- In this episode of My Life Online, we meet Crackhead Barney, the incendiary influencer and host of the internet show 'Crackhead Barney and Friends.' We learn the backstory of how Crackhead Barney became an online sensation by carving a niche in trolling MAGA rallies and gatherings, creating chaos, and pissing off people across the country and the political spectrum. However, along with internet fame come significant risks. We witness how Barney’s quest for internet hype is intertwined with real dangers to her personal life and safety. We gain an inside look at the ups and downs that accompany being one of the biggest trolls on the internet.

People being shot, robbed and assaulted every minute and there's 10 cops arresting someone for being dressed as a cow!
Well I wouldn’t want cows on the street acting worse than cows. Put these mofos behind bars
@@rohitraaj8722and yet you supported those clowns who invaded the capital and the criminal in chief who also acted worse than cows. 😂😂
couldn't agree more@@rohitraaj8722
I honestly think you need to think thoroughly about your comment
💯
'You know my parents always told me You can be whatever you want. And then when I started this show then they were like That's not what we meant'
😆😆
That was hilarious 😂😂😂
Her mother could have disowned her but she did not. That love folks.
Your bar is literally on the floor
@@flyingpotatoe1299FR LMFAOOO
spare the ROD, SPOIL THE CHILD...plus she is FATHERLESS
She also could have swallowed her..but she did not..
Such an interesting insight. Barney’s seemingly nonsensical performance actually laughs directly in the face of our morbid and equally absurd reality.
A gta character
She reminds me of the kind of absurdist energy Eric Andre has
Nicely put
I’d love to see her collabo with Kanye
You and VICE do seem to think the same thing, that anybody who acts ridiculous while mentioning politics is somehow counter-culture. But barney has no commentary, no insight, just idiocy.
this will be everyone in the future. when everyone wakes up and realises nothing is real except the moment and what the moment contains
Her poor mother
"Can you tell me what trash is?" "You" hahahaha
This proves strict parenting doesn't work
No. It doesn't. Do you know the difference between anecdotal evidence and research-based evidence?
I agree with that whether you were raised muslim or Christian or nothing but in a strict home if you tell your kids that constantly can't listwn too this music or that watch those shows movies they will likely grow up messed up and wild like her. Because they grew up in too strict a home that led them too be this way.
what would success look like? a socially obedient clone?
Not the hero we need, but the hero we deserve
😂
you deserve a degenerate? okay
@@echorzuhh, yes
When trump does it his a hero? @@echorz
people who use this word tend to always be nazis @@echorz
7:16 lmao 'you took the art to a whole new level'
She needs to be on Eric Andre show
That’s exactly what I thought- she has the exact same energy!
Bruh i was thinkin the same shi
Eric Andre is following her!
Come on Eric!!! Invite her on your show!!!
this chick is the Eric Andre getting in people's faces for an actual cause rather than annoyance
Oh, so she’s derivative and annoying? And what cause? Just because she’s a black women screaming at republicans doesn’t mean she stands for anything. I’d call it pretentious, but I’m pretty sure the only one who thinks she’s even trying to say anything are her fans.
@@djandjb1nobody asked.
Thought the same 😂
@@maryissoundI appreciated the comment. Yours, offered nothing. Only shitIibs, especially white people, cosign this trash. White liberals will do anything to say they have bIack friends. It's hilarious and every black person hates cave dweIIing white libs that don't shower and smell like dogs. Especially ones that use pronouns
@@djandjb1
You seem upset.
She really has the stuff to be the next Eric Andre. Best of luck to her!
No she doesn’t 😂
ew hell naw
Especially bc Eric watches her too 😭
She is talentless
She famous now. Knew nothing about her until the Alec Baldwin situation. 🎉
It is embarrassing when POC try to be anything
I immediately admire this gutsy soul.
Right!?
You should dress up and act just like her.
@@noexp7710u ok sissy?
@@nocapFR I’m not going to dress like that but always enjoy others making complete fools of themselves for my entertainment.
i saw snippets of her content but now i HAVE to support her! 😂❤ she's brave AF and i truly hope she is able to transform her art into something more align with her vision.
If you’re on the east cost she has a theatre show coming up in Philly !!! You should come out!
This is brave to you? Sad that you have no real role models and that social media only shows you the garbage of humanity rather than those that actually do something for humanity. Art provokes thought and feeling and is inspiring. She is repulsive and not creative.
