[[Image:191-sealSchu.jpg|thumb|The TRUE and HONEST Seal of Originality.]]

As every [[True and Loyal Fanbase|fan]] of [[Chris]] is probably aware of, our hero has quite the imagination. But some argue that due to [[Chris and stress|stress]] and the mental block that is [[Autism]], his powerful and mighty artistic ordeals cannot come to fruition. So he just does what every good TV/book/movie writer does: he goes and '''steals an enormous amount of things''' from other places.

To his credit, plagiarizing isn't easy. After all, how do you grab something that comes from another person's mind, adapt it to your own storyline and make it so that it fits in, without having whatever it is that you stole stand out like an [[Obesity|obese]] [[Honor roll|fool]] with [[The Classic|a red-and-blue-striped shirt]] in the middle of a crowd? Being the genius comic book creator that he is, he feels that he doesn't need to bother with details such as a good plot, readability, or even consistency. Just stick in a few bouts of [[random-access humor]] that he found in some sort of form of media, and you got yourselves a new installment in the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comics]].

Chris holds a [[Chris and reality|belief]] that all of fiction exists in an alternative "cartoon" universe, ''à la'' ''{{w|Who Framed Roger Rabbit}}'', with [[Asperchu|no exceptions]], so he probably believes that this justifies his plagiaristic tendencies. The world in which ''Sonichu'' takes place is fundamentally built on the creations of others, probably because Chris spends most of his time watching television and that is the way in which he engages with his limited imagination. With all the characters and concepts stolen from other works of fiction crammed into the ''Sonichu'' comics, the mythology of [[CWCville]] is an unwieldy, confusing pastiche of bullshit which frequently fuses together franchises that are unrelated or even contradictory. ''{{w|The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen}}'', this is not.

While some of Chris's creations, including [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] himself, are individual entities which are technically not stolen (though many of their substantial elements very-much are), he often outright steals established, well-known characters and elements from other works of fiction, and he simply hopes their rightful owners do not notice. He makes no attempt to veil their derivative nature and has shown that he has no preparatory plan for any incident where he's confronted with intellectual property claims. According to Chris, stealing [[copyright]]ed material is fine ([[Asperchu|unless it's his own]]), as long as you indicate that whatever it is you’re doing is a "[[parody]]" of the original material. In accordance to U.S. copyright law, this is technically true, so this probably means that, unless he decides to make money out of his "artwork," he isn't going to have the law knocking on his door, but the question of whether or not ''Sonichu'' qualifies as parody is an [[Parody#Why Sonichu is not a parody|article in its own right]].

Below is a non-exhaustive list of stolen intellectual property:

==Main influences==
===Sonic the Hedgehog===
{{Main|Sonic the Hedgehog}}

*His pride and glory [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], which, as we all know, is a recolor of Sonic the Hedgehog with [[Pikachu]]'s tail and ears. In his comic book debut he is created when the "[[Perfect Chaos Monster]]" attacks Station Square, which, by the way, is a direct ripoff of the end of ''{{w|Sonic Adventure}}''.
*Sonichu's girlfriend [[Rosechu (character)|Rosechu]] is just [[Amy Rose]] with a Raichu tail.
*Of course, Sonichu’s evil twin brother [[Blake]] (Black Sonichu, Blachu) also comes from the same line of original creativity Chris has got us accustomed to. This dark version of Sonichu is a complete ripoff of {{w|Shadow the Hedgehog}}.
*The "[[Chaotic Combo]]" is a mesh of ''Sonic'' characters recolored with various deformities, and their name is a copy of the {{w|List of Sonic the Hedgehog video game characters#Chaotix|Chaotix}}: including [[Angelica]] being a white hedgehog that has wings, or [[Punchy Sonichu]] being an Oriental version of {{w|Knuckles the Echidna}}.
*Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy Rose and [[Doctor Robotnik]] make an appearance in [[Sonichu_1|Sonichu Issue #1]], with Sonic and Amy juxtaposing themselves with their barely-distinguishable counterparts.
*The [[Legendary Master Sunstone]] is a rip-off of the Master Emerald.
*[[Bionic the Hedgehog]] is another recolor of Sonic.
*[[Metal Sonichu]] is a recolor of Metal Sonic with Pikachu ears and a tail.
*The [[Sonichu Balls]] are essentially just stand-ins for the Chaos Emeralds, and may also be plagiarized in part from ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]''.
*[[Ultra Sonichu]] is a rip-off of Super Sonic.
*The [[Sonees and Roseys]] greatly resemble Chao, but uglier.
*The inspiration for creating evil versions of characters with [[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc|backwards]] [[Mary_Lee_Walsh|names]] came from the comic characters Doctor Ovi Kintobor (Ivo Robotnik spelled backwards) the Anti-Robotnik (Archie) and pre-evil Robotnik (Fleetway).<ref>http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Ivo_Kintobor</ref>

===Pokémon===
{{Main|Pokémon}}

*Like the previously mentioned Sonichu and Rosechu characters ripping off Sonic the Hedgehog, they also rip off various Pokémon, mostly Pikachu and Raichu, combined with other Pokémon.
*The character [[Jiggliami]] is a humanoid variation of a Jigglypuff.
*The so-called [[Sonichu Balls]] are designed like various Poké Balls, though they also function like other items.
*Sonees are also slightly edited Pichu, with a bit of Chao mixed in.
*Moves. As if ripping off their looks weren't enough, Chris also rips off their attacks such as "Thunderbolt" or "Sky Uppercut".
*Many of the cards on Chris's [[Wall of Originals]] are obviously based on character concepts or illustrations from the Pokémon games. (Christian's Maychu, to use one example, imitates the official illustration of the Pokémon Hitmonlee.)
*[[Sonichite]], a total rip-off of Pokemon's Mega Stone concept.

===Chris's fanbase===
*'''Days Of Our Hogs/Wish You Were Hare''' [[Sonichu 12]] discusses Sonichu and Rosechu's wedding - with a few elements largely ripping off [[:Category:Fan_Comic_1|a fan comic by Jon Crayon]] - mainly Rosechu walking in on Sonichu and a naked Bubbles
*'''Rosechu's Story''' [[Sonichu 15]] plagiarizes elements of [http://rosechustory.tumblr.com/ a fancomic about Rosechu].

==[[Anime]]==
===''[[Wikipedia:Digimon|Digimon]]''===
* [[Ultra Sonichu]]'s Chaotic Remedy is a blatant copy of [[Wikipedia:Patamon#MagnaAngemon|MagnaAngemon's Magna Antidote]] attack.

===''[[Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball/Z/GT]]''===
*[[Chris-chan Sonichu]]'s famed attack, the [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] (later Shin-ye-ha-me-ha), is based on the famed Kamehameha attack.
*The Sonichu Balls, though resembling Poké Balls, seem to function more like the titular Dragon Balls, as they are able to grant a wish when all are brought together.
*Ultra Sonichu heavily resembles Super Saiyans, both in behavior and appearance.
*[[Collosal Chan]] is Chris's really terrible attempt at ripping off Super Saiyan 4 from ''Dragon Ball GT'', which is a combination of the Super Saiyan and Great Ape forms.
*[[Mypoe]] ripped off [[Punchy]]'s tail because it was a "weak spot"; the same "weak spot" exists for Saiyans (unless said tail has been removed) and several Saiyans have theirs removed for the same reason.

===''Excel Saga''===
{{Main|Excel Saga}}

*A veritable hellstorm of shameless rips from this series appears in the ''Sonichu'' comics, in a way nearly as pervasive as Pokémon and Sonic the Hedgehog, yet comparatively subtler because he steals one-liners and monologues more than characters or storylines.
*...although he does indeed steal characters (like Mypoe and Nabeshin and [[Bagget|the Jerkop Daitenzen]]) from time to time.
*It is also possible that Chris stole the [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] from the parody "Nabehameha" from ''Excel Saga'' (which was essentially a Kamehameha attack, except shaped like an afro).

===''{{w|Gurren Lagann}}''===
*The character of [[Simonla Rosechu]] is a ripoff of a "fanmade" Sonichu named [[Simonchu]] who, in turn, is ripped off from the main character of the series, Simon the Digger.
**It should be noted that Chris has probably never seen ''Gurren Lagann'', and as such misinterpreted several aspects of Simonchu's design that were intended to be referential to Simon: his cape became Simonla's shell, and his Core Drill pendant became a shark's tooth necklace.
**When Chris was forced to kill off Simonla in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], he promptly created [[Sandy Rosechu]], Simonla's daughter. She is essentially exactly the same design-wise, except she is yellow and has a different hairstyle.

===''{{w|Inuyasha}}''===
*In [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]], [[Saramah Rosechu]] pins [[Wes-Li Sonichu]] to a tree, Wes making the statement "Where did this non-sacred tree come from?" This is a "[[Random-access humor|hilarious gag]]" referring to InuYasha's origin story, wherein he was pinned by an arrow to a cursed tree by priestess/crack shot/vengeful ex-girlfriend {{w|List of Inuyasha characters#Kikyo|Kikyo}}. Also, with some imagination and enough [[alcohol]], one can see that a cloud in the background in one of the panels is shaped vaguely like InuYasha's head.
*Chris also has a [[Marvey Blaziken|Blaziken]] in his Pokémon team named "Inuyasha", which was only revealed on the [[CWCipedia]].<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu Sonichu] on the [[CWCipedia]]</ref> It's likely that this is the same Blaziken seen training with [[Sandy]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], though he is not identified by name in that comic. The name makes absolutely no sense, as [[Honor roll|the literal translation of Inuyasha means "dog demon"]].

===''{{w|Kekko Kamen}}''===
*The face-rape of [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]] is based on the '''Pubic Hair Jump''', a move by which the title character of ''Kekko Kamen'' kills her enemies.

===''{{w|Macross Frontier}}''===
*Chris's infamous drawing of [[Jiggliami]] was copied from a picture by [[Blanca]], who copied the pose from a popular picture of Ranka Lee, one of the major characters of the series.

===''{{w|Pretty Cure}}''===
{{quote|"This is so "Pretty Cure"! I'M BACK!"|[[Chris-chan Sonichu]], [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].}}

*''Pretty Cure'' spoofs the ridiculous costumes, magical schoolgirls, and attack names of other anime series. The [[Chrs-Chan_Pure_Pulse-Jolt_Lance|Chrs-Chan [sic] Pure Pulse Jolt Lance]] (the attack that [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]] and [[Crystalina Rosechu]] are able to perform with their combined Hedgehog powers) is stolen from this series, and even though its original counterpart was given a ridiculous name, Chris felt the need to make it sound like some idiot had just mashed some random words into an attack name for his own version. ''Oh wait...''
* Also noteworthy is that Chris copied (and butchered) the pre-attack catch phases and attack poses. Most of these rip-offs occur in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]] and [[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]].

===''Sailor Moon''===
{{Main|Sailor Moon}}

*[[Sailor Megtune]], Chris's hideously inappropriate SI Mary Sue for [[Megan]], combines elements of the various heroines from the series, though the name is based on {{w|Sailor Neptune}}.
*The [[Dark Mirror Hole]] may be a reference to a number of related ''Sailor Moon'' places/items, including the Black Dream Hole of [[Wikipedia:Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie|''Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie'']], and a mirror-like item that was used by Queen Nehellenia in the first six episodes of ''Sailor Moon Sailor Stars'' and the majority of ''Sailor Moon SuperS''.

===[[Wikipedia:Samurai Pizza Cats|''Samurai Pizza Cats'']]===
*In the aforementioned random-access humor ED edit, Chris quoted a joke from the US-dubbed version of SPC: "Quiet everybody, Emperor Fred has an announcement...FRED".
*He created the [[Samurai Pizza Bots]], which is a ripoff of both ''Samurai Pizza Cats'' and [[Transformers]]. They make several appearances in the comic to help [[Sonichu]] battle the [[Jerkops]].
*Punchy Sonichu, provider of random-access humor, has referenced this series a few times.

===''Yu-Gi-Oh!''===
{{Main|Yu-Gi-Oh!}}

*[[Sarah Hammer]]'s husband-to-be is depicted as Jack's Knight, a ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' monster. Chris had no idea what he looked like, so naturally he depicted him as a Yu-Gi-Oh card.<ref>http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Jack's_Knight</ref>
*For no given reason, Chris (and Chris alone) tends to use various ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' items during his battles (especially extremely convenient trap cards) and is even depicted using a Duel Disk when dealing with [[Wes Iseli]].

==Western animation==
===''The Adventures of The American Rabbit''===
{{Main|The Adventures of The American Rabbit}}

*Chris stole many concepts for his [[Love Quest]] and lines from this movie for use in the comics ("I will, thank you father" from the cover of [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]] is a line uttered by Robert Rabbit).

