Prior to now two years, she’s taken her awkward appeal to the crimson carpet, internet hosting interviews on the Brit Awards and the Golden Globes, the place she had very actual chemistry in a widely-viewed trade with Andrew Garfield(Opens in a brand new tab).
As an Amelia stan (a rooster store chick? A nugget? One in every of Amelia’s Bedelias? Nonetheless workshopping a fandom title…) I assumed it solely proper to level new followers within the path of a few of her finest poultry-focused work.
1. Chunkz and Yung Filly
I might by no means heard of Chunkz or Yung Filly earlier than watching their Rooster Store Date and now I am going to always remember them. Between explaining the that means of “bundas” and razzing Yung Filly’s raucous snicker, the duos’ date is one in all Dimoldenberg’s most-watched for a purpose.
2. Jack Harlow
Harlow and Dimoldenberg have actual chemistry, although from what I’ve seen of Harlow on crimson carpets, he might have chemistry with a brick wall. It is exhausting to not be charmed by his dangerous British accent and pure humor, and Harlow’s charisma comes shut to creating Dimoldenberg break character.
3. Louis Theroux
This iconic video could have birthed the highest TikTok sound of 2022 — the tune “My cash do not jiggle, jiggle” — however Dimoldenberg and Theroux’s sit down is one in all her deepest meals to this point. Theroux is nearly too earnest for Amelia, making a vibe that is extra healthful than romantic.
4. Keke Palmer
Keke Palmer might narrate paint drying and be entertaining, so pairing her up with Dimoldenberg is a sure-fire win. They really feel extra like besties than baes however the love continues to be palpable.
5. Aitch
Regardless of their date going lower than swimmingly (it is exhausting to come back again from telling somebody they resemble a prawn), Amelia and rapper Aitch should have had chemistry outdoors of the rooster store as a result of they ended up courting IRL. Amelia appeared in his music video for “Child(Opens in a brand new tab)” and, although it was most likely a PR stunt, we will all the time hope the love was actual. The pair has since damaged up, however stay pleasant. When “Child” was nominated for track of the yr on the 2023 Brit Awards, Amelia congratulated Aitch on the crimson carpet with a field of things(Opens in a brand new tab) he had left at her place.
6. Nella Rose
Nella Rose, the bubbly YouTuber behind the viral “Are you not ashamed of your self, are you not embarrassed?”(Opens in a brand new tab) meme brings out Amelia’s finest bodily comedy. The 2 dance, giggle, and stumble over their phrases on this really pleasant match up.
7. Dutchavelli
One of many prime feedback on this video is “I like how she will get powerful males [to] giggle like college boys, it is hilarious” and that just about sums up Dimoldenberg’s tete-a-tete with rapper Dutchavelli.
8. Daniel Kaluuya
Daniel Kaluuya walks into the rooster store able to get his flirt on. He makes eyes at Dimoldenberg however deflects her questions on having time for a girlfriend, taking part in exhausting to get. The indicators are blended, however the chemistry is certainly there.
Bonus: Jesse Lingard and Bernardo Silva
Though not technically a rooster store date (it takes place in a stadium cafeteria), this double header contrasts a softspoken and typically confused Bernardo Silva with the extra outgoing Jesse Lingard. It is one in all Dimoldenberg’s finest makes an attempt at scoring a boo.
