  • "my favourite memory is all the hugs my mum gave me my whole life"

    this is so beautiful

  • does anybody know the name of this song?!?!?! please i really gotta know. like asap. i need it for a school project. thank you!

  • thumbs up

    if your from CHICAGO

  • Videoes like these make me proud to be a child of Wendy

  • I really enjoy all of these videos. Seeing people light up to their own lives put a smile on my face. Thanks for making these.

  • ahhh! i'm in this! <3

  • Chicago!

  • It's weird how many people answer with money and "things" to the question of what would make their day, and yet most favorite memories revolve around being with someone they love and not around geting money or buying cars. Anyway, very nice video! And Chicago is now on my "Places to see before I die"

  • @36PhoenixRising

     no body cares

  • I know no one cares, but my favorite memory was being with my 8th grade girlfriend and writing notes to each other back and forth... we were truly in love... she's long since moved on.. Its my favorite memory, but its hard to think about...

  • My favourite memory of Chicago...two many to mention but I suppose the feeling I got walking down state st for the first time looking up at the tall buildings. I love Chicago.

  • My favorite memory of Chicago was when I was about 5, my dad and I were walking on Navy pier getting portillo's on a rainy afternoon. Weird but awesome.

  • I love that song! Oliver Tank, you genius!

  • i love these "50 people 1 question" videos, i look it up every once in a while and was soooo happy there was a new one, especially Chi-Town !!!

  • 2:43 ummm, that's not a girl... well maybe now but..

  • 2:38 : I hope it's your camera.

  • im been to both new york and chicago...i dont get what the deal with new york is, chicago is a much better city in ever way

  • Awwwww mannnnn. I love you, Chicago. We may be called Second City but we're second to none. Haha!

  • @WafflesandWhales

    Chicago is called Second City because of the Great Chicago Fire - the city had to rebuild itself. The Water Tower on N. Michigan Ave. is part of the couple remaining buildings that survived. I'm surprised that not a lot of Chicago residents know this.

  • @TickleMeElmo55 Ok. Fine. You win. Did you also know that 95% of Chicagoans don't know smack about history? I made that up.

  • @WafflesandWhales

    LOL. No need to get sensitive. It's better to know the meaning behind that nickname then go spouting "we're second to none" when it fact the nickname doesn't even pertain to an inferior complex that most Americans believe.

  • @TickleMeElmo55 I didn't get sensitive. I was laughing along, Thanks for that little snippet of info.

  • @WafflesandWhales

    No problem. I have some more snippets if you care to learn.

  • 2:41 hell yeah thailand has the best women

  • Hey guys, congrats on the amazing video! I truly love it! We love this! One request: Would be really great & appropriate for you guys to reference the original series as we ask on our website: 50p1q dot com. We've gotten some emails confused about who put this together, etc. We are working on being able to add other videos on the site- in the meantime would love if you guys would put some type of attribution to the original series.

    Much appreciated!

    Benjamin Reece

  • @separatethis Guys, thanks so much for getting in touch. We have referenced the original series in the information section of the video as well as a link to your website. We are really excited about seeing your new videos in the series. Look forward to chatting soon Benjamin :)

  • Terrific!

    Facing a hard situation, this video made me cried but give me a fresh way to go.

    THX :)

  • @meonako We've watched our video hundreds of times now and it's a bag of emotions. Delighted to hear this has given you a fresh perspective on things :)

  • These Vids give me a crazy rush of emotions

  • @MRMELOE Yes they sure do! Meeting the people is probably my favorite part. You meet so many great people from all walks of life.

  • MUST... VISIT... CHICAGO.

  • @TheSockPuppetShow Put it on the TO DO list! Hope my video demonstrated the beauty of the city and the warmness of its people.

  • The chick at 3:35 is absolutely gorgeous! oh wait..thats because its my girlfriend :-P

  • @illinimarine7 That is amazing! I agree completely. If she could send me a mail that would be great :)

  • This video is sooo Vimeo. (I mean that in a good way.)

  • I WANT THIS MUSIC!!!! Any idea's wich song this is?

  • And the bridges smell like Chocolate. Chi-town is the greatest city in the world! — imho.

  • This is so bloody uplifting

  • @ixat00 Delighted it put a spring in your step :)

  • i dont know why i smile when i everyone of them answering the question

  • @fofarabs 'All these wonderful memories come flooding back' !

  • @fofarabs because despite all the shit that goes on in the world showing the ugly side of humanity, we can still have sparks of beauty within ourselves

  • My favorite memory is experiencing the 'real' Irish Pub feeling in Malahide and St. Paddies day in Dublin ! Thats the first thing that always pops up in my head

  • @YRouw Delighted you like Ireland!

