Lost media refers to media that once existed but has been lost or destroyed or media that has never been released publicly.[1] This article aims to document the following kinds of lost media:

  • Media made by or featuring Chris which was once publicly available on the internet but has since disappeared.
  • Media made by or featuring Chris which is known to exist but which has never been released to the public.
  • Media made by trolls that Chris has responded to or acknowledged.
  • Relics of Fail whose current whereabouts are unknown or were destroyed (excluding those which Chris is known to have sold to fans).

Because of the broad scope of the article, it is unlikely to ever be complete. Of course, some lost media is of greater interest to Christorians than other lost media.

Pre-trolling Lost Media

Autism papers

The Autism papers were a series of papers detailing the mental state of Chris and to what extent he has autism. Most of these papers appeared to have been destroyed in the 2014 house fire as none of them have appeared since. Even if not destroyed in the 2014 house fire, the hoard that is 14 Branchland Court makes finding these papers next to impossible, making these papers almost certainly lost. However, one paper from 2004 survives as it was e-mailed to Kacey by Chris who passed it on to Liquid Chris who then distributed the paper online in November 2009.

Christian Weston Chandler...Yep, I'm on TV :) (Master Copy)

An extended edition of Chris's 2007 homemade DVD allegedly featuring over six hours of original content. Chris offered to share it with Regina in their emails. It is unknown if it survived the 2014 fire.

CWC's Pokésite 1

CWC's Pokésite 1, originally known as CWC's Pokésite, was Chris's first website launched between the 25th of April and the 3rd of July 1999. Chris appears to have abandoned the site in late July as on the 22nd of July CWC's Pokésite 2 was launched. The content of CWC's Pokésite 1 is lost as the site is no longer up and the archive of the site only has three pages with the rest not working.[2][3][4] Also, the site guestbook is still available.[5] A Spanish version of the site also existed however the site is down and it was never archived making this lost as well.[6]

Report cards

The report cards are a series of papers from Chris's education detailing his grades and academic progress. There has been no mention of these documents since the 2014 house fire, likely being destroyed and thereby lost. Even if not destroyed Chris, claimed before the house fire in 2009 within Mailbag 19 that he could not access the documents.[7] Considering how cluttered 14 Branchland Court is and Chris not having access to the documents, to begin with, it is unlikely that the documents can be found, making them lost if they have not been destroyed. However, Chris's grades can be seen in the assignments that have survived in the Manchester High Leaks, so Chris's grades are not entirely lost.

Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes (items)

The Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes was a contest held in 1993 in which the person who wrote down every "Sonic Says" and sent it in would get the chance to win certain prizes with the biggest prize being a $1,000 shopping spree at Kay-Bee Toys.[8] Chris won this contest in 1994 and got the $1,000 shopping spree however only five items are known to have been purchased being:

Batman Returns ($49.99).

Sonic CD (unknown price).

Sonic Spinball ($49.99).

"Star Trek" (probably Star Trek: The Next Generation: Echoes from the Past) (unknown price).

"Power Rangers Megazord" (unknwon price. Estimate $29.99).

It is unknown what other items Chris bought with the remaining $857.04 (not including the prices of Sonic CD and "Star Trek") and are thereby lost. Furthermore out of the five items listed, only one was still in Chris's possession being Sonic CD with the rest being destroyed or sold as revealed in a 21 June 2021 message on The Place Discord server.[9]

Troll-related Lost Media

10242009 (Gregg Mays' video)

10242009 was a video Chris uploaded on 24 October 2009 in which he responds to Gregg Mays. While this video is available, a video made by Gregg related to 10242009 was set to private. Gregg's video has not been found since and is considered to be lost.

Asperchu is a Horrendous Joke (Mao's response)

Asperchu is a Horrendous Joke was a video Chris uploaded on 17 January 2010 in which he reads and reviews Asperchu. While this video is available, Mao's response video released on the same day was made private. The video has not been found since then; Mao's response is currently considered to be lost.

BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.7 (full recording)

A recorded PSN chat between Chris, Bob, and "Julie" lasting approximately twenty minutes. The first nine minutes and eighteen seconds of the chat were preserved, but the recording abruptly ends while Bob is discussing his music collection. The lost portion of the call includes Bob talking about his health problems and Cherokee heritage, followed by goodbyes and then the trolls talking among themselves.

