Yeah, when you’re wearing what people in 1993 thought a women’s swimsuit would like in deep space, what does your wardrobe look like when that Fifth Element looking shit is not the height of your androgyny?
Ok *seriously* I gotta recommend listening to Chris Fleming talk about his clothes on a certain podcast. A Dutch lady makes most of his clothes. The rest are clothes for women. He goes into a lot of detail about what he wears and why- and his reasons are incredibly non-conformist in *the best way* possible. The podcast is Inside Conan: AN IMPORTANT HOLLYWOOD PODCAST #56 (Although I haven't listened to any episode but this one, it's folks who work behind the scenes on the Conan show. It _might_ be good? The intro gives me a headache, although the interviewers were fantastic when they got going). I only listened to this episode and it was a joy. Chris is _such_ a sweet person in the interview and it it was a pleasure to listen to.
Comedians always try real hard to be relatable but Chris is the only one who understands that I too am often the woman someone brought from the woods and is deeply ill
I had to f**king replay that bit so much because I kept laughing so hard I couldn't f**king hear the story. If I had a time machine, even if I could only make one round trip...I'd go back in time to see this even unfold...and I...have made a lot of bad decisions in my life.
@@perrilewis180 100% Borzoi! I'm surprised more people don't make this comparison. I can only assume the Borzoi breed isn't as well known as the others people tend to mention... BTW, this is totally a compliment. Borzois are energetic, graceful, and long and lanky yet uniquely beautiful, just like Chris. Additionally, they're often described as "regal" and "aristocratic" yet they're bred to HUNT FREAKING WOLVES, in the sense a Borzoi could catch and overpower a wolf by itself... that's just badass.
“That was the height of my androgyny,” says the person dressed in a matching orange bodysuit and bell bottom pants and metallic blue high heeled cowboy boots with his custom pink and gold fur coat hanging in the corner
being in a room with bill burr is one of my biggest fears as a generally dazed and confused bisexual. the thought of sneezing into the pleat of his khakis will be the fuel of my nightmares for the next several weeks.
The concept of Chris Fleming and Dane Cook meeting sounds like a plot point in some sort of Exorcist-type movie. Having gone through a Dane Cook phase when I was much younger and now being a gay, non-binary person who identifies more with the deeply broken lore of Star Wars than anything even vaguely resembling a bible, if I had heard this story without prior warning, the second the name "Dane Cook" left Chris's lips, I would've wailed like an Amityville psychic and collapsed dead on the floor.
He's a large.. and between 6'1 to 6'3... it's inconclusive. (I learned this from his recent video in which he sings the harrowing tale of the pushy woman on a plane.)
Upon seeing the title I immediately began wracking my brain trying to imagine scenarios wherein Chris and Dane Cook would run in circles close enough to facilitate a Super Bowl party invite, and then he mentioned Gary Gulman and nothing ever made quite so much sense.
Chris going to meet “other comedians” as if he is simply a “comedian” and not a mystical creature whose physical manifestation takes the shape of an androgynous elf who plays the xylophone for Teagan & Sara and wears exclusively Teletubbies-inspired color schemes
I...don't know how to describe this accurately, but you made me laugh out both sides of my mouth, through my tongue. Like, you know how you're supposed to put your tongue on the roof of your mouth to fix an ice cream headache? Do that and then snicker out past it, and that's what your description made me do. Thank you, for that.
these little moments like him kneeling on the stool for almost the entire bit just add the dash of surreal and dreamlike he needs to properly fulfill his role as a gay sandcastle but for real its really stunningly good comedy
“A thousand sub shop owners” 🤣🤣 You are awesome Chris!! My brothers and I love to get together and binge Gayle episodes. We cry laugh over so many of the jokes, we hear new ones every time we rewatch it 💖
DEAR CHRIS : I LOVE THIS, AND I LOVE YOU, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IM COMMENTING ON A THING CUZ I NEVER DO THAT BUT THIS DESERVES A WRITTEN DEMOSTRATION OF LOVE. YOU MAKE ALL OF MY DAYS BETTER, AND I HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL
At first I thought the sneeze was a fabrication because bill burr is wearing jeans but then i realized chris sneezed so hard on bill burr he had to change pants
I was at the taping of this performance... dressed as Yanni in the front row. I thought we had some pretty electric eye contact but I could be mistaken, maybe it was just static shock from my false mustache. Also, you made fun of my fianceé's hat, and she is deeply flattered. Much love, Katy (Yanni)