===[[Wikipedia:American Dad!|''American Dad!'']]===
*Chris has referred to [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] as "[[Chris and hypocrisy|the Dork of Ages]]", a phrase taken from the episode "[[Wikipedia:Dungeons and Wagons|Dungeons and Wagons]]".

===''Aqua Teen Hunger Force''===
{{Main|Aqua Teen Hunger Force}}
*The ''ATHF'' characters appear in one panel in [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]], along with Meatwad's old catchphrase, "The bun is in your mind."
*Chris (badly) painted one of his Guitar Hero guitars to look like Meatwad's toy guitar.

===''Beavis and Butt-head''===
{{Main|Beavis and Butt-head}}

*In [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], Beavis and Butt-head appear in a gag directly stolen from the original cartoon series. (although Chris does write "Apologies to Mike Judge" and "Source of joke: Beavis and Butt-head's 'Substitute'").

===[[Wikipedia:Darkwing Duck|''Darkwing Duck'']]===
*[[Darkbind Sonichu]] is a partial ripoff of this series' main character – Darkwing Duck.
*The font Chris uses to write "Darkbind" is traced from the show's logo.
*Upon arriving, Darkbind recites a completely bastardized version of Darkwing Duck's trademark entrance speeches. The main change is that the original speeches were filled with tongue-in-cheek irony, while Chris's version is completely serious and unnecessarily pompous.
*Chris calls Darkbind "D.B.", reminiscent of how Darkwing Duck's sidekick Launchpad McQuack calls him "D.W."
*[[Princess Zelina Rosechu]] may be a partial ripoff of Darkwing Duck's girlfriend Morgana McCawber (though this theory is debatable).

===''[[Wikipedia:Ed, Edd n Eddy|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]''===
*In one of his ED edits, Chris added a huge wall of random-access humor, including a joke from the episode "One + One = Ed": "Carrots are good for your eyes, can it dial a phone?", originally said by Ed.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg5_OEhzuuI</ref>
*In the video [[CWCFlyingElephants]], a nude Chris repeatedly bashes his head on his bed like a [[slow-in-the-mind]], and quotes another line from Ed, from the episode "Stop, Look and Ed": "I'm a woodpecker! Except with dirt!".<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6YLmzrNVw0</ref> His bed not being made of dirt ([[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|though it probably contains a fair bit of it]]), it just makes no sense.

===''[[Family Guy]]''===
{{Main|Family Guy}}
*In [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], Chris meets [[Sammy]], who resembles Peter Griffin, who goes through a series of incidents involving sequences from Filmation's ''[[Ghostbusters]]''.
*In [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], Chris directly lifts a gag in which a news anchor delivers a serious professional story, then immediately jumps to excited coverage of Spring Break.
*The title of his bizarre rap video, "[[IPods_Down_and_Listen_Up]]", was lifted from "[[Wikipedia:Prick Up Your Ears (Family Guy)|Prick Up Your Ears]]", in which the reverend teaching the high school about abstinence starts his performance by telling the kids, "Put your Walkmans down and listen up".
*Page 15 of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu #10'']] is a dead ringer for the scene in the episode "{{w|Wasted Talent}}," in which Peter trips and falls, injuring his knee, then spends an inordinately long time clutching it and groaning in pain.<ref>[[:File:SchuComic10P15.jpg]]</ref>
*Page 36 of ''Sonichu #10'' imitates Peter and Lois's [[Fabricated BDSM texts|BDSM]] bedroom scene from the episode "Let's Go to the Hop."<ref>[[:File:SchuComic10P36.jpg]]</ref>
*At the end of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Marvey Blaziken tells the reader that "inspiration does not have a schedule". On ''Family Guy'', this exact phrase was spoken by New Brian during the episode "[[Wikipedia:The Man with Two Brians|The Man with Two Brians]]" before he proceeds to sing about [[Chris Sings Fart Song for Flora|farting]]. Naturally, the phrase referred to New Brian fitting in writing a song (about farting) into his already-busy schedule of helping out the family.
*In ''Sonichu'' #10, Chris makes out with [[Silvana]] disguised as [[Meg Griffin]]. This means that in the cultural enclave that is CWCville, Meg Griffin appears to be both a fictional character of whom Chris has a peculiar sexual interest (''Sonichu'' #7), but also somebody who can just show up with little surprise from Chris.
*In [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], one of Sonichu's kids is playing the Virgin Mary in a school play, she says "I'm the Virgin Mary, that's my story and I'm sticking to it". This is said by Joe's wife Bonnie in "[[Wikipedia:A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas|A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas]]", where she is doing the exact same thing. Of course, the line isn't as disturbing when she says it, considering she's an adult woman, whereas the rosee who says it is ''three years old''.

===''Futurama''===
{{Main|Futurama}}

*The time-travel plot of [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]] ("Time Hogs") was stolen from the direct-to-DVD movie ''[[Wikipedia:Futurama: Bender's Big Score|Bender's Big Score]]'', and this is shamelessly lampshaded by the recolors in the beginning of the episode. In some kind of post-modern bullshit, Bender as he appears in ''Bender's Big Score'' physically appears in the time vortex, literally a page before Sonichu mentions the film directly.
*The line "Smoke um peace pipe" in [[Wigwam]] is stolen from the ''Futurama'' episode "Where the Buggalo Roam".

===''Ghostbusters''===
{{Main|Ghostbusters#Plagiarism}}

*Chris's ''Family Guy''-style "skitch" rips off the FALSE and DISHONEST ''Ghostbusters'' created by Filmation.

===[[Wikipedia:He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'']]===
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: [[Beel]] exclaims: "I have the power!" after stealing Chris's [[Medallion of Fail]].

===[[Wikipedia:Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi|''Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi'']]===
*[[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]] has Wes refer to Chris's cards as "Stu-Pi-Doh magic". Stu-Pi-Doh was an in-universe [[parody]] of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]

===[[Wikipedia:Home Movies (TV series)|''Home Movies'']]===
*[[Officer Keino]]'s appearance is ripped straight from Coach John McGuirk.
*The end of the [[Giant Penis Comic]] special contains gags from the show-where Chris thinks he and [[Ivy]] are being romantic with their stolen dialogue, they aren’t. In the episode the exchange comes from, it was intentionally unromantic.

===''[[Wikipedia:Johnny Bravo|Johnny Bravo]]''===
* [[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]] has a line from the Scooby-Doo crossover ripped out entirely, regarding Applecore. As custom dictates, Chris [[Random-access_humor|neglects to employ the context that made the joke funny in the first place]].

===''[[Wikipedia:Muppet Babies|Muppet Babies]]''===
*Chris made a [[SonichuBabies|suicide-inducing 12-minute video]] of the [[Chaotic Combo]] as Sonees and Roseys, though needless to say his video lacked the major charms the series actually had.

===''[[Wikipedia:My Little Pony|My Little Pony]]''===
{{main|My Little Pony}}
* In the [[Wedding Comic]], Chris and Ivy's carriage is pulled by what is clearly a ''My Little Pony'' horse.<ref>[[:File:SchuComicSP2P6.jpg]]</ref>
* [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]] is set primarily in the ''Friendship is Magic'' universe, which includes both the Equestria world of the main series and the human world of the ''[[Equestria Girls]]'' spinoff. The issue sees characters hopping across both worlds.
* In said comic, [[Night Star]] interacts with various characters from the G4 show, including but not limited to Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, [[Vinyl Scratch]], Discord and Lyra.
* The final arc of the comic sees Night Star and [[Kun]] picking up the story of the [[Wikipedia:My Little Pony: The Movie (2017 film)|''My Little Pony'' movie]]. Night Star even goes as far as breaking the fourth wall to plug the movie.

===''[[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]]''===
{{main|Peanuts}}
* Chris uploaded [[RandomHumor1]] to his [[Flipnote Hatena]] account. Complete with horrendous drawings and obnoxious high-pitched voices, the animation plagiarizes the ''Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show'' episode "Sally at School" word for word.

===''[[Wikipedia:The Powerpuff Girls|The Powerpuff Girls]]''===
*The other half of [[Blake]]'s origin was stolen from The Powerpuff Girls, as an accidental dose of a foreign chemical gives him his evilness and his blackness, just as an accidental dose of "Chemical X" gave the Powerpuff Girls their powers. This is lampshaded poorly on the cover to Black Sonichu's introductory issue, [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], where [[Sonic]] suggests that Chemical "X" could have caused the change, but [[Sonichu]] corrects him; it was cherry cola.

===''[[Wikipedia:The Ren & Stimpy Show|The Ren & Stimpy Show]]''===
*[[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]]'s Sub-Episode 6, "Christian Chandler's Backyard Safari", rips off the ''Ren & Stimpy'' episode "[[Chris's Room|Lair of the Lummox]]", which Chris even acknowledges (with Ren & Stimpy thinly veiled as "[[Chris and copyright|Ben & Stumpy]]").
*The titles for [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]] ("SillyBeachFrenzy08" and "CrazyBeachFrenzy08") are likely a reference to the "Naked Beach Frenzy" episode of the ''{{w|Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon"}}'', especially considering the sexual content in the uncensored comic.
*At the end of ''Sonichu'' #8's Episode 17, there is an advert for "Knothole", boasted as being from the creators of "Log".<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTrAVpK9blw Log Commercial]</ref>

===''[[Wikipedia:Rick and Morty|Rick and Morty]]''===
* [[Dimensions#C-197|Dimension C-197]], where ''Sonichu'' and other animated franchises co-exist, is derived from the prime dimension of Rick and Morty, C-137.

===''[[Wikipedia:Rocko's Modern Life|Rocko's Modern Life]]''===
[[File:Patheticsoul.png|thumb|right|Presumably the fortune cookie Barb got before giving birth to Chris.]]
*When listing [[Mailbag 23#Chris and the dark arts|what various spells he uses]], he claims the [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] inflicts its target with "Bad Luck and Extreme Misfortune". This is a reference from the episode "Fortune Cookie", where secondary character Filburt Shellbach gets a fortune that read "Bad Luck and Extreme Misfortune Will Infest Your Pathetic Soul For All Eternity."

===[[Wikipedia:Sealab 2021|''Sealab 2021'']]===
*In the same [[ED]] edit, Chris included a joke from the ''Sealab 2021'' episode "Legend of Baggy Pants": "What? Pod six doesn't need a Pro Shop, they need a dentist."

===''The Simpsons''===
{{Main|The Simpsons}}

*The parts of [[Sandy Rosechu]]'s design that were not already cannibalized from [[Simonla]] were copied from [[Wikipedia:Lisa Simpson|Lisa Simpson]].

===''South Park''===
{{Main|South Park}}
*[[CADD Chef]] is an obvious ripoff of [[Wikipedia:Chef (South Park)|Jerome "Chef" McElroy]].
*[[Beel]] has a strong resemblance to ''South Park'''s [[Wikipedia:List of supporting characters on South Park#Satan|Satan]].

===''[[Wikipedia:Space Ghost Coast to Coast|Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]''===
*The chant uttered by the guardian of the cave in [[Sonichu 3|''Sonichu'' #3]], "Anoz aelc amulp oerc ikabmol ah ah!", is one of Zorak's chants ("Lombaki Creo Plomo Pleo Zoma Ah Ah!") spelled backwards and mangled. Chris's original attempts to do spells or chants have failed spectacularly, so the stolen chant is one of his better ones.

===''[[wikipedia:SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob SquarePants]]''===
*In [[CWC Update 18 January 2009]], Chris yells "''And you know what else-else?!''" prior to stomping on his [[vibrator]], a line stolen from the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' episode "Pizza Delivery".

===[[Wikipedia:The Brak Show|''The Brak Show'']]===
*In the oft-mentioned [[Random-access_humor#Random_ramblings|ED edit]], Chris included three lines from [[Adult_Swim|''The Brak Show'']], all of them from the same episode ("The New Brak"). The episode centers on [[Liquid_Chris|Brak]] dealing with an [[Christian_Weston_Chandler|annoying impostor]] who shamelessly copies everything Brak does - [[Liquid_Chris#Liquid_Saga|sound familiar]]?

===[[Wikipedia:Tiny Toon Adventures|''Tiny Toon Adventures'']]===
* In [[Sub-Episode 5]], a cuckoo bird chirps out "Cuccoo! Cuccoo! If she thinks he'll never find a [[boyfriend-free girl]] with his method, then [[Slaweel]] is Cuccoo! Cuccoo!" This is a reference to character GoGo DoDo, who'd pop out of Acme Looniversity's clock tower in the longer episodes to say a phrase similar to that.

