I really enjoyed this video. Any short film that combines a real-life scenario, an ironic ending, and pre-COVID-reality humour deserves a comment, thumbs up, and 5-star rating!
@@IzajResGS Doesn't this video seem all too real and relevant today, compared to how it might have felt watching it years ago? That was the point of my comment
@@IzajResGS what are you talking about? How many minor or major flus affected people and governments globally? Whether you agree with its seriousness, things changed dramatically and it's not quite over yet.
In spite of myself, I really empathize. I've fled from overcrowded elevators ( politely muttering "my floor" ) and many times stopped breathing for unconscionably long times to avoid the coughs and sneezes. Well done and very accurate ...
Fun fact! The weight limit on an elevator is often times 4x less than what it really is. This is done because they want to scare people away who have extremely heavy items. An elevator can hold the weight of every human that can fit in it’s entire cubic space and be fine. It has a problem when your carrying in a supermassive tank of water or huge amounts of metal or extremely heavy furniture.
Fun fact the person writing this comment could be a troll pretending the weight is four times as much so that people will overexceed the weight and then crash the elevator
@@rasheedbengdon8163 which is why you always need to cross-referemce before taking something as absolute fact. Good call! Though, an elevator that size (and considering the time this was made), the machine drive would still be able to hold all of them safely. The weight limit could range from 2000-4000 lbs if they're using proper counterweights. PikaBlu is technically correct
That’s so hilarious. A truly pure comedy that don’t need scripts or talks. I almost cried when he took out his calculator and assume the people weight. There is no offense to the obesity people or swine flu patients, the film just give us laughs from basic things in our life. I also love the music and the mise en scene, all components in the film synthesize very well. Thanks for the film, peace.
I love this short. Makes you appreciate life and reminds you that the grass is not always greenER. But the look on his face when big boy entered the elevator... lol
That camera angle at 1:10 was masterful.. captured just how tight it was in there... as soon as I saw that phone rise out of the abyss I sensed it was math time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I watched a bunch today and were mostly lovely stories... this Elevator is probably most depressing of them, hehe...iI also use a skip if is going that way.... reccomend...
My jaw dropped at the same time his dropped 😂 like-“no way! This ain’t happening’! I gotta get outta here!” Me yelling at the guy like-“tell them people to get out your way and move before you stuck in there!” 🤣 These people ain’t notice the elevator drop??😂
I didn't have any expectations and sat to watch freshly. Amazing humorous short film. I couldn't control my laughter when he opens his calculator, looks at that woman and types 245...Epic shot...thanks for making this day have a great ending!
I know your thinking "take the stairs". I've done exactly this after seeing the people in the elevator. So I fly up the stairs 5 floors up only to find it locked. Go back downstairs the way I came and it too is locked. Talk about a F'd up hospital that had this type of arrangement. The security camera picked me up and they came to the rescue. LoL.
It is a short film that is very interesting and we can easily understand it . I used to never even get into an elevator, but in my practice, now I see that thinking too much is something to be worried about.
My mind was screaming "social distancing" when he was in the first elevator and when they started coughing in the second elevator i could feel their cough through the screen and had to wash my hands after the video was over😷
I´m going to use this short in my ESL C1 class for a discussion on COMMUNICATION. Based on the video, "The Elevator" appears to convey a message about communication, particularly nonverbal communication, and the importance of being aware of one's surroundings and making informed decisions based on observation.
L.O.L.! Funnist shrot film ive ever seen! :D :P i loooove it i love it i love it i love it!!! more please gregory (like that one pope a few years ago u know haha)
@@pezpuck6390 shut teh FUCK up kid.... do you know who ia m?... do you realize who i am?.. what im capable of?... the things ive done?...... i wouldnt keep up this snarky tone if i were you..... .just a fair waring is all.... .just a warnnign.... 😈😈😈
I’m surprised the comments didn’t light up with “fat shaming” comments. Good to see there are still folks who appreciate comedy for the sake of comedy. Great short film.
Great short film! I always love seeing what RUclips had to offer in the early years... I miss it. Freaking LOVE the calculator. He knew what he had to do lol.
Thomas clueso Huebner He's not being racist, but instead commenting on the fact that the man has similar features to him. If you saw someone with features like you (e.g: hair or eye colour) and commented on it would that be rasist. No. so why are you saying this is?
Not everybody that's Arrican American look the same you may reexamine that though and realize that we are individuals who have our own look and appearances have open mind on that matter and that different sizes too.
Willie Seals III This thread is geeetting serious.The guy just probably made a bad joke or is just trolling around. Let's just stop givig attention to this
Moral Lesson: ALWAYS take the stairs.
+Chiarella Von Schweetz lol
do you?
yes i do.
Chiarella Von Schweetz I always take the stairs too!!
I fat and I ALWAYS take the stairs. I hate the elevator music.
i cant believe he pulled out the calculator... im too done
i d do the same thing or just try to count in my mind

