- A lonely man risks his life for a chance at human connection.
DATE NITE is used with permission from J.J. Shpall. Learn more at imdb.com/title/tt10983384.
Jon lives in a world where physical intimacy of any sort can lead to grotesque physical transformation, thanks to a virus that hijacks romantic desire.
But amidst this world, Jon is lonely and decides to risk his life for human connection, especially when he meets Maya, the only match he's made on his dating app. But things with Maya start to go wrong even before they officially meet, as the virus starts to wreak havoc on Jon's body.
This dystopian sci-fi romance -- directed by J.J. Shpall and written by Shpall and Eric Brewster -- takes a hypothetical question as a jumping point: what if there was a world where romantic love just couldn't exist? And is love worth the pain and agony it can spark within us when it doesn't work?
From there, the narrative travels to unexpected, unusual places, as it explores the fears and longings humans experience when it comes to the search for romantic connection. The tone is both quirky and melancholic, a mix also encapsulated by its visual approach, which is shadowy, yet with an antiseptic sheen that marks many modern sci-fi films. There is a studied distance in the visual compositions of the film, emphasizing a world where people keep one another at arms' length.
The storytelling builds a somber world grounded in dystopian vision, yet within this frame, characters still awkwardly bumble, freak out and overthink as they put themselves on the line for love. The collision of these emotions with this eccentrically conceived world is both ironically funny and thought-provoking, but the film has a steadiness that keeps the focus on human emotions and keeps it from veering into farce.
Many viewers will recognize much of the short's excellent cast, from SILICON VALLEY actor Josh Brener to Lauren Lapkus (from ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK) to even Larry Hankin (known to many FRIENDS fans as the downstairs neighbor Mr. Heckles). Collectively they're able to achieve a detached understatement in their performances that suits the film's tone, but they keep their pulse always on the genuine emotions of longing and loneliness that fuel the characters' arcs. All of these feelings keep the film emotionally grounded, and endow it with poignancy and resonance, especially as Jon finally goes on his much-longed-for date and achieves a connection -- though not quite in the way he expected.
DATE NITE was conceived of and made before Covid-19, but its release uncannily echoes the anxieties around physical contact, as well as the diffuse yet pervasive loneliness that happens with prolonged isolation. As a result, it may just be the first romantic comedy in the era of social distancing, and a line of dialogue like "You are not alone in your aloneness" can't help but take on new meaning.
But even before these times, DATE NITE captures the growing emotional distance between people and within themselves, whether it's via the perfunctoriness of a job or a certain flatness in connecting over an app instead of real life. In this gaping, arid space, it's easy for us to build expectations and ideas, only for real life to puncture them with imperfection. The only remedy may be a willingness to be brave about our vulnerabilities and longings, even just to ourselves. In risking our hearts for love and connection, we may go out on a limb (and even lose it) -- but we may gain the only thing that bridges the distance. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

Who else clicked because they recognized the actress in the thumbnail?
I recognize her from the wrong missy, TBBT and OITNB
I recognised her from the Key and Peele devil child sketch.
@@josephprince3111 sameee lol
I recognise her from Lucifer, she was Abel 😆
She is fantastic! Loved her in the wrong Missy. 👍
Omeleto is the new Netflix
And free
Yeah
@@Richjoker96 True but I'd still recommend Netflix
If this ain’t facts
It looks like an episode on black mirror
I liked this little short. I know its a bit on the nose with its metaphor, but I think it works. The society in the short cannot have romantic connections without people becoming damaged, so they take a suppressant. Some people can't take the loneliness in the safety and risk everything for human connection. Its pretty telling how valuable it is when he doesn't seem to regret what he lost.
Covid 19.
Crazy eh. Is it that we are all a little broken in some way looking for perfection or someone to make us whole. This was quite profound
i didnt understand the metaphor until i read this comment Dx
@K LaCoste
Too soon! Too soon.
Beautifully articulated
On behalf of tall girls everywhere I appreciate that he’s shorter then her and they don’t even reference it.
Same here! Takes me forever to find anything like this beyond Power Rangers.
