Amelia Dimoldenberg started her "Chicken Shop Date" video series as a university student, taking British rappers out to eat and stonewalling them with silly questions and a straight face. Since then, she's added globally recognized actors and superstar musicians like Ed Sheeran and Cher to her romantic repertoire and has been tapped to lend her awkward charm to red carpets hosting at the Brit Awards, Golden Globes, and Oscars.
We've curated the tensest tête-à-têtes and wildest exchanges from Chicken Shop Date in this list of Dimoldenberg's finest poultry-focused work.
1. Ghetts
British rapper Ghetts was Chicken Shop Date's first guest and set the tone for the entire series, so his episode is required watching.
2. Chunkz and Yung Filly
Dimoldenberg's date with Chunkz and Yung Filly is one of her most-watched for a reason: she plays the best friends off each other in dueling dates to the tune of Yung Filly's raucous laugh.
3. Cher
Do you believe in life after love? Cher does, and she shares her straightforward tips for dating into your seventies with Dimoldenberg.
4. Jack Harlow
Harlow and Dimoldenberg seem to have real chemistry, and it's hard not to be charmed by his bad British accent. By the end, the rapper's charisma comes close to making Dimoldenberg break character.
5. Jennifer Lawrence
Lawrence weaves her unpredictable humor into this friendly date as she and Dimoldenberg discuss everything from murder to star signs.
6. Louis Theroux
This iconic video birthed the top TikTok sound of 2022 — the tune "My money don't jiggle, jiggle" — and is one of the show's deepest meals to date. Theroux is almost too earnest for Amelia, creating a vibe that's more wholesome than romantic.
7. Keke Palmer
Keke Palmer and Dimoldenberg feel more like besties than baes but the love is still palpable.
8. Nella Rose
Nella Rose, the bubbly YouTuber behind the viral "Are you not ashamed of yourself, are you not embarrassed?" meme brings out Amelia's best physical comedy in this delightful match up.
9. Dutchavelli
The appeal of Dimoldenberg's exchange with deep-voiced rapper Dutchavelli is summed up by a top comment under the video: "I love how she gets tough men [to] giggle like school boys, it's hilarious."
Bonus: Jesse Lingard and Bernardo Silva
Although not technically a chicken shop date (it takes place in a stadium cafeteria), this double header contrasts a soft-spoken and sometimes confused Bernardo Silva with the more outgoing Jesse Lingard. It's one of Dimoldenberg's best attempts at scoring a boo.