Cannot believe you met Goku

Sometimes you just gotta do the math.
Honestly when he exited the first elevator I thought we were going to hear a bunch of screams from the elevator falling. 😂😂😂😂
X2
Yeah, I thought so too.
😁
Did ya notice, he didn't add his own scrawny weight... as most of us don't.
Me too!!!
Lifts are designed to handle x2 more of max wieght. So technically it could fall at around 4000

Completely forgot that Swine Flu was the big epidemic back in 2010. Who knew the algorithm understood dark humour.
It doesn't understand anything, just like people doesn't understand masks.
This main guy is a mix of Jimmy Fallon and Robert Downey Jr.
Add some Bill Hader to that.
and a dash of mike myers...oooooh behave!
more bill hader...anyway did you all see the phlegm to the back of the head
And Dwight Shrute
Dylan Nalyd Agree,
Love that first shot of him pulling out the calculator--that's where I started laughing.
I laughed when he saw the big ILLINOIS guy walking towards the elevator...
Was already laughing and then it turned into a guffaw.
Yes, that was a funny part. But, how dare he assume to know their weights, even though he was right in being concerned.
It's been 10 years man.. how are you?
He should've be like:" Well guess that's were i'm going too now."
Pvte Pyle literally
The words just couldn't come out but that was the important moment, he missed it 😢
this is a stand up, pure comedy without words just plain movement and reality. loving it. you're a genius.
I think the idea is funny but the realisation was a bit tedious.
bot
this is like a SNL sketch if it was funny.
Anyone else watching this during the quarantine and feeling it’s too real!? Lmao
🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Yeah, this is life 2020. Sometimes it sucks.
Hows it goin? 👋
I hope you realise by now that it was and still is all fake

Good comment, well worded.
half these comments say take the stairs but how often do you actually take the stairs?
at my office we only took the stairs. only old or crippled people took the lift.
Why would you take the long way when there is a short way... Exactly the point.

Always because I'm claustrophobic.
NumberSixteen BusShelter almost always actually
All the time, I like to maintain my ass toned.

@@rasheedbengdon8163 That's my suspicion too, since basically humans are water so it should weigh about the same as an equal volume of water.

This is great to watch at a time like this with coronu
🤦🏻♂️
Ruby Young funny while I was watching this that the first thought that poped into my head
I'm literally watching this rn😂 while all of this is going on
😄😁😂 Exactly Ruby young 😄😃😀🤣
@@malakahbanathyasharahla2302 glad you watched it
Working at an office on the ninth floor, this film was right on target. I'm still smiling from your presentation.Well done.
I love this short. Makes you appreciate life and reminds you that the grass is not always greenER. But the look on his face when big boy entered the elevator... lol
There's a crazy guy with a machete in the stairwell.
Good one!
Which part?
Zyjlo nj
Hahaha never would have thought of that
From comedy to halloween spirit, love it! well, i did get here from "Tuck me In" short film..
Whoever watching this in 2020 knows that level 7 was still fine.
That camera angle at 1:10 was masterful.. captured just how tight it was in there... as soon as I saw that phone rise out of the abyss I sensed it was math time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks cause now we gotta do google classroom on this film 😐😤😭
I couldn’t stop laughing ever since he pulled the calculator out!
Finally I found a not depressive suicidal short movie, it just gets annoying even if they're great
its cheerfully suicidal?
I watched a bunch today and were mostly lovely stories... this Elevator is probably most depressing of them, hehe...iI also use a skip if is going that way.... reccomend...
I am glad that people can make films and laugh together. Mankind is the only species I've known to do it.

😂😂😂 As the saying goes " Out of the frying pan into the fire"
LMFAO I LOVE THIS. "Swine Flu Treatment Center" I'M DEAD
Love the music...great video. No need for a script. Outstanding. 2022 looking good.
I couldn't stop laughing when someone sneezed on his hair. Thanks for movie .

Lol!
Lol, I had to walk down 16 floors because of that. I thought the same way.
That is the face of, "I guess this is my life, now."
1:18 I started dying lol. I do this EVERY TIME I get in an elevator. I count in my head tho lol
April 3, 2020. Relevant AF.
Ya ya
He jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.
Still recommending after all these years. 😂
The comedy points in this film were absolutely genius. Don't stop making films!
this was hilarious LOL definitely enjoyed watching

Better than most of the short films I have seen on youtube. I am sick of hallucinations and illusion based short films, this was pretty refreshing.
This is the best short film I have ever seen
Laughed too hard when he pulled out that calculator
After watching this... I’m still going to avoid the stairs
The main actor is quite good.
my dude went through the five stages of grief in this
I love how that guy accurately guesses the weight of those people
So funny! Just when he thought he was out of danger.... Thanks for sharing.
It is a short film that is very interesting and we can easily understand it . I used to never even get into an elevator, but in my practice, now I see that thinking too much is something to be worried about.
On the next floor people got in the elevator returning from the building cafeteria. Todays special: hot chili and bean burritos!
great job, and so funny, love the acting and the way everything is put together!
My mind was screaming "social distancing" when he was in the first elevator and when they started coughing in the second elevator i could feel their cough through the screen and had to wash my hands after the video was over😷
You can't be serious.

