Well done everyone, this came out lovely!!! XxxX
love u crabby
Came out...eyyyyy
You did a good. *all the claps*
💚💚💚where is z gold
Amazing job Chris!
I’m 6ft5 and also bisexual, and i am definitely stealing the bi and large joke
same
As a 5'11 guy, I'm distraught that I'm only a couple inches off being able to use it haha.
Would someone explain the joke to me? English is my second language and I am not sure I get it.
@@emmynoether9540 By and large is an expression meaning "the most" it's a play on words of "bi and large"
So he's saying that being bisexual and tall are his most noticeable qualities.
6’7, so yeah :D quite possibly same
Sammy could've just tweeted that he didn't like Spider-Man 2 but he did this instead
woah hey, hold on there midge! It’s not the masterpiece that is Spider-Man 2, it’s the garbage that is The Amazing Spider-Man 2
midge cerys BI N LARGE!
I love the poster in the background that says 'Scissoring, and other lies'
Me too
Good spot!
Me too! ^^
Same here
Loved this!! 😊
I’m soooo surprised this doesn’t have more likes....Or any replies? I guess it’s a nice little surprise. Hey phil!
Oh hey phil
why
the blue lights represents his attraction to boys and thats where he is in a small room by himself indicating he's not that open about it, and the pink light represents his attraction to girls and he's on stage in front of people indicating he doESNT FEEL LIKE HE HAVE TO HIDE THAT SIDE OF HIM
You're brilliant
Chris is such an incredible actor- he always amazes me
Aubryella Otero agreed. What an amazing actor, deserves everything
Yasmine Grace ikr he should get hired for movies and stuff
I love the short film where he gets lost in the woods with a group of vagabond kids. That one was surreal, fun, and moving. The range of what Chris is capable of when he's in scripted things is wonderful to watch.
Sameeeee
The fact that they used someone who is actually bi makes me incredibly happy.
Wait Chris is bi?
Nabihah Needs Geesus yes, he says it in one of his older videos where he listed a bunch of facts about himself(:
@@alyssaisabelle1931 can u really tell what videos hes actuallly serious ? xD
yeah because it's not like actors can act bisexual or anything, not like acting is all about pretending to be someone you're not either
congrats bud, it's so sharp :) love it
The beginning really gave me Fleabag vibes with the sudden direct audience address and abruptly cut to a short title sequence. Such a beautiful and realistic view on sexuality
that is one of my favourite shows and i agree so much ahhhhh my bi heart is so happy and full
Ohh it's bi-cycle I get iiiit
Well I'm dumb 😂 niceee
That took me way too long.
Oh shit lol
Blueraspberry Cat WOWWWWW NAAAAAHHHH
As a bi man myself I would like to announce my disdain for this film implying I should let the people I am hoarding go... I enjoy being greedy and you've given them false hope that they can leave.
You do it! Hoard them all, Clive lovey. Release not a single one.
😂
:|
:)
>:)
Wow this is absolutely incredible. It was so nice to see some bi rep; we always seem to get forgotten about in the LGBTQ+ community, especially bi men. Chris, as always, was hilarious and I love how he got to show off the more serious and emotional side of his acting skills. This film was fantastic, I loved it 💕💜💙
*cough* Augustus Waters *cough*
"It turns out that being bi just means getting rejected twice as much..."
Ouch
Very true though
So I guess this is Sammy telling us something. Something about The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Oh wow Chris Kendall reminded so bizarrely of Jim Carrey for a few moments
Yes!!! He has made reference to the fact that Jim Carrey is an inspiration to him. I remember in one of his sadder videos he glumly mentioned, "its like I'm trying to be the British Jim Carrey or something"
same! I think the outfit and hair helped complete the look
the ending though holy shit this is so well made
I'm stupid I don't understand the ending,, can you please explain?
A bisexual lead, played by a bisexual actor in a film written and directed by a bisexual person. I'm imploding. Also, 3:40 is relatable as hell.
this is more bi representation than i have seen in literally all mainstream movies combined
So good seeing something about us bi people for once! But now I just really want to get tickets to this show which isn't real :(
It's not? F**k...
SAME
Ikr?
