This is what I always say about Chris: you never know what he's gonna say next, you just always know it will be something nobody has ever said before

[@erinyes3943]

I’m gonna quote this someday and not remember where I got it from

[@veronicagerace7049]

I'm actually a Baby Boomer too, but I look young because my connection to my Bitmoji functions like The Picture of Dorian Gray

Uh oh. Better be careful not to look at it. Gotta squint to chose the style

[@wormwood6286]

the absolute stranglehold Amy Adams in Arrival has on Chris’s psyche is my favorite thing

[@thomase13]

Omg - this is the most perfect description!

Chris using the mic as Jane Goodall’s ponytail is maybe the most amazing impression I’ve ever witnessed

[@rachel_sj]

As an anthropologist, that impression had me dead

[@Bingbangboompowwham]

It can’t be easy coming up with original ways to use a mic as a prop but that might be the best mic-as-a-prop ever done

I've seen Jane Goodall in person and it's true

[@marydesmond7687]

And then the “every public library I’ve ever been to, I’ve seen Jane Goodall” I LOST IT LOL

[@allieeverest]

I immediately knew it was supposed to be her ponytail before he even said. This is how far I have gone into the psyche of Chris Fleming.

my mother's fixation on bitmoji has been so fascinatingly intense since her discovery of them, she sends them for every holiday they provide and insists we send updated avatars every christmas, forcing me to do my yearly dusting off of mine with an updated haircut, so she can make a holiday card of our family's bitmojis together

[@slaphappybullet]

Oh my god 😭😂 you are a good child because I would make mine insane looking

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

Our school asked for updated bitmojis and did a collage of them all in a picture of the front of our school....just 80 bitmojis that were surprisingly easy to tell who they were supposed to emulate.

Chris’ uncle vicariously living his goatee fantasy thru his bitmoji is beautiful. That’s not just a bitmoji. That’s a representation of the uncle’s past present and future selves combined. That’s Chris’ uncle’s fursona.

My mom finally has a new phone and she was so excited to use bitmoji. I feared that I failed to support her use of them to communicate with me. Chris is right. We should be reaching out to them through their chosen method of expression. I am listening and learning.

At this point the only communication I have with my dad is him sending me one (1) bitmoji on every holiday

[@23ofSeptember]

My mother never got into Bitmoji, but she goes wild on the emojis. Lots of hearts and other stuff. The worst about having your mom on social media is that she reposts all those "share if you are a real friend..." posts that look like she wrote it. But yeah, all her accounts are hacked. Proud of my father. He doesn't use social media, but is addicted to online poker (play money of course).

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Ha! My mom's fb account was hacked and taken over. So she started a new one. Then, I keep having to explain to my dad to stop sending messages to my mom's hacked account bc it's not her. My mom keeps sending out those videos that you have to send this video to 3 people, or else. I told her she doesn't have to do that. But she says well maybe it's real. 😏🙄

[@leahreiss2943]

"play money of course" right, until you find out it wasn't at the reading of the will...

[@casadastraphobia]

Thank you Christopher. This may hold us over through the coming turmoil

Teachers are also keeping Bitmoji alive. It is actively encouraged and used and linked to a lot of teaching resources.

thanks man. just got back from putting down my dog and was looking for a good skit. i don't know whats going on in my life anymore but this gave me a lot of purpose. my dad passed last week and he didn't leave me anything in the will but he loved bitmoji. this is how i'll remember him. thank you so much, i love you. happy christmas man. like i just said im just chillin', just put my dog down but wish i was hanging with you and the homies. i would give anything for a chance to drink pepsi with you and the boys. i love you man.

[@atlantashea]

I hope you have been doing amazing. You've always been the best maybe Bi comedy guy in my opinion, and i absolutely love your stuff. Im a pretty straight male to who works in construction so that's some nice demographic for you. And I also found your channel 7 years ago sitting at the lunch table in high school talking to a Mormon Girl that was really kind. I remember talking to her and being a little surprised about how restrictive her religion was towards things like music and entertainment. So she showed me your channel to help me understand what type of comedy was appropriate for someone like her, but she did say your stuff was a bit on the vulgar side 😅. Everything from Gayle to your awesome Stand ups have just been a breath of fresh air. Thank you for everything you do. You will always have my support Chris 💜 Happy holidays 🎉 😇

[@princicat]

this comment is unironically awesome but also i am obsessed with chris fleming's new tag lines: "maybe bi comedy guy" (got a real ring to it) and "for mormons and straight males, too!"

[@cinemaocd1752]

I had no idea what this was about so I opened a tab while watching this and opened facebook to a boomer friend. Sure enough, she has a bitmoji icon that is exactly like he's describing. It's like a giant head and a tiny body that is sort of squished into the edge of the frame and her body is shooting hearts and flowers from some oriface that is too small to see because again the body is miniscule compared to the head...just BIZARRE.
