A MESSAGE TO THE SCAMMERS CLAIMING TO BE ME

[@briandavidgilbert]

QUICK PSA: I've had a few people message me to say that someone is pretending to be me on Discord and TikTok. I am not on Discord OR TikTok! Unfortunately, scammers are more and more likely to use "approachable" parasocial celebrities in order to take advantage of you. Be cautious of anyone claiming to be someone that you admire on the internet. It's easy to tell it's a scam if "George Clooney" slides into my DMs (even though I really hope he does), but it's much harder to catch if the scammer is claiming to be a niche internet microceleb. So here's my (somewhat harsh) promise: I will never DM you. Heck, I barely text my own friends! Sorry about that, real-life friends. Please please please be wary of scammers on the internet, especially as AI becomes more prevalent. Stay safe out there!

[@nitsanraviddaos4797]

Well don't tell that to us; go message your friends! Tell them you love them and that they have a cool hat or something. That's your chance!

[@Imsickofallyallseeingmyname]

You're great

[@FosukeLordOfError]

But I want to play board games with you

[@wumbumbaroo404]

“I barely text my real friends” dont we all- thanks for the warning tho!

[@dataraxia3520]

As a wise sage from the ancient era of dial-up once said, "I am not your friend, and you have no say over what I do with my body"

[@FishuaJo]

How do I know *THIS* isn't a scam trying to keep me from helping out my good friend Brian???

[@skarloey1214]

I see no evidence you're the real FishuaJo 🤔

So, wait, if Briar Damin Gibler is now telling me NOT to send him my grandma's SSN, then who's the Briar Damin Gibler I already sent my grandma's SSN to???

[@zekrua4006]

Briar Damin Gibler doesn't want you to send your grandma's SSN because he already has it and doesn't need another copy. Hope this helps!

[@amoureux6502]

Wait if Briar Damin Gibler doesn't want my grandma's SSN then who am I supposed to give it to???

[@ZenobiaFrost]

Oh, does that Briar Damin Gibler share an address with one Damian Smiles? That should explain it.

[@shadedway5277]

Have you considered that maybe it wasn't the journey, but the Briar Damin Giblers we found along the way?

[@beesforbreakfast]

BAHAHA ‘TWAS I! Jesus _Christ_ your nana is ill, you should call her

[@alexnope1]

Nice try "Brian", I know the real Brian doesnt have a youtube channel

[@probablyaparent]

He's too busy living at Dropout and correcting facts on Um, Actually to be on KZbin.

[@probably_a_person]

yeah we know damn well he's still on Vine

[@Dogw0Od]

YES HE FINALLY CUT HIS HAIR

[@malcolmaaron4496]

Nice try “Brian”, I know the real Brish doesn’t make KZbin shorts

[@hadesiguess8516]

So those confessions of love we had on discord weren't real? I'll need some time to process this

[@TomMinnow]

this is his cowardly way of breaking up with you, actually :(

[@Naeaira]

😭😭😭😂😂😂

[@ellastevens5638]

Only BDG could make a serious PSA about a genuine topic and make it such a banger without diminishing the message. Hats off to you good sir.

[@BryanM86]

Now if only polygon had its original members we could have some great videos

[@KazoooGod]

I wish that I could wear hats so I can also Hats off to good sirs

[@SethMarcell]

Briar is the most approachable parasocial relationship celebrity I have

[@amoureux6502]

I knew right from the moment he asked for my bank account info that he really cares about his close friends

I remember one of the channels literally reposted this one too

[@SkeletonBeleton]

Damn I was wondering where all the wood in my lumberyard went after that impassioned Discord conversation

[@MythrilZenith]

"Even I try to avoid doing it" come on now Brian

[@i8dacookies890]

NOT MY LUMBER YARDS!!!!!!!!

[@annoyingkid48]

That’s how Wellington R. Burt lost everything 😔

[@shinyplaid]

Top-tier educational rap flow.

[@ferisera]

The loop is so well done! Perfectly calculated, though it's so sad you had to make the PSA.

[@misterknite]

Just wanna say I am LOVING you on Dropout dude! Watching you as Dr. Avery Goodman on "Very Important People" opposite Vic Michaelis and as the fact checker opposite Ify Nwadiwe on "Um, Actually" has been an incredible delight. Hoping to see you on more Dropout programming!

[@gaIIowsCaIibrator]

Hes great. I need him on dimension 20.

