Superhero Costume!

August 23, 2010

Usually, when I can’t think of a good video idea of my own, I call upon Challenge Charlie. It’s almost like a punishment for me, what’s that? Can’t come up with anything good to make this week? Well then, drink some ketchup, feel sick, show that discomfort to the world, and think about what you’ve done. It’s been nearly two months since my last challenge video, so I’ve been on a roll as far as coming up with video ideas is concerned, but this week but I finally reached my creative wall. And now, as punishment for me, and hopefully for your enjoyment, it’s time to watch me put on a pair of purple tights and feel like a fool.

Big thanks go to my Mum for helping me out with this video, I woke up on the day of needing to go and buy all of the superhero gear, and ended up on the phone to her, pleading, telling that I had no idea what shops to go to. Where the hell do you buy assorted felts, after all? But Mum came to the rescue, finding everything that I needed and popping it in a parcel which arrived at my flat the next day. Mum’s always good at helping me out with videos (a lot of the stuff you’ll see me do was either an idea born in her head originally, or something that she’s helped re-work with me) and I don’t thank her enough for it. Do me a favour if you will: Head on over to her YouTube channel and leave her a comment saying thanks :)

Also! In regards to my last video, I want to say a massive thank you to anyone that posted their own “Dear Future [insert name here]” video! I’ve had a lot of fun looking through all of the responses to it. Just a note, if you’re in the video responding mood, may I recommend making your own superhero costume? You might have more fun wearing it than I had wearing my own, and if you don’t, it’d be a lot of fun to see someone else feeling like an idiot for a change.

  • Cara

    Still was hoping you’d show me how to make a fez of my own :(

  • Sam

    My older sister had a superhero themed birthday party, she was “Candy girl” or something similar. Her and her friends costumes > yours! :P

    Seriously, she went overboard with the decorations too.

    What’s with all the random superhero stuff recently? It’s everywhere!

  • Emily

    YAY!!!!!! hee hee :) I think I like you best when you’re making an idiot out of yourself on Challenge Charlie :)

  • Hannah G.

    I vote you send me that kick butt shirt, and I wear it to school and look like a dork. :D
    Please?

  • Maddi :)

    the ” C ” is for the cookie , right ? ^-^

  • robyn

    lols brill outfit lovin the tights there so cool

  • Paloma

    Breast patches!!!! Sorry, I really had to xD
    Your mom sounds awesome, by the way :D

  • http://youtube.com/moyisawesome moyisawesome

    I would love to make a superhero costume and walk to my school with it on to get my GCSEs, but it’s tomorrow! D: DAAAAAAMN.

  • Amy

    Don’t worry, Charlie..I think you looked very dashing in your breast pouches;) x

  • Gemma

    I’m off to make myself a superhero costume to show the world how stupid I am and to make Charlie not feel so alone in his idiocy BYE.

  • laura r

    obviously you have an excellent Mum! it’s great that she encourages your creativity. that hasn’t been the case for some of my friends, y’know?

  • Meg

    Never stop doing Challenge Charlie. I made a superhero costume for my sister’s party a few years ago. Problem was, I didn’t do any measurements so the whole thing was big and small in different places. Massive fail.

  • Jem

    Wow you must have just posted this there’s only 2 other comments! I feel like I’m in a special small privedlidged group of VIP preview people now :)

  • Annie

    Wow… That’s a brilliant idea! =D
    Haha, if only my biology lessons could consist of making superhero cotumes involving cloning!
    Keep up the good work~

  • dualdestiny

    Super Cute and funny. I agree that you would most likely be multiple man. Any idea on making a contest for viewers based on making another costume for you?

    The colors all went very nicely together, green, purple, red; you know, the effeminate stuff. Thanks again Charlie.

    PS Ending with the x4 repeat—funny.

  • Yael

    Loved the breast patches!

  • Lily Saffron

    Thank you Charlie’s Mom! :) and Yayy, great video … again P:
    And the “Pachh … CHALLENGE CHARLIE” Was awesome :D Lol … it made me jump hahah lol x x

  • http://dailybooth.com/DaffyDuck Daffy Y

    lol Charlie I think this video is one of the best you’ve madeXDDD
    At least it is one of my favorites now :D
    Actually, I think that without seeing the tights.. the costume is quite nice, I think.

    BTW, wanted to let you know that you have many fans in Israel :D I guess you didn’t knew that! :D

  • Amandaluvsweird

    ……………… I honestly dont know whot to say to that :L great fun to watch tho :D still cant get over the tights and breast patches :L

  • http://twitter.com/montamelody montha

    heey charlie. This challenge was nice. Want a new one? I challenge you to make 50 pictures with unknow people on the street. in one hour. can you ? kisses and hugs from your biggest fan from Latvia!

  • http://www.twitter.com/Stanage Tyler S.

    Best part: explaining the meiotic cell division as your emblem. Well done.

  • Lily Saffron

    OH OHHH!!!
    I thought of this challenge whilst i was eating dinner :) Lol, anyway –
    I challenge you to reenact your favourite Super Mario level! :D
    (With you as Mario or Luigi … whichever one’s your favorite :])
    x x x

  • Happytobeme

    I don’t know where to go to challenge you….but if you could try and prank call 15 different people in about four minutes, that would be so coolll!!!! hahahah thank you again….oh and i have never challenged Charlie before so hopefully you read this

  • username1117

    This reminds me so much of quail man, especially the underwear on the outside!