Screw this I'm takin the stairs from now on.
i thought the second one would fall
Same
When he started doing calculations! 🤣

Hey! I'm one of the people in the elevator! EEW, wild times.
I kept waiting for somebody to fart in time to the elevator music.😂
Maybe there is an obesity treatment center on the left.
Nbijbf?lbfx. Nnnvzzx. Vhhhfn b
Hahaha!
that’s sounds a little rude ngl
Making fun of people’s weight what are you 4 grow up when you thought of this did you laugh to yourself thinking it was funny what an idiot🙄🤬🤗
That’s a bit sad ngl
Usually not a big fan of shorts, but this one was great :) Well done.
Svitlanaa Thank you!

That has to be the Jones BBQ Foot Massage dude
Exactly why I hate elevators. That's why I always take the stairs -- especially in a hospital or medical building. But it was a funny short film.
L.O.L.! Funnist shrot film ive ever seen! :D :P i loooove it i love it i love it i love it!!! more please gregory (like that one pope a few years ago u know haha)
wow you sure are excited buddy

Whatching it in Coronao time hits different..
this is very well done
Thanks!
Elevators can withstand way more than 2,000 pounds, its just there to make sure idiots don't try to push it above the actual capacity.
I've had goods lifts not function because of overloading
Having "Strangers in the Night" as the music was a great touch!
This film is used for me in the study
I’m surprised the comments didn’t light up with “fat shaming” comments. Good to see there are still folks who appreciate comedy for the sake of comedy. Great short film.
What did one elevator say to the other elevator?
I think I'm coming down with something.
Littlebunchkin Of fun! You have me in hysterics with this one!! 🤣😂🤣
Hahaha
Great short film! I always love seeing what RUclips had to offer in the early years... I miss it. Freaking LOVE the calculator. He knew what he had to do lol.
I think this video related daily life.
There are no speechs but I enough to enjoy.
I pulled up the calculator on my phone right before he did. I was cracking up! LOL!
moral of the story: take the stairs
kcirred htims moral of the story don't put a bunch of fat people in a elevator
You notice how everyone getting on the elevator are plus size peoples. He constantly getting push further in the back. LOL......
yeah we noticed
Really when did that happen?
Stephanie Mullen what minute ? Didn't realize it
I think he's BS'n never saw anything like that ...
No fucken way
Oh my gosh, I literally laughed my butt off. I could totally see myself doing that in a elevator. xD
9 years from this comment
Wow
' laughed my butt off ' sounds distinctly like a euphemism for another bodily function, not appreciated in a confined space.
When he pulled out the calculator... Lmao!!! This was a good 1.
Nice sketch...I thought he was going to call on the phone to go in an emergency.💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
Excellent! Without spoiling anything, I've done what he did (without a calculator) on several elevator rides. Very funny!
I like the black guy. I like seeing people in movies that look like me.
Cori Jacobs so all black people look like like you? And all blacks look alike lol? Racism.
Thomas clueso Huebner He's not being racist, but instead commenting on the fact that the man has similar features to him. If you saw someone with features like you (e.g: hair or eye colour) and commented on it would that be rasist. No. so why are you saying this is?

I like this short film more than all that I've seen so far! Most are always dramas or thrillers but this made me laugh pretty hard. Well done
Brilliant! Can't wait to see his "Road Dog"
Roflmao. The grass only LOOKED greener turns out it was food coloring 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Got the damn tune stuck in my head lol
same
He escaped the rain, by running into the storm
Loved this! Great concept.
Nice movie. I liked it ;)
LOL!!!!! Out of the frying pan and into the fire!!! Excellent!!!
This made me laugh pretty hard. I love it!
So stairs is best :)
his smile at
2:42 is great!
next time, take the stairs!!!😋
LOL! I cringed when everyone started coughing and died when the sign was revealed. Great job!

Moral: When something like that happens, just think that it is not a good day for you.
I think the ending can be: he hesitated for few seconds , the. he decided to walk out the elevator to go to the swine flue treatment centre too.
That would have been better. Thought the same thing. They messed that ending up.
*if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.*
Out of the frying pan but into the fire... nice funny video😂🤣😂
this should be award winning short
I agree.
