Career

Gooden began his career on Vine, creating six-second comedy sketches.[2] 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 has 10 million views on Vine.[3][4][5] After Vine was shut down by its parent company, Twitter, Gooden began posting longer videos to YouTube. He has over 2 million subscribers as of May 2020.

Gooden has toured the United States with fellow YouTube creators Kurtis Conner and Danny Gonzalez on their "We Are Two Different People Tour”, which was described as a theatrical comedy performance.[6][7][1]

Drew Gooden was also credited with his role in Camp Unplug, a show on Vine produced by Karyn Spencer and Jeremy Cabalona and written by Vine creators.[8][9]
