OnlyStans ⭐️ Chet Hanks confronted Eric Andre at ComplexCon over his 2023 comments calling Chet “emotionally disturbed” following his dangerous behavior on “The Eric Andre Show”: “How did Colin Hanks come out so good and Chet Hanks come out so bad.”

“I approached a man who has lived rent free in my head over a comment they made three years ago and it turns out he doesn’t even remember the comment or think about me at all and now I am talking shit about it online because I think it’ll make me look good and this is going great right everyone I’m fine I’m okay he’s the loser right please respond.”

“He walks around with 4 security guards and I proved that to be a great decision.”

Lol i was totally thinking this “he thinks the crowd i was in could have had an unhinged lunatic in it!”

u/Tandy2000 10d ago

Not only this but it's Eric André. If you want a one way ticket to looking like a loser, try taking anything Eric André says too seriously.

And ironically Don thought about Ginsberg A LOT

u/Pale-Measurement-532 9d ago

That is true! But in Eric’s case, he definitely didn’t give Chet a second thought after making that original joke. lol.

Zack Fox is an American Treasure

Edit: also why does Chet’s caption read with the language and cadence of a Tr*mp tweet?

u/Lil_Mcgee 10d ago

Because there are only so many flavours of deranged. An angry American writing a rambling social media post about someone they dislike for petty bullshit is probably going to contain echoes of Trump.

u/WearyCopy5686 10d ago

White American*!

u/Euphoric_Celery_ 10d ago

Lol if you think only white people follow him, I have an island I'd like to sell you.

u/WearyCopy5686 10d ago

Who stated that only white Americans follow him?

I am stating white American men specifically post online in that style that's exclusively a white American male thing.

I don’t know, Kanye might give him a run for his money

u/Euphoric_Celery_ 10d ago

Ahhh. Okay. I misunderstood your comment.

u/AttitudeAndEffort3 10d ago

Because that’s how idiots think and they’ve been trained to be as loud as possible by society instead of being ashamed of being stupid.

u/MotormaidofJapan 10d ago

Sociopathic narcissism and perpetual immaturity and can't regulate emotions.

u/westworlder420 10d ago

I thought the exact same thing! Just deranged sounding. He really is mentally disturbed

If you had told me this was old Pumpkin Tits himself, I’d have believed it

Yes hello Pumpkin Tits is fantastic thank you for adding this to my lexicon

u/AmishAvenger 10d ago

I thought the exact same thing about how it reads like Trump. Bizarre.

u/CaptainDildobrain 9d ago

It's the ALL CAPS and the constant use of exclamation marks!!!!

u/leftofthebellcurve 10d ago

I think his comment here is funny but Zach is pretty obnoxious most of the time

It's not too late, Chet. Delete is there for a reason.

u/Realest_Sassquatch 10d ago

he literally proved Eric's point 😂

u/Ok_Conclusion_6324 ryan murphy is tyler perry for wypipo 10d ago

Also it’s really funny that Eric handled it so professionally - immediately greeted him and offered him a dap, then when he realized Chet was talking seriously about something he took his shades off, leaned forward and looked him in the eye

Eric literally comes across great in this interaction lmao

u/Charming-Web-7769 10d ago

Dude really went up to Eric, grabbed his neck from behind and pressed him over a joke he made 3 years and wonders why he has security.

What a fuckwit. I’ve always disliked Chet Hanks for the blaccent and just generally having a repellant aura, but this is genuinely unhinged behavior.

50

u/Pale-Measurement-532 10d ago edited 10d ago

His Jamaican accent imitation along with subsequent things he did or said sort of sealed the deal on him being a douche. He’s got no one to blame but himself.

The fact that he’s still so pressed over a comedian making fun of him to the media 3 years ago, so much so that he had to “confront” the comedian about it….. that once again says more about Chet than it does about Eric. Most people would be able to let it go but not insecure narcissists. I’m sure Chet’s jealous that Eric can afford bodyguards cause people recognize him and he’s famous. Chet wouldn’t know what that’s like.

Eric not remembering the comment makes this even funnier. 🤣 I wonder if he’ll mention this in future gigs? Chet’s just dug himself into a deeper hole now! Lol

Edit: Chet is 36 years old??? This video gives 12-year old energy. Dude needs to grow up and move out of his parents’ pool house already.

u/NumberOneStonecutter 10d ago

Eric will tell this story here and there and will emphasize that he didn't even remember whatever Chet was talking about because it was 3 years ago and he's a comedian who comments about a lot of stuff.

6

u/Pale-Measurement-532 10d ago

I cannot WAIT for Eric to tell this story at his next standup gig! Hopefully it’ll be a Netflix special! 🤣

u/Lord_Hitachi 10d ago

Now who does that remind you of? Chet certainly has a presidential tone

11

u/alex_allegra Wait, why is he kinda 🥵 10d ago

Sounding presidential used to carry prestige and substance. 😭

33

u/Big_Buyer_9621 10d ago

Even in his ranting he admits Eric gave him a perfectly reasonable explanation for his issue with him lol.

u/Ill_Associate4578 they called me gay and trapped me in Albuquerque 10d ago

Lmfao you can’t “outshine” Eric Andre on his own show as a celeb, you either roll with the interview or struggle…this alone tells me all I need to know

u/RrentTreznor 10d ago

I read this in Donald Trump's voice because this bozo sounds exactly Donald Trump.

u/Red_Danger33 8d ago

Lance Reddick begs to differ.  Warp speed mother fucker!

u/Mayhem370z 10d ago

Why did he write that in the key of Trump.

u/DiscoLemonade1995 10d ago

Wow I thought Chet was mostly just playing a character or an exaggerated version of himself, but he's really just like that in real life

Chet is a cornball. Jesus

u/I_need_a_date_plz 10d ago

I don’t mind him confronting Eric Andre but he should have done it in a better way. Putting hands on him like this just reinforces Andre’s joke.

u/size0618 10d ago

I guess the big dude following Chet wasn't a body guard? LOL. What a nerd

“Began foaming at the mouth”
Ah really? Cos he looked a bit shook that Chet was right in his face then they had a brief conversation and Eric bailed asap. Didn’t see any “foaming at the mouth”

u/queeenbarb 9d ago

Eric Andre is pretty popular. And I could totally understand why he would have security guards there LMAO.

u/Ancient-Macaroon1 10d ago

I don't like or care about Tom Hanks children at all, but honestly this post kinda hits lol. Eric Andre is a professional clown who got out-clowned.
