Juggling

June 5, 2010

First balloon animals, now this … does anyone have a unicycle for sale? If the YouTube thing doesn’t work out, I can always go into clowning.

It was actually really fun to get back into doing a daily video project again, even though it was more “daily” than daily. It probably would have been boring for you to see a video of every day, I think every other day makes it easier for you to notice a significant improvement each time … that’s what I’m going to go with anyway. It had nothing to do with the fact that I was getting so into the juggling that, sometimes, I just forgot to film anything. Nothing to do with that all.

If I can learn to juggle in just over a week, I’m sure that you could manage it too, so if you think that it looks quite fin then I’d recommend it :) For me, as someone who never really gets out the house, it’s been good exercise for my arms. Lord I’m unfit. Anyway.

Before I head off I just wanted to say, thanks a bunch to everyone that pre-ordered a T-Shirt! Now that we have all of the orders, we’ll print one for each of you and ship them on their way to you as soon as they’re done. Just to implicitly state how brilliant you all are: you’ve made this shirt the best selling T-Shirt that DFTBA has ever produced! Which is a very humbling statistic really, thank you so much for your support everyone ^_^

  • Gracie.

    Aww, I really wanted a shirt! But I couldn't convince mum in time D:
    I really think you are so cool like!
    Did you want to be pen pals? That would be so fun ^-^

    You are so pro at juggling. Ahah. Hurruh for Charlie!

  • Taylor

    haha! you can do a 3-ball cascade juggle, but what about 4 balls? or clubs? check this out! it’s a friend of a friend who happens to be a world-class juggler at the age of like 13 (he’s older in this video though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEb3YknGUks

    I tried juggling with three oranges just then. Excuse me while I just clean up the mess…

  • janefromrussia

    charlie is awesome 8)
    i really liked this video, you did a great job :)

  • abi

    Your big brother accent was spot on I must say :P A great video

  • V. Naemi

    I might try juggling myself, after watching this video.
    haha, i'll probably smash everything inside my house..
    You are adorable :)
    thanks for making me laugh! ^^

    The amazing Charlie can accomplish at anything.
    Especially if it's circus related. x]

  • ohhithere

    its 2:30 am where i am, and im actually getting out of bed to juggle. now when my mom asks why im so tired i will have a legitimately awesome excuse.
    thanks for making insomnia fun
    :)

  • VildeFrom NOORWAAY!

    You're awesome!

  • http://twitter.com/Petra_vdH Petra van den Hoven

    ve this video, Charlie!!!
    And why not try riding a unicycle? It's so much fun ;)

  • Samuel Hopper

    One Thing…you spelt Fun wrong in your second paragraph ;) would 'preciate it if this were changed :D great juggling skills by the way ;)

  • Jasmine

    I made a mess at home..
    my mom probably hates me right now ;)

  • amber_animagus

    It is 5:42 AM here, I guess insomnia has its perks. Can't wait for the shirt!

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/SAMuraiamatimelord Sam

    Would you ever want to design shirts that are unrelated to your videos?

    (despite years of video games, I have no hand eye coordination, and therefore no juggling abilities)

  • http://twitter.com/jessstarship Jessica Dam

    I wish I could juggle! But you're pretty good, Charlie!
    I've been trying for years to juggle, but oh, well..
    I'll try again then, if you recommend it ;D
    And hey.. YOU ARE FIT!

    Anyhow.. I want the t-shirt too, but DFTBA's webstore runs through paypal, and I have some trouble with that! Ugh -,-'
    I hope you'll make your own webstore sometime, that DOESN'T run through annoying paypal!
    I love youuuu.. ;D

  • Christina

    I kept clapping when you managed lots of throws in a row. And then i told myself i was an idiot, cuz it's not like you could hear my clapping. So I thought I'd tell you in a comment that I was clapping, so it wasn't a waste :P
    PS I've missed you doing videos and blog entries :( Glad you've done one now :D

  • lubo

    I can too :D congrutalations! :D PS: I'd like a shirt /pls pls pls pls pls pls/ :P :D

    ''Day 6 in the Juggling House…Charlie is in the garden'' XD

  • http://twitter.com/twenster Olivier

    Wow, amazing ! But… How many hours (?) a day did you train ? good challenge Charlie :)

  • http://twitter.com/latrompette Seline Amstutz

    I'm well impressed, I needed wayyy longer to learn how to juggle… so congratulations on another challenge successfully completed! :D
    …I feel the need to go outside showing off my skills to the neighbors now, so I'm going to do that as long as the weather stays good. Have a nice weekend! :)

  • http://www.mylifeisrandom.blogg.no Maja

    I love your videos, they're really funny :D Wish we had more people like you in Norway!

  • Kathy

    I was actually a bit worried that you would get a youtube-free, proper life over the last week because you didn't post any videos or blogposts or whatever, but now seeing that you spent a week learning to juggle for youtube kind of calms me down again :D

  • Mel

    awesome juggling charlie! also – i cannot wait to get the t-shirt, it looked good on you :) also, what was the number of t-shirts sold? just curious.

  • JamesPeterBailey

    Next Challenge Charlie: learn to fly in a week :P But seriously, I was gonna get a shirt, but I only had a tenner :( maybe you could release a shirt at Chistmas time? then most people will have a bit of money from gifts and stuff ;)

  • http://freek.blogg.no Karoline Brevik from Norway

    I really love you're blog! keep up the good work :- )

  • lubo

    that's good idea :D so, charlie? :D

  • Sinead

    I love the big brother voice on day 6 :P

  • Zoey

    yay! new vlog & blog! :D

  • Kat

    Hahaha, this was great.
    A few years ago I had to learn to juggle in Drama at school, cause we were studying circus, it took me a fair while, but I'd like to think I can now juggle (I can also do that thing where you spin those plastic plates on sticks!) :D

  • xuening

    Was getting worried when you didn't post any videos for a long (maybe not that long) time… But it's wonderful that you've done one now. :) A challenge well done here… Maybe the next time you can walk with your hands with a big, red nose that clowns wear, then you'll really become a clown. Or do cartwheels. :p

  • Anna

    Next Challenge Charlie….. check your youtube inbox :)

  • Samissoawesomelike

    The Big Brother voice is amazing, Charlie, all I've said this morning is “Day 6 in the Juggling House” and my mum doesn't understand why I'm saying it :) I think this challenge was very worthwhile, and now…..I really want to learn how to juggle over the summer! And I think I might :) Thanks Charlie for giving me yet another weird but awesome hobby to try and do :D

  • http://twitter.com/tconstellation Tom L

    wow, you did good, i would get frustrated after juggling one ball.

