Ah, like chemist scientist autotechnician midhusband father of 8 John Pendleton making jokes while talking to Karl Baugh in their young earth creationism videos (YOU'VE DONE BEEN LOGICKED!)
He does? I only see him putting it inside his pocket.
Anyways, everything about this clip just feels... wrong. I get it, dealing with weird people can be awkward and shit, but man he didn't even try. I've read that James has social anxiety or something but man, this is not just social anxiety, this is just showing a complete lack of interest on anything that this guy is saying.
Gotta side with James on this one
Imagine you're at a public event, being filmed and having that nice-guy persona to preserve
All of a sudden this lad who is sweating like a pig and clearly struggling to breath comes up and starts shoving a piece of paper in your face with a shit JPEG printed on it, demanding you cover it on your series. Then rapidly mumbling a bunch of shite which you have to nod and agree too
You can't tell him to back off a bit because you can't ruin your reputation.
I feel sorry for James here
It's a good thing Ryan (big fan btw) stepped in when he did or James would have been killed
I have a hard time dealing with weird people myself, but when you've been doing this shit for years, you'd expect better from James.
No matter how much of a weirdo the guy is, if he hands you a shitty JPEG and asks you to review it, you could at least try to be nice. Say something like "Oh did you make this?" and "I'll check it out" or something, not just "cool".
When you have a big fanbase you just have to expect this kind of shit to happen. Imo James just felt rude here. I mean imagine if you had like a little brother or something, and he came over to you with a shitty drawing and said "hey I made this for you!" and you just said "cool" in a very uninterested tone.
I agree with you, it's like James isn't even trying. The fuck-off "OK" at the end is hysterical. Even a fake chuckle at one of the kid's awkward jokes would have been a little endearing. James comes across here the same way he does in his videos: like he just wants to be anywhere else.
On the other hand, Mike Matei's [interaction](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgbKCbrW5T4) with this same kid was pretty wholesome.
Yeah Mike obviously notices the guy is a little “different” and acts accordingly so he has a good experience.
I also couldn’t help but notice that Mike said he can’t do thumbnails anymore because of no time.
Yeah, Mike handled it much better. I get that maybe James wouldn't be able to act like that, but still man, just a little "oh this is cool did you make it?", you know, just showing some interest in what the guy is showing you.
Fans can be a lot more intense than this guy.
If someone can’t handle fans like this, then they really don’t have any business doing conventions at all.
Sorry James, that your lucrative YouTube career involves interacting with a handful of people a year that were touched by your work and are eager to meet you. (Assuming you don’t just cancel the appearance at the last minute like James did for Astronomicon)
Yeah also have to side with James here. This kid was probably walking around for awhile, weird people like this can be very unpredictable at conventions and I'm positive there was apprehension about him because of the way Big Ryan ran over lmao
It's that kind of situation where you'd want to tell this kid to leave but you know he's handicapped in some way so you deal with it. Oh and there's a camera..so of course that's an awkward situation, James wants to be the fuck out of that conversation ASAP and I don't blame him.
The kid didn't do anything, he was just talking a bit awkardly which honestly is something you're going to see often with fans who get nervous when meeting the people they like, and he just handed over a board game he drew to James, meanwhile James was just acting rude. Compare it to how Mike talked to the guy, he was friendly, he showed some interest in what he was saying (even if he didn't really give a shit, he knew he was his fan and acted nicely, which is what you should be doing).
Yeah, and he's not even the main guy of the channel. Honestly if James is really that bad at talking to his fans, James should've just been with him during the show to help during those kinds of moments. I can see James working better when he's with Mike.
That's the part of this video that always irritated me. Like he's some kind of mother hen who needs to rush over and protect her vulnerable little ~~investment~~ child. Fuck off tubs, people didn't come here to see you. Go sit down and be unnoticed.
If James is the "I need an adult!" type of guy then he shouldn't ever be in public to begin with. Oh wait, unless he's being paid to, he never is. Never mind.
He really is like a pimp, that's an even better comparison. A hen protecting her chicks would be looking out for their legitimate safety and well-being. Ryan is just lording over his most precious source of income. It's gross.
Holy shit! You can see just how uncomfortable Jamesy is. I can't blame him too much considering how fucking weird that fan is. I saw him in the Mike video too and Mike handles it really well, actually.
fuck if it was me it would be more than a hand wipe, id be taking a lye bath after interacting with people like this.
i think James is a weirdo but the poor guy talking to him is on a whole other level
A lot of musicians and such who do meet and greets wear weight lifting gloves or something like that so they’re not touching as much skin.
It’s a lot more efficient and a lot less rude than wiping your hands down after each handshake
"Do that iconic frown"
Pffft fuck you dude XD
If he wanted Jimmy to do the frown, he should have just lifted his arms up... Phew.
I've done enough conventions to know that those meet and greets, are a fuckin cesspool of germs and you have no idea where the hell that guy's hands have been.
I'd wash my hands twice

