PHOTOS: Meet Craigery Morgan, The Web’s Handsome New Lip-Syncing Viral Star
Spreading around everywhere from Reddit to RealJock.com, this video of buff Orlando-based gay hotty Craigery Morgan lip synching to Saturday Night Live‘s “Surprise Party” skit is adorbs. In just two days the Kristin Wiig riff clocked nearly 700,000 views, making Morgan an insta-viral star. The former Abercrombie & Fitch store staffer grew up in Anaheim (as my social network stalking says) 20-year-old University of Central Florida junior (apparently there is somebody in California impersonating Craigery!) also recorded himself performing the hilarious “Jamie Lee Curtis / Activia” skit, and now it’s your job to blow that one up too.
And, bless him, super over-achiever Penelope.

Did I mention I went around the web to scope my new crush? Photos inside.
This is good…but this is a MUST see hilarious song!

C’mon Queerts…….there are a kizillion hot dudes on the internets prancing around lipsychin, and vlogging……..It took foreva to see Davey Waveys junk (whatever happened to him? did he stop delivering to someone in Queertyland??? :p)…….
Unless first time outta the gate we get to see the goods pleeze pass on ‘em………

He’s cute and all but I don’t see what the “talent” is. Eh, whatever.
He was hot till I pressed play and he literally ripped his balls to shreds before my eyes. I don’t see the point in getting that buff to be that ladylike. False advertising.

I know Craig personally and while he is somewhat of a famewhore (and fully admits it, this kid has almost nothing to hide) it doesn’t make him any less of a complete cuddly, sweetheart. He deserves all of the good stuff that this random video has brought to him.

wow….. so much jealous on here today…..

It’s extremely amusing to me that he already has fanboys and over a million views on that uninteresting video just because he’s attractive.
If an average looking person attempted this same video it wouldn’t even have received views in the first place.
Talk about transparent. Your desperation is seriously showing if you think anything is special about this video, especially if you’re defending it from criticism.
Feel free to admit you’re using it for jack off material but pretending he’s some talented star about to break out in the industry is pathetic at best.

@alan brickman: No, Alan Dickman. It’s not jealousy, it’s honesty. Know the difference.

I don’t get it. What’s so great about someone who’s devoid of real talent? It’s like linking to a drag queen and saying she’s the cat’s pajamas for lip-syncing to someone else’s vocal ability. This just happens to be a pocket-gay who always seems to have misplaced his shirt.
He’s cute, but judging on his face and body form, these are going to be his best years. Hope he enjoys the hell out of them.

I for one think this guy is HILARIOUS! He’s got a real comic talent. And it doesn’t hurt that he can’t seem to find a shirt. No complaints here. Who says gorgeous guys can’t be funny? He reminds me of Ryan Reynolds. Keep ‘em comin’, Craigery!

And the Haterade doth floweth freely.
Damn dudes where’s your whimsy and sense of fun?
So anyone who has a video on Youtube in which they appear is a famewhore?
Anyone who works out is vapid?
Anyone who is proud of their body is self-absorbed?
You cannot create a personality profile of a strange from a few random Youtube videos.
Taste is subject and to my taste, the cutiepie has some great comic timing and obviously doesn’t take himself too seriously because he’s willing to have fun and be silly on camera (a pretty healthy trait in a 20-year old college student)
You’re not forced to look even if Queerty posts 100 videos of him so why get all huffy about the posts being here.
Talk about cultivating a culture of negativity, shaming, cruelty and judgment in which all kinds of bullying (online and off) thrives.
If had a shirt on half of you would be screaming “Take your shirt off, show us your ass”
If he was chubby you’d be screaming for him to put his shirt back on.
Ridiculous.
College kids having fun is a good thing and if he is gay and he’s got the self-esteem to be on Youtube being silly with his friends GOOD FOR HIM!!
Hopefully he won’t become some bitter, hateful, bile-spewing gay man 20+ years from now who lives to say nasty stuff about folks on the Internet just for the “fun” of it.
People using “A&F-type” like it’s an insult. PLEASE!

Just Honesty??? More like self loathing misery to me…What a bunch of jealous “Gay Bullies’ on here…..The slur on my name…how many years at payless shoe store did it take someone to come up with that?…

@pete: Cut the kid some slack. He is 20 and cute. Weren’t we all self absorbed at that age? The problem only becomes truly apparent when you get to 30 and you are still self absorbed. Hell I live in a city FULL of self absorbed 30-40 years olds. Its disgusting and the main reason I DONT do bars. ;)

@Hilarious “I don’t see the point in getting that buff to be that ladylike” – now I know what internalised homophobia means. Do muscles = masculine?
That’s what makes him funny – the juxtaposition of male an female – gays get to mix it when we want to.
If I want porn I go to xtube. If I want cute guys being funny then Craigery is the real deal.
FYI – it’s called acting that thing he is doing. You know f**k all about him.