  • http://twitter.com/Janedalek Jane Ganberg

    Nice work, Charlie! You are very good at juggling,have there been any problems with this balls, i mean have you broken anything?Had Alex got annoyed? My dad once bougth such balls and tried to juggle, but he didn't have much success, but i'll definetly try to ask him to do juggling again and try to film him, it'll be fun! Great idea of challenge, too)))
    Thanks a lot for the video, you make me happy, Jane.

  • Anonymous

    Awesome sauce, cool beans, etc.

  • Marii

    “What is your life? What is my life?”. You made a very good point there! I'm already feeling guilty for being here since like, 9:00 AM. And it IS Saturday…

  • TeganW

    I honestly think this is one of your best videos. I don't know how but you managed to make ball throwing… entertaining.
    Well, I enjoyed it.
    Can't wait to recieve my T-shirt!

  • Emma

    Thats incredible! i can hardly juggle with 2, fantastic. :)

  • josephineissocool

    I challenge you to ride a unicycle! I was thinking of this challenge while watching the video, and then WHAM! you say in the blog: “Does anyone have a unicycle for sale?” Bit ironic hey? so yeah, I challenge you to ride a unicycle! (:

  • Zoe

    Wonderful video, very entertaining, I think I may work on my juggling skills tomorrow!
    Love your videos Charlie :)

  • Chris

    You know, I was going to put my unicycle on ebay today :O
    If that wasn't sarcasm, it's yours :P

  • chelenac

    Great video :) Made me want to juggle.. sadly I have no balls, I'm sure oranges will do…
    Andd… I challenge you to become a vegetarian for a whole week.
    DO IT!

  • josephineissocool

    GOOD LUCK FOR TOMORROW IN PRESENTING THE BAFTA WARD!!! You'll do great! (:

    PS: You made a spelling mistake in your juggling blog! lol 3rd paragraph, “so if you think that it looks quite fin then I’d recommend it :)” FINE you mean, not fin! lol

  • Cynthia

    wow so nice,Charlie!!:D
    i tried to juggle at school, i definitely couldn't control it!!!!!!….but my friends did very well…haha
    btw, the T-shirtT-shirtT-shirtT-shirt…i can't wait to get it!!!:p

  • ashleighissocoollike

    Dear Charlie,

    for the last couple of videos I have posted this challenge, and it has always got to the top or close to the top rating wise. I think it's time you did the public the favour and accepted the challenge.

    I challenge you to go out into bath/london and get as many high fives and/or hugs as you can in 1 day. Bring alex, or whatever, and film it, and we'll see how popular you are.

    :) Like this comment if you want charlie to do this challenge, or if you want a hug from charlie :)

    ash xoxoxoxo

  • Tesni

  • josephene

    Actually I think he might mean fun! :) lol i feel horrid correcting you now :).

  • Alex

    I like the idea of your trying to ride a Unicycle…OR you could try and ride a unicycle whilst juggling – a test of your newfound skills (:
    And YAY! for the T-shirts – I can't wait to get mine ASAP…

  • http://twitter.com/ingveldur Ingveldur Jónsdóttir

    Oh I would have bought your shirt if I hadn't been traveling at the time but maybe next time. I think you're a good juggler so good for you. I once took a “clowning” class in school and I was a total failure, maybe you wouldn't be. Yeah, and do @ashleighissocoollike's challenge she posted you in August when I'm in London and then you can give me a hug. Really only because you said that you were a great hugger, I want to test that out. So okay, thanks, bye.

  • saberrrrrrr

    This made my day :]
    I can't wait until my shirt arrives!!!!!! :D

  • Alma

    this was one of your best videos ever! not because it was particulary funny, but entertaining. god bless

  • IND

    Pretty good.
    When I was little I was really good at juggling, but now I can't even do it with two balls. :'D

    I challenge you to built a birdhouse and when it's ready you have to put it somewhere out where you usually go when you are out :D

  • emicat

    Woo! Go juggling! That's cool :) Are you going to make more t-shirts? You are another Doctor Who fan so I have to ask – what did you think of Rory –ing? There. I have avoided spoilers for other people reading this.

  • Lucy

    Looking forward to the t-shirt arriving in the post :)
    I loved the end bit of your video. You're such a fail <3

  • Emily

    i have a unicycle if you want to borrow it?? seriously i do. :L i think a one man charlie circus would be pretty cool :)

  • Hayley

    “If the YouTube thing doesn’t work out, I can always go into clowning.” True, you've also shown you like dying your hair funny colours too, a necessity for any successful clown :P

  • Shannon

    You're doing an awful lot of “Challenge Charlie”s lately. You trying to get them done quicker? 'Cause tbh I'd like more random vlogs. They're more err… random. :)

  • Victoria

    Charlie I have a challenge for you … I challenge you to learn the single ladies choreography however you spell it :D

  • Beks

    “I ain't never not done the juggling before”…is that what you said!?

  • Rose

    I love “Challenge Charlie” – keep doing more!!

  • Jago

    Charlie my sister challenged you to learn single ladies choreography so I'm going to challenge you to something more Arty…like cutting out PAPER PEOPLE CHAIN!!! it should at least be 20 people long! Can you do it?

  • myname

    hello

  • http://drawnlife.blogs.sapo.pt Alexandra Ribeiro

    Hy! I challenge you to make a video without speaking any english. You could try portuguese xD
    or spanish if you prefer, that would be funny too x)

    (or maybe you could try to explain people that portuguese and spanish languages are way different! For some reason, spanish people do not understand us!)
    Obrigada. Gracias :D

  • Jeff

    I wanted to buy a couple shirts but was rather tight on money. I now have some just a coupke days too late. Is there going to be another time that I could buy one medium shirt and one small shirt?

  • ellie mae

    Challenge Charlie-do a monologue in Pig Latin. :)

  • username1117

    I was wondering that too! I replayed it a few times and can't figure it out

  • Carys

    Well done Charlie!

    See that everyone? Charlie can juggle!!

    Also, I loved the Big Brother impression. That was cool. You're cool. Very.

  • Carys

    Indeed. Hail the one man Charlie Circus!

  • Taylor Gold

    Yay! You done it! I could've spent 6 weeks trying to juggle but then in the end I would still be rubbish! Love the new t-shirt! i actually wore it to school and half of my friends want one now! I really want a 'I look better in Purple' t-shirt, so I had to steal my sister! teehee :D Your hair is also starting to fade, the colour I mean, the colour is starting to fade not your hair. :P Taylor Gold

  • Jago

    Charlie by the by ,I also want to congratulate you on your songs!(Do you write them yourself?) they're really funny I would like to see some new ones…maybe something about Twilight (Stephanie Meyer) and make it reallllllly funny! Just an Idea though….

