Your laughter is infectious. You should make a one minute video of you just fake-laughing into the camera lens until it becomes real laughter and see how weird it gets.
Oh geez... I just came a bit from the thought of Betcha Can't Draw Thursdays coming back. YESSS! DO THAT!! LET'S BRING IT BACK TO CLASSIC CHRIS! Betcha can't draw Captain Morgan flipping pizza dough while grinding down a railing on a skateboard ;)
Your reaction to the fault in our stars made my whole week! Chris, I love you and I would watch /anything/ you post! Bring your old stuff back if you want, but remember that you don't have to listen to us. Do what you want to do, we will love it because it's your video. It makes me sad that you're nervous about this.. Do you want to know what I want to see? You. So do whatever you feel comfortable with, film it and post it on youtube. Your fans will love it any ways!
you did a few sit down have a coffee and a chat type of videos, in which you just had a chat and talked about random stuff, that was fun, do that type of thing maybe
Bet you can't draw Thursdays is a MUST! ... The exploring idea is a good one, I like the sound of that. Question and answers are always decent I guess... Daily vlogs of when you do actually venture out of your flat. Just you talking to the camera on this video is good enough really. My dad will be so happy you're doing this, I think you're the only person who can make him crack a smile.
I am genuinely excited for this! I've missed your videos so much. I know you thought it was lame but I found I bet you can't draw very entertaining haha can't wait for more videos!
Just a coffee and a chat, i like it a lot when you just put on the camera and talk about shit. Just ramble on about weird things, funny things, stories, jokes anything. You're great and anything you do would be great. I'm very excited to finally have you back, Chris. Cheers.
Wednesday- movie reviews (that way you can get an orange Wednesday code if you a friend to drag everyweek to the cinema) Thursday - bet you can't draw Thursdays because that was actually hilarious Saturday - go into different part of London especially where theres tourists and ask questions random questions (you could ask us what questions before) maybe in a different accent every week. Sunday - daily vlog walking around whatever you do on thst day. Monday -random weekly news the most weirdest random stories youve heard in the most likely something from the metro paper or shit tv magazines Hmm that's all I got for now love you r kid x
Chris you're fantastic, you could do a video where you drink coffee for two hours and I'd love it. SO PLEASE DONT FEEL PRESSURE TO DO VIDEOS, I'd rather you be happy and do your own thing.. good luck ily!
How about videos where you talk about things you're interested in? Or something like having a deep philosophical discussion about the taste of mayonnaise.
The laid back videos are always my favorite. When I'm having a particularly shitty day and need a laugh, my go to is your video about the mouse in your apartment.
Do the bet you can't draw, the exploring idea sounds good, maybe a q&a once in a while, maybe try collab with some people , but seriously make videos that you will enjoy making as well don't do something that you're really gonna hate :)
Try and collab with people, possibly new people we haven't met before? :3. Just do something you enjoy, otherwise you'll probably just never wanna touch this channel again. Exploring videos and Bet You Can't Draw videos sound good... I'm also a fan of gaming videos and creative little skits myself. It's entirely up to you Chris, but it's nice to see you using this channel again uwu.
I really-really loved the honesty of this video; it's quite novel to see something like this on UA-cam - I guess this is what makes your videos truly unique. To be a bit helpful (hopefully) maybe you could read - the idea in itself is not very groundbreaking but you can do amazing things with your voice and I guess you could nail reciting your favourite poems just as well as adapting the news (like read it how an old london-granny would read it and read how a drunken alpaca would read it); anything which comes to mind, with a twist. I don't know. Maybe it could work, maybe we could send in stuff which would be fun to hear from you.
I know this isn't what you want to hear, but seriously, do anything! Anything you want! I love being surprised when you post a video. I never know what it's going to be and I love that. It's so awesome seeing you post videos again. Do what you want and what you feel. I am happy with whatever you post. Grace does "stream of consciousness" videos and those are hilarious. You basically just talk about things that are on your mind and we get to share that with you. I promise, most of us will love what you post. Just be yourself and enjoy it. :) We're glad to have you back!
Being older than most of your subs, I can empathize with stress causing creative paralysis. I've been there myself. I think your idea of just doing things on second channel is a good way to start getting over the paralysis. Re: what to do, I personally enjoyed the Thursday drawing challenges even though you think it is a waste of time. On the other hand, I think it would be a mistake to do something you hate (e.g. reactions--maybe drawing) just because someone suggested it. Aren't you trying to find that healthy balance re: being true to your creativity vs subs demands? If you don't like what you are doing, will that really get you jumpstarted? Well, only you know that. Best wishes.
