First off, I thoroughly enjoyed this video of a day in the life of an ice cream trucker. I laughed I cried I cheered along with the rest of the audience when the ice cream trucker finally overcame years of abuse and boldly asserted to anyone who would listen, his right to drive where he wants.
Kudos aside though I did have a few thoughts. In chronological order...
1) You rightly saw the existence of a whole race of giant
indians(p.c. Native Americans) as a threat to the manifest destiny of our waspish domination
of the North American contintent over the past 2 centuries, I will
grant you that - but just think of how much ice cream you could have
sold to your giant red overlords! You would have been a very very rich
man.
2) Bugs and Spongebob No-pants looked more like zombies than aliens. Their cold dead eyes were the giveaway - especially BoBs. You can tell from the dullness in his eyes that he's partaken of human brains on more than one occassion.
3) OMG YOU ARE FILMING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING???!?!?!?
4) Midway through the film I thought to myself "Maybe he should find a job where he has more interaction with people, it might be good for him to have more social contact".
5) Is it just me or is there something creepy about a guy driving an ice cream truck around all day but never selling any ice cream and never even seeing any kids? It's either really creepy, or he was filming in January and the whole thing is a hoax and he's just pretending to be an ice cream trucker, or parents in the town are afraid to let their kids go to his truck because he's always talking to himself and yelling "Ice cream trucks GO WHERE THEY WANT!".
6) OMG YOU ARE FILMING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING???!?!?!?
7) Towards the end when you are yelling angrily at passersby I thought to myself "Maybe a job where the ice cream trucker" doesn't have to interact very much with other people is the perfect job for him".
8) If you just changed the ending slightly from the feel-good evocative pathos filled montage of ice-cream trucks and their role in our lives, to one where your truck smashes into a schoolbus full of children and explodes into a huge ball of flame incinerating everyone on board it would make a great educational film for the DMV they could use to illustrate why it's important not to do distracting things (LIKE FILMING A MOVIE!) while driving.
As a former ice cream truck driver myself, I can attest that ice cream trucks do indeed "go where they want." I, too, have suffered the not entirely explicable, but wholly unextinguishable fury that results from people disbelieving that fact. Also, it sucks when it rains during an ice cream day... really cuts into the profits.
Perhaps on those rainy days, if "ice cream trucks do indeed 'go where they want'" you should have driven one into a mall or a summer camp arts and crafts cabin or a pentacostal sunday school tent revival meeting or something. I am sure all of those audiences would have greeted the sudden and completely unexpected arrival of an ice cream truck in their midst with open wallets. At least as long as you remembered to use the brakes when you arrived, and weren't broadcasting your imminent arrival by singing "Ice cream trucks go where they want" at the top of your lungs.
in an ice cream truck no 1 can hear u scream.