  • Rachel

    Your mundane juggling faces are priceless.

  • Rachel

    Instead of just posting a picture of the shirt you should post a picture of you in the shirt next next time and I bet they'd sell twice as much.

  • anmol

    pretty good after a week's worth of practice!

  • http://twitter.com/shorty_gurlie Paty Peralta

    he did actually say that!!! lol

  • August

    Ur cool, love ur songs. kbye :b

  • Megan

    :) yay! You can juggle!

  • Nikki

    I've always wanted to learn how to juggle, and you have given me the motivation to learn how.

  • Spamphie

    If you were to become a clown, it would make the whole Ronald McDonnell thing more appropriate. XD

  • Simon Hoff Tysland

    I challenge you Charlie, to do/learn the moonwalk (Michael Jackson style), and some other moves if you like.

    Learn the moonwalk in tribute to Michaels life.

  • http://soldansbarn.blogspot.com Rebecka

    the tshirt is awesome! Im wating over here! :D

  • Emma :)

    I really think you should stick on and wear fake nails for your next challenge :) :L xx

  • Metalguy

    I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO A HEAVY METAL SONG! :)

  • dualdestiny

    I can juggle scarves… that's it.

    It's kind of sad really, they fall much slower than balls do, and are thus theoretically much easier to handle. However, I'm not as good juggling scarves as you are balls. My finger-eye coordination is really quite nice from all those videos games, but the wholehand-eye coordination… that's a level I haven't achieved yet '>.<

    Congratulations on learning another skill!

  • lauren

    i got a shirt, i'm so happppy :D

  • jks

    i do have a unicycle that you can have whenever you want… cause you're charlie

  • Kendall

    Ok.. I have officially decided that I shall also try and learn to juggle. I tried like a year ago and failed miserably :( Lol.
    And can I say that I do in fact have a Unicycle :P Its just very hard to use and I'm not particularly good at that either :D Haha.

  • alice

    aah keep designing more shirts! i was too late for this one :(

  • Tilla

    You juggle quite good, congratulations!
    By the way: I have a unicycle, which I don't use anymore. If you want to you can buy it :D

  • Sarah

    ahahahaha i love the ending. “challenge completed, i can juggle…gesticulation…awkward ending…the end!” youre so funny. i wish i could juggle…maybe i should try it…i challenge you to do a marathon/triathalon/one of those things that fit people do. it would make a good video. even if you are unfit, you look pretty good to me :P

  • chandni

    306th viewer :) haha great viideo :)
    i cant juggle:(
    i wish i could!!
    i might make a video response thing and learn…
    you inspire me :)
    xx

  • TinyKaty

    Awesome on the jugging (Y) :D
    But I am proper gutted that I missed out on the newest t-shirt :( I can't order stuff online because I currently have no money in my bank, so I had to get my mum to do it for me, and she forgot :'( Please keep designing them because I want at least one! :D

  • joshua

    i cant juggle i wish i could waaaaa

  • HarryFunny

    I challenge you to play Operation xD

  • Seaphire

    Good job learning how to juggle!

    I CHALLENGE YOU to organize a flash mob and film it!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_mob

  • rokku

    Pointless skill? Nah, I bet you can now entertain your friends for hours on end… So, if you ever read this, I think it'd be fun to write a song using only tongue twisters, maybe make some of your own, too. That would be my challenge :D

  • http://shlumpproductions.webs.com Ben

    i challenge you to make one video…… with out using any editing at all haha, and one continuous video

  • princess_marzipan

    amazing juggling skills charlie. and guess what….I have those exact same juggling balls!!! shame i cant juggle….i can manage to balls but not three….i guess ill have to keep practising

  • Paige!

    I challenge you – Charlie – to play chubby bunny on camera! I think you should do it. Please? Haha,

  • uffie

    I've been thinking about challenge for you, and it was a hard mental work:) (I don't know if did i use correct tenses, but whatever:P)

    A long time ago I was shooting a film about people and their participation in mass culture (very smart subject, because this was a school project, but I had a lot of fun :p). What do you think about making video with unknown people in the streets of your city? You could ask them about crazy things.

    My another idea is making a list of your favorite and beloved things, which make you happy (with demonstration of course:D). For example: dancing when you're home alone, catching food in your month, wearing your favorite pair of underwear, staying in your pajamas all day (exactly it's my cheer up list :D)

    PS. Your juggling is awesome!

  • Lucy

    I challenge you to fix the grammatical errors in this blog :)

  • Beckyboo

    I am just hoping that the T-shirt fits me XD. If it doesn't I'm gonna have to kill myself. Awesome juggling skills x

  • Dayna

    He made a video called, “My mum makes me munch marshmallows”, which is basically chubby bunny. :)

  • beckyboo

    omg yeah he should deffo do a Triathlon! (just don't invest in a trisuit. Just don't…)

  • Kari

    Will you do a quick sequel in which you juggle random objects around the house or flat or where ever you are?

  • Rhema

    Hahahaha! That was a true joy to watch. I love how you said “You're sitting in front of your computer watching a guy juggle. What's up with your life? What's up with MY life?!” You're so funny, Charlie. I am pretty good at juggling myself although I haven't tried it for awhile. When I was younger I used to be pretty good but probably not anymore. I unfortunately am not one about to get your new tshirt. These were really bad money times for me, sadly. However, I do have the first shirt you made and I am holding out for your debut CD! You can bet I'll buy that!

  • beatlespennylane

    Nice flat!

  • Abby

    You make juggling look so easy! And you are so funny. I know you probably won't read this but I'm from America and we find it really amazing how if you say “beer can” with a British accent it sounds like “bacon” in a Jamaican accent. If you could say “beer can” in your next video, it'd be amazing!

  • http://twitter.com/CaroOolien Carolien

    I came up with a challege for you, so, here it is…:
    I challenge you to play a song on the bagpipe in original scottish clothing ^_^
    I hope you will do this challenge and if so I think it will be a lot of fun =)

  • lolface magicer.

    it looks quite fin does it?
    Haha, i love pointing out mistakes, sorry.

    you have an amazing blog! i read it every day. My friend told me about you, and she reads it as well. ( I must just say that if my english are really bad, it because i'm from Norway)
    In a video called “why women scare me” (i think) you said that you never had a girlfriend. and i must ask, is that really true? oh my god, that can not be true! you are funny, good at juggling, and oh my god your pretty! just saying. could you might answer this is the next video? or just answer here or maybe e-mail me?