===''[[Transformers]]''===
{{Main|Transformers}}
*[[Optimus Prime]] mercilessly killing Decepticon spy [[Sarah Jackson]].
*Various Transformer-types appear in [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]].
*During the final battle with Reldnahc, the villain says ''"I've waited an eternity for this. Your life is mine Prime-chan!"''. A similar line is used by Megatron in ''Transformers: The Movie'', in particular during the scene when he fatally wounds Optimus Prime-- ''"I would have waited an eternity for this. It's over, Prime!"''. Even the following circumstances are near-identical, with the wounded heroes both performing one last defiant attack that defeats their respective villain.
*Some villanious Transformers Chris and his recolors did battle with are called "Decepti-Clones". In the ''Transformers'' video game based off of the ''Armada'' anime series released on the PS2, generic enemies were also called "Decepti-Clones".
*A scene in [[Sonichu 4]] blatantly rips off the Quintesson and Trial Scene from ''Transformers: The Movie''. This one's so blatant that it's kind of hard to believe that Chris could be so retarded as to not realize how [[Naive|obvious]] it is.
*The [[Manajerks|W-M-Manajerk]]'s power suit is a flagrant recolor of Spike's Environmental Suit from ''Transformers: The Movie''.
*Sonichu's dialogue "Slaweel is making her big push, and we have to push back!" is likewise recycled from dialogue in ''Transformers: The Movie''.

==Live-action film and television==
===''[[Gilligan's Island]]''===
{{Incomplete}}
*Thurston Howell, III and his wife Lovey make an appearance in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], hinting at the name of the head of [[4-cent_garbage.com]], the infamous [[Jason Kendrick Howell]].

===''[[Monty Python]]''===
{{incomplete}}
{{Main|Monty Python}}
*When [[Darkbind Sonichu]] is fighting the [[B-Manajerk]], a word-for-word copy of the "Black Knight" sketch from [[Wikipedia:Monty Python and the Holy Grail|''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'']] is spoken.
*[[CWCFlyingElephants]]. Need we say more?
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: An impromptu "comedic" sequence making "fun" of [[Jimmy Hill]] starts with "And now for something completely different...", contains a collage of photos and drawings reminiscent of Terry Gilliam's artistic experiments, and features a porcupine shouting: "Dinsdale!"

===[[Wikipedia:Spaceballs|''Spaceballs'']]===
*In the [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]] fight between [[Wes-Li Sonichu]] and [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]], Chris-Chan Sonichu gets his tail singed by a fire blast then exclaims, "You burned my tail! Now it's personal!" before going on the offensive. This is very similar to the scene in ''Spaceballs'' where gun-hating Princess Vespa gets her hair singed by a laser in a firefight and exclaims, "You shot my hair! You son of a bitch!" then proceeds to singlehandedly mow down the attacking Spaceballs with a laser rifle.<ref>https://youtu.be/XPmm2aTY0no?t=4s </ref> While the words aren't identical, he reads the lines with the same cadence and inflection as Vespa's in his [[Sonichu_2_Official_Videobook#Episode_8|Official Videobook]] clip.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zPNU6bXa5o&t=486s (''Relevant portion from 8:06 to 8:12'')</ref>

===[[Wikipedia:Carrie (film)|''Carrie'']]===

*Chris's "[[High School Story]]" is an amalgamation of Stephen King's ''Carrie'', and Chris's own [[high school]] experience. Its main character, Terrah, is bullied and underappreciated, so she murders everyone with her psychic powers.

===''[[Wikipedia:Power Rangers|Power Rangers]]''===
{{Main|Power Rangers}}
*In [[Sub-Episode 8]], Chris is given advice by the [[Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan]] and as he leaves, he tells him "May the Anchuent Powers Protect You", a butchering of Zordon's ''Star Wars''-inspired phrase "May the Power protect you."
*In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], the CWC-Power Rangers are introduced, but never seen with the sole exception of Kart Megazord.
*[[Silvana]]'s basic existence, back story, and partial appearance (but not her [[pickle]]) are copied directly from a villain, [[wikipedia:Villains_in_Power_Rangers_in_Space#Astronema|Astronema]], from ''[[wikipedia:Power_Rangers_in_Space|Power Rangers in Space]]''
*In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris introduces a terrible new song entitled "[[Revive Zordon]]", which displays his wish for the return of the "original" Power Rangers team.

===''Saw''===
{{Main|Saw}}
*Louis Perez, appearing in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] to apprehend [[Inos]], could be named after the character from the ''Saw'' franchise (possibly a relative, as Lindsey Perez from the movies is female). Chris has previously stated that the ''Saw'' series is one of his favorite movie franchises.<ref>[[Common_Questions#31_December_2009]]</ref> Both characters are [[Chris and Race#Black_people|black]] policemen, making the "inspiration" much more likely.
*The execution of the [[Asperpedia]] crew in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] is performed through what equates to elaborate death traps, similar to what is seen in the ''Saw'' series. They certainly have more in common with those movies than with anything resembling actual state-sponsored executions.

===''[[Wikipedia:Independence Day (film)|Independence Day]]''===
*In the [[Christian Love Day video]], he recited a modified version of the speech that President Thomas J. Whitmore makes before making a last stand against the aliens, which shows just how ridiculously corny he can get.

===[[Wikipedia:Alien (film)|''Alien'']]===
*When Chris is stranded in the [[Time Void]] in [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], the words "In space, no one can hear you scream, in time you are heard to infinity" are narratively spoken. The phrase "In space, no one can hear you scream" comes from the promotional material for ''Alien''.

===[[Wikipedia:Lewis Black's Root of All Evil|''Lewis Black's Root of All Evil'']]===
*This Comedy Central show featuring Lewis Black as a judge was ripped off in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], where the judge at the trial, named "Slack Lewis," greatly resembles Black.

===''[[Wikipedia:Lethal Weapon 2|Lethal Weapon 2]]''===
*The exploding-toilet death of [[Simonla Rosechu|Simonla]] was ripped off from the near-death of [[Wikipedia:Roger Murtaugh|Roger Murtaugh]] by exploding toilet in ''Lethal Weapon 2''.

===''Star Wars''===
{{Main|Star Wars}}
* In [[Sonichu 8#Episode 17: "Rage Against the Machine"|Sonichu #8]], Jason's throne appears to resemble [[wikipedia:Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]]'s throne in [[wikipedia:Return of the Jedi|''Return of the Jedi'']].
* Chris once told [[Jackie]] in [[Jackie e-mails|their e-mail exchanges]] that he essentially planned to make the backstory of [[Wild Sonichu]] a rip-off of the relationship between [[Wikipedia:Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]] and [[Wikipedia:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]] (Vader being Luke's father turned evil, for the few of you living in caves).

===[[Wikipedia:This Is Spinal Tap|''This Is Spinal Tap'']]===
*During the "[[Revive Zordon]]" performance, the speaker blurts out that the volume is "Cranked up to Eleven." We can only hope that Chris ripped this joke off directly rather than referencing something else referencing ''Spinal Tap''.

===''[[Wikipedia:Terminator 2: Judgment Day|Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]''===
*Chris's [[Sonichu Special 4|threat on the life of]] [[Liquid Chris]] contains a number of elements from the film:
**The top speed of 65 mph during the escape scene
**The Terminator shooting an enemy in the legs, saying "He'll live."

===[[wikipedia:Superman (1978 film)|''Superman: The Movie'']]===
*The time-travel in ''Sonichu'' #7. Magi-Chan states that he can allow himself, Chris and Sonichu to travel through time by sending them counter-clockwise around the world, appearing to copy Superman's time-travel sequence (by flying around the world at a near-relativistic speed) [[Slow-in-the-minds|without understanding]] how that was supposed to work.

===[[wikipedia:The Three Stooges|''The Three Stooges'']]===
*At the start of the [[KCWC Top 10 Dedication Special]], Chris does a fake advertisement for "Brighto", a product ripped off from ''The Three Stooges'' short "[[wikipedia:Dizzy Doctors|Dizzy Doctors]]".

==Video games==
===[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda|''The Legend of Zelda'']]===
{{incomplete}}
*The characters [[Darkbind Sonichu]] and [[Zelina Rosechu]] are rip-offs of [[Wikipedia:Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] and [[Wikipedia:Princess Zelda|Zelda]] respectively, the two main characters from the series, alongside being rip-offs of elements from the cartoon series ''Darkwing Duck'', strangely enough.
*The entire subplot about Darkbind and Zelina, involving Zelina being put under a sleeping spell by an [[Clawdorf|evil wizard]] and Darkbind setting off to reawaken her with a [[Sonichu Balls|powerful artifact]], is taken nearly verbatim from the story of ''[[Wikipedia:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''. There, the Link from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda (video game)|first game]] goes on an adventure to find a powerful artifact, in this case the Triforce of Courage, in order to awaken the original Zelda from a sleeping curse put on her by- you guessed it, an evil wizard.
*The land of "[[RuleCWC]]" is a not-so subtle ripoff of Hyrule- right down to aspects including the name and its castle.
*In the [[Wallflower E-mails 2|Wallflower E-mails]], Chris claims that Darkbind Sonichu was trained in RuleCWC forest by a "rogue master swordsman" and an owl named King Alistair. These are obvious ripoffs of [[Wikipedia:Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] and [[Wikipedia:Characters_in_The_Legend_of_Zelda_series#Kaepora_Gaebora|Kaepora Gaebora]].

===[[Wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|''Mobile Suit Gundam'']]===
*During the [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] Saga, Chris drew box art for ''[[John's Custom Gundam: Sisterly Rescue]]'', one of Chris's many fake box arts for his imaginary games. What's unique about this one is that it involves Megan Schroeder and her brother John. Despite being about Megan, it is not a [[rape]] simulator, but instead believed to be a ripoff of [[Wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo|''Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo'']].

===[[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']]===
*In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Sonichu]] performs a Flash Kick on [[Slaweel]].
*[[Chris-Chan Sonichu]]'s attack "Hyper Beam" looks a lot like one of [[Wikipedia:Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]]'s super combos, the "Shinku Hadouken". It appears in [[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]].
*In [[Sonichu Special 4]], [[Kacey]]'s father resembles [[Wikipedia:Guile (Street Fighter)|Guile]].

===[[Wikipedia:Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]===
{{incomplete}}

''Mario'' is a video game series conceived by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and has been the mascot of [[Nintendo]] for decades. While [[Sonic]] has fallen into a self-induced pit of horrifying shit, probably never to escape, Mario has stayed consistently good for all this time. Despite this, Chris very much favors Sonic, as he only has a passing interest in Mario. However, he has enough interest to rip it off from time to time.

*The Wing Cap ability from [[Wikipedia:Super Mario 64|''Super Mario 64'']] is ripped off in [[Sonichu 3|Sub-Episode 4]], where Chris flies around with wings on his head. They are later discarded, and Chris is strangely shown flying without them.
*His concept for ''Sonic The Hedgehog 64'', as expressed in his [[Hand-drawn Nintendo Power magazine]], is nothing more than ''Super Mario 64'' with [[Sonic]] and [[Tails]]. Literally.

===[[Wikipedia:Brütal Legend|''Brütal Legend'']]===
{{Main|Brutal Legend|Brutal Legend Plus}}
*In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], during the introduction of the [[Samurai Pizza Bots]], [[Armoraxe]] uses a move that looks and acts exactly like the Solo "[[nudes|Face Melter]]" from the game. The only difference is that the move is called "Metal Melter".
*The devil [[trolls]] that appear to carry [[CChanSonichuCWC|IBAChandler]] away after he is defeated by [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] seem to be a rip-off of the fans that appear to carry you off when you are defeated during a stage battle in ''Brütal Legend''. This is confirmed by the [[Christian Weston Chandler|retarded]] phrase written next to the same panel in the comic, "Hmm, What 'Legend' brought these [[fanbase|fans]]?"
*In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris using the power of [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys (band)|music]] and [[Son-Chu|stage]] to destroy the [[4-cent_garbage.com#The 4-cent_garbage building|4-cent_garbage building]] may have been inspired by ''Brütal Legend'''s Stage Battles. Son-Chu ''does'' turns into a giant stage which resembles Ironheade's megastage, but rather than offer a fair fight Chris just Guitar Heroes his opponents into oblivion instantly.
*[[Simonla]] gives [[Wild Sonichu]] her lucky shark's tooth necklace, similar to when Eddie Riggs gives Ophelia his mother's shark tooth-like necklace in ''Brütal Legend''.

===''[[God of War]]''===
*[[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]. [[Collosal Chan]] pulls out lightning bolt versions of Kratos's Blades to fight [[Mary Lee Walsh|Slaweel]].

===''[[Wikipedia:PaRappa the Rapper|PaRappa the Rapper]]''===
*In preparation for the "[[Revive Zordon]]" performance, [[Sonichu]] puts on PaRappa's hat and becomes as flat and two-dimensional as PaRappa (not to mention his own character), then says PaRappa's catchphrase "I gotta believe!"

