The Best Quotes From 'Chaotic'

Britney and Kevin: Chaotic has aged like a piece of chewing gum that’d been haphazardly stuck to the underside of a picnic table nine years ago: When your palm accidentally grazes the piece of fossilized gum, you instinctively yank your hand away, scramble for some hand sanitizer, and wonder why someone would do something so gross. But after you disinfect your mitts, you realize it could’ve been worse. It could’ve been a goopy piece of gum left by a stranger only an hour before you sat down. You are grateful for the time that has passed.

In 2013, Britney Spears told The Telegraph that Britney and Kevin: Chaotic “was probably the worst thing I’ve done in my career.”

I mean, I’m not going to challenge Brit Brit on that one.

After I watched all five episodes of Britney and Kevin: Chaotic back in 2005, I tried to scrub it out of my mind immediately. It was too dark, too weird, too grim, too much. To say it wasn't the documentary this superfan expected would be an understatement.

But when I revisited it in 2014, I found the docuseries to be significantly more palatable, primarily because I knew Britney would go on to make it through the shit tornado that was the mid-'00s. Yes, Chaotic remains a strange watch, but Britney is OK now, and for that I am grateful.

This piece of gum isn’t fresh and goopy anymore, and for that I am grateful.

But stale chewing gum isn't the only thing I'm grateful for: The words that come out of Britney and Kevin's mouths throughout Chaotic are nothing short of gifts. I'm not kidding when I say there are some quotes that made revisiting the show totally worth it. (Am I currently working on memorizing Britney's art monologue? MAYBE.)
