I didn't even laugh out loud when he said that, but it is one of the funniest things I've heard recently. I can't get over how stupid and funny it is haha. A man from Medieval times trying to talk cool and hip for the kids.
Man, I did not expect to see this in 2024. It honestly felt immediately wrong and off doing that interview, I was a weird, insecure, deeply cringe human at age 18 and the girl interviewing me was wanting me and my friends to play it up even further. Kind of a good lesson for me ultimately about saying no and not aspiring to be a sideshow, but definitely a tough one at the time and one I really wanted to never see again. This was definitely an uncomfortable watch but I appreciate the goodwill and empathy from Crit and the commenters. If you are ever an awful tiny blip of online infamy, be patient with yourself. Things will get better if you let them
If this is actually the guy and you aren't trolling, I feel for you. Reminds me of my brother when he was younger. We all have our quirks and being asked to play them up feels kinda yucky.
No use? Bah, it's in the name, laddy! You get many pockets! Never again will you need to leave home without your handy dandy Nin Tendo Switch, or 200 piece puzzle by your side!
I knew a guy in high school that reminds me a lot of Klamer. He always wore a leather jacket, talked with such confidence in his little quirks and tendency to give people nicknames and tell outlandish stories. He was a guy I only hung out with during lunch, and I feel like everyone who hung out with him knew he was putting on an act to feel more confident in himself, but he was fun to eat with. I remember my last year of high school seeing him interviewed on the school news much like in this video, and he was so nervous and visibly uncomfortable, so different than I was used to seeing him. Kinda made me sad
He isn't wrong there is always one or two kids like this every year for people like us to get the pleasure and joy to meet and know of each and every year.
@@DavidmasPoop honestly yeah W friends he seems like the type of guy that’s weird asf but once you get know he’s actually chill asf you just gotta ignore the weird as fuck part of him. I have friends like that and they chill asf
They were all in on the joke. Just a group of friends hyping one of them up for the laughs. Probably sharing this video now amongst each other and having a laugh.

After getting diagnosed with high-functioning ASD, I've started to be able to spot people like myself. Not saying this guy is autistic, but he's definitely "spergy". But these are the nicest people you will ever meet. They also tend to be more accepting compared to others. I love people like this. We can do cringe things and be happy together!
This man definitely doesn't have any condoms in his coat of many pockets, meanwhile I carry gallons of lube everywhere I go. So whose actually cooler????
I kinda think we need more people like this, i love interesting unique fellas that arent afraid to be cringe. Be cringe be free. Act however u want, he seems like a nice guy too. Love this guy
Exactly. The internet shot themselves in the foot when they started calling stuff cringe. People should be allowed to express themselves however they want. We have one life and to hell with the naysayers.
I was a theatre MAJOR and we didnt have anyone even close to this level of unironic cringe. Yes there were moments, but permanent choices like this dude? Holy Fuck.
I'm just glad that I had those years before social media, I made all cringey and non-cringey mistakes known to every generation of teenagers, and none of it was recorded. Mistakes make us who we are, and I often feel people today can't grow to their full potential due to having a chilling effect of camera's.
Well said. I agree 100% and I believe many older millennials are very uncomfortable with the constant filming and social media stuff for this very reason. We know by this age that we evolve as we learn and grow and don’t want to held to who we were a decade or two ago. 😬
Dude this guy is a legend. Just be who you want to be and don't care what anyone thinks. Even what you think yourself 10 years later. Own it. Look back with pride man.
He probably still gets nightmares about his college years. Also--just going to shamelessly plug--I'm hoping some of you might like the music I make too :)
This 100% reminds me of the guy I went to Highschool with. He talked in a British accent and I got to meet his parents one day and I FULLY EXPECTED them to be British...but they weren't. In fact they were from the Midwest and had a Midwestern accent. When I asked why he talked that way they didn't even know either and they laughed awkwardly. The dude wore a Trench coat, and fedora...and I WOULD'VE been good friends with him had he not stollen my Gloomy Bear. Those things weren't cheap and I was trying to collect them. They meant a lot to me and thought I could trust him when he asked to borrow one of them for the day. I saw him carrying it in his own "Coat of Many Pockets" and he had the gall to say he "Lost it". I was really sad.
he actually seems so nice and cool. genuinely would’ve loved to be one of his friends and as a former theater musical kid i have met my fair share of Clamer’s. rooting for this guy and hope he’s happy and living a good life
I used to be an immature brat in elementary school especially in 4th and 3rd grade, I was that kid who would lie about everything in my life, and it eventually became a roast comeback in middle school (where I currently am in as of now, 8th grade) and up to today I get bullied for everything about it, as well as not following main personalities pretty much every kid uses today now, but at least it teaches me a lesson that no matter what, you can be the closest to being the perfect human being, you'll always go through some embarrassing moments in your life as well as struggles.
