JD Vance STRUGGLES Ordering A Donut 

"My family got massacred last week" "Okay. Good."

Shout out to that poor clerk who contributed to the awkwardness by giving that weird creep Vance absolutely nothing back lmaoo

He was so mad that the lady just said "okay" to him be a vp nominee that he decided to bury the staff under an avalanche of okays.

Imagine JD Vance and Tucker Carlson together, by themselves, trying to survive in the real world. I would watch every episode of that show.

Obviously his team didn’t think they’d have to prep him to have a normal interaction at a donut shop… They were wrong

It's clear Vance doesn't see service workers as people. Only tools.

JD Vance loves his donuts like his couches. Cream filled.

Remember when we thought nobody could have less human charisma than DeSantis? Ah.....the good old days.

The clear winner in this interaction is the female worker. That "okay" she gave him after he said he was running for VP is the epitome of I don't care energy.

Dude can’t even order a dozen donuts without weirding it up.

My natural reaction is to rush to the defense of this person who is clearly socially awkward, and then I remember he voluntarily put himself in the spotlight, and uses that opportunity to say some of the most despicable things I have ever heard somebody say.

“Glazed, sprinkled stuff… whatever makes sense.” Dude wants to be VP, but can’t even order a donut.

How is it possible that it didn’t cross his mind to ask: what’s your name? Shocking.

I dont have the best social skills but I'm practically top rizz compared to this guy

I'm autistic with social anxiety. Every time I talk to someone I don't know know, I feel like I'm desperately trying to pass a Voight-Kampff test. JD Vance makes me feel a lot better about my social skills.

Was JD Vance not allowed to interact with human beings for the first 35 years of his life?

In all fairness to JD Vance, he's used to ordering donuts by saying "those things that Peter Thiel hand-feeds me when I get a correct answer on my Ayn Rand homework".

I truly believe he was also thrown off that her reaction to him announcing himself running for VP- it was simply “okay.” I think that he realized he wasn’t going to get the reaction he wanted and it threw off his game plan. It’s clear he’s not good at small talk nor does he associate much with the commoners.

As a former barista who would often work alone, a group of that size walking in would’ve put me in “okay” mode right off the bat hahahaha

This campaign is full of idiots. Who doesn't vet a location to make sure they're amicable to your cause before going there?

At least JD didn't tell her that immigrants were coming to steal her black job

His running mate thinks you need ID to buy bread.

JD is an un-person

" A lot of glazed here, some sprinkle stuff, cinnamon roles, whatever makes sense." Who orders like that? He really felt uncomfortable.

"How do you do, fellow humans?"

WHAT THE FUCK. How can someone running for public office be so miserable campaigning?

JD Vance's hair looks worse than mine when I would cut it myself in the army.

Also the way he doesn’t even specify his order would drive me nuts

This whole interaction is so fucking regional manager coded. Like his whole vibe is he is from corporate and he’s here on a site visit before layoffs.

It’s funny that when he orders the donuts, which is the reason one is there, he’s like “whatever, sprinkle stuff”…..that’s the moment you can engage, like ask the. which one is their favorite, or tell them which ones you like. I know how to do this and I’m an introvert. Geez!

Didn't Walz in one of his speeches say something like imagine them ordering food, they wouldn't even know how to do it?

He went to the Zuckerberg school of acting human.

If they do not want to be filmed, why would they want to be questioned ON FILM? 🎥

The funniest thing that came out of this was a post on Twitter/x that said something to the effect of " I didn't know they made bangs for the back" and now I can't look away from it. His haircut is bad

