When you think of gymkhana, you picture Ken Block and his signature “hooning” around major locales. However this time around, the guys at ” target=”_blank”>Car Bros really outdid themselves.
Call it a parody, but this video’s hilarity is on a scale that is simply untouched. What usually consists of a crazy, out of this world build, this one is made simply with a third generation Honda Civic Wagovan. From the cameo of the Fiat 500, it was clear the minds over at Car Bros, Bugle Boy, and Shenzhen Tire weren’t messing around.
From the hooning references to the intense camera angles and satire, the video is literally unfiltered humor.
Texting while driving, and not just a short message but a full blown conversation complete with emojis, all while speeding along a dirt road is social media gold. Adding icing on the cake is the donuts being done around a guy on the elliptical, complete with blazing engines sounds from another gymkhana video.
Consider it a poor man’s version of Ken Block’s famed video series, but it is executed with such precision that a non-car enthusiast wouldn’t know. The enthusiasm and homage breaks the Richter scale, as this is an innovative concept that hits all the tropes we’re used to seeing in these kinds of car videos.
Both witty and humorous at the same time, this gympkhana marks the effect of social media and how it can influence popular trends. In a world that begs for instant gratification and quick firing attention grabbers, we appreciate this video nonetheless as it is an original composition.
Even the addition of the references to Grand Theft Auto put on a nice touch to the video as the driver raced for the bathroom, complete with engine over rev. Labeled with the viral hashtag, this video is sure to entertain the millennials as well as the tuner enthusiast who enjoys a few jokes here and there.
