This is so emotionally captivating because Charles is literally the Personification of a Dog. If a dog could talk, it would sound like Charles. His thoughts and emotions are just like a pet dog.

@brokenrecord3523 10 месяцев назад

@ValleyRC 4 года назад

I used to think David Earl was being a bit lazy by playing the same character a lot of the time but I'm starting to think there's something a bit more clever going on now, it's almost like he's weaving a continuity through everything he appears in, like hes making totally different productions part of the same universe or something. The character also has that marvellous way being able to go from primitive toilet humor to true poignancy and back again. It's absurd how quickly he can switch from fart jokes to heart wrenching introspection.

@suckered1316 2 года назад

The first time I watched this I had to re-watch again and again. I noticed it opened a can of worms deep in my subconsciousness which feels like the first time as a child I wanted to disassociate with something that I found a deep dislike for. Its something about Charles I can't stand yet he's funny as hell. This is my favorite short comedy film I have ever seen. Its a poignant reminder of the greatest fear we have which is loneliness and isolation. Its quite brilliant really. I wish they did some follow up shorts that would be so good.