    Does anyone else think this new comment system is annoying? We can’t even reply to each other!

  • Red

    I love the Challenge Charlie videos! They are really funny! Of course, all of your videos are funny, but when you’re challenged, it’s always something completely insane. Hope you make them more often, but I love your own crazy videos really much as well :D This is wierd. I am arguing with myself…

  • http://twitter.com/montamelody montha

    please tell me if you accept my chanllenge to you or not. :)

  • Sibba

    When you showed us the drawing I thought the ‘C’s looked like badly drawn nipples. Nipples on your brest patches~

    Been missing your videos! <3

  • TheOneAndOnlyMK

    Superheroes with weird superpowers ftw!

    Hey, I got a challenge for you:

    Live one week without using your right hand.

    btw you’re looking better, when you have your hair a bit out of your face. Like you have after you’ve finished making your mask.

  • Miha A.

    You just found me an awsome shirt design!

  • Lindsay B.

    oh Charlie… I get so excited when I see a new video of yours in my subscriptions on Youtube… this one was so funny! My friend and I watched it like 5 times haha. :)

  • http://twitter.com/BlindSnowstorm Bailey

    I was laughing so hard at you. Thank you for making my Monday a little less boring.

    You know, you’ve just made yourself another opportunity to make some more graphic design t-shirts. :) I wouldn’t mind a Cloning Charlie tee, m’self.

    Though might I suggest next time that, if you want tights that aren’t opaque, then you might want to aim instead for leggings. They’re much thicker, and they’ll feel almost exactly like skinny jeans. Except better.

    I think that you should make a sidekick costume for Alex on his return. He could be…

    Neriman! :P *shot*

  • brookiemccookie

    This video is a lot more like the ones you did at the begining of the year :) I like it better! It seems like the last few videos you’ve made are of a more “grown-up-charlie” and this brings back the “ALMOST-grown-up” Charlie. And to be clear (being an almost-grown-up myself) it’s really jokes to see another almost-grown-up trying to find their purpose in life and pretty much just going through what we all go through.
    btw, almost-grown-up = high school graduate – early twenties

  • Emily Paris

    Charlie to the rescue!!!!
    you need a theme song…

  • kelly

    Haha, you are amazing.
    Tights and breast patches-WOW.

  • Eli

    you really look like an idiot , but you look good as well ! xx
    i think too that you need a theme song , hahaha :D

  • Brianna

    Oh Charlie, you are hilarious. I know you feel like a fool, and yes, you like a fool, but just so you know, nerd girls all over the place (And I will shamelessly admit that includes myself) are just going mad over the amount of adorable this video contains. You never fail to entertain me with your videos. Honestly. You’re awesome. :)

  • Joanna

    Haha, that so just made my day ;) I might just have a go at making my own :Dx

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/sparklingcider302 Lisa

    I was really hoping to see a full body shot so we could all see what the entire ensemble looked like. Perhaps post a picture to the blog?

  • V_Simberly

    Now you’ve admitted that the tights feel nice will you take the “not dressing up in drag” bit off the Challenge Charlie board thing? XD

  • Delia

    omg!
    I love it! I think you’re brilliant! keep on the good work! :D
    I was just watching your fiveawsomeguys video’s when I saw your tweet :D
    you make my day!! (L)
    lots of <3
    (sorry if my english is not correct, I am from the Netherlands …)
    ;) love you so much!!!

  • Nicolette

    Hahahahaha that was hilarious! But as Edna says, “NO CAPES.”

  • arcturus87

    charlie u r an idiot
    a very lovely idiot….

  • silja

    yeah..okay, i just had to do that superhero thing to, so made a costume.. yes i did feel like an idiot, but it was fun :D so thanks for being awsome! i mean it :)

  • nicole

    man. I was feeling really nerdy today and then i saw this. Thanks for making me feel a whole lot better! lol Charlies your awesome!

  • Ivy Meloro

    hahahahaha awe

  • Sasha

    You are a symbol of nerdy awesomeness everywhere. :)

  • Åsne

    I was sure the last “hidden bit” of the video would be of you running across the screen in a superhero like way, but no… breast patches :D HAHA, bloody brilliant!!

  • Simone

    Even though you felt stupid, you looked nice – you’d make a good superhero .. Or master at editing videos ;D
    Really brilliant and fun – great with a challenge, they’re quite missed, when there’s a long time between them.
    Truly awesome :)

  • Villy

    This video absolutely made my day (or what’s left of it now anyway). Love your enthusiasm for doing these challanges. Keep being cool Charlie! :))

    Now it would be awesome if Alex dresses up as your sidekick :D

  • maria

    Man you should make a “Cloning Charlie” T-SHIRT! I’d soooooo buy one :D

  • Lars “Raschii” Gulbrandsen

    YAY! I just love when you do the Challenge Charlie!
    If it’s possible you have to make more than 25!

    Greetings from Norway!

  • http://alyson@del-castillo.net Alyson

    Hahaha! Halloween must be easy for you with a whole drawer full of dressing-up clothes. Lol hahalarity! (puns…) Preen is the best color combo too! I’m all for designing a Charlie superhero costume as dualdestiny suggested. Oh! BTWs love the Captain Hammer tee!! =p”

  • http://alyson@del-castillo.net Alyson

    Ah! The times are off on these comment things…

  • Anna

    Great video. While you felt like an idiot, there are others out there who were entertained. Good job. You also gave me an idea for a Halloween costume. Thanks!! :]

  • http://www.veronicakai.com Veronica

    I guess it took really guts to be Superman, I wonder if his tights were see-through at one point.

