Mirth is a sudden, quick outburst of happy emotion. Such things happen to children when they find the presents they asked for under the tree, or when daddy comes home from the army.

I've seen all the times where Chris, now and then, should be experiencing Mirth, but isn't. His interview with the news channel about winning the Sonic contest showed him as not a little boy happy he won a once-in a lifetime contest, but as a smug prick thinking he deserved it. Bob sure did have mirth going on though. Happy his autistic son has hundreds of video games to keep him shut...

He never once actually smiled for the camera. From down to his three year old portrait, he expressed no happiness, no mirth that he still looked like a cute little boy that the young china could be interested in. *yawn*

He wasn't even happy he got the Shogun Megazord for Christmas, just Mr. Frowny face.

I don't get it. Frankly, I am jealous of all the games he has. I'd be in mirth if I had that, yet I live a crap life just like Chris, but I still can be happy!

In fact, it's not even that hard to feel Mirth. You just have to open up to new things. Like 80s music. Or drinking a Kahlua bottle on a walk and trip out. Of course, there's no such thing as "try" for Chris.

He is perfectly happy doing God knows what in between playing PS3, eating Healthy McRaps and getting in trouble with the law. Every single goddamn day. No :tugboat: for a freaking vacation even.

If he'd start to feel Mirth, he might get :heart-full: without the need of a woman and perhaps it'll even get him a girl subsequently.
 
I bet he did during the craziness of the Ivy saga. But now he's animated by the elemental forces of pure hate, so mirth is out.

Could be the autism. He may actually be feeling mirth/happiness/excitement/whatever, but not displaying the facial expressions most people would associate with it.

Also with reference to the video of Chris as a kid, you've got to remember he's not only a kid with autism, he's also just a kid who's just had a news camera shoved in his face and who is getting a lot of attention paid to him at once. Even without autism, a little kid might not know how to react to that.

I'd honestly just chalk it up to the 'tism. Well most of it. Yes, he did kinda sound like an entitled little prick when he won, but autistic's have been known to have trouble displaying emotion and I think in this case that's it.

Though nowadays I think it's more his general hatred of anything and everything that reminds him that he doesn't have a life outside of his house that kills any chance of him feeling mirth.

In order to truly know the extreme heights of happiness, you have to know the lows, too. Chris was sated and spoiled during his formative years, protected from the smallest unpleasantness; nothing made him sad, and so anything that made him happy was just par for the course.
 
He's experienced mirth. Even as recently as the trolling days he was giddy with anticipation, and full of hope and happiness. The far more important question is whether he will ever feel mirth again. He is a miserable bastard now, and seems to have no amount of joy in his life. I would guess that the things that used to bring him happiness and satisfaction have now been reduced to things that attempt to fill the ever deepening void of loneliness and meaninglessness that are the inevitable result of his moronic and naive choices in life.
 
If anything bad were to happen to Snyder or Megan and he were to catch word of it, he probably would feel mirth again.

He didn't seem all that smug to me when he won the sonic sweepstakes. He just seemed kinda "Deer in headlights". It's hard to infer emotion from that short clip, and he was being interviewed w a camera in his face, so it's possible that he was just overwhelmed and confused. Then again, it's hard to be excited when you get something you feel entitled to, and I'm sure that Chris felt that dilligently watching the show and writing down shit at the end entitled him to win the prize.

But yeah you definitely see Chris-mirth in "For my sweetest Ivy", and its pretty fucking disturbing.
 
Hello, everyone. I'm a big fan of the CWCki and have been equally impressed by the forum since I started reading it a short time ago. One of the most surprising of the rare moments where I'd consider Chris remotely "mirthful" is this little bit of [cwc]Kacey Call 6[/cwc]. Chris is as awkward as ever, but it doesn't sound forced or creepy - at least to me. I hear genuine amusement in his voice.

Kacey: You got a sandwich from IHOP? That's like, the International House of Pancakes.
Chris: Yeah well, my family gets like a senior discount, and uh...
Kacey: But what does that have to do with pancakes, it's pancake house!
Chris: [Laughs] Well, they sell sandwiches there. Heh, I mean-
Kacey: But, you go to IHOP for pancakes...

It's also probably the only time I can think of the two of them coming close to normal conversation. The transcript doesn't do his laugh much justice, so I recommend listening to the call itself (although I can't find it on Youtube). This exchange is at about 05'35".
 
Well, honestly, I don't doubt that he has quite often experienced mirth. Just as other people have said, though, it's very hard for autistics to demonstrate any kind of emotion, so even if they're about to explode with joy or happiness or laughter, you'd never guess it by seeing their faces.
He just can't emote properly, and of course now he really is rather jaded and bitter by all accounts. Poor fellow.
