Charlie Reads Twilight

June 26, 2010

Twilight! Oh lord, I do hope I never have to talk about this again. I have to say, after reading what was really just a very short chapter of the book, my respect for Alex has increased tenfold. The guy has read 15 whole chapters of Twilight, and I could hardly even manage one. He’s a hero and I don’t care who knows it.

Yeah, sure, I’m still not really in a position where I have the right to bash Twilight, one chapter is hardly enough to base my opinion of the entire book on. I will say however, that if you do ever decide to read Twilight, be sure to skip chapter 16. It might burn your eyes. By the way, to keep my video under 4 minutes long, I had to cut out a bit where Bella pretended like she wasn’t scared of Edward, and so Edward pounced on her like he was going to bite her head off, just to try and prove that he is, actually, quite scary. That’s true love right there.

As mentioned at the beginning and end of the video, this challenge involves swapping video blogs with Alex! If you’d like to watch a lovely montage of some colourful elephants in London, you’re in luck! Click here to watch his challenge.

  • emily

    Yay! Charlie reads twilight! Thank you so much because I realize how horrible an experience it was… but entertaining for us so… MWAHAHAHA <3

  • Dwan25

    Haha, you are much funnier than Nermon when you do it, only because you hate it so much :P

  • Tahera

    Haha loved watching this.

  • Philip2010

    Lol, Alissa, I feel your pain about Doctor Who… well, not really, seeing as we’ve had to wait, oh, about a year or so to see new episodes of Desparate Housewives, Lost, The Simpsons etcetera etcetera :P

  • Paty

    Since when does Charlie READ??? Lol I <3 this!

  • Johanna

    :)
    Typical Charlie!

  • Alissa

    Yay, thanks for giving us the next chapter, Charlie – even though it sucked.

    By the way, I must say that I'm COMPLETELY jealous of you and all the folks in the UK as you can see the season finale of Doctor Who today whereas we Yanks have to wait a whole 'nother week. Arrrgghhhhh!!!

  • Alissa

    Er, clarifying, the chapter sucked – not you. You're awesome! A thousand internets for you! :o)

  • nerdwannabe

    even though i do agree that the story gets more and more warped as the series goes on but twilight (the first book) wasn't that bad! and charlie you made too many assumptions! you have to read from the start of the book to understand, then it wouldn't seem as insane as it is now to you really! hahah side note: the cullens don't kill humans. they hunt animals only. teehee (:
    p.s. i am NOT defending the twilight ppl.

  • Rahcel

    Wow Charlie ! congratulations for even getting though a chapter !! that must have been hard!!

  • http://twitter.com/Dinodini97 Nadine Quade

    Awwww, Charlie you meanster! Twilight is awesome, don't be so mean about it :P

  • Adam Baird

    edwards back story is in there somewhere. its he was in the war and got spanish infuenza and carlile was asked to turn edward. just to clarrify lol :P

  • Hayley

    I've noticed your videos have usually been under four minutes (I'm guessing that's inspired by the vlogbrothers?). I don't think it would be necessary to cut down your lovely videos, but for this one I'm pretty happy it didn't go on for too long. (It's not you, It's Twilight.)

  • itsabbiee

    this was a great idea for a challenge
    I like how you tried to do it in the same sort of style that alex does;
    like alex says in one of the videos 'how do you catch yourself whistling' *does an example of catching himself whistling*
    and in this video you said 'what is a dark laugh' *does and example of a dark laugh*
    alsooo, my love yourself tshirt came today <3 thanks :)

  • Sarah

    Hahahahahaaaa!!! That sooo made my day! X) and p.s. we like longer videos ;) *wink, wink nudge, nudge*

  • DanniLovesHearts

    Oh I do love you Charlie <3
    I think you did just a good a job as Alex there, which is saying something, becasue being a susceptable 14 year old when Twilight was first brought to my attention, I'm afraid it did get to me. Rather epicly. And I still retain a certain fondness to it :P I guess it's hard to explain to someone who hasn't expereinced the obsession themselves, but oh well, I'm cured now *goes to re-read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the 8th time* I just love how you guys can take the mickey out of it though, it reminds me of my friends and myself…
    X

  • aoife..

    Haha I like it Charlie.
    I prefer the movies rather than the books.
    Have you seen the movies?

  • Sarah

    p.s.s you might want to know also that the link for Alex's video apparently does not work :P at least in Georgia and i also can not find it on his youtube page :( very sad

  • carolpt

    i've read all of the books, and the best is eclipse. i think bella and edward are a boring couple. jacob is so much funnier. he's fun, hot and always joking around. so, try to read some of jacob's parts of eclipse or new moon.

  • VictoriaPaige93

    I seriously was about to pee myself laughing at this.
    I think I'm going to have to marry you?
    Hmm yes haha

  • uffie

    :D

  • Sarah

    ohhh i feeellll really dumbbb right now *face palm* never mind about my last comment XP gosh i am stupid. my mom was right! lol jk

  • itsabbiee

    alex hasnt uploaded it yet :(
    but the link will probably work once he has uploaded the video :)

  • Thtthingthatyoudo

    I couldn't stop laughing at the 'dark chuckle' :D

    *chuckles…. lightly?*

  • Adam Baird

    o yer, you should do a challenge charlie where you hunt down two people who give you challeneges and make them do them. lol. cos people are mean to you charlie very mean :)

  • Hannah :)

    you have to admit that you enjoyed that chapter a little bit :)

  • Jobeanie123

    The part where you chuckle is the best part. *Dark chuckle*. Mines worse. LOL.
    -Jobeanie123<¤>¿ <¤>
    P.S. The face again, Charlie…The face!!!^

  • http://www.google.com/profiles/mingqin10 Your Name

    Gawd, you cut out the best bit.

  • Tessa

    Charlie.. I'd take you over Edward Cullen any day.

  • JMAX624

    I CHALLENGE YOU TO TALK IN AN AMERICAN ACCENT FOR ONE FULL DAY

  • Mafara :)

    LOL! I love how you though Carlise was a girl! I guess starting at the most boring chapter must do that to you!

    Twilight is awesome! But you guys just make it so funny, that when i read it over, I laugh at the bits you guys make fun of :P

    Loved it <3

  • Cosi

    ♥ your chuckling!

  • Bloody423

    i challenge you to play american football in all the pads and the helmet

  • http://twitter.com/Dinodini97 Nadine Quade

    You keep calling Carlisle a “she” and I also believe you're mispronouncing his name xD

  • Jeanette

    Couldn't agree more. I have actually read all the twilight books, but I was young and stupid then I guess…. Haha

  • I <3 Charlie

    Woah! Like Georgia in the U.S? Im in Georgia too!

  • LunaMuna111

    ok i dont really get it.. y did edward say he swims across the channel when they live in america… SERIOUSLY STEPHANIE MEYER! u hv 2 rethink the book. lol :)

  • http://twitter.com/thegreengirl89 thegreengirl89

    As much as I am really tired of Twilight I'm completely “tickle pink” when Alex and now you read Twilight, because now it is at least interesting and funny. (^ _^) I will never read that book again… Anyway you are so right that Bella and Edward are made for each other, I just thought they were both nuts and should just dump each other. I suppose there is truly someone for everyone in the world of Twilight even when someone thinks their “Crush” is like a drug to them…

  • Chantal

    i love the video :D:D:D ♥

  • N.T.

    I think that this book is really silly (sorry, fans)
    one my friend said that this book is about teaching little girls about… what they whould never heard from their teachers at school and their parents.
    I live in Russia, and almost ALL girls are waiting the new film twilight with impatience… О_о

  • Elise is so cool like

    i love the whole “carlie” hing. that is brilliant right there.

  • chagrin

    Just a few facts:
    -) You haven't joined this book in the middle of an action scene, simply because there are none. The whole thing is just “he looked so perfect, he smelled so good, I am embarrassed, I am clumsy, oh my god is he beautiful, he dazzled me, …”
    -) You have every right to bash Twilight, even if you’ve just read one chapter, because the other chapters are in no way better.
    -) I should probably be ashamed of having read the whole series, but it is kinda intriguing in all its wtfery, and I read it with a group of friends for the lulz. (Yeah, a weak defence, but I got no better…) I mean, you have to come up with dialogue like that. And with the plot of the last book. I’m sure you’ve heard about it. So when it comes to Twilight, I (sadly) know what I’m talking about, and you are absolutely correct with what you’re saying.
    -) The perfect solution: “And then Buffy staked Edward. The End.”
    -) I love the beginning of this video.
    -) I think this challenge was more of a punishment rather than a challenge.

  • Le

    Twilight sucks. Period. (The last word might arouse Edward…who's standing right behind you by the way)

  • Sarah

    ok 1. the only reason they can hear her heartbeat is because they are vampires and have super hearing, apparently 2. carlisle is a guy. edwards “dad” actually 3. i am not a die-hard twilight fan, i have just read the books until i found something more worthwhile and realized how stupid the books are. thank you! but funny vid. haha they are both insane. i agree totally. and you were really funny in this vid.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/MavreekAngel mavreekangel

    ROFL!!!!! I want to say something more coherent and better than that but that's all I can say as I'm still “chuckling darkly” to myself…OH hey that was something!!!