Hate to break it to ya, but seeing as you're like 14, you're probably still an immature brat. And your cringiest years are yet to come. And it won't even stop there. So, you know, try not to lose any sleep over it. It's fine.
Honestly this isn't even cringe to me, he could've played it off like he doing an acting bit that shit made me die laughing. He's so unironically funny probably because of how serious he is.
Back in highschool I thought I would be cool if I stood in the back of the band room at choir and flipped a coin until they needed me. The truest of cringe happened in those days
As a mildly autistic person who went to 5 different school growing up, I feel this. I'm just thankful I didn't grow up in the time of social media and cell phones to record it all.
Mildly autistic is one thing, especially as a kid, but these are college students, this man is an adult acting like a 12 year old with no self awareness..Nothing good usually comes from things like that
”It’s going chillfully thus far” is the worst sentence to ever register in my neurons. It will embed itself deep into my subconscious, haunting me every night like a constant nightmare.😂😂😂
my lord if this wasn't me when i was a kid, like one of the things i kept in my pocket was a fossilized french fry and my gag was to pull it out and ask people if they were hungry in the middle of class. I'm so glad my lol random xd phase wasn't documented like this
I've been divorced and lost my mother to cancer, and one of the most painful experiences I've ever had was finding the flyer for an anime club I tried to start in freshman year of college.
@@Ethan-wr2os Got any reason to believe that? He only talked about and pulled things out of his pocket that the last guy talked about. Also the "coat of many pockets" has 2 pockets. It feels like a school acting assignment.
"Chillfully thus far!" Brilliant bruh! 😅🤣 dude is like an oblivion npc! The girl interviewing is quite cute and has insane patience. He also does remind me a bit of my dumb mannerisms! 😂 the coat of many pockets is great!
Not necessarily, it just means you've changed perspectives. Someone could very well cringe at "being nice" but that's not maturing. Same with idubbbz, he hasn't matured if anything he de-matured, being as whiny as all the people he was talking about on content cop.
I can relate. I'm on the autism spectrum, and sometimes, my most awkward, cringe memories come back to haunt me as intrusive thoughts. Makes me think "Oh God, why did I say/do that?" over and over.
...I carried a full sized can of febreze in my blazer most days. I once almost got in trouble because the vice principle thought my bagpipe chanter was a "smoking device" I was one forced accent awake from being this guy.
"coat of many pockets" feels like a DnD item akin to the "bag of holding", but it would have like a second effect that every now and then you'd have to roll a d20 before pulling something out and it'd give you a random object in your possesion instead of the one you wanted if you failed
Lol yea speaking of using DnD for cringey naming conventions.. as a bisexual man with a promiscuous past I used to tell my intimate partners that I called my member the "D!ck of Many Things".. how I walked away with out an STD and lifelong friends will remain a mystery to me
It's good to be in a place where you can just accept yourself as you are and just not care what others think of you. It would be better to be friendless than to have people "like" me for someone who I truly am not.
I started watching the original video because I wanted to see it uninterrupted by commentary, then I came back here because I was cringing so hard that I needed the frequent breaks for commentary.
I knew an animated guy like this in HS, but since we were in an artsy school he was seen as more adorable and the type to be friends with everyone. Don’t worry, Charlie, cringe pasts aren’t always as cringe as they seem. They’re just wacky chapters in a wacky life.
@@doms4885 Don't take everything that society dictates as gospel. If you enjoy it, you need not care what others say. (obviously none of us are that immune to others opinions, but to the extent that we can)
Well I knew a guy at my college who was just like this. At first I thought it was an act but it turns out that was really and genuinely him. He would wear a long black trench coat and talked in poetry even when he was mad. Turns out he had autism and he sadly passed a few years after college. RIP Henry. A great guy, indeed.
