A thrilling trip through Darwin‑Award‑style accidents, CSI‑parody investigations, and the off‑kilter world of Accidental Affairs, created by Tom Konkle and David Beeler—a surreal, vertical series that blends Adult Swim-esque absurdity with CSI tropes. The story of a so-called elite team that investigates work‑place accidents and safety violations… but accidentally makes everything far worse. Directed by Tom Konkle. Written and created by Konkle and Beeler. Each case on the show parodies recognizable CSI tropes—investigation boards, VFX reconstructions—except the investigators are monstrosities of incompetence who amplify the chaos. Perfectly aligned with vertical comedy series tone—snappy, absurd, visually bold, formatted for mobile audiences.*This entry is participating in the ReelShort Reel Vertical Impact contest

A tired warehouse worker wakes to his phone alarm on a dark, stormy morning. Rain pounds the window as he struggles to get out of bed. His coworker texts that the sick time policy just changed, then asks if he is coming in. The worker replies, "Nah, you are good without me," and gets a simple "Bruh" back. In his mind, the warehouse is falling apart. Conveyor belts jam, boxes crash to the floor, shelves collapse, and water drips from the ceiling. It is chaos. Then he blinks and it is gone. The warehouse is fine, coworkers are working, and nothing is wrong. The destruction was only a daydream to break up the monotony of the day. A quick, relatable story about burnout, quiet acts of rebellion, and the humor in imagining the place collapsing without you.*This entry is participating in the ReelShort Reel Vertical Impact contest