@@colbilynn i'm in Texas 🥹 but thank you for extending the hang out! that was super sweet
you live a sad life
@@showtime1235smd
40 years ago people thought tommy chong and max headroom and warhol were "far out, man"
Freedom to do what you want. I admire it. I follow stupid social rules every day that dont help my mental health at all.
The art is in the interactions, I appreciate that she is dressed so provocatively yet can still sometimes find common ground within the extremestis and protesters from any side. Her not having a clear vocal stance on the politics oddly is helpful in creating the interactions that provoke thoughts, more dialouge, and is equally fustrating for the people wanting to defend their opinions against their perceived opinions she has when she doesn't clearly take a side on anything she performs at while paradoxically dressing like she does. Her stages are protests, and she is out in the streets with no control over what her performance will be. People are just as unpredictable as her at these events, no matter how loud they dress or yell. She is actually more predictable than the crowd and does the song and dance with the cops pretty well, but definitely pokes the bear. She isn't going to let the cops not be equal part in her craft, which is the interactions and dynamics of crowd control, and keeping the peace while having the freedom to dress and speak freely. Her craft would benefit from artistic critiuques from other street performance artists to fine-tune things as she and her friends/team grow in popularity to be platformed the way they have earned. I truly believe we need people like Barney to exist and to be carrying on the craft of street performance art as one of the greatest things about the culture of NYC are provocatours like Barney. She is not the first, and may she not be the last.
This lady is the definition of free. She does what she want when she wants and she doesn't give two fucks what people think about her. She's liberated.
If this is what it means to be liberated then make me a slave.
shes created a product. its a business.
Go back to libertown
@@anatta467her business is her persona/art. So your comment is irrelevant. Theres no crackheadbarney without barney.
There's a place where liberated people are free to go to and yell and scream, curse and have any emotion they want to. It's called hell. The proud resist God and the humble accept Him. No friend there isn't a Jesus that says peace and love and as long as you don't hurt anyone its alright. Jesus is the most terrifying being in the universe. He is the one that says "depart from me you worker of inquity I never knew you."
I live in Minneapolis and watched her on livestreams during the George Floyd protests. I remember her crawling on the ground in a Trump mask and a diaper in front of a bunch of cops; it was dark, the whole scene lit up with headlights on the road. It was so absurd. And then suddenly, the cops stepped forward and surrounded her, and she was gone. The visual of the cops consuming this harmless clown was SO scary and effective, and very radicalizing for me. I love her and will support her always. I never understood performance art until her. Barney forever!!
Tethers
Lmao 🫵😂
If anyone was wondering what the definition of performance art is, and PUNK is? Here you go
People being that vile calling her them names I'm sitting hear in the UK laughing my arse off I think I are absolutely funny no one like you, you are one in a million darling keep it up
She is freeer than we will ever be
dear lord, 30seconds in and I can't handle more.
Me too, I got to 1:51 and had to stop. The Alec Baldwin thing just happened, and everyone's reporting has been very careful not to give her any attention so I came here to find out who it was.
genius. a commentary on social buffoonery that everyone thinks is normal. she is the most sane one there. people need to realize how dumb everyone look at them damn rallies. just need a few sponsors and longer vids on youtube xD . plz sponsor crackbarny!
You sound very young
This is probably the besr thing Ive seen you CZcams in the last 3 weeks. I also have a new mentor:) Keep being you Barney!! The world needs you!!
This doesn't bother me at all. I'm 100% for it. Radical self acceptance and expression. We need more people like crackheadbarney. Also long li\ve crackheadbarney.
I wouldnt say it bothers me but she is extremely annoying
@@TheJrockfreak you seem a little bothered
@@A1i3N337 not at all lol kinda surprised so many in the comments are into her content tho.
It’s not self acceptance she wants clicks it’s all about clicks and making money.
Exactly all about getting attention like Madonna the fact that she blasphemous christ is not funny. And walks naked in public it is sick.
I had never heard of crackhead Barney until this video… but holy sh*t what a gal! This is amazing, went straight to follow her!
She's out there asking the hard questions and keeping people honest.
Man I love her and never even knew this was her!! I’m glad you interviewed her because it helps to totally understand her and why she does it
She is incredible I am ready to support her blow up. You deserve a thriving wage and making this art!
I mean if anything it is shock value. Its nothing new anymore.