He reminds me of when I first went to college back in 2005/2006 and one student was known as, "chainmail guy" because he spent his breaks linking chainmail together and would exclusively discuss chainmail related activities. I don't even think he was part of a larping group, he just really enjoyed chainmail. He came as a chainmail Twilight Princess Link for the campus Halloween party one year. I hope he made a career out of making custom chainmail for cosplayers or something related.
I knew a guy who made chain mail back in the 1970s. It was cool. Very heavy to wear though. We wore it on the NYC subways and got a lot of strange looks and people moving away from us. We were members of a club called Society for Creative Anachronism. It was a sort of medieval club with magic and legends. We’d all dress up for a party or picnic. Again, we got a lot of strange looks but at the time it was really fun. Now at age 66 it’s beyond cringe.
Ngl that is pretty badass. Chainmail isn't easy to make! It also functions as great weight training gear, and top tier stab/slash protection if you are so inclined...
I would also add that it's weirdly inspiring that he has the humility and self reflection to talk about his embarrassing past in the open. It's very easy for anyone to just refrain from ever acknowledging it at all, and yet here we have Charlie taking it like a champ, allowing us to recognize the growth he has gone through.
@@affluenzashot it's not that deep. Everyone has cringe moments they learn from and expect the next person to as well. Charles is diff in that he went hard in the cringe early as a form of content investment. Now look at him. Raking it in, so much cringe he must be a hero.
@@louievazquez5231 Deep or heroic would not be ways I'd describe it either. The point I'm trying to make is that it can be useful to normalize this level of transparency, especially when it's all too common for public figures to try and obscure their past for the sake of something like ego or optics. I remember in the early 2000's when everyone online seemed to avoid being labeled "cringeworthy" like the plague. It however undermines the fact that being cringe is a certain risk for content creators trying to explore their own format, and the age-old stigma against cringe only stifled creativity and prevented new content creators from wanting to continue.
I've definitely thought about reinventing my personality when moving to a new school from being a introvert to an extrovert and just winging it but these two legends had the balls to actually go through with it
I was expecting a much stranger plaid coat the way it was being hyped up by everyone than what it ended up being. Also, she was great at interviewing him like there was no awkwardness and keeping the conversation going even though he did sound a bit nervous about it and he was a good sport for being interviewed!
Sometimes, when I'm lying in bed peacefully, something insignificant I did or said 15 years ago will pop into my head and I cringe so deeply I feel it in my soul. I have no idea why, but it sucks
Why add „weirdo“? Just call it a pervert. „Weird“ is odd, eccentric, strange. That’s not what comes to mind when it comes to a pervert. A pervert is a sick, depraved fuck. Sexual harassment and assault is not a „weird quirky teehee“ thing. Please don’t spread it as such.
Yeah middle school me dry humping the air as a dance move at the school dance while a girl was basically begging to dance w me doesn’t leave a good thought in my head now
Klamer is more relatable than most normal people. We all were cringe, we all have weird shit in our pockets sometimes, we all have metal fragments wrapped in a Norwegian flag in those pockets
Most people care way too much what other people think about them. It’s always been a little strange to me to care so much about what someone is doing, especially if it’s something harmless like collecting rocks lol
Okay but “it’s going chillfully thus far” is pretty good. I’m going to have a hard time not answering with that every time someone asks me how I’m doing from now on.
I did the same thing except with a drawstring bag. It's just very comforting to have a bunch of stuff on you. And when people ask you can just say "You never know."
It’s so funny because I feel like I did this in middle school and Charlie here is doing it when he is 20 lol. I love whenever you talk about this era of your life. I only started watching anime this summer but the basic gist was the same.
@@shiruotakuno28dude Donald trump has a college degree and that man is literally stared at an eclipse and thought he was standing next to Frederick Douglas.
Not so much channeling an anime character as he is Frasier or Niles Crane, and I'm expecting to hear him at any moment say "away with you, wrinkly thing."
I like to imagine that immediately after this interview, he asked the girl out and she immediately let out an involuntary chuckle. In that moment, he had the most intense, burning clarity of his entire life and at all at once he saw himself for what he actually was.
