The idea behind 5 Second Films is to create a complete story in just 5 seconds of footage (along with an additional 2 seconds of title screen and 1 second of credits). It is really great to see how people work within these restrictions to create things of great humor and, occasionally, real beauty. Many of the videos on the site are great. Even when you run into a “bad” video, it is only a few seconds long, so you don’t end up getting pissed off that you just spent the last 90 seconds of you life watching some little asshole stumble around his living room making his armpit fart.
This video made me laugh mightily.
I’m not sure why I laughed so much at this, but I think it had something to do with the guy punching himself in the head. That seems to get me every time.
