[smilesovermissiles]

You're such a tit head.

[TheNewMalone]

For some reason whenever i watch this video I think of the song "I'd hate to be you when they find out what this song is about" by Mayday Parade...

[TheNewMalone]

@TheNewMalone People, not they**

[stevenLegendary]

coool :D



[thatUkrainianguy]

Catherine the Great really inspires me to take what I want more often :)

[SlycerX]

Swords and Athena brought me here! This is a really cool channel. Totally subbed!

[andrealynnbailey]

I love her hair and the way she laughs at herself!!;D

[ThatsTheWayYouNeedIt]

I don't mean to offend you by everyone that makes fun of your eyes but they are very distracting to look at.

[Evolutionofhell]

my confidence comes from the beretta I keep in my pants.

[jayweasley]

First of all, your hair looms awesome in this video.

Second of all, Ally Mcbeal taught me to embrace my crazy. (I'm 17, I know that reference made me sound like 45) granted, I'm not as crazy as she is, but still.

[lancelottodd]

I dig what you say, but remember that characters in movies aren't people. They're little lie machines, and usually when they behave in counter-intuitive ways it's only to move the story along. What I mean is, I think most real life people would have said "I'll walk with you."

Even if your inclination is to be a "follower" and not a "leader" then you should go with it. Your instinct is your one true god.

[insidepurplewalls]

The blog isn't even that long haha. (not to mention totally worth it)

[TessaDoreen]

I actually got this new perspective on confidence from the song A White Blank Page by Mumford & Sons, in the line when it says 'tell me now where was my fault in loving you with my hole heart' I had always thought I was in the wrong when I liked someone and they didn't like me back, but that line made me step back, I'm allowed to feel whatever I want. I'm allowed to be heartbroken when he says no but that doesn't mean I'm a stupid ugly girl it means I'm human.

[arman425]

Damn Girl!! What did you say?!?

[Rockena6]

I love you after watching 3 videos

[thejessta]

Grace sent me.

One video and I already fucking love you.

[lesbianlover60]

mine would probably be tala from i cant think straight

[7654321asdq]

respect

[wittyworldlee]

mines would be Clementine Kruczynski from Eternal Sunshine. Such a bold character

[Lilpulse12345]

she should be my therapist...cuz god knows i need one..

[fjrabon]

The Dude

[rehpotsirhic]

I am inspired by the Ponies in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic :D

[nevershoutanni]

ive been inspired by sa5m in bandslam aka vanessage hudgens

[quitejaded]

Oh, also Haruhi from this anime of the same name (Suziyami Haruhi or something) really inspired me, as funny as it sounds. Because... every crazy idea she would have... she would go after it like it was REALLY SUPER LEGIT and somehow would get people to support her and allow her to lead them, even though her ideas were crazy!!! And no matter what... she stayed true to her goal, going after each activity, whether it worked or not, as if it were REALLY THE SHITTTTT. I was like "damn..."

[quitejaded]

@quitejaded And to be honest, that is what I am learning right now. I'm learning to not get exhausted after trudging along and feeling like I don't have the results I want. I'm learning to get excited about my ideas -- every moment IS legit! Every moment HAS to be the shit! And then celebrate EVERY little success I have, just like Haruhi does. Its worth it, isn't it? This is a hard lesson for me to learn, but I will have the energy to keep to my goals if I get this through my head!

[quitejaded]

The movie character (based on a true story, though) that inspired me the MOST was the girl in From Homeless to Harvard. I just thought "I have no excuses in my life... I'm just lazy." And this might sound silly, but Ren from Even Stevens... she had organization and confidence that I LACKED and I so so so badly wanted to be more like her. I would buy the stuff they had in her room on set just so I could feel more organized like her! Hah!

[therealCiCa]

Thank you for making these videos Michelle <3

[DVISIONstudios312]

nice work lady parts.. i appreciate your grind... keep it up.. come check me out if you get a chance... ciao

[mistterbarrera]

Estoy enamorado de tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii jajaja

[MsAllstarCheerleader]

I LOOOOOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS! THEY MAKE ME LAUGH WHEN IM FEELING DOWN! :) and also i wish i looked like you, your so pretty!

