Alex Jones is (technically) a human:
This short-film was an animation, using audio from infamous conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Surreal animation is used to compliment the odd things being said by Jones. The film is clearly a comedy and mocking what is being said, and is the man is satirized very well. The editing is often quite fast-paced, as if to represent the mind of the character, and the animation as a whole is very bright and colourful.
Cool Unicorn Bruv:

This short-film is another comedy-centered video. The narrative consists of a man trying to sell his bike to a guy, until the buyer gets distracted by a man walking by with a unicorn, which is apparently better than the bike in every way, tempting the buyer to decide to not buy the bicycle after all. The film is shot quite basically, with a lot of shot reverse-shot being used during the conversations. In one of the final shots though, the 'unicorn' walks away with fog surrounding it, which is an interesting shot reflecting the magic and mystery of the being. The characters speak in a very 'roadman' way, meaning that the comedy mostly comes from how serious and matter-of-fact the lines are being delivered about a magical unicorn by these unexpected characters.

A TV Movie:

This short film is quite an artsy one, including no people as characters but instead having an old television set as the protagonist throughout, attempting to set itself up perfectly in front of a mirror in its room so it can watch a movie on itself in it. The entire film is made in stop-motion and is done very well, making the TV look as if it is having emotions and thoughts at some points using nothing but features already on the TV set. The only part of the entire film which includes humans is the final shot, when the TV decides to watch the world out of his window and we see a high-angle shot looking down at the public walking by.

The Rabbit Hole:
This short-film is set in a single location, that location being a tunnel, with only two characters; a man and his dog. The two walk through it, until the dog walks onto the ceiling, which is when lots of interesting camera tricks are done to show any of the two walking without gravity in the tunnel. This is edited in a way that causes the final product to be quite comedic, with music playing at the beginning fitting the mood of a 'cool' man walking, until it pauses for a second when the dog walks on to the ceiling. A trippy style is present throughout a lot of it, with odd close ups of the mans extreme expressions or warps in the footage as he is trying to get up to where his dog is.
Last Minute:
https://www.depict.org/2009/last-minute/
This short-film takes advantage of quite dark-themed comedy, centering entirely about a crumbling marriage. It is edited in a really interesting style, with each shot including only one sentence of word from one of the two characters, the wife or husband. Slowly, the emotions and mood goes from cheery and happy to depressing and broken, with each line of voice linking smoothly into each other. The camera is never used too crazily - perhaps to reflect the fact that this is just a typical, ordinary couple and happens regularly.
