the news started sinking in - well done all over
this guy was high as sky scraper
xmenxwk HAHAHAHAHAHA
Even higher
IS ANYONE ELSE CONCERNED ON HOW SHE GOT HIM THERE IF THEY DIDN'T KNOW EACHOTHERS NAME????????????????????????????????
Anna V Exactly
Anna V Wow.... pretty great point
Because if she did she would have caught it when he gave her a fake name.
Yeah, I was wondering. Maybe she had his name / number. And called him to talk and he thought, cool a date, but I don't remember her. Of course, she probably would've said her name in the phone call.
WITH THE POWER OF VAGINA
"HEY DAD! LETS SMOKE THIS SHIT!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Oh my eff gee 😂😂😂😂
she has pretty eyes
Hin Hin your profile pic is pretty
Ikr
She's known for that
Oh yeah... Well YOU have pretty eyes 👀
I don't know why so many people didn't "get" or appreciate the humor-- I thought this was hilarious. But to each their own!
😹😹😹😹 lmao......... but the endd..... owww he left that gorgeous emily 😿
u would do the same if u were in his place :P
dont think so,,, that guy dont wanna be in a permanent relationship.....but umm i do love it,,,with such a nice girl
A.K Streamin lol putang ina
heidbrain
It's actually possible to get pregnant while already pregnant they would just be twins and possibly born at different times
Oh my god,both of them look sooo beautiful
They really are
Emily: "IT'S WEDNESDAY" .....why aren't you wearing pink?
yeah, that's the real problem
7:00 - totally started crying :( Whoever made this movie is a damn genius!! It's like a really funny sad stoner comedy that makes you cry and laugh at the same time. awesome!
Hahaha, genius is a stretch. But I'll take it. :)
Great video and acting! The interesting part is where she asks what he does for a living. It's clear that she's just as big of an immature baby as he is by jumping into bed without knowing what a loser Mark is. They're both too irresponsible to drink. So the baby will be left holding the bag and trying his best to make up where his parents left off. But with what education? Neither of the parents is exceptionally bright. There goes the neighborhood. The film was funny in a tongue-in-cheek reality check. I just hope it brings common sense to a few who watch it. That would be awesome!!
watching "Mark" sitting there like a complete knob made ME feel smart.
The actress and the actor have done justice to the characters, Much enjoyable.
-5 years later, If you're still watching this you're a legend.
Katie and Taso, brilliant! Applause applause and more applause, standing and still more applause!
7:58
What's my name????
- qUeStIoN mArK !!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I died 😂😂😂😂😂
No one got why we shot it when we shot it. Now they know!
LMAO. Short and to the point. It's funny and real at the same time. Sadly, there ARE men like this out there.
Thank you for this comment, I was really looking for it...🙂
So beautiful. Both the actress and the movie.
love both the actors .very pleasant to watch them ride the story very smoothly
Why is she angry that he can't recall her name? I don't think she knows his name either. During the entire conversation she never calls him by his name.
The assumption is that she invited him to meet up so she must have remembered his name - you are right though, they should oh had her say it at least once first.
maybe she was angry at the fact they didn't even knew each other's names
Ed Loki she was really bitchy
Samm Y bc she was pregnant. When ur pregnant ur hormones go crazy
...in fact, I doubt that Mark isn't even his real name. My guess is he gave her a made-up name and she had no idea.
Whenever I watch it, I really enjoy with tremendous amount of smiles.
Awesome dialogues, expression and hilarious ending.
RED
You wouldn't think the ending is hilarious, if you are the PREGNANT woman.
Such a true portrayal of cheap guys😂😂😂
And it's at that point you call the ex that you presumably have had sex with prior to the breakup and say "I'm pregnant..." lol
Marlissa Cunningham Lol
yea lets make her irresponsibility and choices the problem of someone not involved
Marlissa Cunningham and women like you are demons
Hey, it's a strategy.
Omg I really hope this was just a joke 🤣😭😂
I am in love with her blue eyes ,, ..blue eyes hypnotized. 🤩🤩🥰
They are mesmerizing
This was friggin' hilarious! Loved it!
Back again to watch this for the 5th time
loving that silence of the lamb close ups
Hahaha. YES!!
NO WAY!!!! Is that the princess from Never Ending Story?! She aged well haha.
Ha!
It's cool, go make a POF profile with all the other preggo women who don't know where the fathers are. Spectacular actress.