  • Maira

    you’re looking ridiculous in this costume, your mask makes you look like an avatar, you,re probably looking horrible in this purple tights, but I like you!

  • http://harris-book.blogspot.com/ Ornela

    x’DD hilarious…

  • Olivia

    i enjoyed this a lot xD
    and i think you should re-dye your head.. it’s fading :P
    i have an idea for a video response, but i can’t make it for a while I:
    rawrrr xD awesome video(:

  • http://www.agitatetheatmosphere.blogspot.com hannah

    The Captain Hammer t-shirt adds a whole new level of awesome to this. I saw the CC logo and thought “Dude that looks like a cell in anaphase”…then again, I once dressed up as Captain Dork for a superheroes party.

  • Hanna

    you are so awesome! i think you’re really attractive and since your british it makes you 1000x better. i love the “breast patches” haha. ~Hanna

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/sparklingcider302 Lisa

    Dang, I was really hoping to see a full body shot…

    Post a pic to the blog perhaps?

  • Megan (firstmaterouge)

    Wow, I loved this, and your purple tights are awesome. If I get bored I might make myself a super hero costume and post it as a video response :D You are brill! Keep on making videos, they always cheer up my day and you are really funny.

  • mary

    The cytokinesis thing was really cool!!!

  • Cara (different to below)

    I thought your super hero was melodica man?! X

  • Jemima

    I have a costume about maths! its really good but it must be the nerdiest costume ever.
    I love your one, and the breast patches are very clever in the science way…ha! xxxx i think you’re great, too

  • http://www.facebook.com/niamhh.xo NiamhDownes

    chaaaarlie!!
    i love you & your videos
    How can you regret dying your hair red?
    It’s cool (:
    My challenge:
    Host your own doctor who mastermind and win. :D
    xxxxxx

  • cocktails42

    I take it that Cloning Charlie has the following super powers:

    (1) Flying (hence the cape);

    (2) Running at superhuman speeds (hence the running shoes) –used mainly for the take-off and landing stages of his flights, or while exercising tactical retreats;

    (3) Appearing in 2 places at once (hence the name)–while trying to avoid flight collisions: and

    (4) Seeing through even the most badly cut mask eyeholes.

    Conversely, this superhero’s biggest weaknesses include:

    (1) Cutting out mask eyeholes;

    (2) Shopping for superhero costume materials;

    (3) Winning fashion awards; and

    (4) Showing off his masculinity (despite the briefs).

  • http://herestothegoldendays.blogspot.com Jennifer

    I love you, you are hilarious and adorable. Be my best friend?

  • Tian :D

    So many of these comments people have posted are so long 0.o
    I’ll keep mine short and simple, HAY CHARLIEEE :B
    And yes I should have read the post you made first.
    And yes i know, this comment has turned moderatly long.
    Thank you for your time and patience.

    :D

  • Lizzy

    Ahhhh ahaha :)
    At first I thought you said “Clothing Charlie” and I was so confused….
    but I LOOOVE the actual super hero…Cloning Charlie… I actually exclaimed…something stupid I’m sure…at the idea of the cell! That was a smart move! It made nice “breast patches”.

  • Paty

    OMG Charlie! I love the costume! I don’t care what you say about looking stupid! Save that costume for halloween and I will dress up as Mermaid Paty!!! (Yea I know it has no consonace but I bet you can’t find a better one) We will rule October 31st!!! I was really hoping for a full body shot of you jumping into that stereotypical superhero pose where you have your hands into fists and on your waist with your cape blowing behind you. That would’ve been EPIC!!!

  • Rhema

    Hahahaha! Oh my god, I just laughed SO HARD! Your videos are so frickin’ great, Charlie! This was amazing! I mean, you really inspire me to do things I wouldn’t normally do! I love how you’re like “The tights feel quite nice actually…” That made me laugh SO HARD! Thank you for this! I think I will do a video response perhaps…

  • ava love. cloning Charlie

    I think I know what the next Coollike Tshirt will look like :)

  • Emily

    Ohhh Charlie, this made me laugh out loud. And i’m jealous of those purple tights. I want some.

  • Jon

    OMG, that is an awesome costume. I think that you’re being way to hard on yourself. You’re in your room for goodness sake, not flaunting down the streets of London, be proud of your work :P Great idea though for your own superhero!

  • Eimilee

    At least you have the colors of the Joker on :D I was hoping for a better super hero name though, but I can’t come up with anything except “AYA” (Awesome yet average)…which is much worse. You look good though. Oddly enough, I too have a cape. Sadly, I am no super hero, just weird.

  • Aubrey

    I have but one question: who is Cloning Charlie’s arch-nemesis???

  • Emma

    oh charlie, you make me laugh everytime.
    Your superhero costume making skills are probably better than mine, which isnt saying much.
    sorry hahaha
    anyways, nice captain hammer t-shirt :)

  • http://lalalala Flori

    hehe this make me feel soooo much better!!!
    thank you ^^ I was having such an awful day

    Someone’s shame can be someone else’s treasure =D

  • Brittney

    I genuinely love your superhero costume!!! I think I may have a new Idea for Halloween! :D thank you charlie <3

  • Hadley

    Aww. This made me fall even more in love with you.