[colorblindsoul]

where does confidence come from? I know where it doesnt come from..

the internet

[theEmilyHaney]

This is probably really obvious and common but Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice is basically the type of woman that I aspire to be. She's so confident in her ability to go about her life in a manner that's right for her and not for everyone else. She doesn't let anyone that disregards her best interests influence her decisions. She loves fiercely and yet she has a rational side to her that always prevails. Ugh, I just LOVE HER SO MUCH.

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@theEmilyHaney She's probably my favorite literary character of all time :)

[Lemovogun]

@theEmilyHaney All women should aspire to be her. These days young women are looking up to the wrong people. My personal favourite is Jane Eyre.

[88cyrus88]

R u trying to do an HABLA from HBO about movie reviews?

[jarenzo]

engaging the viewers with questions aye? i definately watched dazed and confused at an impressionable age... so far so good!

[petev23]

BTW, you rock Michelle :)

[petev23]

Not a character from a movie, but Michael Jordan influenced my confidence more than anyone. Before I meet with a room full of clients or ask a woman on a date, I think back to some of Jordan's inspirational quotes...it works wonders for me.

[Temorablue]

I'm pretty sure Michelle would punch me

[florence1fan]

Is it bad that I was inspired by Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) in Easy A. I think she just kind of showed me that you don't have to make people like you. You should be happy with who you are. That and you shouldn't sleep around... :)

[KrisKehasukjaren88]

you are awesome =) 

[KidmadeProductions]

I feel like the only 15 year-old watching this... but that's okay.

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@KidmadeProductions 40% of my viewers are 13-17 :)

[KidmadeProductions]

@FartWithHeadphonesOn ooh, oops... well congratulations for inspiring the youth :) hurray!!!

[strangeisbetter7]

@FartWithHeadphonesOn That makes me feel old haha

[RCNJrules]

@FartWithHeadphonesOn and rest went to RCNJ :)

[clarinetluvr811]

@KidmadeProductions don't worry. i'm 15 too!

[dkrds]

Chandler from friends

[BreaksTheStereoType]

Nugget, biscuit, nugget in a biscuit.

[Picto82]

The character Stanley Ipkiss inspired me, when I was a kid.

[orhanc1]

Since you like books, you should really get a copy of high fidelity. It's such a good read and had laughing a lot!!

[LilMissae]

Angelina Jolie's character, Legs in the movie Foxfire.. Most underrated B grade movie ever! Her character was incredible, this free spirit that stood up for what she believed in, but at the same time she was so flawed and sad.. I don't know I think there's a beauty in that. But the movie changed my life and told me to like something even if other people think its lame. To just do me.

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@LilMissae RAD :)

[LilMissae]

@FartWithHeadphonesOn HOLY SHIT! *star struck* :D

[4yungz]

Tucker Max is an inspiration, so is Van Wilder.... contradicting choices... yet still true

[iareandyy]

yay! A video !

[hokiehi11]

time for a smush21 upload now?

[discordia69]

ok, one more. I am inspired by the movie "To End All Wars". The collection of characters in this flick constantly remind me of the opportunities I have for success that so many don't have, and keep my grateful and hard working. So yea, I def think we need to constantly keep out lives in perspective to our world. kthxbi!

[discordia69]

heyo, please make vids more often, Doug vids or whatever. I need you to compliment Grace to make my life complete! ok thx bi!

[BeantownYid86]

Confidence comes from movies....yeah nice one.

[JayGeeBeeProductions]

moral of the story?

[ImpactAssault]

I felt connected to Will Ferrell in Stranger Than Fiction. I find myself calculating every step of my life as well and in the end of that movie he did what he knew he had to do regardless if it ended up almost costing his life. I felt like in his shoes I would have done the same thing, just enjoyed life for what it was.

[JosephCee]

xD check out my blog 

[Hyetalogy]

I'm smiling.

I wonder... is that creepy enough?

[lordcoyote2000]

Odd as I review movies on my channel but I can't consciously think of any movies that have influenced me. I can think of many characters I wish I was like. In high school I had a picture of Indian Jones with a post it under it that said, "My ideal self." I suppose Humphrey Bogart did on some level as my 40's inspired look came from my love of Casablanca, The Big Sleep, and the Maltese Falcon.