Now that I'm back in Hawai'i, whenever I play this video for people: NO ONE gets the Belle and Sebastian reference. I shouldn't be surprised, but I went to college in Portland, OR at a time when Belle and Sebastian were huge and *literally* inescapable so I'm still shocked when I encounter people who've never heard of them... and honestly somewhat jealous, because I was not a fan (no offense meant to the fans, they just weren't my thing). One big issue regarding the band continues to vex me: For many years in my life Belle and Sebastian were an _intensely_ important musical mainstay, and yet l have _the hardest time_ describing their sound to the uninitiated. I'll ask "Do you know what "twee" is?" and... blank stares. So I break down and play a damn song and... more blank stares 🤷🏻♀️ Of course these folks didn't spend 4yrs hearing _The Boy with the Arab Strap_ and _If You're Feeling Sinister_ on a daily basis (only a slight exaggeration, if that). But then, I do love Looper, Stuart David's side project, so I guess on some level... I appreciate Belle and Sebastian? Sorry and thank you for enduring my Belle and Sebastian Tedx talk.
Talk about the pinky ring Also omg Contrapoints referenced the self esteem tower of terror joke in her new video. The crossover I never knew I needed. LMAOOO at the salem witchcraft trial joke jfc u are wild
Usually, upon hearing a story like this, I'd be cringing so hard from second hand embarrassment that I couldn't stand it. But I love hearing this story. Because it's so far beyond embarrassment. It's beyond disaster. It's just a train wreck, where all you can do is watch in terrified awe as it all plays out. We love you, Chris.
My sides already hurt, I’m almost in tears & he’s only gotten to the part where he’s on Bill Burr’s arm rest! I don’t know if I can even handle all of this! 😩😭
I spent a good half of the video listening but also wondering where exactly his hips were given the conflicting cuts of his unitard and his bell bottoms
I’ve been really sick the last few days and needed a good laugh. I kept watching stuff that made me nod and maybe chuckle. But your stuff keeps making me laugh out loud until I have a painful coughing fit, which is somehow what I really need. Thank you! Looking forward to your special now.
there is nothing more lovely than the writing exercises that are Chris Fleming’s CZcams comments. reading people trying to describe this bard disguised as a showpig draped in Ann Taylor’s finest is just as satisfying as watching the video itself.
This is the event that lead to Chris writing "I'm afraid to talk to men"

Would LOVE to hear more about Chris’s wardrobe if he doesn’t consider his current state as the height of his androgyny
Yeah, when you’re wearing what people in 1993 thought a women’s swimsuit would like in deep space, what does your wardrobe look like when that Fifth Element looking shit is not the height of your androgyny?

The idea of Chris Fleming sitting on Bill Burr’s armrest is hilarious.

I audibly gasped and went "oh NO" when I heard the words "bill burr" lmao
Matthew Buchman PLEASE save me a seat in said time machine POST HASTE
I keep imagining the look Bill must have given Chris when it happened XD
"oh good, the woman Gary brought from the woods is also DEEPLY ILL" I'm wheezing
So is the woman ;)
“Sneezing in a sundress, into the pleat of a Massachusetts man. It feels almost like how the Salem Witchcraft Trials began” IM DEAD
it sounds like the start of a poem
I spent the entirety of the Hip Slip™ thinking "This is a look, honey", not even realizing you didn't do it on purpose. What an icon.
Right?? I thought it was just a jumpsuit with cutouts 😂
"Ooh, a hip slip. If only I were that brave, Chris…" 😅
Chris in that photo looks like me trying to dress heterosexual at a family gathering
chris tells stories like this and i think “pfft sure that happened” then the photographic evidence comes out
I was the opposite! I believed it until I saw the photo. I’m a bit confused on the outfits described not matching the photo whatsoever.
Chris Fleming is the extroverted awkward confidence that lives in all of us. He's like a middle schooler who has adult money.
Chris: *has a wardrobe malfunction*
Audience: CHEERS
Wait wait wait, you’re telling me Chris Fleming is *not* a toy breed?
Obviously full Greyhound, not Whippet... they're lapdogs.
No, Chris is a bichon. This has been established.
He's more of a borzoi. Long and skinny but fluffy
to quote the bitch himself, “a cocker spaniel who’s bi at best”
@@perrilewis180 100% Borzoi! I'm surprised more people don't make this comparison. I can only assume the Borzoi breed isn't as well known as the others people tend to mention...

