"they call it television programming for a reason"

[@kimmyb33]

Soooo I see the amount of toilet paper needed to make this film is probably what caused the recent toilet paper shortage 😶 thanks a lot, folks! 😂😂😂

[@JohninTucson]

What a terrific little video that illustrates how influential media can be, and the herd mentality. Excellent job guys!!!

[@robertmoye7565]

I love the tire rolling through the scene (although it wasn't on fire), reprized late by a roll of toilet paper. Brilliant! This is hysterical parody.

[@Fiction_Writing]

The film this decade needs.

[@rodrizo1]

This is one of best shot film I ever wathed. From brazil I can tell this happen some time ago with achohol in gel.

[@BoxFort]

Wow! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@tallmn1957]

Ray-Ray kicked ass in this. Keep an eye on that girl because she's going places.

[@ErikNilsen1337]

The Grunge Jesus himself! So stoked to watch Jake do his magic!

[@mbuckley3828]

Better not be a disclaimer at the end that no toiler paper rolls were harmed in the production of this film.

[@gabeawars1025]

This is so underrated- it was actually rlly good

[@PhongvaPhim]

I love this short film, depicting a society captured by the media, greedy and selfish businessmen. I love this humorous and satirical storytelling.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Meanwhile, people with bidets are at home, listening to the news and asking each other, "Toilet paper shortage? What's that?"

[@AlinaTowers]

So funny, because I am totally that person watching this! 😂

[@blakehilton986]

yes!!!! so good!

[@joshuabates7424]

And this happened. A friend of mine bought a huge amount when the "shortage" was going on. She had toilet paper for two years. Get a bidet for 35 dollars.

[@mattrobinson47]

Satisfying story! Really well done, right down to the sound design. Thanks!

[@annemckeon6532]

During the first lockdown in Ireland there was a huge rush on toilet paper in the shops. I have no clue why, but there were shops where the shelves for toilet paper were empty.

[@doronron7323]

Yup; the same on mainland UK. No rhyme or reason for it. It was a total wipe-out!

[@queenofcrows]

It was a global panic that started due to the reporting of an actual toilet paper shortage in New Zealand (or was it Australia?). That actual shortage was due to a covid outbreak in the only company that supplied toilet paper. When people in other countries heard about that, they got scared there might be a future shortage where they were, so they rushed to buy TP. That created an actual shortage. And the more the media reported on it, the more people panicked and mass-bought toilet paper until stores were empty of it pretty much everywhere.

[@mariedoyle2790]

Operation ‘Arse wipe’ was to generate more fear and confusion that a real pandemic was underway. I know people who horded tp, they were told to do so by their lodge leadership. This film is fairly typical mockery from the same culture that’s been here for the last two hundred years.

[@GregMcMahan]

I love the running gag (rolling gag?) of the tires in the background. This is a funny video!

[@-LightningRod-]

its a rollin gag tho

[@moniquegam3075]

Soooo good

[@BoxFort]

Thank you!!

[@valerie241]

It's Sydney during lockdown, including the fights over toilet paper in supermarkets😌

[@ann5582K]

No toilet rolls were harmed in the making of this film😌

[@believeinpeace]

Excellent acting and movie!

[@tjmmcd1]

Brilliant! Q: What separates many people from animals? A: Very little.

[@davidbanerjee1879]

That was very funny and enjoyable. More please!

[@haywireone8818]

A variation of this occurred in Walmart last March...

[@yee6325]

loved it @ 6:15

[@bigbonner3531]

That was some movie theater quality filming. The whole thing was done top quality.

[@ann5582K]

Absolute ptsd from twenty twenty

[@pltopper771]

this is based on a true story

[@morrisminor56]

Of course it happened again last spring with the covid thing, paper then dried pasta.1st the shelves go empty then our warehouse goes empty then the factories warehouse goes empty. then you are waiting on the paper machines to make the paper. I work in a very large supermarket saw it all happen.

[@michaelsmith2733]

We still have TP left over from that.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jeffbawden7901]

Funniest any more please

[@juliegrace5507]

this is amazing the cast is perfect

[@sumerandaccad]

As in 1973 so in 2020

[@MirlitronOne]

Surely, in reality this could never happen? ;-)

[@andrewcao1526]

With shelves toilet paper gary

[@currentphonograph7487]

It's pretty funny short

[@markzucker3949]

How to tell when someone is "full of ****"? They drive to Costco, fearing a shortage of toilet paper... This makes me think of India

[@TheAdeybob]

excellent romp...cabbage patch kids meet Ealing via Romero

[@MH-jt3lx]

Two hundred a roll! Today’s price in California. Bums can’t never afford it so they use rocks,lmao.

[@MONICAANICA]

We are just scared animals & somebody makes big money with us....All the time

[@kumarj4693]

So much toilet paper was wasted making this film. What a tragedy!

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Whaaaaattt??? Based on a true story??? I don't remember that happening. (I was about 20.)

[@tshotflash7293]

I remember this and it didn't go very well at all.

[@911shamrage]

Whats funny about this: look outside, FUEL/Energy, the very same is happening, right now............

[@zanedavid1]

The truth and nothing but the truth. This particular brand of nonsense happens every 6 months ... or so.

[@kijanailis]

Moral? People are stupid.

[@darrellsage3076]

No shit, Five Stars was much better.

[@Stasiaflonase]

Not as accurate as the toilet paper and everything else shortages 2020-2022

[@stuart6478]

wow this wasn't funny even a little bit

[@stuart6478]

comedy?

[@dougholliday467]

I don't really remember THAT shortage of THAT time, but I do remember the shortage right around the covid time. I went to the store....................NO BREAD...NO PAPERTOWLES...AND no toilet paper. lol I was agast. That's all I have to say about that. Sentebay 🚽🧻🧻🧻🚫➖➖‼⁉❓❓👀😜🤑🤨🙄😳😠💯👀
