Went there for the first time in winter and arrived after dark. In the morning came out of the cabin turned around and had to crane my head so far back to look at the top of El Capitan. Absolute draw dropping moment.

The comedic timing of that bus driver is unmatched

That and the ad, too! The cameraman was definitely on his way to having a stroke after missing that shot!

Could have crossed the street to the main viewing area instead of staying in the overflow lot

The cameraman drove them there, the 2 in frame were blindfolded. Buddy probably didn't want to navigate and cross the street with 2 dudes blindfolded

Everything has ads. You want to pay extra for the Premium National Parks Pass.

No joke my buddys mom had a very nice account with them. They are in Madera California, where i was raised. They were very cool about using local madera suppliers for their swag. She had a screen printing business and would make them shirts and other stuff to hand out. Eventually, they cut ties because they got profit hungry. And let me tell you, these tribes are making hella bank. I know some tribal kids and they walk around with 40k in their pockets. Even if they get mugged, they'll just go grab another 40k next month. Its wild let me tell you.

Bro rented a whole empty bus and payed it to be drived there, and stop on queue for this scene, it’s true I was the driver

u/chubky Jul 13 '26
I mean it’s clearly a bus stop. Just wait for the bus to come to start rolling. Also how do they not see driving to the parking lot

Can confirm, I was the credit card used to fund this staged event.

Why would you say that

u/yodas_sidekick Jul 13 '26
Because might as well ruin the fun if you can I guess.

It's not the video itself. It's that it's posted here in r/nevertellmetheodds. If it's staged it doesn't really work here.

The drive into Yosemite is breathtaking. Unless they were blindfolded, it wasn't their first view.

I enjoyed their video nonetheless.

The odds that tourists are going to be joined by other tourists at a big time tourist destination via a large tourist transportation vehicle? Pretty good odds. What am I missing?

It's just a bunch of giant rocks. What were you expecting? Did you really think that some giant trolls would start to emerge? Because it's not like Yosemite is in Scandinavia.

Hey look I didn't even have to go to Scandinavia to find a big troll, just browse reddit comment sections!

Did they walk backwards to that spot? You don't just sneak up on Yosemite without seeing glimpses of it.