  • http://twitter.com/thatcrazyrobot Angela

    Charlie, I challenge you to record yourself talking in an American accent throughout the whole video. AND (muahaha), you cannot edit the video once it is finished. BTW, you make juggling look so easy! Maybe that will be my new hobby. :D

  • http://twitter.com/thatcrazyrobot Angela

    Ooh! I have another idea! :D I challenge you, Charlie, to show us all the items on your wall, and tell us what each and every one of them mean to you. :)

    I second Lauren's challenge for you to learn all of the Ocarina of Times songs on either the melodica or guitar.

  • liviaannrox

    O man I wanted this shirt so badly and didn't have the darn money. But:
    You probably can't see any compliments anymore, but just to let you know a 300,000th time: You're an inspiration, you're kind and you're so nice and well thanks for that!
    Please keep it up, love from Germany to UK.

  • Silvia

    You're so good! It took me a couple of MONTHS when I first learnt to juggle. And yes, you are getting quite fit for a career into clowning, you've even got the right hair colour :P

    But seriously, if you enjoy this sort of thing, you should try walking on stilts as well. It's a lot easier than it looks; finding or making a pair of those would actually be the hardest part.

  • emse

    I also challenged you to juggle. Heh.

  • Gabi

    charlie i just think you're amazing :D xx ((and now reasonably good at juggling too!)) x

  • Kristina

    that was awsome. i tried juggling b4 but i just suck at it. well, considering the fact that im not even coordinated enough to walk in a strait line its not that suprising. and please dont become a clown. clowns are scary and if u watch the movie “It” to many times as a child like i did you would be scared to. im sorry i wasnt able to buy one of the shirts but my dad was to busy all week to tell me if i could or not.

    well anywhooo,
    I love the videos and hope u make more soon.
    love ya.
    Kristina.

  • Alice XD

    Haha! That was funny! I love watching people juggle! Its so hypnotizing! So I just watched the juggling and paid no attention to anything being said! Haha…sorry. I go back and watch it again only this time I shall pay attention to the words!!

    By the way I think your subconscious is trying to tell you something. Red hair, balloon animals, juggling… Be sure to take of your makeup every night when you become a clown. Its not good for your skin to leave that much makeup on over night.

  • Emma D

    I challenge you and chameleon circuit to go on britains got talent :D i'm watching it at the moment and just thought you guys would do pretty well on it :) and it would be great to see you guys on it ;D
    you might even get to the variety show infront of the queen, if you did i would have to dare you to paint yourself purple again, her face would be priceless :) xx

  • Cloud (itsacloudylife)

    i challenge you to hold a debate and come to a conclusion on : team Jacob or team Edward?

    because i really want you to pick this im going to put reasons!! firstly it would appeal to your many female viewers/subscribers. secondly it would be interesting for you to tske part in such a feminine matter. thirdly you would be helping to come to a conclusion to this seeming endless debate. and fourthly, it would just be funny! :D

  • elliellielliellie

    yeahh! triathlon!
    i did one last summer with a weeks notice following an argument with my family about how unfit i was, i completed it though :)

  • lizweihert

    charlie you should chug a whole bottle of syrup! :D

  • Stephanie

    yayy,. cant wait to get my shirt :DD

  • Tia

    I love you charlie!! :D <3

  • Kristin

    you got pretty good by the end of the week :)

    I've always wanted to juggle, but didn't think that i would be able to do it, but you make me want to try :)

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/MarcusBritish Marcus

    Hey Charlie – as you may still be looking for future challenge ideas I have a suggestion, although it could border on tricky. However, I'm sure someone with your capacity for thinking would have no problems. I would challenge you to do either a bungee jump, or a parachute jump.

    Whilst they're easy to arrange, in some locations, the tricky bit is the cost. I don't know about bungee jumping, but I believe the airport near me has (or did once have) a company that offers parachute jumping and if the jumper is raising over £500 (I think) for charity they can jump for free. Perhaps you could make your challenge sponsored, and so have some cause benefit from the challenge as well as have great fun doing it? Given your fan base, sponsors should be easily obtained and targets met.

    Regards,
    Marcus

  • jane

    I challenge you to eat one whole bottle of maple syrup!!!!

  • Jazlin

    im not surprised that you learned so quickly.
    it'd take me a long time.
    YOU should learn to play hacky sack. thatd be interesting to watch.

  • Emma

    First off, I have unicycle, if you really want to become a clown. Now all you have to do is learn how to get shot out of a canon, and tight-rope walk. good luck with that.

    Also, NEVER juggle with lemons. NEVER. EVER. NEVER. Especially if you have a puppy.

  • jennifer

    i want one of ur t shirts its not letting me get one (i live in the U.S.A.) so can u like HELP ME
    kthanksloveyoubye

  • jenny

    i challeng you to eat a whole lemon or lime

  • cassie

    Nice job Charlie, I tried to juggle today. Lets just say I am going to be paying for a new lamp.

  • cassie

    don't drink a bottle of maple syrup or any kind of syrup! I did it once and it did not end well. If you want to spend your whole night throwing up than do it.

  • Grace

    theres a typo in your blog i think “so if you think that it looks quite fin then I’d recommend it”.
    But it does look FUN :) i shall try it soon!
    lots of love Charlie!! x

  • http://twitter.com/diegoman48 diegoman48

    nice charlie, pretty good video!

  • http://www.facebook.com/kjwinstanley kjwinstanley

    not too bad :D
    btw – are you selling the purple shirt? x

  • http://www.facebook.com/kjwinstanley kjwinstanley

    Charlie!
    I challenge you to play “Chubby Bunny”!
    x

  • anonymous?

    he already did, it was the 'my mum makes me munch mallows' video (or some title like that)

  • shfargleyargle

    that is so awesome! juggling's always been something I've wanted to do but I'm not very good at it. oh well, maybe I'll give it another go :)

    and I believe the 'circus industry' would love for you to become a clown, it would guarantee thousands of teenage girls at every performance haha <3

    anyways, great video :D

  • Grace Face

    I challenge you to fly to Sparks, Nevada and go on a date with me!!! Hahaha :] <33

  • cammie:)

    when are the shirts planning on coming?
    i'm so excited for mine, probably too much. :)
    and i still really want the 'i look better in purple' one.

