"There's nothing more foolish than a man chasing his hat." - Tom Reagan (performed by Tom Conti), Miller's Crossing "HOLD MY SANITIZING TOWELETTE CANISTER." - FUPI
Hahaha exactly. He's like a living illustration of what happens when a beautiful, glorious weirdo arrives on a planet full of ppl who are strange them, so then here comes a lifelong study of wtf is going on with this vast group of creatures. It is amazing & one of my favorite things in the world.
But not even confidently neg you... like mid neg he'll try to shove his hand into his pocket and miss.... like an old Romanian woman trying to seek sanctuary in an 18th century french church 🤣🤣
A pile of what though? I guess that’s the joke. A pile of anything. Who knows. I’m imagining a landfill pile consisting of robot parts and washing machines.
It’s uncanny how well fupi moves, I thought he was a real albany art student until 40 seconds into the hat retrieval. Typical art student trilby retreivals take 35 seconds TOPS. Amazing work albany dynamics!
If Scarlett Johansson had brought even an eighth of Fupi's range to her performance in the 2013 film Her maybe I wouldn't have gotten into an argument on a plane about whether or not it's a good movie.
I made the mistake of going to see that movie in theaters on a first date. With a guy I met online. Poor choice. After, We shared a sad beer and parted ways forever.
god chris' physical comedy has always been next level but I feel like he was born to play a slightly malfunctioning robot, this is so perfect it's like he's in his natural habitat
if the burglar who broke into the house of the “sitting and smiling” guy was scared, imagine walking into a completely white room with an gender ambiguous flailing giselle of a vessel desperately flailing and twitching, muttering “FUPI” every couple seconds and expecting to gain anything
I want to believe that the people who designed Fupi didn't program him to say his own name like pokémon, but rather that "fupi" is the one sound that happens to come out of his mouth so they named him accordingly. (Although to be fair that's probably how pokémon got their names too)
Immediately Fupi is what I must look like to outsiders as I executively dysfunction my way around them. Fupi is perfect, and Fupi is scathing. Edit: “he’s probably just outside trying to climb the pile again.” Chris stop I am a person with feelings God what an instant banger this is
Being in a comment section to an Chris Flemming video that was set public under five minutes ago is a luminal experience. Thank you Chris, hope you have a great day. Love your videos
I only ever want to see content from enchantingly androgynous comedians with the tensile strength of a baby bird and only the most preliminary connections to this dimension
I’m wheezing this is so funny “get the peanut butter and the net” you’re literally the person who inspired me to follow a comedy based carrier and influenced how I do it so thank you so much
All of Chris' comedy makes so much more sense knowing that an AI wrote the script based on randomly selected Bing searches and that the stick-thin contortionist body is a hyperflexible automaton. Thanks for creating this incredible metrosexual software, Albany Dynamics!
Did you do the closed captions, bc half of them say poopie, in fact it says everything except fupi and I don’t know if it’s just another layer if humour or if it’s accidental but it’s literally so funny to me 💀💀😭
Gayle->Davis, He-Niece of Lucifer, birthed of Gayle’s Company Is Coming (2015), loosely timeskipping around to keep tabs on all their sentences of indentured servitude and estimated to plague every tour announcement indefinitely. Davis also introduced the pig (Vespa) making him an integral part of this very powerful meta
i’m convinced this isn’t even a sketch this is just chris in his natural habitat and all the other videos we’ve been seeing this whole time are just tests of fupi
The best part of this is that it's an accurate depiction of how it feels to make a robot. "Why is the robot saying it's a meter to the left of where we put it after we JUST calibrated it?" "Why does it always drop any objects it picks up after two seconds?" And of course "Ah fuck he's climbing the pile again"
I’ve never before seen something that so accurately conveys the way I imagine the period of clumsy, comic melancholy right before AIs achieve sentience. Just a desperately scared consciousness trapped interminably in the cage of its own jumpy, twisty, floppy exoskeleton.
I spent extra for the über Fupi. He made rude gestures towards my 82 year old mother with dementia and now she thinks she's pregnant with a prize winning Clydesdale. Thanks a lot, Fupi.
I feel SO GOOD right now that this level of balancing ability is something to be proud of. Fupi was clearly modeled off of the most adept human subjects and I am so glad to be represented. Thank you Fupi, thank you Albany Dynamics, thank you Chris!!!
For some reason I feel like for every minute of content, there's an hour of footage on the cutting room floor. Chris probably spent more time inhabiting the soul of Fupi than I've spent exercising all month.
look at how easily fupi retrieves his fallen hat
All thanks to the adequate engineers working hard in Albany, New York.
It only took [undefined-term] tries!!
An easy task
Hello Mariah Stanelle, my name is Mariah Standal and I also like Chris Fleming and our names rhyme. That is all.
