Man, I drove a rental car this weekend, you guys. That’s right, A RENTAL CAR. Ballin’. Driving is great. It’s weird that no one ever drives and everyone in America is so insistent on walking and riding bikes all the time. Everyone. Anyway, out on the open road, the power of an iron horse carrying you swiftly through the black forest (that’s what I call the highway, because I’m an idiot, and also no I don’t), you’re reminded of all the pleasures that accompany the automobile life. One of them being the pleasure of watching someone who doesn’t know how to parallel park trying to. Lots Of Love.
And did you know that it is an international pleasure? While I was looking at these videos (after the jump), it’s funny how they are from all over the world. The international language isn’t music or love, it’s making fun of people who fundamentally cannot do something that you think is easy!
After the jump, the five best worst parallel parking videos from around the world. WILKOMEN! (That is a foreign word I know.)
There were actually a few pretty good ones I didn’t include in this scientifically created list because people who post videos of bad parallel parkers can relax with the misogynistic “More Evidence That Women Are Stupid” titling system. This is all about laughing at people for being bad at stuff regardless of their gential orientation. You can look those ones up yourself, you racist (against women?).

Not all of those spots were so easy to get into! Dude in the last video is a certifiable bad-ass though.
so you’re telling me people are now filming me being shit at parking? WORST FEAR REALISED
Where’s Lucile Bluth?
Really, Yakety Sax makes everything better. The last guy really deserves to have his car bashed by annoyed onlookers though – what a douche!
Agreed, when you’re posting a 5-minute video of someone repeatedly failing to park (or do anything else, really) correctly, speeding it up and setting it to Yakity Sax is just the humane thing to do.
Speaking as someone who lives in DC and doesn’t own a car partly because I am terrible at parallel parking (and you know, the environment and shit), number three is just pathetic. You can practically fit two of those cars in that space.
I credit my time in DC as the only reason I know how to parallel park. I lived next to a Hummer driver who – daily – would hit both cars in front and back attempting to park, and then put out cones to protect the outer corners of his douchemobile.
I dont even get where the yellow car is trying to go, but those creepy hysterical laughing jovial foreign people make me want to be involved in the whole damn scenario so much that I feel scorn towards the yellow car driver anyway.
I loved how the woman in the fourth video got out to see that she was about 5 feet away from where she should be.
that last guy doesn’t give A F*CK!!!
You mean “fuck”.
well, naturally…. i surely didn’t mean fick or feck or fack or fock or fyck….
I am terrible at parallel parking, like I’ll park farther away just so I don’t have to even think about it, but I am pretty sure I could have pulled off getting that space in that little yellow car.
Here you go:
Willkommen.
Willkommen.
Also, what is “gential orientation?”
All of this would be solved if cars could just drive sideways.
Global warming.
