The Gunfighter | A Short Film by Eric Kissack (narrated by Nick Offerman)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- In a small town in the old west, a lone and weary gunfighter enters a saloon. As he walks through the room surrounded by the people of the town, a voice begins narrating the scene, telling us exactly who this gunfighter is. But unlike every classic western to use the
narrator trope, the characters in this film can hear the voice.
This omniscient narrator quickly begins divulging the deepest, darkest secrets of the people in the saloon. He exposes infidelity, homosexuality, prejudice and even a bit of bestiality. As the story unfolds it becomes evident that the voice is a bloodthirsty bastard that wants nothing more than to see the people of the town kill each other in a needless gunfight.

"and i might be gay" is as perfect of comedic delivery as I have ever seen.
In the grand scheme of things being gay did seem like the least of all their worries. 🤣
So bro was thinking about kissing the younger Henderson brother
Me when my friends check my browser history
No comments seriously that’s a first
Nope. “Lets not get carried away” after the “women” was golden 😂
“You know what, I see - where you’re going with this; and I’m just gonna retract my disgust right now.”
I fuckin died at that part.
But ya still wanted to know...lol
lol again
😂🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha lol yes :-))
Martha bill?! Martha?! 😣
Who are all those professionals who spent amazing amount of time, effort, talent and money on this GLORIOUS piece of ART?
It literally shows who made it right after it ends. It's called " end credits "
Real men
@@BMWS1000RRR I bet if someone was watching this on a phone , they wouldn't be able to see them.
@@Ang3la990s well lets not get carried away...
@@illbebad Kinda like the bear......
Seven years later and this is still gold!
I just saw it for the first time haha
Heartily agree.
CONGRATS ON 700!!!🎇🎊⚡🏆
@@tobeyplaunty1321 i just saw the short about it and watched it first time
better plot, idea, and character development than anything we have seen recently
"And she celebrated by scratching her front porch." I laughed at that the most.
"Or a woman!"
"Let's not get carried away."
I'm dying!
i watch this about four times a year; its an absolute masterpiece.
every actor was perfect and nick offerman's delivery is spectacular.
Yes, me too. About 4 times a year and I've made many other people watch it as well.
i do the same
Me three!
An awesome ballet of humour!!!
A measly four times a year?! Bloody rookies.
😂👏🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
1:23 "No, im asking you, you fcking .... voice ?!" a golden line 😂
Said the oldest Henderson boy.
@@fortminor85 🤣
I'd make a comment, but the narrator already knows what it would be. Great job.
You should write. You what to look for when you watch shows!
said frogisme not knowing that...
That's right he knows more than you lol
Fr
frogisme , nice one buddy!!
They could do a whole movie with this premise.
They have, sort of.
Look up "stranger than fiction."
Should* fr fr 😂
They have. Years ago
Would be one of the best comedies ever
They did sort of. Only one character could hear it though. Strange Than Fiction.
I come back to this every couple months and it only gets better. This film is genuinely crafted to perfection and everyone involved has done an absolutely outstanding job. The fact it "only" has ~4 million views is a complete travesty. This should have 100+ million views.
Aggree with you, this is hands down best short film i have ever saw. I also return time to time watch this.
Same I've Watched this probably 10 times or more over the years. it's starting to show up in Shorts lately on a few Chanel's as well.
People tend to like violence and drama and as this short movie seems to be purposely steering away from that and denoting how it's trying to downplay the violence and drama all the way up to the end when you think it might just not have any. People don't gobble that up sadly. I do agree with you, it's a travesty (btw wonderful word usage 😊)
I just discovered this jewel, and I laughed my ass out the entire time. Shame no long film is even remotely as entertaining as this short, that's a masterpiece of humour
I like how The Voice went along with our man's speech and even played a music to make it more impressive: 7:04
This is the funniest short-film I have ever seen in my life.
TRUE BRO LMAO
Me too!!! 😂😂😂
One of the funniest anythings i have ever seen.
samee :)
I concur,
The comedic timing before the last 'but he was' was perfection.
said the old fart 4 years ago
@@cholasimmons Hey. Who you calling 'old'?
I know, I screamed with laugher....
