“Go to bed Chrysanthemum” had me dying. Her comedy is absolutely hysterical!
That whole bit was so funny 😂
She's the best!! 😭🤣🤣❤️
I was SNORTING laughing so hard oml 🤣
😂😂😂
Hahaha I busted out laughing saying not chrysanthemum! 🤣
The dumbing down of humanity is definitely a thing.
100% !!! 😂😂😂
Yes!
I’ll vouch for this! 💯
It is. We’re dumbing down every minute of every day.
It's disheartening.
Being able to do this without feeling like a complete idiot is a talent in itself.
THIS. Shameless. Unbelievable.
If I was making thousands of dollars a day, I would not feel like an idiot.
🥴🤡💀
🤣🤦♂️😵🗿
Oh no they are not idiots , they are just exploiting the stupid people that follow them. There is that saying a fool and his money are easily separated. These people are actually young entrepreneurs providing a service to people who don't value there time or money. If it didn't work they wouldn't be famous but hey that's the internet and people who don't think for you .
When I left retail, I made a promise to myself to never again be an NPC for money. Now it’s a trend. What the heck is this world?
God it's how I feel waitressing.
Capitalism
"Just because you can, doesn't mean you should" came to mind so many times.
Its recession so 😭
They do this just cuz they want money which is kinda valid imo but also pretty sad
@@ness7342 I am in poverty too. It's the apostle Paul's words from:
1 Corinthians 6:12 KJV
12 "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."
I can't go in front of a camera either. Maybe that's a good thing.
Yeah like seriously 😒 it is so cringe worthy maybe people could act like blow up sex dolls...🙄..I mean we all need money but come on self respect is really important...
@@jennifersullivan4823 100% exactly. Self respect is sadly lacking.
“Stop it. Get some help” really got me 💀😂
Same 👍
😂😂😂
I love how Jennifer Coolidge is your spirit animal who comes out to play when there's something silly to impersonate.
My toxic trait is thinking I can do it better than most of the Tiktokers she showed.
Hahahah I do that too. Like dude I could do that! Then cue me trying for 1 minute and I don’t feel like it anymore 😂
The only one I’m confident I could be better than is Trisha Paytas 😂😂😂
The Popcorn emoji in TikTok is worth $25. I can’t even with this trend, that’s so much to send someone imitating a background character. 😂
It's probably £30 or smt
Wow.....😮....
Yo that's why they're popping the corn with the straightener!
The tiktokr prob only gets 10 of that... But still
25 dollars to watch a conventionally attractive lady act like a gif? I guess if that's what you want to spend your money on, that's your business, but I can't say that I get it.
My role as a person in customer service is to be an NPC. For reference, I'm a butcher at a grocery store. I literally have pre determined scripts. For answering the phone, taking custom orders, and basic interactions, I'm just recycling the same script over and over. Lol.
I work phone tech support and regularly get people a few times a week at least asking if I'm a robot. and when someone knocks me off my scripted parts I get so lost on what to say next lol.
😂 Me too! I work Retail Customer service 😂
But that's acceptable, apparently. Gotta remember to shame sex work guys!!!
@@Aster_Riskis it sex work? That makes me wonder how many ppl doing this are consenting to being used as fetish material. You can argue "well, it's public, so they should know", but does a child mimicking the videos mean they consent to weird creeps fetishisising them? So, it isn't really sex work being "shamed" is it?
I feel like a npc working in retail...at the register, saying the same thing over and over again to the costumers with sometimes adding a different sentence to different costumers
I feel like most of these have never played a video game. NPCs can do weird things but these would be mega glitchy characters. The popcorn in the flat iron is like WTF.
I'm starting to reconsider my entire life choices.
My parents told me that if I had good grades I could afford a house with garden, a dog, a cat, a wedding, 2 kids and a car.
All I had to do instead was downloading TikTok and acting as an NPC.
Right?! My goodness, me working hard as an adult and doing the right thing and living in the real world… what a lose I am
Yeah... Grew up in the 90's and this reality never crossed my mind...who would have known that I could have become rich by literally doing weird shit in front of a phone with a camera, for everybody to see and tip?