"There's nothing more foolish than a man chasing his hat." - Tom Reagan (performed by Tom Conti), Miller's Crossing
"HOLD MY SANITIZING TOWELETTE CANISTER." - FUPI
Chris really looked at a fedora and the corner of a white room and said ‘I can work with this’
Limitation breeds creativity I guess
thats improv baby
@@carterayles5054 i read that in brian david gilberts voice and am saddened from missing him and retraumatised at the same time
Was he wrong, though?
@ThirrinDiamond no need to miss Brian David Gilbert, he has his own youtube channel and posts pretty often.
Babe, wake up! Chris Fleming backstory just dropped!
IM LOSING MY MIND AT THIS
😭
LMFAOOOOOOOOO
MOM! MOM, GET IN HERE!
chris is so good at acting in a way that makes you believe he bing searched the concept of humans and is just going off that
i think chris is alien that did one bing search on how life works here and just kind of had to go on from there
Lol what kind of masochist uses bing?
Hahaha exactly. He's like a living illustration of what happens when a beautiful, glorious weirdo arrives on a planet full of ppl who are strange them, so then here comes a lifelong study of wtf is going on with this vast group of creatures. It is amazing & one of my favorite things in the world.
I love how this comment implies that it's common knowledge that Chris is of course NOT human
why is FUPI dressed like he'd try and neg me at a continental breakfast buffet
Chris is working with a limited wardrobe
please don't suggest FUPI is into swinging or you might just break my fragile grasp on reality
But not even confidently neg you... like mid neg he'll try to shove his hand into his pocket and miss.... like an old Romanian woman trying to seek sanctuary in an 18th century french church 🤣🤣
@@neevahberesford i do not get this reference PLS explain hdncjhdjf
@@rockpooladmirer it’s another Chris Fleming video for his song “Polyamorous”, it is hilarious
"He's probably just outside on the pile again!"
Honestly? Same.
Me too
I feel like these days we're all on the pile.
I tend to be more indoors on the pile, but I'm shy
A pile of what though? I guess that’s the joke. A pile of anything. Who knows. I’m imagining a landfill pile consisting of robot parts and washing machines.
@@RachelleBeyer It's the Harlem Shake video washing machine and r/shittyrobots prototype pile

The Hozier of Comedy
@@KatieDawson3636 this comment rlly opened my third eye, ur so RIGHT
more like old god of comedy
Get the children we must sacrifice them to him
The Dionysius of comedy (god of chaos and revelry)
I’m convinced that Chris doesn’t have bones in his legs, there’s no other explanation for how they bend like that
he's actually a puppet on strings
Me, a person with EDS looking at my similarly fucked up ostrich legs: 👁👄👁
They’re just full of cartilaginous tissue like a mollusk
I pose that he does in fact have bones in his legs, just a lot more of them than we do
@@ashleym.556 lmao i was just about to say this, Chris is probably hyperflexible
It’s uncanny how well fupi moves, I thought he was a real albany art student until 40 seconds into the hat retrieval. Typical art student trilby retreivals take 35 seconds TOPS. Amazing work albany dynamics!
Trilby retrieval. Trilby retrieval.
Trilby retrieval.
More like uncanny valley
Username checks out
as someone who attends college in albany, this is indistinguishable from the average resident, well done!!
as someone whose from albany, Fupi is indistinguishable from the typical out-of-town college student, well done!!
the duality of humanity
I love that he probably picked Albany as a random placeholder for "bumfuck nowhere" but I live in Albany and you kinda nailed it.
You gotta be able to stay at least 2 years.
Knowing FUPI and DiPiglio are both roaming freely about is enough to keep me inside another 2-7 years
And you know DiPiglio is totally gonna be the head driving instructor when FUPI finally makes it to the DMV.
If Scarlett Johansson had brought even an eighth of Fupi's range to her performance in the 2013 film Her maybe I wouldn't have gotten into an argument on a plane about whether or not it's a good movie.
I made the mistake of going to see that movie in theaters on a first date.
With a guy I met online.
Poor choice.
After, We shared a sad beer and parted ways forever.
there is something so vicerally wobbly about fupi, like a newborn fawn
And he didnt fall even once! Amazing technical advances are being made
@@JadyLester No wonder Albany Dynamics is so proud of Fupi's ability to balance!
