Watched this with a huge grin plastered on my face! It's the small things that makes the big difference, you probably made someones day or even brightened their lives a little bit..
Totally LOVE this, Austin! The power of human touch to bring such genuine joy to people is the gift that keeps on giving! Bless you for blessing us and for all the people you hugged!
You know some videos make you laugh and some videos just give you a good feeling. For me this video is one of the later. I think it was just as rewarding for you and those you hugged when you made, it as it was for us watching it. A triple play!
Aw Austin! This is sooo cool.. Right now I can think of so many positive things to say! You know this really makes me think that these are the small things that make the world go on, I know this sounds cheesy, but this was really awesome. I don't think I would have the courage to do this.. Which makes the fact that you did it, even cooler! Thumbs up mate!
i really love this video. seriously. because you dont know if someone is having a really bad day and they just need a good hug. i smiled the whole time :)
this made me smile because you were bringing so much love by giving free hugs i love you guys keep up the great work and maybe one day you will be as famous as nighiga and all those youtbe stars ( but your a youtube star to me
Hugs, a forgotten tradition which improves everyone's life for the better! Kudos to you guys for raising awareness and spreading love to everyday people. We can bring back the popularity of hugs and change the world to what it is meant to be! :)
OMG I `cant believe I didn't recognize you were at Laguna Beach until like halfway through the video. I used to live there! haha..and what a cool effect when you transistioned from grey to color on the first hug...That must have just been the best day ever doing that! This video made me feel so good...thanks a million!
This was one wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing your video and your hugs. The world needs more guys like you spreading what we have long forgotten..All we need is HUGS..:)
This is so awesome. I just read an article about drama/chaos at a recent Trump rally, where a guy was offering "Free Hugs". The way people were being so confrontational towards the 'giver', over such a simple gesture is pathetic & sad! And then I remembered my time living in Laguna Beach & the kid I passed with a Free Hug sign. I just found your video! LOL. 5 years ago, & it left a sweet impression on me. I am at 5:04! Thanks guys for posting... made me feel relieved there is hope for humanity.
+CAR REVIEWS: 0 TO 100 That's AMAZING!!! I'm so glad you were able to find this video & that you even remembered our encounter 5 years later!!! The world can be a pretty spooky place, but it'll only get better if we make it better! Even if it's just 1 hug at a time! :)
I think it's cool that you hug the guys and the gals! your an equal opprotunity hugger! haha...that makes peoples day. Sometimes something so simple can really change a persons day and even sometimes make huge difference for someone. Good for you dude! :) P.S. you have the greatest smile too!
Don't you know that puffy-eye feeling you get right before your eyes start to water from something emotional?...Yep..its happening..*sigh*...Damn you,Austin...I love you,bro
ommggggg this made me smile! urr sooo cutee austin! i smiled like the whole time. it was so cute... hey did i mention that it was cute, and i smiled the whole time? well i did soo.... :P
OK - I admit when I first saw the title I thought I'd see someone making a fool of themselves b/c they felt attention depraved. But before I knew it the video ended. You found a way to reach into these people and draw out that American spirit of kinship that normally only surfaces after a major tragedy like 9 11. It looks like you had as good of a time as everyone in the video. Plus viewers on UA-cam, obviously, also got the same feeling - win-win situation! I've been humbled. Thank you.

It just goes to show one simple gesture can make peoples day and warm people's hearts. Even the viewers at home. Good on you Austin:)
I agree with you man. A little love can go a long way. At no cost!....

HOW COULD YOU SAY NO TO A HUG, THEY'RE ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS IN THE WORLD
I love these free hugs videos. They make smile no matter how I am feeling!
:') I am in tears right now. I loved that guy that dropped the surf board and just hugged you like you meant the world to him :)
You know some videos make you laugh and some videos just give you a good feeling. For me this video is one of the later. I think it was just as rewarding for you and those you hugged when you made, it as it was for us watching it. A triple play!
How good can life get? Living in Laguna Beach and getting hugs from all the beautiful people!
Aw Austin! This is sooo cool.. Right now I can think of so many positive things to say!

One hug can make a person's day better...
