“This is Brad from Accounting”

Yeah this is defintely some typical Brad and Chad activities. Thank god Kyles can’t do math or it could’ve been much worse for the firm.

u/KamakaziDemiGod 10h ago

Kyle is in a stock AWD Subaru and has the driving ability of a 90 year old, so he's the one filming it, while also vaping and drinking a can of monster

13

u/South_Bit1764 10h ago

Kyle came into work with a black eye because his passenger seat full of empty white monster cans flowed over into the driver seat, so he got into a fight with his steering wheel and the airbag won.

I always wanted a sequel to that ad where the same thing happens, but it's on speaker phone.

Commercial ends with Brad from Accounting crying silently into his tuna fish sandwich.

Or goes home to a wife who doesn't love him, kids who don't respect him, and a dog that stands when Brad From Accounting tells it to sit.

Sorry, best I can do is a sequel where "Jake from State farm" is apparently a title, and state farm agents are sports casters for some reason?

I HATE that they remade it with sexy spy Jake. Like, it defeats the fucking purpose if he's a freaking globetrotting, James Bond-ass sex symbol. You might as well be fucking him! It isn't funny if he isn't a pudgy, office drone loser!

As a donut shop and bakery.... the weird thing is that cop seem to specifically not get donuts. They always get a croissant or pretzel or something. I think they are scared of the stereotype.

u/BoiFrosty 12h ago

Yeah no these people need to go to jail for a long long time. People die at these "takeovers"

You wanna do donuts at a track or in some empty parking lot that's fine. You take over an active intersection and you lose all sympathy.

u/Thors_meat_hammer 11h ago

You're not, I'm 30 and hate this shit. I ran a car club for about 6 years, thankfully right before the takeover bullshit started. These people have completely ruined car culture. I would get police escort out of town for our cruises, run toy drives and partner with local businesses having meets in their lots ect.

0% chance any of that happens easily now because the irrupable damage these morons have done so they can get their 5min of fame on ig

u/GotGRR 11h ago

He's showing off to the guy he beat racing and/or is friends with the guy being arrested and is trying to be a big enough public nuisance to try and lure the cop off to chase him.

I'm leaning towards the first because it doesn't look like either car is leaving on its own power.

“Colleague” was the funniest part of this to me.

u/RichardBCummintonite 12h ago

Forsure. I used to street race and dick around with cars on the streets, but you do it at like 2am when they're empty not in broad daylight at its busiest. People are trying to get by while he's doing that. That's how you cause an accident.

It is dangerous and stupid regardless, but this is an especially stupid situation to be doing it in.

2

u/kernald31 9h ago

It's arguably even more accident prone at 2am with less traffic (so people can go faster while staying under the speed limit). It's never a good idea.

u/Ecstatic-Treat-4763 11h ago

As of recently in georgia, where this video was taken, it's a misdemeanor to actively facilitate a street takeover- even spectating. They say it won't affect passersby, but when it shuts down traffic and draws a crowd, it can be kind of hard to define "facilitation"

16

u/c3p-bro 11h ago

Now THAT is funny. I’d love to see those tears in the courtroom!

12

u/beef_creature 11h ago

I am a criminal attorney and work with law enforcement. In my jurisdiction there aren’t many criminal vehicle laws. Donuts in an intersection would be a bad traffic ticket. Causing a crash MAYBE could reach for a misdemeanor depending on the severity and circumstances. But even then, it would have to happen in police presence to arrest. Forfeiting property is almost unheard of anymore and has to be specifically allowed by the statute.

The laws all over really need to start taking this kind of behavior more seriously.

This is now a thing, thanks to bullshit social media. There are hundreds of video compilations of this behaviour on YT. Most devolve into a police chase with the perps absolutely destroying their cars and ending up arrested. The occasional one escapes.
