Cherokean Chant

"I convinced Chris that the ancient Cherokeans wore tracksuits, drank vodka, and shouted "Cheeki breeki" as a war cry."

- Idea Guy Wise.

Cherokean Chant is a video Chris uploaded on 11 December 2017 under the direction of original Idea Guy Wise, where he purports to recite an anchuent Cherokee chant with a bottle of vodka by his side.

The "Cherokean chant" is in fact Russian, consisting of the phrases "А ну, чики-брики" ("a nu cheeki breeki", from "А ну, чики-брики и в дамки", lit. "One, two – you're on top (used figuratively to mean 'everything's OK'"; an internet meme from the  video game series) and "давай" ("davai", lit. "come on" or "let's go"). He delivers the chant while squatting and wearing a striped tracksuit jacket (with his usual ugly skirt) and cap, with a bottle of vodka, portraying a stereotypical "" – all clearly at the behest of an Idea Guy. He would later wear the same outfit to MAGfest.

An accurate translation of this phrase into the Cherokee language would be "ᏌᏊᎢ, ᏔᎵ - ᎭᏩ" (pronounced: [sakʰwu.u tali haɰa]). "Let's go!" is "ᎢᏁᎾ!" (pronounced: [inena]) when referring to two people or "ᎢᏕᎾ!" (pronounced: [idena]) when referring to three or more people in Cherokee.

Chris appears physically uncomfortable during the recording and makes semi-intelligible comments at the beginning and end that seem to voice displeasure. This could be because of the Idea Guy's influence, or it could simply be a result of Chris being heavily drunk on vodka.

The video was taken down on 19 December for "violating YouTube's Community Guidelines."
