The Grad Student Shuffle

[cecilyerker]

Chris would have been a prized and respected court jester in Tudor England

[saradecker]

earnestly said "the best miso soup i've ever had is in cedar rapids" tonight and immediately was like oh fuck. the grad student shuffle...

[tincansquaredance]

Seriously, the way Chris expertly nails certain personalities using highly specific traits is a skill.

[Spottedleaf]

i like how Chris impersonating a generic white dude always has the same feel as someone doing drag

[j.a.]

I can't tell if Chris has been to a college campus or EVERY college campus

[scifikoala]

Chris's specificity always haunts me but especially the "name an obscure dish then say an unexpected place" because the quintessential story we always tell about my best friend's deeply pretentious ex was when they were planning a trip to Europe together and he kept refusing to plan anything "touristy" and instead wanted to find things like "the best pho in Amsterdam"

[film]

I did not do a single one of those things in grad school, nor did I observe my fellow grad students doing any of those things, yet it is somehow all true. Incredible.

[genuineinterest]

Chris moves like his legs are the brain of his body and the rest of him is just following along

[Vindsvelle]

His ambiguous, annelid worm sexuality has peaked. He's like a species of exotic sea snail that changes its gametes based on ambient temperature who also does insane flamingo poses in crushed velvet package handlers.

Dear Grad Students,
Ghee does not need to be kept in the fridge.
Sincerely,
A Brown Person

I always get anxiety that I'm going to feel attacked in these videos. Even if the subject isn't directed toward me, there's always that chance I might catch a stray bullet.

[snoopster]

i honestly wish i could understand why my sense of humor thinks "do community acrobatics in a very public setting blocking foot traffic access to a child's birthday party" is the funniest thing I've ever heard

[personalaccount]

“Get Hard When Your Professor Bums a Cigarette Off You” is incredibly too accurate and I hate this

[mazgraz]

I showed this to my grad student friend and his main critique was "but.. ghee doesn't need to be refrigerated"

[agentartbarn]

call yourself a community organizer even though youre not on speaking terms with your roommates I DIED

[XxEvilTiggerxX]

This just reminds me of the guy at university who told me I hadn't lived until I smoked shisha on a rooftop in Turkey as the sun set. Like ok Noah, keep crunching that granny smith apple in our lecture like a dick.

I went to a city in Massachusetts fairly recently and encountered dozens of people who fit this exact description. I didn’t even have to interact with them to know that they would try to tell me about the benefits of a standing desk if they had the chance.

[novembermoon]

the worst part is i have ACTUALLY seen an acro yoga club in a public park blocking the path to a child's birthday party

[tahsat]

"Now take a 40 minute tango class, now be the worst in that tango class"
I'm dYiNg

Chris Fleming and Brian David Gilbert in one room would be... an experience but I'm unsure of what kind...