When I was about 9 or 10, I'd do the Mr. Bean voice, but only towards this couple who were my Dad's friends. He was a mechanic, and she "apparently" worked for INTERPOL... I'd go over their place after school, to eat mini-pizzas and play Heroes of Might and Magic III. Upon their departure, as a token of my gratitude, I gave them the Bionicle CD that came out on cereal boxes, which included a 2D platformer and the track 'Radio Girl'.
I, too, have hoarded random bits of interesting metal since at least my middle school days. But it's always stayed in some random box in some random drawer where it belongs, not stuffed in my pockets like the worst loot ever for whatever unlucky adventurer who slays me.
The reason we feel cringe is knowing we were in a similar position once, or if not, that if we were in that position, we'd be embarrassed. So people who aren't able to feel the cringe emanating from themselves are low-key the strongest. They make US feel THEIR embarrassment for them.
"It's going chillfully thus far" is a wonderful phrase
The second I heard him say that I had to pause the video, it was too much 💀
Pretty sure it's "cheerfully" but yeah even still, it is a wonderful phrase, indeed I suppose
I didn't even laugh out loud when he said that, but it is one of the funniest things I've heard recently. I can't get over how stupid and funny it is haha. A man from Medieval times trying to talk cool and hip for the kids.
He's like the real life Newman
_Why do we cringe? Is it not because we recognize some aspect of ourselves in these poor, goofy souls? Mmm.. Food for thought…_

my lord if this wasn't me when i was a kid, like one of the things i kept in my pocket was a fossilized french fry and my gag was to pull it out and ask people if they were hungry in the middle of class. I'm so glad my lol random xd phase wasn't documented like this
I've been divorced and lost my mother to cancer, and one of the most painful experiences I've ever had was finding the flyer for an anime club I tried to start in freshman year of college.
jesus
Oooof… lol
Lmao reminds me of the time I made some anime painting on this big board and hung it up in my room and thought nobody would notice 😂😂
That wouldn’t be crime nwo
Honestly fair
The interviewer handled that with grace. She could have been such a dick about the whole thing but she was a good sport and kept it professional
It was fake
@@ItsMeYourRealDadI chillfully disagree
@@ItsMeYourRealDad You ain't so good at reading the room huh lol it's very real
I was waiting for her to say "You sire, draweth thyne mind in no vagueness to the upon thy codpiece in thyne britches."
@@Ethan-wr2os Got any reason to believe that? He only talked about and pulled things out of his pocket that the last guy talked about. Also the "coat of many pockets" has 2 pockets. It feels like a school acting assignment.
This is my favorite video from your content, I love 2000s home school kid lore
"Chillfully thus far!" Brilliant bruh! 😅🤣 dude is like an oblivion npc! The girl interviewing is quite cute and has insane patience. He also does remind me a bit of my dumb mannerisms! 😂 the coat of many pockets is great!
4:42 "Well, it's going chillfully thus far" Oh what a beauty!! A true chad wordsmith after my own heart, bless his cotton socks!!
Yo mama
Bless his cotton socks had me rolling on the sofa while slapping my knees 😂😂
I very unironically love that line
I think i might quote that tbh
“When you cringe at your old memories, you are maturing”
Don't read my name!
@@Dont_Read_My_Pictureok i wont
@@Dont_Read_My_Picturejoke’s on you buddy! I can’t read anyway.
Not necessarily, it just means you've changed perspectives. Someone could very well cringe at "being nice" but that's not maturing. Same with idubbbz, he hasn't matured if anything he de-matured, being as whiny as all the people he was talking about on content cop.
@@xFluing yall idubz fanboys have him living rent free at all times is insane. move on.
YO I have been looking for this video for ages! Thank you CHARLIE! THIS IS CHILLFULLY THUS FAR!
ngl everyone needs a cringebag so openly cringe that it helps everyone to feel less embarrassed about their own cringe, unsung heroes fr
I can relate. I'm on the autism spectrum, and sometimes, my most awkward, cringe memories come back to haunt me as intrusive thoughts. Makes me think "Oh God, why did I say/do that?" over and over.
Who asked: My content is better..
It happens to us all you buffoon. Hell, I laugh a bit differently than other people I should blame ADHD on it💀

I'm so glad my weird phase never got this bad. I have enough to cringe about already.
...I carried a full sized can of febreze in my blazer most days. I once almost got in trouble because the vice principle thought my bagpipe chanter was a "smoking device"
I was one forced accent awake from being this guy.
