    Ingenius

    A fantastic post modern premise this short is hilarious and masterfully crafted. Quick and straight to the point this surprisingly action packed quickie has the potential for a full scale film and I highly recommend a watch

    An Experimental Western? You Better Believe It

    Cowboys have never been known to be intellectuals but when a voice tells them what to do you know the stereotype is pushed even further. Frisky gunslingers, a black bartender and a lady of the night are the cast in this funny Western where individuals rail against their fate and end up inevitably in a situation they've been trying to avoid in the first place. Clocking in at a little under ten minutes, this short is a giggle of a nugget.

    happened upon this and it's great

    I watched something on youtube and then this popped up as a suggestion with one of those ridiculous click-bait titles like "FUNNIEST THING EVER" which I know to ignore. But I was bored so I hit play.

    It's a simple set up; a western where a guy walks into a bar while a narrator explains his purpose. Only everyone in the bar hears the narrator. From there it just gets crazier and crazier, and is super funny and clever. It really is one of the best shorts I've seen on YouTube.

    Loved it!

    Browsing Amazon Prime Video I came across this brilliant gem. I thought it was a movie and wondered how they could keep the premise going, but sadly it's a short 9 minute film. The whole thing is hilarious from start to finish complete with the trope of a stranger walking into town, the reward for the capture of someone in the saloon, the standard saloon prostitute, the bartender, the token black guy. It's worth a watch and I'd love to see more.

    So good, please watch this!

    So funny! Saw this hidden gem on YouTube, I don't want to give any spoilers so here goes. This clever short takes the Western formula and tips it on it's head. We have a narrator to help us along. It makes for a hilarious narrative. Please make this into a feature, the world needs it!

      [first lines]

      The Narrator: The weary gunfighter walked slowly through the saloon. The long miles from Cheyenne had taken their toll.

      The Gunfighter: Who's sayin' that stuff?

      The Narrator: He scanned the room with a suspicious eye. Years on the run from the law had taught him that a tough man could get out of a situation, but a smart man never gets himself into one.

      The Gunfighter: Please quit doin' that. I just want to have a shot of whiskey in peace.

      The Narrator: But the gunfighter would find no peace for the Henderson boys were waiting in the corner to kill him for the $200 bounty on his head.

      The Gunfighter: Is that true? Are you boys tryin' to kill me like this voice is sayin'?

      Tommy Henderson: Ah, no...

      The Narrator: ...lied the oldest Henderson boy.