  • http://www.youtube.com/amiliacecilia Amy

    I’m commenting on your blog because I can! I just noticed that you’re both a super hero and a super villain in this video. Captain Hammer! Ah i just amaze myself with my amazingness.

  • Lu

    your superhero-costume is a kind of ———> “Mika-We Are Young” ! don’ t u think? Greetings from Sicily -Italy-

  • http://twitter.com/BlindSnowstorm Bailey

    Oh, side note–didn’t you learn anything from Syndrome (and Stratogale, and Thunderhead, and Metaman, and Splashdown, and Dynaguy) and Edna? NO CAPES!

  • MeganMcDonnel

    this video made me fall even more in love with you! you look very hot in that superhero costume! you are very, very cool like!

  • Sarah Louise

    Purple tights suit you well I beleive ;) great video once again. You are an especially awesome nerdfighter. :)

  • http://youtube.com/aerisundeadxoryoutube.com/sweetboxkitty Meghan

    Charlie, this is in regards to what you said about making the “dear future_” video.
    I made one and I had a lot of fun filming it,I loved talking about all my future goals, and it was so weird to think about things that far off.

    Thanks for the idea ^_^

    <3

    Meghan.

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

    rofl! I’m sorry, when I saw the emblem, all I could think of was (as you said later) breast patches…but I loved the whole idea with the cell dividing/cloning and everything. I by my logic, you are even more awesome now for dressing that way and accepting the weirdness!…my logic has it’s flaws but just don’t question it! >.> also, you’re mom is such a sweetheart.

  • mua

    you really have a great mom : )
    and you are the cutest idiot i’ve ever seen, ha ha!
    it’s definitely a complement.
    love you!!

  • Mckinlie

    At least you know what your next video will be. . . 100 episodes!!!! Epic and exiting!!

  • Yisha

    That was awesome and inspiring! I’m totally going to be Cloning Charlie for Halloween!

    I challenge you to do random vacation to a random place! seriously find a map throw a dart and go there!

  • Amy M.

    So this is what you do when you’re home alone Charlie? Nice.

  • ross

    hi I’m from Venezuela and I speak Spanish! I like your videos but sometimes I find it hard to understand! you could subtitled in Spanish! Please I would appreciate it very much :D

  • EllenMelon

    haha. very entertaining. the “challenge charlie” videos are my favorites!

  • Bri

    I wish your sister had a channel! She’s adorable!

    One a second note, You can use cylindrical household objects and a sharpie to make perfect circles when cutting felt or other fabrics. Just make sure to draw on the back of the fabric and always cut inside the pen line!*

    *The more you know :)

  • Jack

    YouTube says this is your 99th video… Any big plans for a special, super-humungous, extravaganza of a 100th video? No pressure or anything. ;-)

  • Tayla

    well.. in australia you go to… SPOTLIGHT!!

  • Erin

    HEY great video am new to the whole charlie is so cool like thing

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/Jordynjitters Jordyn

    I’ve been busy prepping for university the past few days, but I’m making a response to “Dear Future Charlie” tomorrow. I very much liked the idea, so I’m going to make my own. :] Not quite sure I’ll make my own super hero costume…though, I am taking a Theatre Costuming class for school…

  • http://www.youtube.com/amiliacecilia Amy

    And I just realized I’m an idiot because I guess captain hammer is technically the hero… Yeah I still amaze myself with my amazingness.

  • Noel

    OK that ridiculous Fred/Lucas Cruikshank got a movie (direct to video but still), so there should be a Cloning Charlie movie & comic book deal headed your way right?
    Also there should be a nice roll in an upcoming Pixar flick….no wait the Cloning Charlie movie will BE the next Pixar flick, there we go.

  • evie

    Haha, awesome! I actually did this once, me and my best friend and some girls we were traveling with walked into this kitschy bar in Cusco (Peru) and the owner tells us he’s having a fancy dress super hero party that night and we should come. So we go chasing down costume shops but find nothing, in desperation we hunt down some assorted plastic sheets, glitter and paper in a craft store and fashion masks, fake guns, capes and somewhat see through plastic skirts from these things. Walking to the party we were assaulted by a storm of 10-year old boys trying to feel us up. Also, dancing in a plastic skirt… not something I recommend.

  • chandni

    haha
    ok
    challenge accepted.
    i shall become a superhero.
    :)
    im wayyy more excited than i should be

  • Romanadvoratrelundar

    Great costume! haha.
    Although, you probably could have put the second C in the little asexual cloning cell thingy flipped, so that it mirrored the first one… perhaps.

  • Jen

    Just for you, I will dress up in my own superhero costume for Halloween. ^.^
    Thank you for starting my day with a laugh!
    Okay, purple tights… My best friend liked this guy and one day it was “superhero dress up day” at school (yes, my school IS the dorkiest school in the US =]) and he was wearing PURPLE TIGHTS! So that was our joke for a whole year. =) Thank you for starting my day with purple tights as well, because now I will be giggling all day imagining you in purple tights whenever I see said friend. =)
    Lots of love,
    ~Jen

  • shineekiwi

    what does the thing make him cute day by day ? there is no exit from Charlie

  • Ingvild

    Awesome job, Charlie. You may feel like a fool, but trust me you… No, wait. You sorta look like a fool… Sorry… But a cute fool! :) I’m thinking I might actually make a video like this one, but we’ll see. I’m not so comfortable with humiliating my self in front of the whole world yet…

  • Lisbeth

    Haha! I love your superhero custume :-D You did a very good job making it! I bet you had a lot of fun taking on and off that tights.

