I just can't stop watching comedy 🎭

Like I said in my last post, I will be looking at more comedy films that were recommended  this website https://ask.metafilter.com/367440/Youtube-Filter-What-are-some-good-5-7-minute-short-film-comedies 

Okay so there is this Youtube channel called “The Dress Up Gang” which has many different comedy short films to watch. 

The first short film I watched was “Toothpick Intervention for Donny.” I thought it was so cute and funny.

Basically, this short film is a comedic take on interventions, exaggerating the idea of addiction by applying it to something harmless, like toothpicks. The story follows Donny, whose excessive use of toothpicks makes his friends feel disconnected from him. They stage an intervention, with a therapist present, to convince him to stop. Throughout the film, the humor comes from how seriously everyone treats the situation, using dramatic language and intense emotions over something trivial. The film plays with themes of habit, perception, and social dynamics—showing how small behaviors can influence relationships and how people can overanalyze simple actions. It also highlights the power in making personal changes, as seen when Donny ultimately burns his collection of toothpicks to break the cycle. Overall, the film uses absurdity to poke fun at the way people respond to habits they don’t understand, while also touching on the idea of personal growth and letting go.

The second short film I watched was called “Did Frankie Pee in the Pool?”

The film "Did Frankie Pee in the Pool?" is a concise comedy short that revolves around a simple yet relatable premise. The story follows Frank, who has been lounging in his friend's pool for over two hours while consuming several beers. This naturally leads his friends to suspect he's relieved himself in the water. The humor builds as the pool owner becomes increasingly protective of his property, confronting Frank who maintains his innocence throughout. The tension escalates when one friend attempts to get revenge by threatening to pour what appears to be his own urine into the pool. In a comedic twist, Frank drinks the liquid, revealing it's actually juice, not urine. The final punchline delivers when we learn that Frank had indeed been peeing in the pool all along, considering it "the perfect crime" since no one could prove it. The film effectively uses situational comedy, natural dialogue, and a surprise ending to create humor without relying on complex setups or elaborate jokes.
