I understand now what old people meant when they say that the comedy they watched back in the day is way better than it is nowadays.
This short film from Kuri Yoji is a work of art. Subverting expectations is all that this short film does, and it does it in the absolute best ways possible. Every single bit is filled with unimaginable twists and immaculate comedy that leave you bursting out in laughter. This short film only contains 9 minutes and 35 seconds of content, but it's some of the best 9 minutes and 35 seconds I've ever spent in my life. Any expectations that you will have going into this will be completely flipped on its head. Every second spent watching this is filled with anticipation and suspense as you wait for the twist, and the punchline hits extremely hard every time. Even…

Au Fou is a short movie that surpassed my expectations in ways that it was definitely not intended to.
Even though it is missing a comedy tag, it definitely deserves it because I was crying laughing watching this all the way through.
Some of these "skits" have the most insane plot twist I have ever seen, adding onto the comedic genius that this show encapsulates.
Although the scenes are quite random and don't tell a story altogether, they stand alone as pure masterpieces of amusing comedy.
Give it a watch, even if you don't like it, its only 10 minutes long. Maybe you will like it just as much as I did.

Au Fou is an old Japanese short film that elevates what one may consider as a "waste of time" to an uninterrupted 9 minutes and 35 seconds of straight cinema - viewing experience.
This short film represents an interpretation of the aspect of life from its creators. The stories represented within this small time window of 9 minutes are able to elevate one's viewing experience and aspect of life. It's appropriate enough to call this eye-opening. From the pauses within the beginning of the scenes, to the climax of the action, everything holds it's meaning, and everything hits deep at heart.
And that's not all! This short film also upholds an aspect of comedy. Ranging from it's hilarious and unexpected scenes, to jaw-dropping / eye-opening frames, this anime has something that everyone will…

Absolute cinema.
Every short made me and my friends laugh just because of how absurd it is, everything is just perfect about this. The fact that this was made almost 60 years ago and still makes us laugh as hard as we did to this day proves this really does stand the test of time. Some of the imagery used is not up to today's beliefs and standards but it is given the benefit of the doubt due to when it was made. All 9 minutes were just so funny and I can't explain how this can get any better. People might not get it but it is a pure masterpiece.

Well, if you want to watch a collection of cheap looking static images of poorly drawn characters getting killed or killing themselves for 13 minutes, then this is the film for you.
On top of the poorly done art, it's accompanied by a tepid, uninteresting score... and poor quality sound effects. The soundtrack isn't horrible, but it also doesn't stand out much at all, and I wouldn't necessarily call it good, either.
Also, before anything happens in any of the shorts, there's a long, drawn out period of music playing over a single static image, and while these moments were obviously intended to build up to the final moment each time, it really just made the whole thing feel slowly paced and ended up just feeling very boring all around.

Another classic from the mind of LSD addicted director Yoji Kuri, watch and be amazed as this 1960's colored pencil animation shows random characters dying in random ways ranging from being run over by boats to smelling their own farts, and capping it off with some nude pictures of Asian models that are at least well into their 80's now.