@@ThatBigRedBearthat's still bad 😅
can anyone let me know what’s the weirdest phase u can possibly be in before it just becomes labeled as autism?
@@dantepierre1948saying memes from reddit out loud and being unkempt
I love how chill he become when it's about his metal bag.
chillfully thus far the best way to enter a conversation
"coat of many pockets" feels like a DnD item akin to the "bag of holding", but it would have like a second effect that every now and then you'd have to roll a d20 before pulling something out and it'd give you a random object in your possesion instead of the one you wanted if you failed
The naming scheme is even similar to other items in dnd, like the cloak of many fashions
Haha! 😂 I was thinking the same thing, however, I think it’s slightly more similar to the Robe of Useful Items.
@@SirdeathvidsIt's a common reference to Joseph's coat of many colors in the Bible. Just replace "colors" with anything and there you go
You're thinking of the "Deck of Many Things"
Lol yea speaking of using DnD for cringey naming conventions.. as a bisexual man with a promiscuous past I used to tell my intimate partners that I called my member the "D!ck of Many Things".. how I walked away with out an STD and lifelong friends will remain a mystery to me
Klamer's Coat of Many Pockets is being added into my D&D campaign 😂😂
bro is klamer 2.0
It's good to be in a place where you can just accept yourself as you are and just not care what others think of you. It would be better to be friendless than to have people "like" me for someone who I truly am not.
I started watching the original video because I wanted to see it uninterrupted by commentary, then I came back here because I was cringing so hard that I needed the frequent breaks for commentary.
I knew an animated guy like this in HS, but since we were in an artsy school he was seen as more adorable and the type to be friends with everyone. Don’t worry, Charlie, cringe pasts aren’t always as cringe as they seem. They’re just wacky chapters in a wacky life.
That was about the most cringe quote no offense
Dude cringe
Nga no
@@doms4885 Don't take everything that society dictates as gospel. If you enjoy it, you need not care what others say. (obviously none of us are that immune to others opinions, but to the extent that we can)
@@GOLD_FEVER cringeeee
Well I knew a guy at my college who was just like this. At first I thought it was an act but it turns out that was really and genuinely him. He would wear a long black trench coat and talked in poetry even when he was mad. Turns out he had autism and he sadly passed a few years after college. RIP Henry. A great guy, indeed.
Why that happened
@@rearedrain9722 i can't tell if this is genuine question or not
A guy ripping out slam poetry when pissed off must have been a sight to see!
Damn
Damn that actually sounds cool af if it wasn't an act
It’s better to be weird but happy with yourself than normal and unhappy.
“You were told before the interview to discuss my oddities, how could you”
He reminds me of when I first went to college back in 2005/2006 and one student was known as, "chainmail guy" because he spent his breaks linking chainmail together and would exclusively discuss chainmail related activities. I don't even think he was part of a larping group, he just really enjoyed chainmail. He came as a chainmail Twilight Princess Link for the campus Halloween party one year. I hope he made a career out of making custom chainmail for cosplayers or something related.
I knew a guy who made chain mail back in the 1970s. It was cool. Very heavy to wear though.
We wore it on the NYC subways and got a lot of strange looks and people moving away from us.
We were members of a club called Society for Creative Anachronism. It was a sort of medieval club with magic and legends. We’d all dress up for a party or picnic. Again, we got a lot of strange looks but at the time it was really fun.
Now at age 66 it’s beyond cringe.
@@annenelson5656How can having picnics in chainmail be cringe that sounds sweet
Ngl that is pretty badass. Chainmail isn't easy to make! It also functions as great weight training gear, and top tier stab/slash protection if you are so inclined...
"Would exclusively discuss chainmail related activities" is too funny idk why
@@1Peasant Stuff is heavy and will pinch but I was still in college, young, stupid and excited. So at that time it was just something cool.
Not gonna lie, the fact that even someone like Charlie has a cringe past he looks back on with embarrassment is weirdly comforting
I would also add that it's weirdly inspiring that he has the humility and self reflection to talk about his embarrassing past in the open. It's very easy for anyone to just refrain from ever acknowledging it at all, and yet here we have Charlie taking it like a champ, allowing us to recognize the growth he has gone through.
