Comic Book Shopping With My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way | Cool Accidents 

He reads books. I read books. Let’s read books

*Forgets that Gerard’s voice isn’t crazy and loud like in his songs and is actually very soft and calm*

background music: NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA his voice: yea so this is my favourite favourite book- its dune!

I like how they're playing this really energetic mcr song in the background while gerard is just like "here are some books that i really like"

What a king What an icon What a legend

this video should be titled "Gerard way being a cute nerd for 3 minutes straight"

If I were in that store, I’d be looking at him, thinking, “that guy looks a lot, like ‘Gerard Way’ from MCR”, then go about my business; never knowing that was actually ‘Gerard Way’.

Gees singing voice: *fabulous satan with style Gees normal voice: *that one kid named Calvin

imagine being in a book store and then you see gerard walking by casually

I wanna go comic shopping with Gerard Way.

The MOST adorable nerd ever. I could honestly listen to him talk nerdy all day.

He's so beautifully nerdy and awkward we don't deserve him

Me: wow he looks like he did 5 years ago The description: "filmed in 2015..." Me: right

How in the HELL are people walking around Gee so calm and collected?!?

my dream is literally to have gerard way pick up a comic of mine and say "this is my favourite" and then i could make it into a show or movie or something. *we all can dream*

People underestimate just how much of a genius musician he is..

He has no body armor and hes wearing the brightest colors and it makes no sense

Nobody: Gerard: Robin's costume is my favorite because it's so dangerous We don't deserve this man

Batman: “hey kid wear this bright colored looking suit, so everyone shoots at you while I do my thing” Robin: “Holly heart failure Batman, that sounds dangerous, but ok”

Age doesnt match up with Gerard way in his 20s he looked like a teen, In his 30s he still looked like a teen and now he looks like hes in his 20s Gerard DOES NOT FRIKIN AGE HE IS A VAMPIRE

When I was a young boy my father took me into the city to buy a bongo comic

he actually reads manga...

When you look at Gerard you always see such a small, gentle little being. He seems incredibly modest, shy even, and it would be easy to just look right past him. You almost forget that this is the absolute badass, sexy beast, with a voice that can tear down buildings. From three cheers to hesitant alien, this man is a fucking demon.

I'd love to be friends with him. Not because he's famous but just because of his personality but alas I am 13

he cures my depression. not only in music but also by being a nerd

It’s hard to believe he’s 42, he looks so much younger

*Fun fact:* Akira is extremely historically significant in media because the comic was turned into a movie, and that movie (also titled Akira) was well received not only in Asian countries but also in Western and other countries. It popularized anime in other cultures and thus paved the way for many anime we know and love today!

Imagine walking around the comic store, and there’s just this guy being filmed, talking about his favorite comic books.

When watching this it occurred to me I have never heard Gerard talk

This should be titled "Gerard Way surrounded by crazy people who don't react to his presence"

0:41 Klaus: your favorite book is Dune Dave: a ha, I haven't even read Dune. Klaus: not yet, but you will.

Nobody: Me: he likes Neil Gaiman and docter who...... good omens

"I love Robin, I'm so obsessed with Robin's costume because it is so incredibly dangerous, like he has no body armor and he's wearing the brightest costume it makes no sense." 😂 You have to love him.😂

White hair again, Well I think The Black Parade Is back.

Alternative title: Gerard Way fanboying for 3 minutes and 20 seconds

Others: He's so chill when he's not singing about blood, death, vampires and teenagers. Me: I'll sleep with either version ThankYouVeryMuch.

Can we take a moment and appreciate that he still wears eye liner for men

"I love Robin, I'm so obsessed with Robin's costume because it's so incredibly dangerous like he has a whole body armor and he's wearing the brightest colors and makes no sense." Yes, we stan this man.

I love how he calls everything "so strange" it just makes me so happy

i like how almost everyone there is just super chill about Gerard, like MCR is an indie cover band and hes just a nerdy dude that tours comic shops.

Gerard: shopping Me: jamming to Na Na Na

I love how he’s just looking past the camera and like ignoring it just talking to the camera man like the cameras not there

He sounds like me explaining why I hate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. “Yeah so like, I just don’t think the jelly mixes well with thick peanut butter. Yeah I just don’t like it because it doesn’t taste or feel good to eat you know?”

"This is my favorite favorite book. Dune by Frank Herbert." You saying that made me a fan of yours for life.

Gee being “dorky” and “nerdy” is so adorable to me omg

Ah he's so cute! And I don't mean this in a soppy fan girl way either. Just seems like a wholesome down to earth person! In all seriousness, if I was working in a comic store and he walked in, I'd have 0 chill 😂

It never fails to astonish me how much Gerard Way looks so much more like a comic book writer than a rock star and like... that's not a read I swear.

Gerard Way remind me a lot of like Quentin Tarantino when he talks about stuff he cares about. Like you can tell he's one of the people that ACTUALLY knows everything about something, they aren't just faking it for attention or trying to rub it in your face.

"Okay Robin, you go be the target and I'll go do my job." OMG HES SO RIGHT

I refuse to believe he's only 5 years younger than my mother.

I love this kind of videos, cuz it shows this calm, "nerdy" part of him Being an absolute fan of Doctor Who, Neil Gaiman & Dune I've been really happy to know that even tho I'll probably never meet him in person, unfortunately, we share some passions, some traits. Even tho I won't meet him personally, next June I'll see My Chem in concert for the first time, in Paris, and I'm very excited !