  • Kathy

    You have very beautiful eyes!

  • irem

    you are so funny charlie. you and alex should do “reading twilight” thing together lol. sorry to torture you both, but you two make it so damn funny!

  • Kathy

    Just wanted to say it. Stupid Kathy, sorry.

  • Chloe Payne

    Okay, when you said “Oh my God, you don't need to breathe? That's so mental!” Bravo. PERFECT Alex impression.

  • Blaise E

    XD.. all I can say is ,I really love the way you talked in front of my P.C. screen..LOL..anyway I didn't thought that you would read twilight book today…… XD but your video are really awesome.. :D

  • Devan

    I love your chucking darkly.

    I challenge you to play the videogame Portal, by Valve.

  • Kathy

    You said in some video that people can write to your e-mail. I did't find it. So, how people can write to you?

  • Ava

    I love the face you make when you “chuckle darkly”. I laughed so hard. love you!!
    Great Alex Impression!! Cant wait for Alex's video!

    P.S I challenge you too read MORE TWILIGHT!!!! ARRGH!

  • shevi.

    honestly, I thought it would be slightly dull without alex's snide remarks and sarcasm. but no, it was actually quite enjoyable. good job. now go back to doing challenges. go!
    maybe you should give the House of Night series a go, now that's a badly written book series. although I don't recommend torturing yourself further, not for our (4 minute) benefit hah.

    Lol, I don't think Charlie humour really fits in with what Nerimon does – I guess you have to pander to your audience though, right?

    Stick to painting yourself purple and juggling Charlie! Leave the grown up humour to Nerimon and Charlie Brooker, they're allowed to be a bit naughty ;)

    I vote that you post a deleted scenes vid… I'd really like to hear your take on Edward making sure Bella knows he's capable of being frightening. :)

  • lisa

    i loved this so much. you have no idea. and i doubt any of your fans would mind if your video was longer than 4 minutes. i would actually KILL to hear more from you.. :P

  • Cara

    I love this video, The best version of twilight ever :D Does Alex read it in the same way.

    i love charlie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    P.S. dose charlie even read these comments?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • Claire

    I tried to read twilight once… Thank goodness I found Alex's videos first. I'm serious when I say, this is one of the worst books I've ever tried to read. (I skimmed through and Stephanie Meyer's use or over use of her handy dandy thesaurus turned me off from the start).

  • beckyboo

    mine came today too! *internet high five*

  • http://twitter.com/LVATT Madeline Hudson

    It gets better. I read all the books. and I have to say that she does make a lot of grammer mistakes, but it is a good story. The begining is dreadful though. I personally think that you have to be a teenage girl to enjoy it. It isn't the best book I've ever read. I perfer books like harry potter. ahha but hey there has to be somethign there if it was so popular.

  • beckyboo

    i think carlilse comes from England or something XD.

  • Kayla

    Who ever said you have to keep your video under four minutes long? I'm pretty sure your fans would love to hear a lot more from you…you could never bore me at least.

  • Lizi

    I challenge you to drink three raw eggs

  • Kichinaa

    My reaction to this is that i can't believe I actually read the 4 books lol.
    I really like the first one, at first it's a little dull but later becomes more exiting ;D (except for chapter 16, maybe the most boring chapter of them all :D)
    Don't even touch New Moon, it's suicide.

    Challenge: watch glee with alex day, totally worth it ;D

  • Sarahlouisehaycox

    I read those books… never going back. ever.

  • Rhema

    Haha, wow. That was pretty darn terrible, I must agree. Especially the part where he “chuckles darkly.” Seriously, how would you do that? I thought your impersonation was very funny. This was a witty challenge that that one person submitted.

  • No

    Oh my god you don't need to keep the videos under 4 mins long! I love your challenges XD

  • Midoriko

    I have made it halfway through Twilight, twice. The first time I attempted to read it, I had just picked it up out of curiosity out of my sister's stuff, since I'd heard about it and wanted to see if it was any good or not. I got bored pretty quickly and chose instead to read something, you know, good.

    Later, I decided that, since everyone seemed to be under the impression that it was a good book, I should try reading it again, since I didn't feel like I had any right to declare it an awful book unless I'd at least read it. This time around, I literally forced myself to read it until, a little more than halfway through, I decided it just wasn't worth it. Let the Twilight-bashing commence, say I! Alex really is a hero for reading it for us.

    Also it scares me that grown women have been naming their children after the characters

  • Pedrom_fale

    This is hilarious!!!

  • Simone

    This was really funny!
    I am quite a 'Twilighter' but I've never thought about it, reading the books like that – I guess only the story just caught me.
    But this was hilarious. Really amusing!

  • Beckyboo

    Very sorry I didn't comment earlier- I was watching Doctor Who- which is of course AWESOME, sorry the BBQ yur at stopped yu from seeing it ( :O ). LOL Twilight- Nerimon has already led me to feel no respect for it. I am gonna crack up laughing if I ever read it again. I just finished my “life in a day” English Coursework and mentioned YouTube and you in it XD

  • http://twitter.com/Ney826 Ney

    Charlie, a note to both you and Alex…
    I actually ended up reading Twilight twice, and I assure you the other books in the series are quite better…
    Jus' sayin'

  • http://twitter.com/Ney826 Ney

    well Bella and Edward at least are normal names…

  • Spamphie

    I've read the books once. My sister likes them and has read them all twice… maybe three times; though she's not obsessed. She was obsessed while she was reading them, which is why I read them and admittedly I found them okay whilst reading – in all fairness, I like to read/watch etc something all the way through before I give my opinion (unless I know it's not my cup of tea from the start), so that means I didn't really think much about the plot until after I'd finished. When I did reflect on the story though, my mild “like” for it went out of the window… in fact my “like” for it started disappearing after the third book. The characters reactions to things were not realistic, that was my first problem with it and then it kinda stemmed from there for me.

    One thing that did creep me out though, a few months before even hearing of Twilight I watched a freakish film called Speak starring Kristen Stewart; this was the first time I'd ever seen her. As I was reading Twilight (a good few months before talk of it's movie) I was picturing Bella as her. This creeps me out man! My family was shocked when we found out who was actually playing Bella… creepy stuff. O_O'

  • Mushuswinger

    Ahahahahahahaha! That made me laugh so hard! Ah, keep up the awesome videos and that was a really cool challenge! High five you to and alex for video's that just made my day :)

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/PhantasmicNirvana Lindsey

    Twilight has become massively overrated in my opinion.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/PhantasmicNirvana Lindsey

    Do you want to make him sicker than when he drank straight ketchup?

  • Spamphie

    I don't see how the others are better what with grammar and spelling generally gets worse with each book. That and the creeper stuff within the plot also stays and gets stronger with the rest of the books too… plot weakens also, not that there was much of one to begin with.

  • Writemabel

    Yeah, I was a bit obsessed with these books when they first started coming out. And then everyone became obsessed with them, which annoyed me. And I realized how stupid all those girls at school sounded when their code names were characters from Twilight “Hey Rosalie, come here!” “Shut up, Bella!” Yeah… sad, I know. Anyways, I just read Twilight again last month, and I realized that any respect I had for the books, movies, and/or fans has totally disappeared.

    P.S. Nightlight. You should read it. It is very funny, especially if you've read Twilight.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/LadyLucendaWillow?feature=mhw5 Lindsey

    Dido for me! Except it was the movies that ruined it for me. Then I moved on to college bound books and tried to read Twilight again. I was bored to death by both the books and movies!! =D

    you don't like Twilight? I bet chap 16 is the best one in the book, haha xD

  • http://twitter.com/motionocean Siv

    hahahah, you know, twilight is GREAT :D
    I like it anyway.
    oh, and they're VAMPIIIIIRES, ya'know ;)
    that's the answer to all you're wicked questions… *laughs inside*
    and to the “chuckles darkly” I actually laughed out loud. just ask my mum!

  • Avarice

    I know a few Edwards, but they often go by Ed or Eddy. I've considered naming my (potential) kid after Edward Elric (if it turned out to be a boy). It would be interesting to see if anyone thinks I'd name him after Edward Cullen… and if his friends thought that, then I'd find it awesomely funny since he'd have to live with it. (This is also why I'm not going to be a parent… lol.)

    If I ever had a girl I'd name her Alice because I've liked the name forever, that and Edward Elric's brother's name is Al. Such an FMA nerd! ^_^'

    i have never read twilight. and i'm not planning to do it. at least, until i've seen all the films. next week the new one is out, wich means there'll be only one left. but i must say that some parts of Twilight and New Moon' films are stupid. ridiculous, really. «and the lion fell in love with a lamb» that's too lame. i'm sorry, but that is my opinion. maybe it'll change once i've read the books, who knows?
    oh and btw, nice dark chuckling. xD

    haha I adsolutely agree on everything Charlie just said!

    I've got the first twilight book in my bookcase, but I have never even touched it :D
    I'm SO sick of it, but U made me smile, even though U talked about twilight <3
    U're just TO cute <3<3<3<3

  • Emmawashere

    Twilight sucks doesnt it?