  • Nothin2chere

    First time I saw a Charlie video, unusual. My fRiem

    Hey Charlie,

    For my Birthday this year I am having a Superheroes and Supervillains themed party.
    I challenge you to attend wearing your Cloning Charlie costume!

    Email me if you accept this challenge!

  • Webbff

    Breast patches! lololololol….. Nice superhero costume, though!

  • solene

    I think that this is the funniest video youve made in a while!!! That was just HILARIOUS Charlie! :D Good job on this, loved it

  • judy

    Have you thought about doing a Free Rice video. It is such a good cause. Maybe you and Alex– hope you didn’t do one and I missed it. I donated 2020 today.

  • MissFenderr

    CHARLIE! I’m coming to Europe in about a month (i’m from Canada) and I would love to “find you” :) i’m going to assume you’re from England and that’s where i’m flying into. whereabouts would you say i should visit so as to maybe run into you and receive a pin? :)

  • michelle (:

    you are absolutly amazing. i could watch you all day.
    infact; i have. (:
    love, michelle! (:

  • http://everyoneelseisupstairs.tumblr.com Dee W. Hale

    Charlie, did you learn nothing from Edna Mode?! NO CAPES, or else it can get snagged on a misil fin, or caught in a jet turbine, or snagged on takeoff, or sucked into a vortex. No capes!

  • Molly

    Hey Charlie,
    You thanked people for posting Dear Future… videos and recommended making a superhero costume of your own. Would it be a bit weird if someone tried a good amount of your challenges and posted them? I’ve been trying to find a way to a)occupy my time and b) (okay i’m already sick of lettering my list) finding a way to get ideas in the meantime while none of my friends want to help me. I really love YouTube and want to make my own videos, but it’s been tough in terms of ideas time and confidence. I thought I’d officially ask if I could copy some of your challenges. Just for fun too.

  • Me, myself and I.

    Late response.. but > this video was awesome!

  • Coie Laura

    ohhhh my gosh… best ending. just..ever.
    breast patches
    breast patches
    breast patches
    breast patches

  • Hannah

    Charlie!!!! I FOUND YOU!
    And as for the part about you having to be living your boring life, I think this would wholely suffice, wouldn’t it?

    Do I get a badge?

  • http://www.meagansalley.blogspot.com Meagan

    That costume look absolutely dashing on you, Charlie. ;D

  • Alyssa

    It made me all warm and fuzzy inside when I saw your Captain Hammer T-Shirt. Dr. Horrible will live in my heart forever. :)

  • Grace M. Wilson

    Really enjoyed video! By the way, any fabric store around you will have felts. I would post a video, but I want to keep my dignity.

  • Sam

    Charlie, since you are a pixar fanboy, I know you must have seen the incredibles, but apparently you did not heed their advice about capes : )
    The C C could also stand for Challenge Charlie. Challenge Charlie Man? Or something?
    I am curious about the clones, do they absorb back into you like multiple man? Do they each have their own personalities? Do they get progressively more stupid the more you make? When you are done with them do you throw them in the alligator pit? What becomes of your clones?

  • Johanna

    haha, you look ridiculous :) but that’s okay cause everyone should look ridiculous every once in a while. i think you should wear it for halloween, it would be a great costume :)

  • Julia

    Charlie, I don’t know how you do it, but each and every one of your videos gives me a huge smile from start to finish. Just…you’re awesome.

  • Anonymus

    dear charlie
    please delete after you read this {my friend dared me to write this }
    My best friend is in love with you and if she ever contacts you please call the police immediatly and I mean asap
    :D

  • Iida

    I probably enjoy bit too much seeing you being stupid and looking like an idiot! Ah, love challenge Charlie. <3 :D

  • Xanthe

    CHARLIE :)
    so many people must be obsessed with you,
    i wouldnt call myself obsessed, but i just love your personality to a very high extent.
    was actaully wanting to fly to England and hunt you down and make you fall in love with me :) haha, but though that was utterly impossible, and creepish like.
    well i will continue to watch you!

    You are just so cute when you’re being stupid! <3
    Sorry about that but it's kinda true… Anyways, thank you for this video – SO amusing! :D You are a very creative person with a lovely helpful mum and we (internet people) have a lot to thank for. Keep it up!
    Also… what are you doing with your clones? I think Weezy's alligator is feeling hungry so I thought maybe you could somehow send them to him if you don't, like, need them anymore, you know… the poor animal needs food and Weezy hasn't cloned much lately.
    Lots of love from just another fangirl

    Oh, and I vote yes on a Cloning Charlie T-shirt!

  • Abigail Lewis

    Hello from Wales!- Don’t worry, I’m not a chav -_-

    Thank you Charlie (and Charlie’s mum) for another awsome vlog…you are THE man!!

    Oh and thank you for brightening up me and my best friend’s boring teenage lives whenever you upload a video as we phone up eachother in heaps of giggles (even though I only live two doors up from her) :P

    Why!… Because we’re strange :D

    Have a good life!