Hands down the funniest thing I have seen in a long time
I read some of the comments, politically correct and all. I thought the film was excellent with Miss Vincent being an absolute standout. She did the heavy work and rode the emotional rollercoaster like a jockey. The scene was set up like an Off Broadway type play. You're tempted to say that, but for the mostly unseen waitress, they were the only two people in the film. That is a sure sign of a well told story. When you are talented enough as a filmmaker to leave the viewer thinking that all those other actors don't count because they were simply imagination figments in the minds of the two leads .... well, then you've really made a good film.
I thought you were gonna go dark at the end and have Taso shoot or hang himself in the bathroom or something. LOL. Great job, man. Ya got a new subscriber
Animal food tester: so wrong in multiple different levels : speechless.
Dog food, cat food, fish food (basically worms), all kinds!
I predicted he was going to run away. I'm not really sure how to feel about this short. O_O" Other than the acting was amazing. :)
It's not about the end of the road, it's about how we get there :)
Brilliant . They'd make a great couple .
The lady is so unreal... superb acting.
she's really good. really good actress
I liked the flash back when he’s figuring out her name, that was pretty original
Thanks! I stole that from Wes Anderson.
Looks like Planned Parenthood made a movie. 👶🏼
"I'm not raising this baby by myself so tell me are you in or out?"
Lol what????
Girl is so beautiful ❤ Love her and love her acting 😘
haha he doesnt even know her name! omg lol
she does not know his lol!
In his defense, she didn't know his either.
Meggi, come on - they both fucked up equally, no? Is the woman more responsible? I mean that'd be a good policy for every individual to take: - chosing a mate (possibly a temporary one) more wisely. Being more careful about conceiving. But at this point, where they both know she's pregnant. He's childish and stupid. And she's trying to figure out how to take care of it. He's certainly not taking the responsibility for the child. So: 50% of the blame for conceiving the child, agreed. And, I would suggest 100% of the responsibility caring for the child for each of them. Make sure they have clean, warm, dry / cool, safe place to live.Healthful food, clean water. And that you're present with them. Nice community to be a part of. Education (which could, itself, include many varied possibilities). He's going for zero.
I think this could also be viewed indirectly as a criticism of our society and how much money we need to pay for housing, food, and education. We could do it many fold better with a tiny fraction of what we actually spend, if we had any creativity. And weren't focused on just selling people shit. Check out permaculture.
Approving my point - is very awkward at best. I think you meant proving my point, i.e. showing it to be true.
how can they both have fucked equally, the guy did make a run. the girl is now a single mother having to raise the child alone with all burdens. clearly she is the big looser here.
she doesnt know his full name nor where he lives she cannot even press child money from him.
there is a behaviour where 50/50 of both gender are responsible for outcome, but the women is finally the looser. it would be the other way around if they were married and the women leaves the dude. than the guy is the big looser.
but the biggest looser anyways is the yet to be born child.
"He's childish and stupid. And she's trying to figure out how to take care of it. He's certainly not taking the responsibility for the child. " -> thats exactly my point. The movie shows a stupid not responsible man while she seems to handle it correct. all blame to the man. typical men shaming. nothing else.
btw her first question is, how much money do you earn. says much about her idea of how the man has to take responsibility. why didnt she ask who will raise the child? what if he said "i take the baby after birth and raise it, but you do monthly payments to support it"
Check the comments here what girls are writing. they only see the badass male. They dont see that the female fucked up too. The message of this video, to take responsibility for own action to prevent this matter is not caught up by girls at all. its just the badass male. and thats where this movie fails.. it didnt deliver the message.
Katie Cakez he
"it's wednesday" 😂😂 her thinking the motherfo still disappoints
When will death take me....precursor to the most uttered statement by a parent. ❤️ this movie.
This movie is the Representation of Ugly Western Culture these days.
Yeah
This Lady is Killer. Good! keep up with many more amazing works :)
The scene with the baby saying 'I'm going to burn your fucking house down.' Is TOO accurate. XDDDDD
Love the ending lol
it's not a fu*#ing plant! hilarious..
How is this meant to be funny?