“Go with what’s easier?” this hits so hard. You do it because you don’t have to keep explaining yourself and you don’t have to worry about what others think because it’s the ‘norm’. I hope one day I can be as comfortable with my sexuality as this. Definitely the best film you’ve ever done, beautifully done.
representation in the form of stand-up comedy is my favourite kind of representation
just wanting you to know that i am giving you a standing ovation to the both of you, i'm in my bedroom alone but i think it's counts.
This is amazing. I didn't realize how much I needed to finally hear someone else talk about what being bi is like. I feel less alone in my experience now.
alexxassa tell me why I read that as ovulation
Who's watching this in lockdown?!! ...with nothing but a t-shirt on...
;))
popped up on my recommended a year later it’s still as amazing as ever hahahah
Yes.
dang four months
I haven't got a T-shirt on.
person who's not white guy in 40s: *exists*
white guy in 40s: STOP BEING POLITICAL
amazing film! 10/10 A+ will watch again, after i sit here trying to remember who the 3rd Spider-Man 2 2 antagonist was
what?
the poster choices in the dressing room shots!! clever clever clever
as a bi person, all of this rang so true. such a great film, on so many levels
The bisexual colors all over this- a masterpiece
Good eye
DAMN SAMMY THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!! the colours! chris! the jokes and the parts that broke my heart cut together! spiderman 2! wow wow wow wow wow wow
I think the most impressive part of this was that you made me nearly forget Chris Kendall was Chris Kendall for 9 minutes.
this made my little bi heart so happy. i wish something like this could’ve been around when i was a teenager, it really validates a lot of the feelings you have in the coming out process! loved it
Be honest Sammy. You made this just for the bi and large joke didn’t you? 😂 excellent job
as a closeted bi, this is really awesome. and as a wanna be film maker, this is really fucking awesome.
Ugh when I started being queer no one told me about all this baggage that comes with it, really should have read the fine print
Some other problems that I'm sure / I hope someone will be able to relate to:
Being told it's normal for women to be attracted to other women,
Being an idiot and taking a year from "wow I wish I could date just like everyone" to "wait a second...... what if I could?",
Constantly questioning your validity like what if I never liked men at all? Or what if I'm just telling myself this non-binary person is really cute and I've been straight all along?
Not knowing how to come out because your sexuality is like ??? and most people probably don't understand "panromantic and on the asexual spectrum but I'm not sure about it myself"
Really amazing short film though, like same lol
Thank you for this comment, I'm also attracted to all genders and on the ace spectrum and I can relate to it a lot. Especially living in a country where more complicated identities aren't really known, never mind accepted, sometimes it feels like I'm making it all up or like I have to choose which part to reveal so that I'm still taken seriously.
The validity thing is so fucking annoying. I've flip-flopped between "I'm straight", "what if I'm a lesbian?", "i'm bi", "what if i'm straight after all?" "nope, definitely bi" and I still have moments where I wonder. Recently a male coworker asked me out and while I said no, I'm really attracted to him and I can't stop thinking about him (ugh) and I began to wonder. Am I really bi or just another straight girl trying to be cute? Because I focussed so much on my attraction to him that I didn't really notice other people (as you do). But then the other day this really cute girl talked to me and while I am still very much attracted to this coworker of mine, I was reminded that I'm bi, definitely bi, because no straight girl thinks about women that way. Even if it seems like that sometimes. It doesn't help that people constantly think that bi men are just gay men afraid to admit it and bi women are just straight girls pretending!
black rose Wow, you have no idea how much I relate - it’s helpful to know other people feel the same way, as I feel sexuality is so often presented as something the person is inherently sure about when I’m here constantly questioning myself as to whether I’m bi or straight or gay or something in between!
I really feel the wondering if I ever liked men and I’m just straight up lesbian. When I started talking someone I couldn’t tell if I didn’t like them or just didn’t like men at all and everything before was just a lie... it’s so frustrating.
pan ace too, woo! It's definitely been a challenge, especially panace and questioning. you got this!
I saw the title and was like "is this gonna be about being bi?" And then saw the opening colors and was like "so this is definitely going to be about being bi"
Loved the idea of the serious reflection intertwined with the stand-up comedy. It helps swallow the sad stuff. It was entertaining and relatable. Also, yes, crushing on a couple is a big mood.
well that was the most quality i’ve seen all year, really quite touching and relatable. well done sammy 👏🏻
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you. I've identified as bisexual for many years but these past couple of days I've been going through a period of doubting myself and second guessing so much. I can't seem to help but count how many people I like of each gender as if I might actually get my licence revoked. This film speaks to me on so many levels, just to hear someone talk about being bisexual and being okay with that is just so helpful to me right now. Beautiful stuff.
