History Film / SevenDaysInHell

''7 Days in Hell'' is a 2015 Creator/{{HBO}} comedy Mockumentary starring Creator/AndySamberg and Creating/KitHarington as Aaron Williams and Charles Poole, two tennis players locked in the longest tennis match of all time, unable to score a match point.

* BritishStuffiness: A major reason why Williams is able to get away with an incredible amount of athletic misconduct, from taking drugs laced over the court to ''having sex on the court,'' is because the English hosts consider pointing such things out to be "rude."

** The windy talking-head interviews describing the tennis match as "two men locked in eternal flames" and of course the title. Of course, it actually ''manages'' to become such, considering the Queen of England himself demanded Poole win and the game lasted for 7 days [[spoiler: before they both died.]]

* FunctionalAddict: {{Exaggerated}}. Aaron Williams regains his tennis mojo to challenge Charles ''because'' of an absurd amount of cocaine, which he placed on the court and rather obviously snorted during the match.

* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: Aaron interrupts his fourth day of play to have sex with a female streaker, and then has sex with a male streaker, and then has sex with both streakers after making the two kiss...

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Williams's bad-boy persona and giant mullet are obviously modeled on Andre Agassi.

* [[DarkHorseVictory Dark Horse Near-Victory]]: Aaron Williams was hardly in a shape to compete for the Wimbledon. However, a judge allowed him to join because he believed it would be amusing to let his fellow Englishman Poole trash such an unpopular, unpracticed competitor, and of course, Williams managed to make it to the final match against Poole [[spoiler: which neither of them won, due to their death]].

* FunctionalAddict: {{Exaggerated}}. Aaron Williams regains his tennis mojo to challenge Charles ''because'' of an absurd amount of cocaine, which he rather obviously placed on the court and snorted during the match.

* ItAmusedMe: The Queen stops security from interfering with Poole and Williams fight, because she wants to see what will happen. [[spoiler: They both died.]]

* LiteralMinded: When Charles manages to actually understand a question, his response falls along these lines. In one interview, when asked about his strategy for tennis, he literally starts explaining ''how'' tennis is played.

** On the sixth day of play, Poole misses what should have been a match point due to David Copperfield magically appearing atop his shoulders by accident. Since there's no rule meaning that magicians appearing on top of people ends play, the point went to Williams.

* SeriousBusiness: The windy talking-head interviews describing the tennis match as "two men locked in eternal flames" and of course the title. Of course, it actually ''manages'' to become such, considering the Queen of England himself demanded Poole win and the game lasted for 7 days [[spoiler: before they both died.]]

* WhiteMansBurden: {{Inverted}}, as the white Aaron Williams was adopted by the bloack Richard Williams, father of Venus and Serena Williams, and learned his tennis skills by proximity. Serena herself calls it "like ''Literature/TheBlindSide'', but in reverse."

-->'''Sandy Pickard:''' It was... *seven days in hell.*

-->'''Sandy Pickard:''' Because I think it would make a good title for the documentary. *{at camera}* '''''7 Days in Hell.'''''

* DepravedBisexual: Aaron Williams, who will indulge in sex at nearly every opportunity, whether it's a female streaker, a male streaker, or nearly everyone in a Swedish prison shower.

* CardboardPrison: Swedish Prison, according to the documentary. An escape only requires a leaping [[NakedPeopleAreFunny naked]] kick on a single guard to leave the compound, and furthermore, Swedish Law dictates that Aaron is a free man once he's outside.

** Charles's mother wanted to fast track her son's academics so he could focus as much time as possible on tennis, so Charles only received vocational training as a truck driver for an education. Naturally, he's about as intelligent racket he swings as a direct result.

* DepravedBisexual: Aaron Poole, who will indulge in sex at nearly every opportunity, whether it's a female streaker, a male streaker, or nearly everyone in a Swedish prison shower.

* AmbiguouslyBi: It's made clear that he used to date a supermodel, played by Karen Gillan, but he's later shown to be extremely aroused by the sight of Aaron Williams having sex with a man.

* BrainlessBeauty: Christian Poole is fit and attractive, but his mind is empty thanks to the regimen his StageMom raised him on. His ex-girlfriend, herself a shallow stage model, described him as "the thickest man she ever met," comparing him mentally to a child.

* {{Jerkass}}: Aaron Poole.

* FunctionalAddict: {{Exaggerated}}. Aaron Williams regains his tennis mojo to challenge Charles ''because'' of an absurd amount of cocaine, which he rather obviously placed on the court and snorted during the match,

* BritishStuffiness: Williams is clearly snorting cocaine constantly through the second day, but no one points it out as the British consider doing so to be rude.

* ComicalOverreacting: During an interview, Charles is pressed for an answer on whether he could have defeated Aaron Williams, to which he replies a disinterested "uh, yeah." Williams, who just happened to be listening in during his daily prison orgy, immediately lost his erection and escaped (without getting dressed, of course), and vowed to avenge his honor by defeating Poole.

* DoubleKnockout: Poole and Williams striking each other with their rackets.

* HesBack: PlayedWith. Williams returns from 10 years of retirement to challenge the one of the best tennis players in the world... and he performs as well as you'd expect from someone who hasn't played tennis in 10 years. He's only able to extend it to a second day of play due a technicality, and it takes plenty of drugs to regain his skills.

* DodgyToupee: Williams's giant mullet.

* SeriousBusiness: The windy talking-head interviews describing the tennis match as "two men locked in eternal flames" and of course the title.
