  • The girlfriend's favorite person is his son. That's why he offers the cool guy 3 oranges, not 3

  • the woman "thought she was someones favorite person", yet looked sad and confused at the end...the jogger "was very certain" he wasn't anyone's favorite person and was generally cheerful...the last guy didn't care or think about it at all...and was just, average

  • Comment removed

  • Nobody is my favorite person, I like many people but in different ways, so why does it matter if I am somebody's favorite person? (FYI I'm single)

  • I am myself's favorite person. After going through something, most important of all, it is myself loving myself that counts. Who gives a shit if I am not somebody's favorite? In order for other people to love you, you must first learn to love yourself. This is not narcissism, it is just a way to protect oneself.

  • I'd just like to say that the most important (and my personal FAVOURITE thing) is to BE YOURSELF! A person can do lots of things to become someone's favourite person but is this really a point? If by being yourself, you're still not anyone's favourte person, then that's fine because you're still a WINNER!

  • I come back periodically to see this video again, but also to read the comments. I really appreciate the level of intelligence, it's a welcome change from the usual obscene Neanderthal grunts we're treated to elsewhere on YouTube. just goes to show it's all about choosing the places where you hang out, I guesss

  • nobody's anybody's favorite person forever anyways, so who cares

  • I don't understand

  • This bummed me out.

  • @RAZALAS92e me too. It was good though.

  • @BSidnyrB agreed :)

  • Not being anybody's favorite person doesn't preclude you from being the 2nd or 3rd favorite person in the lives of many. You could just be competing in a really tough bracket and not getting that #1 slot, but doing consistently well. :-)

  • I didn't think so for ages and ages after watching this video, but my best friend told me I was his favourite person :')

  • guys who says he's nobody's fav person is my fav person in this video.

  • The second guy shouldn't have stopped so suddenly. It made the film seem less real but I guess that's subjective. I love the message though.

  • That guy is my hero. "No." "Are you sure?" "Yeah definitely."

  • this always ruins my day :(

  • now that i think about this question i don't know what to think, i mean i know people like hanging out with me so i would think that i could possibly be someone's favorite person. truth is i know that people have love for me, and to me that's a whole lot better than favoritism. ;)

  • I was thinking about this and immediately I just realized.Who gives a shit if you're anyone's favourite person?I couldn't give two shits about this nonsense.Guys,enjoy your lives ffs there's alot of beautiful things in this world.Get a hobby or something all this stuff seems pretty shallow to me

  • Of course that'd be flattering, but secretly I just wish I could be my own favorite person..

  • @Contraproductive I like you.

  • I love that he offers him another orange when he mentions that he has a girlfriend. It's just a really nice moment.

  • I've never thought about it. That's nice.

  • So. I liked it, but I'm not sure why I liked it. What is the point?

  • @jrzyfrsh It's a task for you: are you the favorite person of anybody ?:)

  • I think the point of him pointing out his girlfriend was to prove to the audience that he wasn't just a low self-esteem wreck. Just someone who was completely honest and wasn't about to jump onto a fanciful, opaque concept just because it might validate him.

  • That's Ned Schneebly!

  • John C Reilly is one of the most underrated actors ever. Yeah, he is hilarious in comedies, but everyone forgets his amazing roles in other movies. I think he's one of my favorite actors. And I got to see him with T&E a while ago. I appreciate that man a whole lot.

  • just because he has a girlfriend doesn't mean he is her favourite person

    maybe her grandmother is her favourite person

    I can't think of anyone who would say I'm their favourite person. The only person who might say it is my son, but he can't speak yet, and since I seem to be the one who is teaching him "no" then by the time he can speak I'm sure he'll prefer his mother

    life isn't a competition. we're all winners and we're all losers from time to time.

    I guess accepting these things bring peace

  • 2:48

    awkward attempt to put headphones on

  • ORANGES for FREE to THE ones THAT don't CARE

  • They showed this in my art class today, and I don't know. It touched me.

  • what a weird short film... i like it it's really simple. Can anybody explain to me why the guy who said "no" said so even though he had a girlfriend? and why he was the only one who was offered oranges? to me it seems like they are all slightly delusional in one way or another because they can never truly know the answer to the question.