I laughed really hard at these jokes, and I really felt the gut punch with the serious parts. As a bisexual, it really does matter to see some more representation like this. I really enjoyed and appreciated this :)
words cant describe how much i loved this- also i am living for the fact that the use of bi colours in the scenes also made sense with the atmosphere you wanted to capture
that "sorry mate" at the end is so PERFECTLY TIMED holy sHit
Amazing, i love the very strong use of colour to show the pink and blue, very relatable for me, i need more time to gather my thoughts fully but you can bet ill watch the shit out of this a minimum of 10 times
I genuinely had a similar thing with la la land when I first was figuring out the bi thing. Ryan gosling and Emma stone! Nice!
That was literally incredible, made me want to cry at least a million times in less than 10 minutes! I’m gay so I can’t truly understand what it’s like to be bi but that bit about it being a statement to just hold hands with someone really got me
For real though, as someone who is definitely not straight, but confused as hell and in a situation that doesn't really let me explore what I like or how I am feeling, I can't articulate enough how genuinely impactful and so appreciative I am of this beautiful piece of art. Thank you to everyone who worked on this masterpiece. You have made at least one confused and anxious girl very happy!
Absolute perfection! I loved the bit at the end about it helping someone somewhere. I can say it did help me at least, I now feel just a little bit more secure about my sexuality. Thank you x
Genuinely just fucking incredible. Rewatched it immediately and there are so many little things that jump out on a second view - as is the case with most of your work! Huge, huge congratulations to all involved xo
As a young bisexual, this short film is fantastic. I'm so glad bisexual film makers are gaining a following nowadays, maybe we'll finally get filmakers brave enough to say the word "bi" on screen instead of "I don't prefer labels"
This is brilliant. I genuinely felt like I was in the audience. Chris you did a brilliant portrayal. Wow. Just amazing
God this film really relates to me. The contrast between his jokes on stage and his deep conceptual talks backstage really resonated with me. Also it brought up things I thought about before but never brought up like the ratio thing and god I love this
Why are all the british youtubers i like making bi content when im trying to stay in the closet!
RainbowSprnklz they're fighting to make a world in which you don't need to be closeted, babe. A world in which your right to exist as bi, or gay, or trans, or nb, is not up for debate, and even the fact that you *are* any of these things is no more noteworthy to others than if you're left-handed.
"choosing between a relationship where even just holding hands is seen as a statement or you go with what's easier?" - this doesn't get talked about enough, amazing video x
i feel like at this point i really understand your way of writing. there's something about it thats characteristically you and i think thats a really strong and engaging thing to have.
I will never tire of Chris's amazing talent to act. He always opens up such different roles in beautiful manners. This is a wonderfully scripted, filmed, and produced piece. Y'all should be proud
Chris Kendall legendary actor someone give him a series
Oh my gosh, it took me a minute but that title is actually legendary
struggling with being bi right now and this.. this really helps. thanks sammy
in the dressing room, blue lighting, costume, mise etc means he ‘blends in’. AS SOON AS HE GETS ON STAGE, the pink colour POpS!! He’s not blending in, he’s choosing to make a stand!!!
Ahh I'm bi and I loved this, it's very rare to see a positive representation of bisexuality, so this is brilliant! I love how the colour scheme of this shortfilm is pink-purple-blue, it's a really nice touch and very aesthetically pleasing
Ugh Sammy this is so good you're always killing it
aka, him being a bi disaster for 9 minutes and 51 seconds
OMG THIS IS BRILLIANT! HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS!!!?
CHRIS IS SOOO FUNNY!!
and omg everything he says is such an accurate portrayal of bisexuality I have experienced all of this! 😭
ive always loved this, ive watched it multiple times since it was posted and recommended it to so many people. in 7th grade i knew i was bi and I identified as so for 7 years before recently coming out as a lesbian. this is the first time ive come back to this since then but it is still so completely comforting and incredible. sexuality is such a fluid and confusing thing to me, but I’m glad things like this exist!! love it, massive thanks to everyone involved in making it
As a Bi person myself this is a fantastic representation of what its like being Bi, You did a cracking job, well done!
