WTF, YouTube?: "Jack Looks At The Bucket List" Blows My Mind

I watch a lot of random YouTube, but at least most of it makes some sort of sense, even if it's a commercial for a dry cleaner in Kansas City or a "talking dog" that's really just barking. This one just came over the wires, though, and if you can figure out of why it exists, you're probably the person who made it. Jack Nicholson was in the movie The Bucket List. That's all I got:

I give up. YouTube wins. Since I feel bad posting such a random video that is probably only of interest to serious YouTube WTF? Scholars and Fellows, here's another one that came in today: a yuppie chasing his runaway BMW. Get-it-get-it-get-it!

And just like that, everything makes sense again.

I'm going to have to add "figuring out wtf that video was" to my bucket list.

I actually have a decent theory. This was made by someone trying to illustrate a blog entry with a video and they put it on youtube for the free streaming hosting and embed code, never with the intention of people seeing it out of context. It was really for the 5 people that read said person's livejournal and maybe makes sense when viewed after reading the obviously hilarious entry written that day.

The real question is: how is that car driving with no one inside?