  • hayley

    “it looks quite fin” soz beb dnt u lyk mean fun?

    and now I must apologise for ruining the english language,
    but lyk itz funi … :/

  • jordan

    hey charlie

    i would like to ask you a challange charlie die you hair again? maybe? no…
    umm well uhh im know its a weird question to ask but how old are you and please send me a message back because i would like for you not to hesitate! ^^

    thanks jordan

  • mandy

    hullo! i just wanted to point out that you mentioned in your last video or perhaps it was the one before last, that the next video would include NO DOCTOR WHO references, and then alex asked you not to damage Amy in your juggling mishaps. it was just a bit or irony that made me smile :)

    I have recently (well maybe not so recent…like two-months-ago-recent) discovered a great love and admiration for Doctor Who

  • kaputenli

    I challenge you charlie to go elephant hunting, much like your pigs <3

    oh and much more rick astley XD

  • Märta Ekman

    Hello Charlie. I Challenge you to learn swedish! It's not that hard I promise you! But it's fun. :D I'm from Sweden and that would be so cool if you did this! :)

    Thanks / Marta

  • Janjaradadada

  • http://muzikjunkie.tumblr.com asimplecadence

    Oh Charles, you are so lovely. Now you've got yourself a party trick! ^_^

  • Aslaug

    He has already done that, at the channel ChartJackersProject. I don’t think he will be doing it again x]

  • Jasmine

    My request for “CHALLENGE CHARLIE”
    Sing a Tagalog Song (Tagalog is the language spoken in Philippines)
    sing the song “Pinoy Ako”

    here’s the link for the lyrics: http://lyrics.rebelpixel.com/2005/09/pinoy-ako/

  • Aslaug

    wowch, more charlie fans from Norway :D Så kult! :D

  • Laura

  • Mathias

    Hey Charlie!
    Nice! You're quite good at juggling now xD
    I btw have a little challenge for you: I challenge you to dress up as a girl (:
    Hope you're good! Looking forward to your next videO!

  • Jasmine

    Charlie, are there still available t-shirts until now ? (You need to be able to Love yourself t-shirt)
    I really really like the shirt
    I'd love to buy one.
    I'm here in the Philippines. Is it possible to send one here?

  • Laura

  • Hingis

    hello! do u need any more challenges? well here's 1 for u:.i challenge you to drink 5 bottles (or more) of cokes and not burp after that :) lolz its a stupid challenge

  • Jasmine

    Charlie, are there still available t-shirts until now ? (You need to be able to Love yourself t-shirt)
    I really really like the shirt
    I'd love to buy one.
    I'm here in the Philippines. Is it possible to send one here?

  • no one

    he practically already did!!

  • Claire

    CHARLIE!! Nice one with the juggling, I'm dyspraxic so WAYY too clumsy to even try to attempt it xD

    I challenge you to go on a high-fiving rampage in the streets until you get 50 high fives :)

  • Michelle

    Hey, my name is Michelle all the way from Sydney Australia
    I saw you're video doing a duet with yourself and I actually thought you had a twin and it was a joke but then I realised no it is one person doing a duet with himself. I would like to say you are quite talented with video making :) I challenge you to learn to draw in the sand like the winner of Argentinas Got Talent

  • no body

    too late, he said you can only order till 3rd june.

  • Wendy

    Hey, I am from Hong Kong. It's nice to see you juggling very well as day by day~ =] I had never tried to juggle too, after watching your video I am going to try once.

    And Charlie I challenge you to act like Mr Bean's acting in the movie. >_<

  • http://twitter.com/tanvynx Tanvi Tandon

    That challenge would make for an amazing video :P
    Just up it to 150 fives. Crazzy xD

  • http://twitter.com/tanvynx Tanvi Tandon

    I missed you :(

    JUGGLING! YAY! I've always wanted to do that. But I always imagined it would be some sort of.. Natural magical skill.. That would just flow into your hands automatically if you tried..
    But then I tried. And concluded that I do not posess any such natural magical skill.
    But I can! Because you did. I mean, I know you're really special and everything but I believe that if Charlie can, Tanvi can.
    And I now, Imma go try.
    :D

  • Julie

    yeah, do it completely nude :D we won’t mind, will we?

  • http://twitter.com/swissmissviv Viviane Mirafuente

    heyyyy im from the phils too!! hhahaha i ordered it! its coming end of june :D hahaha im so excited, sayang ka, the delivery cost was only $7

  • Danielle

    AHHHHHHHHHH!!! Charlie!!!! You used the word “Gesticulate”! You have now officially moved up to my “Favorite Youtube-er” spot! Why? Because no one EVER knows what gesticulation means and they think I'm nuts when I use words like that. LOL. So, my challenge: Create an entire Youtube video in which you use long words nobody knows, and say interesting stuff while using them. Now THAT would be hilarious to see u do. :D

    p.s. You are supercalifragilisticexpealidocious. And that totally IS a word, thank you very much. But you might not want to look it up in a dictionary. I think that page has been ripped out of every dictionary in the world. Every one.

    p.s.s. Anyone know if u can actually post challenges here? Probably should have checked that first… :I

  • shavanna

    I CHALLENGE CHARLIE TO DIE HIS HAIR BLUE.

  • http://twitter.com/swissmissviv Viviane Mirafuente

    CHARLIEeeee hahaha you should go ALL OUT 80's! like, shoulder pads and watever hahahaha yeaaa thats a challenge ;)

  • :)

    I challenge you to sew something

  • beckyboo

    lol I wasn’t intending it to sound like that XD it’s just that trisuits are hideous things. Also, wear a swimming hat thingy, we don’t want your hair ruined!

  • Hannah

    I can't juggle. Fact. But after watching this I can safely say (well, not really safely – I may have broken a couple of things in the attempt) that I damn well tried! The phrase 'Lord I'm unfit' is one that I often use as an excuse in PE at school, and it's nice to know you have the same general coolness. :) I love you. Bye.

  • Beckyboo

    I challenge you to dress up as a weeping angel from doctor who!

  • http://twitter.com/MostStrangeOne Silu Tang

    Charlie, I challenge you to read to us with American accent the short story by Mark Twain “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”, which you can find here:

    http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/railton/projects/price/frog.htm

  • roserouge90

    good idea! those who want charlie 2 dress up as a weeping angel please post a comment!!

  • Doofenshmirtz
  • Rebecca Miller

    He already dyed his hair once. If he dyed it again it would be kind of boring and repetitive… Just saying

  • yasso960

    I am jealous of your awesome shirts :(

  • Annie Kar

    It's almost a shame that the first half of the video wasn't done in 3D. I've always wanted to learn how to juggle, and I can do two with one hand but never made it to three with two. Sigh.

  • Sarah

    Let’s think about people which aren’t English-speaking, It’s obvious that they have grammatical problems!