  • Holly Hausler

    Haha! Oh, this is brilliant! I have read the entire Twilight Saga and i'm ashamed to say I was quite obsessed with it. Luckily, I have passed that 'Twilight Phase' And have stayed with the best book series of mankind, Harry Potter. Anyhoo, I loved the part about chuckling darkly. This just made my day. (OH! And I'm wearing your 'You gotta be able to love yourself' T-Shirt, It's amazing!”

  • Beetaluvzyalautner

    omg charlie i loved your holy crap scene i was laughing soooooooo hard!!!!!!!!! luv u hope i marry u one day!!!!!!!

  • gabiiescobar

    I could have seriously written this comment.
    Everything you said I was like nodding my head to it.
    Except the shirt:( which makes me really sad.

  • Charlotte

    Preach.

  • dualdestiny

    I actually don't mind Twilight. I've read all four books, and more or less enjoyed them all. Although I will agree that Bella is mental and that I hate her with a passion, or would if she were a real, live person. Cute reading Charlie, well done!

  • Calloway♥

    I dislike Twilight for many reasons and must agree with you here, Charlie.

  • http://twitter.com/Myflashlight Emmalee Miller

    The whole Twilight book is like the chapter you just read. And, sadly, the first one is, well, the shining beacon of the series. The rest are far far worse (which is quite difficult to imagine I would expect). Twilight is a vapid teenage girl series, much like Gossip Girl. Unlike other books, it's quite predicable and thus doesn't require any thought while you're reading it. And Stephanie Meyer is in the running for being, quite possibly, the worst published author ever.

    However, it is quite good for mocking incessantly while you read it. Especially while huge screaming fangirls are around. They get quite defensive.

    And I must agree with Calloway, Harry Potter is bloody amazing.
    As is Steig Larsson's Millenium trilogy.

    But props to you for being able to stomach reading even a chapter of that. You deserve a cookie.

  • Jaclyn

    What's this now about cutting out a bit?

    Lol, I love you, Charles.

  • Avarice

    I said “hate with a passion” a few years back when around friends… they took it the wrong way! XD

    All because I said the word “passion”. Some people… I'm tired.

  • Maria

    lots of respect for reading any twilight. chapter 16 isn't a low point of the book, you just read a high point, so if you respect your sanity, burn it

  • Jenna

    A) Your eyes are gorgeous
    B) Your smile is gorgeous
    C) Your personality is gorgeous

    Your best videos are when your personality can be shown. Your opinions and comments are just the icing on the cake. Keep 'em comin :)

  • Jenna

    I love your opinionated videos. But I also love your random ones. The ones that you just do when you're bored, and you just ramble on about whatever happens to cross your mind. Please bring those back :) Whoever watches you loves you for you, and you are you the most when it's just your mind and the camera. If you even bothered to follow that… Anyways, happy recoding!

    ♥,

  • Maddy xx

    Hahahaha, I thought exactly the sammeee about the heart thing, but i admit I have read all the books including the new one “the short second life of bree tanner” and yes how do you chuckle darkly ?! xx love the videos xx

  • Anji

    I'd totally admire Alex a lot more if he hadn't been reading that book for almost a year! He shoud go ahead and do a ch. 17, it gives me lulz XD

  • Kristin

    lol i agree with you on everything, especially the chuckling darkly part.
    your interpretation of it made me laugh .. a lot :)

  • Anji

    Me too but my excuse is that i was 14, and i didn't know any better. lol It's fun to go back and listen to the chapter and think, “how did that make sence to me.” even more fun knowing that there are millions of girls out there that think this is the most amazing book ever written. ;D

  • Talyn^^!

    wow charlie i don't see how you could read one chapter and alex i don't see how you could read 15 chapters i couldnt even get past the first page you guys have guts lol.

  • Wintertree

    Trust me, the book does not get better. I read the first because everyone was all “omigizzle, I LOVE the Twilight books, lol,” so I stupidly succumbed to peer pressure. I then decided that as terrible as the first book was, I should at least read the second because I had them on loan. I read the third because apparently that was the best one. I finally read the fourth because I needed to know what happened…. Oh gawd, those are the hours of my life I shall never get back…

    Still, I HIGHLY recommend watching Twilight. It was the funniest movie I had seen the whole year!

  • implicitlydandy

    The entire book is filled with details that mean nothing at all…seriously. “Chuckling darkly” is just one example…”chuckling darkly” doesn't mean anything at all. But heaven forbid she would just write “he chuckled”, because, hey, that would sound even more stupid than it already is.

  • Nilly

    Yes! Someone as excellent as you finally understands how crap Twilight is.
    *massive hug*

  • http://twitter.com/Stanage Ty Stanage

    While the story may be compelling, I think Stephen King says it best when he said, “the real difference [between J. K. Rowling and Meyer] is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer, and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good.”

    I think both challenges were quite successful, and I'm impressed how quickly you both decided and prepared your videos.

  • Chloe Goodman

    Question! Does the challenge that Alex completed count as an additional challenge completed for you? Or are they combined? Or is his challenge completely irrelevant toward your goal of 25 challenges? I am quite confused.

  • http://memoriesofbugjuice.blogspot.com/ Ihaveagenericfirstname

    Twilight and I have a kwazi-relationship. I can come up with a handfull of criticisms of the series, yet I'm going to the midnight premiere this here Tuesday.

  • http://twitter.com/Sami_ami Sami

    I'm curious what kind of books you do like reading. What's it take for a book to hold your attention? lol, I assume more than the housewife drivel from Stephenie Meyer.

  • Nikkha

    All of my friends that read Twilight were trying to conviced me that it's good and because I like to read fantasy novels, I should read it as well. I'm a bit annoyed by their acts after they read Twillights, and I don't really like romance so I haven't read it until now.

    Watching this video make me think that I should try to read it lol

  • Cath

    2:28 I actually thought Alex Day had dubbed his voice over the top. Haaa

    I remember reading the Twilight books about 4 months before hype started up. I wasn't terribly impressed then (as the teenage it's geared towards), and now as a semi- more intelligent adult, I can safely say that it's still not as fabulous as everyone makes it out to be.
    You did very well, Charlie McDonnell. Very well indeed.

  • milka

    oh noo you just can't appreciate a real art!!! :(
    haha to be honest i've never tried to read this book, i'm afraid i could totally lose my mind after reading it.

  • emma

    thanks for saving my day with this <3 :DD

  • emicat

    :o oh no! what were you thinking, trying to read Twilight? don't you know people have died due to the absolute shitness?? you're lucky to be alive!

  • PuppetAn

    hahahahaha!!!
    I've actually read the four twilight books, and I feel really ashamed… i even asked for them for Christmas, but that was BEFORE I read them, and it was because my friends told me they were great :/
    and hey, my sister read them as well, and she doesn't usually read anything other than truly evil horror and fantasy books.
    Me and her only read them for fun… you know, just to see what all the fuss was about.
    After a few months, I opened the book on a random page and got really freaked out because I didn't notice how bad it was at first.
    And one more thing. The vampires in Twilight are not real Vampires. They're aliens. I got that from an essay which someone very clever on dA wrote… it all made sense!!!
    That video was great by the way… like they always are :)

    goodness, you and Alex (namely Alex due to the number of chapters he's suffered through) are so brave, sacrificing precious brain cells and time for our amusement. and THANK YOU for examining the writing style. i read a bit of the first one and had to stop… the woman sounds like an angst-ridden 13-year old girl who learned about adverbs but now overuses them. she's like the Kenny G of writing.

  • http://twitter.com/Myflashlight Emmalee Miller

    One good thing about Twilight is that people read it.
    I'd rather them read that…filth than nothing at all.
    So it gets points for that.
    Even though people really, truly, should read something else.

  • Irena

    Well, I've read four books of Twilight.
    It was….em….ridiculous!
    I mean, just analyse her sentences.
    By the book two, I've already realised that Stephanie Mayer has some issues.
    But I HAD to read whole saga just to see what she want to tell us with that book.
    I didn't get the point.
    Or maybe I am, if point is that in the end everything will be ok if you sparkle.

  • S.

    just wanted to say that i watch your videos every week and that i'm from germany and that we justed kicked your ass!! (football mentioned)..i guess you will never read this anyway :D

    OH MY GOD! Charlie McDonnell read twilight! That was something i wasn't expecting from you..anyway..I've read these books because everyone was saying : oh its awesome! Read it now! I used to like it the first time but a few months later i re-read it and it was SO BAD! One random page was enough for me to realize it was just a fiction shit! The only thing i liked from Twilight Saga was Robert Pattinson, without makeup!
    Anyway BRAVO for your excellent video and…and…i don't know what else..
    Love from Greece,

  • Meya

    This is the reason why my favourite hero is Buffy the vampire slayer. Or it isn't, because I liked her before Twillight era. But tell me, Charlie, why Edward Cullen is sticked on your wall in Bath? I hope he isn't in your apartment in London.

  • Masuma Chowdhury

    yr crazii

  • Haylie

    please “chuckle darkly” more often… =)

  • randomgalxxx

    LAWL. I couldn't stop laughing through this whole video. Not at the mistakes you were making Charlie, but at the ridiculous Twilight craze that has swept across the world!

