uploading my first street interview in two years really means more than I know how to express, so naturally im gonna try to express it *eyeroll* I never realized how fulfilling these videos were for me, how empowering these videos were for me, and how truly just fun these videos were for me. I cant lie, even after uploading, I feel fearful of people being let down by this return or hearing that Im not as funny as my old interviews. There have just been so many people online who have been interviewing strangers since I put mine on pause and have become staples on the internet for doing so now. I just felt really insecure where my place with this all is but after editing it and seeing the excitement with the teasers alone, I just feel really lucky and grateful to have so many people still rooting for me (especially after I stopped rooting for myself many times) and excited for the return of these. I am working out the kinks with them, as its a muscle that has been unused for 2 years lmao. idk what this was but I want you to know my gratitude for the support, love, and encouragement. I am so so lucky.
the fucking dude who “hasn’t cried since he was 8” and “knows covid doesn’t exist” was a real treat. can’t believe people are still actually like that 🙄🙄
I love how aware of your privilege you are!! The line “I know I’m a white guy why would you trust me” made me CACKLE thank you for being so open and real Chris ilysm
i was crying within the first couple minutes. i can’t believe all the shit that we’ve all been through and continue to go through. thank you for always trying your best, Chris.
This was probably one of the best street interviews. I love the convo with the covid denier and that Chris isn't afraid to be confrontational. He is such a natural!
When i tell you my jaw DROPPED seeing this pop up. I'm so happy to see you doing these videos again Chris. I'm so thankful we all made it through this pandemic and are able to be back here again
I can't believe it's been nearly 2 years since you've filmed one of these. March 2020 feels like it was simultaneously yesterday and a lifetime ago. Your interviewing videos got me through so many dark moments while in university and finally being able to watch a new one, after the absurdity of graduating online last year, makes me beyond happy that I could literally cry. Thank you so much Chris.
@@ThatDataLady UA-cam can be such a safe space. Carly & Erin and Chris were who made me feel sane bc I was in Texas where everyone acted like this pandemic didn’t exist. So being able to watch people just doing the same mundane sh*t as me in quarantine kept me from losing my actual mind lmao.
@@witchingbrew3 what for? 😊 Dont get me wrong, I am from Denmark, I also went through a strict lockdown. But life is more than staying in isolation. Corona will be with us for quite some time and we have to live with it🤗 no need to live in fear!
Chris, I discovered your channel around March 2020 when the pandemic really started to get serious here in Canada. Your videos helped me get through that strange and scary time and I'm so grateful to you for it. The last couple of years have been so hard from Covid, to my mum getting diagnosed with cancer, to then losing her. Thank you for making me laugh, brightening my day and making things just a little bit better. Keep doing you.
As someone who works in retail and deals with people exactly like the dude at 5:32 all day it’s so refreshing to see a reaction to what he is saying. I gave up so long ago hahahahaha
chris as someone who knows your personality youre funny but if i were someone in the street and i accidentally said something silly, i'd walk away with tears in my eyes and be like "wow that guys mean"
not me in fully blown tears watching the beginning. this whole pandemic has been so traumatizing, eye-opening, and full of so much personal growth. Chris you bring us so much sanity & im so thankful for u and that ur share ur art w/ us :)))
Chris. You have no idea... how fuckin LONGGGGG I've been waiting for another one of these interview strangers on the street videos! Ahhhh! LITERALLY screaming!
@@chrisklemens omg and you replied! You are oh so welcome! I fuckin adore you! You've made me laugh and brought so much joy in my life.. you've got no idea! Thank you for simply being you and sharing it w us! I. Fuckin. Love. You! 😊🙌🙏
When everything started getting locked down I was having the most terrifying apocalyptic dreams for weeks & eventually found your channel. Watching you became something that helped calm my worries & just feel better overall
omg almost same thing for me i was going through a hard time right before and during the lock down and finding his videos rlly helped to calm me down and help me feel better (: glad you were able to find a way to feel better during unfortunate times as well!
Love this, Chris! :) never doubt your comedic talent-the people you draw in are the people that are supposed to be there. You’re a talent. You bring joy to so many. Promise.
So beyond happy that YOU are happy and uploading this when you felt the time was right. So lucky to have followed you through this all! This video is great, can’t wait for more if more come!
This made my covid experience better. I got covid on my birthday 5 days ago and couldn't visit my family anymore. I cried on the phone with my mom telling her i couldnt smell or taste. It's been hard on me mentally. I've taken every precaution i could to try avoiding it and seeing the positive result crushed me. Thanks for making my day chris
Omg same! It was my birthday 2 days ago and I got covid for the first time in 2 years after doing everything I could not to get it. Happy belated birthday hope you feel better soon!
idk what it is, but hearing you say the word "gooseberry" followed by "what the fuck is a", but mostly just "gooseberry" made not just my day, but my entire life. I could watch that over and over like once a week and it would release serotonin and dopamine in my brain every time.
I first discovered your channel through these videos. You have a talent for bringing people together and making them laugh!! hope to run into u on the street someday
I feel like I’ve aged so much since the last one of these. Like I graduated college, moved out, got a job and my whole life has changed but your videos are still the only thing getting me through it all 🥴🥴
I didn't know how much I missed these until now, but DAMN you've still got it. Side question: did you sanitize the mic after Mr. Cool Guy who didn't believe in covid spewed his nasty mouth germs all over it? That was grossing me out the whole time lol
Mr sociopath guy who likes to have opinions he can’t back up 😂 is it surprising he doesn’t care about people dying when sociopaths lack all empathy for humans ?
Hell Yeah!! The recap at the beginning was sobering, and reminded me of how much we have all been through. Your interviews were wonderfully Chris, and that sweater and woman made my day! You are always a joy to watch!!
Gooseberry man has a intriguing aura about him, what other types if berries has he eaten with his breakfast, will we ever know? 🤔 truly a man of mystery
THESE (along with all your other lovely content) WERE THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY ENTIRE QUARANTINE, I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE STARTING THEM BACK UP AGAIN! Thank you for all the entertainment you’ve brought us over this rough time ❤️
this is gonna sound so corny but videos like this honestly saved me. every time i had a terrible day, i would just rewatch all of your interview videos. your podcasts are what i fall asleep to so i don’t have ptsd nightmares. genuinely, your videos help so much. thank you so much for bringing the interviews back 💜 love u, homie
Hope you're doing well, Chris! I feel like the intro/covid recap to this video was a great addition. It's crazy looking back on those early days. Love the content! And love our friend in the green velour jacket - I'd follow her too lol
I discovered your videos, and watched all of your "on the street" videos during the first shut down. This brought back so many memories!! Thank you for getting me through the start of the pandemic and brining this treasure back!
CHRIS IVE WAITED ALL DAY I CLICKED THE SECOND IT POPPED UP. THANK YOU. THESE VIDEOS HELPED ME THRU SUCH A HARD TIME IN MY LIFE IM LITERALLY CRYING THAT IM ABOUT TO WATCH A NEW ONE FINALLY ♡
i'm realizing these were some of the first videos i watched of yours omg. i found your channel and binged your videos for weeks during covid when i wasn't working and wouldn't leave my bed. so stoked to see you back doing what you love💞 so much love for you chris !!!
I started watching you right when the pandemic started and bingewatched all of your street interviews. I’m so glad to see these back! Thank you for being a consistent source of entertainment during these hard times
I live for the honest reactions of those getting the money from nowhere. How beautifully freaked out they are, because we've built a world out of mistrust and filled it with the ideals that "no one does anything out of the goodness of their heart, there's always a motive".. to see the true joy and gratefulness blanket all that classically conditioned nonsense. You've made people feel true generosity. That's an amazing thing, Chris. I love you for it.
These videos were how i first found chris and now i cant believe im watching one again! PS that first clip was filmed on my 17th bday and now im almost 19, thats crazy

