I caught this on the Youtube, after seeing some of his stand up, particularly the comparison of Sleeping Beauty to Bill Cosby, which was completely inappropriate and absolutely hysterical...

...and I am happy to say that it is just as dark and hysterical as most of the rest of his pieces.

And really that appeals to me, one of the reviewers here called it Orwellian I believe, and yes, it is darkly Orwellian...but it's also comedically Orwellian.

And, honestly, I think it does have a point. Dark humor has been shunned by the PC crowd as if they can't take a joke that is intentionally off color and disturbing for the sake of humor.

Even gallows humor seems to be under attack.

It is a political piece...but the main draw is that dark humor, which ruled a lot of the 90s, but seems to be frowned upon now.

Ultimately, I really think that, yeah, dark+humor=hysterical. Don't let the politics get in the way, it still entertains. Especially with the war on comedy as it is.

Supposedly this short film is a satirical critique of social justice entering the school system. However, it just comes off as hilariously unrealistic.

It is not grounded in reality in any shape or form. It seems the creator doesn't really understand social justice, and the theory behind a lot of it. Which actually explains a lot since people are afraid of what they don't understand, and this film comes off as a nightmare created by the mind of a sleeping "anti-sjw", it being completely distorted compared to real life.

I think reviewers here (and many on YouTube) totally fail to understand Neel's sharp and witty short.

First, it's not meant to be "realistic", any more than 1984 or The Hunger Games are meant to be "realistic". It's a dystopian satire. Good satires make fun of extreme versions of real-world ideas and institutions. In fact, the 1+1=2 math problem is an obvious reference to Orwell.

Second, since he's attacking the extremes of identity politics today, not movements for racial and sexual equality and civil rights from the 1960s and 1970s, he would NOT be kicked out of Australia if political correctness ended. Comparing civil rights to political correctness is like comparing house cats to tigers: one is nice (though it has claws and meows a lot), one is a ferocious and dangerous beast. In fact, the tendencies that the video satirizes are potentially totalitarian in themselves.

A must viewing for college and university students across the Western world. It's funny that this video has only attracted three comments on IMDb, two of them in incomplete sentences and full of language errors: so much for clear, rational debate.

The writer has a clear understanding of Western education system as envisioned by current Social Sciences discipline. In this worldview, truth does not matter; feeling matter. Only a delusional Westerners living in their bubble can believe in this. To the outsiders, who don't suffer from cultural/moral relativism, this is a warning for the West and to the rest of the world.

For a part of public - a warning. For other - a parody. Or example of dark humor. Or verdict about contemporary school. In fact, a story about political correctness . Its demons. Its sins. Its configuration under the pressure of media. All - so simple. And creepy. The temptation of the left to create a happy society. New directions in education. The desire to propose equality of chances. And the little hell who has as root the relativation. The student first ! That could be one of inspired sketches about near future.
