This was released in 2014, but I didn't see it until 2015, when a friend shared it on facebook. I started watching it, and when the narration began, I was like "Hey, Axe Cop!" (The narrator is Nick Offerman, whom you may know from any number of things, such as "Parks and Recreation," which I haven't seen but always kind of wanted to, but to me he is Axe Cop.) Also, the fact that this short film doesn't currently have a TV Tropes entry is a crime, so someone should start one.

Anyway, a gunfighter walks into a saloon in the Old West, and the scene is narrated by, you know, a narrator. But what's hilarious about the film is that all the characters can hear the disembodied voice of the narrator (which presumably is not typical of their world, because they're all totally thrown by it). So I can't help but wonder what "the voice" actually is, where it came from, etc. But it clearly has an agenda, which is basically forcing the scene to play out exactly the way you'd expect it to, in a western (i.e., everyone shooting each other). It's weird, because I feel like, in the first place, that probably wouldn't happen without the narration, because without the voice, there'd be nothing to provoke it. But then, in spite of the voice attempting to incite everyone to violence, their shared resentment toward the voice ironically sets the stage for a possible peaceful resolution to the story. As for who gets their way in the end, the voice or the townsfolk, I won't spoil that. But the actual outcome of the story is almost irrelevant; the point of the film is how that outcome is arrived at, and the many comedic twists and turns the story takes in getting there. And it is freaking brilliant.