  • Gotta love Chicago!!

  • Beautiful and inspirational video, I like it.

    My favorite memory... it's kinda hard to pick, I have a lot of good memories. Great times with my girlfriend (we are still having great times), spending time with my dad and grandmother at their summer house, childhood and friends, awesome video games, awesome movies, going to other counties, getting my own apartment, collecting pokemon cards when I was small, amusement parks, building my own computer, and much more.

  • My favorite memory was waking up from a 3-year coma four months ago :)

  • @OrangeClockpiece That is an incredible favourite memory. I cannot imagine the rush of emotions you must be feeling right now. I wish you a very healthy and happy life :)

  • dude, the girl from thailand is also a dude, i hope u dont find out the hard way.

    lol jk kthanksbye

  • It's so tough to pick a favourite out of so many favourites... I don't even know If I could pin point a winner, but only one that come to mind first, which was the olympic gold medal game in my hometown of Vancouver and Crosby scoring the game winner and watching the whole city erupt, you felt like you were a part of something much bigger then a game.

  • My favorite memory was my first kiss.

  • thumbs up if you live in chicago!!!!

  • anybody else think they heard their phone vibrating during this video?

  • I REALLY WANNA PLAY IN cHICAGO!!

  • Chicago... I love my city.

  • Makes my soul smile from the inside...

  • some people have some shitty ass memories lol

  • i know this is very insporatinol n shit. but look at this girls neck at 2:38 ,,, JUST FUCKING LOOK AT IT :O

  • @nickzabuzanick that scared me for a second :D damn hair

  • Awesome video. Did anyone say anything about the American dream? I am curious about that if anyone ever has, their favourite memories all make them smile

  • people realy have crappy lifes considering how boring their memories seemed

  • sweet home, chicago

  • this was great. except for that one gay kid and his mother, i had so much respect for how close they were... until they said their favorite memory was lady gaga. then the kids like "put the claw up"

    UGH. still, uplifting, great video.

  • @mbaicu the director was showing that 'the human experience' isn't something that is restricted by race or sexual orientation

  • @mbaicu

    What?! I'm a straight guy and I think Lady Gaga is AWESOME! Plus, it's "favorite memory", I for one thought his confession was really sweet and came from the heart. Paws Up!

  • @TickleMeElmo55 idk then, you do you, im not gonna tell you what to listen to but i think post 1st album lady gaga is obnoxious and tries too hard to force her ideology down the throat of her listeners.

  • just beautiful, really really beautiful, well done.

  • I'm from Chicago. Been here for seven years. One of my favorite memories was when I went on a trip with my best friend in Puerto Rico to visit his uncle, who lived in the mountains. I remember sharing and playing with our toys in the back seat until we fell asleep. When I woke up we were already in the mountain area. I remember how beautiful it looked and how soft the world felt with the sun hitting us through the trees. I miss my friend. We still talk on FB, but we each have our own lives...

  • i dont know why but im crying so much right now

  • @Morgleberries haha, not to worry, your just human. I think if you dont feel a little emotional about this video there is something wrong with you!

  • This is REAL TV and a great social commentary on a lovely place and contented, happy, focussed people. It made my day -and can't wait to get the cam gear out & start strolling around the next town I visit. Best wishes from Always Sunny, North Wales

  • I LOVE THIS !

  • The last day of school before Christmas! Every single year!

  • when I was a kid, my dad used to take out his Nintendo Entertainment System after dinner. my sisters and I used to gather around and watch him play Super Mario 3 for hours, only stopping to hand us the controller during the puzzle games. when bedtime came around, it felt like we'd been playing for years.

  • can you please come to Toronto? Or more specifically Burlington, Ontario? Cause i'd be there in a heart beat. Just to watch even. I dunno. Be apart of something great. if not i'll be watching, these videos are amazing :) Well done sir, well done.

  • My favourite memory is when I went bungee jumping shortly after my thirteenth birthday. That year my mother was turning forty, and we decided that since 13 and 40 are deemed important dates, we'd do something special. So we both jumped off a bridge. The feeling as I fell was incredible, it felt like it took an hour for the first bounce. I've never had another experience quite like it.

  • i live in chicago, after living in a suburb right next door all my life. this city has to many memories to offer. im glad someone came to this city to make a video

  • This makes me happy :)

  • I love this city!

  • Hands down, watching the 40th Anniversary Concert of Soul Train in Millennium Park and broadcasting that to my parents over FaceTime. Chicago was amazing! A cultural experience like non-other.

  • best ad for chicago ive ever seen. 

  • should have been filthy people not fifty people but anyway......

  • the mother and daughter going to the lady gaga concert part was very touching.

