''[http://5secondfilms.com/ 5 Second Films]'' (or 5SF) is a website run by a group of actors and writers that regularly produce short films. [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|These short films last exactly five seconds]] (8 seconds, if you count the title card and 'The End'. But don't pay attention to that). The subject of said films are almost completely random, with only a few subjects and characters referenced more than once.
 
In addition to the link above, they have a [http://www.youtube.com/user/5secondfilms YouTube channel]; useful, since it has some of their earlier videos that are no longer accessible on their main site.
 
Not to be confused with [[That Guy With theThe Glasses|Five Second Movies]].

{{quote| ''The Board of Highly Scientific Review & Science, as you can no doubt imagine, went on to publish several papers based on Dr. Firenzi’s findings, the most prominent of which were titled “Zhoo! Zhoo! Zhoo! And the Neurotechnological Capabilities Therein” by Dr. Sandoval, and “Pew, Pew: A Rebuffing of Dr. Sandoval’s Hasty Assertions,” by Dr. Gunn. Dr. Firenzi himself disappeared from the eye of the medical world and has yet to resurface, after several long years. ''}}

Line 128:
** Week 151 is "5 Second Films: Special Edition", where the team has taken pot shot after pot shot at [[George Lucas]] and his "improvements" of the original [[Star Wars]] trilogy, either adding in needless [[Conspicuous CGI]] to classic videos, bowlderizing some of the more vulgar ones, or editing them in ways that are [[Completely Missing the Point]] and ruining the original joke. For anybody who didn't get the joke with Brian looking like George Lucas, sitting in his director's seat the whole time in front of nothing but green screens, and having a constant cup of coffee in his hand, along with a [[Suspiciously Similar Song]] version of the Star Wars opening playing after each video, in the last one they used footage and sound clips from Episode III (Darth Vader's NO! scene)
