the woes of a parking attendant

i love the mental image of brian walking past this parking lot, slowing down, and going "hmm. ok i got one."

the raw emotion of that “OHH FUCK” is matched only by the abruptness of its ending

After a prestigious career at Polygon, and then becoming a brilliant content creator in his own right, Brian finally left it all behind to pursue his true passion: becoming a parking attendant.

Completely prepared for this to be the next thing to blow up on his channel and for bdg to be disappointed in the algorithm.

The pain… the agony in his voice. This comes from a true place, deep in the heart of a parking attendant.

happy to see the vine format still being utilized this would have done numbers

I can't tell if the signs are edited, the trucks are edited, or if Brian just stumbled on a very unfortunate situation for whoever was responsible and decided to film there.

Absolutely beautiful. A timeless masterpiece, needing only 6 seconds to deliver a punchline that hits harder than a truck in episode 1.

The absolute audacity to make a 8 second comedy sketch and frame the joke so that it cannot be viewed in portrait mode. Take that Tik Tok content thieves

Wish vine was still a thing specifically for more of this kind of bdg content

If only he'd seen the sign earlier. truly a gut-wrenching emotional experience to have witnessed. I felt his pain as if it were my own

That 'OH FUCK!' was so powerful it deserves an award.

Thanks for parking my Truck, Brian. Sorry to hear about this difficult situation. I did see the sign when I drove in but did not mention it upon giving you the keys to my truck. For this, I can only apologise.

i keep rewatching this. i can't stop. the pure emotion in this man's distraught wail... it captivates me

This has vine energy, I love it

As someone who actually worked as a parking attendant at a giant dealership and had to run cars through the car wash one at a time during pollenpocalypse (because our pressure washer died), and them re-park each of them as perfectly spaced as possible, I feel this on such a core level.

These mini skits never get old; I always die when I see them 😆

Truly inspiring, I was almost moved to tears by this life changing video

Reminds me of coming home from a long day, putting away the groceries, dropping a gallon of milk and having it explode all over the living room, knowing that the next half hour of my life would be spent cleaning it up.

This video feels like a spiritual successor to the ugly laugh video. They exude the same aura.

Great video as always Brian, the sheer dedication and planning put into it truly shines through

Normally, one would have seen the sign, read it and only then realised the mistake. How long does it take? Almost a second, let's say.
One detail with which Brian made this better is the instantaneous reaction, suggesting the character was supposed to already know that but forgot at his own fault as employee.
Bravo.

In seven seconds my emotions went from “where the fuck is this going” to dying on the floor laughing.

this isn't a vine, and yet it matches the vibes *exactly*

The “OUGH FWAACK” is so visceral and real and I love it

A tragedy in two parts. Only Brian could give us so much raw emotion in six seconds.

Ah, classic parking intendant problems. I remember when I did that job! Used to happen to me all the time !

his reaction is so immediate it makes me think the parking attendant knew he couldn't do it from the beginning but his brain couldn't deal with that information and just repressed it

This is the story of a man who's found his passion in life -- parking trucks. He wandered aimlessly from job to job in his earlier years, never feeling quite the satisfaction he was expecting. There was yearning there, but for what, he didn't know. Couldn't know, until one fateful day: his ex-girlfriend's father asked him to park his truck for him, so he could help his daughter carry her boxed belongings down the Attendant's apartment stairs.
And that was that. The piece had finally fallen into place. The truck had finally been parked, right in that missing spot in his soul.
Sure, it wasn't the most glamorous of jobs. "But son," his mother would sigh, "you were so talented, selling rollerblades and masks carved from the rinds of watermelons. Why this?"
Why this, indeed? But he had no answer.
Perhaps that was life was about. He had no answer, but he did have boundless love. For parking trucks. Sure, his girlfriend left him to be with a dance instructor, and yes, the rocks in his apartment were making it harder to leave with every passing day. It wasn't perfect. But it was his passion, and heck, if you didn't follow your dreams, why bother sleeping at all?

This is definitely me when I accidentally park my numerous trucks on a "No trucks allowed" parking lot.

such a relatable video

that "OH FUCK" was so raw and visceral and mentally satisfying

Now this is the quality content I subscribed for

Beautiful work BDG, you’ve made my day

As a parking attendant, that “OH FUCK!!!” Really hits home. Especially when I’m standing in the middle of the road doing my job and this car is just FUCKING BOOKING IT towards me only to hit the breaks at the last second and then have the Gall to act upset like I wasn’t there the whole time

brilliant. An utter masterpiece. Maybe more so than anything Brian has ever posted before today. Truly his artistic vision shines through as the simplicity of his characters "Oh fuck" portrays the desperation and inner turmoil that they face. His genius rivals that of Shakespeare

classic short form brian is back, nice to see

lyrics:
tap tap
phew
took a couple hours
but i finally got em all parked
(chorus)
oh fuck!

the most emotionally turbulent 7 seconds of my life holy shit 😭😭

This is a masterclass in writting, play, screenplay.. congrats from France

thank you for single handedly reviving the vine format with this masterpiece

God this was so insightful

Instant classic. I can see myself replaying this over and over years from now.