And now I feel like I am too old to bargain my self respect for this shit. I am still very poor for western standards, but heck no, nuh-uh, some things have no price, like the safe feeling I have for being sure that in whatever future my image will never be associated with this.
The Trisha one cracks me the hell up because I feel like she saw them, and kinda sorta got the gist of like “I do the thing of the emoji” but missed that you have to be…like… robotic?
Thank you! I was thinking the same thing, but couldn't articulate it. She was ready to hop on the trend but missed some key factors and produces something that's... very her, I guess, so... yikes + well done? I dunno, she hurts my head a bit 😅
I agree, she's probably used to being able to do things alright somewhat intuitively, but she's too chaotic for this one
ahahaha yes it's like she didn't know that everything should mostly sound the same or weirdly robotic
It was cracking me the hell up 😂😂😂
She wasn’t good at it.
"Go to bed Chrysanthemum" made me laugh so much!!
When I was younger I always wanted to name my first daughter Chrysanthemum 😂😂 as an adult I settled for something more normal 😂😂😂
I would need autocorrect to even remember how to spell that. Those poor babies.
I’ve always liked the name from that children’s book “Chrysanthemum.” I mean, def have to have a couple of nicknames though lol
@@kellymcphaul2793 Oh my goodness yes! It's the one about a mouse right? I have it too! I read it to them occasionally, just to remind them what their name could have been 😆
due to a bunch of reasons that make sense in context, my parents almost named me Tuesday. they chickened out when it came down to it. ("when we met you, you just seemed like a [Yournormalname]!" sure.)
now i work with nicu insurance claims, so i see baby names all day every day, and the names are all variations of the same thing. i think more people should go for it with "weird" names. your kid is special! why not a special name? she'd probably be the only chrysanthemum in her class! there would be a jackson, a jaxon, and a jackzyn. but only one chrysanthemum.
💯💯💯 me too😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO your reenactment of the child walking in on the mom doing the NPC shit killed me. I've been extremely depressed and close to death tbh and nothing has been helping except watching your videos. 🥺😭💖 thank you Jamie ilysm
I hope things turn around for you very soon. I've struggled with it for the past year and I know the depths of despair that one can reach. Try to hang on a little longer. It can get better ❤️
I saw the one of the guy who had to break character (stereotypical Chinese guy eating spicy noodles) because someone rang his doorbell in his apartment complex.😂😂😂
Hugs from a stranger who read your comment and cares for your well being 🤗
I hope you look into managing your symptoms. You may have adhd ! It effects a lot of people this way because you feel like you don't fit. But you fit more than you realize. Please look into your symptoms and change your diet accordingly. It will help you. Understanding ourselves is the most powerful knowledge one can possess. I wish you blessed and Hope that God will guide you towards Jesus .I have learned so much in the past 12 years about myself and our mortality. I have had a difficult life but have used it all to learn from. Look within my friend and one by one meet your demon's head on. Meditation and prayer helps connect to one's higher self. I wish you all the best for the future, and remember ! You are here for a reason! XxX 🙏
Hey friend, I hope you’re doing better now ❤ You deserve to be here and be happy in this world ❤❤❤
“Yes yes yes, I’m on drugs” - said by the smartest 8yr old mocking tiktokers
I am torn between being disgusted by this trend and sorry that I haven’t found a way to cash in on it myself 😅
😂😂😂😂
Same.
Ugh. Same. I can’t even hate, it’s kinda genius.
I don't have a tiktok, but my husband downloaded it to see what it was about. It is by far the most weirdest thing I have ever seen. I am so glad I never got on the hype. It's too much for me. I'll just stay over here on CZcams, where it's mildly safe.
Emphasis on “mildly” lol
@@emilylefevre6806 yuuuuup 😆
Same here!!!
