5 Second Films (or 5SF) is a website run by a group of actors and writers that regularly produce short films. These short films last exactly five seconds (8 seconds, if you count the title card and 'The End'. But don't pay attention to that). The subject of said films are almost completely random, with only a few subjects and characters referenced more than once.Their website can be found here. In addition, they have a YouTube channel; useful, since it has some of their earlier videos that are no longer accessible on their main site.Not to be confused with Five Second Movies.
April Fools' Day: As an April Fool's prank in 2009, the team took out most of their preceding content and replaced it with an... interesting web animation called "Telekats".
Banana Peel: Subverted in "Paul Vs. Banana". Paul doesn't slip on the banana peel lying on the street, but instead gets hit by a car driven by a giant banana.
Dead Artists Are Better: Parodied and invoked in "Art Lover". A client asks a painter if his art has any value, and the replies replies "no". The client then kills the artist so the paintings' prizes will sky-rocket.
Fan Disservice: "The Pool Boy" starts off with a pool boy looking at a blonde girl in red massaging herself and licking her lips seductively at him. Then he takes off his glasses, revealing that he has no eyes.
The Board of Highly Scientific Review & Science, as you can no doubt imagine, went on to publish several papers based on Dr. Firenzi’s findings, the most prominent of which were titled “Zhoo! Zhoo! Zhoo! And the Neurotechnological Capabilities Therein” by Dr. Sandoval, and “Pew, Pew: A Rebuffing of Dr. Sandoval’s Hasty Assertions,” by Dr. Gunn. Dr. Firenzi himself disappeared from the eye of the medical world and has yet to resurface, after several long years.
Lame Pun Reaction: In "Meatball Sub", the subway train is literally a Meatball bread from Subway, the food chain. Michael Rouselet is appalled at the pun, and decides to leave.
"Thanks for calling 911, brought to you by Budweiser, the king of beers! And Emergency. And Hush Puppies. And-" * thud*
Psycho Shower Murder Parody: "The Early Bird Killer", in which the presumably eponymous serial killer comes to kill a girl in the shower. The twist is that she had already been killed by another serial killer, who is currently taking a shower in her place.
His brother, always one to try and copy Truck’s genius with wordplay, had his name legally changed to “Ama Pan,” but never found the chance to have his last name spoken first in any setting. Plus, he lost his Halen tape anyway.
Recurring Character: Johnny Quickdeath, Tony & Joey, Officer Sminkle, Elliot Zanderflex and Renegade Pervert. Maybe the Nesquik bunny. Also, the actors usually play themselves; Jon Worley has a recurring character in the form of himself as a sleazy/demonic advertiser, and Pauly P is the name of a non-sequitur-happy tragic gangsta guy.
Shark Man: In Keeping You Safe, a group of friends are attacked by a pack of hyperintelligent shark people. They are saved by Tom Watson, MP for West Bromwich East.
"Hi, I'm Hipster Superman. You probably haven't heard of me, I'm pretty obscure."
And then there's Everyday Dubstep, which features Paul being cursed by a hipster Sadako. "Before you die, you see the empty scenester hype."
Week 151 is "5 Second Films: Special Edition", where the team has taken pot shot after pot shot at George Lucas and his "improvements" of the original Star Wars trilogy, either adding in needless Conspicuous CGI to classic videos, bowlderizing some of the more vulgar ones, or editing them in ways that are Completely Missing the Point and ruining the original joke. For anybody who didn't get the joke with Brian looking like George Lucas, sitting in his director's seat the whole time in front of nothing but green screens, and having a constant cup of coffee in his hand, along with a Suspiciously Similar Song version of the Star Wars opening playing after each video, in the last one they used footage and sound clips from Episode III (Darth Vader's NO! scene)
The description of The Popular Girl's Graduation Speech explains that, despite the popular girl managing to rise above her teenage pregnancy to a six-figure job, her baby grew up to be a hateful piece of shit, because her mom wouldn't stop listening to late-period Bon Jovi.
You Look Familiar: They have only a few actors, but man are they diverse!
You Monster!: In "Lemons", a sentient lemon accidentally kills another lemon. He decides to process the carcas as lemon juice. This trope is the response he gets from the horrified neighbors when the cops arrest him.