I was just pulling up a playlist of Brian’s music on Apple Music and the notification shows up. This man is magic, I tell you.

Quite woeful indeed

As an actual truck driver I have the same reaction when parking at a Walmart

oh my god clicking on this notification was the scariest thing, you never know what this boi gilbert is gonna come up with

this sure was a Classic BDG video

Ah BDG
you never fail to Make me laugh😂
however big or small the video is it's always a master piece🌟
thank you dear friend✨

Another classic vid. Keep up the good work :)

This is the most well-composed vine I’ve ever seen

I love that you were brave enough not to make this a short! 🤣

I can feel that ‘Auogh Fuck!’ reverberating through my whole body, thank you Mr Gilbert

That “OH FUCK!” Was delivered with so much fear - as though the sign were a masked figure holding a knife… ready to strike at his victim…

so powerful, you can really hear the despair

That wasn't an "Oh, no way, am I seeing this correctly?", that "Oh fuck" felt like he knew trucks weren't allowed but just forgot

Okay but all irony aside this video perfect captures the feeling of going through an unreasonable amount of effort to do something that was ultimately antithetical to what was intended and then having to arduously undo everything, and in less than 10 seconds. Immaculate.

Simple, but brilliant.

that's when you complete the homework and lose points for not showing your work

🤣 I came here expecting a jingle, a bop, and/or slowly burning existential dread, and instead got a 7 second skit that had me cackling.
BDG, your work never disappoints.

This guy would be so good if they ever brought the Big Bang Theory back

This was definitely spontaneous

I need a 1 hour loop of this

I would love to know how many takes that took. That ending was PERFECT

I laughed maniacally at this. Short and perfect

I'm just waiting for Hollywood to discover him so I can see him in a full length comedy film. And then a horror one. Brian's potential is massive.

This has more plot depth than most AAA movies and I'm not being ironic

I am rewatching this again and again, this video has me in a trance...

Incredible content as always, watched this three times in a row and still laughing 🤣

Usually these videos get progressively darker as they go on, but this one took a hard left into tragedy 5 seconds in 😂

This video was uploaded when I was in the hospital. Gave me a desperately needed laugh, thanks

Thank you for another amazing video Brian David Gilbert, this has to be the best yet. Truly, everything you have done is spiritually healing in a way nothing else is. A thousand times thank you. How blessed we are to live in the same time as you.

Finally, someone else who keeps their mask around their elbow when not using it
I Am Not Alone In This World Anymore!

great punchline fast execution and as always on brand yet so unpredictable

A couple hours? As an actual parking attendant I can tell you that either that carpark is very busy, or very small

rockin the elbow mask

I think this is one of the first time I have heard Brian swear on this channel

I love that KRplus recommends this to me every month or so, brightens my day

This would’ve been in every vine compilation to this day had it not been six years too late lmao

If Prozd still did skits, and if it were safer to travel, I'd definitely say a short skit collab betweeb the two of you would be legendary 🥰

Slightly off topic but holy crap Brian's pecs, that excersize bike really workin out for him huh?

I absolutely love being a jorts enthusiast when it means we get videos like this.

This is one of the most perfect screams I’ve ever heard

this could have been a youtube short and it wasn't. thanks

this is the sort of video where you know he found that spot while walking around, set up a camera and just recorded himself

BDG literally just made a vine in 2022 and it's the best thing I've seen this week.

Me, a simple Australian: what's the issue, there's no trucks there, well done BDG 👍🏻

those trucks dont seem to be edited due to the moving properly when the camera pans, ya know with the ones up close moving a lot and the ones in the background not doing so? but it doesn't seem like the sign's edited either? did he just stumble upon this? did he see all those identical trucks and *brought* a sign? where did all the trucks come from and why were they the same model? is he outside a car manufacturer? the questions are endless

E

One of the best deliveries of “oh fuck” ever.

Bless you for not making this a short

I love how the greatest mystery of this video whether or not the signs and trucks are edited in versus this simply being a situation he just managed to stumble upon.

This is it. The perfect video. Well done BDG, well done.

This changed my life. Thank you Brian 💕

Brian is the kind of guy who walks around with a "No Trucks Allowed" sign for the hell of it.

Ah, the return of the 15 second or less video format. My heart is warmed with laughter. Thank you, BDG

I love all of this...
Brian...you improved my day exponentially. Ty

In one singular moment Brian's soul was crushed, never to recover

God that's such a primal scream. Please, please, please Brian David Gilbert - Bless us with something primal and visceral for our rage at society and life sometimes

How is this literally the funniest 24 seconds I've had in a while? (watched it 4 times in a row immediately)
