American Videographer REACTS to Ren & Sam Tompkins "Blind Eyed ft Angry Car Park Attendent"

[@ready__to__fall]

‘I feel like I'm always being chased by the devil‘ … while being chased by the car park attendant … 😂

[@coleeg69]

I love how when the guy was kicking them out Sam stopped kinda singing and REN just looks at the camera and started his verse like nothing lol. Love it!

[@jameslitzinger6932]

Yeah, that's the best thing about Ren. Won't let a parking lot attendant or broken string get in the way of a magical creation.

[@dawnpatterson8708]

This one is SO fun. It's like two friends got up one morning and said "You know, that would sound cool." They grabbed their fried with a camera and set off. I have never seen two guys having MORE fun getting kicked out of somewhere. Can't wait to see the reaction.

[@alexiaspaedt-mcintosh5311]

This one always makes me smile... It just shows how freaking talented they are to keep going and us still hooked!

[@joeesparks7]

It makes me smile too Alexia..."still hooked" after my fishing metaphor, I see what u did there!

Respect for the "Ren Samwich"!

[@bevc5349]

Yes, I love that! ❤

[@adwil7196]

Thanks again Joe. This video is the reason Ren sells an angry carpark assistant figure on his store. That guy is part of Ren history and probably doesnt know it. Love the chemistry between Sam and Ren in this. You can tell they're good mates. Also, in the uk we would call that carpark guy a "jobsworth".(Well i probably would have called him something different but i will leave that to your imagination.) Defenition - A jobsworth is a person who uses the (typically small) authority of their job in a deliberately uncooperative way, or who seemingly delights in acting in an obstructive or unhelpful manner. It characterises one who upholds petty rules even at the expense of effectiveness or efficiency.

[@bevc5349]

👍😁

[@KittyInTheGarden]

I reckon with how well known Ren already seems to be around Brighton and how he is blowing up worldwide, if that guy doesn't already know about the figurine he soon will do! I feel a bit sorry for him as well as agreeing with you

[@rebeccaburnell9319]

That's a REALLY useful/worthwhile piece of vocabulary.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

I'm so glad they kept playing and kept filming and then published this for our enjoyment.

[@ancltube]

This is such a wonderfully amazing performance and I really liked you reaction to it. ❤ Too bad that you missed the ending though; Those last 6 seconds is ending the performance perfectly..

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

I was yelling"No, don't stop there!" 😂

[@DogDocKat]

Gotta love a Ren Sam-wich 😂😂. The fact that they can sound this good just wandering through a parking garage is such a testament to their talent. Love these guys so much! Great reaction as usual Joe E ❤

[@jamesh2401]

Sometimes I'm sat at home and just randomly say "coffee sip, coffee sip." So cheers for that. 😂

[@amandacollins2854]

I love the way the film boys slide in an protect the performers backs, it shows a lot of respect between them . I think this is the same carpark that Flackerzphotoes filmed The GhostOf Carla Parks , they were talking about it in the begining of the film and Vik said he was a friends with the carpark attendant now, so perhaps since Ren made him famous and he has his own commemative figurine, he has become a little more friendly. I think there are quite a lot of girls wouldn't mind being in that sam-wich

[@badsabre5917]

I was exited to see you break this version down. You should do Ren - Patience where he has brown hair and is sitting on a couch or bed. It was part of a documentary but they made a video.

[@tonywalsh6054]

Seeing you finally react to this made me stupid happy for some reason bro. 😂

[@DusCostea-kt1dg]

Love your enthusiasm for these 2 Greats . With REN it's always Best to let it play out to the very end . Often a little nugget too be had shame you missed it 👍😅🙏

[@ericcecil989]

I love the sheer joy and love you have for these two. It radiates out of you. and how you know and anticipate every note as you've been listening in your own time 👍👍🔥🔥

[@jimmyhughes5392]

i'd definitely call this more of a duet than a feature personally

[@llchristensen77]

The confusion in your voice when you say "angry car park attendant" 😂😂😂

[@margaritasaloscerdos5]

I knew you'd love this one but what I didn't know is I was going to enjoy much more seeing you having so much fun with it! but tbh they're hilarious and unique. One thing that never stops to impress me in this one is the perfect "divine" timing for everything that happens FROM the moment they're kicked out: "the devil is chasing me". That guy after them. when they get into the stairs. The acoustics when the song starts speeding up, then walking flat again and Sam singing back to the camera but anyway his voice echoing in the parking lot. The string breaks going down, rapping, Sam behind the column and.... they just get to the exit door when the song is finishing!!! like really? wouldn't have turned out that perfect if planned. And we are kind cos you are kind Joe. Love to all of you beautiful souls!