CatKnight Interview 5

On 28 March 2016, Sir Arthur Spatchcock, also known as CatKnight and Master Disaster, conducted an interview with Chris on lets-plays. The footage and audio of this interview have been lost though; the transcript is intact.

Chris Chan calls Time-Life

This was a set of prank call videos from the now-defunct channel DavidMurdock4, using a soundboard of Chris-Chan to prank call a Time-Life call center, made in 2018-2019. The channel was closed in 2019 and none of its videos were archived.

Chris Chan VS. The Internet

Chris Chan VS. The Internet was a documentary made by Joseph Draft first announced on Kickstarter on 4 April 2019. The documentary includes interviews with Chris, Barbara, and Megan Schroeder as well as candid footage of Chris going about his life. However, due to various factors,[10] the documentary has not surfaced and allegedly the hard drive containing the documentary has been destroyed, making this documentary lost. However, the trailer and the opening are available.[11][12]

Chris Sex Logs (Audio)

On 27 September 2008 PandaHalo released a series of Skype chats in which Chris discussed with her a variety of subjects related to sex. While the transcript of the chats is available, the audio that accompanied the chats has been lost except for a 5:30-minute snippet.[13]

Dillin Thomas DMs

Dillin Thomas is a former Christuber who eventually closed his YouTube channel. With the closure was the loss of material such as DMs from Chris.[14]

eBay Purchases and Listings (2001-2008)

Chris has been using eBay since all the way back in 2001. While this wiki has archived most of Chris's eBay listings (and purchases) from 2008 onward, the same can't be said for his previous ones prior to that year. There have been a few records of his purchases from that era, but not a whole lot, and especially nothing of his potential listings. Chris's bans and suspensions from eBay, as well as potentially using sockpuppets, also make archiving these difficult, so it's possible these bits of info are lost.

Jackie's Father Call

In an email sent from Jackie to Chris at 1:36 PM on 16 July 2011[15], Jackie revealed that the day before Jackie's father who was drunk at the time got into a call with Chris. It is unknown if the call was recorded, and even if it was, no audio nor transcript of the call has been released, making this call lost.

Julie Reveals Herself (Video)

Julie Reveals Herself is a Mumble chat between Bluespike and Chris on 3 March 2009 which involves shoving the Sonichu Medallion up his rectum and Julie revealing herself to be a boy. While the audio of the chat exists, the video that accompanied it, which includes footage of Chris shoving the Sonichu Medallion up his rectum, is lost.

My Half of A Whole New World for Kacey (Kacey's Part)

On 31 October 2009 Chris made a video singing the male part of the lyrics to the song "A Whole New World", in response to Kacey uploading a video singing the female part of the same song. While Chris's video is available[16], Kacey's video has been taken down by YouTube and is currently lost.

No More Jokes (Clyde's response)

No More Jokes was a video by Chris released on 5 November 2009 in which he reveals the real identity of Clyde Cash. While both the SFW and NSFW versions of the video exist, Clyde's response to the video is currently lost.

Power (Document)

Power was a zip file containing three videos of Chris performing acts of strength to impress Vanessa Hudgens which was leaked by The Miscreants on 27 April 2009. Along with the three videos contained an edited audio file of "I Got a Fish" and a "special thanks" document. While the videos and audio files are available, the "special thanks" document has been lost.

Red Forest (other audio files)

Red Forest is one of several audio files created by Joshua Wise created in the autumn of 2017 used to manipulate Chris's beliefs on reality. There are other files aside from Red Forest to have existed with the only known one being revealed by Wise in the Idea Guy Q&A in which Wise used Chris's audio in an altered form to manipulate him.[17] This audio has never been realised and it is unknown how many other audio clips existed as none aside from Red Forest have been leaked making them lost.

Sonichu Fan Promo (videos)

The Sonichu Fan Promo were three 3D animated shorts on Sonichu made by Timmys1984, released between 11-14 October 2008. While the transcripts of all three videos exist, only the third video remains.[18] However, Chris incorporated these animations into Sonichu Issue 9, pages 72, 78, and 79 with 72 being the first short, 78 is the second short, and 79 is the third short.