    Love, Abigail xx (Can’t wait for your next vlog)

  • Micaela

    Hi charlie! What is your dream? / Micaela

  • Annabel

    Hi Charlie, I was wondering where you got the fabric to make the cape from? I think its really cool. But I wouldn’t go flying anywhere or you could get your cape suck on something. I know I probably sound like a superhero nerd but I kinda want to make a superhero costume of my own. My super power would probably have something to do with controlling air or wind, like an airbender.

  • KAYIN

    your mum is really beautiful :)

  • gayboy

    i’m gay and thinkk your really fit

    i where tights all the time too

  • http://muzikjunkie.tumblr.com Laura Lerebours

    Well, I may be a bit crazy, but I want a “Cloning Charlie” shirt.. >.>

  • Kate

    Awww…and you seemed so up for it at the start and then you realised how silly you look =[
    x

  • Els

    Actually, I think u’re crazy, but in a good way then, one thing we have in common!!
    When the whole costume comes together it was really funny, you always make me laugh!

    Thank you! (or like we say it in Belgium) Danku!

    bye

    i challenge charlie to do a ten minute video about JEDWARD(: yes that right JOHN & EDWARD GRIMES :) the twins from lucan ireland :D ps your videos are wicked!

  • http://www.thechrisd.com TheChrisD

    For some odd reason, watching this makes me wonder firstly, what you would do if you were going to go in cosplay to an anime convention, and secondly, how you’d look…

  • masuma

    your funny but the CC thing looks like a bra sorry to say

  • Louise

    yeah, i must admit the cloning charlie symbol does look like breasts… however, i think it is rathe awesome overall :) (p.s. check out my website)

  • Alice

    Hahahaha… Brilliant. Just brilliant. You so did not look like an idiot by the end, honestly. The design was simple, and purple and green? Good combo. You could probably set a trend. Always wanted to make a superhero costume… might go away and do just that and see how the public like it.

    Good luck with saving the…. clothes? :)
    Alice x

  • KayTee

    Loved it :)

    The breast patches are the best part of the costume. Super sexy

    x

  • Kjersti

    Aww! I was so busy that I couldn’t see your video erlier this week, sorry ;)
    But, you look like a very cool superhero, I want to make a cloningCharlie -T-shirt, may I? Heheheheh, chan U say Thanks to your mum for helping U, from me??? Love u <3

  • Diana

    Hiiii, randomness here with me today, jus wanted to say like your vids n how random you are, know a lot of people like urself. Go Clone charlie!!!!!! I am no video blogger person, but can i ask, what type of software do you use to edit your videos? Jus wondering…

  • http://jennierosen.blogg.se Jennie

    I can´t help loving you. Seriously, there´s NO ONE like you. The day you stop making videos- that´ll be the day I die. Haha. All my love to you, Mr. CC!!

  • nerdwannabe

    you looked so cute in your costume!

  • http://people.williams.edu/ksa1 Katie

    Hey! I have a Charlie Challenge for you. I’m an American university student who’s about to start a junior year abroad at Oxford. I’ve never left America before, and I have no absolutely no idea How To Be English. You’ve posted videos on this before, but why not another? Or better yet, why not a quick tour of cool places in London that the guidebooks don’t tell you about? I’m not exactly a YouTuber, but I just started my travel blog! I’d love to hear from you. Anyway, just an idea.

  • Joanne

    I chalenge you to tell us what a perfect girl should be like in your opinion :P
    Awsome costume :))

    Hugs,Ioana (Joanne)

  • http://youtube.com/user/jobeanie123 Jobeanie123

    LOL I like the ending. “Breast patches. Breast patches.” Keep up the funny videos!!!

  • Kirsten

    I challenge you to go outside in this outfit, and go to a supermarket or something. Ask there if they have special superman’s food, film the reactions!

  • Jenny

    Hi :)
    I don’t really know if I’m right here on your website Charlie, because I just don’t know and I’m a bit confused, but I hope so. ;)
    Okay… so, I’ve just seen your videos of two or three years ago. :)
    And then I noticed a brilliant video, it’s called: “Competition CLOSED :P”
    And I wanted to ask you whether you could do something like that again.
    I watch your videos for only over half a year and I like all of them, but if I had seen the video “Competition CLOSED :P”, I would join the competition immediately.
    So can you do something like that again, please? :D
    Of course only, if you like and have time enough.

    Oh yes, and I’m sorry if you couldn’t understand all the things I wrote … I don’t come from England or the USA, I only can speak my “Schoolenglish” (and this Schoolenglish I can’t speak very good, as you already read before)… :)
    And there’s another question I always wanted to ask you, maybe it sounds a little bit weird, but: When is your birthday? :D

    Lots of greetings,
    Jenny :)

  • Batgirlsam

    hey, just wanted to say that this video was great, and I just looked at the date and realized it was released on my birthday!! I love anything superhero, so it’s pretty awesome! Plus, I discovered this webseries, so grats to me :D

  • http://simonadriaensen.tumblr.com Simon Adriaensen

    You should do something special for your hundredth video! :)

  • V_Simberly

    Oh Charlie, shouldn’t we have been dating a while before I see your pants and breast patches?

  • Alicia

    You totally made my day with this vid, too funny. Not to mention I had a real fangirl moment when you referenced Multiple Man.

