I loved this show as a teen. My favorite episode was when they went to Redman's "mansion" and it was just a regular ass messy house. They had wanted him to rent out a mansion for his segment but he was like Nah, this is better 😂
My aunt was a producer on this show. She said the most difficult episode was a hip hop artist named Redman. Dudes place was basically a trap house and he refused to stop smoking weed so it was hell for the editors to try and cut it all. If you look closely in many shots you'll smoke because there was just no way to edit around it.
Coincidentally, the red man segment was not only my favorite showcase, it was the ONLY one I remember from back then. Can't remember a fuckin thing about the other rich Joe schmoe ass cribs with little personality, even though I watched it a fair bit. But I sure as shit remember Redman giving a tutorial on how to hot wire his doorbell just for it to work lmao.
@@hdhshdhs5503it seems everyone else understood exactly what they meant in their comment. Which is you’ll SEE smoke and there was no way around editing the smoke out.
the Jackass episode of Cribs is a must-see, Chris Pontius is living out of his car, Ryan Dunn is in a friend's basement and Steve-O is in the gnarliest apartment possible. Highly recommend it.
You should definitely check out Aaron Carter’s episode. Little dude was basically saying goodbye to his crib because his parents were divorcing and they told him an hour before shooting that episode. Rip
Yeah idk that might be too depressing. Family breaking up and him just dying a couple years ago. Might be in poor taste plus his place was pretty normal (normal for cribs anyway)
As someone who had never seen Soulja Boy before I was surprised to find out that he doesn't look like a gangster, but a malnourished child. Then we looked in the fridge and it all made sense.
Sad thing is he still looks like that today. 😂 he literally looks exactly the same to this day. Like some hood dude adopted a kid from a 3rd world country and then didn’t feed him right.
Oh I loved Cribs when I was a kid! When I found out that a large majority of the houses the celebrities had were rented it was like finding out the truth about Santa Claus, I was so devastated 😂😂
Which is wild judging by how much money these people make. It’s hilarious finding out, especially nowadays when it’s people like Dan Bilzerian and Andrew Tate
I always remembered Mariah Carey's episode, and how she said she would never wear the same pair of socks twice. I felt betrayed when I learned that she faked the episode though(so much that she's more or less credited for ruining the illusion they had going), mainly because my dumbass adopted the habit of rarely ever wearing my socks more than once(tbf to myself, idk what it is but my socks get holes in them by the third or fourth time I even wash them, I also wouldn't be shocked if her bit about the socks was true because she's just that rich and buying 2-3 packs of socks a month isn't the biggest expense on the planet)
Right he likes the guy so much but it’s like Houdini would have been all: “You didn’t like me, you liked tricks. I don’t think you care about me one bit.”
Fun fact; Lil’ John got his own HGTV renovation show. I guess the producers saw how he showed off his house and thought he’d be perfect to host his own house show.
He died of appendicitis that was possibly caused by a fan repeatedly punching him in the gut back stage. He asked if Houdini could take a punch, he said yes, and the fan proceeded to wail on him before Houdini even had the chance to flex his abs in preparation.
It also works if you tuck their head under one wing and sway them back and forth 😂 they just think it’s nighttime and go to sleep for a for minutes. Oh and or draw a line in the sand directly in front of their eyes they’ll just lay there until the line is gone for some reason
I was fascinated by this show whenever I could catch it, but I was always amazed at how little imagination anyone had. So many white walls and and a bunch of boring furniture.
A lot of celebrities have more than one home and just stay short periods in some homes. I have always thought that more are concerned about resale value (I’m guessing).
@@Cartier2ShiestyLol no that got proven a long time ago. Hell T-Pain himself came out and admitted his episode was in a rented house. The only 100% sure legit episode is the Redman one
@@acecashman1237there’s gotta be way more than one legitimate episode. It doesn’t make much sense these celebs are already loaded, unless cribs was going to too many C list celebs for episodes. I tried to look into it separately chat gpt is saying it was some of the homes that were rented but a minority. No one knows for sure though, prob wouldn’t work well today either because people would just check social media
I didn't watch this show very much but I do know that the number one episode that I loved watching of this show was actually when they "went" to the studio of Gorillaz as their animated counterparts and essentially gave a tour of the entire facility. It was interesting to see how the building was actually constructed in put together despite Murdoch being Murdoch.
