How abnormal.
WOW! Very nice done!
i dont get it.

I assume you're kidding
I interpret this as a reflection on what our lives are really like, because now, it seems the only conversations we can hold are 3 second ones with less substance than a children's novel. The technical aspects were good, but I didn't appreciate the effort to make the bio toxic cleaner's voice distorted. It made him hard to understand and while increased realism, decreased the enjoy-ability that I like about most films. perhaps imitating the stormtroopers' radio voices would have made the voice easier to understand, yet realistic. Thought provoking, but it did leave me a bit disappointed since it lacked that pristine comedic quality of your other films.

True dat.
The punchline was so funny.
RealBrick, are you an English teacher by any chance?

I laughed out loud. Also, the double-take reminded me of this.

At first I thought this was'nt very good. I just looked at it and said "Oh, its just two men at the bus stop - nothing much is said, and then he just goes away within seconds". Basically: I didn't get it.
However, I decided to watch again, and it was then I realised that the humour came from not the visuals or dialogue, but the questions that extend beyond the animation. Notably: "WHO THE HELL WAS THAT!? WHY IS HE WEARING THAT!? WHERE WAS HE GOING!? WHERE DID HE COME FROM!?"
Then this became hilarious...
Exactly what Max just said is how I found it too. Nice work! 
I'm not sure I got this... Was the joke that the first fellow didn't get on the bus after all, not wanting to follow around a guy in a hazmat suit?

I didn't get it either.
I think this was well executed (especially the animation), I just don't get the plot.
3.5/5

There's not really much to get, it's supposed to be a simple one shot about an out-of-the-ordinary encounter. Max pretty much hit the nail on the head, the point of the film was really more in the implications of the situation rather than anything actually happening.
what did my eyes just watch???
This is a kind of movies that I love: looks like nothing happens, but there's much more to tell than what's shown. It's open to a lot of interpretations actually, and realbrick's comment proves it, although I kinda disagree with him: I wouldn't say this is about conversations, to me it could be more about indifference. Why didn't the guy ask anything?. Afraid of the answer, maybe? Or it could be a representation of life: something like this happens and you're left with the mystery, you'll never know and you'll soon forget about that.
Yes, I'm doing it on purpose, I might not really see all this in the movie, but here I can find what I'm looking for, if I want.
Also, it's interesting to read what everybody thinks about it. I like this kind of things too.
This film gets you thinking and makes you want to learn more, I like that in movies, although it could have been shorter and I did have to go back and listen to what the Juggernaut guy said.
