Skyrim: To Lydia with Love

If you play Skyrim then you probably love Skyrim, and as part of that you can find humour in its oddities and frustrations - whether they be bugs or by design. This very short film shows that as the main character has to deal with the challenge of travelling with a companion - in particular Lydia. Most viewers will relate to this as Lydia is usually the first time you get the chance to have a companion, and she is probably also who is with you when you get bored of having a companion and decide to quick-save and start messing around with her. Likewise her dialogue sticks in the mind most probably because it hear it the most. This short plays on that familiarity well - it doesn't do much with it that is new or original, although to be fair, I'm watching it 9 years after the game came out, in a world filled with memes, whereas this short film was made only a few months after the game first came out - so it may have been ahead of others originally.

The two leads do well and have good timing, and allows the film to deliver its one joke well enough to be funny and then finish, which is hard to fault since that was its goal in the first place.
