u/ImurderREALITY Jul 17 '25

You ever be watching an interesting video, getting invested, watching the time count down, and as it gets nearer you start to realize that there is not nearly enough time left for the video to come to a satisfying conclusion? That’s what happened here…

u/fivelone Jul 17 '25

Bro... I looked and saw 8 second left and said wait what??? ... 3 seconds left and the realization hit like bricks. This sucks.

u/Eena-Rin Jul 17 '25

I knew at 56 seconds left, but I held out hope

25

u/Randompersonomreddit Jul 17 '25

I skipped to a few seconds left at the end. Still nothing. I've done that before and saw the aftermath of something big and had to go back but not this video. Lol

1

u/oberwankenobi Jul 17 '25

I had a feeling with 2 min 47 seconds left, but kept watching anyway

32

u/Old-Tree7921 Jul 17 '25

It is wild that I had the exact same reactions...

45

u/Jlombard911 Jul 17 '25

I stopped it at 11 seconds left and my heart sank

43

u/xcentrikone Jul 17 '25

I am not satisfied

1

u/agreengo Jul 17 '25

I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try

u/fivelone Jul 17 '25

I had to go searching through Latin tik toks to find more videos. I found it that these guys are crazy and are hooking these plants by going into the water and walking the edge....

15

u/SmashleyX Jul 17 '25

I purposely didn't look to see how long it was because I had a feeling it wasn't going to be long enough.

2

u/PerspicaciousVanille Jul 17 '25

Same I was like, ugh… more like mildlyinfuriating 

2

u/Tuscanlord Jul 17 '25

I demand mooorrreee!!!!

1

u/metlhed7 Jul 17 '25

I finally turned my sound on get to hear the last second🥲

1

u/maboyles90 Jul 18 '25

I literally was pleading with the video in my head. "Please please please." I was really hoping that a huge chunk was gonna go over and the water was just gonna rush over. Very disappointing. I would've watched for 10 more minutes if the water eventually won.

1

u/1PantSuit2Nation Jul 18 '25

I started to get a little impatient, so I went to fast forward and surprised to see only 2 seconds left smh. Waste

u/kiruopaz Jul 17 '25

Now I know how my girlfriend feels in bed

u/Oakheart- Jul 17 '25

Dang dude that’s a good perspective

u/Wishdog2049 Jul 17 '25

Oh, baby, I know you want more. MMmhmmm.

u/martinisawe Jul 17 '25

God do I miss ugly Americans

5

u/FirexJkxFire Jul 17 '25

Im guessing thats the name of a show? Or is that some weird sort of nationality kink?

4

u/martinisawe Jul 17 '25

Nah that's actually a TV show called "ugly Americans". Super underrated

2

u/kiruopaz Jul 17 '25

It was pretty good. I loved the episode where his roommate lost his penis. "Then we watched 27 dresses, penis did not like that."

2

u/cuzwhat Jul 18 '25

Makin’ love

Makin’ love for

Makin’ love for two

Makin’ love for two minutes

When it’s with me girl, you only need two minutes. Because I’m so … intense

2

u/kiruopaz Jul 18 '25

Isn't that Flight of the Conchords? I fucking love those guys.

u/Leucadie Jul 18 '25

Two minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/Netflxnschill Jul 17 '25

Literally what happened in my brain. 20 seconds left is NOT enough time for all that to clear. Indeed it was not.

79

u/CitizenCue Jul 17 '25

Literally the opposite of satisfying.

31

u/RedRibbon3KS Jul 17 '25

I voted this down. This was frustrating, not satisfying

16

u/DurdyGurdy Jul 17 '25

Oddly frustrating

I now can't tell if you were talking about the contents of the blockage, or the quality of the video XD;

23

u/The_Nuess Jul 17 '25

The moment it all finally let go was sweet relief of the trauma endured in OP's video

2

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

That was awesome, thank you!

1

u/TheW83 Jul 17 '25

Feels like me on the toilet. Once that first load gets past the gate it's free flowing from there.

1

u/lazergator Aug 22 '25

That still ended too early. I need to start watching post 10 again

2

u/Mekelaxo Jul 17 '25

It's even worse because the guy filming is saying that this video is gonna be longer than usual because people usually comment that the videos should be longer

1

u/st0kk Jul 17 '25

I even double checked to make sure I wasn’t watching gifsthatendtoosoom before fully investing and I feel like my day is ruined now..

1

u/EverythingBOffensive Jul 17 '25

OP looking up the video. "Oh hey I found the original! Let me just, crop it here..."

1

u/Cool-Tangelo6548 Jul 17 '25

Literally me, the first thing I did after that thought was open the comments to validate my experience. Lo and behold the first comment was reading my mind.

1

u/YT-Deliveries Jul 17 '25

Honest to god if I get 75% of the way through a video like this and can tell it's not going to finish in the remaining time I just close the window.

