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.
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
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 ...
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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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 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...
Great short film! I always love seeing what TH-cam had to offer in the early years... I miss it. Freaking LOVE the calculator. He knew what he had to do lol.
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!
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
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 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.
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.
THAT was good! I've been looking for a long while at other videos for inspiration for a series that I'm doing that kind of has some subtle humor in it, but nothing NEAR the calibur of this film.. Very good stuff, guys. Keep it up! :)
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
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.
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 😄😃😀🤣

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.
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?
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
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.
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,
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 😢
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.
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
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.

Good comment, well worded.
Thanks cause now we gotta do google classroom on this film 😐😤😭
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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Working at an office on the ninth floor, this film was right on target. I'm still smiling from your presentation.Well done.
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.

Same here - PURE genius.
The comedy points in this film were absolutely genius. Don't stop making films!
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...
That is the face of, "I guess this is my life, now."
I couldn’t stop laughing ever since he pulled the calculator out!
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
The main actor is quite good.
Great short film! I always love seeing what TH-cam had to offer in the early years... I miss it. Freaking LOVE the calculator. He knew what he had to do lol.

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.
i thought the second one would fall
Same
This is the best short film I have ever seen
Laughed too hard when he pulled out that calculator
my dude went through the five stages of grief in this

@@rasheedbengdon8163 That's my suspicion too, since basically humans are water so it should weigh about the same as an equal volume of water.
😂😂😂 As the saying goes " Out of the frying pan into the fire"
So funny! Just when he thought he was out of danger.... Thanks for sharing.
1:18 I started dying lol. I do this EVERY TIME I get in an elevator. I count in my head tho lol
great job, and so funny, love the acting and the way everything is put together!
LMFAO I LOVE THIS. "Swine Flu Treatment Center" I'M DEAD
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??😂
April 3, 2020. Relevant AF.
Ya ya
this is very well done
Thanks!
The two-note inspired Jaws theme was a... stroke of genius, lol :)
Great work, thanks!
I couldn't stop laughing when someone sneezed on his hair. Thanks for movie .
I love how that guy accurately guesses the weight of those people
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

Lol!
Lol, I had to walk down 16 floors because of that. I thought the same way.
When he started doing calculations! 🤣

After watching this... I’m still going to avoid the stairs
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
That has to be the Jones BBQ Foot Massage dude
I am glad that people can make films and laugh together. Mankind is the only species I've known to do it.
This film was portrayed as exact situation. Excellent👍
LOL! Absolutely hilarious! Brilliant work, Greg! Your expressions are priceless. :)
moral of the story: take the stairs
kcirred htims moral of the story don't put a bunch of fat people in a elevator
He jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.
Still recommending after all these years. 😂
LOL! I cringed when everyone started coughing and died when the sign was revealed. Great job!
Excellent! Without spoiling anything, I've done what he did (without a calculator) on several elevator rides. Very funny!
this was hilarious LOL definitely enjoyed watching

*lol*
@@blueflowerfilms5933You can´t be serious that he can´t be serious...
Brilliant! Can't wait to see his "Road Dog"
Screw this I'm takin the stairs from now on.
This made me laugh pretty hard. I love it!
Genius! I hooted with laughter!
Another lovely one! I really enjoy Chris as an actor; he has the perfect face!
On the next floor people got in the elevator returning from the building cafeteria. Todays special: hot chili and bean burritos!
He escaped the rain, by running into the storm
Never seen this, just got into my reccomendations, it hits home man... it hits home...
“Kids, what did we learn today?” 🤣
Whatching it in Coronao time hits different..
Loved this! Great concept.
LOL. Hilarious. Bravo. Never has the number 2001 made me laugh so hard!
I'm still laughing, and so needed a good one today
Usually not a big fan of shorts, but this one was great :) Well done.
Svitlanaa Thank you!
shota ko si ccm
Brilliant!!
LOL!!!!! Out of the frying pan and into the fire!!! Excellent!!!
Laughed all the way through it!
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
Got the damn tune stuck in my head lol
same
Amen to stairs. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend. 🙏
this should be award winning short
I agree.
check this out. What you think? Scary? or not? th-cam.com/video/tHHwGzaKwFM/w-d-xo.html
When that fat red guy started walking, LOOOL
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
Excellent little movie!
Too funny! Just what I needed!
2:12 OH LAWWWD HE COMING
3:04 the girl on the left, LMAO🤣🤣🤣
Seriously, that was pretty masterful.
The comedy is on point. Well presented movie.
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.
Moral: When something like that happens, just think that it is not a good day for you.
O man I died laughing 😂. Needed this. Good video.👌🏽

Great Blog! Thanks for sharing this one!!!!!
When he pulled out the calculator... Lmao!!! This was a good 1.
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.
why did i get this in school
Oh god, the slow-mo sneeze on the back of the head really got to me
That's me in the elevators I'm so scared of them
