Strap yourselves right on in. It's time to feel uncomfortable
Another Vidcon has come and gone and with it an assortment of tales of uncomfort, of misery, of embarrassment, of awkwardness.
I don't really consider myself that much of an awkward person. I just find that embarrassing situations seem to follow me around
It's not my fault. I don't know why I'm just a magnet all right. I'm an awkward magnet
I'm not even pulling the right way. I'm pushing I'm pushing you away. If you've seen my daily vlogs from Vidcon
you know that every freaking company had to give us
one of these guys at VidCon. Every creator was walking around with seven different
branded fidget spinners. This one was one of the quality ones, NBC.
It's not even that good of quality; you can hear this thing. It's metal. It's got a broken ring now. What happened, NBC?
I thought we were tight. So I've been fidgeting with this thing. I don't think this helps me at all
It actually makes me fidget
It gives me an avenue to fidget. Without this I'm a normal human. With this, I can't stop fidgetting. It's the worst okay
I'm not even trying to be relatable here
It's just I was walking around with one of these the entire Vidcon just doing this the whole time
So I'm at a meet and greet with my good pal Dodie. We're meeting viewers and there
I am spinnin it up, right. I just can't freakin stop. And we're meeting someone and I put my arm round, I'm giving her a big hug
going big round.
Oh no, oh no.... I've literally just spun her hair
I-ugh- she had really nice curls, and then I took some of them. Literally at one point I dropped this fidget spinner.
It was stuck, it was dangling there. I cannot believe that happened more than once. You'd think Evan learns from his mistakes
No
I just couldn't stop fidgeting and so thank you to the three people that
provided me with some of their hair. Some clones of you will be made soon.
So I have a fan to be in my room because it's actually hot again
I'm sorry I brought back the heat. I just
imagine the funny situation of a parent being like "so how was the meet-and-greet" and they'll be like "I loved meeting Dodie
I told her about her song I love, she's so cute. Evan stole some of my hair" [laughs]
That's just the situation that I imagine happening because of this terrible thing. So after our meet-and-greet ends
and I have enough hairs to create a clone army that could defeat the likes of Iceland, I go to get some food because I'm
really hungry.
I hit up Taco Bell I get like this double
Chalupa or something and then I'm like "I want to meet more viewers". The whole point of Vidcon for me is like meeting as
many people as possible because that the whole reason
I'm there and because when I initially went it was to meet Youtubers to run into Youtubers and so I
decided I was going to go out into the thick of it and walk through the middle of the food court
area near the Convention Center
I wanted to meet people as I'm walking through I immediately get stopped and I'm like 'Hey!' and then a queue forms
I start meeting lots of people
I'm staying next to benches
And that's when I start to realize
I think that the people next to me on my right hand side are talking about me
I don't know maybe I'm just paranoid but I heard them say something like 'there's known and then there's well-known'. I'm like all right fine
That's what - maybe it is about me, I don't want to be egotistical, whatever fine,
moving on, but then I heard them say 'mate, if you film this it'll go viral'
They didn't say mate that was just my ad-lib. Sorry can't help it and I was like
Ooh whenever someone says "this will go viral" anywhere near you...maybe don't be around there
I feel like that's not a good situation to be in and it's not going to be like a 'haha' viral
It's gonna be like a 'uh oh' viral right alright. I keep talking cuz I'm trying to meet viewers here. There's people
I want to meet and blah blah blah. The next thing I hear is 'okay. You guys ready, three, two'. "Oh, sorry
Hey, whatever you're going to do, please don't do it" is what I said to them
I just please I don't know what you're gonna do, but just don't don't don't do this and they were like
"Oh man, you got us" and I was like "haha, yeah, I'm really sorry
I'm trying to meet viewers. If this makes you uncomfortable like I can move it's just you know that stellar lighting here is
And it happened. They happened to stop me. You know I can't help this it's just you know and they were like "that's fine
That's fine. Uh do you want to try a bite of a falafel though?"
And I was like "oh, I just had so much Taco Bell, I'm really sorry. I'm really full" and they're like "oh come on
it's really good". At this point...
maybe maybe this is the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life. Y-You could put me down for that
I thought of being selfless all right. I said "I'm really full I do not want any of this falafel at all
I can barely eat another thing after that Taco Bell". But this person that I've never met wants me to do it
I don't want to do it
So if I do it for them, I'm being - I'm doing a selfless act, this is something of good character
This is how I will remember myself and I said I will do this. I will take this falafel bullet for myself
What a selfless individual I am, right? And so I say "sure
I'll try this big big, ol' falafel sandwich, and so I leaned down to get a bite and then shshwhwh
just shoves it all over my face, and they're like "ah we got you!"