I stared far longer at that hip slip trying to determine if it was white fabric or ice pale skin for. Longer than I’d like to admit
Tbh same 😅
That is definitely skin, keep up the superb fashion lol you’re great Chris!
The Hip Slip is the hottest new trend and as soon as the Plague has ceased I will be showing it off to all my pals.
6:34 ohhh that one got us, we thought he did that by choice 😂

So apparently the Mayan calendar was just counting down to the catastrophic event of Chris sneezing on Bill Burr.

“That was the height of my androgyny,” says the person dressed in a matching orange bodysuit and bell bottom pants and metallic blue high heeled cowboy boots with his custom pink and gold fur coat hanging in the corner
I'm gay and every lesbian i ever dated dressed exactly like chris
This is the kind of observation that made him write "Back in the Subaru"
You have good taste in women.
My lesbian aunt literally looks like him
I am a lesbian and I dress like Chris
i love how almost every gay, no matter their gender, dresses the same. solidarity
if you showed me that photo with chris cropped out and told me that those people were matchbox twenty I would believe you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This comment made me laugh so hard, my dogs got concerned.
He must have been so worried they'd find out he's "a giant flightless bird with a crush on Rob Thomas."
Orange jumpsuit hip slip is giving me LIFE rn
"Hip slip" is my new favorite term.
i thought it was part of the outfit UNTIL that moment
I want to hear Bill Burr's take on this situation now
RIGHT
I want that so badly
we the public need to know
WHEN DID HE NOTICE THE SNOT. The people want to know
He prolly just thought Chris was a weird gay guy
I love that in Chris’s head, he looked so feminine that he was wearing a sundress, when in reality he was wearing a nice sweater and a button up lmao
He was wearing a woman's cardigan, you just can't properly see it in the picture.
He's brilliant
i understand exactly how he felt though...i definitely have sundress days.
And the sundress morphed into a tankini. 😆
chris you're such a beacon of hope in this dark blue kayak that im perpetually stuck in
More like a...tempeh bacon of hope...hehehehe....hehe....
Oh, fuck it.
Choice reference
being in a room with bill burr is one of my biggest fears as a generally dazed and confused bisexual. the thought of sneezing into the pleat of his khakis will be the fuel of my nightmares for the next several weeks.
He’s an anxiety riddled guy from a terribly repressed religious culture. He’s just as afraid of saying the wrong thing as you are.
Chris you are a witch i am enchanted
The long poodle is back to make us laugh
Long, toy poodle* 😂

i 100% thought he was wearing an orange jumpsuit w/ cutouts around the hips until he pulled up his pants

this is so specific but I heavily relate to every single sentence
I want to sew Chris an Elton John style costume. I cant stop thinking about this. Chris please give me your measurements.
HE LOOKS LIKE HES WEARING THE ROCKETMAN DEVIL COSTUME I STG
He's a large.. and between 6'1 to 6'3... it's inconclusive.
(I learned this from his recent video in which he sings the harrowing tale of the pushy woman on a plane.)
An abstract adaptation of “I’m Afraid To Talk To Men” that I enjoyed every second of.

Upon seeing the title I immediately began wracking my brain trying to imagine scenarios wherein Chris and Dane Cook would run in circles close enough to facilitate a Super Bowl party invite, and then he mentioned Gary Gulman and nothing ever made quite so much sense.
The moral of this story is that WHAM’s Last Christmas is an absolute jam.