===''Gears of War''===
*In [[Sonichu 12-9]], Chris copied the names of the months in the [[My Little Pony|Equestarian]] calendar from the names of the seasons on planet Sera. The only names he skipped are "Brume" and "Sorrow".<Ref>[https://gearsofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Seasons_on_Sera]</ref>

==Web original==
===Jessi Slaughter===
*In [[Lars' Ship has Sunk.MOV]], Chris says "The consequences will never be the same," mimicking the famous line "Consequences will never be the same!" as said by the father of the trolling/cyberbullying victim [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessi_Slaughter_cyberbullying_case Jessi Slaughter]. As it turned out, Chris was simply repeating something Jackie told him to say, and at the time probably never seen nor heard of the video in question.

===emgo316===
In late 2016, Chris began watching a YouTube channel named [https://www.youtube.com/user/emgo316/featured emgo316], which reviews Transformers action figures in the form of skits. Chris ripped off the channel's style with [[The Alpha Trion/"Young Warrior" Challenge]] and [[Skylanders Imaginators Leader Christine W Chandler: random Review N' Stuff]].

==Western comics==
===Marvel===
*In [[July 2018]], Chris conversed with Seanan McGuire, a writer for Marvel, over Twitter. Thinking McGuire was an expert on [[Chris and reality|multiple dimension theory]], he asked her which dimension our Earth is in. She replied, "Earth 1218," thinking he was referring to comics; however, Chris took her answer as real and subsequently began to refer to himself as being from Earth 1218<ref>[[July 2018 social media posts]]</ref>.

===''[[Wikipedia:Spider-Man|Spider-Man]]''===
*[[Wild Sonichu]] is a partial ripoff of [[Clyde's Buddy Matt Getting SUPER-LAID!!!|Spider-Man]], a Marvel Comics superhero who can shoot long web strings from his wrists to swing across the city and entangle his enemies. Wild showcases a similar ability, but with vines (coincidentally resembling Spider-Plant-Man, a British [[Hello, Juffalo|''Comic Relief'']] spoof of Spider-Man played by Rowan Atkinson). While Peter Parker shoots web from his wrist, Wild shoots his vines from the back of his hand, bearing a little more resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Venom (Marvel Comics)|Venom]], a villain who shares virtually the same powers as Spider-Man. Similarly, Wild can also climb walls with relative ease, though it's not clear whether he's just a good climber or if he literally clings to walls, as Spider-Man does.
*In [[Sonichu 2]], when Chris has an out-of-body experience to communicate with the [[Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan]], his ancestor tells him "With the powers you have released, comes great responsibilities!". This is stolen from a recurring moral lesson (which Chris took completely out-of-context) within Spider-Man lore that "with great power comes great responsibility", which is often inaccurately attributed as a quote from the character [[wikipedia:Ben Parker (comics)|Uncle Ben]]. Chris probably took this line from the 2002 [[wikipedia:Spider-Man (2002 film)|live-action film]].
*In [[Sonichu 5]], Chris claims that his "sixth sense is tingling", blatantly knocking off of Spider-Man's "spider-sense" catch phrase.

===[[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|''The Incredible Hulk'']]===
*[[Rosechu]]'s bat-shit insane [[Rape|rapist]] form, now known as [[the Incredible Lioness]], is a ripoff of the Hulk, a scientist and Avenger in the Marvel Universe who transforms into a [[Obesity|gigantic]], [[POWER|super-strong]], [[Slow-in-the-minds|child-minded]] monster when he becomes [[Virgin with rage|enraged]] or [[Stress|agitated]]. While Rosechu didn't turn green (and seeing as she's an [[wikipedia:Abomination_(comics)|abomination]] already, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that she's already bathed in gamma radiation), she gets pissed off when [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] launches a [[pickle]] at her and she tears him a new one for [[Women's rights|women's rights]] or something.

===[[wikipedia:Wolverine (comics)|''Wolverine'']]===
*As of [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], [[Simonla Rosechu]] is a partial ripoff of Wolverine, a mutant in the Marvel Universe with claws and regenerative abilities. It was revealed that Simonla [[Retroactive continuity|survived her assassination attempt]] apparently because of her skeleton, which is made out of a metal "similar to adamantanium", clearly ripped off from "[[wikipedia:Adamantium|adamantium]]", a fictional, indestructible metal in the Marvel Universe which coats Wolverine's skeleton and claws. Simonla also gains a healing factor similar to Wolverine.

==Songs==
*Everything from the [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] albums is sung over another song; this may be Chris's biggest showing of plagiarism yet, aside from [[Sonichu (comic)|his own comic]].
*[[Jiggliami]]'s song, "War of Love," is a ripoff of "Love Is War," a [[Wikipedia:Supercell_(band)|Supercell]] song using [[Wikipedia:Vocaloid|Miku Hatsune]] for vocals. While Blanca wrote the ripoff, Chris was more than willing to use it in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]].
*The product number for [[John's Custom Gundam]] is [[Wikipedia:867-5309/Jenny|8675309]].

==Commercials==
*In [[Sonichu 1]], Chris interrupts Rosechu and Amy Rose's vapid girl talk because "[he'd] like to save time...and [[Chris and money|money]] on [his] [[Son-Chu|car]] insurance by switching over to 'Get-Co!'"

==The Bible==
*While Chris was [[Jail Saga|incarcerated]], like all inmates he was given a copy of the Bible. It appears he actually read it, or at the very least one of the Gospels' accounts of Jesus's life and crucifixion. Chris apparently identified with the [[Kick the Autistic|suffering]] of Jesus so much that he [[Angelica Rosechu's Christmas Play|made it a part of Sonichu]].

==List of fiction Chris has referenced and otherwise bastardized==
While Chris's [[Sonichu|masterpiece]] is chock-full of shameless ripoffs and copyright infringements, there are some references to works of fiction which can't be actually considered "ripping off," but manage to ruin the franchise in question nevertheless, for the sole fact of being referenced in [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'']]. These are mostly instances of Chris either including a minor reference to a work of fiction, or just mentioning it, in his comics. While it's not considered a crime ''de jure'', it still may be called a crime against humanity, whose culture Chris has thus bastardized.

''Note that when such minor references concern works or franchises already listed in the main ripoff list above, they're added there, not here. It was done so that it would be easier to see how much has Chris managed to bastardize each franchise.''

===[[Wikipedia:Batman|Batman]]===
*[[Sonichu 8#Episode 17|''Sonichu'' #8, Episode 17, page 35]]: <nowiki>*</nowiki>For reasons unexplained, a photograph of the DC Comics superhero Batman appears on the wall of [[Allison Amber]]'s office. Christorians suspect this is either a reference to former Batman actor [[wikipedia:Adam West|Adam West]]'s fictitious Mayorhood on ''Family Guy'', or that Allison's alluded boyfriend is in fact the Dark Knight himself.

===[[Bugs Bunny]]===
*[[Sonichu 1#Episode 6|''Sonichu'' #1]]: [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] says to the startled [[Dr. Robotnik]]: "Eh... You were expecting, maybe Bugs Bunny?".
*[[Sonichu 3#Episode 11|''Sonichu'' #3]]: When Blake, the knockoff Shadow, goes to steal The Master Sunstone, the rip off Master Emerald, from Flame the Sunbird, he randomly states "Whats up, Doc?"- Bugs Bunny's catchphrase
*[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]]: [[Simonla Rosechu]] appears to the other Rosechus via burrowing through the ground, in the vein of Bugs. In the same panel, she loosely paraphrases his "should'a taken that left turn in Albuquerque" phrase.
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: Bugs himself appears in the ''[[Monty Python]]''-esque collage, lecturing the toothless photograph of [[Jimmy Hill]] (who was implied to have sold counterfeit Warner Bros. merchandise in the past) on the evils of [[Chris and copyright|copyright infringement]].

===''[[Wikipedia:Dig Dug|Dig Dug]]''===
*[[Sonichu 9#Episode 19|''Sonichu'' #9]]: [[Simonla]]'s screen name is "DigDugette416".
**In the same episode, [[Layla]] jokes that Simonla only needs a pump to "fully dig the dug," whatever that means.

===[[Wikipedia:Fight Club (film)|''Fight Club'']] and [[Wikipedia:Chuck Palahniuk|Chuck Palahniuk]]===
*[[Sonichu 1#Sub-Episode 2|''Sonichu'' #1]]: [[Hanna]] tells Chris that she likes reading books by "Chuck Pala[[duck]]" [sic], who is also (according to Chris's footnote) "the director of the movie "Fight Club" (well, maybe he believes that [[Wikipedia:David Fincher|David Fincher]] is just Chuck's alternate personality?)... Yes, "Chuck Pala'''[[duck]]'''".
*If Chris has actually seen the movie, it may be the influence behind [[30 August 2009|"Christopher"]].

===[[Wikipedia:Grand Theft Auto|''Grand Theft Auto'']]===
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] orders: "[[Beel]]! Prepare for Grand Theft [[Medallion of Fail|Medal]]!"

===''[[Guitar Hero]]''===
*In ''[[Sonichu 10]]'', Christian & The Hedgehog Boys destroy the 4-Cent_Garbage building with help from the Guitar Hero rendition of Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever".

===''[[LittleBigPlanet]]''===
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: For no reason at all, Sackboy appears at the bottom of the page and recites an anti-pirate advertisement for "LittleBigPlanet" and Chris's [[LittleBigPlanet videos#Sonichu Episode 1 LittleBIGPlanet Level|Level of Fail]].

===''[[Wikipedia:My Best Friend's Wedding|My Best Friend's Wedding]]''===
*[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' episode 12 is named "My Best Friend's [[Cherokian]] Wedding."

===[[R.L. Stine]]===
*In [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], Chris tells Megan that his inspiration to create [[Bionic the Hedgehog]] struck while he was reading "a 'Fear Street' novel from my favorite author R.L. Stein".
**In the same issue he reminisces: "When I read a 'Goosebumps' or 'Fear Street' book back in the day, I'd fill each character role with ones from the wide-world of Sonic the Hedgehog. Sometimes, I would put myself in a lead role, but before I was able to, I had to train my brain to visually remember what I looked like from a mirror."

===''[[Sprung]]''===
*[[Sonichu 1#Sub-Episode 2|''Sonichu'' #1]]: Chris is shown playing ''Sprung'' on his [[Nintendo]] DS for dating tips before going on a date with [[Hanna]]. He reads the infamous "So, do angels have names?" compliment and notes that it "sounds right."

===[[Wikipedia:Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde|''Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'']]===
*[[Magical Man Potion]]: Chris drinks a [[Semen|magical concoction]] and transforms into an entirely different [[troll|being]], before reverting to his own self. Due to the fact that the transformation is "from [[Chris|bumbling]] to [[Liquid Chris|suave]]" rather than "from [[Chris and religion|moral]] to [[Death threats|cruel]]", as well as the extreme unlikelihood of him knowing classical Scottish literature, he probably stole the concept from ''[[Wikipedia:The Nutty Professor|The Nutty Professor]]'', a parodic work of Jekyll and Hyde.

===[[Wikipedia:B-Daman|''B-Daman'']]===
*[[Sonichu 1#Episode6|''Sonichu'' #1]]: Sonic curls up into a ball and enters a pocket of whatever in Sonichu's stomach, upon which Sonichu fires him out at Metal Sonichu which also is the form of a ball. At first, this looks like a reference to balls, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be a ripoff of the Japanese Anime and Toy series B-Daman, which involves small cute robot-like characters firing balls out of their stomachs at other balls.

===[[Wikipedia:Star Trek|''Star Trek'']]===
*Both within the comics and in his real-life presentations, he uses the phrase "[[Captain's Log]]" a reference to the opening of most ''Star Trek'' episodes and movies. He's never seen anything of the franchise, but he felt the need to rip it off anyway. That's Chris for you.

===[[Wikipedia:Happy Tree Friends|''Happy Tree Friends'']]===
*In ''Sonichu'' #10, Chris mentions the "Happy Tree Friends-esque" deaths of the Chaotic Combo in Asperchu, implying that he's seen the show a few times.

[[Image:090-CWComicalHug.jpg|thumb|ORIGINAL!]]
[[Image:191-sealSchu.jpg|thumb|The TRUE and HONEST Seal of Originality.]]

As every [[True and Loyal Fanbase|fan]] of [[Chris]] is probably aware of, our hero has quite the imagination. But some argue that due to [[Chris and stress|stress]] and the mental block that is [[Autism]], his powerful and mighty artistic ordeals cannot come to fruition. So he just does what every good TV/book/movie writer does: he goes and '''steals an enormous amount of things''' from other places.