  • Bookluver

    because of this video i am convinced to do my first video on making myself an equally awesome super hero costume. This video is so awesome! DFTBA! GO NERDFIGHTERS! i became one about a week ago. I am very proud of where my life is headed.

  • Jena

    haha, that was so awesome. i love how you got your mom to help you, haha. you should one day make up your own dance routine and costumes or something funky like that :P

  • http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=506007541 Rudhayaini

    Hi there! This really made my day, it was so funny. I won’t say much except how the hell did you manage to clone yourself??? Either you are a really mad scientist or else very tech savvy.

  • Kimmi

    Epic video! I loved it :) I am so tempted to make a superhero costume right now…
    You’ve already influenced me to make a wall of stuff… Hahaha.

    good loock kisses ;)

  • http://loving-teddy.blogspot.com Aguus

    Charlie… I gotta admit that I did the same thing last year just because I was alone and bored in my house. And yes, I felt like an idiot, a really big idiot. Imagine that I’m only 14 and if you don’t do that kinda things when you’re young you’re never gonna do them. And you’re just a normal teenager who makes videos and gets recognized in the street but that doesn’t allow you to be stupid sometimes. That’s why I love your videos, because in the short months I got you know you via YouTube, I’m glad to say that you didn’t change a thing and you’re just who you really are in front of your camera. I’d love to meet you sometime and just keep smiling, no matter what happens, ok?

    Lots of love, from a very big and proud fan from Argentina;)
    Agustina:)

  • ally

    i was a super hero for halloween!!
    i made my own costume as well
    i was dun dun dun duh (theme song)!!!! CAPTAIN COLORFUL!!!!!!
    it was Super Duper!!
    :)

  • Brian

    Charlie, you look great in your superhero custom and you make me laugh! You are a natural for acting and comedy. Have you ever thought of becoming an actor in films? You have a great imagination and should try your hand at screenwriting or producing a film. We still have TV reruns on Me TV in Chicago of Batman & Robin his boy wonder! :) I guess every kid ran around in his underwear with a towel wrapped around his neck pretending to be a superhero!

  • Chloe

    … Now I want to see what’s IN the dress up drawer.
    You’ve never read Terry Pratchett’s Unseen Academicals, either, right? Because they specifically named their team that, rather than have UU across their chests.

  • http://web.me.com/sov7 Rolando

    Please Charlie do more videos more often,is your job ha ha .. I wish get a job like yours,is fun no job,you really lucky.I am living here in East London too .. Wow Alex is having a real adventure in Zambia yeah !!!!
    Ok have fun..Oh i hope move to the city soon so i go miss you,all of you..

  • fionaisageek

    you are theeeee beeeeees kneeeees XD

  • Roxy

    I challenge you to spend an entire day pranking your room mate :)

  • Lucy

    Hi,
    i have just realized something while i was watching your videos. We have a LOT in common! I hate moths, too! haha. I challenge you to makeover yourself as a girl and dance around outside for 30 min. :)

  • Sofia T.

    Well, I just checked out your mum’s channel as suggested and I have come upon the most amusing discovery that you and your mum almost have matching moles (more on the neck than the face…) I’m sure this has been brought up before somewhere somehow and it gives you a taste of how outlandishly busy my social life is. Nonetheless, I think that both of your sets of moles are quite fitting.
    Lovely iguanas, Sofia.

  • Deeza

    I challenge Charlie to create a competition in which viewers or ‘fans’ of Alex and Charlie should be given the opportunity to win a ‘SO COOL LIKE MUG’ or a ‘NERIMON MUG’ (baring in mind you will of course have to produce these mugs).

    Okay so not a challenge for you, just a viewer’s request masquerading as a challenge.
    please consider i have mugs to represent all of my favourite things in life and yours and Alex Day’s vlogs are two of them,
    thanks for listening-no reading or not reading depending on what you do.

    Hi! We’re big fans from Argentina. We absolutly love U, we would like to challenge you to do a marathon of short jokes. How much can you do in 2 minutes?
    We love your songs, friends and all about you. Please can you do more videos with your friends? we really love to see you!!!
    kisses and hugs from Argentina.

  • Jade Culling

    I LOVE that mask!
    It is so funny :)
    You have a very wide variety of skills Charlie :D

  • Taylor

    Charlie I recently started watching your videos and in today and yesterday’s time I’ve managed to finish them all. But now your voice is narrating my life and this is becoming a problem because it’s really showing in my vocabulary and I’m developing a British accent in the middle of America. I sound kind of psycho telling you this, I sound really psycho actually. Maybe it’s not a good idea to tell you this. In other news your youtube channel has made its way to my bookmarks. Coincidentally Doctor Who just came on on the BBC America channel. This is long and psycho fan girl enough so now I’m going to go. Bye.

  • JULIA

    Charlie,
    I’m a huge fan! I’m going to be the girl version of Cloning Charlie for Halloween! (I’m not wearing undies though, sorry, i’ll be wearing dance shorts)
    Ps. I will not leave my property in this costume, I’ll wear it for a small party though.

  • Sophia

    For the next challenge you should go around London with a bag of jelly babies and offer them to random people- “Would you like a jelly baby?”- and film their reactions.

    Because I’m a fan of the Fourth Doctor and because jelly babies are good.

