This main guy is a mix of Jimmy Fallon and Robert Downey Jr.

Moral Lesson: ALWAYS take the stairs.

Honestly when he exited the first elevator I thought we were going to hear a bunch of screams from the elevator falling. 😂😂😂😂

This is great to watch at a time like this with coronu

i cant believe he pulled out the calculator... im too done

Love that first shot of him pulling out the calculator--that's where I started laughing.

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!

Completely forgot that Swine Flu was the big epidemic back in 2010. Who knew the algorithm understood dark humour.

He should've be like:" Well guess that's were i'm going too now."

this is a stand up, pure comedy without words just plain movement and reality. loving it. you're a genius.

Anyone else watching this during the quarantine and feeling it’s too real!? Lmao

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 ...

There's a crazy guy with a machete in the stairwell.

Thanks cause now we gotta do google classroom on this film 😐😤😭

April 3, 2020. Relevant AF.

Working at an office on the ninth floor, this film was right on target. I'm still smiling from your presentation.Well done.

The comedy points in this film were absolutely genius. Don't stop making films!

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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Finally I found a not depressive suicidal short movie, it just gets annoying even if they're great

half these comments say take the stairs but how often do you actually take the stairs?

The main actor is quite good.

Whatching it in Coronao time hits different..

That is the face of, "I guess this is my life, now."

Whoever watching this in 2020 knows that level 7 was still fine.

Great short film! I always love seeing what KZfaq had to offer in the early years... I miss it. Freaking LOVE the calculator. He knew what he had to do lol.

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 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.

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 couldn't stop laughing when someone sneezed on his hair. Thanks for movie .

So funny! Just when he thought he was out of danger.... Thanks for sharing.

😂😂😂 As the saying goes " Out of the frying pan into the fire"

great job, and so funny, love the acting and the way everything is put together!

The two-note inspired Jaws theme was a... stroke of genius, lol :) Great work, thanks!

I couldn’t stop laughing ever since he pulled the calculator out!

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.

i thought the second one would fall

When he started doing calculations! 🤣

Brilliant! Can't wait to see his "Road Dog"

Maybe there is an obesity treatment center on the left.

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

That has to be the Jones BBQ Foot Massage dude

1:18 I started dying lol. I do this EVERY TIME I get in an elevator. I count in my head tho lol

LMFAO I LOVE THIS. "Swine Flu Treatment Center" I'M DEAD

He jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. Still recommending after all these years. 😂

This is the best short film I have ever seen Laughed too hard when he pulled out that calculator

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??😂

After watching this... I’m still going to avoid the stairs

Amen to stairs. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend. 🙏

This film was portrayed as exact situation. Excellent👍

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

Another lovely one! I really enjoy Chris as an actor; he has the perfect face!

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.

This made me laugh pretty hard. I love it!

Screw this I'm takin the stairs from now on.

It's the keyboard for me 🤣

I am glad that people can make films and laugh together. Mankind is the only species I've known to do it.

On the next floor people got in the elevator returning from the building cafeteria. Todays special: hot chili and bean burritos!

Got the damn tune stuck in my head lol

Never seen this, just got into my reccomendations, it hits home man... it hits home...

Genius! I hooted with laughter!

LOL! Absolutely hilarious! Brilliant work, Greg! Your expressions are priceless. :)

3:04 the girl on the left, LMAO🤣🤣🤣

LOL!!!!! Out of the frying pan and into the fire!!! Excellent!!!

He escaped the rain, by running into the storm

2:12 OH LAWWWD HE COMING

What did one elevator say to the other elevator? I think I'm coming down with something.

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.

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😷

Brilliant!!

I love how that guy accurately guesses the weight of those people

LOL! I cringed when everyone started coughing and died when the sign was revealed. Great job!

Excellent little movie!

this is very well done

When that fat red guy started walking, LOOOL

I lost it on the "JAWS" Sound

Stairs! The healthy choice 😜

moral of the story: take the stairs

Loved this! Great concept.

LOL. Hilarious. Bravo. Never has the number 2001 made me laugh so hard!

The comedy is on point. Well presented movie.

So stairs is best :) his smile at 2:42 is great!

Usually not a big fan of shorts, but this one was great :) Well done.

Love the music...great video. No need for a script. Outstanding. 2022 looking good.

Rest assured that there is no way to pack enough humans into an elevator to make it fail. They are built that way.

You notice how everyone getting on the elevator are plus size peoples. He constantly getting push further in the back. LOL......

next time, take the stairs!!!😋

“Kids, what did we learn today?” 🤣

I'm still laughing, and so needed a good one today

and the moral to the story is... lol

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.

eeek...hits differently watching in In the Time of Corona.

O man I died laughing 😂. Needed this. Good video.👌🏽

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! :)

Any thing one is afraid of, will show up in one's life

Good film...life is not easy

Ha! That's a good one! One never knows what leads to our choices do they?

Quite real for anyone who ever worked in an Office Tower. I've been on an elevator where an incredibly obese couple got on with a few less folk than the max allowable & the elevator actually shook until near 1/2 the other people got off, whom I suspected did so out of fear. Also, haven't been sick with the flu at all since no longer working in an Office. Astounding how many A holes feel the need to share their disease as though revenge on the rest of us because they got sick, open mouth coughing in an enclosed space etc.