[@allisonhomiak2336]

@@gaIIowsCaIibrator He was on a Fantasy High live show in Brooklyn shortly after Freshman Year! It's only a single session (plus it's live, which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea), but it's a solid game and a good performance!

Not my lumberyards!

[@HeeCawRoo]

i love that it loops so cleanly

[@NikFromm]

But the only one I have a shrine built in their name is YOU, Brain Dave Gilbermay. Can’t aim any higher than that.

[@moara4144]

I love that you have exactly one short and it's this.

[@veganmeatball6780]

I love how he’s more mad at people not using more high profile people instead of just how people are using him

[@Rukalin]

They could pretend to be THE Dwight from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

[@AidenBrimmer]

This is the best use of Shorts I’ve seen since Brian’s Jorts video.

[@kmart1396]

Absolutely taken out by BDG refering to Michael Bay an as Auteur

[@pymandres]

lindsay ellis reference

[@JB-fp3fb]

What? Why? Is he not?

[@creativefluffypillow]

I was scammed into watching this three times continuously because I didn't realise it looped and I'm not mad

[@5Amigos32]

I bet these probably work better than bigger stars. Like as unlikely as BDG randomly messaging you on discord is it is probably more likely than Tom Cruise randomly messaging you.

[@maddygs698]

You’d be surprised. There’s a lot of old ladies that think they are dating Johnny Depp

[@TehBIGrat]

Catchy, Perfect Loop, Genuine Warning, Politely shaming scammers, Bloody Fantastic.

[@toufoufou]

I think that impersonating you is such a challenge, they wanted to test themselves

[@hazhyena]

Not only is this funny, IT LOOPS PERFECTLY. Bravo.

[@Patatman44]

Dam this is actually a banger🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

[@thewaffle003]

I don't trust this 'cause it's not from briar damin gibler.

[@heathermerhout8775]

Nooo not my lumber yards 😭😭 how dare those scammers try to take them from me

[@DaermaeonBranKor]

All jokes aside, GENUINELY HELPFUL. Thanks, Gibler!

[@wellspokenrambler]

The funniest part for me is that all of your PSA statements are true, but they also have a funny little asterisk for *except Patreon but that’s a very specific thing and not how you’re probably imagining right now

[@dennis_duran]

Going out of your way to call Michael Bay an “auteur director” hurt my film school brain.

[@embyrr922]

How does the rhyme scheme in this manage to be satisfying when it's so utterly infuriating. Also, excellent loop

[@sweetlorikeet]

Your hair is looking particularly exquisite in this one. Good to know that you're not on those platforms!

[@nae0___]

this is one of the nicest diss tracks ive ever heard lol

[@HeeminGaminStation]

I usually despise Shorts that try to “seemlessly” loop their Videos there only like 3 I’ve seen that did it well and this is one, great work Damien!

[@jeekboi]

unironically a fire beat

[@LordMoku]

Damn that loop is CLEAN

[@WSWC_]

His only short is a well made PSA. Absolute Chad

[@alternativebassist]

Watched once for the amazing music and then again for those dms 😂

[@aspiringjoker2883]

This is a bop, and it's got a great message, but the little detail of Feyd/Austin Butler from Dune being labeled as 'Skarsgaard???' is a great touch. Subscribed!

[@thecardboardboxz]

No my lumber yard!😢

[@BladeWinters]

I thought this was just a song at first but this is still good to know. I have not gotten any DMs from tiktok but I have gotten some replies to youtube comments from Telegram from people pretending to be the youtuber whose page I was commenting on.

[@FishuaJo]

Thank you for this PSA. Scams are the worst, and I'm glad you're calling them out (in a fun way)!

[@HipHopHipocrisy]

What a lovely find! Another BDG song!

Catchy song with a good message is classic Gibler.

You are absolutely right To have those scammers in your sight. All they want to do is cause people hurt, To take from your back your nice striped shirt. Pretending to be what they are not, Because the scammers' brain Is one big clot.

Fun fact, Brian is the subject of at least one edit war on Wikipedia & some Wikipedians have determined that he does not meet the notability standards for having his own article.

[@hygiei]

look- when I'm trying to get someone's grandma's SSN, i can't just hop into someone's DMs pretending to be tom cruise because its simply not believable that he would use discord since he's just too famous. you need to scam people by pretending to be someone a little bit obscure and elusive if you really want results