Sonichu Home Club (Videos)

The Sonichu Home Club was an online event hosted on Chris's PS3 through online network. The purpose of these events was to gather TRUE and HONEST fans of Sonichu, however, it appears these events were done by Chris in the hope of receiving praise. Two of these events occurred, and while the transcripts remain the videos are lost.

Sonichu's Live PS4 Broadcast

On 16 March 2018 Chris streamed the game Burnout Paradise Remastered on the PS4. While certain parts of the stream are available[19][20], the stream footage in its entirety has been lost.

The "Black Tape"

The "Black Tape" is a call between Chris and Jackie on 7 September 2011 in which Chris breaks down in the wake of his father's death the previous day. The contents of the call were considered so harrowing[21][22] that the call has never been released out of respect for Chris and due to its lack of entertainment value.

The Sonichu Chronicles (Slides)

The Sonichu Chronicles was a PowerPoint presentation made by Chris in January 2009 and was presented to Shigeru Miyamoto and Reggie Fils-Aimé as to give ideas on a Sonichu game. The transcript of the texts of the PowerPoint slides is available. However, the PowerPoint file is missing, making the slides currently lost. However, an image of the intro slide is available.[23]

Unrecorded Voicemail Greetings

Chris has changed his cell phone voicemail greeting message many times over the years. Many of these greetings have a transcription but no available recording, either because they were never recorded or because the recording has become lost.

Unreleased Jackie E-mails

Between 5 April 2010 to 7 September 2011, Jackie and Chris interacted with each other over emails of which have been compiled into 31 sets. However, the emails present are the ones Alec Benson Leary compiled and it is confirmed that Jackie and Chris had email conversations that Alec Benson Leary omitted due to them being irrelevant.[24][25] Considering how long ago these events happened, it is likely that these unreleased emails will never surface, making them lost.

Unreleased Miscreant Interactions

The Miscreants were a group of trolls consisting of many of the most notable, including Clyde Cash and Liquid Chris. While many of their interactions with Chris are known, Marvin has confirmed that a significant amount of chats and calls the Miscreants and Chris had have not been released.[26][27][28][29] Considering how long ago these interactions happened and the fact it is unknown if anyone has these unreleased chats and calls, these interactions are likely lost.

Lost Relics

Asperchu Medallion

The Asperchu Medallion was a variant of the Sonichu medallion featuring Asperchu instead of Sonichu sent to Chris by Alec Benson Leary. It is unknown when Alec Benson Leary sent the medallion to Chris however the medallion was first seen in Chris's Magical Man Potion video uploaded on 24 February 2010. Chris revealed in a Facebook post made on 2 August 2014[30] that the Asperchu Medallion was destroyed in the 2014 house fire, making it lost.

Attraction Sign

The Attraction Signs were a series of signs detailing his desire for a boyfriend-free girl that Chris used from 2004 to 2014. All the signs made before the 2014 house fire have not appeared since likely being destroyed in the event, thereby making them lost. One sign has been made since the 2014 house fire on July 2014 on Chris's OkCupid account[31], however, it has also not appeared since likely making it lost.

Heart Torch of Fail

The Heart Torch of Fail was a torch made of Pixelblocks that has an unknown significance to the Love Quest. The torch was made sometime before or during 2005 as it appears in Sonichu 4, which was produced in the year 2005. Since its appearance in 2005, it has never been seen since likely, being destroyed in the 2014 house fire, thereby making it lost.

Medallions

The Medallions refers to the Sonichu Medallions made by Chris over the course of his life. The prototype medallion which Chris wore in 2004 as it is mentioned in the Autism papers disappeared after this year and is believed to be lost in the literal sense. The 4th iteration of the Sonichu Medallions, which was made after April 2017, was last seen with Chris's arrest on 1 August 2021. It is unknown what happened to this medallion as Chris has made no mention of it since and has not been seen with it in his mugshots. Therefore it is possible that this medallion was destroyed or discarded by the authorities, making it lost.

