History Awesome / ChrisStuckmann

* Chris releasing his video on why he left the Jehovah's Witness and sharing his stories of the religion growing up despite it being very likely to lead to him being [[UnPerson disfellowshipped]] and [[IHaveNoSon disowned by his family]]. Of note, his Kingdom Hall deemed his career choice too "worldly"[[note]]their word for non-Witnesses or, as Chris experienced, a Witness who doesn't shun media for being even slightly secular[[/note]] and made a blatant and persistent effort to derail his career, forcing him to delete his original channel, which briefly succeeded but eventually failed after a "worldly" friend [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asked him why he'd let them stop him doing something he clearly enjoyed]], and scolding him for reviewing ''Film/{{Thor}}'' [[{{Hypocrite}} even though one elder had taken his family to watch the movie]], which proved to be the last straw. He doesn't mince words on how the horseshit he was subjected to affected his mental health, and outright accuses the faith of being a cult.
** Knowing that the video is gonna get him disfellowshipped anyways, he ends the video with one last middle finger towards the [[HeteronormativeCrusader infamously homophobic]] church - [[ComingOutStory coming out as pansexual]].

* Chris' amazing [[BigWordShout scream]] of "And it '''''SUUUUUUUCKED'''''!" during the previously-monotone ColdOpen of his review of ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie''. It's [[SuddenlyShouting sudden,]] [[JumpScare startling,]] and [[NightmareFuel spine-chilling]], especially coming from someone who [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness rarely gets outright furious in his videos]].

* After making [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqvni7phIuA a video completely ripping apart]] a horror movie called ''11-11-11'', director Darren Lynn Bousman saw the video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVbZLNf_pz0 and messaged Chris about it. [[ApprovalOfGod He was very entertained by the video and actually thanked Chris for it.]]

Stretch goals were then announced, ultimately totaling five set at $400,000, $500,000, $600,000, $750,000 and $1,000,000. The project has raised '''over $1 million'', even though it only needed 8 days to become ''the single most-funded horror film project '''in Kickstarter history'''''. It's no surprise that in the updates Chris has posted in the wake of another milestone, he's oftentimes completely lost for words -- the support he's received from his fans is ''just that strong''.

* Dangerously reckless as they were, pretty much all of the real stunts Chris performed in his two Franchise/IndianaJones fan films. Special mention should go to Chris actually getting dragged across the road by a car ala Creator/HarrisonFord in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''!

** Knowing that the video is gonna get him disfellowshipped anyways, he ends the video with one last middle finger towards the [[HeteronormativeCrusader infamously homophobic]] church - [[ComingOutStory coming out as pansexual]].

* His review of ''Film/BirdsOfPrey'' has an unexpectedly awesome moment where he calls critics out for calling the film ''{{Film/Joker}}'' "irresponsible" because we're supposed to side with someone who becomes a psychopathic murderer, then praising ''Film/BirdsOfPrey'' for doing the same thing but showing it as LighterAndSofter, outright pointing out that [[{{Hypocrite}} they would not have done the same thing if the latter was as light hearted and "fun" as it was presented]].

* The opening skit/intro for his review of ''Film/SinCity: A Dame to Kill For''. All we have to say is: SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct!

* His exit from [[Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Channel Awesome]], which he actually did not publicize, saying on his Twitter that attention should be going to those affected by the bad management and not him doing any grand-standing. Talk about ''tact''.

* Dangerously reckless as they were, pretty much all of the real stunts Chris performed in his two Indiana Jones fan films. Special mention should go to Chris actually getting dragged across the road by a car ala Harrison Ford in Raiders!

** Give the man credit for having enough of a sense of humour that he talks about his own movies as ''Hilariocity''.

** Also, the fact that he sat through such an [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible awful]] movie is awesome in its own right. As one commenter put it: "If I had to sit in front of that steaming vomit pile of a movie for two hours, I'd want to scream too."

** In a similar vein, his response after the closing of Defy Media, which Chris did film a video for. He frankly but calmly lays out his experiences with the company as their business practices grew more and more suspicious, but acknowledges in the end he'll be fine and that real sympathies should be with the employees who are now out of work thanks to this sudden event. Not only is it heartwarming, it serves as a strong cautionary tale for online creators getting involved with networks.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HOZjKGfbHU In his old vlog intro]], there's a bit where we see Chris dancing as Music/MichaelJackson. May sound funny, [[BetterThanItSounds but just watch it]].

** Also, the fact that he sat through such an awful movie is awesome in its own right. As one commenter put it: "If I had to sit through that steaming vomit pile for an hour and a half, I'd want to scream too."

** Also, the fact that he sat through such an awful movie is awesome in its own right.

** In his video on the worst movies of 2017, he states that the reason he loathes the film so much is that it teaches children [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop awful messages]] and runs on an idiotic concept.
