Free Hugs - Laguna Beach, California

[@gamersnz404]

It just goes to show one simple gesture can make peoples day and warm people's hearts. Even the viewers at home. Good on you Austin:)

[@MrMarquee1]

I agree with you man. A little love can go a long way. At no cost!....

[@jghujgh]

HOW COULD YOU SAY NO TO A HUG, THEY'RE ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS IN THE WORLD

[@noahlovas]

I find myself watching your old videos again just like I remembered them some years ago and they still make me smile.

[@DBaskevitch]

Totally LOVE this, Austin! The power of human touch to bring such genuine joy to people is the gift that keeps on giving! Bless you for blessing us and for all the people you hugged!

[@Sumieika]

Watched this with a huge grin plastered on my face! It's the small things that makes the big difference, you probably made someones day or even brightened their lives a little bit..

[@UnkoPiko]

More love, less fighting. Laguna is beautiful. Aloha from Hawaii.

[@hugsandkissu]

:') I am in tears right now. I loved that guy that dropped the surf board and just hugged you like you meant the world to him :)

[@sazee2]

I love these free hugs videos. They make smile no matter how I am feeling!

[@CrazyasacoolfoxBlogspot]

You know some videos make you laugh and some videos just give you a good feeling. For me this video is one of the later. I think it was just as rewarding for you and those you hugged when you made, it as it was for us watching it. A triple play!

[@toastluvo-o2704]

This guy is officially my favorite person in the whole entire world 😙

[@RichyzVlogs]

Hugs, a forgotten tradition which improves everyone's life for the better! Kudos to you guys for raising awareness and spreading love to everyday people. We can bring back the popularity of hugs and change the world to what it is meant to be! :)

[@OMGamanderz]

i really love this video. seriously. because you dont know if someone is having a really bad day and they just need a good hug. i smiled the whole time :)

[@alishawoo1997]

this makes me smile so much :') honestly it restors your faith in humanity

[@yaya1582]

This is so awesome. I just read an article about drama/chaos at a recent Trump rally, where a guy was offering "Free Hugs". The way people were being so confrontational towards the 'giver', over such a simple gesture is pathetic & sad! And then I remembered my time living in Laguna Beach & the kid I passed with a Free Hug sign. I just found your video! LOL. 5 years ago, & it left a sweet impression on me. I am at 5:04! Thanks guys for posting... made me feel relieved there is hope for humanity.

[@InsideLimeTV]

+CAR REVIEWS: 0 TO 100 That's AMAZING!!! I'm so glad you were able to find this video & that you even remembered our encounter 5 years later!!! The world can be a pretty spooky place, but it'll only get better if we make it better! Even if it's just 1 hug at a time! :)

[@Condimenting]

I feel virtually hugged right here.

[@roseesoros]

Aww he's so cute! This made me smile! He was cuter when he was younger. Love the hair!!

[@hollyjolly1018]

[@alexandersullivan8745]

[@mikey94102]

[@462dave1]

How good can life get? Living in Laguna Beach and getting hugs from all the beautiful people!

[@SDChargerschic13]

@InsideLimeTV austin + free hugs = utter epicness

[@monkiebrane101]

[@lolhappygirl1234]

[@pvampire]

OMG I `cant believe I didn't recognize you were at Laguna Beach until like halfway through the video. I used to live there! haha..and what a cool effect when you transistioned from grey to color on the first hug...That must have just been the best day ever doing that! This video made me feel so good...thanks a million!

[@NadiaPoptart]

This is so nice! I help fellow teens who are bullied physically and emotionally, and I am going to share this with them. Thanks for doing this!

[@TUMTUM803]

This was one wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing your video and your hugs. The world needs more guys like you spreading what we have long forgotten..All we need is HUGS..:)

[@t0ddlahbam]

My grandma qould have hugged him and been like, "Bless your sweet innocent soul young man, you have really warmed my old delicate, fragile heart."

[@japdorable]

Aw Austin! This is sooo cool.. Right now I can think of so many positive things to say! You know this really makes me think that these are the small things that make the world go on, I know this sounds cheesy, but this was really awesome. I don't think I would have the courage to do this.. Which makes the fact that you did it, even cooler! Thumbs up mate!

[@ArtGeek16]

i smile every time i watch this because it's so cute! You like made these people's day by hugging them :D

[@littlebitlori127]

This is so cute. Who knows how many of those people were having bad days and you brightened em up :)

[@ruckuslike]

This made me so happy :) this is so cute!

[@ashgates1068]

This is so sweet. You, you are just so nice. You need an award for free hugs.

[@wilddude8087]

[@InsideLimeTV]

[@e.aub7]

By far my favorite free hugs video! Whenever I watch this, it puts me in such a good mood! God bless(:

[@Dipping-]

[@itsmeme6438]

Great video, mate! Every single person you gave a hug to was smiling after! What made you decide to do this?

[@taracolleen8687]

and i cried. i love hugs and its just little things in life like this that make me not hate the entire human race

[@timvoie]

Very cool. Way to spread the love. The world is a better place when hugs are given freely.

[@shadowwalkerairsoft]

4:03 did you get the entire bakery out ?

[@FunnyLittleRedHead]

how did you get the idea to give free hugs and how are you so nice? i live near mean people and theyd never do this.

[@xxpuppyxx88]

love this video.. Great job. I want free hugs. What's this song called?

[@CashewsRoasted]

Can someone tell me why we have war again? I. seem to have forgotten what it was after doing this

[@13svenska]

i couldnt but help smiling through that whole video.. :) that was amazing! :D this made my day. thank you.

[@19674438]

I watched again cause I needed a hug.Thanx Austin ur the best.

[@TheOstussKids]

This is the sweetest thing ever. EVER.

[@kimselsr]

Watching this just made me happy. Can I adopt this guy and get a nice hug each day before facing the world?

[@andydo2007vietnam]

really...Where were you in the video ?

[@criterionFS]

made my day watching this hug montage with a random fist bumb and highfive in the middle

[@Xxpompom10xX]

This is so adorable(: There needs to be more people like this.♥

[@lilq824]

Don't you know that puffy-eye feeling you get right before your eyes start to water from something emotional?...Yep..its happening..*sigh*...Damn you,Austin...I love you,bro

[@lbrewer42]

OK - I admit when I first saw the title I thought I'd see someone making a fool of themselves b/c they felt attention depraved. But before I knew it the video ended. You found a way to reach into these people and draw out that American spirit of kinship that normally only surfaces after a major tragedy like 9 11. It looks like you had as good of a time as everyone in the video. Plus viewers on KZbin, obviously, also got the same feeling - win-win situation! I've been humbled. Thank you.

[@276grant]

were are you at in the video

[@gateway182ify]

This anyone know what song plays in the background? and great video dude keep it going.

[@sunglowmlp136]

This was the best thing I've ever seen! So adorable!

[@SoQuoted]

[@pvampire]