To his credit, plagiarizing isn't easy. After all, how do you grab something that comes from another person's mind, adapt it to your own storyline and make it so that it fits in, without having whatever it is that you stole stand out like an [[Obesity|obese]] [[Honor roll|fool]] with [[The Classic|a red-and-blue-striped shirt]] in the middle of a crowd? Being the genius comic book creator that he is, he feels that he doesn't need to bother with details such as a good plot, readability, or even consistency. Just stick in a few bouts of [[random-access humor]] that he found in some sort of form of media, and you got yourselves a new installment in the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comics]].

Chris holds a [[Chris and reality|belief]] that all of fiction exists in an alternative "cartoon" universe, ''à la'' ''{{w|Who Framed Roger Rabbit}}'', with [[Asperchu|no exceptions]], so he probably believes that this justifies his plagiaristic tendencies. The world in which ''Sonichu'' takes place is fundamentally built on the creations of others, probably because Chris spends most of his time watching television and that is the way in which he engages with his limited imagination. With all the characters and concepts stolen from other works of fiction crammed into the ''Sonichu'' comics, the mythology of [[CWCville]] is an unwieldy, confusing pastiche of bullshit which frequently fuses together franchises that are unrelated or even contradictory. ''{{w|The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen}}'', this is not.

While some of Chris's creations, including [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] himself, are individual entities which are technically not stolen (though many of their substantial elements very-much are), he often outright steals established, well-known characters and elements from other works of fiction, and he simply hopes their rightful owners do not notice. He makes no attempt to veil their derivative nature and has shown that he has no preparatory plan for any incident where he's confronted with intellectual property claims. According to Chris, stealing [[copyright]]ed material is fine ([[Asperchu|unless it's his own]]), as long as you indicate that whatever it is you’re doing is a "[[parody]]" of the original material. In accordance to U.S. copyright law, this is technically true, so this probably means that, unless he decides to make money out of his "artwork," he isn't going to have the law knocking on his door, but the question of whether or not ''Sonichu'' qualifies as parody is an [[Parody#Why Sonichu is not a parody|article in its own right]].

Below is a non-exhaustive list of stolen intellectual property:

==Main influences==
===Sonic the Hedgehog===
{{Main|Sonic the Hedgehog}}

*His pride and glory [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], which, as we all know, is a recolor of Sonic the Hedgehog with [[Pikachu]]'s tail and ears. In his comic book debut he is created when the "[[Perfect Chaos Monster]]" attacks Station Square, which, by the way, is a direct ripoff of the end of ''{{w|Sonic Adventure}}''.
*Sonichu's girlfriend [[Rosechu (character)|Rosechu]] is just [[Amy Rose]] with a Raichu tail.
*Of course, Sonichu’s evil twin brother [[Blake]] (Black Sonichu, Blachu) also comes from the same line of original creativity Chris has got us accustomed to. This dark version of Sonichu is a complete ripoff of {{w|Shadow the Hedgehog}}.
*The "[[Chaotic Combo]]" is a mesh of ''Sonic'' characters recolored with various deformities, and their name is a copy of the {{w|List of Sonic the Hedgehog video game characters#Chaotix|Chaotix}}: including [[Angelica]] being a white hedgehog that has wings, or [[Punchy Sonichu]] being an Oriental version of {{w|Knuckles the Echidna}}.
*Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy Rose and [[Doctor Robotnik]] make an appearance in [[Sonichu_1|Sonichu Issue #1]], with Sonic and Amy juxtaposing themselves with their barely-distinguishable counterparts.
*The [[Legendary Master Sunstone]] is a rip-off of the Master Emerald.
*[[Bionic the Hedgehog]] is another recolor of Sonic.
*[[Metal Sonichu]] is a recolor of Metal Sonic with Pikachu ears and a tail.
*The [[Sonichu Balls]] are essentially just stand-ins for the Chaos Emeralds, and may also be plagiarized in part from ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]''.
*[[Ultra Sonichu]] is a rip-off of Super Sonic.
*The [[Sonees and Roseys]] greatly resemble Chao, but uglier.
*The inspiration for creating evil versions of characters with [[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc|backwards]] [[Mary_Lee_Walsh|names]] came from the comic characters Doctor Ovi Kintobor (Ivo Robotnik spelled backwards) the Anti-Robotnik (Archie) and pre-evil Robotnik (Fleetway).<ref>http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Ivo_Kintobor</ref>

===Pokémon===
{{Main|Pokémon}}

*Like the previously mentioned Sonichu and Rosechu characters ripping off Sonic the Hedgehog, they also rip off various Pokémon, mostly Pikachu and Raichu, combined with other Pokémon.
*The character [[Jiggliami]] is a humanoid variation of a Jigglypuff.
*The so-called [[Sonichu Balls]] are designed like various Poké Balls, though they also function like other items.
*Sonees are also slightly edited Pichu, with a bit of Chao mixed in.
*Moves. As if ripping off their looks weren't enough, Chris also rips off their attacks such as "Thunderbolt" or "Sky Uppercut".
*Many of the cards on Chris's [[Wall of Originals]] are obviously based on character concepts or illustrations from the Pokémon games. (Christian's Maychu, to use one example, imitates the official illustration of the Pokémon Hitmonlee.)
*[[Sonichite]], a total rip-off of Pokemon's Mega Stone concept.

===Chris's fanbase===
*'''Days Of Our Hogs/Wish You Were Hare''' [[Sonichu 12]] discusses Sonichu and Rosechu's wedding - with a few elements largely ripping off [[:Category:Fan_Comic_1|a fan comic by Jon Crayon]] - mainly Rosechu walking in on Sonichu and a naked Bubbles
*'''Rosechu's Story''' [[Sonichu 15]] plagiarizes elements of [http://rosechustory.tumblr.com/ a fancomic about Rosechu].

==[[Anime]]==
===''[[Wikipedia:Digimon|Digimon]]''===
* [[Ultra Sonichu]]'s Chaotic Remedy is a blatant copy of [[Wikipedia:Patamon#MagnaAngemon|MagnaAngemon's Magna Antidote]] attack.

===''[[Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball/Z/GT]]''===
*[[Chris-chan Sonichu]]'s famed attack, the [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] (later Shin-ye-ha-me-ha), is based on the famed Kamehameha attack.
*The Sonichu Balls, though resembling Poké Balls, seem to function more like the titular Dragon Balls, as they are able to grant a wish when all are brought together.
*Ultra Sonichu heavily resembles Super Saiyans, both in behavior and appearance.
*[[Collosal Chan]] is Chris's really terrible attempt at ripping off Super Saiyan 4 from ''Dragon Ball GT'', which is a combination of the Super Saiyan and Great Ape forms.
*[[Mypoe]] ripped off [[Punchy]]'s tail because it was a "weak spot"; the same "weak spot" exists for Saiyans (unless said tail has been removed) and several Saiyans have theirs removed for the same reason.

===''Excel Saga''===
{{Main|Excel Saga}}

*A veritable hellstorm of shameless rips from this series appears in the ''Sonichu'' comics, in a way nearly as pervasive as Pokémon and Sonic the Hedgehog, yet comparatively subtler because he steals one-liners and monologues more than characters or storylines.
*...although he does indeed steal characters (like Mypoe and Nabeshin and [[Bagget|the Jerkop Daitenzen]]) from time to time.
*It is also possible that Chris stole the [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] from the parody "Nabehameha" from ''Excel Saga'' (which was essentially a Kamehameha attack, except shaped like an afro).

===''{{w|Gurren Lagann}}''===
*The character of [[Simonla Rosechu]] is a ripoff of a "fanmade" Sonichu named [[Simonchu]] who, in turn, is ripped off from the main character of the series, Simon the Digger.
**It should be noted that Chris has probably never seen ''Gurren Lagann'', and as such misinterpreted several aspects of Simonchu's design that were intended to be referential to Simon: his cape became Simonla's shell, and his Core Drill pendant became a shark's tooth necklace.
**When Chris was forced to kill off Simonla in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], he promptly created [[Sandy Rosechu]], Simonla's daughter. She is essentially exactly the same design-wise, except she is yellow and has a different hairstyle.

===''{{w|Inuyasha}}''===
*In [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]], [[Saramah Rosechu]] pins [[Wes-Li Sonichu]] to a tree, Wes making the statement "Where did this non-sacred tree come from?" This is a "[[Random-access humor|hilarious gag]]" referring to InuYasha's origin story, wherein he was pinned by an arrow to a cursed tree by priestess/crack shot/vengeful ex-girlfriend {{w|List of Inuyasha characters#Kikyo|Kikyo}}. Also, with some imagination and enough [[alcohol]], one can see that a cloud in the background in one of the panels is shaped vaguely like InuYasha's head.
*Chris also has a [[Marvey Blaziken|Blaziken]] in his Pokémon team named "Inuyasha", which was only revealed on the [[CWCipedia]].<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu Sonichu] on the [[CWCipedia]]</ref> It's likely that this is the same Blaziken seen training with [[Sandy]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], though he is not identified by name in that comic. The name makes absolutely no sense, as [[Honor roll|the literal translation of Inuyasha means "dog demon"]].

===''{{w|Kekko Kamen}}''===
*The face-rape of [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]] is based on the '''Pubic Hair Jump''', a move by which the title character of ''Kekko Kamen'' kills her enemies.

===''{{w|Macross Frontier}}''===
*Chris's infamous drawing of [[Jiggliami]] was copied from a picture by [[Blanca]], who copied the pose from a popular picture of Ranka Lee, one of the major characters of the series.

===''{{w|Pretty Cure}}''===
{{quote|"This is so "Pretty Cure"! I'M BACK!"|[[Chris-chan Sonichu]], [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].}}

*''Pretty Cure'' spoofs the ridiculous costumes, magical schoolgirls, and attack names of other anime series. The [[Chrs-Chan_Pure_Pulse-Jolt_Lance|Chrs-Chan [sic] Pure Pulse Jolt Lance]] (the attack that [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]] and [[Crystalina Rosechu]] are able to perform with their combined Hedgehog powers) is stolen from this series, and even though its original counterpart was given a ridiculous name, Chris felt the need to make it sound like some idiot had just mashed some random words into an attack name for his own version. ''Oh wait...''
* Also noteworthy is that Chris copied (and butchered) the pre-attack catch phases and attack poses. Most of these rip-offs occur in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]] and [[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]].

===''Sailor Moon''===
{{Main|Sailor Moon}}

*[[Sailor Megtune]], Chris's hideously inappropriate SI Mary Sue for [[Megan]], combines elements of the various heroines from the series, though the name is based on {{w|Sailor Neptune}}.
*The [[Dark Mirror Hole]] may be a reference to a number of related ''Sailor Moon'' places/items, including the Black Dream Hole of [[Wikipedia:Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie|''Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie'']], and a mirror-like item that was used by Queen Nehellenia in the first six episodes of ''Sailor Moon Sailor Stars'' and the majority of ''Sailor Moon SuperS''.

===[[Wikipedia:Samurai Pizza Cats|''Samurai Pizza Cats'']]===
*In the aforementioned random-access humor ED edit, Chris quoted a joke from the US-dubbed version of SPC: "Quiet everybody, Emperor Fred has an announcement...FRED".
*He created the [[Samurai Pizza Bots]], which is a ripoff of both ''Samurai Pizza Cats'' and [[Transformers]]. They make several appearances in the comic to help [[Sonichu]] battle the [[Jerkops]].
*Punchy Sonichu, provider of random-access humor, has referenced this series a few times.

===''Yu-Gi-Oh!''===
{{Main|Yu-Gi-Oh!}}

*[[Sarah Hammer]]'s husband-to-be is depicted as Jack's Knight, a ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' monster. Chris had no idea what he looked like, so naturally he depicted him as a Yu-Gi-Oh card.<ref>http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Jack's_Knight</ref>
*For no given reason, Chris (and Chris alone) tends to use various ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' items during his battles (especially extremely convenient trap cards) and is even depicted using a Duel Disk when dealing with [[Wes Iseli]].

==Western animation==
===''The Adventures of The American Rabbit''===
{{Main|The Adventures of The American Rabbit}}

*Chris stole many concepts for his [[Love Quest]] and lines from this movie for use in the comics ("I will, thank you father" from the cover of [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]] is a line uttered by Robert Rabbit).

===[[Wikipedia:American Dad!|''American Dad!'']]===
*Chris has referred to [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] as "[[Chris and hypocrisy|the Dork of Ages]]", a phrase taken from the episode "[[Wikipedia:Dungeons and Wagons|Dungeons and Wagons]]".

===''Aqua Teen Hunger Force''===
{{Main|Aqua Teen Hunger Force}}
*The ''ATHF'' characters appear in one panel in [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]], along with Meatwad's old catchphrase, "The bun is in your mind."
*Chris (badly) painted one of his Guitar Hero guitars to look like Meatwad's toy guitar.

