Chris-Chan: A Comprehensive History

I think that Bob and even Barb had hopes for him while he was in school. They sacrificed for him to see that he had a chance for regular schooling and pushed him to do things (perhaps a little too much). But at some point they realized there was no hope and kind of gave up. I think that point was when they realized that the trolling was a big problem and it wasn't going to stop. Bob kept fighting for a little bit with his lumberjack ways, but I think he got tired and didn't have any way of stopping the barreling locomotive of autism that his son was producing. He pulled back and just let Chris do what he was going to do as long as he stayed in his room. After Bob died, Barb figured if you can't beat em, join em, and cynically encouraged Chris to cash in on his notoriety. Bob and Barb in the Manchester High days seem to have been actually working toward something for Chris. But that fell apart like a house of cards, and they didn't have a plan B so they just gave up.
Nah. Bob and Barb were completely self centered and wanted to avoid the appearance/implication of having a 'retard' or a 'loser' for a son. They actively avoided the idea of help for Chris at all. I would say they chose to destroy Chris, through turning a blind eye to his obvious issues, because they didn't want to put their unwarranted pride aside and admit they needed help. They saw the fact that Chris needed help as a bad reflection on themselves. They didn't really sacrifice anything, it was more like accepting loses to get their asses out of dodge. Remember the story from Chris' graduation where he ran out of the ceremony crying? Bob and Barb weren't worried about his feelings, they were upset because he embarrassed them.

That’s a rather uncharitable and at least partially unfair interpretation.

Look, facts are facts and nothing would have been easier than just stick Chris in a tard-home and Bob could have enjoyed his retirement in peace and quiet.

But instead they sacrificed quite a bit and even had Bob move away with just Chris. Looking after an autistic preteen isn’t the easiest thing in the world when you’re in your sixties.


There’s also no evidence of Bob being embarrassed by bringing Chris out in public. Like when he went on a date.

(Church was also always Bob’s gig, and he made to effort to haul Chris along with him, despite knowing that it would mean a good 5-10 minutes of toe curling emberassment as Chris would talk about his lack of a girlfriend or “the twolls” in public during the service.)

Bob and especially Barb had some major failings as parents, but I gotta disagree on much of what you wrote.
 
Just watched this. Is Chris really blaming the neighbour for the egging? I thought I saw a video (might have have been on the CWCki) of some some clown that was not the neighbour egging Chris’s house.

That vid was from a retard and wannabe failtroll who first made a gay a-logging post directed at OPL, and then followed up with a video where he egged the side of his own barn while pretending it was Chris's house and screaming insults like he was baiting Chris outside his window.

Said failtroll had already done the egging of his own place screaming at someone else pretending he was at said person's house there too. The exact same side of his barn. :stupid:

so no. 'twas a clown all right, but not the one you are looking for.

I noticed in part 36 when Bob dies, and the aftermath seems to be the first instance of "prophecy Chris". Where he says he knew Bob was going to die that year because it was told to him in a dream. I guess this would be an evolution of "cartoons are real" and turned into "use imagination to escape existential sorrow". I think at that point there wasn't much anyone could do to shake him from his delusional bastion.

I think it was 2016 when Chris said death would come for Bob. Se he was upset that the Grim Reaper came earlier than what was said to him in a dream. Either way, it's odd he'd believe in a dream so vehemently but it's not new for Chris.

True. Chris started his Love Quest because of a dream. I think if Bob would have put a stop to it instead of playing along with Chris (seems like is was still going on during the Chandler Family Christmas of 04), perhaps Chris would have a grounded structure.
 
Bob and Barb were trying to help Chris when he was in high school. They lived in a different town to help him and they paid people to be his friends. I think his performance at graduation was a wake up call for them that they were investing in someone who had no hope. By the time the love quest came along, all Bob could say was phooey.

Chris started his Love Quest because he got kicked out of community college English class for being an asshole and cried in the hallway without any female to come comfort him like the past times he had a breakdown.
 

Well.. Chris has been thirsting for da female touch ever since his high school days.

Watching his sweet Sarah Hammer shacked up with that JERK surely didn’t help either.