We recently got rid of one of those TV's Lil Jon had in his bedroom and I can confirm those are the heaviest objects in the known universe. And yes it was kept in my basement.
That TV in the Lil Jon episode was the exact same one my family had in the basement for like, 15 years lol. We ended up having to saw it into small pieces just so we didnt hurt ourselves bringing it to the curb
Ima be honest, I respect that Lil Jon and the East Side Boys' homes seemed the most realistic out of all the homes shown on Cribs (that I've seen at least) lol. It looked genuinely lived in and home-y.
I loved watching cribs when I was younger, but these days influencers just flex their own stale, empty, copypasta mansions for free online... dont even need MTV to cut them a check any more, they'll just walk around filming it for a share of ad revenue. Really feels like i don't need to waste time finding the remote, turning on the TV and waiting for this show to air when I'm looking for excuses to start sharpening my guillotine. I can induce that kind of rage just by scrolling on tiktok. How far we've come as a society.
The Jerry O'CONNELL episode is unintentional hilarious because it's just a fairly normal duplex he shares with his brother. No basketball courts or bowling alleys, just... a house.
their was only one mtv cribs i liked which really didn't feel like an mtv cribs, and it was jerry cantrell's home, guitarist for alice in chains. and he was so humble about his home and the house looked relatively normal with a lot of great accomplishments on the wall.
YES!!! was literally about to comment how that's the only episode i truly loved. he seems so down to earth and everything felt like talking to your friend yknow? plus the part when he showed layne's old cat made me tear up
@@onlyneptuneintheworld yeah the majority of them seattle boys were synical , hilarious and down to earth and not full of themselves like criss angel fuck lol
I feel like Eddie Vedder had a similar episode. Just a normal dude, with a normal house. I kinda remember him just showing off a coffee mug collection or something like that. Definitely better than all the fake cookie cutter mansions on that show
You legitimately have improved on your already solid Chris Angel impression. MTV Cribs…yet another fever dream in my childhood. Soulja could’ve shown a house but he chose Starlight cosplay and that joke killed me. 😂
Yeah Chris you bring up a good point... I'm a millennial who was a teen when Cribs was at Its peak & I definitely had no problem with the violent wealth flexing because that was before it became apparent that I'll never own a house.
As much as I hesitate to unironically praise Chris Angel for doing something cool, turning a 2D painting into a 3D art piece by having actual blood drip on the floor below it is actually artistically brilliant
I need more of this! Specifically younger teen/child stars that walk around and talk about their house like they are grown but then walk into the kitchen and mom making dinner
"I wish I could buy a house." Right. Money does not buy taste or style, but it will get you a $2,000 Louis Vitton doormat or the ugliest bling on the planet.
I always figured this show was both boring and ridiculous, so thank you for making the episodes entertaining. I must say.... Criss' tours were exactly as expected. Was simultaneously surprised AND unsurprised that Soulja Boy's place looked like that, and that most of his money went to jewelry and Hot Pockets. Lil Jon's music has always been obnoxious, but I found him oddly charming here. The weird plant moment. How he lets these guys just chill out at his house and play ball. The makeshift booth. He seems relatively humble and friendly. Like, you could maybe hang out with him for a few hours without feeling totally drained. Even if he does wear shades, lacks an inside voice, and carries a weird chalice nearly 24/7. His episode so far is the only one that improved my perception of the celebrity.
The Chris angel impression kills me every time. It’s more like a slimy joe Pesci voice or something, such a terrible impression which makes it, some how, so good.
