Chris Crocker - Selected Videography

Selected Videography

Crocker has posted dozens of videos, often to both YouTube and Myspace and has sometimes also removed videos or renamed them. In 2008 he also launched his own website which also hosted his work. As of December 2012 he has over 450 videos on YouTube.

• "This & that" was posted December 28, 2006 to Myspace and February 25, 2007 to YouTube. Crocker's first video, where he starts very serenely then quickly escalates yelling "You wanna fight me?" in a menacing manner while revealing his scrawny chest belying the absurdity "that anyone would see this kid as a threat worthy of violence." The video was hosted on Salon.com.

• "Bitch, please!" was posted December 29, 2006 to MySpace and February 25, 2007 to YouTube. This video shows Crocker's self-assuredness as he offers increasingly angry versions of the phrase "Bitch, please".

• "Why I'm Gay..." was posted August 10, 2007 to both YouTube and MySpace. Crocker discusses why he has no need to "come out" of the closet as gay. The video was hosted on Salon.com.

• "Kids SHOULD Cuss" was posted August 23, 2007 to YouTube. Crocker discusses profanity and the use of curse words like fuck asking "why is shit more profane than poop?" He ties the discussion to free speech and encourages everyone to use swear words and teach them to children to ensure freedom of speech is assured. The video was hosted on Salon.com and has since been removed by Crocker.

• "Back up, Britney haters!" was posted September 1, 2007 to YouTube. This video is Crocker's first major departure from describing his gay life in a Bible Belt town and instead focuses on Britney Spears. From a floor covered in Spears-related magazines and memorabilia Crocker asserts he is "a real Britney fan".

• "Britney, this is for you" was posted September 3, 2007 to YouTube. Crocker pays homage to Spears' recently released single Gimme More. Just two days after his first video about Spears this precedes his most known video Leave Britney Alone by eight days. This video was also removed by Crocker.

• "Watch Chris Crocker blink" originally titled "Best video EVER!", was posted March 17, 2008 to YouTube. One of the shortest viral videos - at less than five seconds long - and likely the shortest one Crocker has ever posted shows a close-up of just his face as he smiles into the camera and blinks twice. The video was explained by Crocker that he need only "blink to get the video views I do."