Red String of Fate

The Red String of Fate was a string with a paper heart attached on the end designed to attract a boyfriend-free girl that Chris created on 1 August 2004. In anime like Excel Saga, of which Chris likely got the idea from as he watched Excel Saga before creating the Red String of Fate,[32] the red string is used as a metaphor to in courting love. However, Chris did not see the metaphor and would throw the red string at women in the hopes of "reeling" them in. On 5 August 2004 a mall security guard confiscated it and it has never resurfaced, likely being destroyed and thereby lost.

The Wall of Originals

The Wall of Originals was a wall covered in Chris's customized Pokémon cards. Most of the cards from the wall were destroyed in the 2014 house fire, although some survived as revealed in a July 2017 tweet and Chris listing the surviving cards on eBay in June 2018.[33]

Lost and Found Media

CWC is Angry

CWC is Angry is a video released in August 2007 in which Chris shoots at a picture of Adam Stackhouse with the Megatron pistol and is notable for being Chris's last video before he got trolled. Sometime after, the video was lost as Adam Stackhouse in a comment made on or before 8 April 2009 mentions the video being lost,[34] later in April 2009 the video was found.

IRL Tour of 14 Branchland Court

The IRL Tour of 14 Branchland Court as the title suggests was a tour of Chris's home that occurred on 31 August 2014 with Chris giving the tour to Catherine and Cousin Al. The audio and slideshow of the tour was posted to Cousin Al's YouTube channel on 5 March 2015.[35][36] Sometime in or before July 2020 Cousin Al's YouTube channel was terminated leading to the video of the audio and slideshow becoming lost as reported in Geno Samuel's documentary Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History on 31 July 2020.[37] However, as of 6 August 2022, the video containing the audio and the slideshow of the tour have been found.

Manchester High Leaks

The Manchester High Leaks are a series of high school assignments from Chris's junior year between 1998 and 1999.[38] It was thought that these documents were permanently lost in the 2014 house fire as before the fire these documents had not surfaced leading to them being considered lost even before the fire. However, Cousin Al on June 2014 after digging through Chris's trash, found these documents though they were damaged from the 2014 house fire.

Rental House Tour

The Rental House Tour was a tour of Chris' temporary house in the aftermath of the 2014 house fire recorded by Catherine and Cousin Al on 31 August 2014. Sometime before or on 6 March 2019 the video had been lost.[39][40] However, on 14 and 19 April 2019 the 1st and 2nd halves of the recording were found.

Scrapbook of Fail

The Scrapbook of Fail are two binders containing every comic Chris has ever drawn including Sonichu. After the 2014 house fire the scrapbook stopped being mentioned leading to the belief that it had been lost as reported by Sachumo[41] however, in November 2015 Chris revealed the scrapbook had been found and survived the fire.

ShecameforCWC.JPG

ShecameforCWC.JPG is a pornographic drawing consisting of Chris vaginally stimulating Megan Schroeder uploaded to Encyclopedia Dramatica on 11 November 2007. On 4 November 2013, Chris announced that he would destroy ShecameforCWC.JPG[42], leading to the belief that the original drawing had been lost, which was confirmed by a tweet Chris made on January 2018, confirming he had destroyed ShecameforCWC.JPG.[43] However, on April 2018, Chris listed ShecameforCWC.JPG for sale on his eBay, which was bought by the Teen Troon Squad. It turned out that Chris had not destroyed the drawing but cut it up into squares, making it easy to reassemble, making it lost but not destroyed. It is unknown what the Teen Troon Squad have done with ShecameforCWC.JPG but it can be presumed they still own it, though they have not shown it off.

The Classic

The Classic refers to Chris's red and blue rugby shirt that he wore in many of his videos. It was thought that this shirt was destroyed and thereby lost in the 2014 house fire. However, in April 2017 Chris found The Classic. However, on 10 August 2018 Barb threw away The Classic as revealed in a text to the Teen Troon Squad from Chris, thereby making The Classic lost again.[44]

Unknown Lost Media

While this article has listed lost media associated with Chris, this is the only lost media known to have existed and is now lost. It is almost certain that there are hundreds if not thousands of pieces of lost media around Chris that were never known or never released publicly or were never archived and have been lost. One can only speculate what has not been released or what has been lost over the course of Chris's life. Moreover, one can only speculate on what is waiting to be found.