  • @crabbySm4ck3r I'm like that dude. My gf cheated on me like, 6 times and now she still isn't too good with her currents about not messing around and I date her for 2 years knowing all that. We got hurt real bad and have become "REALISTS." We accept most "truths" we're given. Sometimes I like to go deep and find as much of the "real" truth as I can, but most of the time I just jump to, "Yep. I know I'm pathetic ^_^. How's your day. ^_^" It's pretty sad. At the gf part, I ached lol :(

  • @Sephenon WOW dude thats not cool... i'm an optimist, and i think a person should try to find the perfect situation. you're supposed to be your gf's favorite person man. from my point of view you seem like a pessimist (no offence intended) seeing the crappiest sides of life and accepting them... that really sucks about your gf tho dude. =/

  • @Sephenon Dude, don't stick around with a girl who doesn't appreciate you and who doesn't make you happy anymore. You may love her, but she clearly doesn't care about you if she's cheated on you 6 times in 2 years. If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that the is only one person who actually gives a sh*t about your happiness, and that is you. You have to create your own happy ending, and if that means escaping from a rotten relationship, then go for it. I wish you the best of luck man

  • Why the heck is it in black and white?

  • Always loved this one, it's so quircky and deep.

  • Miranda July keeps impressing me *_*

  • i want to do this survey.

  • +3000 rate from me xD

  • After almost three years of seeing this movie, it's still one of my favourite short films!

  • i liked this film a lot.

    i don't think i am the favorite person of anyone.

    my teddy bear is my favorite non person. my favorite person changes. i have like a top three and they kind of rotate in and out of top slot.

  • you're my favorite customer johnny.

  • 537 people with bottled up emotions dislike this

  • @lookshee

    539 now, and counting. Some people just won't get it.

  • anyone can write all dialogues in the film? i don't speak much english.

    i don't understand because talking too fast. please write

  • i'd like to try this.

  • I was so sad when that guy said 'my girlfriend might like these' and he said he wasn't anyone's favorite person. Not even a little bit. I understand he might not be his girlfriend's favorite person, but still... =[ I hope she likes him. (Even if this was all staged, idgaf.)

  • Because of this, I had to eat an orange. :/

  • That was the most beautiful thing I have seen all day.

  • Comment removed

  • I am! And I'm 100% sure of that! :)

  • Now I want an orange.

  • cool.

    i noticed im wearing the same headphones as the 2nd guy right now

  • as for all of you people who are upset or dissapointed because u can't think of anyone whos favorite person u might be--its more likely your not no matter who you are, think about it, how many ppl do u know?? well only ONE of those many ppl can be your favorite, its like being asked if your the smartest student in high school, theres too many people, theres nothing wrong with being nobodys favoite person

  • @JuanBautista12 no man, the odds are much higher than that. Say you know 100 people. Say the 100 people you know also know 100 people. So, for each of your friends you have a 1/100 chance of them choosing you as their favorite person (assuming the friend has no biases). So the odds of you being the favorite person of someone is 1/100 done 100 times. So it's like you have a 100-sided die that you roll 100 times trying to have it land on the number 1.

  • @coinbird1 i have to give you props thats smart thinking--but in that 'acording to the statistics' case u will be chosen once -most likely- but how many of those ppl don't have favorites?? i wud say many-bcuz when an average person is asked they would most likely think of many ppl and not be able to decide, unless if someone has changed or save your life in some way---but i see your point

  • @JuanBautista12 Agreed. I don't have 1 favorite person.

  • i hate how many ppl (such as some of the commenters below me) post comments on videos like this or about songs saying "this is so my life" or explaining how difficult life is for or relative to this video, now don't get me wrong i bet a few ppl ARE truthful about it but ud have to admit most of th eppl posting these comments are totally bs'ing, and even if theyr not, its not something they should be posting up

  • Neil!

  • i m my dog s favourite person :)

  • I'm not anyone's favorite person. I've known this for a long time, and it doesn't get any easier to deal with with time. Makes life feel incredibly pointless. We all want to be needed, wanted, appreciated, loved, accepted - it's human nature, and it's sad to have to rely on others to feel worth about yourself. Hermits are irritable for a reason. We all want independence, but some of us pretend it should be all we need. Yet lonely and solitude are not mutually exclusive.

  • does john c. reilly think hes a serious actor

  • @yrimen Watch Magnolia. He can be a great serious actor.

  • Very certain I'm not anyone's. Still working on not letting it bother me.

  • @HaldoChan me too.

  • I think it's easier to know if you're someone's least favorite. I hope I'm my cats favorite though.

    :¬)

  • well.. are ya?

  • why was this made? these random actors/actresses helping out to make this video for youtube.

  • I found it quite interesting. It shows people's different views on themselves.

  • interesting.....just that. the point is: no idea.....could be a lot of things.