===''Beavis and Butt-head''===
{{Main|Beavis and Butt-head}}

*In [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], Beavis and Butt-head appear in a gag directly stolen from the original cartoon series. (although Chris does write "Apologies to Mike Judge" and "Source of joke: Beavis and Butt-head's 'Substitute'").

===[[Wikipedia:Darkwing Duck|''Darkwing Duck'']]===
*[[Darkbind Sonichu]] is a partial ripoff of this series' main character – Darkwing Duck.
*The font Chris uses to write "Darkbind" is traced from the show's logo.
*Upon arriving, Darkbind recites a completely bastardized version of Darkwing Duck's trademark entrance speeches. The main change is that the original speeches were filled with tongue-in-cheek irony, while Chris's version is completely serious and unnecessarily pompous.
*Chris calls Darkbind "D.B.", reminiscent of how Darkwing Duck's sidekick Launchpad McQuack calls him "D.W."
*[[Princess Zelina Rosechu]] may be a partial ripoff of Darkwing Duck's girlfriend Morgana McCawber (though this theory is debatable).

===''[[Wikipedia:Ed, Edd n Eddy|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]''===
*In one of his ED edits, Chris added a huge wall of random-access humor, including a joke from the episode "One + One = Ed": "Carrots are good for your eyes, can it dial a phone?", originally said by Ed.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg5_OEhzuuI</ref>
*In the video [[CWCFlyingElephants]], a nude Chris repeatedly bashes his head on his bed like a [[slow-in-the-mind]], and quotes another line from Ed, from the episode "Stop, Look and Ed": "I'm a woodpecker! Except with dirt!".<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6YLmzrNVw0</ref> His bed not being made of dirt ([[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|though it probably contains a fair bit of it]]), it just makes no sense.

===''[[Family Guy]]''===
{{Main|Family Guy}}
*In [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], Chris meets [[Sammy]], who resembles Peter Griffin, who goes through a series of incidents involving sequences from Filmation's ''[[Ghostbusters]]''.
*In [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], Chris directly lifts a gag in which a news anchor delivers a serious professional story, then immediately jumps to excited coverage of Spring Break.
*The title of his bizarre rap video, "[[IPods_Down_and_Listen_Up]]", was lifted from "[[Wikipedia:Prick Up Your Ears (Family Guy)|Prick Up Your Ears]]", in which the reverend teaching the high school about abstinence starts his performance by telling the kids, "Put your Walkmans down and listen up".
*Page 15 of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu #10'']] is a dead ringer for the scene in the episode "{{w|Wasted Talent}}," in which Peter trips and falls, injuring his knee, then spends an inordinately long time clutching it and groaning in pain.<ref>[[:File:SchuComic10P15.jpg]]</ref>
*Page 36 of ''Sonichu #10'' imitates Peter and Lois's [[Fabricated BDSM texts|BDSM]] bedroom scene from the episode "Let's Go to the Hop."<ref>[[:File:SchuComic10P36.jpg]]</ref>
*At the end of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Marvey Blaziken tells the reader that "inspiration does not have a schedule". On ''Family Guy'', this exact phrase was spoken by New Brian during the episode "[[Wikipedia:The Man with Two Brians|The Man with Two Brians]]" before he proceeds to sing about [[Chris Sings Fart Song for Flora|farting]]. Naturally, the phrase referred to New Brian fitting in writing a song (about farting) into his already-busy schedule of helping out the family.
*In ''Sonichu'' #10, Chris makes out with [[Silvana]] disguised as [[Meg Griffin]]. This means that in the cultural enclave that is CWCville, Meg Griffin appears to be both a fictional character of whom Chris has a peculiar sexual interest (''Sonichu'' #7), but also somebody who can just show up with little surprise from Chris.
*In [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], one of Sonichu's kids is playing the Virgin Mary in a school play, she says "I'm the Virgin Mary, that's my story and I'm sticking to it". This is said by Joe's wife Bonnie in "[[Wikipedia:A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas|A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas]]", where she is doing the exact same thing. Of course, the line isn't as disturbing when she says it, considering she's an adult woman, whereas the rosee who says it is ''three years old''.

===''Futurama''===
{{Main|Futurama}}

*The time-travel plot of [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]] ("Time Hogs") was stolen from the direct-to-DVD movie ''[[Wikipedia:Futurama: Bender's Big Score|Bender's Big Score]]'', and this is shamelessly lampshaded by the recolors in the beginning of the episode. In some kind of post-modern bullshit, Bender as he appears in ''Bender's Big Score'' physically appears in the time vortex, literally a page before Sonichu mentions the film directly.
*The line "Smoke um peace pipe" in [[Wigwam]] is stolen from the ''Futurama'' episode "Where the Buggalo Roam".

===''Ghostbusters''===
{{Main|Ghostbusters#Plagiarism}}

*Chris's ''Family Guy''-style "skitch" rips off the FALSE and DISHONEST ''Ghostbusters'' created by Filmation.

===[[Wikipedia:He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'']]===
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: [[Beel]] exclaims: "I have the power!" after stealing Chris's [[Medallion of Fail]].

===[[Wikipedia:Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi|''Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi'']]===
*[[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]] has Wes refer to Chris's cards as "Stu-Pi-Doh magic". Stu-Pi-Doh was an in-universe [[parody]] of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]

===[[Wikipedia:Home Movies (TV series)|''Home Movies'']]===
*[[Officer Keino]]'s appearance is ripped straight from Coach John McGuirk.
*The end of the [[Giant Penis Comic]] special contains gags from the show-where Chris thinks he and [[Ivy]] are being romantic with their stolen dialogue, they aren’t. In the episode the exchange comes from, it was intentionally unromantic.

===''[[Wikipedia:Johnny Bravo|Johnny Bravo]]''===
* [[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]] has a line from the Scooby-Doo crossover ripped out entirely, regarding Applecore. As custom dictates, Chris [[Random-access_humor|neglects to employ the context that made the joke funny in the first place]].

===''[[Wikipedia:Muppet Babies|Muppet Babies]]''===
*Chris made a [[SonichuBabies|suicide-inducing 12-minute video]] of the [[Chaotic Combo]] as Sonees and Roseys, though needless to say his video lacked the major charms the series actually had.

===''[[Wikipedia:My Little Pony|My Little Pony]]''===
{{main|My Little Pony}}
* In the [[Wedding Comic]], Chris and Ivy's carriage is pulled by what is clearly a ''My Little Pony'' horse.<ref>[[:File:SchuComicSP2P6.jpg]]</ref>
* [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]] is set primarily in the ''Friendship is Magic'' universe, which includes both the Equestria world of the main series and the human world of the ''[[Equestria Girls]]'' spinoff. The issue sees characters hopping across both worlds.
* In said comic, [[Night Star]] interacts with various characters from the G4 show, including but not limited to Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, [[Vinyl Scratch]], Discord and Lyra.
* The final arc of the comic sees Night Star and [[Kun]] picking up the story of the [[Wikipedia:My Little Pony: The Movie (2017 film)|''My Little Pony'' movie]]. Night Star even goes as far as breaking the fourth wall to plug the movie.

===''[[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]]''===
{{main|Peanuts}}
* Chris uploaded [[RandomHumor1]] to his [[Flipnote Hatena]] account. Complete with horrendous drawings and obnoxious high-pitched voices, the animation plagiarizes the ''Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show'' episode "Sally at School" word for word.

===''[[Wikipedia:The Powerpuff Girls|The Powerpuff Girls]]''===
*The other half of [[Blake]]'s origin was stolen from The Powerpuff Girls, as an accidental dose of a foreign chemical gives him his evilness and his blackness, just as an accidental dose of "Chemical X" gave the Powerpuff Girls their powers. This is lampshaded poorly on the cover to Black Sonichu's introductory issue, [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], where [[Sonic]] suggests that Chemical "X" could have caused the change, but [[Sonichu]] corrects him; it was cherry cola.

===''[[Wikipedia:The Ren & Stimpy Show|The Ren & Stimpy Show]]''===
*[[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]]'s Sub-Episode 6, "Christian Chandler's Backyard Safari", rips off the ''Ren & Stimpy'' episode "[[Chris's Room|Lair of the Lummox]]", which Chris even acknowledges (with Ren & Stimpy thinly veiled as "[[Chris and copyright|Ben & Stumpy]]").
*The titles for [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]] ("SillyBeachFrenzy08" and "CrazyBeachFrenzy08") are likely a reference to the "Naked Beach Frenzy" episode of the ''{{w|Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon"}}'', especially considering the sexual content in the uncensored comic.
*At the end of ''Sonichu'' #8's Episode 17, there is an advert for "Knothole", boasted as being from the creators of "Log".<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTrAVpK9blw Log Commercial]</ref>

===''[[Wikipedia:Rick and Morty|Rick and Morty]]''===
* [[Dimensions#C-197|Dimension C-197]], where ''Sonichu'' and other animated franchises co-exist, is derived from the prime dimension of Rick and Morty, C-137.

===''[[Wikipedia:Rocko's Modern Life|Rocko's Modern Life]]''===
[[File:Patheticsoul.png|thumb|right|Presumably the fortune cookie Barb got before giving birth to Chris.]]
*When listing [[Mailbag 23#Chris and the dark arts|what various spells he uses]], he claims the [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] inflicts its target with "Bad Luck and Extreme Misfortune". This is a reference from the episode "Fortune Cookie", where secondary character Filburt Shellbach gets a fortune that read "Bad Luck and Extreme Misfortune Will Infest Your Pathetic Soul For All Eternity."

===[[Wikipedia:Sealab 2021|''Sealab 2021'']]===
*In the same [[ED]] edit, Chris included a joke from the ''Sealab 2021'' episode "Legend of Baggy Pants": "What? Pod six doesn't need a Pro Shop, they need a dentist."

===''The Simpsons''===
{{Main|The Simpsons}}

*The parts of [[Sandy Rosechu]]'s design that were not already cannibalized from [[Simonla]] were copied from [[Wikipedia:Lisa Simpson|Lisa Simpson]].

===''South Park''===
{{Main|South Park}}
*[[CADD Chef]] is an obvious ripoff of [[Wikipedia:Chef (South Park)|Jerome "Chef" McElroy]].
*[[Beel]] has a strong resemblance to ''South Park'''s [[Wikipedia:List of supporting characters on South Park#Satan|Satan]].

===''[[Wikipedia:Space Ghost Coast to Coast|Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]''===
*The chant uttered by the guardian of the cave in [[Sonichu 3|''Sonichu'' #3]], "Anoz aelc amulp oerc ikabmol ah ah!", is one of Zorak's chants ("Lombaki Creo Plomo Pleo Zoma Ah Ah!") spelled backwards and mangled. Chris's original attempts to do spells or chants have failed spectacularly, so the stolen chant is one of his better ones.

===''[[wikipedia:SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob SquarePants]]''===
*In [[CWC Update 18 January 2009]], Chris yells "''And you know what else-else?!''" prior to stomping on his [[vibrator]], a line stolen from the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' episode "Pizza Delivery".

===[[Wikipedia:The Brak Show|''The Brak Show'']]===
*In the oft-mentioned [[Random-access_humor#Random_ramblings|ED edit]], Chris included three lines from [[Adult_Swim|''The Brak Show'']], all of them from the same episode ("The New Brak"). The episode centers on [[Liquid_Chris|Brak]] dealing with an [[Christian_Weston_Chandler|annoying impostor]] who shamelessly copies everything Brak does - [[Liquid_Chris#Liquid_Saga|sound familiar]]?

===[[Wikipedia:Tiny Toon Adventures|''Tiny Toon Adventures'']]===
* In [[Sub-Episode 5]], a cuckoo bird chirps out "Cuccoo! Cuccoo! If she thinks he'll never find a [[boyfriend-free girl]] with his method, then [[Slaweel]] is Cuccoo! Cuccoo!" This is a reference to character GoGo DoDo, who'd pop out of Acme Looniversity's clock tower in the longer episodes to say a phrase similar to that.

===''[[Transformers]]''===
{{Main|Transformers}}
*[[Optimus Prime]] mercilessly killing Decepticon spy [[Sarah Jackson]].
*Various Transformer-types appear in [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]].
*During the final battle with Reldnahc, the villain says ''"I've waited an eternity for this. Your life is mine Prime-chan!"''. A similar line is used by Megatron in ''Transformers: The Movie'', in particular during the scene when he fatally wounds Optimus Prime-- ''"I would have waited an eternity for this. It's over, Prime!"''. Even the following circumstances are near-identical, with the wounded heroes both performing one last defiant attack that defeats their respective villain.
*Some villanious Transformers Chris and his recolors did battle with are called "Decepti-Clones". In the ''Transformers'' video game based off of the ''Armada'' anime series released on the PS2, generic enemies were also called "Decepti-Clones".
*A scene in [[Sonichu 4]] blatantly rips off the Quintesson and Trial Scene from ''Transformers: The Movie''. This one's so blatant that it's kind of hard to believe that Chris could be so retarded as to not realize how [[Naive|obvious]] it is.
*The [[Manajerks|W-M-Manajerk]]'s power suit is a flagrant recolor of Spike's Environmental Suit from ''Transformers: The Movie''.
*Sonichu's dialogue "Slaweel is making her big push, and we have to push back!" is likewise recycled from dialogue in ''Transformers: The Movie''.