We’ve missed them so much !! I’m here laughing just as much as I did when I first came across them! Love the dysfunction, Chris ! 🥰🙌🏽
You are incredible.
so happy to see you doing this again chris
not me tearing up at this 🥺 you are unique and no one does it like you, period. You’re Chris god damn Klemens. 💚💚
I started watching you when you made videos like these years ago and love them so much!
i cannot believe i’ve survived quarantine long enough to see the return of interviewing strangers
I SWEAR
SAME
same
@@chrisklemens 💀
Bro! FOR REAL!! It's one of my favorite things he does on his channel!!
i laughed out loud way too hard when her faced blurred for half a second and came back to normal this video is everything i needed and so much more
the fucking dude who “hasn’t cried since he was 8” and “knows covid doesn’t exist” was a real treat. can’t believe people are still actually like that 🙄🙄
i thought you said ‘threat’ and honestly its kinda true too🤣
I love that Chris definitely could have just edited that douchebag out but instead he said, today I’m giving ✨range✨
and he called himself a sociopath, like if he doesnt believe in science how would he know what one is hahaha
alpha male
Omg i thought he said he cried at 8 or 9, like AM 😭😭
the way you dealt with the "covid is not real" loser was perfect, I've missed these videos so much
The way I was smiling THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH!! "I'll follow you or whatever..." I LOVED IT
SAME
I love her
Words cannot explain how happy the woman who got the $250 made me, she was so cute
right I loved her so much.
her "i'll follow you or whatever" was adorableee
@@supaloulou YES!! she was just so sweet and responded to chris’ attitude so funnily😭
Same!! Her smile was so contagious
i hope she got many good items at bed bath and beyond
I love how aware of your privilege you are!! The line “I know I’m a white guy why would you trust me” made me CACKLE thank you for being so open and real Chris ilysm
For real the last bit with Oscar the grouch was everything
i was crying within the first couple minutes. i can’t believe all the shit that we’ve all been through and continue to go through. thank you for always trying your best, Chris.
This was probably one of the best street interviews. I love the convo with the covid denier and that Chris isn't afraid to be confrontational. He is such a natural!
“What if we blur your face”
Proceeds to blur face for .2 seconds
IM SCREAMINGGGG
😂😂😂😂
When i tell you my jaw DROPPED seeing this pop up. I'm so happy to see you doing these videos again Chris. I'm so thankful we all made it through this pandemic and are able to be back here again
“why are you wearing 2 masks?” “well one for you” 💀💀💀
Iconic
I cackled
It's admirable how confident he is with strangers
The beginning was literally like a movie recap, I'm in love with this content Chris!

