I find that one of the key differences is as follows: while Chris has landed his life in its current status due to childlike ignorance of the world, Phil is consciously aware of his responsibilities to society but has taken active steps to reject them, like blowing his tugboat on ugly and offensive tattoos. Chris, therefore, can still "grow up" (optimistic) and begin his "adult" life, but Phil has committed his efforts to destroying himself.
Which is more amusement for us.
I still find Chris funnier. His greatest comedic strength is his naïveté. He could not have less of an ability to understand human beings. And not only does he assume he's smart, he thinks just about everyone is dumber than him no matter how many times he gets tricked.
Really, he's lucky he doesn't own anything valuable enough to steal. I've seen Bugs Bunny routines capable of conning Chris.
