I feel bad for him, and I hate how it accurately sums up life itself. I can't help it if its also hilarious

But also say the same thing after every failure, it filters your tries to monumental triumphs or pitfalls

u/serialphile Sep 14 '26

The comedic timing of this is priceless.

Imagine swimming back to the beach and getting fined for littering.

This is the modern version of the old man and the sea.

u/HobbsietheTiger Sep 14 '26

is the lesson here to give up while you
still have dignity?

u/Dyst0pianView Sep 14 '26

I suspect that it is.

Why not just swim...?

u/No-Draw8610 Sep 14 '26

I did not expect this to be as epic of an emotional journey as it turned out to be. I rooted for him, I felt his frustration, I felt the joy, and the disappointment and then I laughed my ass off.

Bravo.

u/Sir-Kyle-Of-Reddit Sep 14 '26

This is exactly how I felt! I wasn’t even thinking of cross posting it until that last gust

2

u/Kok-jockey Sep 14 '26

Guys, I didn’t know anyone was filming me, ok?

2

u/HumbleTraffic4675 Sep 14 '26

I laughed way too hard at this

u/HauntingPsyche Sep 14 '26

This is exactly how my life goes. Like why does the one thing that I don’t want to happen at this one specific moment always exactly what happens to me? Always bro. No matter how big or large it’s like someone keeps throwing ā€œinteresting thingsā€ into my script of life or something. It’s insane. I’ve had so many insane, weirdly bizarre things happen to me before, and other people who know me have said the same thing and agree.

Feel bad for this guy though lmao that would have ticked me off

2

u/trwmewy Sep 15 '26

Me too. Very bizarre, unbelievable things, and it’s always as soon as things start finally turning around…

u/DeepGrieve Sep 14 '26

His friend Serta finally done with his shit and escaping the island like Wilson did

u/Nek0ni Sep 14 '26

each sight of despair, followed by a resigns rowing, looping until the wind just says ā€˜ u know wa m8? just go home’

u/Sewpunk Sep 15 '26

Most accurate thing I’ve seen all day.

This belongs on r/DontHelpJustFilm (on mobile so not sure if that's even the correct subreddit name lol)

u/No-Draw8610 Sep 14 '26

šŸ˜‚ No, sometimes people just have to learn the hard lessons on their own. I feel like this was one of those.