“How many cats you got?” Ok

I’ve been a DC resident since 2014 DC resident, and I worked as a food cashier at a coffee and sandwich shop chain in DC for 7 years. During Trump’s presidency we got so used to protestors and ringing up protestors that we didn’t do much as blink when we would hear continuous fire trucks and police sirens; we literally would look at each other and say: “Maybe Trump set the White House on fire this time.” We literally ran out of food to serve when The Women’s March happened in 2017. I distinctly remember taking an extra shift one Saturday in 2018 not realizing that it was on the March For Our Lives protest date, and the location of the shop I was sent to was right where the protesting was happening. That shop which normally made $1,500 on Saturdays made almost $14,000 that day because it was freezing outside and everyone wanted our hot soups and hot coffees and hot chocolates (there were only 4 of us working the whole shop that day, one of which was designated to the kitchen, I have no idea how we pulled off that entire shift). My point being we got seasoned in ringing up crowds from all political ends of the spectrums who were fired up and emotionally charged for what they were marching for. When the Covid vaccines became available, DC mandated that all food establishments require that each customer show their vaccination cards and ID’s before we could serve them. Most complied no problem, but we definitely got plenty of QAnon, anti- mask/ anti-vaccine customers who would angrily scream at us for following the mandated protocols DC had made for ALL the businesses. We refused to budge to their demands that we break the laws for their convenience, and told them they were free to go elsewhere, but all of the other businesses would tell them the exact same thing we did. This was a DC mandate, not individual businesses trying to be “woke.” January 6th was an act of terrorism that shocked us to our core, even after all the protests we’d had, because it wasn’t protesting that time, it was an attack on our democracy. Very luckily I was on furlough and they had yet to call me back to come back to work, so I wasn’t at any of the shops that were right in the direct crossfire of the insurrectionists as they made their way towards the Capitol, but I can’t say the same for my coworkers, (although I think they sent them home early when things began escalating). With all that said, in all my years that I was a food cashier, I have never felt even close to the level of discomfort that I felt while watching JD Vance’s interaction in the donut shop. Even the QAnon Anti Vaccine/ Anti maskers that would scream at us for following DC’s vaccines mandates weren’t this unsettling or unnerving as this interaction. That doesn’t just speak volumes to JD Vance’s character (or lack thereof), it screams it. Watching him interact with these workers is like watching a Body Snatcher trying to blend in who didn’t get the memo on how to absorb all the memories of whomever they’re replacing so that they assimilate seamlessly without anyone suspecting something is off. To me, striking up a fun, personable conversation about donuts with the workers there couldn’t be easier; as a lover of chocolate I’d be greeting them with a smile and saying: “I tend to gravitate towards chocolate donuts; I’m pretty positive I have chocolate homing beacon or magnet within me, but what are your favorite donuts to eat here? They ALL look so good!” Like it’s really not that hard to get genuinely excited about donuts 😂. Now I want donuts.

"I don't want to be on camera" "Ok guys, put the cameras away. I apologize for that maam." See? How hard is that?

Damn, he has the personality of a sheet of printer paper, and the charisma of dryer lint… Where are those "appalachian roots" that are supposed to help him connect with people?? Oh, thats right, that story is as fake Trump being a good businessman. Now, to be clear, I LOVE that JDV is Trump's running mate. Cheers MR crew!

Think how weird Peter Theil must be to think “yea I’m getting behind this guy, this is the guy!”

I LOVE that she replied with just "okay"

Vance: “I’m not weird.” Also Vance “What is this nut made of dough that speak of . . . ?”

How long have you worked here? Ok. Ok. How long have you worked here? Ok. Ok. - jd vance

Employee's are like hey I can't pay my bills and just got evicted. How's it going

She said no to being filmed on camera and they didnt cut her out, hope she takes legal action of some sort 😅

He doesn't struggle ordering a doughnut. He struggles in making small talk with ordinary people. I'm sure everyone there knew which doughnuts he wanted (even if he really didn't care because pastries were secondary to a photo-op), and he got the ones he indicated. On the other hand, he turned what should have looked like a mundane conversation just to fill time into the Republican Inquisition.

He is worse at small talk than me 😂😂😂

These people are so sheltered that they can't even order a single donut 💀💀💀💀☠️☠️☠️

Vance: "I'm JD Vance and I'm running for Vice President." Doughnut worker: "Ok 😶"

I feel like maybe he doesn't actually like other people that much, and now he has to really scramble to appear personable because his job suddenly depends on it.

It's hilarious they even put this video out. Personally, I would have went to a different shop and tried again.

He's like Trump, just ordering 'a bunch of those', because he knows it's just a bit and nobody's eating those donuts. They're going into a dumpster just outside untouched.

It’s like a 14 year old being told to read the next paragraph in class and he can’t be bothered doing it with any enthusiasm

I’ve never seen the back of his head before. What is going on with that haircut???

