The Smartest Person Who Ever Lived (2005)
Smart, sharp short

I saw this on the Amazon contest and it took me a few minutes to figure out where it was even going. This boring-looking older couple is bickering over coffee in an hilariously drab kitchen, then it eventually shifts to a series of fuguey dream sequences about prostitutes, mythical brothers, the divine status of a Nepalese girl--but all still with them in the kitchen, and all illustrating, as a backdrop, the bickering that continues through the whole short. The actors do great deadpan deliveries, the dialogue is funny and well-written, and the whole thing is pretty tightly executed, especially impressive for a short. Definitely worth a watch if you get the chance.