[EthanWalker101]

I know it sounds really nerdy but Spock influences me in my day to day life. In Star Trek II he says "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one." I try to live my life according to this phrase.

[paulkn6]

Bradley Cooper's 'Limitless' 

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@paulkn6 Yea! that one will get ya thinkin

[JoseDeSan93]

The movie Children of Men, And the protagonist Theo played by Clive Owen. Theo was just a guy, he never pretended to be a hero. He just did what he knew was right. He was just Theo, he never wanted praise or anything of the sort. Theo is sort of like how I see my father now. Not as a figure that did the impossible to rise from the slums. He just wanted to have enough to eat, and when he met my mother and had kids that didn't change. That man that Theo was and my father is the one I am now.

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@JoseDeSan93 I haven't seen it, but all I could think when reading your comment was that the same can be said for Harry Potter (you get this more when you read the books than watching the movies) - that's really sweet about your father :)

[JoseDeSan93]

@FartWithHeadphonesOn Thank you. I have read the Harry Potter books, and that is very true. Side note my father is a fairly confident man, so I suppose that I became confident as a result. Ahh confidence, now in diet flavor.

[ahsnaps]

I have thought about but I can't quite think of it right now.

p.s. I watch movies with influential characters to me a lot so picking someone right now would be damn near impossible let me think on it.

[RDobnakSon]

this is my favorite channel on here no doubt! :)

[WeirdGirlParadigm]

I had an instant fall in love with you and your vids moment...where have you been all my life? lol

[BrowncoatByNight]

I know it's another John Cusack one (what can I say, the guy was the hero of the 90s) but Martin Blank from Grosse Pointe is another contender. Pure and simple: Get over your shit. Everyone has baggage. Dump it and embrace life and love. It's never too late.

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@BrowncoatByNight EEK! I actually haven't seen that one. *adds to list in brain* Great message, though :)

[BrowncoatByNight]

@FartWithHeadphonesOn At least that's the message I took from it. I dunno. After watching Fight Club I felt inspired to open a shop that sold explosives and soap. I could hire you to put together an advert for me? The place is called Blow-Up Soap.

[BrowncoatByNight]

You make me want to wear lady shirts.

[LuiWallentin]

Hey ... I was wondering about that shirt :-) ... sorry couldn't help it

[AlgeBrad3000]

That was actually a very cool message. As a sidenote, I farted today whilst walking and listening to music in my headphones... not sure if it was audible, since I was wearing headphones. I feel I can now empathize with you on every level.

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@AlgeBrad3000 WE ARE NOW ONE

[AlgeBrad3000]

@FartWithHeadphonesOn INDEED. PERCHANCE IT WAS MEANT TO BE, IN A COMPLETELY NON-CREEPY WAY. I just realized that all-caps makes that sound even creepier.

[raratin5]

=D ...that's all

[DeliriumReal]

MORE FARTS PLZ!!! everytime I see someone sing or playing an instrument (well), it triggers my "damn why am I not doing this (yet)"... they do what they want to do and even if they make mistakes, it doesn't matter ... there presence is way bigger and ... arghs.. ok me bed.. otherwise I start writing a novel now.... and I am probably too sleepy right now and make sense only 2 myself.

°Sara°

[bamachick1101]

This was awesome!! I so wish I had your confidence. We're new subscribers & I can't wait to see more!

[mermaidmelody248]

Im ine of the 40% who read your comment on the link! Very helpful and enlightening! Thx :D

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@mermaidmelody248 Oh hooray! Thanks!!!

[Sonianv]

lol. loved the video. especially the ending. i enjoy playing piano endings like that. =)

[jalandajames]

I love your style. You inspired me to call myself a video producer. I couldn't put a word on it until I saw the stuff you were doing with Marie Forleo. Then I got it. That's exactly what I do. I produce videos. Weird being in front of the camera but I'm getting better.

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@jalandajames That's AWESOME!!! :D

[MrC0o0o0o0o0o0o0ol]

hmm iv never thought of it that way but wich way are you goin!!!

