“Those are attractive people with heavily vetted idiosyncrasies” is one of the best sentences I’ve heard recently
Ah yes How many sides will your handed be having?
What does it mean?
@@mlgwolvesmeep To me, it meant “These are just hot people who want to be weird, but not TOO weird, because too weird means they’re not hot anymore. So they carefully decide how to act weird/freakish in ways that can be admirable or socially acceptable”
(if that helps lol)
@@godspellflowerfr5991 oh okay thank tou
@@mlgwolvesmeepGodspell Flowers description was great. What I’d add to it is that some people past a certain level of attractiveness are viewed as not relatable so they might feel the need to curate some quirks (if they don’t have any of their own in earnest) in order to present themselves as more approachable.
At some point you just gotta be authentic instead of trying to pass as such though, but that’s just my opinion.
Living for the audience reaction when Chris said Crazy Pete was a theater student crossed with an engineering student.
the collective "ugh" came from the soul
that is the smallest intersection radiating with the most immensely chaotic energy
Honestly that cross-section is the living embodiment of chaotic neutral energy
OOOOOOooooooooohhhhh.
I have never felt nearly as called out by anything in my fucking life and I will be forever ruined
why dont more comedians drink water like that are they scared to unleash true power or something
I'm 'like' 666 ahhh
I second this
Sky Ratcliffe
5:00 I can’t stop replaying it lmao
FERAL 😂
Chris always has this anxious frantic energy when he performs. It suits his jokes well, but it always makes me picture him as the new court jester putting on his first performance at a royal banquet who was told just moments ago that the last court Jester was put to death because the King saw one of his guests yawn during one of the jokes.
this comment made me belly laugh
Omfg 😂😂
The imagery and specificity of this comment 💀
I saw his Zoom show in October and that's exactly what it felt like
‘Bassoon player’s ass’ is both oddly specific and incredibly accurate. They really do have badonks.
They sit a lot
That one made me scream laugh scraugh
hahahaha why is this true? because i can think of a couple
As a bassoonist, I am both feeling attacked and know
@@user-pz4um9hi1j mood
"Kate Bush trying not to miss the last shuttle to a renaissance fair" I'm dying!
Chris Fleming gives off exasperated Oracle of Delphi vibes
ocean melody omigoooood this is incredibly accurate
That is oddly specific but really accurate
Oh my god. Yes.
The hallucinogenic vapors are under the stage
If anyone would be the chosen of Apollo, it’d probably be Chris
“I just locked eyes with someone who was like ‘this is not “Company is Coming”’” GOD
He acts like he’s being held at gunpoint and if he makes one wrong move, he’ll be gunned down by the comedy gods. I love you Chris. We don’t deserve this level of comedy and dedication
he is a miserable court jester to a ruthless king, always a prance away from the guillotine, who accidentally traveled to the future and enrolled in theatre school and is barely holding it together from the stress but is also just grateful the plague isn't really a thing anymore
@@gusmonet2991 I really appreciate the effort put into that paragraph, thank you
@@gusmonet2991 nailed it
@@gusmonet2991 the plague is a thing now
@@gusmonet2991I am sad to report this comment did not age well...
I had what can only be described as a “panic attack laugh” at the Kevin McGee bit.
love how he breathes into the mic. makes this feel really raw
hell yes reminds me of Bill Hicks making awful noises directly into the mic lmfao
I want to hire Chris to follow me around and very specifically insult anyone who mildly inconveniences me
Toe to Tip That's a Bart And very specifically compliment me
You do realize that if you hired Chris to do that, he'd actually just criticize you the entire time about every choice you ever make on a daily basis? He'd judge you the way he judges chocolate bars
TQM that would also be a treat, I just didn’t want to comment that since it would sound like I’m a blue-haired woman with a collar who openly posts about her needs to be controlled.
Toe to Tip That's a Bart me too bro, me too.
You mean you want a jester?
i love how increasingly unhinged his shows are becoming
This outfit confuses me.... yet it comforts me.