- Q&A with your mom! - Randome facts about you! - Challenges - Review other UA-cam channels - Prank call - A video with another UA-camr Just a couple of ideas ;) I am sooo so happy you are back! You are the funniest UA-camr I know of.
he’s literally the funniest person on UA-cam i miss him but if not uploading makes him a happier person and his mental health better then I don’t mind missing him
oh my god chris i've missed you so much. you could literally do anything and i'd watch (anything within your realm of you, though, so... i guess not literally anything.) reviewing a show/movie that's on netflix would be a good idea, since then most people could see it easily. drawing sounds great. i'd say search around and see if you get any inspiration from other sources like yters and bloggers
*Monday:* vlog going into london and check out some stuff. *Tuesday:* talk about favorite tv shows and do tv show reviews. *Wednesday:* sarcastic Q&A. *Thursday:* bet you can't draw thursday. *Friday:* talk about anything on your mind or how your day/week was or just anything you feel like :)
I think it could be nice to make videos where you just sit and chat/share your opinions on a subject, either of your choice or from the comments! Also, as much as I agree with the importance viewers' requests, you can try to do videos that you would like to do. Ofc it is pleasurable to make videos that were requested, but maybe not as much as creating a content that you thought of. That being said, do what makes you feel best, considering all the requests in the comment!
I'm so happy you're uploading again, I hope you're okay. And hey - I have your t-shirt in hoodie version! Please do a video with Olan Rogers whenever he comes to the UK, it would complete my life
In case you haven't noticed, Chris starts projects and then leaves them for like six or seven months. We have no idea if this is gonna work. If this does it'll probably help his depression, if not, it means he's still there. Chronic depression can last years.
if you do "day in the life" vlogs, it could motivate you to find all sorts of cool, quirky and crazy stuff to do with your days. You get awesome life experiences out of it, we get "reaction" videos that havent been done before. win win! :)
Make stuff... You could make muffins, build a pillow fort, assemble a model of the Death Star, learn to knit, whatever...just as long as you're actually making a physical thing. It's a good way to keep from going crazy, and if you make as many mistakes as I do, it could be quite entertaining for others as well.
You're awesome, man, get back in the saddle! I'd love to see you doing collaborations with other youtubers, challenges (maybe those are for the main channel though), playing video games, vlogging, and 'I bet you can't draw' series is one of my favorites honestly :D Take care!
could i suggest something? don't know whether you'd be into it but, how about "what it would be like if the writers of one show wrote a different show?" , e.g. if the writers of scrubs wrote game of thrones - would all GOT characters suddenly have an introspective narrative going on like JD?
I also like the Q&A idea, and I kind of like the idea of doing something like "A Day in the Life of Crabstickz" where you'd clog your day. Those would be neat.
I swear chris whatever you do its sooo entertaining and funny! Seriously you are just a person who can make anything funny but you want some suggestions? 1.explore the outside world! 2.make movie reviews 3.talk about things that pissed you off and things that you liked 4.anything that is in your mind... JUST SPEAK IT! I just want videos from you! Any video
do whatever you want and film it. like literally your sense of humor is so unlike any other youtuber and like anything you do you add your own kind of jokes and whitty clever stuff humor. so like if you just have been hanging out at your place you could film it and joke around. dont take the whole youtube thing toooooo seriously because everything youve already done has been hilarious. just keep going at it cuz youre brilliant
What about a Chris Reads? Where you can read short stories, fanfic, or chapters from books with commentary? Or maybe do like a Gaming Saturday? I don't know. I'd enjoy that.
Welcome back, Chris! I really enjoy your story time with Chris (You know, one was called "My beautiful wife", another was about monkey brains) so would love some more of that!
i like the idea of you going outside and having an explore, find some cool undiscovered places but BE SAFE
YES! An explore with me day or something
AGREEE
Yes thats sounds like a good idea
Like a "let's explore London Tuesday" I don't know what day.
Yes very much in agreement!
scruffy, untidy Chris is just as attractive as clean, cut Chris. Chris is just attractive, I ain't got no type.
Your laughter is infectious. You should make a one minute video of you just fake-laughing into the camera lens until it becomes real laughter and see how weird it gets.
