Chris Crocker (born December 1987) is an openly gay Tennessee-based[5] YouTube and MySpace personality and self-described edutainer who produces and acts in transgressive videos. According to Crocker, safety concerns over death threats he has received have forced him to keep his identity and exact location private. His work consists mainly of short-form self-directed "monologues about life" shot in his grandparents' home. As of October 2007, Crocker's videos have received a combined 34.9 million plays on MySpace,and his vlog channel on YouTube is the 15th most viewed of all time in all categories, with over 42 million views.

Although he has produced dozens of videos, Crocker gained international notoriety from his viral video tearfully defending Britney Spears's "lackluster MTV comeback" with over four million views in two days. The video received international media attention, as well as generating death threats for the androgynous teenager.

Crocker's detractors and critics have accused him of melodramatics, histrionics, and using Spears' personal shortcomings to bolster his own fame. Others have accused Crocker of acting in the "Leave Britney Alone" video,
although he insisted that it was a genuine "blog from the heart" on a September 20, 2007 appearance on the Maury Povich show. Psychologist Kevin Leman noted that voyeuristic fascination with celebrity "says that we live in a morally corrupt society", and that Crocker is a good example of the narcissistic look-at-me generation of attention-seeking mongers.

On September 18, 2007, Variety revealed that Crocker has signed a development deal with 44 Blue Productions to star in a documentary-style reality television show.
