Franck the sheep is having a bad day. Then a salesman shows up with an offer he cannot refuse. It is weird, wonderful, and the funniest sales pitch we have ever seen.

What to Watch For
Hit play, then keep an eye on the background. The best jokes in short films are almost never the loud ones.
- The reaction shot at the halfway mark
- The sound effect that should not be that funny
- The ending that nobody saw coming
Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.
Mel Brooks
Watch it twice. The second viewing is where the tiny details start winning.