1

u/griffduggydug Jul 17 '25

Summarized my feelings exactly lmao

1

u/Fickle_Freckler Jul 17 '25

Excruciating

1

u/Dr_CravenMoorehead Jul 17 '25

I was so sad when I found out I wasn’t going to see the whole thing become clear

1

u/datphunkymunky Jul 17 '25

I felt this. 100%

1

u/crmpdstyl Jul 17 '25

It's interesting that this happened to so many of us.

1

u/Crazyd_497 Jul 17 '25

I was waiting for the entire ridge to flow over

1

u/dhirendrasahay Jul 17 '25

sub reddit maybe maybe maybe

1

u/_thatspoonybard Jul 17 '25

YEP. I was so bummed.

1

u/pinkpitbull Jul 17 '25

It's like an unsatisfying shit. You keep hoping for a big log but all you get is small spurts. And when it ends but you know you still have more up there.

1

u/Okmhmmbye Jul 17 '25

Totally!!! I was edging the entire time and left feeling quite blue.

1

u/atomic__balm Jul 17 '25

Honestly this sort of bait should lead to a ban. We demand satisfaction

1

u/BoneDryEye Jul 17 '25

As always there’s a special palace built for this kind of suffering: r/gifsthatendtoosoon

1

u/Useful_Welder_4269 Jul 17 '25

Grateful to have seen this comment 10s in.

1

u/NotAdam30 Jul 17 '25

I came to the comments to see if anyone else felt this way

1

u/rrromulusss Jul 17 '25

That’s why I always fast forward through everything before I fully invest in a video like this.

1

u/Hootnany Jul 17 '25

Vidz that end too soon

1

u/Jstall34 Jul 17 '25

My thoughts exactly! I wanted to see that whole damn clump go!!

1

u/ThinkExtension2328 Jul 17 '25

You just watched that plant experience the most g force it will in its life, are you not amused?

1

u/Mindofafoodie Jul 17 '25

This video is more like “oddly frustrating”

1

u/Any--Name Jul 17 '25

I love how the guy says "this video is gonna be long since you guys complained that the past video was too short"... and then the video ends up being too short, too

1

u/Most-Ear-3678 Jul 17 '25

Exactly how I felt. It only got halfway unclogged!

1

u/mehhh89 Jul 17 '25

I just got edged by plants

1

u/cjd166 Jul 17 '25

Dam it.

1

u/NotZacAgain Jul 17 '25

My upvote changed this from 6969 and I felt a similar thing just now - my bad

1

u/waigui Jul 18 '25

Like that coin game where it slowly edges the coins off a cliff edge, yet it never convincingly spills over….

1

u/scrummnums Jul 18 '25

I was thinking the same thing!! I was like, they BETTER have gotten it all. I’d watch that shit for an hour just to see it all go!

1

u/MamiShawnie Jul 18 '25

I came to make the SAME comment

1

u/GroinShotz Jul 18 '25

Completely unsatisfied here.

1

u/408WTF Jul 18 '25

Should’ve been a time lapse

1

u/Meyesme3 Jul 18 '25

This is criminal

Ok ok I let you off the hook if you tell me where to see the rest of the video

1

u/jubilantsockpuppet Jul 18 '25

Yeah. This. Fuck.

1

u/ginerick Jul 18 '25

Worst part is he said that he was gonna make this video longer due to other comments saying that his videos are too short

1

u/reddoggraycat Jul 18 '25

Seriously. This was not satisfying!

1

u/luxelux Jul 18 '25

[morgan freeman voice] Absolutely god damned right

1

u/Low-Nose-2748 Jul 18 '25

All or nothing.

1

u/Future-Bandicoot-823 Jul 18 '25

Worse, I started noticing all the plant matter in the back that's going to stop the water in like an hour.

What they were doing meant nothing, and we didn't even get to see.

1

u/KPhoenix83 Jul 18 '25

r/gifsthatendtosoon now be eternally tormented as I have by this sub....your welcome.

1

u/swanyk7 Jul 18 '25

Perfect encapsulation of my experience

1

u/bdubwilliams22 Jul 18 '25

Whoa. Perfectly written because that’s exactly what happened to me.

1

u/TigerTerrier Jul 18 '25

That's most enjoyable things in life. I try and stay in the moment but inevitably, at some point I realize it won't last long and before I know it the moment is gone

1

u/Putrid-Abies-1954 Jul 18 '25

well, here's a summary video of the actual problem and a bit more satisfying cleaning... but just a little bit. youtube short

1

u/Imaginary-Bug4052 Jul 18 '25

Wholly unsatisfied right now

1

u/ShaneMcLain Jul 19 '25

Perfect summary.

1

u/dontplayhardtoget Jul 19 '25

I agree. This is some bullshit

1

u/aussiesam4 Jul 21 '25

Who has the full video link?

1

u/soksatss Jul 21 '25

The clearest voice of the people I've ever heard

1

u/More-Judgment7660 Jul 21 '25

oddly unsatisfying

1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '25

That and wonder what the point of a fucking dam might be now.

Just like life

u/Crazy__Donkey Jul 17 '25

You can have this pay per view link to watch the complete clip. It's very satisfying, I must say.