Sienna Rothenburg that’s his brand
His pants say thrifter extraordinaire who plays an obscure musical instrument and his shirt says receptionist in a middle school administrative building
As someone who attended the very theatre school Chris did, I can confirm he is NOT exaggerating. I was too late for Crazy Pete, but I got to experience Harmonica Jeff and sit at uncomfortably self-congratulatory/passive aggressive sessions of Theatre Company
Skidmore gave me ptsd and chlamydia and I didn't even go there. It's definitely something
I'm a once-theatre-kid, but I went to music school, and you'd think there would be similarly cartoonish people there too, but no, it's truly a theatre-specific phenomenon.
I'm two years late but PLEASE tell us about Harmonica Jeff
@@loading7496 he wore a goatee and a middle part and had somewhat large front teeth, which all made him look exceedingly like a goat changed into human form by a witch. He would walk around campus playing his harmonica incessantly. This meant that you could hear him coming from quite a distance. He never stopped-if he was walking and not talking to anyone, out came the harmonica. It drove my friend so crazy that she once told me she was tempted to “tune his harmonica to the key of nose”. Other memorable figures included Ben the Whistler, who whistled constantly and brought his own homemade sauerkraut to the dining hall in mason jars, and the perennial Always Barefoot Even In Winter Guy
@@mistressoverdone4492 That was literally the Devil himself
i love chris fleming's hateboner for st vincent
He's just jealous.
it's all head and no heart
Damn I really want to like this but you’re at 666 likes and I don’t wanna mess with that
and he's right about her too
I love St. Vincent, but his roasts were so good, and yeah, she is very pretentious a lot of the time💀
as some one who majored in theatre and minored in engineering, I cannot tell you how you absolutely SHOT me out of the water within the first 2 and a half minutes of this video. my soul left my body
ElizaAnne I love how amazingly specific yet accurate Chris can be. It’s a gift
My dad has an engineering degree and was a weird hybrid sports kid/theater kid
What freaks did you meet in that nasty nether space?
His energy is so incredibly chaotic and contagious-I feel like I need to go on a five mile run, I'm so fired up!
As a janitor, I can assure you every one of us has a Jar of Honey esque story.
What's yours? I can't believe it's been Two years and no one has asked yet
well now you have to tell us yours
Jar of honey! Jar of honey!
Mine was an overworked ICEE machine from the opening night of the Minions 2. Limited edition banana flavor we pretty much IMMEDIATELY had to take off the menu.
Is the water panic bit a running gag from your first mentioning “the sad hydration of the clown” in Showpig? I can’t stop laughing
This addition just made it twice as funny
Also the "how we doing? Are we dating?"
When Chris revealed Crazy Pete was a theater student crossed with an engineering student, I audibly gasped with such horror that my partner on the other side of the room dropped what he was doing to run to my side and ask me what's wrong
"Do you have a grandmother?"
"How hungry does she become?"
*zoom in on the big, uncomfortable smile*
I'm screaming, holy shit.
im obsessed with your artistic practice of spinning a wheel and picking one very specific gay cultural touchstone to eviscerate in an incredibly truthful way once per show
A chinchilla taking a dust bath is the kind of energy I'm trying to tap into
Chris you seem truly liberated in this bit and I'm alarmed
Watching this performance was like experiencing every stage of grief all at once
"the ol' trufflefinder" is a phrase I will now sprinkle into my everyday life
For some reason I felt like I had always been waiting for someone to say that. No idea why
Oh Chris, how I have missed you and your bizarre fashion and physical mannerisms. You are like a human folding chair who got dressed by blind clowns.
Also, all I could think of around 15:10 was "his hand is like a Romanian woman trying to seek sanctuary in an 18th century F r e n c h c h u r c h"
Correction: blind GOTH clowns
Oh my god.... I just had a moment of "are those jeans?... Wait.... Ohgod....VELVET PANTS. CHRIS IS WEARING VELVET PANTS AND A VEST"
Katherine Dobbs lmao do you mean romani?