How did this not become a movie pure 100% comedy gold
It is a movie just a short one
cos it cant really be stretched out that far, at most it could work as an episode of a twilight zone type show
It does everything it's gonna do in these 9 minutes. It's a series of funny revelations that crescendos with the final, inevitable, gun fight and ends with a punchline about Sally. There's not really anywhere else to take it, at least not without watering the joke down to the point of banality.
Who ever wrote this, is a genius.
Said Mark Tucker, however....
Whoever wrote this is a predictable turd. It might have been funny forty years ago. But now it is just more entertainment group think bullshit. Now if they were brave to go on the other side and deconstruct politically correct tropes, I would be impressed. As is, its just one more lame attempt at making manliness seem out dated. Its not.
@@mariasmith2198 Said the angry feminist who cooks dinner for her husband who she nicked from her comrade, after a get together 2 years ago, but having an affair and lied before she married him.
@@mariasmith2198 Damn! If you only focus on the movies 3 or 4 jabs at social stigmas, maybe it's predictable and redundant, but you're blurring 99% of the movie because of your political stance.
@@mariasmith2198 You're gonna get kidney failure from all this saltiness
This is likely the BEST western movie ever made, and it's 8 minutes long. Eric Kissack is a genius
I love it too, but the BEST western movie? Like, we just going to forget True Grit, both the original and the Coen Brother remake, A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, or My Name is Nobody, Django Unchained, Once Upon A Time in The West, etc.?
A Million Ways to Die in the West is the best Western movie ever made. Fight me!
@@into.the.wood.chipper. i will admit its a fun movie. But idk man westerns use to be really popular and they have a few bangers.
@@jacobburch7555 Being popular doesn't equal being good, you've implied that because you think they aren't popular anymore perhaps they aren't good.
He sure Kickasses ! ;o)
Possibly, the most enjoyable 8 minutes I've watched in recent and distant memory. Thanks for that.
Yep
I absolutely agree with that
.
watch the son
You mightn't believe it but this played in the middle of SesameStreet in NewZealand in nineteen ninety two.
Emilio D'alise yr
Who dreamed up this?! OMG! Perfectly executed.
"Ya know what.....I see where you're going with this.....and I'm just gonna retract my disgust right now....if that's possible"
LMAO Best Line!!!
it really is though
....n just mooooove oooon....!
OMG, I laughed so hard!
It was followed by: "Let's just mooooooove on.", also very funny.
Martha? Not Martha!
Especially with his delivery. 🤣
Shoulda ended with “little did she know she was going to be mauled do death by a bear that was standing right behind her” 😂
Tommy would have warned her, if he wasn't dead already.
yeah that would have been much better
I actually remembered like that...
man. That wouldve been perfect
I was expecting that
I’ve had this movie in my “watch later” list for a couple years. Just didn’t get to it till today.
Why did I wait so long?
Absolutely fantastic!!
There was a bear behind you.
@@DrForrester87
...lied JDH87.
In truth it took him so long because he had a tea party with his dolls.
@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 "He ain't got no dolls". LOL
@@timetofly291 lied to cover up the fact that they often went to Phoenix's house to take part as a doll themself.
Every half a year or so I find a snippet of this wonderful short film and I end up here giving it a rewatch to lighten my day.
“Well let’s not get carried away” that line had me dead
"Smells like the ass end of a China man" got me..lol
I'm in tears fam!
I want to watch a full length feature film in this format, it would be up there with Blazing Saddles.
Please make it happen.
BETTER than....
Exactly, full feature..
@@rickdeuel2652 Lets not get carried away now...
Yes
@@richardmason902 Full length would not work for me with this, just s series of short random stories
This is the greatest short film I’ve ever seen, and I’m not just saying that. I was giddy the entire time. Perfect set up, perfect comedic delivery, perfect acting, excellent cinematography. The whole shebang. This belongs in an Oscar lineup
Can we please get a whole movie like this? Because 7 years still being funny as hell is a sign.
This incomparable gem should be on the agenda of every film class. Setting, costumes, acting, dialogue--hit the mark every time. Oscar worthy in every respect!
Extraordinary footage, scenario, sound, camera, montage... every character is perfect! Wow. Just wow, guys!
...said the oldest Henderson boy ))
and acting, and costumes, and characterisation....
"Implored Tommy.............................The oldest Henderson Boy." Superb line if ever there was one.