I love how he describes all the things he loves as "strange looking", idk it just feels fitting

gerard should not be known for being "the guy from mcr" he should be known for his talent his originality

This is the most adorable thing I have seen he is such a little muffin

I love his voice it’s actually so calming and relaxing

His voice is so soft and quiet. Compared to his music, I didn't even recognize it! I saw the title and his face and it took like a solid minute out of this video to get used to his voice lmao

I know that this is five years ago but gosh he’s so freaking pretty...

THIS WAS IN AUSTRALIA MY COUNTRY IVE BEEN IN THAT SHOP IVE BEEN THERE GERARD WAS IN MY COUNTRY GERARD WAS IN A STORE THAT IVE BEEN IN MY CHEM WAS IN MY COUNTRY WHAT

It's weird to listen to him talk because he has such a classic nerdy voice that just seems to dissapear when he sings. It's beautiful in a way because he likely got bullied for it in school and now he's a fucking legend.

The people around him must not be fans. Or they just don't know it's him, because he isn't screaming... Still love ya

That one dislike was Mikey because they didn't take him

his analysis of Robin's colors is on point, that's precisely the reasoning. That's how you know he's a true comic book geek.

Love that Dave in umbrella Academy has the same favorite book as Gerard

1 minute in and I'm JUST noticing that 'Na Na Na' is playing in the background lmao

1:09 when he showed that art style, I literally was thinking in my head "hey, that looks like the same style as the cover of Revolver by the Beatles. And then he said it. Bruh what.

i’m definitely into nerdy guys it’s confirmed

everyone: *MCR IS SATANIC AND SCARYYYY* most if the member: i like comics, cause the way they are, this is my favourite!

the umbrella academy creator like literally still processing this. legendary

This is the personality i like about Gerard way. His passion on arts, drawing and resding comic books

I want someone to look at me the way Gerard looks at comics.

I went to this exact shop last year and then after a month I watched this video and was like “GERARD WAY WENT TO THIS COMIC BOOK STORE?!”

He's precious. I love how he's like, "I like comics. Comics are cool." And he's so akward it gives me hope.

I mean it’s not that weird that he knows a lot about comic books. He created Peni Parker.

Gerard: *casually strolls around book store and talks about books and comics* Me: *furisously adding stuff to my book list* (gee is the greatest lol)

I can't believe he is one of the creators of umbrella academy, such a talented guy.

This guy is so down to earth qnd is such a lovely chap. He was doing a gig in my home town in the U.K. My friend took his daughter to watch it and she was a massive fan. After the show they waited outside with it hammering down with rain just to get a glimpse of him up close. And my friend said he he came up and spoke to everyone waiting and signed autographs. His daughter got emotional and cried Gérard asked if he could give her a hug and gave her a nice one. My friend said thank you to him and he said it was his pleasure. Then he turned to my friend qnd went do you want a hug. And my mate laughed and went nah its OK. Gerard laughed and said don't be silly everyone wants a hug and gave him a bro hug. Ever since my mate told me that story been fascinated by the man. Just seems a really cool guy.

I’ve been in this store a hundred times. If I saw him I would have lost my mind 😵

"Destroya Destroya well I'm waiting for ya"

Im just imagining that he probably takes his daughter comic shopping and he probably geeks out while showing her all the stuff he really likes while she's just like "yeah okay" ToT

I’m still in love with Gerard, and I’ve been listening since “Helena” was on MTV. He’s just amazingly talented.

Who else was hoping this video was from 2019? 😔

2:08 the girl with blue hair looked hyped to see him, so hyped that she walked away quickly

he seems so nervous but excited about what he’s talking about 🥺

Gerard is such a calm and lovely human!!! I just love his personality you can tell he is q genuine person. 💜💜💜💜 so glad he is doing well!

Who else thinks this is cute and wholesome cause he is just like a little nerd . He is a lot more laid back then he use to be.

Oh okay this is from 2015 because now as about to say like holy crap he lost a lot of weight way too quickly.

So glad this is the person who saved my life

God he is such a nerd i love him

I love this man so much

MCR: we are reunited! Band in rehearsal: Where's Gerard? Gerard: *just comic book shopping* Edit: I really want to thank everyone who liked my comment. It's probably the best thing that's happened on my RU-vid channel. Thank you all. I'm hoping he won't be comic book shopping during the uk reunion shows XD

Fun fact: the current MCR logo is a candle with a sigil in the middle that appears to be based on the band's name, meaning it might have been created using one of Grant Morrison's techniques.

Gerard Way always makes me feel like it's fine to just be me

He did not seem comfortable on camera yo

I didn’t expect to fall for him again after 10 years

Just imagine your walking in a book store and you bump in to Gerard Way.

Oh, cool, they're filming in Minotaur Books in Melbourne, Australia. Tristan "T Rex" Jones, a comic artist who has worked on IDW Ghostbusters and both Mirage and IDW TMNT comics, works the register there some days.

Blows me away that he is Joe Rogans cousin...for real he is look it up.

Count how many times Gerard says "strange".

Gerard loving the Tom Baker era of Doctor Who, yessss Would you like a Jelly Baby?

He sounds like he would call me a loser but also give me a hug