When I realized Criss Angel was in this not once, but twice, I looked at Chris' shirt and thought to myself "Do I Wanna Know...." hahahaha, fucking nailed it. 💀
I can't believe that GunnarTVLive broke into your home, beat your wife and children, then stole the Babe cardboard cutout. I'm so sorry that happened to you, Chris
You should've shown Redman's cribs episode. That was the realest one out of all of them. He had his cousin sleeping on the floor at his house and all lol. That's the only one i like lol.
You do know that a large portion of MTV's Cribs were fake right? It came out that many of the celebs went out and rented out like a giant mansion and expensive cars and stuff to show off, but none of it was actually theirs.
That’s hysterical! 😂 I never really watched a show about celebrities bragging about their “wealth”… and it delights me to know there was a bunch of BS going on with it. Totally an MTV production. 😂😂😂
@nacrid2314 uh you do KNOW they don't show the address to where they live right? How would they get stalked again if they don't even say most of the time what town or street they even live on? Have you ever even watched it?
it's funnier when you realize that each "house" or "mansion" is just a set for the episode because there was no way in hell they were gonna let everyone else *really* see what's in their house, where it is, everything--
Yeah, I think MTV Cribs would definitely not work today, but I love Soulja Boy's and Lil Jon's place. It's so fun, in contrast to Chris "Holy Shit, what Dracula house is this?" joint.
I know this is very specific, but the Robbie Williams(British pop superstar and at the time Spice Girl pushed star) did a cribs episode complete with like homoerotic extras, weird side characters, it was just extremely bizarre. To this day it's the only Cribs episode I remember at all. Chris you should at least check it out on your own time. Like seriously its mind blowing.
Most people already found out that some of those celebrities were showing off houses that they didn’t own and cars that they rented for the show… For example, Bow Wow, Ja Rule, 50 Cent, and JoJo.
I can't remember who it was but it was a southern rapper who showed off his "hood house" which was basically a shack with no furniture and the cabinets falling off the walls. It was a very surreal episode.
@@dontdiscriminatehateeveryo9263 Redman claims to be the 11th member of wutang and in the 90s or early 2000s he made an album with method man, so I guess he's wutang adjacent?
When I used to work at canyon ranch we had a co-worker is girlfriend used to work for Chris Angel and she would go to parties at his actual house not his penthouse and she would tell us that all he would have was pictures of himself. Also major coke head
I haven't seen Cribs in over 10 years, and yet I still remember these episodes. Craziness. Hooves crossed MTV doesn't shove a copyright claim down yr throat Chris.
3:53 He has a Bally Theatre of Magic (originally supposed to be David Copperfield but they couldn't get the license) and a Capcom Pinball Magic. No surprise. Now he just needs American Pinball's Houdini to complete the magic trio!
21:26 I feel seen! My first ever job was as a mover, and I did it for five years. Can confirm that second floors are apparently for huge floormodel TVs, and basements are for fireproof gun safes.
4:45 Honestly, all jokes aside, that's really cool of Criss Angel for doing so much with Make-A-Wish, and that he's so proud of the award. A LOT of celebrities don't give a shit. A friend of mine passed away from leukemia his sophomore year of high school and he never got his "wish".
Lil Jon taught me how to make music, and his son as well... one of the most genuinely intelligent people youll ever meet, never met someone more aware of what they are and how he made most of his money selling beats to usher and ludacris etc than he did "rapping" and he knew he wasnt a rapper just a hype man who knew how to sell music.
The Ying Yang twins and Remands cribs episodes were great. Because their houses weren't all that impressive, but they're still flexing as if it was. It's hilarious.
I was nearly five minutes in before I finally realized I’d never heard Criss Angel speak, and was to that point extremely confused that he didn’t sound like David Blaine.
90% of the cribs were rentals just for the show like lil John but some even had designers dress it up before the recording because some of them didn't have a damn thing in their so called cribs.
Good thing MTV showed it’s impressionable viewers the smart way to manage money: investing in flashy cars and electronics that will soon be dated or obsolete , stuff you don’t use or care about, and flashy customized jewelry, etc. that only holds value to You instead of classing pieces that maintain their resale value. THANKS, Cribs!