@@josie3221 maybe? I have awful ears for lyrics sometimes and I'm honestly not quite sure what that line from Polyamorous is
Accidentally got immortalized in a Chris Fleming video by yelling “It’s Hot” at the wrong time
are you a skater
It’s hot dood!!!!
YOU ARE THE SKATER BOY AND I DID IN FACT SEE YOU LATER BOY
Congratulations.
Why do I feel like Chris is actually Crazy Pete
Why did you have all that honey, Chris? We know it was you, Chris... Tell us the truth...
Chris' junior year of undergrad was spent in a fugue state
The impression was simply too real...too convincing....too powerful....
non issue: chris has no ass
Josephine K. Maybe he got butt implants during his Crazy Pete phase
The “ohhhhh” from the crowd when he says crazy Pete rides the line b/w art student and engineering student bless that crowd lmfao
Giovanni de Benede-NO!
Giovanni de Benede-WHO AM I?!?!
Dylan Chouinard There’s always that one rule teachers have, that they were probably taught cause it applies to them specifically. And they teach it to every student as a general rule without realizing it’s not meant to be one.
The audience reaction at 2:28 is incredible it sounds exactly like when you narrowly miss the hole in wii golf
Kitcat oh my god it does
LMAO THAT IS SO FUNNY
The deranged energy of this whole bit....cleansing
chris acts like an android possessed by an ancient forest spirit accidentally summoned by a group of gay teenagers playing dnd
Best comment
I have never read a more accurate description of a person
cherry ! What?
This is like if the ideas of the iron giant met stranger things I think
such a specific description but so accurate at the same time, i feel it in my heart
“Some kind of blonde Pokémon” absolutely destroyed me 😂
That first kevin magee leap was so magical
wow no oxford comma, huh? really running wild here
I didn’t use an Oxford comma... I am such a freak!
Saw a St. Vincent album on sale today and thought "Maybe today's the day. Today's the day I put on a highly regarded St. Vincent album and it just clicks for me." And after a frustrating walk around my neighborhood with my dog I came back here to once again feel validated. I don't know when I'll be ok with not liking St. Vincent's music and stop doing this to myself, but until then, I'll have this.
more comedians should be this unhinged on stage
Chris Fleming’s endless vendetta against NYU will never not amuse me
The way he says Massachusetts way too close to the mic really resonates with me for some reason??
His audiences always match his manic energy.
I have tried and failed to listen to St. Vincent so many times ... thank you for setting me free
I always empathize so much with your work like you're just on stage like "what am I doing" practically dying on stage... scratching up their good floorboards... and im really feeling that on an emotional level. Like some sort of sick relatable schadenfreude type relationship between entertainer and audience... This is what it looks like to COPE
Half the time I’m like “I can’t tell if he’s genuinely anxiously dissociating or it’s just _very_ good acting; or both” and it’s so relatable, as someone who dissociates anxiously
"A nasty line between theater student and engineering student"
(AUDIBLE GROAN FROM THE ENTIRE AUDIENCE)
Todd Phillips: “Comedy is dead thanks to PC culture!”
Chris Fleming: “Hold my water.”
@@danheboy I mean there’s different types of comedy so some genres have been killed by pc culture
@@richardjohnson7379 I mean racism/sexism/homophobia/etc aren't genres but go off lol 🤷♀️
@@doctorwholover1012 I didn’t go off, I made a perfectly valid point. Pc culture has lead to the death of black comedy. It’s not died because people wanted it to, but because a small minority of privileged people couldn’t cope with it.