  • rainbowunicornzebra

    me 2 i wanted the one he wore on day 2 but i was 1 day late to order it and i look better in purple is awesome! i also wanted that one! wow im always late but yes i agree im really jealouse of his shirts

  • rainbowunicornzebra

    i want him to dress as a weeping angel!!!!!!

  • rainbowunicornzebra

    I chalenge you to dress up as a weeping angel from dr who please please do it i don't wach dr who but it sound cool so can you PLEASE!!!!!

  • cocktails42

    I challenge you to stay 'coollike' as you get famous. Juggling may be a metaphor for how you deal with your public and private personas.

  • St. Rontium

    Ain't never not done? Made me gag the second I heard that. >.<

  • rainbowunicoenzebra

    i challenge you to speak with an american axcent (i suck at spelling) and do the hole video with and american axcent

  • http://charliemcdonnell.com/juggling/#comments Amie10319

    OMG THAT WOULD BE AWESOME FOR YOU TO DRESS UP AS A WEEPING ANGEL! I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO THAT! YOU SHOULD GO OUT ON THE STREET AND SCARE LITTLE KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Shanna

    I'm so impressed! But I have a challenge for you:
    Can you do an American accent? If so, do an entire video speaking like an American.
    That's all. =)

  • http://elinious.wordpress.com/ Elinious

    Are you going to E3 this year?

  • SARAH

    I REALLY WANT TO SEE IF U CAN DO AN AMERICAN ACCENT!!!!!!! will u pllllllllllleeeeeaaaassseee??!!??!?! that would be funny and cool

  • Lorena

    Another great video!
    I thought of another challenge for you,
    It's quite difficult, but I am sure you can handle it.
    Ready?
    Make a video that is one long palindrome!
    That would be amazing.
    At least in my opinion. (:

    Keep doing what you're doing, we all love it!

  • emilythepheonix

    i challenge you to learn how to say “to be or not to be, that is the question in french…. i am 13 and know jjust how to say it, so if you do take on this challenge and get it wrong, i will know. and online translators don't work.

  • http://fromthepagesofmyheart.blogspot.com Jessica

    You're so funny. I learned to juggle once and I do it every now and then, but I've never been extremely good at it. That's cool that you taught yourself, good for you. :)

  • charlotte

  • Mia

    Please Please PLEASE Can You Say “Hi Mia” In One Of Your Videos It Would Meen The World To Me. You're Awesome! :)
    It Would Mean The World!

    Any Please Please Please Do Charlie!
    I.
    LOVE.
    YOU!

  • Casi (That's Casey With An "I)

    I Second this challenge.

  • Lexy

    I challenge you to see how long you can hold a spoon on your nose.

  • Lexy

    that's a good one! if you add it to my challenge it would be to see how long you can hold a spoon on your nose while speaking in an american accent.

  • :)

    hehe i just saw you on bafta awards !!! :) <3

  • http://jamfozz.com Jamfozz

    I challenge you to draw some japanese manga art :P

  • Lorena

    I know i wrote only two hours ago, but i really want you to see my challenge because, well, it's incredibly difficult and watching you accomplish this would be amazing:

    Please make an entire video consisting of one large palindrome.
    That is no small feat! But I have no doubts that you could do this (all the while making it entertaining to watch)

    I look forward to watching your next challenge!

  • Dalina Tu

    What do you use for your webshow effects i use manycam but it doesnt really seem to work, any advice?

  • elliellielliellie

    saw you on BAFTA's you absolute legend :)
    looking sharper than a ninjas throwing stars in that suit! <3
    and you're taller than i thought! how tall would that be?

    oh, and i'm thinking, now you're in london, hows about a chameleon circuit gig? pretty pleaseeeeee?? :)

  • Robert

    Here it is guys. He look HOT! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9hZ3uo2xXc

  • http://www.twitter.com/chie_face Chie

    Congrats and good job presenting at the BAFTA's – your hair looks redder than it does in your YouTube vids. Definitely made you stand out!

    Only a week to juggle? Maybe next you should try tight-rope walking! Or trapeze artist, that one seems like more fun.

  • Robert

    I was in the hall at the BAFTAs and couldn't believe you were on stage. I so wanted to just stand up there and then and shout “I FOUND CHARLIE!”. But I work in TV so didn't want to make a dick of myself. I tried to find you at the aftershow party but couldn't see you, hence why I don't have a Charlie badge :-( Maybe next year.

  • Saumensch

    Huzzah! I must say, your skills are considerably more impressive than mine, and I've been trying since about age 7. I can ski and play FPS but I can't juggle… Seems odd. :D

  • texas(:

    Impressive. As always(:

  • gabriella

    hi charlie, that juggling funny, but why not try to put your legs behind the neck, or jumping rope with your arms, that would be amazing, greetings

  • http://twitter.com/thatcrazyrobot Angela

    Okay, I just remembered what my original challenge was. And here it is: Charlie, I challenge YOU to create your very own DOCTOR WHO EPISODE. :D Or you could act out your favorite! Whichever you choose will be very entertaining. My sister, cousin, and I all did it and had a lot of fun. :)

  • Bookluver

    Hahahaha AMAZING!!!!!! That is hilarious. Good job juggling. i did like the multiple day thing. its quite nice. I like how you were inside for all of the days except for one. haha i love the videos You better not stop! :-)

  • Hadley

    Amazing. I love you smile. Very cute.
    You have lots of skill.

  • Starrgal

    Haha. I find it very amusing that charlie is wearing the same shirt as his last vid post on may 27th… :)

  • http://twitter.com/Gabazamataz Gabby Raz

    Haha great work Charlie! For learning to juggle AND having the best selling t-shirts of all time on DFTBA. I am looking forward to getting mine. :D

  • me

    i think that charlie is adorable.:]

  • KerBear

    Hello Charlie!!! I have a barely used unicycle that I would be glad to give to you, no charge whatsoever!!! So if you want it, just tell me! I used it for like, 3 months.
    You are great.

  • Midoriko

    Now Charlie. We are not sitting here watching you juggle just because we have nothing better to do. I may have no life, but I could be doing other internet things, like putting captions on cats. But instead I have chosen to watch you learn to juggle. Why? Is it because I seek the meaning of life in youtube? No. Is it because I like Stephen Fry so much that I will watch every single one of your videos in order to hear his ending? …a little. But the real reason I keep coming back to your videos is because they make me smile, they make me laugh, they make me happy. Even when it's just a video of you tossing balls in the air. You make it worth watching because you are naturally likable and entertaining person, and that makes you pretty awesome, don't you think?

    Also it was quite fun to watch your T-shirts change over the course of the video.

