But clearly he liked it enough to get involved. That was hilarious.

Description

The Gunfighter | A Short Film by Eric Kissack (narrated by Nick Offerman)

In a small town in the old west, a lone and weary gunfighter enters a saloon. As he walks through the room surrounded by the people of the town, a voice begins narrating the scene, telling us exactly who this gunfighter is. But unlike every classic western to use the
narrator trope, the characters in this film can hear the voice.
This omniscient narrator quickly begins divulging the deepest, darkest secrets of the people in the saloon. He exposes infidelity, homosexuality, prejudice and even a bit of bestiality. As the story unfolds it becomes evident that the voice is a bloodthirsty bastard that wants nothing more than to see the people of the town kill each other in a needless gunfight.

Kevin Tenglin didn't have him in mine when he wrote that hilarious script. Again, Nick Offerman was perfect.

Reflecting a bit, Billy Bob Thornton would have been good, too.

I like to resurrect it every now and then, because it's still funny no matter how many times you watch it, if you make the interval long enough.

Thanks for resurrecting it!