    I was once a Twi-hard *hangs head in shame*. As you can probably tell I will not be wasting good money to go and watch Eclipse. Shrek 4 and Toy Story 3 here I come! :)

    Aah Charlie I feel quite disappointed that you won't be reading any more chapters – I'd like another laugh! Kudos to Alex for doing 15 chapters though! Gosh he must be sick of it by now. Yay he goes to see the elephants! Must do that asap :)

    (because I'm so OCDish but have never actually been diagnosed with it, I have to correct you of the following mistakes:

    1.Carlisle is a man, yes :) He is Edward's 'father'

    2. Its Carlisle. Not Carlie.

    2. Bella's heartbeat was 'audible' because vampires, i.e. Edward and Carlisle, have a much greater range of audible hearing than humans, and they could therefore hear her heart. If you or I were standing in that room, granted you aren't secretly a vampire or superhero, we wouldn't be able to hear Bella's heartbeat.

    4.He isn't a monster. He's a vampire! (which technically is a monster, but you know…)

    5. Two vampires enter – Alice and Jasper.)

    I like your 'he chuckled darkly' impersonation xD

    And you're right on the mental thing. They are both definitely mental.

    Also, if you bought that copy it was a complete waste of money. (no offence Stephenie Meyer)

    As a side note: I wonder how I would have reacted if you made this video whilst I was still a Twi-hard…

  • Irena

    The worst thing is that her children can read those fantasies.
    o.O

  • Marina

    You guys are ridiculous. Seriously.
    I'm sure half of you read this book and liked it, and now you're calling it stupid because charlieissocoollike kind of said the same?
    I'm actually also pretty sure that you're trying to convince yourselves that the book is bad because people that you like in the internet are making fun of it.
    I don't like Twilight whitch also meens I'm not a fan, but I don't dislike it neither and I really think you guys should try to be honest and admit that you don't think it's so bad. Or at least just don't comment anything, that way you're not lying.
    One more thing. Why insulting Stephenie Meyer? I'm sure it was hard work to write this book, even if people don't like it. She surelly spent lots of time sitting on her desk trying to write something she's proud of, and now you guys come and start insulting her because you don't get the point of the book? Fuck off. I don't think you would like other people insulting you and something you worked hard for. You want her to write no fantasy book next time? Or just to get better writing stories? Then write a proper critique to help her, and not to blame her.
    That was it. Bye.

    My friend Carly went nuts because you said her name a milllion times. XD ……I can't think of a possible situation where you would say Lydia……. which makes me a little sad I suppose. Anywho, I give you an imaginary pat on the back for getting through that chapter. I've never read Twilight outside of what Alex has done, but it doesn't sound like the best book in the whole wide world. I'll stick to my copy of Paper Towns. XD

  • Dania333

    yeah i mean some of them say things like: ” i have read all the books but when i re-read it i thought like it was crab” oh please u can´t change u´re mind so fucking fast… i have read 1 of them and i honestly think that its a bad book series, but that´s my opinion. i bet if charlie say that he likes it all the girls will say the same thing, I LOVE CHARLIE but i won´t let that he or anyone change my ideas : )
    keep rockin babe : )
    love

  • Dustbunny225

    I actually enjoyed Twilight a lot when I read it. (: I found it funny and romantic in some aspects. I have read it nearly four times now, though, and it does get a bit old. (But that happens with most books if I read them too much. I have a short attention span.) Plus… The movie REALLY ruined it for me. Edward (in the movie) comes off as mean and manipulating. In the book, he's adorable and sweet. And don't even get me started on Bella…. ANYWAYS!!! I really loved this video! The comments so people posted made me really smile, too. lol

  • cnev

    i think my life may be complete now that i have seen my favorite internet sensation read my favorite book. this was absolutely hilarious in the sense that charlie is somewhat clueless to the atmosphere of the book, considering he started smack dab in the middle of it, and his analyzations/interpretations of the characters are incredibly comical……chuckled darkely is now a classic charlie moment……… but i have to say that i absolutely loved the series as well as the movies and i am, in fact, a twi-hard-fan and yes i will be attending the midnight premiere for eclipse. but hey the twilight saga is definitely not for everyone but please don't judge it before reading or watching it. i have many friends that criticized it up and down and i finally got them to watch it one night and now they cant wait for the next movie. if its not for you thats fine, but dont bash it before trying it out. at least charlie has read at least part of the novel and now has fair game to say his point of view on things. also just because you love charlie doesn't mean you should ultimately agree with him and hate twilight now because he does. im a hardcore twilight fan as well as a huge fan of charlie, you can be both. but as always charlie makes another incredible video that made me 'laugh out loud' and admire him even more. <3 <3

    Charlie: That was fantastic! You've got a bright career ahead of you as an audiobook… guy. I really think you'd be good at that; your 'dark chuckle' made me laugh out loud (as the kids say).

  • http://www.almostdailyexploits.com Thiefree

    I understand your reaction, but by writers' standards, three months really isn't a long time. Most first novels take upwards of two years to write, and I do feel that this discrepancy in time is reflected in the quality of her writing.

    I agree that some people can be quite immature in their attitude to Twilight, just because it's cool to hate it. Personally, I studied it at university as part of a wider study on vampire fiction, and I think it's a load of twaddle.

    However, Meyer's more recent stuff has been considerably better, so I won't write her off just yet.

    Lol the bashing. I actually read the book after it first came out… Now the movie posters are EVERYWHERE. It's no longer escapable. That kind of, sort of, not really, brings me to my next point.

    Any way, congratulations for your popularity. I really enjoy watching your videos, every one is unique and unexpected. And congratulations for your music too. Maybe you should learn how to play a new instrument in one of your challenges. Or maybe try and create a new one, using random things, and play something with it.

    That's all, I think.
    Good luck, keep having fun.

  • Siljemt

    You really should read from the beginning of the book at least. I mean, it has so many feelings and stuff that I can't elaborate here. Try the first chapter instead, to see if you understand more. It's like starting in the middle of a Harry Potter book, how insane wouldn't that be if you'd never heard of it or knew what it was?

    Hahaha, ok.. now I just seemed totally obsessed in Twilight, but you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover (or by starting in the middle of it) :)

    You did a good job on the “chuckling darkly” part!

  • emmahemily

    dude i bet you have actually read twilight. you're so full of bullshit. you're just one of those people that pretentiously make youtube blogs for attention, good for you. go get some psychological help.

  • Wingedrivers

    You poor, poor dear… *hugs*

  • Wingedrivers

    Aren't you adorable!

  • paul

    hhhh

  • Carys Pollard

    you poor guy, could you have not picked anyother challenge?

    Well, i havent actually read it, I've taken the stance that, because ive heard Alex (and now You) read it, i don't have to myself, and is slyly counting these posts as having read it, if some of those deluded fools ask

    Anyway, i was wondering what you thought of the Doctor Who finale, and the series as a whole? I value your opinion :)

    Thanks :)

    P.S. also saw/heard these:
    1. Twilight has been killing innocent braincells since (insert release date here)
    2. (from Facebook) Twilight is a cancerous tumour on the ass of literature

  • Graceofbass

    I must admit, I read the whole series b/c I wanted Bella to be a vampire, but I am not a rapid Twihard (as we call them in the US). So I thought your bashing was hysterical. I started tearing up with laughter around 2:45 in the video.

  • Zoey

    Poor Charlie…I bet you have tickets for the Eclipse release =)).Anyways, you are adorable!
    P.S.: I hope you read this and think about the idea of you making a 'meet Charlie day' in London…I was thinking about it cause I just moved in London and I know nobody here.

  • http://twitter.com/Wildbloodward Jon Turner

    Okay that was funny, you did have some witty comments and picked up on how truly awful Twilight is. At the same time though, I would recommend leaving the Twilight reading/bashing to Alex :)

  • Nola

    hey did u use meh pic?
    i love meh tshirt, im obsessed with it.

  • Bookluver

    haha great video. It was very amusing. Now all you have to do is write a blog without a video. You're not doing a very good job of that. :)

  • princess_marzipan

    lol i dont remember twilight being that bad….i think i kinda gather that you didnt like english very much at school did you….? anyways its not really a boook for a guy so thats probs why u feel ur eyes might burn…. also have you read the hunger games????

  • Maná du Ciel

    i don't know how i did it…but i read the first three books of Twilight Saga…but i last book, the dawn, or something…really is out of hand. it's horrble.

    i did watch the movies, too. the first one to please my friends and the second one to see Taylor Lautner's muscles. But i'm not paying for the third one!!

  • Maná du Ciel

    hehe…i do wish this video was longer…but that'd probably hurt you!!

  • Emily

    The fact that you referred to Carlisle Cullen as a woman named “Carlie” made my day.