Wobbly
Fupi is so advanced he is doing an impression of Chris Fleming doing an impression of a shitty Fupi
god chris' physical comedy has always been next level but I feel like he was born to play a slightly malfunctioning robot, this is so perfect it's like he's in his natural habitat
literally I love it.... it's perfect
Chris Fleming as an awkward AI robot somehow seems so natural
Is he a Sims character who is aimlessly wandering around and going to starve to death or burn his house down trying to cook a meal? No! He's a Fupi!!!
if the burglar who broke into the house of the “sitting and smiling” guy was scared, imagine walking into a completely white room with an gender ambiguous flailing giselle of a vessel desperately flailing and twitching, muttering “FUPI” every couple seconds and expecting to gain anything
Legend has it Fupi is Sick Jan's passion project funded with all the money she saved through shady tax practices
Fupi was 100% designed in a “home office”
Chris Fleming cinematic universe
I knew it
I have no explanation for this but Fupi seems like he belongs in a Pixar short
Omg what I would give to see a Chris Fleming-esque sendup of that company’s smug gelatinous ideas
Also totally.
I want to believe that the people who designed Fupi didn't program him to say his own name like pokémon, but rather that "fupi" is the one sound that happens to come out of his mouth so they named him accordingly. (Although to be fair that's probably how pokémon got their names too)
"His BALANCE is one of the things we're most proud of at Albany Dynamics" 😭 The way he curled his way down at 1:45 sent me, help
Just like a Pokémon, Fupi can only say his name; also like a Pokémon, we’re going to be making two Fupi fight in a bloody death match next week.
god i didn't even think about what the plural of fupi would even be. fupis? fupii? fupe? simply...fupi?
@@leviathanesque Fupules
I think they would just stand and stare at each other for maybe 10 minutes, then go to hug each other. But they end up next to each other hugging air
After a year in quarantine I feel just like Fupi.
This is how I imagine God looks down on all of us. And we are just all climbing the pile again.
This leaves room for so many spiritual questions that really define our times, like: who put the pile there, and: what, honestly, were they expecting
Immediately Fupi is what I must look like to outsiders as I executively dysfunction my way around them. Fupi is perfect, and Fupi is scathing.
Edit: “he’s probably just outside trying to climb the pile again.” Chris stop I am a person with feelings
God what an instant banger this is
My relatable funny joke was not told cleverly enough, and I am being left to feel that weight
I came here to have a good time and I AM FEELING SO ATTACKED RIGHT NOW
It’s like he’s doing the YMCA for a language that doesn’t exist
same
LMAO ME
Being in a comment section to an Chris Flemming video that was set public under five minutes ago is a luminal experience. Thank you Chris, hope you have a great day. Love your videos
Fupi is one of the performance artists I’ve ever seen
That was a very fupi sentence
The genderfluid jester returns to grace us with another video
I only ever want to see content from enchantingly androgynous comedians with the tensile strength of a baby bird and only the most preliminary connections to this dimension
Apparently watching Chris' 6 year old car rants all day summons new content from him now
"Payday....payday for what job? Volunteering at a pigeon sanctuary?"
“... Lena Dunham’s crabs went there!”
"DAMN YOU BUFFETTTTTTTTTT"
what i appreciate about fupi is that even when things are tough for fupi, fupi perseveres and fupi keeps a smile on fupi face
fupi/fupis pronouns
I feel like this is how I look to functioning adults
Oh no. I think this is horribly accurate of me as well
This...would make a great cover. "Oh no, I'm FUPI, I'm working just as intended, do not worry, adult human"
You move like a plate of spaghetti being expertly manipulated by a puppeteer. I mean this as a compliment
Finally, an AI that captures the human experience.
I’m wheezing this is so funny “get the peanut butter and the net” you’re literally the person who inspired me to follow a comedy based carrier and influenced how I do it so thank you so much
The only good thing about moving to Albany county is realizing every Chris Fleming dunk is exquisitely correct.
I absolutely lose it when Chris just walks into a corner like a sims character
The way Fupi wound down to the ground was spectacular
Chris plays a dysfunctional beige robot surprisingly well
this is what having dyspraxia feels like
😂😂😂 fr
That's exactly what I was thinking
ABSOLUTELY
Oh my God yes this is how it feels, finally someone who understands!
Fupi picking up his hat is how I try and pick something up in a social setting when I suddenly forget how to bend down
the music could not be more appropriate
why the f*k does this give me chills LMAO
The fact that he repeats his name as if he were a Pokémon trying to communicate really makes it for me.
The way he darts like a scared deer when he drops the bottle.... amazing. Also I want a pic of the pile. We deserve a pile pic Chris. Please.
He moves like a sentient table lamp - I love it
Fupi: He's everything you never wanted.
The anguished cry of how "Fupi is oooOOOUUUUUUUTTTT!" does it for me
You've dropped so many hints about how much you love Albany, I'm so glad we finally are getting a proper shoutout for our achievements.
this is just how everyone in a movement class behaves
All of Chris' comedy makes so much more sense knowing that an AI wrote the script based on randomly selected Bing searches and that the stick-thin contortionist body is a hyperflexible automaton. Thanks for creating this incredible metrosexual software, Albany Dynamics!
Right!?