  • liesje

    i've tried to juggel a couple times but i really really socked at it, so i beter not trie again.
    I loved your shirt. i wanted it to but i was to late.

  • Shaneelah

    You're fit in a very different way. ;)

  • Calum

    Hey Charlie, do you think you will do any more t-shirts in the future, because I missed this opportunity and I would greatly consider buying one :)

  • liesje

    charlie can you do a random vlog again i like them best
    pleaaaaase do the hug challenge i love to see that.
    if you do it doit next year i'l be in londen then

    Mmm.

  • http://letsponderthat.blogspot.com/ TT-Tardis time

    You were Epic at the BAFTA's You looked good. I think you should think of presenting as a career. You got to meet the cast of the inbetweeners and stacey from gavin and stacey lucky boy!

  • Frida

    Hi there! now I'm gonna sound like a fourteen year old girl, which I'm not. I just found your video on youtube and I just think you are enormously funny and a bit cute. And I also love your accent. Well good luck with everything and please continue to do videos.

    greetings from Sweden

  • XxMango123

    PLESE DONT GO INTO CLOWNING xD

    i think i might try to juggle, but i have before and i failed miserably D:

  • RosscoPico

    Impressive. I've tried to learn to juggle before but I get distracted too easily.
    On a random note, I met Matt Smith!! Amazing!!
    Well done on the BAFTAs by the way.

  • Kjersti

    Hi! I'mm actually a fourteen year old girl, so I'm gonna sound like one to :D
    But i just saw your videos and I think they're quite funny :D And it's SO cool you learnd to juggle in 8 days, I have tried so many tims but never learnd ;)
    Btw – You're WERY cute, and I LOVE your accent <3
    Keep up the good work wth the videos xD

  • Sophieeee xD

    Hello Charlie :D

    Just thought I would say OMG you were on the BAFTAS!!!! I was watching it with my mum and I saw you and Alex Day (nerimon) and I was screaming and pointing at the TV. She now consequently thinks I'm slightly insane so thanks for that :L also thought I would ask, when I saw you on the BAFTAS I actually pointed at the TV and shouted “I FOUND YOU!!!” Does this mean I get to be a proud owner of an 'I found Charlie' badge? I may even post a video of me on YouTube to prove this because I'm watching the BAFTAS on iPlayer as we speak :D

    Keep up the good work, dude. 8D

  • Mia

    Wait…I thought juggling was impossible (for me maybe). Please to a video about your wall. Watched you on BAFTA's. My favourite show out of those was Glee but… You look good in glasses :)

  • Lorena

    3rd comment in two days-this can not be healthy.
    My comment will remain the same:
    I challenge you do make a video consisting of an entire palindrome.
    Im sure you know what that is, but so I can hopefully get other people to agree with me on this
    I will explain.

    In doing this, you would have to say complete sentences that, when said backward,
    Are the same as they are said forward.
    I tried this yesterday and failed miserably,
    But I have no doubt you could do this with flying colors.

    Oh and by the way, you looked great on the BAFTA's
    (:

    Charlie, I challenge you to read to us with American accent the short story by Mark Twain “The Celebrate…

    Hey
    Okay number 1) I know you wanted questions for your vidcom and I managed to think of three amazing ones:
    Do you think music has gone downhill and turned more synthetic? Or do you think it has the same message of expressing them self (deep I know!)
    Do you prefer British or American cinema? Why?
    The Last one which I think maybe the best
    Would you rather be James Bond or a ninja??
    Also for a Challenge Charlie I think you should do that kicking thing (descriptive,but it's the bean bag one, have no idea what it's called but yeah…)
    x:)

  • Harvey16

    Hello Charlie… why not shave your armpits as a challenge… (LOL)

  • Croost:)

    Charlie, this is pretty good:) i challenge you to ermm make a song on something like an online dj website thing if you get me?

  • The girl??

    Hi Charlie (: I'm a girl from Norway who loves to watch your films xD
    I'm sorry, my english is not so very good :P They teach us american-English, and not british- english so… :P
    But I really like what you are doing :3. You are very funny ^^.
    Kisses from me: Jenta fra Norge (The girl from Norway)

    Btw: I'v got a Challenge :3. Learn yourself 10 norwegian words ;*

    Me and my friends think that your show is great! I have a lot of fun with them.
    Love,
    Anto

  • Danielle

    So I posted a challenge yesterday. But, see, I've had time to think it over. You said gesticulation! Which is awesome! People need to use longer words. So, instead of posting a video with you using really long words no one knows, post a video of you singing a SONG with really long words nobody knows. You could tweet asking people for cool long words. And maybe stick a palindrome into your LONG WORD SONG, cuz this person keeps commenting about it (Lorena), and since palindrome is a long word most people probably don't know, what the hey, just throw that in too! :D

    Or you could, you know, always hug a grizzly bear. But if you decide to do that please don't die, because I have a feeling I would be hunted down by very angry Charlie-Fans…

    Oh yeah, and you totally got mentioned on the WhatTheBuckShow today.

    Hugs from America!!!

  • PurpleHanna

    Hey ho! (Trinkt aus Piraten, jo ho! :D that's right!)
    I'd feel strange writing a really long message because usually the younger ones do.
    haha hope you're not creeped out by your fans! I mean seriously… o.O still enjoy our love torwards you, a person we barely know ;)
    Nice thing with the juggling :)
    I'm glad not being the only unfit person here haha but i don't want to be unfit and unable to juggle, that would be lame :D so your challenge which is completed changed in a challenge for me!
    greetings from germany, continue being the great guy your fans claim to know you as ;)

  • ;)

    Lol Purple Hanna. I love how u said writing long messages was odd and then u wrote a long message… :D

  • Agi

    I already posted on your youtube but i think this would be the coolest challenge… Paint ur entire body in glow paint and go under a black light!.. anyways awesome videooooo

  • Grace Face

    THATS A GOOD ONE!! Do it Charlie!

    Oh and I also noticed on the back of your wall with all your amazing drawings/random stuff that there's this little picture of Alex Day with hearts all around it and Love Me Alex at the top. Um, so… does this mean anything? Please explain because I hate it when I can't find the answer!

  • Claire

    Awesome. It's interesting to see that people all over the world watch Charlie's videos. That's great that you are learning english. Also, good challenge!
    P.S. There isn't any real difference between american english and british english besides a few words.

    again, please please please
    make a video only by using a palindrome.
    it would definitely be a challenge and i think
    you'd have fun trying to accomplish this.
    at least that is what im going with,
    hopefully it convinces you to do it.
    (:

    it was so cool seeing you on the BAFTA's.
    your videos are what make my day!