Right, but she’s definitely turning it up to 11.
She's better than watching any soap opera on mainstream media.
Here from Piers Morgan.
So my spirit needed this. She actually has the exact effect on my psyche that she intends to have.
I’ve met Barney on several occasions, she’s a fucking baller
America is honestly incredible
the US is the size of western europe
@@SammyxSweetheart.02 very cool I'm from Africa btw
@@SZY_yall got internet there? 🤯👏🏼
unfortunately yes
Took me a whole day to process this 😅 She’s successful! Seems like recognition and success is what she was after and she got it! It’ll be nice to see what she’s doing in 5 years.
She will probably be a ghost
Only 2 minutes in, and i am glad she is on this planet. We need people to challenge our reality.
Lmaooooo true to an extent
anyone that’s genuinely offended by this, it worked. that’s her goal is to offend and have you think about why you’re offended. it starts a conversation that can go two different ways. that’s the art of it. She never outright said anything bad about the right wing, she poked fun but y’all do it to yourselves. She’s portraying how y’all look both irl and in person and what y’all want America to look like but in a played up sense. If y’all have an issue with that, that’s on you. 😅 look away or something, pluck your eyes out if you can’t help but to look. y’all have the right to walk around with ARs, swastikas, call people slurs, and tell everyone they’re going to hell but rage when someone simply offends you by not acting how you want them to act. Cry.
THIS!!!
preach!!!😂😂
You lost your sanity every time you laid eyes on someone with ARs and swastikas while saying slurs, you don’t really have a position to mock anyone for being offended since you clearly haven’t conquered your relentless fear and insecurity over people who refuse to conform to your feelings.
This lady portrays exactly how the right sees the left, a gigantic walking talking monument of degeneracy, a laughing stock for the whole world to see and poke fun at.
I’ve been a fan of Barney for awhile now. I remember seeing her doing performance art on the street in BK for the first time in 2016, and then when she popped up on insta, I remembered her. Very cool to see how much traction she’s gotten the last few years.
i dont understand why she doesnt have a tv show... the short clips r so good i always want more
Crackhead Barney MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS!!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Naw, she's not in danger, SHE IS THE DANGER!!!!!
@@chikenfrye5071Heisenberg
💯@@chikenfrye5071
Once people find out her name and address she is finished
I am in love with Mrs Barney, she is my HERO
What's in a crackhead? Her mom's reaction was the real comic relief.
Love Crackhead Barney! Been following her on IG for a while. She's provocative and hilarious.
@@Mike60647Thank you.
20 seconds in and i dont know who this person is but they fuckin rock
After watching this, it made me feel better about my teeth and how I look so I believe in Barney to I think what she’s doing might be good for some people like me that have issues and r afraid of how people will see them
oh this is everything
I saw her at Nowadays, it was a great performance! Stay safe, queen!
that bearded guy is a very good friend
What a beautiful lovely human i wish her the best.
She’s so funny, I love her. She is way better than doja cat, I feel like doja strives to be like Barney
I love her!
Once again …. Why zero links to the person you are doing this about in the description?? Insane.
I found this video to watch because her instagram promoted it, but Vice can't return the favor? WTH?
😂 lol this girl is brave, I wouldn’t doubt I’ve seen her perform in the subways, honestly I would have watched the performance, she’s a hardcore stoic, I’m glad she found her niche, she’s funny and reminds me of people I grew up with, she’s a tough girl but I don’t wanna see her getting locked up anymore, I hope her mother finds peace also, and I hope Barney achieves her dreams and stays out of trouble while doing so!
Not stoic at all but Pistachio is a cool bird 🐦
Stoic?? 🤣
Brave? How?
@@Billy.RipkenShe's putting herself in harms way in order to stand up for what she believes in. That's the definition of brave.
@@TransKidsMafia found the guy that can't stop talking about trans toddlers
The pope hat, the blood and the doll hanging out is genius
I adore her. It’s been a pleasure watching her the last few years
I love her chaotic energy ⚡
She grew up with Islamic doctrine and wound up this way? Good for her. Rock on Barney, spit at em zealots.
I think she felt more free when her father died. Sorry to say this but it’s true. Her father was a strict Islamist.
Maybe she is the most intelligent being among all human beings.
i’m ngl this is me if i was out and active on the streets
Omgggg my social anxiety Sagittarius side is hiding under the bed watching this.