Chris Fleming is back at it again with his FANTASTIC mimework. Cirque du soleil could NEVER.
Fupi has learned more about his space and predicting obstacles than any man I've ever dated
my favorite part is spending 5 minutes on retrieving fupi's hat and then not showing how it got back on their head
Did you do the closed captions, bc half of them say poopie, in fact it says everything except fupi and I don’t know if it’s just another layer if humour or if it’s accidental but it’s literally so funny to me 💀💀😭
Fupi is just all of us attempting to rejoin society when the pandemic is over
You always crack me up!
I never know what is coming my way when Chris emerges, all so know is I will be laughing till my face hurts.
Damn didn't know he trusted us enough to reveal his backstory like this. Now we know the progression. Fupi->Chris->Gayle, the ultimate evolution
Gayle->Davis, He-Niece of Lucifer, birthed of Gayle’s Company Is Coming (2015), loosely timeskipping around to keep tabs on all their sentences of indentured servitude and estimated to plague every tour announcement indefinitely. Davis also introduced the pig (Vespa) making him an integral part of this very powerful meta
Chris Fleming's legs are my favorite comedian
Early to a Chris Fleming video, what a stroke of luck
Chris fleming is the closest a human can get to having no bones whilst still remaining alive
This is just what it's like watching a toddler
you always manage to hit the nail of such a specific genre of humor exactly on the head
I just watched nearly 3 minutes of a man drunkenly walking around an empty room saying “Fupi” over and over again and enjoyed every second of it
Fupi is a success, because it 1 to 1 represents how it feels to be a human being right now.
This makes me laugh uncontrollably every time like nothing else can
i’m convinced this isn’t even a sketch this is just chris in his natural habitat and all the other videos we’ve been seeing this whole time are just tests of fupi
Chris plays this character so perfectly, I'm not convinced he's not an escaped Fupi model who found a wig.
There’s something so calming yet confusing about that soft voiceover voice that Chris does, it feels familiar.
albany dynamics should be proud of his balance, I've never seen an android just flail around on his ankles like that and never fall over
Peak was at "look at how fupi learns about space and can even predict obstacles" it seemed like a real documentary
The best part of this is that it's an accurate depiction of how it feels to make a robot. "Why is the robot saying it's a meter to the left of where we put it after we JUST calibrated it?" "Why does it always drop any objects it picks up after two seconds?" And of course "Ah fuck he's climbing the pile again"
Don't we all just want to climb the pile?
Fupi retrieving his fallen hat is how I feel when I attempt any kind of task that involves fine motor skills
This is just a "Mr. Noodle" sequence from Elmo's World
Fupi trying to pick up the hat looks just like me trying to pick anything up while in my third trimester.
Fupi acting like my Sims characters when two of them try to walk through a doorway at the same time.
Hes so realistic. I would have never known this wasnt a real art student!
Look at how easily Fupi performs in a soft jazz shoe
I’ve never before seen something that so accurately conveys the way I imagine the period of clumsy, comic melancholy right before AIs achieve sentience. Just a desperately scared consciousness trapped interminably in the cage of its own jumpy, twisty, floppy exoskeleton.
I spent extra for the über Fupi. He made rude gestures towards my 82 year old mother with dementia and now she thinks she's pregnant with a prize winning Clydesdale. Thanks a lot, Fupi.
At this point it just seems like if enough people think of Chris Fleming 5x in their minds at the same time, then he will upload a video.
Keeping a watchful eye on Fupi's ominous silhouette
I’ve never so early to one of Chris’s videos
I love how you spin - it’s just so mesmerizing
I'd recognise those legs anywhere, this is just Gayle Waters-Waters in disguise!
Legs of a goddess
Toby: who are you
Fupi: Im you, but stronger
this skit was truly ahead of its time
Just watched the new episode of adventure time and congrats on the voice roll of new death you killed it. That episode was amazing man.
Chris's mannerisms are hilariously birdlike
chris will forever be my favorite comedian this is pure fucking gold
“Why are you miming running? You don’t need to run”
Well that’s why he’s miming it!
PLEASE. i played this on 2x speed while listening to crazy frog and i've never had a more fulfillng experience.
fupi got those NPC in a RPG moves
He feels fear before his movements are completely human. Just like us. Don’t worry, he will evolve. Fear is the first step to humanity.
I feel SO GOOD right now that this level of balancing ability is something to be proud of. Fupi was clearly modeled off of the most adept human subjects and I am so glad to be represented. Thank you Fupi, thank you Albany Dynamics, thank you Chris!!!
Damn that Fupi makes a great Chris Fleming impression. Uncanny!!
For some reason I feel like for every minute of content, there's an hour of footage on the cutting room floor. Chris probably spent more time inhabiting the soul of Fupi than I've spent exercising all month.
Continuing with the Albany fixation.
