Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

Should Chris try competitive Pokémon?

I don't remember where, but I heard someone actually battled Chris online before or something. From what I rember he basically switched between using random moves for the sake of using them and going all out and just attacking with the same move over and over. Yknow, the typical stuff you'd probably expect from a tard like him.

It was in this forum. I'm too lazy/tired to look it up though. I'm 99% sure it's in the nuzlocke discussion thread though.

A Youtube user by the name of VideoAndA has synched up the infamous recycling video to the Sirius satellite radio shock jocks Opie and Anthony's commentary on it. Enjoy.

He already tried competitive TCG. That ended with him being racist to small children.

*chuckle* imagine him trying out some "real" sports, like coaching a soccer team in the retardation league.

What do you expect Coach Chris to do? He's in such bad health that writing scores down would probably trigger a heart attack.

This needs an entry on the CWCki.

Crash into slumber, and the team is automaticly ten times better.

To be fair, that is how race tends to be framed in the United States. "Ethnic" almost always is used as a codeword for "black," and Latinos, First Nations, Arabs, South Asians and other non-whites tend to be lumped together with blacks one way or another. In a way, its actually interesting that Chris puts Native Americans, Latinos and Asians closer to whites. Of course, as I said above, part of that may be due to his self-identification as "part Cherokee," as well as his high school Spanish class and his interest in Japanese pop culture. Still, its much more progressive than we might give him credit for. On the other hand, his depictions of other cultures tend to be on par with everything else he's done in life. Unga Wunga springs to mind...

Nonono, I was saying that Chris thinks that, if you're not black, you're white. So he would be associating all groups that aren't black with white.

But of course, he can't distinguish black people from other groups by anything but skin tone. Maybe an afro might tip him off, but otherwise, Chris can't notice anything subtle, like facial characteristics. It's like how he also doesn't notice subtle differences between the sexes. He doesn't notice that women's bodies have wider hips than men, or things like that. The best he can do is: boobs? check. no dick? check. it's a woman. (heh, and if you have boobs, but still have a dick, you're a woman-in-training, like Bailey Jay from the mailbag emails)

I think that the best Chris can do is skin tone, and when you get dark enough, you set off Chris black person alarm.

so he recycles material from Family Guy and other sources, often failing to get the original joke entirely or not recognizing the cultural reference because he was so sheltered (and genuinely uninterested in the world around him) that he never watched, read or listened to any of the things he's trying to "parody."

It's been my experience that a LOT of Family Guy fans follow this pattern.

Indeed, many of the greatest comedies experience trouble with this either directly or indirectly. For Chris to understand jokes, it seems they have to be spoon-fed to him and that ruins it. Therein lies the reason for many of the failures of Chris and his characters' attempted humor. Offering jokes to others in the comics themselves didn't help improve quality too much either.

Yeah. Didn't Chris think Emily was Asian, but it was really because of her glasses?

 

[Le Bateleur]

I'm puzzled by the monologue at the epilogue of Sonichu #0, after the battle with the ill-proportioned Zapdos, as Sonichu watches Christian drive off on his Love Quest. Sonichu muses that "in the end, he'll say "one girlfriend please". Because he'll probably fail again...I'm proud to have a brave father."

Is this a glimmer of self-awareness? Is Sonichu - and, by extension, Chris as the author - acknowledging how clumsy Chris is in approaching women?

Chris thought Emily was Asian, but Bob thought it was because of her glasses. Could go either way.

Chris also thinks he's a descendant of Anne Boleyn and various Cherokee chiefs. He's not the sharpest tool in the Chandler shed. The Anne Boleyn connection is kind of funky though, like how the hell did he come up with that, Barb trying to make their family tree a little more interesting then the usual alcoholic coupled cousins?

He's retarded.

Well, I think fatty used the wrong word with the Anne Boleyn thing. He confused "descendant" with "distantly related." Because at least some of the connections were cousins, not actual descendants. I find "descendant" to be a lot more interesting than "distantly related," because shit, eventually all of humanity is "distantly related."

fun fact: it's believed that all blue eyes stem from a mutation in a single individual living in Romania whereabouts in about 4000 BC. (which also means my parents are related to each other sooner than the original advent of humanity)

Well, to be fair, Europian royalty was essentially alcoholic coupled cousins.

Or siblings if their children were even unluckier.

 

[Randall Fragg]

Yeah, most European royal families ended up going Deliverance. That's probably related to why most of them collapsed, like the Hapsburgs. After a few generations they end up with someone like Chris on the throne and it all goes to shit. I mean, look at Charles II of Spain. His mother was his father's niece and he himself was severely mentally disabled.
