I wanna fly a plane....but I'm blind.

[@bunnywabbit]

The awkwardness made me nervous. Great film!

[@DemoDownTG23]

I wish it didn't have to end lol.. this was Great 👍👍

[@inglesconteacherdario2495]

This feels like the pilot of a good TV show 👌🏻

[@b-radsadventures6846]

That was so well done! Great story. How Randy ever drove or delivered anything is beyond me! lol

[@brianheidel4550]

He's been MIA for about an hour, but he's still going to deliver those pizzas. Someone's going to want a refund, lol

[@PresidentPaul2024]

Excellent film with surprisingly mainstream music! The only thing that kind of made me wonder was that there are no warming bags for the ‘zza. Make more!!!

[@waltg5165]

This was the 1980's (early 1990's) for me, not taken hostage per se, but some crazy shit. Go with that flow and do not ask any questions.

[@user-bj7nw6ml2k]

That's why GPS is important but GPS doesn't change human attitude

[@markee1010]

Great ride! Kinda "Lebowski" like. Fun!

[@Aurabora54321]

Grandma was unsettling. Lucky to have that youngster to keep her grounded, safe, sane..😊

[@Larsen4]

Great shorty 🤩🤩🤩

[@sparkythancztwise]

5:40 minutes in and it's picking up steam and getting funnier after the more dry & odd (yet warm hearted) humor of the first scene. Love the boss and Randy with the main character, super amusing.

[@timothysmith1844]

Excellent entertainment

[@sparkythancztwise]

this short film rocks, most excellent- was hoping for some real comedy and this delivered did not plan that, swear 😆

[@immanutt4442]

PINEAPPLE PIZZA EXPRESS !!!

[@user-bj7nw6ml2k]

Tough to have a fixed time sheet delivering pizza is like delivering babies they just come.

[@terryoquinn8199]

Great job guys , I really enjoyed this . I hope to see some more from you in the future . Take care .

[@muhsinkanadikirik678]

*Dağıtıcı çok zor durumda kaldı; nerdeyse yastık...😂$1+ Bonus😂 Nice story; best cast! Thanx!👏🤝⭐🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@user-bj7nw6ml2k]

Training the patience of the .kid delivery one of the toughest jobs . . . Dealing with payment and customer service at the same time

[@sandyzimmermann2978]

Loved it! I hope the cast reunites for another one.

[@jackb1000]

This flik was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!

[@markwarrensprawson]

I thought I was done with stoner flicks. Like, before I hit play on this I figured rewatching "Dazed and Confused" another seven or eight times before I kicked the bucket was about as far down Stoner Street I'd ever go again. Here I am hitting subscribe and wishing smoking weed hadn't stopped being awesome and suddenly started sending me spiraling recursively around my fear of failing to adult properly. Maybe stuff like this and a holiday will restore my enthusiasm for getting high. It might even get my brother to come visit me more so we can get high together. Haha. Take you shoes off. God time. I liked that. Well unique among the other short films I enjoy online. Thank you so much to the filmmakers and to Omeleto, once again.

2:15 my friends went to Woodstock. My parents said I couldn’t go.

[@htp496]

I’m kind of envious of his life!

[@verwolf3D]

Cool story! Amazing pretty girl!

[@sparkythancztwise]

man it must suck to try to run a pizza joint (and lots of other fast food and other businesses), with all the employees bein' stoned outta their minds most of the time 🤣

[@donald2451]

Welcome to Oregon

[@sparkythancztwise]

@@donald2451 and many many other cities and regions amongst other states. idk how common in a few other countries where it's not treated with severity as a crime to use weed.

[@Nadia-um8hd]

Open thé curtains so that thé smoke goes outt😅

[@Nadia-um8hd]

[@gregschneider1030]

That was really fun - nice job guys and gals!

[@angelaprominence5369]

Loved this comedy short film, well written and directed!

[@firemanack6486]

In the beginning some of the acting ( sexy wife for example) was as if they were trying to be bad on purpose. I still was intrigued by the story, even if it was simple. I absolutely loved the “ go with the flow” advice, which was taken, to the young man’s delight. The offering had me laughing and crying ( happy crying) in it’s short time. Very nicely written and acted. Reminded me of “ If you have the chance to sit it out or dance……I hope you dance”

[@CuriousAlex-pt7hx]

this was a solid watch!

[@sparkythancztwise]

18:28 - 18:33 LOL

[@daneatonmusic]

¨my dad STILL thinks the earths flat¨ as in always has been!!

[@eazyridin7283]

My favorite part was drug dealer saying “ the door “ it was hilarious

[@MW-us3sv]

That was a nice little jaunt.

[@boxcartoon5046]

Dealing with a variety of clients. Grand ma should have told him the truth instead of telling him to go with the flow

[@williambarnes7883]

One of the best short films on youtube, really excellent.

[@raynaudier8622]

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[@patriciaowen9491]

Wait. How did he get his shoes back?

[@AnsermetBrothers]

good eye! 👁️ little continuity error on our part while filming

[@patriciaowen9491]

Amazing production and acting. I can't wait to see what you all have in store for us! Keep it coming!

[@tjmmcd1]

Why are the 'closed caption' words different than the dialog? @2:23 grandma says Tylenol, yet cc says, Dafalgan? Watch from, 2:36 and the cc is similar, but completely different. "Just go with the flow" in cc is. "Let yourself go", while, "Enjoy the ride" translates in cc to "Follow the flow of life"? It continues on throughout the rest of the film. @24:25 the dialog in the film is "You haven't got laid in a while?" while cc translates, "Has it been a long time since you had sex with someone?" WTH???

[@rabbipemberton179]

"Promosm"

[@Aurabora54321]

That lady was creepy with her bad accent, creased robe and filled 💋 😅
