Will Smith Hilariously Responds To Fan With Ridiculously Small Smart Car Video

Instagram/@willsmith

If it were a word picture, Will Smith would be describing the entire random-yet-wholesome phenomenon of The Social Media Interaction Kingery, with another street cinema in tow. Sitting in what is being called the smallest Smart facility in the world, or just smiling like he had won the lottery of one million, the man bungled out broken Chinese phrases interspersed with English.

Almost cheerfully, having his fun both times, Will repeated the phrase “This is my Smart car” in three to four different languages. The caption, indeed, is a talking-point in itself reading, “@mrtimwu Hey man, thanks for asking…hope this answers your question!” Leaving everyone wondering what on earth that strange question must have been.

And the internet made a mess, losing control over this weird-yet-charming occurrence. One person caught the portrait accurately: “Nobody does Instagram better than Will,” and with this, there was an outpouring of users correlating Will with all sorts of unpredictables from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. An additional fan jokingly referred to the movie franchise remake as “Men in Black ❌ Men in small car ✅,” which might be the most apt description of everything.

The comments then became the pot from which poured all the jokes about practical problems the tiny car might pose. “That’s probably just to go to the mailbox from the front door I’m sure,” read one, while another decided, “I’d use that to go to the kitchen and the bathroom,” indicating just how small the car is supposed to be. The ongoing joke about Will having to be carted across his presumably huge mansion evolved into a thread with increasingly ludicrous suggestions.

Somee went for the wholesome part: Will took an entire chunk of time to bestow the fan with such a beautiful response. Another one read, “You have a kind heart. That’s why we love you!”; yet another commenter added, “This is so sweet that you respond to stuff like this! I’ve never seen others do this.” Of course, there had to be one who judged it as “a flex” instead of a pure act of kindness.

The linguistic mess gave one particularly creative spirit a chance to write probably the best comment in the entire thread: “Diza IZA my smole car. Wata-Iza yo-za smole Kah,” which somehow perfectly captures the energy emanating from Will’s nonsensical bilingual rambling. The replies were full of crying-laughing emojis and acclaims about the commenter being “a menace” in the best possible way.

Amidst all the jokes, the original fan who was at the receiving end of such a glorious response (@mrtimwu) stepped in to express excitement, promising: “I’m so excited my super star respond me,” embellished with as many fire emojis as one could assume denotes their current emotional state. Meanwhile, some business-minded experimenters already did a quick assessment of how the value of the car changed in the eyes of the public; one noted, “Now Mr. Tim Wu will NEVER EVER sell his smoll car now that it has connection and history with Mr. Will Smith.”

The video also gave birth to genuine confusion over what kind of vehicle it really was, with comments ranging from questioning “Is that an m3 e92” to simply stating, “It looks like a golf cart” as no one seemed able to agree on what the heck they are looking at. One nostalgic fan even went back on memories of Will’s prior automotive escapades, inquiring about that “motorcycle steering wheel car” from days gone by.

The goofy absurdity mixed with heart is the whole thing’s pure Will Smith essence. Nothing about this is pushing a product, there’s not even an agenda, other than to brighten somebody’s day in a most peculiar way. It’s the social media equivalent of that friend who swings by your house in a chicken suit just because. We could definitely use more of that.

The comment section evolved into this little cosmos of inside jokes and sidebars admiring Will-for-instance. The one that called it “beautiful colab,” all the way down to “I need a lil WILL power,” everyone found their own lighthearted way to engage with this bizarre moment. This is the magic of Will Smith; he makes shared moments that bond an entire group in amusement even if nobody has the slightest clue about what just transpired.
