If you’re an Internet user who’s half the lazy time-waster that I am, you’ve probably seen something from 5-Second Films before. The website has been featured on both “Attack of the Show” and “Tosh.0,” which are TV shows about the Internet for geeks who like to have their obsessions validated by cable television. In fact, “AOTS” co-host Olivia Munn called 5-Second Films “hit or miss,” which is precisely the kind of recognition I’ve been trying to get from Olivia for years. But she has effective security guards and a team of lawyers that have a bottomless well of “cease and desist” letters. Alas.
Thus it is with great pleasure that Uproxx has teamed with 5-Second Films to present their twenty best creations. In honor of this momentous occasion for independent dot-com venues, I have given each clip a write-up of five words or fewer (please note that the headline is grammatically incorrect merely because it sounds better that way). Perhaps some day, Olivia Munn will describe these descriptions as “hit or miss.” And also send me the Princess Leia slave costume she wore at Comic-Con.

You had me at “Pregnant Lady Gets Punched.”
Renegade Pervert sounds like the original idea Lorenzo Lamas had.
Some people would call the baby jokes repetitive. Those people have never had to correct accidents.
oh man they left out ‘panic order’ ??! travesty..

Robodog for life.
Robodog is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE!
Cinco de Mayo is the greatest.
Robodog without question. It tickles a very, very specific part of my humor lobe that rarely gets tickled.
The ones with the babies. Is too hard to choose between them. I couldn’t see from laughing the first couple of times through, that hasn’t happened since I watched Stephen Chow’s God of Cookery/Love on Delivery (with the Kung Fu fight wearing the Garfield mask.)
Watch This!!! for sure.
Epic! Cinco de Mayo is easily the best one!
I’m partial to “Bankjob” because of the obvious effort involved in the production. First-rate camera work, editing, scenery (who rented out a building and built a custom-made sign for it?), and the premise had me cackling like a crazy person for three solid days.
DON’T THINKO DE MAYO — Thanks for tequila, Mexico! HAHAHAHAHA XD!!!!!!!! LMAO
MAGIC SHOW VOLUNTEER — Pregnant lady punched i laughed my ass off XD
in the last one…the not dead one was smoking a blunt?
I was hoping to see “Do You Remember the Day Before Yesterday When There Weren’t any Zombies?”
This isn’t funny, its absolutely terrible!
I vote for KEEPING YOU SAFE