==Live-action film and television==
===''[[Gilligan's Island]]''===
{{Incomplete}}
*Thurston Howell, III and his wife Lovey make an appearance in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], hinting at the name of the head of [[4-cent_garbage.com]], the infamous [[Jason Kendrick Howell]].

===''[[Monty Python]]''===
{{incomplete}}
{{Main|Monty Python}}
*When [[Darkbind Sonichu]] is fighting the [[B-Manajerk]], a word-for-word copy of the "Black Knight" sketch from [[Wikipedia:Monty Python and the Holy Grail|''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'']] is spoken.
*[[CWCFlyingElephants]]. Need we say more?
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: An impromptu "comedic" sequence making "fun" of [[Jimmy Hill]] starts with "And now for something completely different...", contains a collage of photos and drawings reminiscent of Terry Gilliam's artistic experiments, and features a porcupine shouting: "Dinsdale!"

===[[Wikipedia:Spaceballs|''Spaceballs'']]===
*In the [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]] fight between [[Wes-Li Sonichu]] and [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]], Chris-Chan Sonichu gets his tail singed by a fire blast then exclaims, "You burned my tail! Now it's personal!" before going on the offensive. This is very similar to the scene in ''Spaceballs'' where gun-hating Princess Vespa gets her hair singed by a laser in a firefight and exclaims, "You shot my hair! You son of a bitch!" then proceeds to singlehandedly mow down the attacking Spaceballs with a laser rifle.<ref>https://youtu.be/XPmm2aTY0no?t=4s </ref> While the words aren't identical, he reads the lines with the same cadence and inflection as Vespa's in his [[Sonichu_2_Official_Videobook#Episode_8|Official Videobook]] clip.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zPNU6bXa5o&t=486s (''Relevant portion from 8:06 to 8:12'')</ref>

===[[Wikipedia:Carrie (film)|''Carrie'']]===

*Chris's "[[High School Story]]" is an amalgamation of Stephen King's ''Carrie'', and Chris's own [[high school]] experience. Its main character, Terrah, is bullied and underappreciated, so she murders everyone with her psychic powers.

===''[[Wikipedia:Power Rangers|Power Rangers]]''===
{{Main|Power Rangers}}
*In [[Sub-Episode 8]], Chris is given advice by the [[Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan]] and as he leaves, he tells him "May the Anchuent Powers Protect You", a butchering of Zordon's ''Star Wars''-inspired phrase "May the Power protect you."
*In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], the CWC-Power Rangers are introduced, but never seen with the sole exception of Kart Megazord.
*[[Silvana]]'s basic existence, back story, and partial appearance (but not her [[pickle]]) are copied directly from a villain, [[wikipedia:Villains_in_Power_Rangers_in_Space#Astronema|Astronema]], from ''[[wikipedia:Power_Rangers_in_Space|Power Rangers in Space]]''
*In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris introduces a terrible new song entitled "[[Revive Zordon]]", which displays his wish for the return of the "original" Power Rangers team.

===''Saw''===
{{Main|Saw}}
*Louis Perez, appearing in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] to apprehend [[Inos]], could be named after the character from the ''Saw'' franchise (possibly a relative, as Lindsey Perez from the movies is female). Chris has previously stated that the ''Saw'' series is one of his favorite movie franchises.<ref>[[Common_Questions#31_December_2009]]</ref> Both characters are [[Chris and Race#Black_people|black]] policemen, making the "inspiration" much more likely.
*The execution of the [[Asperpedia]] crew in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] is performed through what equates to elaborate death traps, similar to what is seen in the ''Saw'' series. They certainly have more in common with those movies than with anything resembling actual state-sponsored executions.

===''[[Wikipedia:Independence Day (film)|Independence Day]]''===
*In the [[Christian Love Day video]], he recited a modified version of the speech that President Thomas J. Whitmore makes before making a last stand against the aliens, which shows just how ridiculously corny he can get.

===[[Wikipedia:Alien (film)|''Alien'']]===
*When Chris is stranded in the [[Time Void]] in [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], the words "In space, no one can hear you scream, in time you are heard to infinity" are narratively spoken. The phrase "In space, no one can hear you scream" comes from the promotional material for ''Alien''.

===[[Wikipedia:Lewis Black's Root of All Evil|''Lewis Black's Root of All Evil'']]===
*This Comedy Central show featuring Lewis Black as a judge was ripped off in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], where the judge at the trial, named "Slack Lewis," greatly resembles Black.

===''[[Wikipedia:Lethal Weapon 2|Lethal Weapon 2]]''===
*The exploding-toilet death of [[Simonla Rosechu|Simonla]] was ripped off from the near-death of [[Wikipedia:Roger Murtaugh|Roger Murtaugh]] by exploding toilet in ''Lethal Weapon 2''.

===''Star Wars''===
{{Main|Star Wars}}
* In [[Sonichu 8#Episode 17: "Rage Against the Machine"|Sonichu #8]], Jason's throne appears to resemble [[wikipedia:Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]]'s throne in [[wikipedia:Return of the Jedi|''Return of the Jedi'']].
* Chris once told [[Jackie]] in [[Jackie e-mails|their e-mail exchanges]] that he essentially planned to make the backstory of [[Wild Sonichu]] a rip-off of the relationship between [[Wikipedia:Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]] and [[Wikipedia:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]] (Vader being Luke's father turned evil, for the few of you living in caves).

===[[Wikipedia:This Is Spinal Tap|''This Is Spinal Tap'']]===
*During the "[[Revive Zordon]]" performance, the speaker blurts out that the volume is "Cranked up to Eleven." We can only hope that Chris ripped this joke off directly rather than referencing something else referencing ''Spinal Tap''.

===''[[Wikipedia:Terminator 2: Judgment Day|Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]''===
*Chris's [[Sonichu Special 4|threat on the life of]] [[Liquid Chris]] contains a number of elements from the film:
**The top speed of 65 mph during the escape scene
**The Terminator shooting an enemy in the legs, saying "He'll live."

===[[wikipedia:Superman (1978 film)|''Superman: The Movie'']]===
*The time-travel in ''Sonichu'' #7. Magi-Chan states that he can allow himself, Chris and Sonichu to travel through time by sending them counter-clockwise around the world, appearing to copy Superman's time-travel sequence (by flying around the world at a near-relativistic speed) [[Slow-in-the-minds|without understanding]] how that was supposed to work.

===[[wikipedia:The Three Stooges|''The Three Stooges'']]===
*At the start of the [[KCWC Top 10 Dedication Special]], Chris does a fake advertisement for "Brighto", a product ripped off from ''The Three Stooges'' short "[[wikipedia:Dizzy Doctors|Dizzy Doctors]]".

==Video games==
===[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda|''The Legend of Zelda'']]===
{{incomplete}}
*The characters [[Darkbind Sonichu]] and [[Zelina Rosechu]] are rip-offs of [[Wikipedia:Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] and [[Wikipedia:Princess Zelda|Zelda]] respectively, the two main characters from the series, alongside being rip-offs of elements from the cartoon series ''Darkwing Duck'', strangely enough.
*The entire subplot about Darkbind and Zelina, involving Zelina being put under a sleeping spell by an [[Clawdorf|evil wizard]] and Darkbind setting off to reawaken her with a [[Sonichu Balls|powerful artifact]], is taken nearly verbatim from the story of ''[[Wikipedia:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''. There, the Link from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda (video game)|first game]] goes on an adventure to find a powerful artifact, in this case the Triforce of Courage, in order to awaken the original Zelda from a sleeping curse put on her by- you guessed it, an evil wizard.
*The land of "[[RuleCWC]]" is a not-so subtle ripoff of Hyrule- right down to aspects including the name and its castle.
*In the [[Wallflower E-mails 2|Wallflower E-mails]], Chris claims that Darkbind Sonichu was trained in RuleCWC forest by a "rogue master swordsman" and an owl named King Alistair. These are obvious ripoffs of [[Wikipedia:Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] and [[Wikipedia:Characters_in_The_Legend_of_Zelda_series#Kaepora_Gaebora|Kaepora Gaebora]].

===[[Wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|''Mobile Suit Gundam'']]===
*During the [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] Saga, Chris drew box art for ''[[John's Custom Gundam: Sisterly Rescue]]'', one of Chris's many fake box arts for his imaginary games. What's unique about this one is that it involves Megan Schroeder and her brother John. Despite being about Megan, it is not a [[rape]] simulator, but instead believed to be a ripoff of [[Wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo|''Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo'']].

===[[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']]===
*In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Sonichu]] performs a Flash Kick on [[Slaweel]].
*[[Chris-Chan Sonichu]]'s attack "Hyper Beam" looks a lot like one of [[Wikipedia:Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]]'s super combos, the "Shinku Hadouken". It appears in [[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]].
*In [[Sonichu Special 4]], [[Kacey]]'s father resembles [[Wikipedia:Guile (Street Fighter)|Guile]].

===[[Wikipedia:Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]===
{{incomplete}}

''Mario'' is a video game series conceived by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and has been the mascot of [[Nintendo]] for decades. While [[Sonic]] has fallen into a self-induced pit of horrifying shit, probably never to escape, Mario has stayed consistently good for all this time. Despite this, Chris very much favors Sonic, as he only has a passing interest in Mario. However, he has enough interest to rip it off from time to time.

*The Wing Cap ability from [[Wikipedia:Super Mario 64|''Super Mario 64'']] is ripped off in [[Sonichu 3|Sub-Episode 4]], where Chris flies around with wings on his head. They are later discarded, and Chris is strangely shown flying without them.
*His concept for ''Sonic The Hedgehog 64'', as expressed in his [[Hand-drawn Nintendo Power magazine]], is nothing more than ''Super Mario 64'' with [[Sonic]] and [[Tails]]. Literally.

===[[Wikipedia:Brütal Legend|''Brütal Legend'']]===
{{Main|Brutal Legend|Brutal Legend Plus}}
*In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], during the introduction of the [[Samurai Pizza Bots]], [[Armoraxe]] uses a move that looks and acts exactly like the Solo "[[nudes|Face Melter]]" from the game. The only difference is that the move is called "Metal Melter".
*The devil [[trolls]] that appear to carry [[CChanSonichuCWC|IBAChandler]] away after he is defeated by [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] seem to be a rip-off of the fans that appear to carry you off when you are defeated during a stage battle in ''Brütal Legend''. This is confirmed by the [[Christian Weston Chandler|retarded]] phrase written next to the same panel in the comic, "Hmm, What 'Legend' brought these [[fanbase|fans]]?"
*In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris using the power of [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys (band)|music]] and [[Son-Chu|stage]] to destroy the [[4-cent_garbage.com#The 4-cent_garbage building|4-cent_garbage building]] may have been inspired by ''Brütal Legend'''s Stage Battles. Son-Chu ''does'' turns into a giant stage which resembles Ironheade's megastage, but rather than offer a fair fight Chris just Guitar Heroes his opponents into oblivion instantly.
*[[Simonla]] gives [[Wild Sonichu]] her lucky shark's tooth necklace, similar to when Eddie Riggs gives Ophelia his mother's shark tooth-like necklace in ''Brütal Legend''.

===''[[God of War]]''===
*[[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]. [[Collosal Chan]] pulls out lightning bolt versions of Kratos's Blades to fight [[Mary Lee Walsh|Slaweel]].

===''[[Wikipedia:PaRappa the Rapper|PaRappa the Rapper]]''===
*In preparation for the "[[Revive Zordon]]" performance, [[Sonichu]] puts on PaRappa's hat and becomes as flat and two-dimensional as PaRappa (not to mention his own character), then says PaRappa's catchphrase "I gotta believe!"

===''Gears of War''===
*In [[Sonichu 12-9]], Chris copied the names of the months in the [[My Little Pony|Equestarian]] calendar from the names of the seasons on planet Sera. The only names he skipped are "Brume" and "Sorrow".<Ref>[https://gearsofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Seasons_on_Sera]</ref>

==Web original==
===Jessi Slaughter===
*In [[Lars' Ship has Sunk.MOV]], Chris says "The consequences will never be the same," mimicking the famous line "Consequences will never be the same!" as said by the father of the trolling/cyberbullying victim [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessi_Slaughter_cyberbullying_case Jessi Slaughter]. As it turned out, Chris was simply repeating something Jackie told him to say, and at the time probably never seen nor heard of the video in question.