He's honestly the most attractive when he genuinely smiles and laughs, like it just makes me so happy seeing him smile 😭😭😭
Also Chris... Just. DO IT.
Review movies that are on Netflix so I can watch them without leaving the house.
That's a really good idea!
Perfect! And since some of them are so terrible, that could be pretty funny, too!
Chris trying to return to UA-cam seems to be like me trying to do a diet
Go outside! Explore!! Look at a tree
I tried that once, it was horrible. I was attacked by a squirrel.
+Jennifer Ann 😂😂
London - the alternative guided tours. CrabsTourz.
I love it when you just talk to us. I'd love anything though Chris. Anything.
I like that he can make himself laugh.
if bet you can't draw thursdays come back i will be the happiest thing ever
elliegalaxies has spoken! but yes i totally agree :)
Yaaaasss agreeeee
Bring back storytime Sundays! Also you should go on an adventure thru London but bring your mum cuz she was hilarious and so cute!
he needs something to do otherwise he'll go crazy.
so he's going to talk to himself alone every day.
legit.
What's wrong with that?
I talk to myself every day... I ONLY talk to myself... I am my best friend...
=`(
nothing, we all do it on youtube to be fair
Ricardo Llamas I only talk to myself..
..I am my own worst enemy
at least he's talking to a camera and posting it on youtube. I talk to myself in the mirror, I have no friends.
Gargle for 5 minutes
Oh geez... I just came a bit from the thought of Betcha Can't Draw Thursdays coming back. YESSS! DO THAT!! LET'S BRING IT BACK TO CLASSIC CHRIS! Betcha can't draw Captain Morgan flipping pizza dough while grinding down a railing on a skateboard ;)
Yea, stick it to the man! Don't bother with all the stupid production anxiety. JUST MAKE STUFF
Listen to this guy, Chris !
Moustache growth progress videos
Just be you Chris. Make animal impression, Becca Vlog, and Accents. We like it and we will never get tired of watching it..
Your reaction to the fault in our stars made my whole week! Chris, I love you and I would watch /anything/ you post! Bring your old stuff back if you want, but remember that you don't have to listen to us. Do what you want to do, we will love it because it's your video. It makes me sad that you're nervous about this.. Do you want to know what I want to see? You. So do whatever you feel comfortable with, film it and post it on youtube. Your fans will love it any ways!
Bring back the drawing thing! :D
Make up a recipe on the spot and show us how to make it Jamie Oliver style
that is.....actually a really good idea
That's brilliant.
He should have to eat it after!
Please do this.
He should go out, buy random food, then make something out of it like Misha Collins' Fast and Fresh with West
let becca be on this chanel once a week
you did a few sit down have a coffee and a chat type of videos, in which you just had a chat and talked about random stuff, that was fun, do that type of thing maybe
Bet you can't draw Thursdays is a MUST! ... The exploring idea is a good one, I like the sound of that. Question and answers are always decent I guess... Daily vlogs of when you do actually venture out of your flat. Just you talking to the camera on this video is good enough really. My dad will be so happy you're doing this, I think you're the only person who can make him crack a smile.
Play a game of cribbins with someone.
I am genuinely excited for this! I've missed your videos so much. I know you thought it was lame but I found I bet you can't draw very entertaining haha can't wait for more videos!
8 minutes of you jogging
8 minutes of you fucking jogging.
Just a coffee and a chat, i like it a lot when you just put on the camera and talk about shit. Just ramble on about weird things, funny things, stories, jokes anything. You're great and anything you do would be great. I'm very excited to finally have you back, Chris. Cheers.
Wednesday- movie reviews (that way you can get an orange Wednesday code if you a friend to drag everyweek to the cinema)
Thursday - bet you can't draw Thursdays because that was actually hilarious
Saturday - go into different part of London especially where theres tourists and ask questions random questions (you could ask us what questions before) maybe in a different accent every week.
Sunday - daily vlog walking around whatever you do on thst day.
Monday -random weekly news the most weirdest random stories youve heard in the most likely something from the metro paper or shit tv magazines
Hmm that's all I got for now
love you r kid x
Tuesday - make your own cheesy advertise for a household item new or old
I forgot about the drawing thing. That was strangely amusing so that would be amusing to see again! How about you do 'don't react' videos.
I hate that I just used 'amusing' twice in one sentence. I'm sorry. I've hung my head in shame.