What a persona, what a heart. Good luck with your slightly insane, but important, fight.
Too much coke
I watched 1 video and I was a subscriber she's adorable and a political artist and we need more of them!Bravo!I love the costumes ❤😊
people are more worried about her than all the bullshit in the world right now, I guarantee you mfs will eat this up more than world hunger and global warming, in a way she really is an Artist, shedding light on whats really important and how ignorant humans are.
2:39 honestly, she’s a genius and has my vote 🗳️ FJB
Love you Barney 🫡from Canada 🇨🇦
She’s the most insane sane person… PROTECT HER AND LEAVE HER BE! 😂
Fr 😂 chaotic good! Protect her at all costs
Have you even linked to her CZcams channel?
Where is it?
I love you Barney!
Haha well this answered a question I had from watching footage from the first Trump indictment: who was the black woman yelling "IM A WHITE WOMAN!" for 20 minutes straight?
I love her soooo much!
14 seconds in and I freaking love her.
Same. We are losing our 2A rights but she’s pushing the limits of our 1A rights which I fought for as well.
She reminds me of that key and peele episode where he’s the only one left in the world 😅
If i had to choose broke life but with a normal daughter or rich life with a daughter like crackhead barney i swear hand on heart i would rather be broke
Sooo what’s the end game here?
to troll people and raise their blood pressure, honestly she wouldnt be as big as she was if people didnt give her the attention she seeks
At least she enjoys what she is doing and I do not judge her.
I would give her a big hug and a fat blunt if i saw her in public. Good vibes to her. You go girl.
same here, at least she’s brave enough to make an impact. most people aren’t
@@kelseybarton yes I'm definitely not her.
Piers Morgan bought me here.
This is what happend when the only talent you have is a thirst for money.
She’s my all time favorite performance artist!
Alex jones is also a talented self proclaimed performance artist
you should see the performances of Petr Pavlensky or Marina Abramović
It is a shame because I want the best for her as an artist, but unfortunately, the types of people in charge of galleries or commissioning art tend to not appreciate chaotic and visually-violent confrontation. In these spaces art is supposed to be wild, but only within the frames of a glass cage.
Yeah, those gallery art trends are so medievally old school and boring
That's not art. What a lost confused generation. All Gen z and millenial liberals that use pronouns too. Goes to show you the mentaI iIIness involved.
@@justsayin5018 mideval art was more expressive than modern art most times.
Her confidence is incredible. But seeing how aggressive people are towards her is awful. Love to you brave Barney 💕💕
The weirdest thing watching this is the cognitive dissonance in our social framework. If she makes it, she is a star, if she fails, she is just another Histrionic personality disorder.
Hope she get something great out of this episode. Long live Barney!
The NYC street performer scene is cringeworthy at first but when you see the effort they put into method acting so consistently it makes you appreciate the performance art of it. The interactions with the public, the cast of characters and how well they blend and contrast parody into every day situations is really interesting.
Good for you. I get treated like sh*t because I have a personality too.
She breaks through the fabric of the everyday narrative of the rat race we are ALL in! 😂 pretty incredible if you ask me 🤙🏾👆🏽
She's amazing! Been following her work for years. Everyone should watch her show :)
A person who wants to famous above all else and will do anything to get that feeling, Kinda sad.
So she's a performance artist who is getting the reactions that she is seeking. Where is the story here?
Crackhead Barney is a national treasure.
YESSSS I love her!!! Finally a doc on my girl! Harmony Korine needs to discover and cast her in a movie ASAP
I’ve been following Barney for about 3 years now. I really hope to see her thrive and I think she will go very far
Keep that same energy up for like twenty years, maybe then it becomes something you know? Artists everywhere looking for exposure. Artists everywhere looking for a development deal. What might put this over the top into the next level is some serious management, serious planning, serious long term and short term goals. Now does that align with her personal idiosyncracies? I dunno I don't know her, but it's that perception perhaps getting in the way.
She's Nigerian 😃🤙🏾🙌🏾Makes all the sense now😂😂 Well done my sister😂😂! 🇿🇼
She is Hausa
This chick is punk rock af
love her ❤ Keep doing what you do Barney
I’m obsessed with her
Same.
Back in the punk days We used to call it the chemo cut when you shaved your head with clippers and leave random patches of hair so you look like a cancer victim on chemotherapy. You know. for fashion
Female version of Eric Andre 😂😂