I know tens of couples where the girl is taller and that includes my parents but I don't find it suitable for me to be with a girl where I can't have her under my wing or look down to her eyes. I think it would limit the interaction level, but many people make it work.
i am super short but this is not the first time i can appreciate that these movies don't necessarely care for a beauty strict standard. humanity comes in all shapes, colors and kinds and they all fall in love and deserve love and can be the hero of a story, but media keep showing a narrow part of it as if all people should be like this or feel bad if they are not.
yeah but you did..who's the one with the hang up about it really?
Sick of short dudes, so its something to recognize.
I love that his boss advised him not to go on the date but when he does anyway she seems jealous. Kind of reminds me of people who tell you not to follow your dreams but admire famous celebrities and actually wish they had taken a chance...
❤
True that
That's literally the saddest meal I've ever seen--
It's a typical cheap TV dinner
I ate one of those the other day :c
my mom made me eat those before because i was too lazy to make my own food to eat and ngl it tasted good--
Might as well change the hyena to hyphen considering how much i can already presume you use it from that sentence alone
That Hyena literally? As oppose to what, Metaphorically?
"Im in love with the idea of us loving each other "
Me to.
So, when you give yourself to someone, you loose part of yourself. The longer you're together, the less of you is left. And when that person leaves you for someone else (which they tend to do) you find you've lost the person you once were. Being alone doesn't mean you have to be lonely.
What you said...
Totally missed the point!!!
Your point is quite profound for a lot of people.
@BeeBaBird So the trinitarians created a son and holy ghost.
@BeeBaBird An imaginary friend that is really three in one ? ...that insanity with schizophrenia on the side !
It's a lot lonelier when one is with the wrong company.
Or the wrong Missy…….
The male actor was a Chief Innovation Officer at a major tech corporation until he became a Computer Science professor and finally the President of Stamford University. Glad to see he's doing well as an actor now.
The president of stanford what?
Whut!?
And his name is "Big Head", Head of Nucleus department at Hooli Tech.
What! really???
Wow
Isn't it funny sometimes,how we tend to be hypocrites , we advice other people and yet we can't even do half of those.😣
Yeah 😢😢
Yea-
This short is debating whether “It’s better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all”
You my friend are a genius
Extroverts be like 😱
Introverts be like 😏
You got it 💚💛💖💜❤
It;s better to have loved and lost than to not have loved "A Tall" in this case 😁
@@ellamone9998 OP for this thread was brilliant, and you are hilarious !!
When he grabbed the saw I thought “well he lost his mind”
I thought "3... 2... 1... BOTH ARMS DROP".
I thought for a second he was going to chop the other leg off .
Funny her name is "Maya" which means love in Nepali (my language). ❤️
Here tooo

She's the girl from Netflix's " Wrong Missy" right? She was hilarious there
Wasn’t she also briefly on OITNB, or have I not watched the entire video?
SparksFly yes , yes she was
Yupp, I loved her in that movie🤣
Yeah? How about the old man? He was an actor in Breaking Bad lmao.
he was on something too, i dont know if this was all but what a women wants, he was the assistant, it just came to me, hope he was, lol.
Shes an amazing actress in this and "wrong missy"
She carried that entire movie!
Yes indeed
OMG yesss! She killed me in that movie. BTW I'm still dead 😂
and OITNB
@@FilmBuffBros I agree 100%
Love will cost you an arm or a leg, but it's worth it.
Or your hair by looks of it .
@@gemstar7286 Especially if you stay in love long enough. I've been married 25 years and my hairline is receding. Haha.
6:27 everyone who feels lonely right now (me included) need to remember this line. We’re all fighting the same battle against loneliness, and a lot of the people around you are in the same boat as you. You have comrades even if you don’t know it.
*We would like to know more about Monica's story*
Sara Fa i think like to everyone something from their body falls off so I think Monica’s skin fell off omfg
He's not alone: he has a loving animal companion. The human-animal connection is seen as a second-rate substitute, but animals don't let you down or disappoint you the way humans do. There's none of the ambivalence present in even the happiest relationship. They can't talk, but that's not always a negative--they communicate in other ways.
Appreciate that cat.
Yeah but sooner or later we will all crave another person's companionships. We will eventually want to have meaningful relationship with a person that can understand our feelings.
But if dating is this risky, well yeah I understand just sticking with cats and dogs too lmao.
You actually believe a pet gives a damn about you?
A dog is just a predatory pack animal, stray packs of dogs in India attack their 'fellow' humans on a daily basis.
Thousands of biting incidents reported, even more remain unreported, single owners who die in their house get eaten face up by their dog etc.
