promises...

i would like to apologize to all the caterpillars... for exposing how you're all a bunch of CHUMPS! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

A huge thank you to Anna Love and Sam King for not only teaching me about bees, but about how to get started on your own beekeeping journey! A full behind-the-scenes video will be up on my Patreon in the coming months!

The "I don't owe you an apology" video is definitely a new twist on the genre

[HolyDeviant]

"How far would you go for a bit?" one might ask.
"It's a bit?" BDG responds, looking directly into the camera.

[monstormaniac]

This now makes me fearful of the line "...May 6th, 2030 is when I will die." from the 'My Autobiography' video BDG made.

[huntedexp]

dear god this is so funny, three years ago I set a calendar update to notify me in three years to update a comment I made on that video, basically to (jokingly) say how dare you not become a beekeeper.
LO AND BEHOLD
he kept his promise, he truly is better than a caterpiller

[placefantasy]

“It’s not hard to keep bees but it is much harder if you don’t own land” that hit so hard

[kid]

"I don't keep them here"
"Well then where do you keep them?"
*suspicious buzzing from the backroom of Um, Actually set*

[WolfeyVGC]

Not shocking considering Brian be keeping this secret from us for three years

[Sifonofor]

I appreciate Brian mimicing the joyless vibe of a Youtube apology video by finding a shirt in exactly the same shade as his couch

[duckbeaverr]

i’ve had ‘brian david gilbert becomes a beekeeper’ in my calendar for 3 years now and it was totally worth it

[CapnAlces]

"So long as it don't get me evicted."
And I immediately picture BDG on the 'Um, Actually' set where he is not required to live but stays of his own accord... with a bee hive just buzzing away right next to his desk.

[vincentnix]

This makes me scared of how committed he might be to keep his death prediction from his autobiography accurate

[Sonicstriforce]

*I'm loving the idea of him going to a Bee Keeper and explaining to them that he wants to learn solely cause he made a diss track on Caterpillars XD*

[johnblunt]

Three years ago I started dating a bee keeper, and "this song is not a metaphor" was one of the first videos we watched with each other. In these three years I have grown in my bee related skills, to the point of working in a bee research lab and going to university to study them. Who knows what the next three years will hold for me and my significant other, perhaps it is bees, hopefully it is not caterpillars.

[ElementalNimbus]

BDG is really the king of "Videos I would never click on or watch, then notice it is BDG, click anyways, and never regret doing so."

[saltedgerman]

My favourite thing about this video is how effortlessly Brian has captured the tone and, indeed, lyrical content of a song that would have been produced by Outkast in 2024 if they hadn't split.

[SaraThunn]

Keeper of bees, frontman of twinz^2, self employed, mobile advertiser, cursed by god for his hubris. What more can he accomplish?!

[nicolebee]

The caterpillar community has forgiven Brian David Gilbert

[asillymoose]

a bee keeper and the guy in the chair? bro is livin the dream

[joanneberry]

It all starts with that first suit and suddenly you’re sitting in the middle of your hives just enjoying their buzzing and flight patterns instead of working

[reidwolf]

As he said he was half way there, we can thus surmise that in 3 years time, he will own *some* quantity of land to keep bees on and truly fulfill his destiny to be a keeper of bees. (a beekeeper)