I thought the same thing... until the end. :-D Because she's smart and completely in tune with her unfortunate situation the whole time; exasperated with him and looking for a workable solution, right? And theeeeen she goes and gets all goo-goo eyed and hopeful when he says he's going to "be there" by letting HER take care of all the financial burden and responsibility for the child, while he provides an endless supply of tainted dog food. LMAO!!! Who's the dummy now?!! Oh yeah, and then he runs for the hill... but we saw that one coming. :-p
if u have experience to have such a situation u will get the jok :D my girl and I used to have the same exact conversation
hahhaahaha you're right this is a terror shortfilm
You need a dark sense of humor
It is funny because the story is absurd. A person does not hand over their entire future to someone they would never connect with in normal circumstances. She was drunk, depressed and feelings of low-self worth. Should anyone suffer the consequences of a bad decision that would impact two peoples lives forever (3 if you count the baby who has no chance for a wonderful life)? Comedy is always based on tragedy and however you look at this comical video, it is filled with tragedy with what has happened, what was happening and the potential of what could happen. It is so close to tragic reality that it can only be funny. Case in point; consider why there are so many jokes about marriage for example. The best way to cope with an unhappy situation is to laugh about it
great actors and direction,I can feel the vibe hahaha
Without a doubt my favorite short film of all time I've seen it so many times and can watch it so many more and still won't get bored it's so good
It's something else for sure. Hahaha!
the best funny short film of all time is "the gunfighter." i had no part in making it nor do i need to promote it. if you found this funny then you will most likely piss yourself. its even narrated by nick offerman.
just realized im responding to a four year old comment.
Questionable way to portrait accidental pregnancy
Katie Vincent. Camera loves her.
I like how she said "the baby" lol
Very believable!
The person who is reading this may have a blessed day
Ditto!
@@DarkPassageFilms they may not have a blessed day
Very well done and very funny, for men anyways. The comments show, that many women put themselves in the reality of the situation, which prevented them from seeing the humour. In my experience, men/boys rarely develop emotionally beyond fifteen year-olds, so I guess women are justified in feeling discouraged.
Carlos Idelone in nature, there was never really a need for emotional maturity past fifteen years old.
Thanks. This is the only sensible explanation for why this doesn't seem funny. I'm only starting to understand how scary it seems for a man to take responsibility for raising a baby. If I'm generous, it's because guys know it's a big deal and they feel they aren't up to it, so humor and idiocy is one way to handle the situation. It's telling that the first time the baby appears in his brain it says "I'm going to burn your house down"-- he knows his whole life is over if he accepts this reality, so act stupid, make a joke and RUUUUUUUUUUUUN! I can see why that is funny to a guy and not to a woman.
In which case there needs to be another telling of this story where the guy reacts with no sense of concern or worry, nor excitement or love. What would it be like if he said "Okay, let's do this. I'll rearrange my life and we can do some collaborating until it fits for you, too. Here's my card, call me. I'm in." She'd be f'ing stunned. That would make me laugh and laugh. Dark Films, please make that short.
@@adomaster123 I think, that that is more of a result of our more modern anonymous and artificial society, where people can just disappear and remain unaccountable for their actions, out of reach of the supervision of a small closely-knit community.
Also actress was great to look at -she lights up the screen & is constantly working it -I hope to see more of her
The sound track!! 💕
It's awesome!
I would like my 13 minutes back please!!!
her eyes are really faaaaaaaar apart.
True, but she is damn cute. Really, REALLY cute. Everyone's eye spacing varies, but her wider than average spacing really suits her.
The kid's should be normal as his were so goofily close together.
They're awesome though.
So is your head from the brim of the gutter.
I was gonna comment that!!
Especially love the guy, he's great
Lol, I'm not finished watching but when he said he'd take care of all the food with " dog food" I was thinking she's gonna have a litter of cute puppies😂😁
This is just so tragic...i had a lump in my throat the whole time... where is the comic in this one :(
Comedy and tragedy... two sides of the same coin
ending was expected or should I say...EXPECTING?
Nice!
That mascara...or whatever that thing is called...that's super-glued!
That is a great ad for not having one night stands.
This left me depressed
Oh when will death take me. Ima start using that line.
Be my guest
LMAO The guy's world turned so grey -literally- when she said 'I'm pregnant'.
That "empty stare", it's a killer!
Loved it. So natural and flawless acting.
This is like Knocked Up, but it's actually entertaining to watch and had a better lead actress.
Zing!
Emily is so damn gorgeous. I love her 😘
i predicted the ending perfectly!
Me too!
I knew how it would go .Lol. Funny movie & sad . Life is a tragedy/ comedy in a way . Sigh. I even knew her name would start w/ E ! Lol. The song at the end reminded of D. Bowie's .
2:29 i have reached the deep web
Welcome aboard. There's no leaving this place.
This was great ! A really good cast and hilarious. They didn't even know each others name and they were going to raise a baby together.The guy acted like he was down to single digit brain cells. Great short. I'm subbing
Well, that's 13 minutes I'll never get back.
the best part was after shaking hands , they do not even know each other names Lol