I am so glad my memory is shit so i can re-enjoy this comedic masterpiece.
That is not a short film, it is a master piece! Think about how f****g hard it is, to tell such a komplex story on an easy and funny way in 8 minutes!!! Awesome actors, great humor and well done filming!
Thanks for sharing!
“Or a woman!”
“Let’s not get carried away”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 😂
She's dead in a day, so it really doesn't mater.
@@geraldfrost4710 so she got carried away after all
rich and poor, that is what matters to the rich to divide us, they get sex and race to divide us so they can take power.
this is better than the million dollar budget films Hollywood has produced
On point!
Somehow the funniest thing ever!!
It's the difference between beating someone with a hammer and a pillow. By pairing the story down to the action it's getting to the point without the pillow. The intro was three seconds to walk into the bar; no wasted time.
Jay
Man you have got that right.
Definitely better than whatever drivel Marvel keeps churning out nowadays.
I don't know any of the 2000 odd people who gave this gave this a thumbs down, but I'm sure not one of them is worth knowing.
gave a thumbs down? this is the kind of thing I hate about Republicans.
That has zilch to do with politics
@@BlackCat-dm5yg some people can't distinguish reality (or humor) from their prejudices... folks like doomsday people only see a nail and are only looking for a hammer even when the nail has them on a cross or in a coffin. Dassad
@@lorenkittel9459 You probably scratch your front porch a lot.
Honestly i would have given it a thumbs down if nobody got shot@lorenkittel9459
7:39. This dude really knows his priorities. Got the last sip of his drink and even after getting shot made sure his hat stayed on.
"..and the bestiality should probably stop." - probably the greatest line in any show ever.
Probably the ONLY time as a line in any movie ever!
"Probably"

Beastiality*
"And I might be gay."
I've watched this about 10 times and just heard that line.
This is GOLD! If a whole movie was like this, It would be amazingly fun.
"Stranger than Fiction" is the closest movie I can think of....
@@joketube79 8 minutes & 39 seconds is all it needed, where else could you go? The itchy whore was killed by the wolf the next day, she said, "Well F**k Me" LMAO
The ballad of Buster Scruggs is pretty close.
Whats odd is i have been watching this and showing other people this mini-movie for years, and never realized is was Nick Offerman narrating. But once it was pointed out, i was "yeah! That's why that was so familiar."
I shot an event a couple of years ago where they had a whole hour long play that largely used the narrator trope and it turned out pretty amazingly
It would've been funny if instead of being mauled by a rabid wolf the next day, it's revealed that there was a grizzly bear standing right behind her.
It wouldn’t have made sense, bc thats the full circle moment, it was bill having his time with a sheep that the wolf smelled sheep on her cooter and she got mauled to death, a full circle moment
2:55 the right thing to say was, "I'm only picturing it because you said so. Everyone else is picturing it too."
Never has 8 minutes felt shorter in my lifetime, thank you, i needed this
Joshua Situ or longer
3:50 "You know anything about that?" "Errr no" He did, but we'll get to that later. OMG!
Every line that the voice speaks draws the viewers of this western saga deeper into the narrative.
As the story deepens and the characters unfold, the viewers chuckle and smile, knowing that they will be helplessly enthralled by the end...
And the glowing arrows of their technological pointing devices will click the glowing blue 0:00 on their screens, just so that they can relive the humor and compelling western drama once more!
how does he know this
bet your the life and soul of the party
It's an AMAZING piece!!
Well .let's not get carried away 😅
idk man. COming back to this year after year and every time getting the same smile and laughter. One of the best things on youtube. Ever
Wtf how can anyone not like this, let alone 1300 people. I’ve seen this at least 5 times and it never fails to make me laugh. The direction, the acting and the timing of the jokes are on point.
Right! I seem to rewatch it every couple of months. 😂
Those people who dislike this video have had their own personal encounter with the narrator at one point in their life.
Ahhhh, back in the day when they showed the number of dislikes...oh the memories :)
While the sketch is funny, if you are not keen on below-the-belt-humor I can see why you wouldn't like it.
I swear - we need an app that says everything in the voice of Nick Offerman...
Wonder if does custom voicemail greetings, for a fee...??
Or Patrick Warburton
Sounded more like Rod Serling ...Twilight Zone
I would pay for this
"...And Elijah Jessup's sister."