You could give Becca a day out of the week! Keep us up to date with her fan girl drama lol
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
I think the sarcastic q and a's and the Bet You Can't Draw Thursdays would be fun!
Chris you're fantastic, you could do a video where you drink coffee for two hours and I'd love it. SO PLEASE DONT FEEL PRESSURE TO DO VIDEOS, I'd rather you be happy and do your own thing.. good luck ily!
"CHRIds react" That one's on me Chris
chris don't do anything u don't want to just do what makes u happy man
also i agree about reaction videos 110%
"Hey, I woke up... then I went back to bed." For the record, Chris, I would totally watch that.
How about videos where you talk about things you're interested in? Or something like having a deep philosophical discussion about the taste of mayonnaise.
The laid back videos are always my favorite. When I'm having a particularly shitty day and need a laugh, my go to is your video about the mouse in your apartment.
Ahh I missed your beautiful face Chris
The videos you did where you used to tell a story including pictures were brilliant. I really want that back.
Do the bet you can't draw, the exploring idea sounds good, maybe a q&a once in a while, maybe try collab with some people , but seriously make videos that you will enjoy making as well don't do something that you're really gonna hate :)
Movie reviews would be rad, cooking show, exploring london, drawing things, or just vlogging and talking about something you want to talk about
Try and collab with people, possibly new people we haven't met before? :3. Just do something you enjoy, otherwise you'll probably just never wanna touch this channel again.
Exploring videos and Bet You Can't Draw videos sound good... I'm also a fan of gaming videos and creative little skits myself. It's entirely up to you Chris, but it's nice to see you using this channel again uwu.
i quite like the "adventure around london" idea like every monday you could go to weird places and vlog
I miss Enrique, also that video where you went shopping with your mum was hilarious and entertaining.
Yes to both of these!
Yes to the sarcastic question-answering!
i would REALLY like it if you made daily videos im getting really excited! bath day sounds good lol.
your reaction on "the fault in our stars"...... spot on!!!!
I really-really loved the honesty of this video; it's quite novel to see something like this on UA-cam - I guess this is what makes your videos truly unique.
To be a bit helpful (hopefully) maybe you could read - the idea in itself is not very groundbreaking but you can do amazing things with your voice and I guess you could nail reciting your favourite poems just as well as adapting the news (like read it how an old london-granny would read it and read how a drunken alpaca would read it); anything which comes to mind, with a twist. I don't know. Maybe it could work, maybe we could send in stuff which would be fun to hear from you.
honestly you could just sit there eating chips and I would still watch
Chris, please do a tutorial for your gorgeous natural look xx thx bb
Parodies of popular online video and adverts. Not usually a big fan of them but your take on "Get a real DVD" was class.
I know this isn't what you want to hear, but seriously, do anything! Anything you want! I love being surprised when you post a video. I never know what it's going to be and I love that. It's so awesome seeing you post videos again. Do what you want and what you feel. I am happy with whatever you post. Grace does "stream of consciousness" videos and those are hilarious. You basically just talk about things that are on your mind and we get to share that with you. I promise, most of us will love what you post. Just be yourself and enjoy it. :) We're glad to have you back!
Cooking with Chris is definitely a thing that should happen. Possibly also your London Adventures/ explore thing you suggested. I'd love to see those!
Being older than most of your subs, I can empathize with stress causing creative paralysis. I've been there myself. I think your idea of just doing things on second channel is a good way to start getting over the paralysis.

Best wishes.
- Q&A with your mom!
- Randome facts about you!
- Challenges
- Review other UA-cam channels
- Prank call
- A video with another UA-camr
Just a couple of ideas ;) I am sooo so happy you are back! You are the funniest UA-camr I know of.
I'd like to hear funny childhood stories. Or just stories from before you started UA-cam.
he’s literally the funniest person on UA-cam i miss him but if not uploading makes him a happier person and his mental health better then I don’t mind missing him
you should make videos you'll be happy to look back on
like if you watch them again, you'd be like, "that was fun, those were good times"
I am crying of laughter at the Fault in our Stars bit. I love you Chris.
oh my god chris i've missed you so much. you could literally do anything and i'd watch (anything within your realm of you, though, so... i guess not literally anything.) reviewing a show/movie that's on netflix would be a good idea, since then most people could see it easily. drawing sounds great. i'd say search around and see if you get any inspiration from other sources like yters and bloggers

This is kind of what I was trying to say, but much more eloquently put :)
Your reaction to the siren was adorable !
