{{quote|SHE DID NOT REALIZE THE FURY OF MY WRATH!|Chris, threatening [[Vivian Gee]] during his [[Sign Destruction Video]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''Claw of Fail''' is a dramatic hand gesture used by Chris when he wants to emphasize whatever stupid point he's trying to make at the moment. Chris will hold his hand out, palm upturned, with his fingers outstretched and curled upwards, in the manner of a cartoonish villain. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much in the way that Chris [[parody|steals]] [[Random access humor|jokes]], [[Things Chris has ripped off|ideas]], and phrases he uses in everyday speech from movies, [[anime]], video games, and [[Ghostbusters|cartoons]], he also copies body language and hand gestures. Although normal humans may reference movies and such when it is funny, appropriate or ironic, Chris relies on these to teach him new words, phrases and ideas. In short, Chris is like a feral child, raised by television, who copies the mannerisms of his adoptive parent. When Chris stopped talking as a small child, his parents put him in front of the television for two-thirds of the day, which is a habit he's kept up all the way to the present time. Remember, whenever Chris is playing [[Little Big Planet|video games]], [[Sonichu|drawing comics]], or talking on the phone in his room, he often has a TV running in the background (sometimes muted and with closed captioning on, sometimes not).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Claw of Fail is associated with, but not exclusive to, [[Chris and anger|tard rage]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Christian has also shown TV pitchman [[BILLY MAYS]] clutching a miniature [[Wikipedia:Cornus (genus)|dogwood tree]] in a similar fashion, possibly as a display of dominance. In acting, this is usually called &amp;quot;milking the giant cow,&amp;quot; and considered to be something only hams do. Chris can't even ham properly, though; the Claw looks [[Duck#Chris_and_his_duck|stiff and unnatural]], whereas a proper milking (see anything with [[wikipedia:Rudolf Klein-Rogge|Rudolf Klein-Rogge]] in it) is typically a very fluid and passionate gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Use in 2009 and beyond ==&lt;br /&gt;
Chris has taken to using the Claw of Fail as a symbol of power or dominance over his enemies, as seen in [[Re to Chris No 2 - SHE IS MINE NOW|his rap video]]. This is perhaps a sign of Chris's slow turn to the Dark Side as he indulges in the art of what he hates the most: [[troll]]ing. Given the blackmail videos and the theft of [[Kacey]], we can only assume it's a matter of time before Chris becomes a full blown supervillain and wears the [[Medallions of Fail|Black Sonichu medallion]] on a more regular basis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is also likely that the use of the Claw is directly proportional to the size of Chris's [[ego]], evident in the fact that as of [[October 2009]], Chris' ego had inflated beyond human proportions; blocking out the sun and causing it to snow in [[CWCville]] as seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrxb_8dWa5Y this] video.&lt;br /&gt;

Image:Claw.jpg|Notice how the threatening gesture is immediately negated by the [[medallions|Sonichu medallion]], the room full of toys, and the fact that it's being performed by what appears to be a blob that has sprouted limbs and a human head.&lt;br /&gt;