"Welp, time for him to die"
Honestly that scene was golden.
I'm okey if you slept with any women except my sister.
8:19 i mean she could kill any wolf or bear thay comes after her the next day so she won't be maled
Yeah but have you ever heard the saying ''those who try to avoid their fate often meet it?''
@@annablaze4577 yes that's why I said deal with it when you have the ability to stop said fate other wise you'd die at least then you can stop it very easily as it's one wild or one regular like probably black bear not even a grizzly or polar bear all you need is a hunting riffle and to know when thier coming and you caght yourself a meal
@@hunterculpepper1973 *mauled also *caught
Or just stay inside
After all these years of re-watching this work of genius, I can only say, the best short film ever, in all aspects. Masterpiece.
I love that “Welp Sam has to die.”
Would have been perfect if it was a bear, instead of a wolf - considering the youngest henderson boy.
It is in some other(non-english) translations :)
This was entirely brilliant. Having Nick Offerman narrate was just the icing on the cake. So well done, thank you to everybody involved, you all did an amazing job!
I've seen this a gazillion times, and I still love it. Everything about it is perfect. Congratulations to the pre-production, production, and post-production team members. Time for a feature film!!!
I forgot the name of this video so i just searched "air talking to cowboys at bar" and it brought me here😂
Welldone RUclips
Mohammadreza Atashzar
Kkkkk me too !
Though, I have searched as “ western voice” and it came!!
Amazing
Same here. I searched for „Wild West narrator” and here I am.
and i search " the movie narrator wants to kill you"
I searched 'Bloodthirsty Narrator'.
“Narrator short old west” lol
Little did MAGNETFILM knew that they had nailed this one and every RUclips visitor, except those who had no sense of humor, would chuckle at this 8:49 minute silly and yet hilarious masterpiece!
This is one of the best shorts in shorts history... simply and purely, THE BEST! : )
I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve watched this. No it word for word. 🇦🇺🤠👍
same here
5:43 the way he says it slays me every time
LMAO
OMG! Can you imagine watching a full length feature western like this. People would walk out to keep from death by laughter. Very very well done. Thank you.
lol like using a gallon of Chanel No. 5
I watched this when it was first uploaded, it has been a long time and it is still as good as I remembered it to be!
Little did she know that she’ll be mauled to death by a bear that was hidden behind the stairs.
2:24. "Nope. No, it didn't."
I remembered this exists again. Such a good film, never fails to lift my spirits. The team behind it are geniuses.
Wish I found it earlier instead of today
May we PLEASE have more like this! Watching one of these is so much more satisfying than an hour and a half long movie waiting for people to just get to the point. And in this particular case no matter how many times I've watched this it still kills me 😂. Many thanks and much deserved love to the minds that made this real!
I can watch this over and over and no matter how many times I watch this, I still look insane laughing with my headphones in(the change in music when the gunman gave his speech was absolutely perfect)
"I see where you're going with this and I'm just gonna retract my disgust right now...." HAHAHAHA!! Man, I love this! Every time I see this I laugh just as hard as I did the first time!
Some of the best "lines" in this short are Sally's facial expressions!... LMAO!
This is cinema in the grand tradition. Perfect setting, perfect story, perfect acting, perfect photography. It's an entire story, it plays in a single room.
This is how you tell story.
"But the gunfighter decided he was okay with it"😂
Thanks?
Bro that one and the lets not get carried away not got me
4:37 was the most authentic western thing I’ve ever seen personally
the dialogues, the music, the cinematography and the story all just deserve much respect
Absolute brilliance. This mashup of genres legitimately knocked it out of the park and down the freeway.
Kudos to all involved in the production, especially the editor who took the finest ingredients and produced a cinematic experience that was all lean and no fat.
I wholeheartedly loved this, and would welcome a long form version of this story. Thank you for the upload! 👍🏾😎
I want to see the sequel. If there's not one, there needs to be. Great job. Best 8 minutes of my day.
They all died 🤷
a sequel? everyone is dead bro
The sequel is one scene, one minute long, of the itchy whore getting mauled by a rabid wolf.