    The fact that you continued referring to him as Carlie after you discovered he was a man made my life. :)

  • Emily

    This video made my day as i also think twilight is annoying and pointless as my rather strange friends like to to talk endlessly about them :) in fact they're draaging me off to the cinema on saturday to watch eclipse(3), the darn thing, nd all i'm interested in is going to hmv to buy even more songs for my almost full, 150 out of 160 gb :), and very old ipod :) Thnks Charlie :D

  • Emily

    I read the 1st hunger games, i majorly loved it >_<

  • Avarice

    … and this comment is about what if not to get attention? Hypocrites, got to love them. :3

  • Salma

    Hi, my name is Salma :)
    I just watched your video about the book and I must say I am actually very shocked about your opinions towards the book because I never read it yet and I don't fancy reading it either. I guess people put me off from reading it because they are always going on about the book. I heard it's all about Bella and Edward, pffffttt….and there's hardly any action. I wanted to make a request, it will be great if you can talk about the Percy Jackson books because the books are sooo….exhilarating. :D

  • Emma

    Bella is the DULLEST main character ever. The movies also aren't great. Worse than the books….

  • Kirsty

    hey I just thought you should know that my bum is called Salmon. Good show xxx

  • - Thea

    Haha! You are actually quite funny you, and Sw33t ! <3

  • Emily Paris

    Twilight just got better! thank you Charlie!!!

  • agirlwholivesuptheroad

    sounds like you're really getting an big actor sometimes when even this book could be maken interesting for me by you (:

    it's everytime nice to hear what you say :D

  • Barney

    This is immense – do you want to come and read all four books to me and my friend? … It would make our lives :') lol

  • bubbsrox8

    Is there any way that we can “actually” contact you? Where you will reply to us, and not a pre-written message? Email? etc?…. Because I'm sure you get this all the time, but it'd be really nice and cool. I mean, you, Charlie, are already “so cool like” but, still. :)

    Wanna know what annoys me the most? How much people OBSESS over this stupid book series. Apparently a while back, Swine flu was spread because these idiotic girls were kissing a cut out of edward cullen! Its soo stupid!!!

  • Sweetpie1996

    it is really a good book that was just a boring chapter

  • Kristina

    Haha. its actually a really good book. but dont worry im not freakishly obsessed with it and im not gonna start hateing u for bashing the book. i love twilight but i still find watching alex read it extremly amusing. and dont forget u did started reading the book in the middle so of course its stupid to u. and bellas heartbeat was audible to everyone bacause thay're vampires so of course they have super hearing. lol. if u wanna see something extremly stupid watch the movies. those are just horrible. lol.

    I saw 'go on a date' somehwere in the comments. Don't just go on a date, go on a date WITH NERIMON :D

    I know you've said a few times that there's nothing between you two and these are meant to be challenges, if there was something going on then it wouldn't be a challenge. Therefore, by going on a date with him you will be proving that you're not dating him.

    Listen to the logic Charlie.

  • Annemiekvdmeijden

    Haha too funny, I read all the Twilight books and loved them but I totally understand you, they might not be that fun to read for a guy;) Nice of you to try though XD
    Love from the Netherlands, btw, absolutely adore your videos and you, of course;)

  • Carys_james

    I agree – twilight (aka – twishite) is pretty damn crap, but I have to admit I read all the books, and I have watched the films, purely to keep up with the shallow minded brainless teens of today, would much rather have watched a film where the actors can act, and do not spend two hours spitting out depressing shit in a brainless monotone

  • :^D

    You are hillarious! I love you! Thank you for making your videos!

  • Claudia

    I do not know why I do not like twilight, it is very moving book ;-D
    I love your videos (and you ? xd )

  • saphhie

    the reason you didn't join in the middle of an action scene because the first, last and only action scene, occurs in one of the last chapters of eclipse. i think your hair might actually match the color of the apple. but five stars for giving it an open mind.

  • K Sinja

    loved this video…but seriously READ THE BOOK FROM THE START

  • http://twitter.com/AncaCi AncaCi

    Hey Charlie. You don't know me, I don't exactly know you, but I just wanted to say that you're really cool. I've been watching all your videos in this past days and I gotta tell you that I agree with you in almost everything, so that's cool.
    Well, I don't know what else to say LOL just keep on doing those videos ;D

    -Kisses-

  • Aprilrainb208

    Hahahaha. I read Twilight…it was…interesting in the least. It was ok, but then everyone started watching it. and then the movies came out. That was the end of Twilight for me, the acting was terrible and the story was ruined and the special effects didn't bring the book any justice. Somehow we have 2 Twilight DVD's in my house. I haven't watched them since we got them haha.

    You're right to not finish it though. It's not worth it…at least not any more.

  • Spazattack215

    charlie i completely agree with you that most of the stuff written by stephanie meyer is garbage. (or rubbish for u awesome british people!) like th efirst time i read it i was like “oh, cvampires, cool.” but i was younger then and liked entertaining garbage. and the movies are even worse than the books! HORRIBLE ACTING LOL. the only reason i want to see the eclipse is to gawk over taylor lautner because i am in fact a female teenager. ur ahmayzing charlieee!

  • Tipper

    Yeah…
    One of the most annoying things about that book is that the plot is actually slightly addicting (if you're a young, squealing seventh grade girl, at least, which I used to be…). The writing is absolutely horrible, but that's completely overlooked, and people actually start to believe that Stephenie Meyer's writing is good. Which sucks for all who know otherwise and who want books to be held at a higher level than that.
    Oh well….

    Oh Twilight.
    I've read the whole series. I don't know why. I didn't even enjoy the books but I felt compelled to know what happens at the end. The terrible writing in those things… oh dear.
    I can empathise with you and Alex's pain. You're lucky, now Alex is doing them, he will not be allowed to stop.
    I am aware of this because I will be part of the mob of people with pitchforks if he does stop, 'cause that book may be awful, but it makes freakin' hilarious videos.

    Hey Charlie! You've great ideas, this video was very funny also, but I was wondering if you could tell me why do you have a Twilight poster in your bedroom (somewhere in the right corner) if you hate the book? Or is it a caricature?I'm interested in because I don't like the “Twilight saga” so I don't have any posters or anything about it.

  • http://astronomerpc.wordpress.com Stephanie

    I love this. I'm pretty sure, if I were to ever read this book, I would have the same commentary on it as you.

    Also, I've tried to post this comment 3 times and am having some “operator error” issues. I apologize if this somehow actually has posted 3 times.

  • Carys_james

    It really irritates me how many people have most probably lied in the comments they have left, in relation to twilight. I mean, Twilight is a hit. Everyone's heard of it, everyone knows something about it, everyone has their opinion on it. I will not say that I hate it, cause i dont, and whats the point in lying, for, lets face it, for Charlie to instantly fall in love with you by reading your pathetic 'oh, i agree Charlie' and 'whatever you say Charlie' comments. Okay, the book isn't well written, its a bit depressing, and Kristen Stewart can't act to save her life, but, putting aside all its shitness, i read the book, I watched the films, and hey, I liked it. Charlie is a teenage boy, of course he isn't going to fall in love with a fictional vampire, but girls do, we obsess over that kind of thing, I mean, the girls who watch Charlie's videos, myself included, all watch because we like Charlie, but dont just agree with everything he says, if your opinion is different, which for most of you it is, say it, say what you think, instead of being pathetic enough to lie in the faintest hope that Charlie will read your comments (unlikely guys) and fall madly in love with you, its not happening – so get over it.
    Obviously, i also have no life, because i'm sitting on my computer writing this, but ,hey ho, xxx
    ps: and you may notice that i posted another comment saying i agreed with charlie, and i realised that i didn't, and thats what made me post this comment x

  • Alyson : )

    woooooohooooo!!!! go charlie i was waiting for you to make a video about this !! i was waiting ………………… staker hahaha ok im just a little happy : )

  • Avarice

    Best fictional couple has to be Trisha Elric and Van Hoenheim – in my opinion anyway, since Hoho had to do (IMHO) one of the most scary things in the (fictional) history of ever. It was a tragic, yet very happy mini story.

    Twilight is not a love story, it's a story created by perverts, for perverts. If someone can actually see true romance in the story, I applaud you.

  • Avarice

    I don't like this comment for a few reasons.

    1) Like I've said before, you can't assume what people are thinking from the comments they write. You assume that those who simply put that they agree with Charlie probably do like the book and are just saying so to get his attention; it could be true, however, you can't assume it to be true since you don't know these people personally. People who write these comments might not be bothered to create a wall of text like other fan girls, or maybe they don't have much to say on the matter any more, what with Twilight being relatively old and soggy news now. Anyway, it's one thing to have an opinion on, say, a novel, someone else's opinion or a person you actually know – however, to make an assumption on people you don't know, is a little unfair. I mean I could make the assumption, that you are trying to make like these fans are just sheep and liars to make a certain someone like them or try to stand out, just so that this comment would look more “original” so that you are the one trying to stand out to get a certain someone's attention… of course if I did this, I'd just be a hypocrite.

    2) This comment made an assumption about the genders. Not that this is the worst thing to do, but like everything else, there are a good few problems when trying to use this in reasoning. First off, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black are not the only characters in the book, if you care to notice, Bella is the main character. A boy could possibly end up liking her and therefore read the book because of that. There are also gay guys, who would read it the same reason your stereotypical girl might. you get my point. As for girls, we don't all like stalkers and pedowolves… no wait sorry, I mean “love stories”. As for me, I prefer my stories to contain either comedies (I am partial to a good rom-com) or things with action, or magic… or something. One last thing, girls may like vampires, though what those things are in Twilight is not what the masses call a “vampire”, if anything, they are probably closer in relation to pixies (but then this is my opinion).