[@SkaterWillsy]

Reminds me of younger years being kicked out of car parks skateboarding!

[@REN4eva]

Skirrrt! 😂

[@jenniferedwards9005]

Also the best is Ren made an angry car park character figurines he sells with his other characters..lol. that cracks me up every time I see it...

[@lisadavenport2390]

skiirrt and Ren SaMwich . 😂lol This is one of my faves of all Sam Sam and Ren. The fact they kept going and singing in spite of it. Thank you Mr Joe E Sparks. You know with me going thru my lyme🦠💚treatments from my bed this gives me some relief. You and Mr Black P are my fave reactors now. You seem like the music 🎶 moves you the way it does me. Btw same on the fishing 🎣 for me. 😊😊😊😊😊 💚💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏 Ty for making my life better

[@hamishscreen2268]

@lisadavenport2390 Let me be your first comment, i would love for ren to start a support group sort of thing for lyme disease one day he and eveyone like him including you all suffering with this horrible illness could inspire the whole world, much love to you

[@blackberrystag]

Some of my friends got together in a car park and filmed a very short horror movie. So we had fake blood everywhere, people screaming and being fake stabbed and stuff. It was one in the morning, and luckily nobody investigated. By the end of it, we had fake blood all over the front of our car, with bloody handprints up the side. It looked like we'd run someone over multiple times. We had water with us, so we cleaned up the blood on the ground, but that took all the water we had, and our car was still a murder scene. So we had to drive to a friends house (with one headlight pink because of the blood), slip the car into the back alley, and use our friends hose to wash the car off, at 3am, giggling our butts off, trying not to get caught. On the way there, we passed one car, and we turned in that car's direction, so this random dude saw the ENTIRE front and side of bloody art-scene, and he looked... dumb-founded. I don't know if he called the cops. If he did, they didn't find us, and we never heard anything about it. But it was hilarious.

[@Shiroar]

Yessss! Been hoping you would check this out. And I love that you’re doing it after the official MV! Not just because the studio version is great but it also means you can really appreciate what they’re doing here with the singing. This is my favourite version though cause it’s just mind blowing how casually they’re killing the song while stuff goes wrong and they’re walking around. The talent it takes to just have fun with it and it comes out sounding like this? Insane. Plus their chemistry is great. Just two friends having fun in a car park 😂 And Ren taking the lead with a bit of rebellious attitude. Sam looks like he was ready to just stop when the car park attendant showed up and then got surprised by Ren continuing without batting an eye 😅 He followed along perfectly after that though. Makes you wonder how much of the magic that happens in collaborations with Ren is due to his personality and vibe… Just like his power to pull us in with his performances (something about this man just demands attention), maybe he has an infectious energy about him that pulls the best out of other artists? He is definitely something special 🐰🕳️

[@MissMeKate]

This one always makes me laugh. They just cheekily keep going and are as good as ever.

[@Mancjorot]

That was a great reaction as always, l knew you'd love the comedic aspect Joe E 😂. Would of been hilarious if one of Ren's crew pulled out a ticket for a space, funny to see what the car park attendant would have said then 🤣🤣🤣.

[@heartwork8318]

This was epic! Sam can be so funny! I love that they just having fun with it! Love the fishing metaphor 😁❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

[@SammiJK]

Love it - thanks! they have such fun, so cool to see :-)

[@redangel169]

Their amusement isn't even subtle. It cracks me up.

Whenever I see this, I always wish that car park attendant knew that he was made into one of Ren's toy figures.