CZcams has calmed down considerably since ads were introduced 😂
CZcams is ok. And I love an ok time lol
Jaime is my safe place. This hilarious human puts me to sleep every night with her beautiful, calming voice. I don’t want to live in a world without Jaime French 🙏🏻❤️💪🏼🕊️♾️
What is so hilarious though? I watched it. I didn't even crack a smile. Her voice is nice, not a shrieking nasal voice like so many women use now. but hilarious? Not even vaguely amusing, and I have a great sense of humor lol
@@jessicahannah2522 you would like me to have memorized and made note of specifics jokes I found hilarious? Taste in comedy is subjective, you and I can both have a self proclaimed “great sense of humor” and not laugh at the same jokes and neither of us be wrong.
What’s truly wild is that TikTok takes 60% of the revenue & Pinky still makes thousands of dollars per stream. 🤯
WAIT I'M SORRY 60%?!
🤯
60%? That's messed up
She speaks to her child like they are annoying just for existing. She's gross.
She posts p*rn too on twitter
I'm always amazed how grown people can behave on the internet.
Not the worst thing, tbh. It’s harmless entertainment
Absolutely
I’m always annoyed with it. 😒
I remember Jenna Marbles reacting to her favourite vines years ago and there was one guy who did the NPC thing perfectly just walking into walls and onto chairs.
Whoever he was he was the GOAT…….
Now there's Loczniki, they're incredibly talented
I think he murdered somebody..😮
@@CherryDiMilo NPCs out here creating their own main character storylines
Yeah, that sort of stuff is funny. The ladies doing this have made it into something uncomfortable and sexual. Anyone else notice the difference here? Where are the ladies doing actual funny NPC things?
@@TheSwauzz @loczniki
"Stop it. Get some help." The way I almost choked on my food.
Honestly, this makes me feel a lot better about myself.
Thank you for yet another reason to never ever get on TikTok ❤️
I’m with you 😅😅
Agree!
All I see is another venue for people to perpetually stay in the adolescent stage. And this is why we have so many children talking about "mental health", because there are no adults to give them wisdom and guidance in this life.
Cheers to that ☕ 🍻 🍵🧋
I was tryna creep on the NPC livestreams the other day & was STARTLED by the “so-and-so joined” alert…it immediately made it feel weird, and I noped outta there like that Homer Simpson melting back into the bushes meme😅
That's what anonymous accounts are for. 😂
😂😂
Put your 🧦 on next time 🥳
"i can't come to the door I'm being as npc on TikTok" she turned into JENIFER COOLIDGE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If they REALLY were NPCs, they’ve be walking into walls and phasing in and out 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for sacrificing your sanity to provide the masses with entertainment. You are far braver than I am for venturing into TikTok 😂
I was thinking The Same!! I only want to understand WHAT THE F THIS IS via Jaime French. She explains and reacts and I love her for it. Thank You 🙏
Same. I avoid it like the plague!
Exactly! We owe her😇💯
Same!! 💜
I officially want the fans of this channel to always and forever be referred to as Jamie French Toasties!
I concur! I feel honoured to be a Jaime French Toastie❤
I second this, consider it in the meeting notes
I third this.
And I fourth 😂
I am down for that! I'll be a Toastie!
Okay, I actually noticed this popping up a lot on my TikTok and had no clue they were supposed to be NPCs. It literally is the weirdest thing to stumble across the first time without knowing it's a trend, but when it keeps happening you feel like you're the only sane person left on earth. Nobody in the comments questioned it and it felt like a fever dream. I'm so glad to find that this is a legit thing and other people know how weird it is
The thing is, none of them seem like NPC's in video games. Except the white guy in the supermarket. He was really good and I could actually recognize what he was doing. The rest of them are just bizarro land and annoying.
"Stop it. Get some help."
I literally almost peed when you yelled at your pretend kid 😂
I literally cannot differentiate between the people "doing" the trend and those mocking it.
I freaking lost it with the kid walking into the NPC mom livestream. I literally choked 😂😂
Once he was in the background playing in dog sh*t and she stopped to yell at him and had to stop completely to go clean it up. 😂
@@Jen.NicoleSo instead of being a responsible adult and taking her dog for a walk and supervising her kid, she’s making weird noises on the Clock App livestream. 😑
@@courtneyj2058 Okay, and? Lmao. I don't have any control over what this woman does with her life. I wasn't defending her. I just happened to actually see this particular incident.