    3) If you have no life, you have time to check your grammar, and to space this wall of text, so it's easier to read, or something. That and typing out a 100-200 word comment (or so), with poor grammar should take less than ten minutes to write. Also, saying you have no life for writing this comment is hypocritical, since you picked on the people who agreed with Charlie without giving further opinions could actually ave a life. So your either saying that those people who have lives are suck ups, or the people who write more than two words have no life. Either way it's pretty insulting, if you ask me.

    4) Admittedly this comment retracted your original comment about agreeing with Charlie, but nonetheless it still seems hypocritical… I mean obviously originally, you were all to eager to agree with Charlie, but then you changed your mind. Does that mean you came to the realization that there is no chance of him ever liking you for that little comment and so felt like sharing your realization? Or, by putting our realization of this might actually get you noticed… since it mildly looks like effort was put in with this comment.

    Of course, this is just my opinion… many probably disagree with me. Also, I apologize if my spelling is off, it's rather late… or… early(?) so I'm tired. What with it being the summer holidays my body clock has gone so even though I am tired, I can't sleep. I'm just here out of boredom.

    Him trying to do a Welsh accent would be funnier what with the Welsh and the English being “enemies”… Yes, I want the chance to make fun of him for doing a lame job of the Welsh accent! *Evil laugh”

    An English friend of mine thought I was English though, since I have this strange hybrid Welsh/English accent (apparently).

  • dramaramasam

    Here's just a few things on my mind after watching this:

    1) Charlie, you're adorable.

    2) Mad props for reading even a chapter of Twilight. I only know 1 or 2, maybe 3 guys who have read it and the fact you even bothered made my day.

    3) New challenge: Make a video about how to make things (i.e. purses, picture frames, decorative boxes) out of gum wrappers or candy wrappers.

    4) Do you have any college plans?

    5) Do you read these posts?

  • Just a girl

    Hi, Charlie… I just wanted to say that you are SO awesome. <3 xD This comment is not really about this video, I just needed some place to comment. :'D I found you on Youtube because my friend said that there was a really cute guy named Charlie there, and I was like “WHERE? :DD” and she gave me a link to your page and ohmygod she was right<3 xD You are too awesome, you know that? I love how you talk about things, you are so good at saying things in ways that makes them sound funny n.n I just love your videos. And you make great music, too! Your duet was SO adorable and AWWW your face <3 xD

    I am SO going to stalk you know. Teehee :3

  • Carys_james

    I have to say that for the most, i do disagree, but I’m not going to go calling you names and slagging you of or whatever, because you have a valid point.
    1)My assumption was made on the basis that I am a 14 year old girl, who is surrounded by other teenage girls (and boys – may i add) and I know what those people are like, and that they would be likely to write comments like that. Also, as you know, my original comment was one agreeing with Charlie, so i know the thoughts that were going through my head when I wrote.

    2) The ‘no life’ thing, was just to affirm that, yes, I do sit around and watch youtube videos and crush on people , and to say that I wasn’t being a hypocrite – sorry if you percieved it differently

    3) After writing my original comment, I stopped and thought about how sad it was that I had sat there and lied when I knew perfectly well that what I said wasn’t entirely what I thought. My comment was really just me venting because I had come to the realization that, a stupid comment wasn’t going to make Charlie fall in love with me or whatever. I realise that I don’t even like the guy that much, how can I when I don’t even know him, he colud be a prick for all I know. Contrary to what you think, my comment wasn’t much thought out, like i said, more like venting.

    Thanks for commenting x

  • Katy

    Holy cheese, I'm so relieved you feel the same way about that book as Alex does. I could rant on forever about what a Shilo Pit it is. But I wont. Well done forgetting through a chapter of it, you and Alex are men MEN I SAY! Very brave people -sniffs-. Anywayz, if you are reading, have a nice day and hopethe weekends good for you =)

  • fourtehLOLz

    Why do you need to keep your videos under four minutes?

  • A rather angry Katy

    Hang on,just read that comment about how we could all be lying and just agreeing with Charlie cus we're all screaming fan-girls. You maybe, were lying about how you dislike the book,but I for one am not.
    I like you Charlie because you're a very nice and entertaining guy, not because your good looking or fit or whatever. And, well, basically, I found that a little sort of stereotypical how you think all the people posting here are wimpy teenage fangirls of Twilight and Charlie (yeah, ok, I'm a girl teenager but don't mean I'm your stereotypical one) . I absolutely hate Twilight, I can promise you on that one, and I'm not a suck up (hate suck ups ¬¬). Sheesh, I don'teven know why I'm wasting my time adding this comment about this book. Twilight should never have been published,full stop. Every copy should be burnt.

    And yeah, I have no life, big deal, I like being a nerd XD Means I can think whatever I like and can have no one giving a monkeys armpit.

  • Avarice

    Thanks for the reply! It’s nice that you took my lack of sleep post relatively seriously, which is pretty cool of you. Though, my comment wasn’t really thought out either, it was just done out of boredom – that and when I’m extremely tired, I become more motivated to do anything and it just so happened that I targeted your comment; which by default makes you even more awesome for responding. On top of that, by replying to me you are also adding to what you were saying originally (in a good way) since you are explaining what you meant from a different angle, helping people to understand what you meant better in general. ^-^

  • HeyGuysItsAnnie

    Hey, Guys, Y'know he doesn't read these comments, so you can stop pretending to hate twilight (for those who are) and stop trying to post things that you think he will read and then instantly fall in love with you and find you.

  • http://twitter.com/__ellenjane__ ellen simpson

    this is exactly what i think ;O <3

  • JustSaana

    I like this challenge :D Great comments, once again you made me laugh.

    Ohh I'm so tired with those “TWILIGHT<3<3<3EDWARD<3<3<3″ stories. Sometimes I've been thinking that there is something badly wrong with me: I'm a silly teenager girl, but when I read Twilight for the first (and the last) time, I found it maybe one of the worst books that I've ever read in my life. Ok, some parts were absolutely hilarious, like the reason why Eddie can't go to school on a sunny day: he's glittering! Bling bling! Tragic.

    So I just wanted to say – thanks for making my day. :)

  • Val Magic

    omg! that book is good, but well the video was really fun!
    i am waiting for your next video.
    bye.

    ps: with a 2 pages you can't see the story of the book and you can't appreciate that magic world =P

  • Lea

    You actually are brilliant :D I can't believe I'm really enjoying this, since I have to admit that I quite like the Twilight stuff…

    I hope being able to laugh about the completely absurd story makes me a better person somehow :D

    umm how do you frickin know i know there is only like a 4/10 chance he will but still
    and if people say they dont like it either then can you not just belive them
    and thay can you what they like
    so just go away if your a hater :L

  • Avarice

    1) Actually reply to the commenter using the reply button, it just makes things easier for everyone, what with you actually talking to the girl in this comment. Unless of course there is a reason for you not directly replying. For example, if you did reply to the commenter you are referring to, this comment would be below hers and on a different page… minimizing the chance that a certain someone would read this? Now I'm not saying that that was your intention of course, but someone could quite easily hold this against you in a different comment and maybe even use it to their “advantage” or not.

    2) Either talk to Charlie or talk to the commenter, don't switch between the two, because it gets to the stage where the word “you” becomes confusing/misleading. Are you talking to Charlie or the commenter you disagree with? Make sure to make this clear otherwise people could read your comment in the wrong way, making it read differently than what you intended… not that it necessarily matters what others think though right?

    3) I've already spoken to the commenter, maybe a little more tactfully than your comment, she's also responded and cleared up that it was just her personal rant to herself more than anything else. Though I'd recommend you go read her reply for yourself, if you want to that is.

    4) Why does everyone who writes a slightly longer comment or rant have to say they have no life or shouldn't have bothered. I mean, life is subjective and what people do with it is up to them. If someone likes using the internet more than going shopping then that is their life and visa versa. Or if you feel you shouldn't have bothered, there is always the cancel button. Again, to those judgemental people out there, that statement may make the whole comment look like a ploy for attention.

    5) I agree, the publisher of Twilight (along with the rest of the books) should have made sure that they were of a better standard both grammar and spelling wise. They should have also made sure that the contents were more suitable for the age group the books are aimed at: someone you don't know that is watching you while you sleep is wrong and creepy, not romantic (etc). However, it is too late for all that now, is has accumulated a good amount of fans who therefore have the right to like it (even if the romances in the book could be seen as morally… unstable…). So suggesting that something relatively harmless be burned, which could possibly offend someone is kind of unnecessary.

    Essentially, from a person outside of this matter. It could look like this comment is of the same standard as the comment you dislike, only in reverse. Of course, this is just my opinion and I don't know everything.

  • Avarice

    There's no point in bothering it just makes you look hypocritical. People aren't going to change just by reading your comment, which is just as naive as thinking Charlie is going to fall for someone from reading their wall of text.