But Chris in his early twenties had too many hormones and too much free time. Something was bound to unleash the sweetheart search, if it hadn’t been this, it would have been something else.
 
Throughout most of Chris' lovequest he wasn't really looking for love, he was just looking for someone to basically mother him and coddle him while he played with toys and blocked out the outside world.
Chris is and has always been heavily motivated by attention. Whatever gives him the most attention will be the person he engages with the most. A plethora of fake girlfriends tricked him on a near constant basis, and it did not matter to him because all that mattered to him was that someone was paying attention to him. Because his lack of any real coping skills or support system he also absorbed primarily negative attention and interactions that reinforced his escape into fantasy.
 
This is late but Geno's apparently slowing down new parts from every 2 weeks to every 3 to 4 weeks.

When Chris was proved not to be able to make even minimum wage at a job, Bob made sure to get him the most money available, and ended up having to take room & board out, and even after Bob died, Barb routinely gets on Chris to give her money. He's their Golden Tard and free government gibs was a big incentive.

But instead they sacrificed quite a bit and even had Bob move away with just Chris. Looking after an autistic preteen isn’t the easiest thing in the world when you’re in your sixties.

They ran away because of the "Greene County Conspiracy", about the county going after their family. Chris was too young to figure any of this out and relied on Borb telling him all about the evil locals trying to make their lives miserable due to Chris acting like a total uncontrolled shithead in school because of poor upbringing. Bob took Chris away because he thought they'd lock him up in the nuthatch and it would look bad on Bob & Barb.

There’s also no evidence of Bob being embarrassed by bringing Chris out in public. Like when he went on a date.

That was more of wanting to protect Chris from "da twolls" more than anything. Not to mention Bob's penchant for wanting to talk to these people on his own accord, probably coming from the fact that outside of Barb and Chris, there really wasn't anyone else in town (or his family) that wanted to know anything about him.

(Church was also always Bob’s gig, and he made to effort to haul Chris along with him, despite knowing that it would mean a good 5-10 minutes of toe curling emberassment as Chris would talk about his lack of a girlfriend or “the twolls” in public during the service.)

They had to end up going to a Korean church. Two WASPs from Virginia just don't leave a comfy local white people church and end up having to go to a foreign one. Look at how Chris bounced from Church to Church. It's really bad when even god's people have enough of your shit.

At that point, why even bother? It's not like God really matters in Chris's own little world these days when he thinks of himself as one.
 
I still believe people here let bob off too easily. People need to realize old people especially the ones raising children are usually retarded enough to assume the kids have a near carbon copy of the environment they themselves grew up in. I guarantee you the love quest was an idea Chris got from bob. Maybe chris fucked it up but im sure bob said that he knew a buddy who did something not even remotely similar back in the 40s and he found a wife because of it. Also bob clearly isnt as amazing at conversations as people think if barb is the whore that snagged him back in the 80s. People dont seem to realize old people have a certain set of stories and bits they can use to impress people and after a few hours the shit ideas start popping up.

Like i said up thread, the idea that Chris could get a job in rural Virginia in autoCAD is absurd and barb wouldnt have let him leave either, remove the autism, fuck it remove everything about Chris and have him be a super athletic genuis with a masters in autoCAD, he still would have a hard time getting a job beyond retail because the opportunities arent there in rural Virginia. If bob wasnt a stupid old fart he would have realized that.

Beyond that some dedicated autist needs to learn how/why his first marriage failed its rather odd that we dont know why bob and barb are the horrible first spouse to other couples but it would be a great indicator of why theyre so fucked up.

Also from what we know of Barb shes essentially Chris with a functioning vagina, i guarantee you none of us would fuck Barb on her best day, so if Bob the Chad considered her a catch you have to imagine how bad his lovequest had failed thus far.

As for when to save Chris, that autism would be his main failing, even taking him away from his parents the way his brain works would fuck him up and keep him from doing most tasks well. Id honestly be surprised if he was any good at the games he plays. Even Chris admitted the way his brain was damaged was preventing him from having a better life. Unless you could fix his brain nothing would have made him improve