I can keep going on.
A dog might seem to care a bit about their owner, why?, because you provide it with food. It sees you as it's pack leader, nothing more. 'Trained dogs' are trained with food, nothing special about it.
According to studies pigs are about 3 times as smart as dogs, which definitely doesn't come as a surprise. The behavior of a dog is all but intelligent. It's purely based on instincts. That's why they pee in the same spots as other dogs, eat feces grabbed out of the litter box of cats, bark incessantly at nothing or things they see on a daily basis, attack their owners (pack leaders) themselves, attack children that are playing on the street, ...
Bring up the oxytocin myth all you want, that 1 single neurotransmitter, keep on mind oxytocin gets released when firing a gun as well...
Only humans can be people.
I'm vegan and even I don't buy into this pet crap. I see these beings for what they are.
Pets do more harm then good.
And if it stays with rabbits, goldfish, guppies, parakeets, parrots, turtles or something, ok.
But the harm dogs, and even cats, cause to innocent humans & the environment (dog ownership is responsible for a fourth as much greenhouse gas emissions as all traffic worldwide combined, also numerous species die because of dogs, especially the situation in South America is staggering to think about)
is unagreeable.
That is, if you life in reality at least.
Not an Omeleto based fantasy world where an inbred grey wolf or a feline is 'man's best friend'.
The cortex regions of our brains are so complexly adapted, not even other great apes come close enough.
There is no animal on Earth that can replace a human being. We need our own kind.
Maybe some people are the exception but I'm almost certain +95% of all human beings need other human beings at some times in their existence, in order to be able to be healthy.
@@kjell159 sounds like you had a bad experience goodnight.
Yeah the cat only wants food. Give it to another owner and the cat wont mind as long as it gets food.
Pets give unconditional love, they’re not materialistic & won’t betray u they’re loyal. They know when ur sad & are always there for cuddles & love. 💜

Mr Heckles lol
he is in BrBa also, he's the guy who makes vehicles disappear
I love the "F***ing ONE LEGGED LEGEND"
She's the girl from The Big Bang Theory! Her character dated Stuart 🙂
She was also a prison guard in Orange is the New Black.
Her name was Denise in The Big Bang Theory
ohhhhhhhhh I been Wondering who she was
So apparently no one watched The Last Man On Earth?
In love, we give up a part of ourselves. It hurts, his smile at the end was proof that even with the pain. It was worth it.
I swear some of Omeletos short films should be on Netflix.
No, no, no !! They are perfect right here !!!!
I swear some of Netflix 's films should be on Omeleto.
they should all be on TH-cam, free
This actress is slowly coming into everyone's mind. She was on OITNB, Wrong Missy, and she also looks like Chelsea Peretti.
B9999999
In orange is the new black as security guard and in Lucifer as cain brother
I loved wrong missy!!! When she was in the hotel room and was yelling “I made it!” I freaking died of laughter 😂
And big bang theory
And good girls
you re not alone in your aloneness:))
I think it means you’re not the only one that feels alone.... so technically you’re not alone ❤️
On this topic, I often remember two lines from Billie Joel's song "Piano Man":
"Yes, they're sharing a drink they call 'loneliness'
But it's better than drinking alone..."
There is a difference between being lonely and alone.
He reminds me of Toby maguire for some reason
And Steve Carrell
So...did Monika's facial skin spontaneously combust...?
It is true, when you single that long there will be too much anxiety to handle just to meet with someone. And the idea of perfect relationship will destroy the real connection
Try the "indifference towards outcome" approach. It takes the pressure off, and you will meet more people.
I was 51 when I met my first girlfriend; she is still so far the only girlfriend I've had. The only thing I learned is not to trust anything that comes out of the mouth of any woman that says she loves me. And no; the only anxiety I felt was the being torn between giving her my number when we first met and not doing so. I wish I hadn't; I'd got used to being alone and single.
@@johnbower7452 I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're open to finding a good therapist. It's not a quick-fix, but can be very helpful.
@@johnbower7452 wow sorry to hear that, but don't let it deter you , there are many good people who could careless about all first date pretense and actually are honest from the get go, now your radar is high and you spot all that liars a mile away
@@Newgrist thanks for the suggestion. I just browse what it meant. I guess the key is continuation of readjustment, start over and let it go and just be relax of the result.