PS couldn’t take him out on the town either, I’d be too afraid he’d nelly up to the bar.
I had the hottest guy in bed and we were go’in at it, and he started screaming in this high voice, “twist my titties twist my titties!” needless to say it was a dick dropper and I showed him the front door. There are some guys that you just don’t want to take the time to reprogramm.

@Crispin
Thank you for summing up my feelings in a much better way then I feel I can. Your comment really hit the nail on the head.
I am sure that most of you posting are much younger then I am, but that has nothing to do with how totally wrong I feel a lot of your posts are.
Besides a few comments on my youtube channel:(2(X)ist)I never post. But I felt I needed/wanted to on this site I accidentally stumbled on.
Nelly…some guys that you just don’t want to take the time to reprogram…frivolous queen…I wish you guys who posted those and other negative, hurtful comments would watch a video entitled “The Butch Factor”. A documentary on what is considered a proper way to behave, to present your self, if you are gay. There is one subject to especially pay attention to. I’m sorry, I cannot remember his name. A friend (straight) bought me this for my Birthday and I have not watched it in a few months. The subject, who happens to be very feminine, made one point that stooped me cold, because I had never really thought about it that way. The same comments that have been posted on here were comments he had heard all his life from the “straight world”. He had been bullied, ridiculed, taunted, even threatened, because of his femininity. Until one day he said eff it and came to school dressed in a fashion that represented his true self. What hit home was that he said the same comments he had heard all his life from the ‘straight world’ were then brought into the ‘gay world’ by guess who? US! What defines masculinity? The way we dress? The Dodge Ram sitting in our drive way? The way we walk, talk? Catching the pass from the quarter back? If you think that is what defines a man, then I truly feel sorry for you.
As for this wonderful young man that I just happened to come across (divine intervention?) last week on youtube lip syncing the Saturday Night Live skit. I say Thank you! You are very talented, funny, and yes gorgeous. But more important is what you say you are looking to achieve, and that is give laughter to other people. You succeeded for me, and I know hundreds of thousands of others. I am not going to go into my personal life. But I needed a laugh that day. I have not laughed since May 10th and I am grateful for the blessing you have been given, the blessing I received that day.
Oh and Craigery….thanks for turning me on to Lady Gaga! At least to ‘Bad Romance’ (hard core Madonna fan). You and your FRIENDS were hysterical. I put friends in all capitals to emphasize the fact that I know you are a true friend to those you call your friends, I can feel it! And your laugh…well, right now it’s doing a better job then my meds.
Keep on doing what you are now. It’s a real turn on to see you being true to your self. In fact, you remind me of myself at that age. I was hysterical and kept my friends in stitches. Only I hid my true self for over 32 years. I can’t get those back, nor the good men (my true love who was very feminine)who I gave up because I was scared of being true to myself.
Our world is in trouble….can we fix it?
Sorry for the long post!
Be Proud
Live Out Loud
P.S. Check out a movie titled ‘The Bubble’. I have never had a movie affect me like this. I’m a huge movie buff and constantly on the prowl for a movie worthy to be added to my Library. I watched it the other night, and after it was over, I literally could not move for over 10 minutes. I replayed the last scene 2 or 3 more times. Don’t let the cover fool you. After you watch the movie it will make sense.
It ended (from a sleepy memory) with voice over saying: Can we stop the hate? Maybe, but I doubt it.

This kid is 20 years old and having fun! Plus he’s stupid hot. And he’s totally gay – he was out in high school and he’s out in college on campus here at UCF. How many of you can say the same when you were 20?
Stop judging already! Gays need to stop tearing each other down and apart and start promoting each other and celebrating in success as a community!!
Way to go Craig! You have a ton of supporters – don’t let the vocal minority stop you!

His name is Craig Morgan, Craigery was an old nickname. He’s from small town, Florida. He’s one of the most down to earth, sweetest guys I know. I died when I found out he was gay. He is absolutely hilarious. This video is not an indication of his talent. He has an old Youtube account from high school, but that has a lot of people including names, so I won’t be divulging that information. Classes with him in HS were the best. He’s funny, smart, sweet, and he was always willing to listen. He isn’t self absorbed, he just takes care of himself.
He’s a wonderful person, don’t judge someone based on a little joke video with friends.

LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
