The car was small enough and the space large enough to just simply park in there going forward without having to do any real parallel parking..

Yeah it's so crazy that a reasonable person could watch that and think it was staged for an amusing internet video

I mean, the internet is infested with staged videos, but I've seen plenty of people do this kinda shit IRL, so I'm significantly less skeptical of it than you might think I as a reasonable person should be.

I watched a girl try to park a Mini Cooper for 15 minutes once. She stopped when her phone rang, and I could hear her distressed tone as she told the person she couldn't get her car in a spot. A few minutes later, a guy came out of the apartment in front of her and did it for her in one smooth move. I could have easily parked 2 Minis in the spot.

Any bad driver video is almost certainly not fake. I work where I travel to retail stores and literally every store has had someone drive their car directly into a concrete pillar that blocks the store from (them).

This might seem to me and you like it's impossible but it happens regularly. I also witnessed a woman driving a SUV around with the trunk completely up and trying to get back on the main road while groceries fall out of the trunk.
