Comedic skit designing LAX airport from @aka__vinnie

The creator portrays a stressed-out architect tasked with designing LAX. Through an internal monologue, he sketches the airport's infamous horseshoe layout, adding nonsensical and inefficient features like a randomly lettered terminal and a space-age restaurant. He concludes by realizing he has no solution for how people will actually leave the airport, highlighting the design's absurdity.

Transcript excerpt

Who the fuck do I think I am designing a fucking airport? Whatever. Let's do this. Okay. So, Terminals 123, fucking B, 4567. And then we'll connect these terminals with one five lane worst of horseshoe good. And then, like, each of the five lanes will be solely dedicated to, like, fucking unloading passengers or driving. Doesn't really fucking matter. Let's actually do some, shortcuts connecting these terminals. Two one lane roads at about half the width of a car. Fuck. Do it this better here. Got it. I guess we'll just put like a fucking space age themed restaurant, maybe? I don't know. If it looks cool, it's never gonna close. Who cares? I think it fucking matters. Well, seems like the layout's done. Now How will millions of Angelinos and tourists leave the airport once they arrive here? I don't fucking know. Do you know?