  • Thorasand

    You are brilliant! But one question that I hope you answer in a video or something, you have colored your hair again? :o I thought your hair started to get its natural color, but now it's red again … If you have colored it again, please say why!

    Doctor who is legendary. The difference is that the writers of doctor who have more imagination and actually try to explore scientific ideas using an educated approach. It does not prey on the heart strings of young teenage girls nor mislead them into thinking absurd things about romance & love. By the way.. I enjoyed most of the twilight books, not the best written of novels but entertaining all the same, to an extent :)

  • Ellaratwaters

    urgh, Twilight…finally somebody who shares my opinion of this insult to Vampires! I mean, sparkling? what is that all about? They are blatantly fish from space (or more specifically, Saturnyne). That would make Twilight faaaar more interesting, eh? high school girl falls in love with a fish from space. I'd read that.

    That way we would have 5 Challenge Charlie's for the price of one! I like it…

  • Avarice

    I just want to add to what Sara said. Just because a person likes something with a passion doesn't mean you can't dislike someone else's passion. That and if you were to insult Doctor Who and call it stupid, then that's just your opinion, which you are entitled too; I'm pretty sure Charlie wouldn't say “You can't say Doctor Who is stupid because you like twilight so much”.

    Basically what your saying is that if I were to not like my friends friend/boyfriend for whatever reason that gives me no right to like/love my friend/boyfriend. Or because I like banana i should also like mango, I mean after all, they are both fruit – Just as Doctor Who and twilight are both forms of fiction.

    One last thing, like Sara has said, Doctor Who is legendary, it's been on TV for years… my dad used to watch it religiously when he was young; it's on a completely different level to Twilight. Not to mention that both pieces of Fiction have a different type of genre, Twilight being a really corny “Romance” and Doctor Who being a Sci-Fi with a really vast target audience now. Like most will tell you, Doctor Who is in a completely different league to Twilight so much so that I don't think they are even comparable, but then that's just my opinion.

    Edit: I just noticed you saying doctor who is… “more make believe”? What does that mean exactly? I'm just gonna answer that as how it looks. Twilight has sparkling vampires in it… now as much as it lacks imagination, that is much more “make believe” than what we have seen on Doctor Who; y'know since twilight is of the Fantasy genre (which I forgot to add in earlier) and DW being of the Sci-Fi genre.

    Well, you already live together, you could just have an home date, candle-lit dinner and a romantic film. You could watch Twilight together and laugh at it.

    ANNNNYYYWAY. I thought this was excellent and it made me chuckle out loud (not darkly, though) at various points – I think you should read us more Twilight. I borrowed Twilight from a friend who in turn had bought it as a quick airport read and was eager to get rid of it (dunno why!) and by page 2 I was a hater.
    The problem in all this is that I'm probably a good 10 years older than you!

    i read tht book, & the part where u were talking about bella hearing her heart beat was funny. but if i could heard some1else's i would give the other person a weird look, expesially (i'm smart, my spelling's crappy) if it's 1 of my stalker's who have been stalking me scince EVER! this mite seem random, but u should do a vid of u singing the dr who theme song! tht would b FANTASTIC!

    I have now stuck them in the back of my wardrobe, they've languished there for ages.
    If they ever come out, it will only be for use as fire fodder.

  • Marina

    It is my responsibility to defend Twilight since a bunch of you peeps are set against it. I'm not saying that I'm into vampires or anything, I'm not, but the author who wrote the series is amazing!! She has a fabulous imagination and is a phenomenal writer. Her creativity is top notch and it keeps on stunning me how much she can write when i can't even make up one story and actually finish it! lol

    I read the first book when I was in the tenth grade. And back then no one knew that these books existed. It was way before fans came around because of the movies. And i has to say, I sorta feel special to be one of the first ones to pick those books up and wait for the next one to come out.

    When I heard about the movies, i was ok with it. The only problem was that i hoped that they wouldn't kill the books. And, well, apparently it did for most of you. So, if you were like me, read them before the movies came out, you would have enjoyed the books. It's true I tell ya, i will NEVER enjoy a book after i saw the movie.

    I hope that i didn't ramble on too much since this is a wicked long comment.. (please don't hate me.) And I hope that no one judges a book by the movie.

    That's all^^ Thanks for having me ;]

  • dianaa

    You are a brave man. I once touched one of those books after realizing how crummy it is and – no joking around – it burned my finger. my finger had a burn from the book. the book caused my finger to burn. book + my finger = burn.. I always knew…

  • http://twitter.com/awnnamarie Awnna Marie

    I respect Stephanie Meyer as a person. I think she has a whole life that she could do plenty of things with, and she had a good idea. She took it and made it reality, for herself. And I think that the first book was a project that she wanted to see on shelves regardless of the effort she put into it (which, in my opinion, seems fairly nonexistent). But once the first book shot up to the bestsellers, I think she dropped everything about writing for herself, and that's where my respect depleted, because she started writing for the masses. To make money, and for the people that were reading it. Screaming fans and what not.

    The problem is that there is really no quality to the actual writing. The grammar and wording is off, the sentence structure is elementary, and it shocks me that she ACTUALLY has a degree in English Literature. So because of this, she's convinced many of her teenage readers that they can turn their most unrealistic and, may I say, stupid fantasies into books that other people will love. So they're churning out these worthless manuscripts in as little time as they can and SWAMPING the publishers with CRAP that they have to weed through, which takes their attention away from the books that are actually interesting, original, and well-written.

    Being a writer myself, this poses a large roadblock for my future. How will I be noticed amid the Twilight fans that THINK they can write?

    Also: I do think that she's mutilated the mythology behind the “vampire.” I support changing things to the point at which you can write your story, but she's twisted it, burned it, and flipped it upside down to the point where she's basically saying, “Nope, sorry, THIS is how it is.” But there is no credibility to it. And the legends in the history of vampire-creatures are fascinating. I was almost offended by this.

    All in all, I support your disdain of Twilight. :)

  • http://twitter.com/awnnamarie Awnna Marie

    I, too, read the books, but I have to disagree with you. I respect Stephanie Meyer as a brilliant mind with a great imagination and a real future ahead of her, but I don't think that her series was well-written at all. It sounded like she had no idea what she was doing.

    Although, that might be because her character is far from intelligent, and writing in the first person perspective as she did limits you to the intellect of your narrator.

    I read the books in the eighth grade, soon after they came out. And I disliked them before the mass craze of “I LOVE/HATE TWILIGHT.”

  • Emmalee

    Actually, from what I've read most, if not all, publishing companies churn out things like Twilight because they make lots of money off of it, because they're 'blockbuster hits.' Obviously, this works. However, they also publish good literature. But a lot of people only want to read 'blockbuster' hits, so they publish them to make money to keep their buisness running while also being able to publish books that are actually, well, good. An example of a company that does this, is whoever published Stieg Larsson's trilogy in the US.

    So, if you're a good author, or write a blockbuster hit, you have a good chance of being published. :D

    so i've just gone on a “wow charlie is so funny and i'm so late at finding this” phase for the past two days , and i have watched your duet song like 6 times .
    some of your videos dont work on my computer, which makes me curse it angrily
    this video is my favourite. because you called carlisle carlie .
    and because you called bella crazy.
    because i've always thought “that could never happen.” at that part and i've always thought she's a little crazy too .

    I think twilight might have been written better in 3rd person. Because I have a feeling Steph likes to describe EVERYTHING It sounds stupid when bella describes herself with “ivory skin” and edward with “bronze hair” urgh. I felt with this first book I couldn't get hooked, like non event after the other until she actually finds out he is a vamp….just it coul've been better I agree with you. :-)
    I actually remember a friend of mine recomended Twilight to me so I went to search for it in the Libary…but it wasn't there!! That was only last year or so…I bet its there now haha.

    Loving Charlie :-)

  • Bridges b

    i found that us canadians actualy do sound like americans

  • Chloe

    I agree with what you said about the poor writing, etc. However, why do you assume that all Twilight fans are bad writers? I was once a Twilight fan, when I was twelve. I've realized that the book is written horrible and Bella is a Mary-Sue. I'm concerned that you think all Twilight readers are bad writers. Personally my writing wasn't changed because of Twilight when I liked it.

    Sure it might not be the best book to be reading while you are writing a book. I just don't understand why you think reading a poorly written book causes you in turn to write a poorly written book.

    omg!!! charlie i don't even know if you will ever see this! and i really hope you do!! (sorry, i use alot of exclamation marks)… ANYWAYS! i hated youtube and the idea of so many lame videos just being ON! and maybe that was because i never got the idea of it… and THEN! one day i go to my friend's house, & she's like “oh, you have to see this video, its really funny” & she switched on “charlie reads twilight” & ever since then, i have been hooked on to my macbook, on youtube, watching your videos… & incase you don't know this, you are known even in INDIA! =) n people actually really like you!! sooooo well done charlie… =D

    I do not consider that all Twilight fans must be bad writers: only that Stephanie Meyer has given some people false hope. There are people out there that could NEVER write, and never wanted to or thought of it, then decided that there was an off-chance that they could do it.