  • Leaseoutmybrain

    Now that you have learned the awesome art of regular juggling now you should learn contact juggling! Which is significantly harder and way more fun lol.
    Add me on face book! >.>

  • Leaseoutmybrain

    Which I forgot to add…
    Katherine Hutto

  • Merivel

    Have you seen that people are doing Mountain Unicycling (MUni, for short)? If the standard unicycle doesn't have enough potential for seriously maiming yourself, give it a try careening down a mountain path strewn with tree roots and boulders! Part of me is impressed that people can even manage this but then another part of me thinks these people are missing some essential self-preservation brain cells.

    Anyway, just wanted to say that I think you are awesome! You are crazy talented and your lyrics and vids make it clear that while you are funny and sometimes self-deprecating, you've also got a good head and a good heart. Tell your mum she has done a wonderful job raising you!

    Love ya! (In a totally husband-approved kind of way!)

  • youtube.com/tntimtation

    american accent =P…dude charlie you've made me want to try so much stuff…even fish custard =X…funny the power of the internet. But because of you I have discovered Dr. Who…rhyming unintentional…and for that my deepest gratitude =)

  • galacticdraco

    My thoughts are not too clear after watching the balls juggled. Dizzy… Can't paragraph…
    * Unicycle? I think a mini tricycle would be funnier. Lol..
    ** Speaking of clown, how 'bout you paint yourself a different clown face each day for one week?
    *** I like how your 2 T-shirts are featured in the same video…
    **** I also like how your sister, on some days, would dance with you on camera while on some other day, she'd just sit, like she doesn't care about your videos.
    ***** Say, are you still in contact with Professor Charlie McDonnell of the McCoollike Important Institution? I genuinely miss him.
    As always, looking forward to the next video. Good day… ^_^

  • Harman22

    i challenge you to dress like a girl for a day. its pretty funny my brother did it once.

  • Nicola

    you know charlie, you keep referring to the fact that you don't get a lot of exercise, but perhaps you should look at it like this (having seen you in your new sons of admirals music video) I note that you already have the commonly sought after V shape (i.e. Shoulders broader than hips). The outcome being you are actually closer to the “healthy” shape than you think you are, something in your genes has made you generally more likely to be strong than the average youtuber. Somebody with narrow shoulders can't just make them broader, no matter how strong they get. You have a natural advantage, so why not use it :)

  • Morgan

    “I have been challenged by this person to teach myself how to do 'the juggle'. I ain't never not done juggling before.”

    Okay, I may have misheard you, but if you really did say that, then you are even more adorable than I thought. XD

  • Shopgirl152ny

    I challenge you to learn how to ride a unicycle. It will complete the trilogy of clowning techniques.

  • Lalasa

    I challenge you to play a game of football/soccer/whatever you feel like calling it in high heels.
    And the heels need to be at least 3 in/7.5 cm tall. You get bonus points for extra height, platforms, and how pretty they are.

  • andrew.

    i challenge you to try out the game: the impossible quiz, like read out the questions then say your answers. it'll be pretty awesome! also, nice job juggling, i definitely cant do it.

  • Lily

    *First comment i ever post.. don't know why i haven't done this before though*
    I'm kinda impressed on how fast you've learned to juggle.
    Maybe it's because i never knew how to manage it.. However since i've watched your video i thought that i should try again BUT i completely failed xD
    I may have done a good *irony?* video : people would have seen that i can be worse at juggling after one/two weeks of practise, than at the beginning hahaha
    *i guess i'm too clumsy for that kind of stuff*
    Ohh i'll be in the UK for a few days during the summer, hopefully i could see you somehow and scream that I FOUND YOU :D
    *Don't worry, i'm not one of the girls who'd chase you or something even if you're a cutie*
    Anyways, all i got to say is THANK YOU for your videos, they are very inspiring :)

    HUUUGS,

    :D

  • Puregold724

    Many years ago I also challenged myself to learn how to juggle. I took foreverrr…many days of chasing juggling balls around my living room, but eventually I got really good at it, and tried learning other ways to juggle. I even bought some juggling clubs and stuff. It was a pain to learn, but enjoyable, and also some of my only exercise haha. You say it's probably not a good use of your time, but I can say I've never regretted learning it at all…it's an awesome skill to show off haha, and it's come in handy in the randomest situations, you'd be surprised x). Plus I'm like the least hand-eye coordinated person ever and such a klutz, so if I could learn it, I'm sure anyone can, and in much less time haha, so I hope you've inspired lots of people to learn with this video. That said, congratulations on learning how to juggle!! I mayy even post a video of me juggling as a video response…since you insisted lol :P.

    ALSO, I have a challenge!! Get your socks on, and find a smooth hard wood floor…I would love to see you learn to do the MOONWALK! Like Michael Jackson style haha. It's not too hard, but it takes a bunch of practice to do it well. There are some good instructional videos on Youtube…they helped me a lot when I decided to learn haha. And I'm a horrible and inexperienced dancer so that really has nothing to do with it xD. Good luck, I hope you'll accept!!

  • lizzyp

    I agree with many people, I think a great challenge would be for you to learn a couple of accents. It would be pretty damn funny.

    O.o Although I'm afraid of clowns (I KNOW it sounds cheap, but really – I am!), I think what you managed to learn is truly amazing! Maybe I should start collecting useless abilities – it could make me interesting, too! Oh, well. Probably it will only make me more of a freak.
    More of a freak than someone sitting in front of their computer watching a geeky boy learn how to juggle. Riiiight. ;-P

  • Amanda Drew

    I really agree! Clowns are creeeeepy! Ö d;

  • Bluemintaz

    Hey Charlie I have a question for YOU!! So I was looking at some older videos of your's and I remembered that “Challenge Charlie” was suppose to only be a series of 25. I don't think you've made 25 challenges yet, but I think you are close. Are you going to stop doing challenges once you reach 25? I hope you do not because I very much enjoy them and I'm sure the rest of your audience does too.

  • Karterminton

    heyyy…. ha i can go juggling for ages unless sum1 annoys while i do… ( yes three balls) :P i tried four :P didnt work out very well though….. btw your an amazing singer :P

    Clowning is my hobby!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can come use my unicycle if you want.  And you can borrow some balloons.  And you can juggle balloons animals while riding on a unicycle.  I must admit, though, juggling is my weakness.  Despite my many attempts, I’m horrid at it.  I’m practicing, though, I’m practicing….

    P.S. Charlie, you’re awesome.

    i gotta show you my fire juggling skills :)