The amazing spider man 2 made me cry for 2 days straight. Those 2 days being Christmas Eve and Christmas. It wasn’t because of the movie, it’s actually because of a friend I had who passed recently, but as soon as I realized what triggered the tears, I thought of this sketch. Basically, great work because this is already a classic in my mind
This really hits home. Especially being trans and bi it's means I'll get looks no matter who I date simply by if I'm passing that day or not
In which Sammy Paul in a thoughtful, brilliant and funny way deals with his complex feelings towards -sexual identity- The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Genuinely think I had the same experience with SPECIFICALLY The Amazing Spiderman 2. Gwen and Peter were extra cute in that film.
THIS IS GONNA BE SO AMAZING IM SO EXCITED
I WAS RIGHT
6:50
"Turns out that being Bi just means getting rejected twice as much."
Top acting, top writing
I was afraid there was gonna be an awkward moment but there was none!
I related to this SO hard. Chris was incredible, and Sammy's writing was so honest and realistic.
This short is extremely underrated. Really a touching short film, Sammy
Every time i watch this i still have a big smile on my face.
Also as a bisexual person as well this honestly made me so proud for some reason. It’s just nice to see some rep out here.
Loved this! Wonderful job to everyone involved, and Chris was amazing. Also thank you for not being over the top pretentious, the jokes right at those moments was such a nice way to not take it too seriously. Beautiful work!!
wow. this was just so beautiful. The use of colour, the humour and overall message were completely amazing x amazing acting by Chris as always and fantastic writing
a short film about being bi written by a bi man starring another bi man
you love to see it
günsu oh I actually didn’t know chris and sammy were bi!
Are they actually?
@@nabzz7026 yup! they're both pretty openly bi!
Honestly better than most comedy shows I've seen
Thank you thank you thank you for making this! Absolutely loved the comedy and how you mixed the two together and it was awesome!!!!
Been having a lot of thoughts about my bisexuality lately, since I got engaged to a man. Its like everyone just... assumes that I chose "straightness" now? As if all my previous relationships, and past and present feelings towards women are erased. This was extremely helpful and fun to watch, thanks for the laughs in an confusing time
every time i watch this i have something new to love about it. so good, as always, chris and sammy working together never disappoints.
thank you, Sammy and Chris, so much. I loved it.
the dressing room absolutely saturated in blue and the stage lighting being majority pink i adore it
I adore the colours in this, everything about it is beautiful
Woowwwww!! Oh my god that was incredible, as someone who isn’t straight. Being what I am does define me in some aspects. This tackles everything!! Brilliant work Sammy, great performance from Chris as well!!
This is so gorgeously made, and incredibly resonant - thank you for making it. I loved the colour focus throughout, thought that was super clever. I just love this 💜
Everything about this, right down to the lighting, is done so excellently. What a wonderful way to approach such (an unfortunately so relatable) topic of erasure and confusion in a comedic fashion. Well done, Sammy and crew. Well done.
I will say, though, everything right down to the Spiderman piece is SO relatable it's ridiculous. And I adore that.
Brilliant! I loved this. Absolutely putting "bisexual or as my mum likes to call it 'could be worse'" on my tinder bio.
This is single-handedly one of the best monologues I have ever seen performed. The brilliant writing combined with the fantastic acting of Chris made me smile for 9 minutes and 51 seconds. You deserve all the praise imaginable.
you’ve written this so beautifully, sammy! and chris is such a good actor, i’m totally in love with this video, good job guys ♡
I am so happy that I gave this a shot, I had no idea what it would be about but it’s so amazingly done, the comedy is great and the lighting and camera angles are really cool
"Even in metropolitan elitist leftie bubble London, you know, I'm so conscious about like how people might react."
This hit me. Although I'm not from London, this is so relatable. Thank you for making this!
Woah, the colour composition is stunning, incredible short!! Much love
I've never related to anything more than this in my entire life.
The lighting and colourscapes in this are absolutely fantastic
I truly love this! Very masterfully written, it felt so real, like I was watching an actual stand up show. Very very good!!
this was absolutely amazing. chris is so talented and he literally gave me goosebumps.
this is so well written and chris is such an amazing actor, this is great
Chris was perfect for this. Thanks Sammy! Enjoyed all almost 10 minutes of this.