[necox5]

I'm inspired to be more like Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm :)

[JamieDanger]

I think that most of my personality in high school (and still now, to some degree) was directly related to the fact that, every single weekend, I watched "Ghost World," and I was just obsessed with how cool Thora Birch's character was, and I just wanted to BE Enid (but for boys).

[concord327]

Cute = thought I typed called.

[concord327]

Honestly Luke Skywalker still is one character I think about as a role model. What would Luke do. The best moment in the whole saga is at the end of Empire and how he learns that Vader is his father doesn't join him just manages his emotions I know he's cute a whiny bitch sometimes but so am I. But he let's go. Risks death and refuses to join the Dark Side. Anakin in the preqs had trouble letting go and became Vader.

[alexandro097]

That was a great video! 

[SixBubbles]

high fidelity is amazing. it was the first time i saw jack black in a film (before he got all famous and obnoxious) and john cusack is just great. i dont really act like anyone, but sure do see most celebrity women and try to NOT act like them. why are women in hollywood such poor examples of good decent people? especially the ones people idolize. its not everyone. the only celebrity i would emulate would be drew barrymore. shes so awesome. id rather just be me though.

[altosax29b]

Are you considering running for King of the Web at some time?

[fitactinglove]

You're the best.  You are just the best. Lets fall in love.

[da1ved]

You should end your videos by saying "HONK HONK", and maybe sell some merch with the same. 8)

[nikeeweston]

Why is it when you move i am reminded of your bloke, lol you do the same movements.

[nikeeweston]

Well at least you have the ads, hope you are getting something from them. We need more women as partners on here. More girl power. Yeah i said it. Ok it should be Woman power.

[trumpeter0102]

Any John Cusack movie is amazing so referencing High Fidelity is a #WIN.

[mzbluesky92]

Ferris Bueler inspired me to be more spontaneous

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@mzbluesky92 Me too :D and to get out of school. a lot.

[GeoffM30]

Probably have been affected more than I will ever truly know. But I do know I looked my brother dead in the eye and said "I wonder if I'll be held responsible for this." ,after doing suuuummmthing earlier.

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@GeoffM30 I do not regret the things I've done, but those I did not do. :D

[CJSteveMcBean2]

A Doug-less (Douglas HA) video uploaded on a Tuesday? WHAT IS THIS?! Still, awesome video

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@CJSteveMcBean2 Doug is on vacation! He'll be back soon :)

[nikeeweston]

Oh and this was epic as per usual. You are awesome. Wait you a partner yet?

[nikeeweston]

OK please do a vid about being fucking being terrified of commitment. As i cannot get over it.

[mimsss]

you are funny! like legit funny

[alchlohol]

that perfect wink is definitely something i will repeat around other people.. youve inspired me!

[TheMrstarbucks]

big.eyes

[princeword]

-I used to hate that song. -Yeaaaah

-Now I kinda like it. -Yeaaaaaah

[dippy17]

sexiest winker award goes to... *drum roll please*

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@dippy17 [ohpleaseletitbemeohpleaseleti­tbemeohpleaseohplease]

[princeword]

can't tell what's hotter: the shirt, you or Eric?

I love High Fidelity. Didn't we watch it together? I think we did. I told someone:" You don't own fucking Blonde on blonde"?

I'm inspired by Mr Holland. I want people to be my opus too. In a non-dirty way.

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@princeword Yea I filmed this not long after you left NYC. Took us long enough to get it cut, eh? :)

[princeword]

@FartWithHeadphonesOn I smelled gazpacho while watching this. Now I know why. Sí

[kozes]

the main character from "The United States of Leland"

he reminded me of my self

[Keikei06]

Love this video. Totally agree, touch up on the same things on my video on confidence (self promotion there, sorry :P ). Just trying to say, I can relate.

[DareYouFilms]

Confidence comes from within... my pants.

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@DareYouFilms me too!

[DareYouFilms]

@FartWithHeadphonesOn Missed ya:) Looking forward to more videos from you!

[steven20600]

yeah your back :D

[AriusSerillious]

confidence comes from tits, amirite?

[Sobretts]

@AriusSerillious No it comes from within, but you need to grab it from without. (so people see your confidence)

[FartWithHeadphonesOn]

@AriusSerillious confidence is breast milk?

[ladygagalovesmygma]

IDK?! where??