@@richardjohnson7379 i mean, straight people can make gay jokes. john mulaney has a great one. its not homophobic. thats possible. black humour is fine, but like, if you're joking about things people kill you for being, you should be on the chopping block yourself, not mocking from the stands. gallows humour is only gallows humour if you're in there, otherwise you're the executioner.
also, freedom of speech? you're entitled to say what you want, but that doesn't mean you're entitled to have people listen to you. if a comedian wants to make racist/homophobic/sexist jokes, but nobody wants to pay him for them, that doesnt mean PC culture "killed humour", it means the market is telling him what they wanna hear. supply and demand my dude.
im all for black comedy. bo burnham, hannah gatsby, etc do great bits. but (speaking personally, as a LGBTQA+ person) i wanna watch/laugh at jokes where im part of the joke, not the punchline? i've been in line for a punch most of my life, it gets a bit tiring lol
(also, what does "small minority of privileged people" mean? straight white cis dudes being asked to not be racist and homophobic isnt the end of black comedy, its a simple and basic request when their audiences are predominantly becoming more and more diverse? but go off i guess :D)
Seriously though. Those people are so stupid and annoying and honestly pathetic
Edit: people who complain about PC culture. They're just mad because they are being restricted by "PC culture".
chris i’m tired of seeing your lower back without a tramp stamp
god i could not agree more
love when he just wrestles with a jacket for a minute
I still remember in Dallas when someone yelled "SHE'S FROM DALLAS!! SHE WENT TO MY UNITARIAN CHURCH!!"
Yesss, he was blown away xD
Chris Fleming is spiritually attractive
Chris's vocal performance is more akin to that of Heath Ledger's Joker than that of a standard comedian
the hand desperately searching for pocket and finding boot bit is killer. Never stop Chris you beautiful majestic seahorse
SAINT VINCENT IS NOT YOUR FAULT
Boy coming after my home city of Albany,,, I’m flattered
I laughed so hard, I was in tears. I was not expecting him to bring that up. I live an hour away, and I can't help but realize how accurate it was.
Amber Lynn me too lmao
chris fleming you are my favorite comedian please never stop
Big Feral Goblin Energy
The way he goes after the water gives me anxiety
i think every university has a guy like Crazy Pete, our introduces himself as The Raptor, he's a 4.0 engineering student, also deals/does a lot of drugs, has a very thick country accent and is just known for being a Large Personality
I'm sorry but Crazy Pete sounds the inspo for like Davis
Pastel Monster oh my gosh you’re right
He seems to have been the inspiration for his signature prancing motions as well.
HE NIECE OF LUCIFER
This is fucking beautiful. I love Chris’s comedy.
The 'hand missing the pocket' bit is one of my very favourite gags
"the Fiiine Line between Theatre kiD and Engineering student" - crowd "oohs" like a figure skater fell on the ice
me, someone who went to a tiny engineering school with a bunch of theater nerds - *nods in acceptance now that the burden to like saint vincent has been lifted from my shoulders* I'm ready, Chris - drag me
Oberlin, right? ;)
@@13meli55a definitely ;)
*GASP* I ran into another Oliner in the comments section??? now THOSE are some odds
My brother introduced me to St.Vincent's music and was highly offended when I called it "hot hipster garbage". This is the first time I've felt validated.
If there’s ever a stage adaptation of Jim Henson’s ‘The Dark Crystal’, I want Chris to play the Lord Chamberlain, based solely on the Pete Noises he made in this clip.
Damn you're good at standup, I'm blown away by how natural everything feels!
This was no whinnie the Pooh crime, baby, WHY DID HE HAVE ALL THAT HONEY???
As a theater student and engineering student I felt this on a spiritual level
I do like St Vincent’s music but I am still laughing so hard.
Same! I love her, but this was funny as hell.
you don't have to pretend to like St Vincent
@@virtualboyscout4416 Bruv I've been listening to her stuff for years and I have a tattoo of her album logo. Love her to death.
GdoubleWB Its okay, you don’t have to pretend to like the music of St. Vincent
ive been ferociously sending your videos to my friends for the past 2 weeks and their responses have told me who the real mvps are. They either say "i am afraid" or "this man is a genius".
Your mind is the most amazing thing. Please never stop creating for us!