@@affluenzashot it's not that deep. Everyone has cringe moments they learn from and expect the next person to as well. Charles is diff in that he went hard in the cringe early as a form of content investment. Now look at him. Raking it in, so much cringe he must be a hero.
@@louievazquez5231 Deep or heroic would not be ways I'd describe it either. The point I'm trying to make is that it can be useful to normalize this level of transparency, especially when it's all too common for public figures to try and obscure their past for the sake of something like ego or optics.
I remember in the early 2000's when everyone online seemed to avoid being labeled "cringeworthy" like the plague. It however undermines the fact that being cringe is a certain risk for content creators trying to explore their own format, and the age-old stigma against cringe only stifled creativity and prevented new content creators from wanting to continue.
why does charlie having a cringe past surprise you? he watches anime and thinks final fantasy is a good game he’s a major nerd
can we just appreciate
I've definitely thought about reinventing my personality when moving to a new school from being a introvert to an extrovert and just winging it but these two legends had the balls to actually go through with it
honestly he seems chill , when he says “because i felt like it/ i just like it” like hell yeah keep doing you, don’t need a reason
I was expecting a much stranger plaid coat the way it was being hyped up by everyone than what it ended up being. Also, she was great at interviewing him like there was no awkwardness and keeping the conversation going even though he did sound a bit nervous about it and he was a good sport for being interviewed!
Same was expecting some kind of like big overcoat or something 😂
@@minmo2288He just seems like a normal dude on the autism spectrum
Literally I was like there’s no way this is the jacket 😂
I was 100% expecting a trench coat, and maybe a fedora.
Yeah, that was a disappointment.
Sometimes, when I'm lying in bed peacefully, something insignificant I did or said 15 years ago will pop into my head and I cringe so deeply I feel it in my soul. I have no idea why, but it sucks
Happens
Same. But It does serve as a painful reminder not to power-drink like an idiot anymore for me.
I do that too.
That talent show in primary school still haunts me 20 years later :|
stuff like this makes me feel a little better about my cringe past, shoutout Klamer.
I feel this on a SPIRITUAL level
As long as he isn’t a weirdo pervert, this is tolerable.
Why add „weirdo“? Just call it a pervert. „Weird“ is odd, eccentric, strange. That’s not what comes to mind when it comes to a pervert. A pervert is a sick, depraved fuck.
Sexual harassment and assault is not a „weird quirky teehee“ thing. Please don’t spread it as such.
hardly tolerable
He never revealed all of his pockets so you never know
L
Being called a character is as degrading as being called a specimen.
I’ve never heard specimen as a negative lol. That’s interesting. Usually it’s like super athletes being described as absolute specimens.
I’ve only heard specimen be used to describe very athletic people.
@@Compton3clipsed Ive heard critter used negatively lol
@@shropski1750Is there even a positive way to call someone a "Critter"? Lol
Specimen is a compliment
I've taken to collecting rocks for putting in my gardening containers. I even put a worm in my pocket for the first time in my life for my compost.
That's all sensible and serves a purpose. Do you have AS by any chance?
Yeah middle school me dry humping the air as a dance move at the school dance while a girl was basically begging to dance w me doesn’t leave a good thought in my head now
Klamer is more relatable than most normal people. We all were cringe, we all have weird shit in our pockets sometimes, we all have metal fragments wrapped in a Norwegian flag in those pockets
I feel like almost he knows what he’s doing for reactions. I’ve honestly done the same thing in the past. 😅
Most people care way too much what other people think about them. It’s always been a little strange to me to care so much about what someone is doing, especially if it’s something harmless like collecting rocks lol
Nope, not me. I was cool in high school.
@@you-nh8xo jealous of you
@@SpookieSadie you cute shawty 🤤
a wise man once said if you think that you haven’t got a cringe past you are in one.
😂
Agreed. It just means you haven't out grown it yet.
Remember, if you cringe at your old emo photos, its called PTXD.
you know what, I respect the man. Good for him! He seems fun to be around.
"chillfully thus far" goes hard wtf
Honestly i hope Klamer is doing well nowadays, he seems kinda like a chill guy
His name is Jacob Klamer! He seems to be a screenwriter and actor from his imdb and he honestly looks like a great guy!
He passed away 6 years ago@@Syluxer
He literally sounds like Robert Pattinson here. Like RP literally talks like this (without the smolder).