Not going to lie just found this channel and I keep coming back because opening line spot on. I’m 34 recently divorced and if I had 7 million my house would look worse than Soulja
Its really funny to me how much Chris Angel idolizes Houdini, because based on what i know about Houdini he would have HATED Chris. He was very involved in the "anti-spiritual" movement, constantly debunking physics and the like. He would have hated that Chris uses editing for his "tricks" and all the "mind freak" bullshit. He probably would have written an entire book on why Chris Angel is a fraud, because he was that petty. Also fun fact because for some reason I know magician lore: There's only been one magician ever given permission to do Houdini's famous lightbulb trick, and that was Siegfried and Roy's protege, Darren Romeo.
There's kind of a war on reaction channels happening on youtube right now, which really brings into focus how much better James is than all that other stuff
I just realized I can talk on this chat. I didn't get to watch your full video because I was too busy taking control over Twitter, but I need to rewatch it because you are so hilarious. I love your content so much
Vogues 73 questions is basically MTV cribs for now (they usually film it at the celebrity's house). But at least, that is disguised as some interview not just "hey look how rich I am." 😂

Right he likes the guy so much but it’s like Houdini would have been all:
“You didn’t like me, you liked tricks. I don’t think you care about me one bit.”

Thank you for the double criss angel feature. Truly was the right move
In this video Chris explains to us being background cutout NTR'd.

I can't remember who it was but it was a southern rapper who showed off his "hood house" which was basically a shack with no furniture and the cabinets falling off the walls. It was a very surreal episode.
Damn, I'd love to see that
It was Redman, from the Wutang clan! Best episode ever!
@@pyrosb4hoeshe's not from wutang and he had an apt but yea the episode is the best one.
@@dontdiscriminatehateeveryo9263 Redman claims to be the 11th member of wutang and in the 90s or early 2000s he made an album with method man, so I guess he's wutang adjacent?
@@pyrosb4hoesRedman is not a member of Wutang just because he hangs with Method Man don't ever embarrass yourself like that again.
Criss better do a collab with Chris. I think I’ve watched more Criss in the last few years thanks to Chris than I did in any other time of my life.
I just recently found your channel, and I have to say it's a new favorite. Absolutely hilarious, keep it up 👌
it blows my mind that criss angel said that magic line about his bed without realizing how bad that sounded
Would love to see more of this!!!
Holy fuck there is so much beige. Gotta love the 00's beige everything. Even Chris Angel? BEIGE.
I can’t believe you did a cribs episode without including the iconic Redman episode!
Please don’t stop making these vids, i especially love the spike tv ones😂
6:58 "I gave him a pinball"; don't know why that got me
Crazy that Chris Angel mind freak had the wings and not the dead people looking up- I mean down on him.
How Chris Angel dresses gives me flashbacks to every angsty kid in 2005 looked.
When I used to work at canyon ranch we had a co-worker is girlfriend used to work for Chris Angel and she would go to parties at his actual house not his penthouse and she would tell us that all he would have was pictures of himself. Also major coke head
Yeaaaa you can kinda tell that just by watching him for 3 seconds.
I definitely look forward to more of this. I used to love this show. Loving the camera you use for the cameraman bit.
Love it when you upload Chris!
I haven't seen Cribs in over 10 years, and yet I still remember these episodes. Craziness. Hooves crossed MTV doesn't shove a copyright claim down yr throat Chris.
The Redman episode was inarguably the realest one. Dude didn’t even bother to clean a single thing
This was so funny. I love that you choose the one with Chris angel considering your channel’s history. This possibility is your best video so far
Your chris angel voice has become SPOT on dude holy shit you are officially mind freaked
Your cris angel impressions/mannerisms have gotten so on point 😂
@Chrisjamestv The "I gave him a pinball" was probably one of the funniest things you have ever said. Perfectly timed.