This made such a horrible day so much better. Thank you for bringing these back!! It means more to us than you think.
Thank YOU for being so excited about them. They mean so much to me so I get it....didnt even realize it until uploading this one
Same here
Same. Absolute shit day but at least we have Chris to make things better
@@chrisklemens love you chris
Gooseberry guy had me rolling, “all right is that all, alright thank you” 🤣🤣🤣
As one of what feels like the only people who actually quarantined, you literally got me through the pandemic. So glad we both made it here.
Chris klemens and Colleen Balinger got me through it. Also old Jenna and Julien videos. Also Claire saffis

Same. Im still quarantining low key. I don't go out unless it's for a my walk, going grocery shopping and bank.

Chris you get funnier every time you upload. You're the only youtuber who can make me GENUINELY laugh
Getting a like from the man himself has truly made my day. Hope you find out what gooseberries are Chris! 🤪✌🏻
love that the covid denier guy is also a pathological sociopath makes sense actually
As someone who works in retail and deals with people exactly like the dude at 5:32 all day it’s so refreshing to see a reaction to what he is saying. I gave up so long ago hahahahaha
3 months late but yes omfg 😂

“Ben AFLACK” killed me. I laughed way longer than I want to admit
SAMEEE ELMFAO IT WAS SO UNEXPECTED BUAHABAUA
not me in fully blown tears watching the beginning. this whole pandemic has been so traumatizing, eye-opening, and full of so much personal growth. Chris you bring us so much sanity & im so thankful for u and that ur share ur art w/ us :)))
Thank you for every piece of entertainment you’ve provided for us through this pandemic! But I sure am ready for these videos to make a comeback !!

“bro one day… i hope to be as fucking cool as that guy” had me cackling
The one man "how subtle should i be?"
That exact same man *wearing a shirt that bluntly says "fuck it"*
Our species is not made to last 😂
The Oscar the grouch girl is a queen, glad she got the money and happy to have this style of video back! 🥰
*Cornavirus still exists*
Chris in 2022: puts microphones next to everyone's mouths and back to his lmao
mmm corn
Wow wow wow those flashbacks to 2020 needed a trigger warning 😰
Chris THANK YOU for this, cannot express the amount of joy that this brought me ♥️
This video felt like the first warm sunny day after winter, seasonal depression who?? I love you so much💗
I am watching this at 530 am after a bad nightmare. Can’t stop laughing. Chris , I love ya. 😂🧡
5:23 - this guy is just LIVING.... in his own world
I cannot tell you how much this is helping get through this shitty weekend
Takes me back to the good ol days. I’ve missed these so much
I am SO glad these are finally back, they give me so much joy and happiness🤧🤧
The beginning made me emotional 🥺 what a crazy two years
IM SOOO GLAD THESE ARE BACK AHHHH these are my favorite
never clicked a video so fast, this is what ive been waiting for, for two years. life has finally become meaningful again. Thank you a thousand times.
I live for the honest reactions of those getting the money from nowhere. How beautifully freaked out they are, because we've built a world out of mistrust and filled it with the ideals that "no one does anything out of the goodness of their heart, there's always a motive".. to see the true joy and gratefulness blanket all that classically conditioned nonsense. You've made people feel true generosity. That's an amazing thing, Chris. I love you for it.
These videos were how i first found chris and now i cant believe im watching one again!
PS that first clip was filmed on my 17th bday and now im almost 19, thats crazy
Th way I SCREAMED when I got the notification! CHRIS! NEVER STOP POSTING THESE!!!
These are the kind of videos Chris was making when I started watching him. Love to see it