You really do leave a piece of yourself with every relationship you make. Still, living without a relationship at all is not living at all. Risking everything you are to finally be alive...sounds like a sacrifice worth making. Great video.
Like your comment...I know the feeling.
You don't know what is life and what is living if you thing that relationship defines it. To some extent you are correct, because human animals are divided into male and female but it is not everything, be-all, end-all.
Some people like solitude. Some can have relationship and still feel lonely or empty inside. Anyway, life is crap, be it poor or rich. But rich at least can afford to live life on easy mode and they die like everyone else.
@@303machine
A life lived alone is not a life. We are defined and enriched by the relationships we have with each other and the world around us. That's just how it is.
You can like solitude, sure. You still need others to truly live, however - solitude is broken all the time. We rely on each other. I'm not just talking about romantic relationships either.
Very original story, does it may mean that when you are in love you lose a part of yourself? On the contrary I think you win, this short has a lot to think of: risk, love, lost, emotions, bravo 👋👋👋👋❤️
he wasn't in love. it happened before even meeting her
I was so lost when out of nowhere he lost his leg lol
Same lol
The funniest one! “You’re so beautiful, your hair, your eyes” and then she is losing half of her beauty. He dreams about running and the he loses his leg. Ironical and futile but definitely funny. Fear is a terrible thing
Watching omeleto videos before the comments section gets populous is both a blessing & a curse.
I’d settle for a life with his gorgeous cat, it’s beautiful 😍
The truth is we all risk our lives to find human connection, because you run into many crazy people before you find the right one. It's just part of the risks of finding love.
i really like what you said. hopefully ill find the right one too. already met lots of wrong ones 😂
So how do you know if that person is the one? =)
Yes ,well said.
goood that physics doesnt allow this
This is brilliant, a story told on so many levels, have to see this more than once to fully get the nuances, well played!
Is it bad that I started crying within the first 1 minute
Yes
Yes it is 😅😅
Yes
I mean... Are you okay? In general
You okay? Ypu lonely? It's ok 《big hugs》
Julia Connell I’m ok, it’s just I can relate so much to that sense of an empty life that seems to arise from a lack of friends or a partner.
I recently found this channel and I’ve been obsessed since. These videos are just so unique and different and i love it
I wholeheartedly agree with you, Jen.
Dating apps these days...they cost an arm and a leg! Badabing ayyy!!
1:35 when you're so introverted that even your cat's company is too much.. that cat is great! very cat-like to have no regard for personal space.
Anna 517 that was such a funny comment .how can a cat know that you want to be left alone?😂
Its Lauren Lapkus? What an icon
Now I guess I have to watch “The wrong Missy”
THE CAT! I'm in love 😭
Is that lift guy Mr. Heckles from f.r.i.e.n.d.s.?!
It sure is!!!
Actually, it’s Larry Hankin from Seinfeld, Malcom in the Middle, as well as “Breaking Bad” (in several episodes). AND I just found out that he’s also Mr. Heckles. Turns out he’s quite old and has been in a LOT of TV, films, and theatre. Multi-talented guy. Born in 1937, which explains quite a bit.
this is the earliest I've ever been
It's been a second and there's already 1 dislike????
There always seem to be that group of people that subscribe to channels just to get notifications so they can dislike them. I see that a lot, ridiculous.
@Rob C - Yeah, I'm not a fan of the negative crowd.
Why would anyone do that for a channel that puts in so much effort into videos like this one
@@steamywalnut6300 - Because they are... TH-cam prohibits freedom of speech now so I'll politely say "not nice people" instead of saying that they are horrible people knows as assh*les.
@@steamywalnut6300 - Sorry for the language but I would have said more but TH-cam keeps banning me from saying too much. Not about swear words, but because I live in the States and 'share' too much against CNN and Democrats. Democrats own Google, who owns TH-cam, so they don't like that.
*Anyway....
Fantastic quality. The acting, the script, the settings. Thanks Omeleto!!
If only i could find a one legged man to love me
Omg his cat is so cute
He took a chance at romance, knowing it could hurt him.
That cat is adorable (❁´◡`❁)
@Rob C all cats r beautiful
Rob C everyone has a type
Thats torture to the cat.. Its like stand outside butt naked with just a hat on..
@MK25 then they shaved it...yikes! Dangerous job!