I was just so
in awe that that had just happened, that I had fallen for it, that...
that they thought that was funny. My - my reaction immediately was just as it like dripped down my face was to say "that was really rude"
Like I knew they wanted a crazy reaction to get those mad mad views. I dont think they knew who I was I was like
I'm not gonna get you those mad views, but I was just like 'oh, that's that was really rude'
I don't think that was really that funny and they were like "ah man! we got you uuh!"
and I was like no, I mean you've wasted a perfectly good falafel wrap. I mean look there's falafel. It was actually pretty good
I had like a little tiny bite of it
And it was it wasn't bad for the small amount that actually made it into my mouth
And I felt bad it was a waste of falafel sandwiches
There's people like lining up that are now like what I'm going to do
I was like can I at least clean myself and get me napkins like "uh it was so funny thanks for being a good sport". I
I was like that's I don't understand. I just found that to be not even creative. It wasn't even like a "prank"
I never met you. I shouldn't have tried a stranger's falafel, okay?
That's that's my guide for your next Vidcon - if you go to Vidcon don't eat strangers' falafel. Also
I hope they don't go back to Vidcon. I mean if they've uploaded a video, I don't think that was okay to do but
Whatever just it definitely put me in a bad mood
I met the rest of the people that I could there and then I shuffled off because I had some parties to go to
Kind of a bit like "eh" I guess you could say I was feeling fal-awful
I had to do it I'm sorry I'm sorry. So I went back to my hotel room
I freshened up a bit cleaned the hummus off of my glasses
It was time to go to a Vidcon party. If you don't know much about Vidcon parties just know the free alcohol
It's a'flowin it's a far cry from my first Vidcon when I just turned 21 and everyone was like
"Oh my gosh, 21st birthday. Here's a free beer" and I was like "no!
get that demon liquid away!", because you know at this point, I had never done anything
I was afraid of every drug, I thought every drug would kill me, the day before I'd seen like a famous youtuber in the lobby like
Upchucking from drinking too much and I was like "no, I can't do anything" and now fast forward to today. I'm like well
Alcohol at Vidcon parties, it's pretty lit. So we head to a party at the Expo hall. We have a couple drinks
We're having a good time
And that's when someone realizes there's another party happening a bit further away about an Uber drive away and we're like "oh
You know what, that one also has free alcohol. Let's go to that one"
So we all hop in an uber we head there
But the uber drops us off in the wrong location, he didn't really know where he was going. At this point
we're very intoxicated, there's a large group of us,
there's even more YouTubers that didn't come with us there and we're all in this intersection in the middle nowhere, when we realize 'holy crap,
is that Nick Crompton from Every Day Bro video?' I was like holy crap? That's the guy?
That's the guy, he's from that video that went viral this month. Oh my God he's that guy. I think I know him
I'm like friends of a friend of his, my friend Sam's friends [???]
I've never met him that's really cool, and so he joins our group for a bit
and we're trying to find a way to get we're supposed to go and someone in this group said like Nick's a boss
So I was like yeah Nick's the boss, and he went "And Evans an asshole", and I was like
What whoa "I've never never never met you" and he went
"What are you just trying to be sarcastic, what the heck?" and I was like
"eruhuh I'm really sorry. I don't think I've ever met you" and he was like "literally stop" and I was like "wahhhh"
I didn't know what I did. I don't know what I did wrong
I tried apologizing for everything and he was just like "I'm not hearing any of it."
And I was like "oh no" and everyone's like "Evan have you met him" like I don't think so. I don't know what I've done
to you Nick, okay, I'm really sorry. I thought we were bros every day because we both live in the city of England
I thought that's how it and I pop my collar for you in this video. Okay, only pop it
Was very offended and so we end up going to the party. I'm in a bad mood. I'm sad, so I have more alcohol
That's not an answer. Don't do that, but I did and I ran into him again. I went "Nick
I don't know what I've done. Just tell me. I'm really sorry." He said "I forgive you, just leave me alone".
I have an Alien's charity card from the good doctor
I just kept apologizing eventually. I still wouldn't know what I did wrong
I do feel bad. Why, Evan? Why do you care so much about what someone thinks that you
supposedly never met? Because I'm a 2 in the Enneagram or something like that. I don't know
I just really care people think of me. I don't someone hate me. We've all been there right? Either way, he said he forgave me
I was like I felt like you know doing that like godfather kissed the ring you must thank you
Thank you I appreciate that. Oh, my party vibe was back
I had another drink, we're all having a good time
And that's when the party is about to turn up. Evan, why do you keep taking off your glasses?
It's really hot and it's just they're making my face wet. So the party is about to turn up because at this club
there's chicken and waffles. You might be thinking, "Evan what club has chicken and waffles?" This one did. And what boy wanted them? This boy.
Right here, so I'm like grab some chicken. I grab some waffles. They got some fresh syrup
They got this huge vat of ice cream, and I was like "Yeahhh!"
It's like vanilla ice cream, and for some reason it's a serving spoon of a knife.
I guess I didn't want people to like use that much ice cream
so they have a weird utensil. So I take a big old dollop right on there, oh like my friend Cat was like "Evan why are you eating
chicken n waffles?" And I was like "because I can!" You know when you have alcohol enough to the point where you're like,
I need something to soak this up, and you see chicken and waffles, and you're like "hell yeah", that was my moment, okay
And I take a part of the chicken, it's so fresh
I don't I'm like you know what I just want to take a big old bit of this ice cream
So I take the entire bit of ice cream on my fork and like
"hom" soon as it hits my tongue down the throat swallow that... it was butter.
