I love how they always find the perfect people for these videos. The soldier looks like just the nicest guy you've ever met, and the stranger looks like a very generic dude who cares about very little.
I cried tears of joy. Touching... Right in the feels. Shared with my son... He got kicked out of boot camp for being an idiot... But it could have been him.
"Soldier Returning From Afghanistan Surprises Total Stranger" For some reason I thought this was going to be a serious video, I guess I dropped the ball on that one.
What a touching moment between two strangers, I'll do the same and visit a troop I've never met returning from Afghanistan to tell them how much I missed them!
People in the comments saying he's a marine, not a soldier. Because of ALL RUclips channels, clickhole cares the most about the nomenclature, suuuuure.
I think we should say "thank you for your service" to inmates when they get released from prison. They've paid their debt to society and I've heard our national debt is huge so I don't know what we'd do without those guys.
@Chomp Chomp I don't remember if that is a quote from the video because it has been so long, but if that is something from your personal life then no it's not funny. Regardless, the video isn't making fun of veterans or their service, it is parodying the surprise return of veterans.
For the first time I didn't read the comments until I finished the video and that made this way funnier. The stupid "Surprise" caption on the picture LMAO. This is real comedy.
Look at how he glides out from behind the minivan, as if he has buttered shoes. Training you can only get from our US Military. Or if you have buttered shoes.
lol, clickhole is so amazing at satirizing the cliche videos you see all over youtube. they're brilliant. definitely deserving of the name clickhole. not surprised it's one of the onion's sister sites.

@@abacaxi4713 I truly don't get the comedy of this either. I have a feeling the majority of kids who find this funny are millenials who never had consequences growing up, and most likely are against the beautiful United States government because of it. Poor kids

yahoomonkeykid as a veteran myself, all I saw there was a man scaring a civilian. if there isn't any more to the story then all he did was freak out a random guy in a parking lot. apparently he even did research on the guy so he knew his name but the man had no idea who he was. that dude didn't seem quite right in the head...
you're not very smart for a "veteran" are you? ever considered this was a skit because MAYBE just MAYBE there was a cameraman filming everything, and the veteran can just break into cars.
djhit70 lol chill out freakazoid, I made an observation based upon the info given in the video, and you never know what skills somebody has, maybe the dude does know how to break into vehicles. so relax.
The actor was a legit marine. His real name is Jonah Saesan. He had been performing since he was in 5th grade and joined the Marines on a dare from a friend who didn't think he would make it through boot camp due to his theater upbringing.
Lol, I was going to say, he looks like a legitimate Marine. He wears the uniform correctly, and his ribbons actually make sense & are in the right order. Looks like he's a reservist with one GWOT deployment and at least six years in.
I'd like to think that when he returned home to his wife, David announced his divorce because a soldier kissed him and it changed something within him.
@@WakaWaka2468 Ok, now get that exact comment and imagine it being duplicated. Place the duplicated comment beneath your originally duplicated comment and imagine it is replying to it.
28auge no we don’t support none of those people!! That’s why we send American troops to those countries to kill those terrorist groups who does such a thing 🇺🇸
Lmao... im so glad someone made this video. I used to be in the army and i had to do these "surprise the family members" parties way too often. The first 150 were cute, after that its like when spongebob ripped his pants. The best one that my unit did the wife knew it was coming and she admitted it to all of us and just acted like it was any other day. She even chewed his ass over something he said like 30 min into the party. It was hilarious.
I like to think the music is coming from the soldier.
He’S a MaRiNe ThOuGh!!1!1!
this comment made the video so much funnier
Marine*
🤣🤣🤣 after reading this comment, the video is 1000 times funnier
HE'S A MARINE
Such a heartwarming moment, I can’t imagine how surprised David must have felt.
But what?

Tears of laughter i suppose
Shut your pussy ass up