You are the funniest creature to grace this Earth and we are not worthy.
as an engineering/arts student... Wig
Ever seen someone in full mime makeup taking apart the teacher's lounge microwave
Chris Fleming is like an anti Cosmo Kramer with the same intensity of mania, yet derived from the inverse amount of self confidence
"Heavily-vetted idiosyncracies" DECEASED! I'm adding that as a requirement on my OkCupid profile.
Honestly Chris has such a talent for making jokes on the fly. I don’t know how Chris does it, but the humor just flows. The bizarre inane references and pulls kill me. The Disney channel movie skater voice.
It wonderful imagining him in theater school exploring his future stage personality doing these kinds of scenes over and over
i love how into it the audience is
I once knew a girl who called herself a freak bc she had a caffeine addiction and when I told her that I can’t look at my hands for too long without dissociating she blocked me on social media and said I was a psycho so,,,,obviously you’re not that much of a freak are you
You dodged a bullet there, don’t want to be friends with someone who can’t handle the fact that some people have mental health problems and it’s just a fact of life, and thinks it’s ok to use the word psycho like that.
Fuck that person. Really showed their colours as an ableist.
Dissociating sucks dude, I get what you mean about hands.
All parts of the body are strange if you look at them too long, but hands and feet are the weirdest since you can see the tendons move under the skin and stuff.
I hope you’ve found some good ways to ground yourself to cope with it.
I know it’s hard to deal with, and it’s even harder when it’s so misunderstood and hard to explain to people who haven’t personally experienced it, especially since the way it feels is so unique to the person.
But there are people who won’t treat you horrid for experiencing a difficult symptom/state of mind and those are the people who you should listen to and keep around, not people like caffeine addict Karen.
But yeah the only thing freaky about her is her total lack of insight into herself, it’s freaky how irritating she must be to be around hahaha
He's perfectly intellectually hilarious combined with physical humor and nonsense. Thou hast been born unto a special dimension of adoration.
Take me to your yeeter
The consistency of the critiques of Massachusetts really cooks my rice every bad date I’ve been on has been with a person from Massachusetts.
I lived in Massachusetts for 14 years, and.... me tooo.
I feel like he's a lone piece of fried okra who kind of just escaped the fryer before being fully cooked and tried to start a new life as a mall santa.
kermit's ghost that’s nice
I needed this today. Thanks Chris.
I'm convinced that Chris is not of this earth, but is a gift sent to us from an ethereal being.
I want to see Chris live. I bet it's like a deeply moving and intense spiritual experience.
I have twice and it's worth wherever you must drive to see him.
I watch this with my 15 pound cat, Duchess, and she loudly meows whenever she hears the name Kevin McGee
I use the phrases “goblin shuffle” and “tricksters dance” as often as possible now
chris fleming I want to say that I am having a very anxious night, and watching your videos makes me feel so much better. thank you !!!
Bassoonists do have excellent butts. Source: I am a bassoonist with an excellent butt.
Oop, I am a bassoonist, and I feel mislabeled🤣
as someone who was born in Albany and lives in NYC... yeah that tracks
"Those aren't freaks, those are attractive people with heavily vetted idiosyncrasies." I think I'm in love.
he sounds more and more like hes on the verge of a nervous breakdown as it goes on this is prime comedy
THE BOOTS THE BOOTS THE BOOTS THE BOOTS THE BOOTS TH
i love the collective groan from the audience for the engineering student/theater student line
this whole bit is golden
Will we get the full show once the tour is over? The closest show to me is 9 hours away and I have no money to get here.
My boyfriends favorite artist is st. Vincent and I’m so tired of pretending. Thank you.
god i absolutely love this community, every comment here just adds to chris' jokes so much y'all are great
The velvet pants and sleeveless cardigan shirt thing. An icon.
i'm an engineering major who does theatre on the side, likes st vincent, and takes modern dance classes so you can only imagine how I feel right now