JD "I am a human man" Vance, everyone.

Getting Mr. Burns vibes from Vance: "DOUGH nuts?! I told you I don't like ethnic food!"

he's about as personable as a paper bag. He should have just been honest.... "hey, you guys want to see your lives get harder while me and my boys get richer? Vote for me and Mango King next November.... thanks!"

"Sir, this is a Donut Shop."

Don't forget, Shady Vance is arguably Peter Thiel's best friend. He's probably what Thiel thinks of as a gregarious, socially adept fellow.

JD Vance interacts w/ ppl like he's being piloted by a colony of worms

"I'll take some donuts.. umm... whatever makes sense." 🤣omg!🤣

"These studs in the walls, have they been here the whole time? Or have they been replaced at some point?"

The employees want him out of there!!!

That hot booth in the corner was so distracting to JD. He just wanted to slide in and glaze his staffs doughnuts himself.

I will bet that the advance team entering the donut shop made everyone extremely uncomfortable as well… security goons with their humorous personas, etc… and then the MEN IN SUITS walk in and one of them starts interrogating the staff

JD Vance is an alien 👽👽👽👽👽

God I thought Palin was bad, but at least she could be interesting to watch.

West are these flavor pellets that have been dispersed upon the wheat based taurus? Ah, i see, I'll have a customary allotment upon them.

Vance has all the personality of the stomach flu. They try to do one of these photo ops here at some burger joint. The employees were insistent they were not going to be on film with him. One actually said "His running mate is a rapist!" Vance had absolutely no comeback and he just moped out in shame.

I love watching this over and over! Donut Man “whatever makes sense” the lack of enthusiasm!

I relate to how uncomfortable this guy is around people, but I would never vote for myself for anything.

Do you think that that lady at the donut store just didn’t care, or did she know all about him and wasn’t a fan?

"my whole family was actually murdered here and now they haunt it" "OK, good" - JD Vance

Was seriously not expecting Sam to drop a Dogtooth reference

As someone who used to be very socially awkward, I feel for JD, but I also never considered running for VP of the country

06:40 “Senator Vance, this is a stick up”. “Okay..”

You know that feeling you get when you slowly drive by a bloody car accident but can't look away at the disturbing wreck? This video is ten times worse than that

It's like he was interrogating everyone, what an extraordinarily strange guy

This guy is somehow 1000x more awkward than even I was with social anxiety coming right out of covid lmao. What a hilariously bad pick 💀

I'm recovering from serious social anxiety and am possibly autistic and even my distorted nightmare image of how i behave in social interactions isn't anywhere near this awkward. jesus christ

Best thing JD has ever done

Nailed it with the "Office" comment.

If I had worked there, I would have asked Vance "How long have you been in your current job and why did the last guy retire?"

"Alot of glazed, some sprinkle stuff... Whatever makes sense" Says no normal person in a Doughnut Shop.

Nice to see JD in his element, since he knows all about glazing

He didnt get a single jelly donut? No Boston cream? Apple fritter? Just glazed and sprinkles? Weirdo

My favorite quotes are “sprinkle stuff”, “whatever makes sense” “i didn’t know if it had been here for 4 or 20 years” He didn’t even have to know about donuts. He could of asked - whats your favorite? Whats the best seller? What makes your donuts awesome? Give me a dozen of your best sellers! JFC.

I can’t have my vice president be more awkward in a conversation than I am

Would be funny if Waltz would visit the same Donut shop

What are your salary expectations? “Sprinkle stuff. Whatever makes sense”

If something like this ever happened to me Id probably lose my Job because I would stand there with my middle fingers waving

i’ve seen this clip about 100 times this weekend… this is hands down the best reaction to it! you guys are hilarious 😂

What a dork!!

“So uh, do you guys like donuts?”

He's a freakin weirdo!!

he got so deflated after that “okay” im HOLLERINGGGG

JD has to speak to everyone like hes the one in charge of the donuts

This was like Ryan from the Office just saying "Hi" to like 7 people in a row at a sales meeting.

Vance: How long you been working here? Me: Don't worry about it.

"I am running for VP." "Please dont."

I don’t need sprinkles, just give me Bavarian crème
