this video got me a job

this video got me my job at polygon

this is where brian david gilbert is:

[SomeRandomGoo]

His mentioning of Waluigi twice was foreshadowing to Unraveled season 2's finale where he auditioned to become Waluigi in a Waluigi game which he created the idea for. His plan to join Polygon was a ploy to pitch that idea all along.

[cinnamintie]

I love how much effort he put in even to the beggining. The font and transition, the title, the front-facing camera with bad lighting, low resolution, and terrible framerate. It really sold the look and made the contrast of jumping into song pop so much more.

[miraialam]

he’s wearing this same suit for his last video on polygon, imma cry

[flonkfarrychair]

If he didn't make this cover letter we never would've heard him say "Who doesn't love a little erotic lizard fiction?"

[failurextreme]

Then he made the unraveled series where hes just super anxious about everything

[jimmykimble]

1:34 “things that help an anxious guy like me feel at ease”
Later
“EITHER SONIC IS GOD OR COULD KILL GOD AND I DON’T CARE IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE”

[mayo]

it's so cool how he basically said he admired pat's work at polygon and now they're good friends and collabing on livestreams and videos. we started from the bottom now we here.

[chinadollsyndrome]

I wonder if he feels weird about the fact that his job application sometimes gets stuck in people's heads.

[IanSumallo]

He's wearing the exact herringbone tweed jacket on his last Unraveled. We've gone full circle.

Unraveled might be over but BDG is forever.

[emerald]

Now, he is the best thing on Polygon.

[zacharyhaynes]

I still think it’s hilarious how he uses the stock YouTube editing kit for the intro to throw them off when he actually does some cool editing shit

[MagicalCrow]

Now here we are, BDG is leaving polygon for greener pastures. And he succeeded in what he wanted to do. He formed a nice community and provided harmless entertainment and joy to people all over the world. He set plenty of people’s minds at ease. I hope he does well on his future endeavors

[Wixhael]

Imagine being the guy in charge of reviewing cover letters and resumes at Polygon. You've watched eight generic video cover letters in the last hour and then you see THIS.

[vocaloidisdabomb]

The line "Things that help an anxious guy like me feel at ease" kills me because I watch unraveled to ease my anxiety


such an inspiration

[RageHole]

I love the emotional roller coaster it puts the application reviewer through. “Hmm, cheap intro graphic with no taste in fonts, and he seems kind of uncomfortable in front of a camera.
Oh, it was a ruse!! He’s very skilled and confident!!
Aw darn, we don’t have the budget to hire some weird package deal twin situation.
Oh, the twin was a ruse as well!! You’ve done it again, you charming young video producing wizard!”

[Chomuggaacapri]

Brian’s degree seems to be more useful as a prop than as an actual academic qualification.

[prinplup]

Now, as Brian leaves Polygon we all realize he was right. He and the other folks at Polygon did so much more than just a video about a game

[lukausedsteal]

I mean, you could show this to anyone and they’d hire you. I’d hire you right now. Your hired.

[brennanperry]

Imagine if they just immediately threw his application away as soon as they saw the blue screen and 240p video.
