Once you have chosen 5, please justify why you like them and use media terminology at every opportunity. Do this as a blog post and ensure that you put a link to each video that you are analysing, along with a print screen or two from each video (you will need to snip the image, 'save as' and insert image).
You can focus on:

The plot of 'Toasted' consists of a worker aspiring to escape from his workplace which is unlikely a toaster, hence the title.
It features great set designs yet a simple premise with an interesting art style which is unfortunately let down by the almost PS3 quality of animation which is most likely a product of the low budget

Alex Jones is (Technically) a Human
Alex Jones, American Radio personality and sentient burst blood vessel, explains in detail how he is, in fact, human.
This short consists of an animation of internet sensation Alex Jones which follows him explaining how he is a human. It is intended to be comical since Alex Jones is quite an outlandish character in real life. The style of animation is very exaggerated to coincide with the personality of Jone. It also includes political undertones with Jones brandishing and flaunting Donald Trump propaganda and merchandise, this is reference to Jones being a strong Trump Supporter.

Absence is a story about heartbreak which injects comedy and humor to the short film. The narrator talks in a rhyming scheme which makes the theme of the video much more lighthearted.
It also includes a mix of animation and live action / real world scenes similar to the likes of 'Who framed Roger Rabbit' and 'The Mask'