  • I was standing on the shore of Lake Michigan with my friends watching a blizzard. The snow was so thick and the light so pale that everything had gone soft gray-yellow as far as I could see. I was thinking about graduating college, leaving these people who had become my family and the possibility of never seeing them again, or forgetting them as I grew old, and I started to cry. My friend didn't say anything, but handed me the most perfect birch bark curl I've ever seen. I still have it.

  • LOVE this. little teary in the morning, but LOVE this.

  • My favourite memory was meeting my long-distance girlfriend for the first time. We'd met online via a mutual friend and a few months later, her mother brought her over to England from France for the Summer in 2009. A few hours after we initially met face-to-face, we shared our first kiss in the rain, by the sea. It was incredible. Almost three years have passed since then, and though distance still separates us for months at a time, we're just as strong as ever :)

  • Lovely video.

    My favourite memory ever would be being 16 in Paris with my father and standing outside the Notre Dame and hearing the bells start to ring.

  • It's kinda silly, but my favorite memory has never happened. It's having bubble gum ice cream with my grandfather, who died before I was born. But I have this prefect memory of sitting at an old picnic table, licking the blue ice cream off my hands.

  • @FlutterFoxFly I'm so sorry to hear that you never got a chance to meet your grandfather. It's so wonderful of you to 'remember' him in such a way. Be strong :)

  • My favorite memory was my own graduation, and going through commencement. You don't realize how much you miss school, no matter how crappy it was, until it's gone. It's the one time where you spend the most time with friends doing stupid stuff while trying to avoid getting detention. We take advantage of that and I'm so thankful that I got to graduate.

  • My favourite memory was the first time I galloped on a horse. Learning to canter I remember being very scared at the time, but when I first galloped it took me by complete surprise how much I loved that feeling.

  • My favorite memory is when I almost died. You don't realize how much you love life until you are just about to lose it.

  • the captain at 3:09 made me a little misty eyed

  • So far, it's the times I've spent doing nothing with my Wife. Just doing nothing and enjoying each others presence.

  • Summers spent on Shelter Island. At night, beneath a blanket of stars so wide I could hear the echo of the Milky Way, we'd drive through shining, empty ebony roads dashed with gold, leafed sentinels in parade formation as we passed in our red sports car, top down, cutting through the pregnant fullness of night. I sat in the back seat, my head perched between my parents, staring at the stars and dreaming, my parents' hands folded in love on the leather armrest.

  • my best friend is at 2:00. LOVE YOU NICK!!

  • Who disliked this? Really?

    Anyway, great video

  • money doesnt lead to happiness??

  • Finally someone captures how beautiful my city is. Thank you for making me proud and giving Chicago such positive attention!

  • Making love with my favorite girl in a loft bed in jamaica. The light from the pool reflected on the ceiling.

    The smell of summer peaches in the garage.

  • My favourite memory... stealing glances at my boyfriend while he's driving through the winter night on our first date. The snowflakes were beautiful, like crystals dancing in the air.

  • What is your favorite memory? Would be grateful if you took the time to share. Thanks so much for all the positive feedback. Inspirational to hear life stories and experiences.

  • @Brandnua My favorite memory was when I visited New York to see where my grand father lived, part of my heritage fell in place that day :)

  • I cried. I never cry. Made me think about my own favourite memory. My memory is very bad. I cannot remember things I want to. Thank you.

  • Really great video!

    I feel a need to point out 2:38 though.

    That... called for a double take.

  • Exceptional camera work! Great editing! You could produce a show based on this theme. Have you seen cash cab show. Your video is better and would touch people in special way with so many current world problems. Take this on the road! for tv! Good Luck! I live in north suburbs of Chicago. Keep in touch.

  • Loving this, bringing back lots of great memories of living in this City with your beautiful shots as well as the fun people.

  • Absolutely fantastic! Beautifully shot, excellent concept!

  • some of those shots are ultra pretty. Makes a great advert for visiting Chicago. Can you make Dublin seem this pretty??.

  • @polpotsdog Thanks so much for lovely comments. I agree, I need to do one soon in Dublin- the city speaks for itself, it is one of the nicest in the world from the Dublin Mountains ,music, universities, museums...not to mention our people... 'Eire agus na míle Fáilte' - Ireland and the thousand welcomes!

  • classic vid, expect alot of hits!

  • @jamesthehead Thanks a million Jimmy. Glad you enjoyed.

  • Beautifully shot. I've gotta go to Chicago!

  • @Lukiebaggs You sure do. You would love it Luke. The architecture is simply beautiful not to mention the people.

  • Brand Spankin Nua!! This is great

  • @Knockanstockan Thanks so much guys.