    I dont really care if I am someones favourite person.....treating people well and caring for them is something you can control being their favourite person is not. And I dont think ive got 1 favourite person.....now that i think about it.... sounds a bit silly to me to have one.....you could love your wife a lot but where would you place your kids or parents in that ranking? its a stupid question :)

  • At first it's sad to see the boy say "yeah, definitely." But then when I think about it, that's the best way to answer, to KNOW whether you are loved or not and not let it affect your life either way. It doesn't matter the answer, he still enjoys a good orange or 3. XD

  • If your happiness depends on the opinions of others then you'll always be at their mercy.

  • An Interesting Question

  • very nice...

  • Wow, this really got to me!

  • I like it.

  • it's actor from Step brothers...! zomg!

  • Hm. That certainly changed my day.

  • the last one was my favorite person. not wanting to be judged.

  • my girlfriend might like one..

  • ....when the interviewer offers the orange...it suggests some favouritism to him...giving him something for the time he spent and his honesty...mr. I don't want to be involved...isn't concerned with the triffles of being involved in things that don't concern him..

  • The film itself is in black and white...keeping the viewing neutral....when he asks the woman if she is someone's fav. she is very unsure. Saying "my ex girlfriend"...my question is why is she an ex if you were her fav. person???? part 2 of the question was certainty... she goes from very to i think so...the dude with the headset...No is his answer and he is definately sure...very certain

  • she probably said ex girlfriend because SHE (the woman being interviewed herself) was the one that broke up the relationship but her girlfriend might still love her but she doesnt

  • Miranda July is a fuckin genius.

  • @Lula8787 AMEN sister!!!

  • brilliant work based on a very interesting concept. love it

  • Fine actress Miranda July! That sense of vulnerability in her work... courageous and magical.

  • i love miranda july

  • @ frankho99 .. to have a girlfriend is sumthing & to be sumbodyz favorite person is sumthng else .. ur girlfriend might b with u to feel secured or loved or confident enough so mainly fer her own good! that's jus my point of view thou.

  • No. I don't think I'm anyone's favourite person. I'm pretty confident in that. And U don't have a favourite either.

  • The point is there are three types of people in this context: The first one assumes she is and then when she thinks about it properly, she realises she might not be; she's slightly self delusional, a bit narccisistic. The second type is the modest guy; the realist, who doesn't need to feel loved to be secure. The third guy doesn't want to think about it, 'cause the answer might annoy him. He's quite closed and bottles up emotion.

  • @frederickos1 I'm the middle guy.

  • @frederickos1 Narcissistic? Don't you think that's a little over-critical? I mean, I definitely see where you're coming from, but I think it's more self confidence, rather than narcissism. If she had been steadfast in her reply, refusing to even consider that she might not be her ex's favorite person, then I would agree. But, I think that she's just confident.

  • @frederickos1 i understand what ur saying but i highly disagree with the last one

  • @frederickos1 The second person is modest but it's not correct to say "he doesn't feel the need to be loved to be secure." Everyone has the desire to be loved, it is a psychological need. He meets that need because he has a girlfriend.

  • @frederickos1 Kind of a simplistic take.

  • @frederickos1 thanks for clearing that up for me. I really agree with you.

  • @frederickos1

    How about you: Are you the favorite person of anybody ?

  • @Bluzme

    No. You?

  • @frederickos1 don't know.

    I could be

    ... or not

  • "Shake and Bake! WoooWhoo!"

  • @Mr19after6 LOL. ENLIGHTENING. GOOD OBSERVATION ON THE MEANING OF THE VID BRO.

  • he said FREElove he thought it was some kind of hippie shit. the girlfriend could have been going out with him for like only a month and her little sister could be her favorite person.

  • I dont have a favorite person...or a bestfriend. Because one person will never be able to give me the same amount of love and awesomess a group of people can.

  • @standardwhiz: just because a group of people can give more than one person doesnt mean you cant have a favorite person..

  • i dont get the point of these films

  • Hmmm I know this vid has a deeper meaning... guess gotta watch it again.. Any Opinions?

  • @PatMcRotch13 i think the meaning is twofold: 1. white americans should be content with daydreaming about megan fox's ass and 12 gauge HD cell phones, and stop making indie "art", and 2. this is the first generation in america even more self-involved and tedious than the baby boomers.

  • Lol ahha... Yeah Idnt think you know what your talking bout! It's good to be a rebel though! hahaha... Arnt you white btw?

  • Ya look pretty white in on your myspace.... Ha yeah you're a loser! Keep try'n though!

  • Lmfao.. What a pity you are..

  • and what an envy you are.

  • I know right...

  • lolomg funniest comment ever! well put.

  • Tbh, im not bothered whether Im anyones favourite person. I don't even know if I have one. I have loads of friends who I'm certain all like me for who I am. Why do I need to have one special one, when I can have lots? But if I am someones favourite person then that's great aswell :)

  • wow!! this really made me think about some shit awsome video deff in my favorites!!!!

