Career[]
Gooden began his career on Vine, making six-second comedy sketches.[3] Gooden notably created a popular six-second video in which he sees a sign reading "Road Work Ahead", and jokingly replies, "Uh, yeah, I sure hope it does", the video having 10 million loops on Vine before its closure.[4][5] Gooden also appeared in Camp Unplugged, a show on Vine produced by Karyn Spencer and Jeremy Cabalona and written by Vine creators.[6][7] After Vine was shut down by its parent company, Twitter, Gooden began posting longer videos on YouTube in the commentary genre.[5] He has over 3.37 million subscribers on the platform as of December 2021.
