How to Avoid Annoying People (2013) by Ariel Nasser is a short hand-drawn animation that utilizes sarcasm and irony in exaggerated circumstances to criticize socially accepted behaviors such as self-centered small talk. Within a linear narrative structure punctuated by an infomercial announcer, this comical film reveals the over-the-top harassments endured by a plane traveller as he thwarts the constant verbal barrage from a fellow passenger.
