In a wired way, Morgan’s high school friend was right. She marches to the beat of her own drum and is a proud animal garbage man. Comparatively speaking, she is truly happy while everyone else struggles with themselves and societal expectations. Thumbs up 👍

I love exterminator Morgan. I aspire to be more like her. She was happy with her life, even when society considered her job and life a lesser one. It's only when she started caring about societal expectations (aka comparing herself to vet rich Morgan) that she started to feel bad about herself. It really bought a new perspective to my life, it's something I always knew, but that it never clicked. Also the twist in the end is so good.

Gave them the same name, so he wouldn't mix them up. Smart.

This felt like a much bigger "short" than many of the other omeleto shorts i've watched so far. Very polished and professional. Production values, script, pacing and performances at least as good as a lot of stuff I've watched on netflix !!

That Brandi turned out to be a good friend

"You like your life." Just that hit so hard. Loved this so much, thanks for sharing.

8:45 " You know, you don't seem good to drive...so why don't I take you?" Even my best friends don't make me that kind of offer, when there's a need to do something unconventional/immoral/illegal...

I liked the pictures on the wall of the exterminators apartment: a dinosaur and a 1950s woman with flowers on her face. Be happy in an old fashioned way.

Ah, so this was written by Alison Rich, who plays the exterminator. And the actress with the extremely long neck is Mary Holland, who played Jonah's fiancé Shawnee on Veep.

that stuff the pop singer in the car said really helped me reflect on some of my own self esteem issues im going through rn. thank you guys for that :)

i just realized the short sentence summary was referring to the "accomplished" Morgan. as in, the exterminator morgan is the better version. very very clever. absolutely adore this short. wish it was longer/show. the dynamic of the 2 (half-lol) sisters was great. and well, Exterminator Morgan is an unbelievably charming character

I needed this right now because I have been so sad today and busy beating myself up for all my wrong choices. This was great and the first Morgan we are introduced to and the main one I guess reminds me of Ella from Lucifer for some reason. I guess it's that sweet happy vibe she has.

I'm an exterminator too, and I love my job, I didn't manage to get my own company started, but she did, which is pretty cool. My sister is a vet tech, not quite a vet, but I totally wanted to get into vet school too. But just like Morgan, the exam is hard, you have to, like, know all the animals. I do get jealous of my sister sometimes, but I really enjoy my job, and I'm really happy with my life. I totally would have seeded her place with cockroaches or bedbugs though!

That was surprisingly poignant. It's also had a message. Good job. Makes me wanna write again.

This is so great! "He cloned them, because of love." "I don't think you know what a compliment is." Alison Rich is a genius!

So much more enjoyable than just about any Hollywood movie out there.

Bravo! Yet another example of why this might be the greatest channel on KZread! Fantastic writing, acting, and filming! Thank you so much!

I thought for a second, she'd somehow meet the perfect side of herself she displays on social media.

That was amazing. None of the people were bad people. Except the dad of course. But the other three were struggling and deep down decent people. Awesome

The female lead (I call Morgan 1) is the drummer from The Goldbergs. I loved her in that and was always a bit miffed she didn't more screentime. Good to see her showing she definitely deserved more and better. Hopefuly, this will be a speingboard - she would nail romcoms. I like the famous friend to. 😊👍

I'm a dude, but this is one chick type series I would watch, Morgan (exterminator) is just weird enough, and likable, that in the right stories would be very interesting to follow.

I loved this from the very first minute! Bizarre, hilarious, great acting, I never knew where the story would go next, and it ended up entirely different than I ever would have expected. Beautifully done! Edit: Just read the credits, and WOW! Alison Rich was/is a fantastic actress!

plot twist: her ex boyfriend is the other chicks husband

8:14 "thank you for killing my bat, sorry your dad... died" THAT LINE THO

Alison Rich is always preaching. She's telling a story but there's a moral to the story in all her shorts. And somehow we are all better people for watching her work!

lmao that was the freakiest twist I've ever seen. Was not expecting that

The joke where Morgan 2 says, "my husband likes calling me from the other room and I love that" that got me. I don't know why but it just hit me and got me to chuckle. I thought this was a fun video and enjoyed it quite a bit.

Judy/Brandi Moon was a surprisingly good friend! She remembered Morgan's address and tried to comfort her!

Before I even got to the end of the film I immediately recognised from the very start that Morgan didn't mind doing "low end" work and that she was happy in her own skin

You're the BEST! Absotively loved this sweet little gem of a tale!

This is absolutely brilliant!!!! These actors were incredible, the "bad" Morgan was absolutely hilarious. They were both fantastic, and had such great energy. Thank you to all of you for the hard work and time took to bring this to film so brilliantly!!!!

9:00 haha "I don't think you know what a compliment is"

This is oddly hilarious, poignantly sad, and mildly disturbing all at the same time. I loved it.

This was great! I kept getting pleasantly surprised with the humor, the depth, the acting, the cinematography... Great job!

It actually brought up a good message lol. To just be yourself and grateful for it bcs you won't know people life's clearly. In a creative and amusing way the did, good job !!

One of the best shorts I've ever seen. The writing was excellent and Alison's performance was absolute perfection.

I just read this quote today: "happiness is about not comparing yourself to others", which I do constantly lately and didn't notice it as a problem. And now this. I think I have to watch it again.

This is so good! Should be made as an actual movie with them still as the casts. They played so well!

I enjoyed the heck out of this! I love quirky short films like this one, where I never can predict where the plot is going to go next.

The other Morgan looks like Rainn Wilson!!!! I couldn't put my finger on it, but it finally clicked when she started crying @11:22

I laughed so hard when he was on his deathbed saying “I’m just gonna say it okay? I’m just gonna put it all out there. I’m just gonna say it” lmao and Morgan is about to pull the hair out of her head lol

That was AWESOME

Okay. That's thirteen or so minutes of my life that I want back...so I can thoroughly enjoy them all over again. This was as riveting as a thriller. Beautifully and cleverly written, superbly produced, excellently performed. Well bloody done.

I expected the movie to be about some alternate universes schtik, but no, just regular family drama and lots of dry humor. I love it :D

Probably one of my all time favorites from this channel! Morgan 1 is so adorable!

What a pleasant short story! I'd like to see it being made into a full movie.

I am literally obsessed with this main actress are you kidding I LOVEEEEE HER

This is SO WELL DONE!!!!! Everything, the scenes, the pace, the writing, the acting is fantastic, it's funny, but more than that, it says so much about life and perspective. Top marks!

this hits very close to home, I have an older brother who ALWAYS needs to be better at everything, and is so unhappy because of it, whilst I live a very minimalistic lifestyle and I'm happy with what I have, don't need more. I guess the more we accumulate material things and empty achievements the more unhappy we become

This was very heartwarming and well acted. Love it ❤️

Hands down, the best one of these ever. I almost get teary every time I see this one and want to stand up and cheer for her. This should a TV series.

How, entirely wholesome and well written/ directed! Loved this!

Loved this! Reminded me of my relationship with my own sister. She passed away before we had a chance to be close.

Beautiful message, beautiful film. Thanks.
