Shapes We Live With

Short film · 2016

Spheres, cylinders, and pyramids get endless close-ups while the most condescending narrator in educational film history explains what a circle is.

With Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett

Shapes We Live With! The much more popular follow-up to Shapes We Can't Stand, God Help Us, If We Have To Hear Even One More Word About These Shapes We Will Straight Up Lose It.

Spheres, cylinders, pyramids, the whole shape-y gang is here, reunited at last. Ready for their close-ups, repeated close-ups, over and over, so many close-ups of shapes you'll be begging the narrator for something, ANYTHING that isn't a shape as you descend fully into conical madness.

Speaking of that narrator, he's a real treat for connoisseurs of condescending narrators. Perhaps the most condescending we've found since the narrator of Drawing for Beginners: the Rectangle, and that's saying a lot.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might just learn something (but only if you don't know what a circle is). Don't be a square, join Mike, Kevin, and Bill, the Riffers We Live With, for Shapes We Live With!

I get the impression that they had just come back from vacation when they recorded this. They seemed to be super into it, like they hadn't done it for quite a while.