It is so embarrassing how this world is turning out. What happened to people???
They have phones now 😂
Yeah it was better back when people enjoyed watching public executions and dying at the age of 24 🤙🏽
Sad isn’t it? 😢
Who needs genuine human connection when you can just pay someone to act like a cyborg?
Their brains have turned so smooth
I literally laughed out loud watching you do the parent-kid bit 😂😂😂
Just got there 🤣 lmfao and the Jennifer Coolidge voice after
YES. because I ain’t ever heard someone yell out the word chrysanthemum before. 😂😂😂😂
Me too! 😂
Same! Popcorn popcorn! Haha
Screamed
I don't waste my time on TikTok. Nor other social medias.
Congratulations 😂
Honestly thank you for having the dignity not to actually go live and do this.
Thank you for reconfirming yet another reason why I don't have TikTok. Love your content! Now go spend time with Chrysanthemum.
I fell OUT at Michael Jordan! 😂😂 The editing is just... chef's kiss.
Same 🤣🤣🤣
Stop it get help 😂
😂😂😂
Thank you for doing the "how you would be in a video game" green screen! Very appropriate replacement for not impersonating the real NPC tiktoks. Love your content!
Thank you, Jaime, for making me feel not alone for not understanding why things happen on the internet nowadays 🙏
i was so dead when i saw trisha doing this i was like lmaooo of course she is
Yes, no surprise there 😅
She's such a loser
She's so bad at it! She has so much confidence, I admire it
LMAO 💀💀💀
I actually can confirm that Jamie is right on thinking this is a lil bit fetish-y. Apparently yes these streams are considered part of an NPC fetish. (which ig is just like, crank up someone getting off on controlling someone else to the max.)
Well, yeah. It's like those dumbass "cooking" videos where the women are wasting a bunch of ketchup on the kitchen counter or whatever. They're all these asinine fetish videos that are leading to / a product of legitimate brain rot
@@shannonceleste5557 No one's brain is rotting. You all have got to learn to pick your battles.
Plus the way its pandering to pedos 🤢
Ughhhhh💀😭😭😭😭
What’s wrong with the world
Guess you never played gta , it is control to an extent when they go to the strip club in the private room
I just love that you included the mom penguin who can't find her baby when you showed NPC examples. I always think of Fallout people sending me to new settlements, but your example is much better.
I SO appreciate you keeping your dignity and not trying out the trend. I love your videos, don't know if I've ever commented on one before, but I needed to throw this one out there. Good job, and thanks again.
“GO TO BED CHRYSANTHEMUM!” - Oh my goodness, that scene was PERFECTION, Jaime. 😂
And this is why I happily deleted my tiktok over a year ago. I cannot believe this absolute madness. You're a real one for doing this research Jaime.
Same I haven’t used TikTok in a long ass time because of the fact I wasn’t finding the same things people would send me funny
It became an full-fledged addiction. I couldn't "just stop" like everyone else seemed to and I was spending over 4 hours on the app per day.
I have never downloaded TikTok because it always seemed to be too much about this sort of thing. I still get sucked into CZcams shorts sometimes though... I hate it when I do that
I had to get rid of mine, too… It just became a complete addiction with absolutely no point
😂 glad to see you cover these, they drive me mental!
The clip of Trisha doing it had me in actual TEARS 😂😂😂
Considering everyone is doing the same cutesy “kawaii” act, I’m getting more “I’m a professional fairy” vibe than an NPC 😭 it’s like twitch moved to tiktok in an even cringier way lol
“Go to bed Chrysanthemum!!” 😂😂
Do I peek a Golden Girls shirt?!? I love that you’re a fan! You should make a golden girls commentary video
I am so glad you covered this! This has been the topic of discussion all weekend for me. This trend is soooo weird!
First seeing this trend with Honey Boo Boos mom June and not knowing any back story was absolutely terrifying. Had no idea this was a thing, I thought she was broken lol
She is she definitely is.
I’m screaming laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean she dated a pedophile
Remember the good old days when people watched TV shows that had actual plots and whatnot?
I'll take the good Ole days anytime
Like the Golden Girls:) I see Jaime is a fan.
