He Never Stood a Chance
Because the best Chicken Shop Dates are the ones with guests who submit to getting pounded into oblivion by Amelia Dimoldenberg.
Andrew Garfield stopped by Chicken Shop Date, Amelia Dimoldenberg’s comedy interview show on YouTube where she subjects celebrity guests to a simulacra of awkward-first-date conversation and well-performed chiding.

On Chicken Shop Date, Dimoldenberg plays a character who’s unabashed and uncompromising in her hunt for a partner, and here we have Garfield emerging as one of many possible Mr. Bigs in the fictional sitcom universe she’s been cultivating for years, not quite rejected by the end but not quite promoted to primary love interest either.