Yo. hey man. bro. Okay ideas. Um. Cooking show? but a funny one. or exploring London? but funny. Bathroom tour? idk.
I'd like to see how a 'crabsticks cooking show' would turn out...
* starts petition for Crabstickz Cooking Show *
bathroom every week might get a bit repetitive though... ;)
Look how hot my toilet is
+Lara Srot holy shit I didn't know this got a lot of thumbs up's. LOLz.
I'm so happy you're uploading again, I hope you're okay. And hey - I have your t-shirt in hoodie version! Please do a video with Olan Rogers whenever he comes to the UK, it would complete my life
Chris, you do seem very depressed. I wish I could do something about it. :c
I know.. I felt bad while watching it :/
ayy lmao, just put nigga on drugs that could be fun.
Felt the same :'( chris is a warrioooorrrrr ! Go chris !
He is doing something about it, sitting alone in his house everyday is boring. Hes making videos he has something to do now.
In case you haven't noticed, Chris starts projects and then leaves them for like six or seven months. We have no idea if this is gonna work. If this does it'll probably help his depression, if not, it means he's still there. Chronic depression can last years.
This is honestly the funniest thing I've watched, so happy I watched this!
if you do "day in the life" vlogs, it could motivate you to find all sorts of cool, quirky and crazy stuff to do with your days. You get awesome life experiences out of it, we get "reaction" videos that havent been done before. win win! :)
I always loved the "bet you can't draw whatever"
Do all the things!
actually makes sense though...
Make stuff... You could make muffins, build a pillow fort, assemble a model of the Death Star, learn to knit, whatever...just as long as you're actually making a physical thing. It's a good way to keep from going crazy, and if you make as many mistakes as I do, it could be quite entertaining for others as well.
smol bean
+janine g. SAME
Thank you for coming back Chris! We missed you!!!
You should become a beauty
vlogger
I've missed the daily crabstickz2 videos so much! Thursdays were embarrassingly my favourite ;)
Make-up tutorials!
Chris, you make my soul happy. That is all.
idk if you have noticed but you remind me of this youtuber called becca hodgekins
You're awesome, man, get back in the saddle! I'd love to see you doing collaborations with other youtubers, challenges (maybe those are for the main channel though), playing video games, vlogging, and 'I bet you can't draw' series is one of my favorites honestly :D Take care!
all the tags, even ones that dont exist
You're fucking great at your job, Chris. Never stop making videos
could i suggest something? don't know whether you'd be into it but, how about "what it would be like if the writers of one show wrote a different show?" , e.g. if the writers of scrubs wrote game of thrones - would all GOT characters suddenly have an introspective narrative going on like JD?
I also like the Q&A idea, and I kind of like the idea of doing something like "A Day in the Life of Crabstickz" where you'd clog your day. Those would be neat.
A "How I do my makeup" video. PLEASE.
I swear chris whatever you do its sooo entertaining and funny! Seriously you are just a person who can make anything funny but you want some suggestions? 1.explore the outside world! 2.make movie reviews 3.talk about things that pissed you off and things that you liked 4.anything that is in your mind... JUST SPEAK IT! I just want videos from you! Any video
Didn't need my heart...lost the last piece at 1:32 - 1:34
Bring back bet you can't draw thursdays! Also the finding places in london sounds like fun.
you should be on SNL!
do whatever you want and film it. like literally your sense of humor is so unlike any other youtuber and like anything you do you add your own kind of jokes and whitty clever stuff humor. so like if you just have been hanging out at your place you could film it and joke around. dont take the whole youtube thing toooooo seriously because everything youve already done has been hilarious. just keep going at it cuz youre brilliant
What about a Chris Reads? Where you can read short stories, fanfic, or chapters from books with commentary? Or maybe do like a Gaming Saturday? I don't know. I'd enjoy that.
2:27 I want to give Chris a hug and a shoulder to cry on, he looks like he needs it.
You should do surreal sketches
Chris you are a dreamboat - glad you're back!
gaming videos except with board games
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA! Why has no-one liked this comment?
Welcome back, Chris! I really enjoy your story time with Chris (You know, one was called "My beautiful wife", another was about monkey brains) so would love some more of that!
please do more vlogs!:)
Sarcastic Sunday's with CrabStickz. xxx
I still can't tell if he's serious
just do what you want to do which will make you happy :D so glad your posting again :)