Geez, we are old-er than we used to be❤
Did they though?
truly. people have been watching garbage tv for decades. better than this stuff though. and i say that as someone fully addicted to youtube lol
Huge struggle here... I cant just push play on these and walk away bc Jaime is HILARIOUS and there is always something I'd miss watching if I leave my phone. I may become a phone addict. Her fault. 😂😅❤😊
Thank you for saying out loud what I have been thinking this whole weird time on TikTok
Omfg, npc's dont even act like that. Ive played so many video games, I actually feel bad for NPCs 😂
Reminds me more of the player in the creation screen.
Right? Most NPC don't even have voices 😂😂
Unless it’s Skyrim, those bitches repeat every last word💀
I *do* love it when you don't backtrack or apologize for your opinion. 💜
As for this trend; I think a whole lot of absolute sick creeps get off on it 🤢🤮
Agree!
Ya know. So true. When I saw this video I felt sick 🤮. It’s 1000% a fetish and these people know that they’re doing sexual type stuff. They want any attention. I thank GOD that I don’t have kids. I cant even imagine the nightmare it must be for parents to try to monitor this stuff.
It’s probably just subsidized by the Chinese Communist Party. Retarding your enemies is a brilliant warfare strategy. 😂
Absolutely it’s a fetish.
Omg I needed this breakdown video . ILYSM
I love that in the craziness of the internet, you are still very real. Thanks for the content, absolutely love it!!
I am 38 and watching this stuff makes me feel old AF. I had to ask my 12 year old what I was seeing the other day and he goes so casually NPC. And.....I'm still lost. I love it when my child who's never known what life was like before the internet has to educate me.
I had no idea what NPC was. I am living under a rock and i'm 37 😂
I'm 39 and I've known what an NPC was for a long time bc I'm a gamer, but it just goes to show how wildly things can evolve; never would I suspect that the term would at some point reference live stream "acting" for money. Like, how??? 😅
The money being earned online is insanity!
I’m glad someone finally addressed this madness! It weirds me out big time!
You’re video editing is so great, your humor is one of a kind and you’re freakin gorgeous ❤ thanks for your passion on being an honest content creator and never doing shit you don’t want to do. You inspire me in staying true to myself 😊
The NPC couple that goes into Walmart are seriously super talented. Plus brave 😂
6:41 The dude who’s mom was asking him what the heck is happening right now.😂
Ikr I cried laughing 🤣
@@jaimefrenchofficial So, unrelated to OP’s comment, but Nick DeRamio watched Bring It On on his Patreon this month, and many people brought up your video. And then Nick called you an icon.
@@Five_by_Five9340 Nick is the best! He's so sweet too, when my sister was killed he donated to the funeral funds and was so kind. Would love to see him and Jamie do a video together
I’m binging all of your videos right now- thank you for all the joy you bring and hard work you all put in your videos. Prayers for health, safety and success ❤
Love your take as usual. It's a weird, weird world out there.
Also the clip of how you would look playing a video game had me rolling. 💀
The reason for the thing where Pinkydol etc uses hair straighteners to make popcorn is to prove that the stream isn't pre-recorded or manipulated. Why the popcorn.. idk. But that's why it's there.
Jaime. You had me literally ascending with the, "Do you wanna know my final thoughts? 'No'" 😂
I had CZcams premium (free trial) when i first discovered your channel and i never realized it was an actual break. I thought you were just giving us time to take a breath from the weirdness lmao
I have an ad blocker & was so confused as well 😃😂😂
I have a Tik Tok, but I don't wander over that way much, so I had no idea about this trend. When I tell you I cry-laughed watching this. You're hilarious and I enjoy your videos so much. 💜
So glad you did this one. It really freaks me out when I'm scrolling and one of these pops up.
your impression of doing the npc stream sent me, i can always count on you to give me a laugh. love you jamie!!!!
I’m currently healing from a hysterectomy and I’ve been binging on your videos for days. You always keep me entertained. ❤
Feel better soon ❤
bless you, hope u feel better soon
Be careful laughing could be painful 😂❤
Aww feel better!!! I had a full one at 39 and literally felt so much better afterwards ❤❤❤
I had a partial at 38 and felt way better, good for you and hope you heal up quick!