  • Wow,I was delighted to see John C. Reilly in this short film. He is a very good actor. I liked his

    role in Delores Claibourne as Frank Stamshaw.

  • I don't have a favorite person. Think about it, every person in your life provides something different. I could never say that my best friend is my favorite person because she is not my mom nor my boyfriend, and she could never completely give me what they give me. The same goes for my mom and the bf, they could never provide what a best friend does. I think it's more realistic to ask if you're part of someone's group of favorites or top 5 favorites. just my thoughts...

  • i think the second guy (mike white) is his girlfriends favorite person but he doenst know it :)

  • I'm nobodies favorite. I don't even think I'm my parent's favorite. The second one was sad, my jaw dropped when he said that his girlfriend might want one.

  • @BecauseICan34 the guy who ask questions offered him oranges coz he felt pity for him, coz he's no on'es fave person... and then when he heard him say my gf might like one, he offered some more coz he felt sad about him being with someone who doesnt seem to appreciate him.... i cried when i heard him say his gf might like one... =( its a nice story... i loved it.^^

  • Thats sad. The 2nd guy has a girlfriend but says he is no ones favourite person.

    Yeh i agree with pedro. I think it's worse to not have a favourite person than to not be anyones.

  • This kind of depresses me.. lol not just because i know im not anyones favorite person, but i moved far away from home and i have no friends where i live now.. lol kinda sucks

  • Dun worry bro.

    You're my favourite person, stand strong.

  • You know,

    I'm not sure IF I HAVE a favorite person. That's something that made me think a lot...

  • I have a favourite person, but I'm not his favourite person, so I don't care to be anyone else's favourite person. In fact, I discourage, through HATRED, anyone who tries to make me their favourite person--anyone who isn't this one guy. Because they are distracting me from my love. Hey Hugo, why don't you just love me as much as I love you? You fucking ape, get over yourself and PICK ME!!! loL! :)

  • MY MOM. yeah, be jealous! I AM CONFIDENT. VEEERY CONFIDENT. Just kidding. xD

  • Dr steve brule

  • To anyone: Why were you moved by this film? What made you even care about the question, or think it's important?

  • i dont know lol... makes you think doesnt it

  • Do your parents count??

     :L

  • this is good.. made me think

  • @SaturnBlaze The only person who got this right and people vote you down, sad.

  • this video has been in my mind for a long time. and i can now say that i am someone's favorite person. thankyou.

  • good question..

  • i'm sure i'm the favorite persone of somebody. that's wonderful.

  • other than my mom, i dont think so

  • im 90% sure im not anybody's favorite person

  • I'm 100% positive I am not anybody's favorite person

  • ahah.. pretty sure im no-ones favoriite person, :( altho i have a few favorite people :D

  • Okay, here's the shot out of the cannon: Oprah, Barbara Walters, your wife. You gotta fuck one, marry one, kill one, go!

    YOU ROCK JOHN C REILLY

  • I hope at least be a favourite person of one person... I´ll go ask him... brb

  • Are you anyones favourite person?

    No.

    Are you sure?

    Yeah, definitely.

    ...

    Do you want an orange?

    Can I take two? My girlfriend..

  • @Jeyekomon Don't ruin the video with stupid comments like this. Let people see it happen

  • @Ciaran500 Read then the comments after you've seen the video. ;)

  • @Jeyekomon Just because its his girlfriend doesn't mean he is her favorite person. Maybe her favorite person is her dad or some other family figure.

  • @killertike Yeah but it is the fact that HE is not the favorite person of his mom, dad, grandmom or anything.

  • I'm a lot of people's LEAST favorite person... *sigh* :-P

  • Love this film! Ever since I saw it, when I first came out, it made a deep impact. Like Sundance Channel advertises, "It does'nt take long to make a lasting impression."

  • really makes u think huh?

  • this is so sad. seriously makes me think about myself. im pretty certain im not anybody's favourite person.

  • you don't need to be the favorite. you can do something for everyone you know, by being a good friend. the objective is not to be compensated, but to be satisfied with who you are and what you do.

    i know my views contrast with other people's so much, that it would be difficult for anyone to deem me, their "favorite". but i have many favorite people in my life, and i'm more thankful of that.

    love the short film though :D

    p.s. i saw John C. Riley at the bar down the street, he's a tall mofo.

  • aww I started bawling when that guy said he had a girlfriend, even though just before he said that he wasn't anybody's favorite person :((

  • I cried.

    ._.

  • i wish i could favorite this a million times
