THAT IS MY HOUSE



THAT IS MY HOUSE, aka ECV 00193, is a video uploaded on 27 August 2009, in which Chris demands footage of his house be removed from the internet in a calm and concise manner.

Chris took down the video not too long afterward, only for it be re-uploaded by troll archivists. On 29 August 2009, an uncut version of the video featuring Bob was acquired by Vivian Gee and leaked onto YouTube.

Video
"I'll send in detectives! I'll send in police! I'll send in EVERYTHING IN MY POWER!"

- He never did any of this, and his house remains on the internet to this very day.

Transcript
[Chris races into the frame, obviously angry and upset; he begins speaking quietly, but gradually gets louder]

This does not even deserve a Captain's Log introduction... [dramatic glasses removal] BECAUSE THIS IS DEAD SERIOUS. The inside and outside tour I did A FEW MONTHS ago of my house, everyone on the Internet...

[Chris jumps up and suddenly begins to scream and yell in a fit of childish rage, flapping his arms as he puts louder emphasis on certain words, sounding somewhat similar to Gilbert Gottfried]

THEY'RE BLAMING IT AT ME! IT'S MY FAULT, I ADMIT IT! IT'S MY FAULT; I WANT EVERYTHING A-BOUT MY HOUSE

[Chris starts gesticulating ridiculously] I'll send in detectives! I'll send in police! I'll send in EVERYTHING IN MY

[noticeable jump cut; Chris's glasses are back on his face and the door is left open from when Bob walked in]

So yeah, please, get everything off the Internet...

[Chris stomps the ground as he yells like a 5 year old throwing a tantrum, the camera noticeably shakes; he then quickly calms down, then holds up the peace sign]

Curse the trolls, peace to everyone else.

Uncut
"Shut that goddamn thing off!"

- Bob Chandler, addressing his old foe: that goddamn Internet.

An uncut version entitled ECV 00192 was posted by Vivian on 29 August 2009, where Bob walks in and scolds Chris. This is the second and last time we see Bob showing any kind of parental authority over Chris. In Mailbag 25, Chris revealed that he lied to his father, telling him that he had gotten the house videos off of the Internet.

We also learn the real reason why Chris's parents are concerned about the tour videos: the fear that the Health Department of Greene County will discover the squalor of the Chandler household and condemn it. Unsurprisingly, in typical CWC fashion, Chris doesn't seem to care about that and is only concerned that he got in trouble with his parents.

Also noteworthy is the fact that this marks the first Chris video explicitly featuring another living, breathing person (as opposed to an inflatable person, made of plastic).

Transcript
[the video begins as above, but at 0:28, Bob opens the door and walks in]

Chris: JUST GET IT OFF THE INTERNET...

Bob: Listen-to-me! [muffled by Chris's "OFF THE INTERNET!"] Listen to me.

Chris: [his expression changes rapidly and slowly turns to face Bob] Yes...

Bob: Listen to ME.

Chris: Yes.

Bob: Shut that goddamn thing off!

[''Chris sighs and turns off his TV, unaware or indifferent to the fact that his camera is still recording the conversation. Bob walks over to him'']

Bob: I don't care what you do. [pointing at PSEye] You get all that stuff off of there. Tonight.

Chris: I'm working on it. [slaps hands to his side]

Bob: Go work on it! [points to the door, instructing Chris to go to the computer downstairs]

Chris: I am workin-

Bob: Do you realize...? Do you realize something? Let me tell you: If the Health Department of Greene County... sees those videos... that you put on the damn Internet... they could condemn our house, and we would have to move out of it...?

Chris: [sighs] I see.

Bob: You go get that [nervously laughs when saying the next few words] goddamn stuff off of there and fast!

Chris: I'm working on it! I was making a YouTube vi—uh, a vid-dya for YouTube t-tellin' ev'rybody, "get the images off of the Internet". Y'know it's not...

Bob: No...

Chris: Its—It's, ahh, out of my control [flails arms]

Bob: No, you get 'em off.

Chris: It's out of my control! I don't know where to go! I DUNNO KNOW WHERE TA GO-

Bob: You loaded them up there, you unload 'em!

Chris: I'm working on it!

Bob: Go do it!

Chris: ''I AM WORK'- I AM DOIN' IT... I'M STARTIN'...''

Bob: Get in here and do it!

Chris: I- [sputters]

Bob: [walks out of the room] I'll be up all night with you if I have to. You won't get any sleep until that stuff's off.

Chris: I'm working on it!

Bob: [from outside] Get in there and start!

Chris: ''I'M WOR-KIN' ON IT! LET ME DO THAT STUPID VIDEO SO I CAN TELL E'RRYBODY, IN MY COMMAND, TO GET EVERYTHIN'- HELP ME GET EVERYTHIN' OFF THE INTERNET-''

Bob: [interrupting] Listen!

Chris: -about our house!

Bob: I don't wanna get kicked outta my house. By the Health Department. And what you just did was stick a knife in our back, and kill us! [Bob exits the room again]

Chris: Aw'right... lemme just...

Bob: Get that stuff offa there...

Chris: I'M WORK-

Bob: ...and get it offa there fast!

Chris: I'm workin' on it! I'm WORKIN' on it! [Chris turns his TV back on and the video continues as detailed above]

The Greene County Health Department responds
In addition to creating many, many mirrors of the videos Bob wanted cut down, some more intrepid viewers actually did contact the Greene County Health Department. The Health Department did respond (3 weeks later) to one such letter, although they seemed indifferent to their living situation, citing that the Chandler's messes were firmly confined within their home and seemingly not affecting their community. They stated that their decision to live in a garbage house full of dirty dishes and animal feces was part of their inalienable rights as guaranteed by the US Constitution:

This raises the question of whether Chris is properly informed about the risks to his health and all of his rights as a disabled person (especially the right to humane psychiatric treatment that would help him live on his own), although this probably isn't a matter for the Health Department.
