The Cocomelon bus driver’s long-lost cousin lives among us

Have you ever see someone so oddly familiar that your brain immediately starts buffering like it’s trying to download context from a cartoon you swore you’d never watch?

Enter: Dave.
(We don’t actually know if his name is Dave, but let’s be honest—he looks like a Dave.)

This man, this majestic human specimen, bears a striking resemblance to the school bus driver from Cocomelon. And not just a little resemblance. I’m talking full-on "I just dropped off JJ and the gang and now I’m headed to my side hustle as a barista at the DMV" energy.

We’re not saying this man is the Cocomelon bus driver…
We’re just saying if he ever gets behind the wheel of a yellow vehicle, some toddler is going to start singing the “Wheels on the Bus” and the universe might collapse in on itself.

So here’s to you, Budget Bus Daddy. You may not be animated, but you’ve got cartoon-level charisma—and a fanny pack full of weirdly sticky Band-Aids to prove it.