I swallowed an entire stick of butter.
How does it happen to me? Because I'm an idiot. I don't know how that happened. I just can't believe it. That's why there was a knife and not a spoon.
Ah....I don't think I've ever done anything
as embarrassing as swallowing a stick of butter, but that was basically my club night. At this point
I'm like I'm too far gone. All right
It's time to drink some water so I go up to the bar
And I'm like "HIT ME...with a cup of water fresh from the tap". I get the ice, as I'm drinking
I'm in a conversation with someone, and there to my left, I see someone, I can't, I know his face. I know it
You know when you like recognize someone on the tip, the name's on the tip of your tongue? His name was wrapped around my tongue
It was like lalalala
I was like I could eat him, this lettucy person. I knew him from somewhere, and I had to leave this conversation
I'm really sorry. I have to know who this is, so I walked over to them and I said hey, man. I'm really sorry
I know you probably get this a lot. Who are you, what is your name?
And he said "I'm Joey Salads" and without a split second I just said "oh cool. Keep it up, man"
"Keep it up man"?!?! Glasses. Jiht. If you don't know who he is
He's the one that makes those fun race baity videos about like, "Oh look there's black people destroying the villages and the Trump support". Oh
cannot believe
The first thing I said, I wanted to leave the conversation as soon as possible. First thing I can think of was "keep it up bro. Keep it up man"
That's what I said to him
I'm sure he's going to do something really bad in the next month
And then just give me an interview and look like so Joey
Why did he decide to make this video against jews and he'll be like "well
I was thinking of making a video about bringing everyone together, but I met this youtuber at a party called Evan Edinger
And he said "keep it up" and sohoohoo
That's when I knew it was time lead the party and as I was leaving the party
This guy comes up to me, and he says
"hey it's the falafel guy!"
Man, who invited them to this party? and they thought it was funny. They tried the vlog bomb me. "I put falafel on your face."
What a crazy one day at Vidcon right full of it's own awkward situations.
But doesn't even take the cake because I still have one further Vidcon story from the final day
I'd finally made up with my senpai, James the odd ones out
He and Jaden had took me under their wing. I'll talk about that in a separate video
It was so nice. They invited me to have dinner with a group of their friends. They have six friends
So I was number seven. I was ok with that. It's cool. You like being invited to things
I'm not invited to things ever so this was nice all right
But then I realized my friend Dodie and Shannon and Lucy were also going to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory
And I was like "I can invite you too". Imagine being invited to a dinner
of people that you've just met and then inviting more people with you
It's like going to a party and bringing four people. It's like okay
Maybe it's faux pas, you could admit maybe Evan you made a faux pas. I just...everyone loves Dodie and Lucy and Shannon
I'm sure they'll get along so I bring my group and I'm like okay
I'm hoping to like talk to the Cheesecake Factory people and make the group bigger and as soon as I get there I notice the
group is already a lot bigger than I thought and one of the people that I don't recognize in the group is like "oh my
God, Dodie Clark!", and I was like "yes!" Also there's no Clark [???] So I was like good everyone loves Dodie
This is a good group. There's a motorcycle outside running away from me. So I'm like "the situation should be fine now"
I go in to the Cheesecake Factory. I tell them our table number
I'm like can you make our group size a table of ten now? And they were like "okay? That's easy". and i went "by the way
Some people in this group are really famous
They have like a million subscribers on YouTube just you know" and they were like "ok we'll speed it up", and I was like "thank-you"
You might say "Evan what the heck that's totally douche-baggy". Listen
I didn't say I did, the other people did. I don't. I'm just - no I'm just friends, right
I just was like they are cool. Either way I came back a hero
"Evan what, he got us in in ten minutes instead of a half hour. Wow what a hero". That's right. Thank you
I'm bowing I'm doing a bow and you're like "Evan, where is this going to get awkward?"
Well as we begin to walk towards our table someone from the group that I didn't recognize was like "What do you mean?
Why why aren't we with the group anymore?" "Oh I'm sorry. There's not a room
There was just the seven plus the three of us". They're like "yeah, but we're here as well". "I'm sorry
I didn't know" and they "wuhahhh" and they just changed tables and they had to sit somewhere else, and it was like an awkward "Ooh, sorreeee"
Guess what that group of three they actually got there before me, and they did the same thing
I did they went up and they said can you make it a size ten
So they had done it for themselves. I came in didn't know they had done that and I just took the seats away
Sorry, Hannah. I just didn't know I didn't know you were with us
I thought you know you're in a group of people then you just happened to shout Dodie, I'm like
Oh, I mean if someone shouts Dodie, it's maybe just fan. I don't know everyone's a fan of Dodie. It's not very niche thing so
I'm sorry, okay. That's just that's just me, awkward situations follow me. Like I said don't think I'm awkward
I just make awkward happen. But that's the culmination of everything awkward that happened to me at Vidcon this year.
If I'm missing anything, I'm sure I'll make more awkward memories next year, or at SitC in a couple weeks
Thank you very much for watching. If you're new here, subscribe! I make new videos every Sunday, cringe with me. Thank you
I'll be seeing you next week, goodbye