I just found you today and I've totally not stopped laughing at your personality so... thank you. Lol
OMG, I just found your channel and have been bringing for countless hours! 😂
What I like about these reaction videos is that they rely more on drawing a through line and extrapolating instead of just shock and gut reactions. Sure I could listen to you make jokes about these creators but I appreciate more that you can thoughtfully weigh the pros and cons, the harm and harmless.
Great stuff as always Jaime!
Jaime's videos always feel like you're just huddled around at a sleepover just discussing the world. I love the vibe, especially since everything else seems so mean-spirited lately.
I can probably explain the Popcorn. It's something to keep viewers on the hook, probably particularly those with ADHD who Need/Want to see the Popcorn Pop.
Imagine just randomly coming across one of these streams and getting bored like "Oh, I get it now, I guess, so I'll leave"., but then you see them dropping popcorn and think, "Wait... was that popcorn?". Then you see them put in another popcorn and you want to actually see it pop.
That…is sad. For our society.
This would be way too understimulating for my ADHD
using peoples adhd or adhd like behaviors as an attempt to get views and money.. that’s just gross tbh.
Jaime, thank you for watching that stuff and telling us about it. You save me so much time and energy.
So much work goes into each of your videos. Loved the commentary. I have to say my fav thing about your vids, are your little 5 second spin offs. But they wouldn’t work comedically without the exposition and build up to them. It is VERY VERY GOOD. I would love to see more of Chyrsamthemum and her mom
JAMIE. I honestly do that silent, cry-shaking laughter that is so rare and like I’m back in middle school reacting to some really late night slumber party antics. WHENEVER I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS. Your humor completely surprises me. Watching you run your video game character into the side of that fence shot me into another zip code of hysterics. Thank you so much
Ur voice is such a chill vibe ✌️
Thanks for giving a shoutout to those CZcamsrs that imitate NPCs! I love Nikki so much, she's so cute and incredibly talented 😊❤️ (loczniki or something like that)
I've only recently found your channel and just love your humor and commentary so I'm going back and binge watching some older content, not feeling well at all so Def needed the laughs 😂
Love what you do, you're hilarious! Thanks for diving into the bowels of TikTok so we don't have to. We're all doomed lol
I'm literally learning the world all over again... I'm so glad someone is breaking these things down overwise I'm just wandering around online lost.
This is my new favorite channel!!
Oh God I just really, truly needed to randomly burst out giggling uncontrollably, you have no idea how rough life has been lately! Thank you, Jaime, I just love your videos! ❤❤❤
Now where’s my flatiron???
I love how you change things up and do whatever feels funny, I really like watching all your ideas! 😊
My beef is that I have hit “not interested” on these lives every time they pop up and yet they continue to show up constantly. Like is there really NOTHING else available?!
Jaime you have single handedly gotten me through the flu.
Absolutely loving finding your channel! Interesting, funny, whole package and you ask same questions I am!! Love ya!!❤❤❤ keep up the good, the bad and extremely weird!! Lol
The parent kid skit was the best part of this madness! Im in my 40s, I refuse to download Tiktok so I go to your channel to see what the kids are up to. Sadly, it is the time I turned into my parents. I dont get what kids do on Tiktok all day. That is why Im on CZcams LOL! Cheers! Thanks for another great video!
Honestly this is a fresh Tiktok account kind of issue, once you've been on it for a while the algorithm tailors itself to what you like.
For example I get a lot of movie/book character edits, animal videos and food videos. Like how if you sign out of CZcams all you get is music videos, five minute crafts and late night shows showing up on your home page
Jaime running into a wall as an NPC will forever live happily in my brain.
Jaime. I adore you. I don't follow many people on social media but girl-- I try to watch anything you post. You crack me up! So naturally funny without trying too hard. Also on a personal note.. I feel like a few of your background music clips remind me of the music from The Big Comfy Couch. The nostalgias there for me :) Keep doing what you're doing! You're brilliant
You never disappoint.
