  • - Why, hello everyone.

  • My name is Tyler Oakley and it is time

  • for another Ask Tyler, let's do it.

  • Emma wants to know, "How has YouTube changed your life?"

  • Well, before I used to do less cool stuff

  • and now I get to do cool stuff.

  • Nicole wants to know, "Can you put this in your video?"

  • Any thing for you, Nicole, but this is the last time.

  • If you were dared to lick a spider

  • for $100,000, will you do it?

  • Bitch, I am poor, yes, I would do that.

  • Are you joking?

  • Are you on drugs?

  • Are you sniffing glue?

  • Yes.

  • Lauren wants to know, "Will you sing your favorite song

  • "off of Midnight Memories."

  • It's really hard for me to pick a favorite song

  • off of Midnight Memories.

  • I am currently very into the song Happily by One Direction.

  • Not because of the sounds of the song

  • but more so the message.

  • I would sing but I'm not drunk.

  • It's 4 AM and I know you're with him.

  • I wonder if he knows that I touched your skin.

  • And if he feels my traces in your hair,

  • sorry, love, but I don't really care.

  • I just think there's something really special

  • about five guys talk about doing their deed

  • in some girl's hair.

  • Dolphineisha wants to know, "What are you top three tracks

  • "from ARTPOP?"

  • That is very hard, I love every thing except

  • Jewels and Drugs, just like everybody else.

  • But I would have to go with, if I had to pick three singles

  • right now: Swine, Manicure and maybe, Aura.

  • Also, mmm, well every thing, all of the songs.

  • Go get ARTPOP, buy ARTPOP on iTunes.

  • Selma wants to know, "How is your stay in Michigan so far?"

  • I am loving Michigan.

  • I got in a couple days ago and I'm here

  • for a couple of weeks so it's so good to be back.

  • Mom!

  • - [Tyler's mom] What?

  • - Come here!

  • So, like I said, I'm back here in Michigan

  • with the one and only...

  • - [Tyler's mom] Hi!

  • - Queen Jackie (laughs), she's back.

  • - Hey, everyone.

  • - Okay, so the people wanna know, how I am enjoying

  • my stay back in Michigan.

  • I told them I've been here for a couple of days

  • but tell them how I got home.

  • - Well, I was invited over to my daughter's house

  • Sunday for dinner, almost didn't go

  • because I didn't feel very good

  • but I thought I'd better go because she invited me

  • and my grandson wanted to see me.

  • So, my grandson and my son-in-law were gone.

  • - Okay, this is getting boring.

  • - Anyway, the doorbell rings and I think it's just

  • my grandson so I'm looking down saying,

  • "Merry Christmas!"

  • And then I looked up and went, "Oh, my God!"

  • - Jesus Christ.

  • - And I screamed and I cried.

  • He told me that he had to work and that he would have

  • to miss Christmas this year, but he could come

  • for Thanksgiving, so I was good about it.

  • I was sad.

  • - She was actually, no, she was very supportive.

  • She was like, "You know what, this year's been huge,

  • "You have to keep working, keep the momentum going.

  • "You do you."

  • - He surprised me so it was awesome.

  • Yeah, I cried.

  • - Okay, that's enough, bye, go.

  • - Alright, good bye.

  • - Bye.

  • If you want another video with my mom,

  • I was thinking about filming something

  • while she's in my presence, so push the thumbs up.

  • Okay, get away (laughs).

  • Honey Bee wants to know, "Are there any tips

  • "tou can give us for becoming a successful Youtuber?"

  • Okay, so my number one tip is to always be your best self

  • because obviously you're going to start Youtubing

  • because you see other people doing it and you're probably

  • going to be inspired by them.

  • But, it's just very transparent when you're just not

  • being authentic to you.

  • So I always say, "Be the first rate you,

  • not the second rate somebody else"

  • because anybody could subscribe to who ever

  • you're trying to imitate but if they want somebody

  • just like you, you're the best they're going to find.

  • So, just do you, I mean that's all I can say.

  • - Okay, so here's a question,

  • "Why didn't you freak out when Zayn followed you?

  • "Meanwhile you made a video when Harry retweeted you?"

  • Okay, I just want to clear this all up,

  • This is how it all happened.

  • I was boarding a plane when Beyonce's album dropped.

  • I was freaking out because Beyonce's album dropped.

  • I tweeted Zayn because Zayn's middle name is Beyonce,

  • so I asked him if he was behind this.

  • He followed me and direct messaged me about my joke

  • and then we were talking and then I tweeted about it

  • and I was freaking out about it.

  • But I was also on a plane.

  • Meanwhile when Harry retweeted me,

  • I was right in front of my computer.

  • So I could film something but when Zayn followed me,

  • I could not.

  • I am not just waiting at my camera

  • at all times of the day waiting for something

  • to happen to me so that I can make a reaction video to it.

  • Also, bigger picture issue of the whole situation

  • is I have seen a lot of people in the One Direction

  • fandom get a little bit upset that I have had

  • some opportunities, that I am very, very grateful

  • for, but then on the Internet, any time that I talk

  • about One Direction, a lot of people will say

  • that I'm using the boys for fame but if I don't talk

  • about the boys then I'm a bad fake fan.

  • It's kind of become a conundrum of no matter what I do

  • in some of these fans' eyes, mind you this is 1%

  • of the One Direction fandom, I am evil.

  • So, I have kind of taken it upon myself to just do

  • whatever the crap I want to do,

  • and if that pleases you, I don't care.

  • If it doesn't please you, I don't care.

  • So, you're going to have to deal with that

  • because I'm just going to do me.

  • "Tell me what your feelings are on this picture.

  • "This is important."

  • I just feel like if there was a page of the Bible

  • that would attract me to becoming a Christian,

  • this would be it.

  • "Do you think if any other musician would have done what

  • "Beyonce did, they'd be as successful?"

  • I think there are a couple of musicians

  • hat could've done it.

  • Adele, One Direction, Justin Timberlake maybe,

  • Lorde could do it.

  • I don't know, I think Beyonce is just the queen.

  • And we all must bow down to her.

  • Her album is fantastic, flawless, is everything.

  • Go get the album.

  • I would say go get the album,

  • but clearly everybody already got the album.

  • Archita wants to know, "When are you getting new glasses?"

  • So this is a question that I get asked

  • like every single day of my life.

  • I change up my glasses every so often,

  • but glasses are really expensive.

  • If you have perfect vision, then you don't know

  • the struggle that is my life.

  • I just discovered Warby Parker,

  • Hannah Hart talked about them in one of her videos.

  • I was like, "Okay, these are $95 which is so inexpensive."

  • And when you buy a pair, they give a pair to people in need.

  • They're just like Toms and I have like ten pairs of Toms.

  • So clearly I was very attracted to that.

  • So I reached out to them because I was like,

  • okay, I wanna talk about them in a video

  • but I want to give the hook up to you guys.

  • So I got you guys the hook up.

  • If you use warbyparker.com/tyleroakley

  • you get free three day shipping for your glasses

  • For the at home trial they will send you five pairs

  • to try on, you don't have to go into a store

  • and talk to any body.

  • You get the pairs, you send back them all, you say you want

  • this one and they'll send you back

  • your prescription glasses.

  • It's kind of amazing, you don't have to talk to anybody.

  • They're perfect for Internet people

  • because you don't have to talk to any body.