  • Sophia

    oh, and niiiiiice Captain Hammer shirt…Quite the subtle superhero reference.

  • Rosalin (:

    I love the beginning bit :D It’s rather funny so yeah.That’d be all (:

  • Göran

    I like your homosexual ways. If you were not so young, I would touch you like no one else ever has (large penis is a swedish thing).

  • Emily from the US

    You’re kind of adorable.

  • Malus

    You should go out in public with your superhero suit on. It would be interesting to get people’s reactions from it :D. VLOG IT.

  • Lily

    What is your email !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?????????????????

  • Amelia B

    Haaa funny stuff !! when i watched it i was in so much pain because i just came home from an opperation so when i laugh it really hurts :D it was the best pain tho :L keep makeing the amazing videos if future charlie is reading oh and hows the brain conforting going? :L

  • Elise

    Dear Charlie, I’m not sure how else to contact you so I’m just going to try this until I find a better way…don’t worry, I’m not going to stalk you or anything, haha. I have a special request to make. My best friend has just gotten engaged but her fiancé lives in England and she lives here in America. She’s very happy to be engaged but she misses him terribly and is having a really hard time adjusting to life over here without him. I’ve been trying to think of ways to cheer her up and I think the thing that would cheer her up the most is if you made a video for her in your usual charming and hilarious Charlie style. :) We always watch your videos and they *always* leave us either rolling on the floor laughing or grinning from ear to ear. :) I know it’s kind of an odd request but it would really mean a lot to her if you could reply. :) Thanks for being so awesome and making our days a little brighter. :)

  • Eileen

    Woo! Another challenge charlie :D I’m a new charlie fan wooo xD you are so funny and I <3 your videos. The tights were very flattering :DDDDD Keep up the fun challenge charlies!~ Hope you don't do anything to life-threatening :D

  • http://www.twitter.com/carlathezombie Carla the Zombie

    hello.

    someone else on here said something about trying to contact you and mentioned she was not going to stalk you.

    I am going to stalk you.

    For several reasons. 1) I like spinning clothes trick. 2) your funny 3) you have a symmetrical face I enjoy looking at 4) stalking Dan O’Brien from cracked.com has turned up little results, and I get bored easily and most importantly 5) I have no actual sort of life that needs my attention.

    So, lord knows if your reading this because you have a million comments and I know I would be way to lazy, I just thought I’d warn you.

    ps dr.horrible kicks captain hammers ass

  • whitney

    CHARLIE! YOU SHOULD GIVE AWAY YOUR SUPERHERO COSTUME IN A CONTEST OR WHAT NOT!!!

  • Mikkeymousee :)

    I realize that you probably won’t see this comment, but I just wanted to state the fact that your videos are spectacular and I love how you seem to go with the flow of life. I love watching your videos and seeing what crazy thing your going to do; like creating your own superhero costume or seeing how many marshmallows you can fit in your mouth. Also I just wanted to say thanks, because you were the person that introduced me to Doctor Who and I am officially obsessed. I think it is an outstanding show. :)

  • latestdutchfan

    heey Charlie,

    I really like the challenge charlie things xD and so I came up with a great idea for challenge charlie : D
    It’s a drinkinggame, but it would be better if you would use cocacola or fanta or sprite or anyrhing, because if you do use liqour you will end up veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery sick, and we don’t want that to happen.
    What you have to do is everytime they sing “roxanne” and “put on the red light” you have to take a drink.
    This might look like a very weird thing to do, and it probably is, but I saw some people do it a while a go and it was very funny to watch.

    I hope you’ll consider the idea :P

    greetings from the Netherlands :P

    Hi Charlie! I like your videos and all; but I’m a bit upset with the idea that it seems as though you’ve never mentioned… Australia!
    I mean, you could do MULTIPLE blogs about us!
    Our animals are crazy, the myths people seem to have about us riding kangaroos to school are hilarious aaand generally, we just feel a little left out from your world over there in London!!
    Your fans in Australia need this!

  • Danielle

    Hi Charlie,
    I’m not sure how the proper way to message you and ask you questions is, but I have a serious not so serious question to ask you. I’m a big fan of Doctor Who, and I know that you are as well, so I was wondering if you happen to know a web site that I can watch full episodes of Doctor Who on? If you do could you please email me and tell me? It would be much appreciated. Im a big fan. And your super hero costume is amazing. thanks so much.
    Sincerely,
    Danielle (A.K.A Danny)

    I swear, if you give away that costume, a part of me will actually die inside. It’s seriously the most amusing costume I’ve actually seen someone wear. You should do something where every year or so, say, around New Year’s, take out the most embarrassing/entertaining challenges from that year and re-do them, or just look back at them and comment. Like, “Why the hell did I ever do THAT?” Or something. I dunno. . . . Blah, blah, blah. . . . .

I need some advice, and my friends just yell at me, but instead of making this comment into a pathetic story where people complain about their “pathetic” lives, i’d rather just say: im in love with my best friend, and he doesnt like me back, he likes me then not then again. but idk what to do. so my resource is you. :) um but you don’t actually have to answer this, do whatever.

    My school actually just had a super hero day and it did not turn out amazingly. people probably didn’t dress up because they didn’t want to feel like an idiot. i would show you a costume of mine but i wasn’t wareing one. i was rebelling against the teachers action happening down here in British Columbia, Canada.