3:53 He has a Bally Theatre of Magic (originally supposed to be David Copperfield but they couldn't get the license) and a Capcom Pinball Magic. No surprise.
Now he just needs American Pinball's Houdini to complete the magic trio!
The zoom in on your face when you gasp 😂Perfect.
21:26 I feel seen!
My first ever job was as a mover, and I did it for five years. Can confirm that second floors are apparently for huge floormodel TVs, and basements are for fireproof gun safes.
My boss (at the time) got the end of his finger CUT OFF by a chain while lowering a fireproof gunsafe into a basement through bilco doors.
4:45 Honestly, all jokes aside, that's really cool of Criss Angel for doing so much with Make-A-Wish, and that he's so proud of the award. A LOT of celebrities don't give a shit. A friend of mine passed away from leukemia his sophomore year of high school and he never got his "wish".
I like how you just completely glazed past the point that Chef Ed's last name is f'ing "Bible" 😂
The floor cleaner with the grinding noise on the spot 🤣🤣
That terra cotta heavy/dismal Tuscan Olive Garden look is so early 2000s perfection
Lil Jon taught me how to make music, and his son as well... one of the most genuinely intelligent people youll ever meet, never met someone more aware of what they are and how he made most of his money selling beats to usher and ludacris etc than he did "rapping" and he knew he wasnt a rapper just a hype man who knew how to sell music.
but... did he have you recording behind the mattress? 🤔
Chris, your Criss Angel accent is ✨ flawless ✨
The Ying Yang twins and Remands cribs episodes were great. Because their houses weren't all that impressive, but they're still flexing as if it was. It's hilarious.
I was nearly five minutes in before I finally realized I’d never heard Criss Angel speak, and was to that point extremely confused that he didn’t sound like David Blaine.
Mr. James I could watch a half-hour video of you imitating Chriss Angel.... Spot on!! Even with the lisp!!!😂😂😂😂
Love the content...
90% of the cribs were rentals just for the show like lil John but some even had designers dress it up before the recording because some of them didn't have a damn thing in their so called cribs.
Your Chris Angel impressions made my Fall, no pumpkin spice needed 😭🤣🙏🏻
6:53 “I gave him a pinball”
I almost died laughing
Good thing MTV showed it’s impressionable viewers the smart way to manage money: investing in flashy cars and electronics that will soon be dated or obsolete , stuff you don’t use or care about, and flashy customized jewelry, etc. that only holds value to You instead of classing pieces that maintain their resale value. THANKS, Cribs!
Chris, you actually killed me in this video quite a few times. 10/10
Not going to lie just found this channel and I keep coming back because opening line spot on. I’m 34 recently divorced and if I had 7 million my house would look worse than Soulja
Its really funny to me how much Chris Angel idolizes Houdini, because based on what i know about Houdini he would have HATED Chris. He was very involved in the "anti-spiritual" movement, constantly debunking physics and the like. He would have hated that Chris uses editing for his "tricks" and all the "mind freak" bullshit. He probably would have written an entire book on why Chris Angel is a fraud, because he was that petty.
Also fun fact because for some reason I know magician lore: There's only been one magician ever given permission to do Houdini's famous lightbulb trick, and that was Siegfried and Roy's protege, Darren Romeo.
There's kind of a war on reaction channels happening on youtube right now, which really brings into focus how much better James is than all that other stuff
I just realized I can talk on this chat. I didn't get to watch your full video because I was too busy taking control over Twitter, but I need to rewatch it because you are so hilarious. I love your content so much
You are SO FUNNY CHRIS!! I literally look sometimes to see if you post videos because I just need a good laugh LOL 💯🙌🏾🔥💪🏾🩷🤎😋🤣
I have seen so many episodes of this show and somehow deleted every second of it from my memory. They should get an award for that.
Vogues 73 questions is basically MTV cribs for now (they usually film it at the celebrity's house). But at least, that is disguised as some interview not just "hey look how rich I am." 😂