I didnt give you a link but you can look it up if you want. His name was Jacob Clymer@@informationyes
We have all been cringe at some point in our lives. The age can vary from person to person, but everyone has something they just want to forget
this guy is too funny lol! the whole part where he's describing the stuff in his pocket was great
Okay but “it’s going chillfully thus far” is pretty good. I’m going to have a hard time not answering with that every time someone asks me how I’m doing from now on.
Im definitely using “chillfully” from now on, that’s so iconic
Don't. You'll try and say it ironically but it'll just sound really cringey and awkward
@@nutmeg0144so true. Chillfully sounds great in the ear but out loud, nope.
I love how Charlie just slaps his most uncomfortable moments online for the world to see
This means he’s past it and furthermore a better person than he was. So it’s a win win
@@John-rn3sv”furthmore” hello claimer
I mean if he puts it out there himself, nobody can ever come out of the woodwork to embarrass him with it
Who asked: My content is better.
Don't read my name!
that's actually cool asf having a rock in the metal pocket 😭
EXACTLY
I did the same thing except with a drawstring bag. It's just very comforting to have a bunch of stuff on you. And when people ask you can just say "You never know."
It’s a vital part of one’s life to come to terms with their past cringe.
That's the same as saying it's vital to be cringe.
@@amanofnoreputation2164 Vital is t the right word for that. It’s inevitable to be cringe. You just have to come to terms with it.
"It's going chillfully thus far" OH JESUS CHRIST NO hahahahaha
The Coat of Many Pockets sounds like a Heroes of Might and Magic 3 artifact.
It’s so funny because I feel like I did this in middle school and Charlie here is doing it when he is 20 lol. I love whenever you talk about this era of your life. I only started watching anime this summer but the basic gist was the same.
Honestly, I love meeting people like this. They might not be smart in a social way, but they can often offer a perspective that few others have.
i mean the dude is in college, he's likely intelligent.
I like meeting them so i can laugh with my friends about it
@@zachserum1988that’s the dumbest statement I’ve heard in a while.

Bro has the power of cringe and anime on his side.
now THATS a Villain origin story
Charlie’s comedic delivery never disappoints 😭 especially when you’re high omfg
Not so much channeling an anime character as he is Frasier or Niles Crane, and I'm expecting to hear him at any moment say "away with you, wrinkly thing."
I like to imagine that immediately after this interview, he asked the girl out and she immediately let out an involuntary chuckle. In that moment, he had the most intense, burning clarity of his entire life and at all at once he saw himself for what he actually was.
I choose to believe this hahaha
....a genuine dude who isnt afraid to be himself even if it means other people call him weird? lol
@@spimbleshe seems aight but “Genuine” is abit of a stretch.
Bud he already knows he's cringe he just gets a kick out of it.
When he said "Indeed" I could feel the reddit energy radiating off him all the way to 10 years in the future
Very few know or realize that cringe is THE crucial 7th Infinity Stone that binds the universe together in embarrassing harmony!
When I was about 9 or 10, I'd do the Mr. Bean voice, but only towards this couple who were my Dad's friends.
He was a mechanic, and she "apparently" worked for INTERPOL...
I'd go over their place after school, to eat mini-pizzas and play Heroes of Might and Magic III.
Upon their departure, as a token of my gratitude, I gave them the Bionicle CD that came out on cereal boxes, which included a 2D platformer and the track 'Radio Girl'.
I, too, have hoarded random bits of interesting metal since at least my middle school days. But it's always stayed in some random box in some random drawer where it belongs, not stuffed in my pockets like the worst loot ever for whatever unlucky adventurer who slays me.
The reason we feel cringe is knowing we were in a similar position once, or if not, that if we were in that position, we'd be embarrassed. So people who aren't able to feel the cringe emanating from themselves are low-key the strongest. They make US feel THEIR embarrassment for them.
Sometimes I feel the cringe within and I lean into it even more. Im fine with being cringe if others are entertained. 😂
Hmmm. 🤨 You type like Klamer talks, is the “us” you’re referring to you lol?
Holy shit
This is actually such an enlightened take
A cringe past is better than an empty one.
its the truest dad lore fr
Nope
I will forever admire people who have cringe old videos and don’t delete that stuff and still stand by it.
Whoever says they dont have a cringe past, is probably in their cringe era right now.
