Shortest FPP ever?

Late for work

...No. There are many more 5secondfilms worth 5 seconds of your time:
Joy Ride
Roommate Mix Up
My Almost Psychic Friend
Absence of the Towels
Guns A Blazin'
Party patriot, Etc. there.
Now, 5secondfilms is getting into longer productions: Here's a clip from their latest '80's slasher' feature, Dude Bro Party Massacre III. Film website here.
Bonus (?) - Grown Men Are Talking

Always loved "Late for Work." What a great little existential horror film.

That guy from the "Roommate Mix Up" one also made one of my all-time favorite web series, Next Time on Lonny. (which I though deserved an FPP until I saw there already was one)

"Absence of the Towels" is probably NSFW, but, like, only for five seconds so I wouldn't worry about it.

I had this confused with late for meeting, and was rather surprised when I clicked. (Link NSFW for bare Ken Doll anatomy butt.)

Doubling your time, but not very much.

Mod note: This is a double, but the previous one was 6 years ago and it looks like they have new stuff since then, so I'm leaving it.

An American in New York has always been my favorite.

I thought they had stopped making actual five second films a while back for some reason...so I have a lot to catch up on.

Tom Watson

That's, MeFi's own, Tom Watson MP. Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, scourge of the Murdoch press and one time 'Brownite hitman'.

The almost psychic friend and Absence of Towels actor Brian Firenzi was the anti-hero in the Youtube web series Video Game High School.

Missing

I too thought they had stopped making these and have some catching up to do.

I thought they had stopped making actual five second films a while back for some reason...so I have a lot to catch up on.

They stopped doing regular updates in December 2013, and ended with The Last 5sf, part 1 and part 2 (portions nsfa), two long episodes about 5SF's quest to destroy the internet after becoming obsolete, of course full of references to earlier episodes, including personal favourites like Getting to Know Her, Missing, and Kelsey Cat.

(They're still uploading the occasional episode, including a bunch of kickstarter rewards where a standing joke was how they consistently ignored the submitted story prompt.)

My two all-time favorites from these guys: Never Switch a Switcher and The Ballad of Truck Thunders.
