The sequel should involve battles between ninjas and pirates.

The last scene was a bit predictable.

Didn't do much for me. Either change the title or don't spend 2 minutes of of a 5 minute film telling us what the title already did.

I read "YouTube 5:23" like it was a Gospel. That's what we need. A YouTube Bible, with videos of different lengths making up the entirety of the verses.

That's what we need. A YouTube Bible, with videos of different lengths making up the entirety of the verses. YouTube 3:51 - And, yea, though the kittens did fall from many things, the light upon the wall remained uncaught.

Either change the title or don't spend 2 minutes of of a 5 minute film telling us what the title already did. I'm sure the director wanted to call it something like Roommates, thus preserving at least one laugh (when the ninja shows up), but his genius marketing adviser told him something like, "Make sure the title has 'Ninja' in it, so that we can attract the Ninja demographic! It's critical that these people can find your film!"

Saw this at a film festival ~3 years ago, thought it was great. I remember coming home and googling it, and at least back then there was a high quality (i.e. non-YouTube) version on the web.

I don't know... I don't think I'm the world's most creative person, but I think there needed to be a lot more ninjaing and a lot less talking in order to make that thing hi-freakin'-larious. Give me a camera, a ninja, and 3 days and I think I can do better.

Good idea, poor execution. What was the ninja doing when the non-ninja was watching TV? Playing with a Lite-Brite, or something?

I liked it. Lots. And for those that don't already know? My word is gospel. Therefore you all like it too. /eyes the room with one brow raised in defiance

I like the snarky comment at the bottom about how a ninja would never sit in an attack vector. Why are ninjas so cool?
