Short film about a bathroom shaving accident cascading into death

August 9, 2014 10:21 PM

I saw a comic short in the eighties (?), not Martin Scorsese's The Big Shave, where a guy cuts himself shaving, hits his head trying to get a BandAid, injures himself more and more colorfully as he tries to cope with his previous injuries, eventually dominoing into his death. What was it?

Was it animated? First thing I thought of was Bill Plympton, guy slices off his nose shaving.

I remember this, too. On Video Jukebox on HBO? The Google is failing me.

Though I did just turn up this thread while googling. So there's that.

There's also the Arsenio Hall bit from Amazon Women on the Moon. It's on YouTube, but I'm having issues linking it.

Also, probably not what you are looking for, but this featured in the first Final Destination movie. I don't think you would consider that comedy, though.

Response by poster: Not animated. Can't say I'm sure it was an English language production, though the bathroom looked western: might well have been French or Eastern European, though I am pretty sure it was silent, so that wouldn't matter.

Response by poster: It was sort of like that episode of Breaking Bad about Walter trying to kill the fly. But the guy dies.