"The wolf circled around itself a couple of times before settling down to digest Sarah's left thigh, without a smidge of awareness that it had just contracted the sheep clap from her. It peacefully dozed off to the sound of the ethereal voice it couldn't understand, but whose Swnansonian cadence it found deeply comforting. Little did it know that a bear would shred it to pieces five minutes later to snatch away the rest of Sarah's mortal remains, in a truly awesome ballet of apex predator death."
Glad there's not. It wasn't funny.
6:56 best part
This is one of the best short films I've ever seen
I keep coming back to this: great acting and directing. Hats off!
I cannot stop coming back to this when I need a laugh. Wonderful skit.
This video is criminally underrated
We'eell Fuck! Just STOP with the "underrated". Are you one of those guys that scours RUclips looking for places to post "underrated"? Because I can't seem to find an entertainment video anymore without someone posting it, without merit.
Said the unseen voice.
Said the oldest Henderson boy
*Criminally overrated
@@charlieross-BRM
Yep, and I can't find an underrated comment with out someone batching like a child about it.
"And I might be gay" *all cowboys screaming*
Hahaha Texas residents get their panties wadded.
I do not understand why this video doesn't have views in the millions. Absolutely outstanding.
I have to say, THIS is an 8 minute Masterpiece of film-making. The classics CAN be funny - Shakespeare, Voltaire, etc I want People to KNOW about this treasure!!!
The fact that you got Nick Offerman to narrate this just makes it great.
6:56 "Or a woman!!" "..well lets not get carried away but-" I CANTTT 😭😭
Eight minutes of pure entertainment, kept me focus and I enjoyed every second of it.
5:18 "Ok, you got me" LMAO
This is so well made and produced. The clothes and atmosphere is on POINT and perfect! I wish this was a whole complete film.
It IS a whole complete film. It's perfect because it's exactly the length the story requires; if it were blown up to feature length the director and scriptwriter would have to throw in extra not-quite-as-good material to provide that extra hour or two.
One of the greatest short films ever made.
This is what I imagine it would sound like if God narrated peoples lives.
Finally, the youtube algorithm produces a recommendation worth the time it took to watch it.
Give this short film an oscar already.
This was just a genius piece of work. I can honestly say this has been my favorite short film so far. The writer(s) of this film are nothing short of geniuses. But I'm pretty sure the narrator knew I was going to comment this.
This led me to searching short films, look up “I’m You Dickhead” it’s pretty damn funny.
Words fail me, that was one of the best 8 minutes I've spent watching anything!! Truly take a bow y'all earned it! 😆😅🤣 I can't recall seeing a short so perfectly breaking the, 4th wall. Hell I'm not sure quite what to call it...oh wait I know AWESOME!
This is brain candy. Pure gold. Brilliantly written. And perfectly casted and acted. They were all perfect. This is almost too perfect. Its hard to get all of it right. There is like 20 gems in this. Damn good stuff.
The "Back to the Future" kind of perfect, I daresay.
Hysterical!!!
Absolutely Stellar performance by all! The Narrator was superb! Highest kudos for writing and directing!
True professionals all!
This should be the standard for a new genre of Westerns and other Dark Comedy movies!
Please! Do more of these with different story lines!!! Like maybe something in a 1930s / 40s film noir, the 50s and America's new lifestyle and 50s comedy era ; ala Leave it to Beaver, Dennis the Menace....
The Donna Reed Show..... Please consider it!!!! 👍✌️😊
now i can't find anything to compare with this, guess i'll watch it again.
you can play the stanley parable
*also i just saw this is 2 years old so yeah... but nevermind
Stranger than fiction
Is this this one of your favorites? i have shared this with multiple friends.
Check out the channel "Omeleto" here on YT, they're where I first saw this short film and they've got tons of great ones like it. There are two time travel ones with very different premises on there that are amazing.
Buster Scrugs (probably way too late)
I watched it at least ten times and I just can't help laughing each time. This is really good. Awesome.
angelikgg me too
5:50 "OK I see where your going with this so I am gonna retract what I said" Suberb stuff! LoL
I died😂🤣🤣
Over the years, I've watch this film many times. It never gets old. 😂😂😂
This was the most enjoyable 8 minutes I’ve had in a long time. I would actually look forward to this being a regular series show
It's perfect as it is, why dilute it? If it were a series this would be the one perfect episode and the rest would be the good-to-just-ok episodes that were produced to fill out a season.