@@staceykersting705 They did a horrible job shaving that cat! You can see the lines. Only shave a cat if infested with fleas and/or ticks or matted badly. This was probably unnecessary 🤨
"Your just in love with the idea of me...you don't even know me" .. :)
Loved this!! Great cast!!! Thanks for sharing!
Without human connection we are not human.
EXCEPT MY LEG IS GONE!
Big head lost his leg? Not his head? Really? It was right there in his name man. Comeon 😂
I scrolled way too far just to see this comment
I didn't got the message behind this 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
May be its about paying a price for being loved.
The moment the lady asks "how was it?" , the main character turns back and you can see his face/smile saying that it's the best thing he has ever lived, and that losing a leg is 100% worth it.
The message is basically "take the risk, it IS worth it", except that we're not gonna lose our hair nor a leg by trying :)
The Message is rather simple i think: commit to a relationship ergo open up to another person and poooofff instantly you become vulnerable - in this short quite literally ;-)
You have to give up one thing to be in relationship. And don't look for a perfect one, lol
5:02 hahahahh "You wanna end up like monica? hahahha "
TV dinners never look that good lol
this is me...except no date and with no happy ending
When she asks what it was like at the end. Wow. This was a wonderful one
Losing limbs for the chance of love?! That's insane!
Shows how desperate they are in this alternate world .Plus it seems the fact love and romance is forbidden in this world, it just makes people want it more ..no matter what the consequences are.
14:54 The best scene because it shows everyone's in it together... even the 'superior' wants to gain the experience of the person under her wing. Great film, well done! :)
No man, or woman is an island. We're very social animals, We don't function well, we become dysfunctional to some degree without emotional, intellectual,and physical interaction with other humans.
To a great extent, we need one another.
✌️💙🇺🇲
"You're not alone in your aloneness."
Never turn down an animal. The cat needs love too.
Omg she's such a great actress comedian!! I love her!!!❤😁
The problem here is those frozen TV dinners. Like fast foods, it is not real food. The worst date is better than no date at all.
His nose started bleeding like in a anime 🤣
One of the best ones yet.
Love does this to me mentally. Feels the same. I still give them a chance knowing the consequences.
She looks like she's related to Chelsea Peretti
Mr Heckles!! It's been so long since you've meddled with other people's business. It's good to see you haven't changed :D.
That song was decisive- I hung in there with this!
Wow that cat 😍
And when he tells the cat I need to be alone right now...😓
The trombone sound effect was a gut punch!
Great storytelling and acting. Gave us a chance to fill in the blanks. Thought provocative short. Wow! Love to see more from this team.
This was Stuart if he didn’t own a comic store.
Lmaoo
I havent finished watching the entire thing but the guy having no leg completely threw me off it all made sense up until my mans leg dissapeared😂😂
That girl is one funny lady...
I really enjoyed her work on good morning tonight.
This is really nice thanks Lauren, gang...
That's actually a pretty good looking TV dinner.
Wow.. just wow... Perfectly describes the human nature and need ... Also, feels futuristic. Let's not let this happen for real though 😂😂
That is the cutest cat I have ever seen.
Wtf I love this I need so much more. Why is the world like this and how do they fix it? How do they overcome a world without human connection??
the beginning reminds me of dating in the covid era, with the immuno app on your phone...
As soon as I saw him pick up the saw, I legit thought this was going to be some innocent Grindhouse version
3:45 that's MR hickles from F.R.I.E.N.D.S LMAO
If this was possible half the world would be mere torsos!!! Lol realy good and excellently acted to the point that it did'nt seem too ridiculous!!
I find myself saying “Hmm..Interesting” at the end of most of these. 😂😂
I don’t know why I related this with the whole social distancing pandemic thing :c
The moral of the story is that they don't want you to be in a relationship because there a chance you'll become hurt and never be able to recover from it
So quirky and fun! They had some serious courage. But I sure did think she was going to discover his mess from fixing his leg.
how did no one recognize the guy that played the janitor as the guy from breaking bad that destroys the van for walt
Exactly! He is Larry Hankin, and he’s been in dozens of shows, tv, film, and theatre. Born in 1937.
By the look on his face it was amazing☺
Cool,quirky funny film...like it...thanks Allen..you never disappoint..👍👍👍🎞🎞📽📽📽