[@googleaccount4159]

Even though you’re a grown ass man with funko pops or whatever they’re called, I really enjoyed your reaction. Well done for admitting that in the same situation you would’ve shut the camera off and missed this gem of a performance too.

[@sarahmmedia]

YES, I was waiting for you to check this one out. It's such a funny video but they keep on key,on beat, don't miss a note...it's mad.

[@micksimonmusic]

Love it 🙌 You definitely need the Car Park Attendant toy from Ren’s merch store for your shelf!

[@Emilie-one]

I have seen this so many times. I just love that they just keep on going …and they crack me up. This song though is one of my favorites …I always love watching your reactions. If you haven’t already, check out the song “Voila “by Emma Kok a 15 yr old girl playing with andre Rieu. it is in French but oh my gosh.. I cry every time… and I don’t speak French. I did look up the lyrics though. I think as an empath and someone who loves music, you might like it…

[@barbarahatcher5942]

Always so fun to watch you Joe E! I always think about how hard it is to walk and sing and they killed it.

[@Alien64E]

one of my favorites and this version especially!

[@iamsquatty]

This one is great! I dont think youve done this one but the Music Crowns version of this song is my favorite. Its live and acoustic as well💜💜

[@LadyGX]

Agree. It's the best, for sure.

[@phil1500]

its less 'live' in that its definitely audio balanced in post, but then you get those glorious foot stomps out of it and everything is real crisp, they do good work over there. Definitely the best rendition of the song though, sam really shines there

[@sistermoon1970]

You crack me up 🤣 this was my first introduction to Ren some years ago, and still one of my favourite videos

[@AK_J.Reed24]

I love how they just say fuck it, and keep going after snapping a guitar string

[@67goat]

All four versions (busking, official video, car park, and the MC Sessions) are great in their own respects. But I think the MC Sessions version is the best in terms of singing and clear mic recording. If you haven't checked that one, it's a good one. Also, I think everybody else was ready to pack it up, but Ren was like "f' it" and just kept going.

[@coleeg69]

I was just commenting on Black Pegasus's new video about reacting to this! You reading my mind!

[@ThroughGreyEyes]

My favorite performance from both of them. And I've heard every Ren song. 🫀

[@melindaphillips7356]

[@Jillightful1]

Also great job by Ren running around the car park with no strap on that guitar. It's part of his body at this point. With all of the busking they have done they are unstoppable. Broken strings and all.

[@voxmagnetic6177]

I think the parking attendant injected a whole tangent story line to the video. see how when he entered the scene it forced all the movement and made it flow? He couldn't have written it better! (of course it wasn't planned;)

[@williamalexander7481]

This video is always fun.

[@KittyInTheGarden]

😂 Loved the dad puns and the extended metaphor 👍 Pretty sure this song is a collaboration and not Ren's song featuring Sam. On their MC sessions version of this that's what they said, at least. My understanding of busking wouldn't include this because they're not on the street trying to catch an audience, and they don't have an open guitar case or whatever for donations. Not sure what the dictionary would say 🤷‍♀ So looking forward to the interview.

[@rebeccaburnell9319]

Yep - at least in my experience loving indie and unsigned artists in Canada in the 1980s + 1990s: Busking is a stripped-down, unpublicized performance (I know in the era of social media things have changed) in a public space with so seating (except for the shape of whatever urban infrastructure is in the vicinity), usually outside (tho in some circumstances you can arrange to be allowed to busk in some malls and markets), with a guitar case (or other "box") where people can toss money if they're appreciative (even if they can't slow down and stop as they walk by). Virtually ALWAYS in a place where there's CONSTANT pedestrian traffic, or you don't accumulate much in the guitar case/don't get much exposure. It's the original "pop-up" installation. ... that was the understanding of busking here, in that era, anyway.

[@Plague073]

For the algorithm

[@theredbarron100]

Not sure if you’ve seen the Music Crowns version but if not it’s the best version IMO.

[@Gazzeroo]

Great reaction to a great performance/song.... but you missed the last 'harmonious' 🤪 chord on Ren's 4 string guitar at the very end of the vid. I'm sure you are itching as much as the rest of us for Money Game Pt3.