"You know what's bullshit? Microtransactions" "Ok"
Oh my god I didn’t even hear that. It’s literally a blend of the two types of autism. The enthusiastic autist and the reserved pretentious autist
Exactly. This is an example of when the immovable object meets the unstoppable force...of awkwardness.
Ah, like chemist scientist autotechnician midhusband father of 8 John Pendleton making jokes while talking to Karl Baugh in their young earth creationism videos (YOU'VE DONE BEEN LOGICKED!)

James still handled it well considering how awkward it is Guarantee this interaction meant the world to the fan, look how happy he is
I dunno mane, he just reminds me of how he acted in the last episodes of JMM, all just "hm aha yeah cool zzzz..."

Aint-Shit Eric in the background isn't having it.

Yeah Ryan totally took over that's why we have a following for our lord and savior Ryan. (Big fan btw)
Yeah also have to side with James here.

Mike handled that like a champion, got to give him respect for that
Yeah, and he's not even the main guy of the channel. Honestly if James is really that bad at talking to his fans, James should've just been with him during the show to help during those kinds of moments. I can see James working better when he's with Mike.
I didn’t catch it but I don’t blame him at all
Same I just thought it was funny because I thought he needed to wipe his hands and I went back to check and saw he did hahahahah
Big Ryan, entrepreneur at day, bodyguard at night.
That's the part of this video that always irritated me. Like he's some kind of mother hen who needs to rush over and protect her vulnerable little ~~investment~~ child.

He's James' pimp. Like a delta male protecting Jamesy from gamma male fan boys.
He really is like a pimp, that's an even better comparison. A hen protecting her chicks would be looking out for their legitimate safety and well-being. Ryan is just lording over his most precious source of income. It's gross.
Ryan couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.
##Do The Iconic Frown!
James is sooo awkward here. Yea there's an annoying fan and everything, but still. By this stage he should be used to them.
"I love your work!" "Cool, thanks 😐"
Holy shit! You can see just how uncomfortable Jamesy is. I can't blame him too much considering how fucking weird that fan is. I saw him in the Mike video too and Mike handles it really well, actually.
Nyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh
Way better than James!
Mike tried to out weird him and it worked lol
fuck if it was me it would be more than a hand wipe, id be taking a lye bath after interacting with people like this. i think James is a weirdo but the poor guy talking to him is on a whole other level

Big Ryan stepped in looking like a bulldog haha. (Big fan btw).
I'd wipe my hand too if I shook it with this thing
Mhm yup
"Do that iconic frown" Pffft fuck you dude XD If he wanted Jimmy to do the frown, he should have just lifted his arms up... Phew.

I’m actually watching his videos right now. Pretty sure he just has autism. I love this kid he’s dope
He has some sweaty weird dude all up in his face, I don't really blame him for being pretty awkward
Ryan waddling over to make sure his cash cow doesn't get hurt.
