Arroseur et arrosé

This rip-off/remake took the original comedy film bit from "L'Arroseur arrosé"(1895) and re-did it, but just maybe slightly better. While the staging is a little worse at times, and thus making me question if the gardener has no peripheral vision, but the physical comedy just seems to play out better. Although the remake is certainly aided by the lack of awkward child spanking, the chase and revenge hose attack of the remake are just a bit more satisfying of a conclusion.

This is so delightfully bad it somehow becomes good. It has child abuse, a horrible prank and the kid actually stares at the camera, all in 50 seconds.

What can I say, it's a 1 minute gag, the earliest comedy short.

Lumiere steps out of their comfort zone.

A pretty funny gag.

People bitch about remakes now, at least now they wait more than a fucking year. Sprinkler Sprinkled indeed.

Ya I'm pretty sure this is the second time this video is on here

An epic tale of water, hoes (ups, hoses), love and betrayal!

Marginally better than the 1895 Lumiere version, which this shamelessly rips off.

Nice to see the development from only depicting things happening to telling a tale.

Not only were there remakes in the beginning of film, but most of the time they weren't as good as the originals.

That kid had to cool off, and he did yo

no.

Getting old dudes wet must have been a popular pastime around the turn of the century. Yet another "sprinkler sprinkled" gag.

Fuckin' remakes, man.

L'Arrosseur Arrossé begins to make you wonder about Auguste and Louis, and it cannot help but guide us to the edge of an opening sentence in some great revenge epic. The fragments are calm, removed, but trembling with autencity - you feel the light and the sudden trick that is being played with time where a shot or a "snap" may become emblematic. And so, all at once, humble duration is a sea of metaphors. Story is as long and twisty as hose. It goes on forever.

Yep.

No big deal.