    Reading a book could never affect someone enough to change their skill or style, unless they consciously decided to let it, or even encouraged it in themselves.

    I don't believe that reading the book causes bad writing. Just that it causes people to dream even though it isn't really *their* dream. Does that make sense?

  • http://twitter.com/awnnamarie Awnna Marie

    Awww, well thanks, dear. :) For the vote of confidence anywho. Honestly, I don't care who my fans are. I don't need *fans.* Just people that will read my work and THINK about it. So that I know that I was smart enough to make them think. I don't want screaming fans and red carpets, I want people that will ask me well-thought-out, in-depth questions that involve detailed explanations. D:

    Wow. Am I a nerd today. Really, yesterday, I caught myself ranting about why you should never build a rigged nuclear power plant on top of a temporal rift and park a time machine on it.

  • Wenedhel

    Honestly, I've read all of them – Twillight and so on. At the begining, I consider it to be gripping and the best one I've ever read BUT than, when the movie appeared and I saw hot girls reaction… I understand that saga is for such people… I went through the text again and didn't like it as much as at the first time.
    Movies are much worse than books and after watching them I really don't know why I was so impressed :D

  • Nn

    you're beautiful :)

  • Nmepurplemonkey

    omg charlie wats ur email address? i would totally LOVE 2 talk 2 u!!!!!!!!!!! plz dont think im a stalker im really nice oh and my b-day is coming up like really soon so happy way early 20th b-day!!!!!!! LOVE YA no seriously i luv u

  • ienjoyrainbowsinmyfreetime

    uhm……O_O…..*cough……cough cough* BAHAH!! lollll ur sooo hilarious!XD loll i love the fact outta all books u picked twilightXD excellent choice!! llol

  • Abetterworld

    As another Challenge Charlie, (loved your reactions on this one), I challenge you to create a parodical trailer of a movie that pretty much everyone agrees on is terrible.

  • Marianne

    Gosh. I think I'm gonna burn every twilight book I'll see from now on. Seriously, the first time I tried to read this “thing” I thought the book sucks because of a bad translation -I'm french so excuse my very bad english by the way-.but actually it seems to be worse in the original version ! At least we don't have to read a book full of grammar mistakes. Technically, we don't have to read it at all.
    By the way I like your video stuff (I think I just spent my whole day laughing again and again seeing your youtube channel so thanks for giving a little laugh to poor french girls as me !)
    Congrats and erhm… I don't know how to end up properly so I'll just say nothing at all.

    I have absolutely no interest in Twilight, but I actually listened to you read it.

  • Kota_ann95

    omg charlie i luv twilight and my fav. book iz eclipse

  • Abby_a_babe

    i have been watching many of your videos on youtube and found that me have many things in common, the main things would be: i collect train tickets, i put things on my wall, i will never pick up twilight again after reading one page of it explaining Bella’s car and i love the Beatles! But Justin Bieber, i never, never liked him at all and never will. I love you videos keep it up forever, even though past 18 is sort of the limit for doing weird things. Love your editing! :) xxxxxxx

My favorite book of Anne Rice is The Vampire Lestat he is unforgettable. Congratulations for you by all videos… JJCM

  • GJF07

    Hi Charlie, me and my friend think that you are really cool! I am english, and we are huuuuuge fans of yours (and Alex’s too..) We had an idea about what you should do next: Well, my friend says that you should try and burp the alphabet….. I think you should film (or get someone else to) film ‘a day in the life of Charlie..” lol

  • Yourmom

    my friend told me she was watching this really funny guy on youtube called charlieissocoollike and i was bored so i decided to check it out…now for the past for hours i have been watching your youtube videos….you are HILARIOUS. i especially love the video where you try to do an american accent. i laughed SO hard and i barely every actually laugh out loud…but with your videos i do! they’re AWESOME.

  • randomgirltyping

    yes, he’d make the perfect edward. it’s just that kristen stewart doesn’t deserve him.

  • Julii

    Heeey, you’ve got the same accent like me. And I’m not even from Britian. ^^

  • Catherine

    thank you for hating on Twilight.

  • http://leesmilezz.weebly.com/ leeSmilezz (follow on Twitter)

    For some masochistic reason, I watch the whole Alex Reads Twilight series and Charlie Reads Twilight more than my Twihard sisters actually read Twilight… why does this stupid vampire story interest me so much? Oh, because it’s shit… :)

  • Lea !!

    ok, this is the first video i saw from you !
    “he chuckled darkly” has been my status EVERYWHERE for about a month now and i love it ! :D
    you’re amazing !

  • Ellie

    this actually made my day.
    “there is something seriously wrong with her!!”
    oh and i am quite gladly admitting that i may or may not be slightly in love with you
    red-head pride :)

  • danyiel

    after watching this i have no idea why i was ever so obsessed with twilight.. and dont worry. Through out reading twilight i always pronounced “carly” as like char-S-ee or somthing of that sort; so don’t feel bad.
    P.s: you have a lot of creepers on here :o

  • Freddo

    You rock Charlie! My names Charlie lol…
    P.S: Make more youtube videos of things like “Big Bang 2″ that rocked!
    P.P.S: Your Awesome!!!!!

  • Julía.

    You’re doing great videos, hope I can go to England soon. :)

  • Kate

    Something’s wrong with Bella, finally someone noticed it… though it is not heartbeat :D

  • Kate

    her heartbeat, I wanted to say :)

  • Maisie

    cool

  • sarah

    Please marry me.

  • Miriam

    This was great, though be glad you didn’t have to read it all. I used to be obsessed with Twilight, reading the whole series in under a week, but now I just want to forget all about it. And I pronounce Carly’s name as ‘Carl- aisle’ but I can’t remember if that’s right…

  • Jazzyspazzy

    LOL I thought this was fantastic. Best interpretation of that failure of a series ever. =) Wish you would’ve read it all, I would’ve watched the whole video. Did you just think it was retarded when he jumped at her like that?

  • http://kittyweasley.tumblr.com KittyWeasley

     Twilight is awful. I read the first book because my friend made me – trust me on this one.

  • Ariadna

    i read twilight in russian…
    I read “Twilight, ” but I prefer books Rowlingsorry for my bad English

  • Anonymous

    I’m not going to lie, sometimes Twilight can be a bit stupid, but I still love the series. OMG, an Edward Cullen history lesson in a comment!
    Edward Anthony Masen Jr. was born in Chicago in 1901. His parents were Edward Sr. and Elizabeth Masen. In the year 1918, The Masen family was stricken with the Spanish Influenza. (Yes, Edward Cullen died of the flu. What a weenie.) That’s when Carlisle found them. Edward Sr. had already died, and Elizabeth asked Carlisle to do everything he could to save Junior. So Carlisle tuned him into a vamp. Yey! Fun history time is over!

  • natasha

    “he chuckled darkly”  hahaha))))Charlie,u rock!!!!

  • a person

    it’s dyed.

  • a person

    your english is actually pretty good. better than my french would ever be.

  • i havnt actually tried the series…ever, becus im a harry potter fangirl, and to read twilight would be like cheating on hp. and thats just…wrong…by the way, my opinion of u just increased 10 fold

  • http://twitter.com/helenmiladin Helen Berry

    Yes okay, so this isn’t the video where you tell your orgin story of how your ridiculously addicting channel came to be, BUT! I will say it anyway: Ocarina of Time changed the world of videogames. I must congradulate you on that; also that you have girls swooning over you (watch out, Bieber!) So, that is my comment, a little diffrent from the teenage girl normal, “OMG UR LIKE SO HOT.”

  • Rach

    Charlie i challenge you to read the birth scene of Breaking Dawn! try to read as much of it as you can!

  • Vivian

    I love twilight a lot! I readed all the books. It’s a SO pretty history (:

    And just ONE chapter?! In one chapter, u can’t have an idea of the all book!Kisses!Vivian, a brazilian fan!

  • Cheyenne

    Okay, I’ve read all of the Twilight books, every single chapter, and they’re horrifying. And awful. But there was a point in my life in which I actually enjoyed them. It sounds completely insane, but there it is. Most girls have a Twilight phase-then you re-read the books and feel as though you should be committed. And ashamed. So ashamed. :/

  • Ellen

    And that’s one of the better chapters.

    Also, how cool is that outro? Stephen is all kinds of awesome.

  • Guest

    The Wagoner, Edward weplied. Hahahaha. My friend said weplied in assembly. In front of the whole school…

  • Speedreadz10

    Read the first three books, waiting for it to get better. It doesn’t. 

  • Oh, LAWL

    I would like you to make audiobooks with commentary of the Twifaggery series. Maybe then they’d be far more entertaining. |D

  • Cohocrules

    that was quite funny. i have never actually seen anyone make fun of twilight. i have personally never read the book before because of religious issues, but i am quite happy that i did get to hear you nararate a little bit of it just so that i’m not curious anymore. thanks

  • Guest

    Religious issues ? O.o

  • Augustush2o

    The phrase “chuckled darkly” was also used in harry potter,am I right Charlie?

  • Peetamellark6

    That was the funniest thing i have ever seen! XD