===emgo316===
In late 2016, Chris began watching a YouTube channel named [https://www.youtube.com/user/emgo316/featured emgo316], which reviews Transformers action figures in the form of skits. Chris ripped off the channel's style with [[The Alpha Trion/"Young Warrior" Challenge]] and [[Skylanders Imaginators Leader Christine W Chandler: random Review N' Stuff]].

==Western comics==
===Marvel===
*In [[July 2018]], Chris conversed with Seanan McGuire, a writer for Marvel, over Twitter. Thinking McGuire was an expert on [[Chris and reality|multiple dimension theory]], he asked her which dimension our Earth is in. She replied, "Earth 1218," thinking he was referring to comics; however, Chris took her answer as real and subsequently began to refer to himself as being from Earth 1218<ref>[[July 2018 social media posts]]</ref>.

===''[[Wikipedia:Spider-Man|Spider-Man]]''===
*[[Wild Sonichu]] is a partial ripoff of [[Clyde's Buddy Matt Getting SUPER-LAID!!!|Spider-Man]], a Marvel Comics superhero who can shoot long web strings from his wrists to swing across the city and entangle his enemies. Wild showcases a similar ability, but with vines (coincidentally resembling Spider-Plant-Man, a British [[Hello, Juffalo|''Comic Relief'']] spoof of Spider-Man played by Rowan Atkinson). While Peter Parker shoots web from his wrist, Wild shoots his vines from the back of his hand, bearing a little more resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Venom (Marvel Comics)|Venom]], a villain who shares virtually the same powers as Spider-Man. Similarly, Wild can also climb walls with relative ease, though it's not clear whether he's just a good climber or if he literally clings to walls, as Spider-Man does.
*In [[Sonichu 2]], when Chris has an out-of-body experience to communicate with the [[Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan]], his ancestor tells him "With the powers you have released, comes great responsibilities!". This is stolen from a recurring moral lesson (which Chris took completely out-of-context) within Spider-Man lore that "with great power comes great responsibility", which is often inaccurately attributed as a quote from the character [[wikipedia:Ben Parker (comics)|Uncle Ben]]. Chris probably took this line from the 2002 [[wikipedia:Spider-Man (2002 film)|live-action film]].
*In [[Sonichu 5]], Chris claims that his "sixth sense is tingling", blatantly knocking off of Spider-Man's "spider-sense" catch phrase.

===[[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|''The Incredible Hulk'']]===
*[[Rosechu]]'s bat-shit insane [[Rape|rapist]] form, now known as [[the Incredible Lioness]], is a ripoff of the Hulk, a scientist and Avenger in the Marvel Universe who transforms into a [[Obesity|gigantic]], [[POWER|super-strong]], [[Slow-in-the-minds|child-minded]] monster when he becomes [[Virgin with rage|enraged]] or [[Stress|agitated]]. While Rosechu didn't turn green (and seeing as she's an [[wikipedia:Abomination_(comics)|abomination]] already, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that she's already bathed in gamma radiation), she gets pissed off when [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] launches a [[pickle]] at her and she tears him a new one for [[Women's rights|women's rights]] or something.

===[[wikipedia:Wolverine (comics)|''Wolverine'']]===
*As of [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], [[Simonla Rosechu]] is a partial ripoff of Wolverine, a mutant in the Marvel Universe with claws and regenerative abilities. It was revealed that Simonla [[Retroactive continuity|survived her assassination attempt]] apparently because of her skeleton, which is made out of a metal "similar to adamantanium", clearly ripped off from "[[wikipedia:Adamantium|adamantium]]", a fictional, indestructible metal in the Marvel Universe which coats Wolverine's skeleton and claws. Simonla also gains a healing factor similar to Wolverine.

==Songs==
*Everything from the [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] albums is sung over another song; this may be Chris's biggest showing of plagiarism yet, aside from [[Sonichu (comic)|his own comic]].
*[[Jiggliami]]'s song, "War of Love," is a ripoff of "Love Is War," a [[Wikipedia:Supercell|Supercell_(band)]] song using [[Wikipedia:Vocaloid|Miku Hatsune]] for vocals. While Blanca wrote the ripoff, Chris was more than willing to use it in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]].
*The product number for [[John's Custom Gundam]] is [[Wikipedia:867-5309/Jenny|8675309]].

==Commercials==
*In [[Sonichu 1]], Chris interrupts Rosechu and Amy Rose's vapid girl talk because "[he'd] like to save time...and [[Chris and money|money]] on [his] [[Son-Chu|car]] insurance by switching over to 'Get-Co!'"

==The Bible==
*While Chris was [[Jail Saga|incarcerated]], like all inmates he was given a copy of the Bible. It appears he actually read it, or at the very least one of the Gospels' accounts of Jesus's life and crucifixion. Chris apparently identified with the [[Kick the Autistic|suffering]] of Jesus so much that he [[Angelica Rosechu's Christmas Play|made it a part of Sonichu]].

==List of fiction Chris has referenced and otherwise bastardized==
While Chris's [[Sonichu|masterpiece]] is chock-full of shameless ripoffs and copyright infringements, there are some references to works of fiction which can't be actually considered "ripping off," but manage to ruin the franchise in question nevertheless, for the sole fact of being referenced in [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'']]. These are mostly instances of Chris either including a minor reference to a work of fiction, or just mentioning it, in his comics. While it's not considered a crime ''de jure'', it still may be called a crime against humanity, whose culture Chris has thus bastardized.

''Note that when such minor references concern works or franchises already listed in the main ripoff list above, they're added there, not here. It was done so that it would be easier to see how much has Chris managed to bastardize each franchise.''

===[[Wikipedia:Batman|Batman]]===
*[[Sonichu 8#Episode 17|''Sonichu'' #8, Episode 17, page 35]]: <nowiki>*</nowiki>For reasons unexplained, a photograph of the DC Comics superhero Batman appears on the wall of [[Allison Amber]]'s office. Christorians suspect this is either a reference to former Batman actor [[wikipedia:Adam West|Adam West]]'s fictitious Mayorhood on ''Family Guy'', or that Allison's alluded boyfriend is in fact the Dark Knight himself.

===[[Bugs Bunny]]===
*[[Sonichu 1#Episode 6|''Sonichu'' #1]]: [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] says to the startled [[Dr. Robotnik]]: "Eh... You were expecting, maybe Bugs Bunny?".
*[[Sonichu 3#Episode 11|''Sonichu'' #3]]: When Blake, the knockoff Shadow, goes to steal The Master Sunstone, the rip off Master Emerald, from Flame the Sunbird, he randomly states "Whats up, Doc?"- Bugs Bunny's catchphrase
*[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]]: [[Simonla Rosechu]] appears to the other Rosechus via burrowing through the ground, in the vein of Bugs. In the same panel, she loosely paraphrases his "should'a taken that left turn in Albuquerque" phrase.
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: Bugs himself appears in the ''[[Monty Python]]''-esque collage, lecturing the toothless photograph of [[Jimmy Hill]] (who was implied to have sold counterfeit Warner Bros. merchandise in the past) on the evils of [[Chris and copyright|copyright infringement]].

===''[[Wikipedia:Dig Dug|Dig Dug]]''===
*[[Sonichu 9#Episode 19|''Sonichu'' #9]]: [[Simonla]]'s screen name is "DigDugette416".
**In the same episode, [[Layla]] jokes that Simonla only needs a pump to "fully dig the dug," whatever that means.

===[[Wikipedia:Fight Club (film)|''Fight Club'']] and [[Wikipedia:Chuck Palahniuk|Chuck Palahniuk]]===
*[[Sonichu 1#Sub-Episode 2|''Sonichu'' #1]]: [[Hanna]] tells Chris that she likes reading books by "Chuck Pala[[duck]]" [sic], who is also (according to Chris's footnote) "the director of the movie "Fight Club" (well, maybe he believes that [[Wikipedia:David Fincher|David Fincher]] is just Chuck's alternate personality?)... Yes, "Chuck Pala'''[[duck]]'''".
*If Chris has actually seen the movie, it may be the influence behind [[30 August 2009|"Christopher"]].

===[[Wikipedia:Grand Theft Auto|''Grand Theft Auto'']]===
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] orders: "[[Beel]]! Prepare for Grand Theft [[Medallion of Fail|Medal]]!"

===''[[Guitar Hero]]''===
*In ''[[Sonichu 10]]'', Christian & The Hedgehog Boys destroy the 4-Cent_Garbage building with help from the Guitar Hero rendition of Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever".

===''[[LittleBigPlanet]]''===
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: For no reason at all, Sackboy appears at the bottom of the page and recites an anti-pirate advertisement for "LittleBigPlanet" and Chris's [[LittleBigPlanet videos#Sonichu Episode 1 LittleBIGPlanet Level|Level of Fail]].

===''[[Wikipedia:My Best Friend's Wedding|My Best Friend's Wedding]]''===
*[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' episode 12 is named "My Best Friend's [[Cherokian]] Wedding."

===[[R.L. Stine]]===
*In [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], Chris tells Megan that his inspiration to create [[Bionic the Hedgehog]] struck while he was reading "a 'Fear Street' novel from my favorite author R.L. Stein".
**In the same issue he reminisces: "When I read a 'Goosebumps' or 'Fear Street' book back in the day, I'd fill each character role with ones from the wide-world of Sonic the Hedgehog. Sometimes, I would put myself in a lead role, but before I was able to, I had to train my brain to visually remember what I looked like from a mirror."

===''[[Sprung]]''===
*[[Sonichu 1#Sub-Episode 2|''Sonichu'' #1]]: Chris is shown playing ''Sprung'' on his [[Nintendo]] DS for dating tips before going on a date with [[Hanna]]. He reads the infamous "So, do angels have names?" compliment and notes that it "sounds right."

===[[Wikipedia:Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde|''Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'']]===
*[[Magical Man Potion]]: Chris drinks a [[Semen|magical concoction]] and transforms into an entirely different [[troll|being]], before reverting to his own self. Due to the fact that the transformation is "from [[Chris|bumbling]] to [[Liquid Chris|suave]]" rather than "from [[Chris and religion|moral]] to [[Death threats|cruel]]", as well as the extreme unlikelihood of him knowing classical Scottish literature, he probably stole the concept from ''[[Wikipedia:The Nutty Professor|The Nutty Professor]]'', a parodic work of Jekyll and Hyde.

===[[Wikipedia:B-Daman|''B-Daman'']]===
*[[Sonichu 1#Episode6|''Sonichu'' #1]]: Sonic curls up into a ball and enters a pocket of whatever in Sonichu's stomach, upon which Sonichu fires him out at Metal Sonichu which also is the form of a ball. At first, this looks like a reference to balls, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be a ripoff of the Japanese Anime and Toy series B-Daman, which involves small cute robot-like characters firing balls out of their stomachs at other balls.

===[[Wikipedia:Star Trek|''Star Trek'']]===
*Both within the comics and in his real-life presentations, he uses the phrase "[[Captain's Log]]" a reference to the opening of most ''Star Trek'' episodes and movies. He's never seen anything of the franchise, but he felt the need to rip it off anyway. That's Chris for you.

===[[Wikipedia:Happy Tree Friends|''Happy Tree Friends'']]===
*In ''Sonichu'' #10, Chris mentions the "Happy Tree Friends-esque" deaths of the Chaotic Combo in Asperchu, implying that he's seen the show a few times.

{{Quote|Good artists copy; great artists steal.|{{w|Pablo Picasso}}, demonstrating that even geniuses underestimated the ability of artists like Chris to exist.}}
{{Quote|I take it one moment at a time and let the story pieces come to me. Even if they are sometimes borrowed from a tv show or movie.|Chris [[Mailbag 4#Admission of plagiarism|blatantly admits to plagiarism]].}}

[[Image:090-CWComicalHug.jpg|thumb|ORIGINAL!]]
[[Image:191-sealSchu.jpg|thumb|The TRUE and HONEST Seal of Originality.]]

As every [[True and Loyal Fanbase|fan]] of [[Chris]] is probably aware of, our hero has quite the imagination. But some argue that due to [[Chris and stress|stress]] and the mental block that is [[Autism]], his powerful and mighty artistic ordeals cannot come to fruition. So he just does what every good TV/book/movie writer does: he goes and '''steals an enormous amount of things''' from other places.

To his credit, plagiarizing isn't easy. After all, how do you grab something that comes from another person's mind, adapt it to your own storyline and make it so that it fits in, without having whatever it is that you stole stand out like an [[Obesity|obese]] [[Honor roll|fool]] with [[The Classic|a red-and-blue-striped shirt]] in the middle of a crowd? Being the genius comic book creator that he is, he feels that he doesn't need to bother with details such as a good plot, readability, or even consistency. Just stick in a few bouts of [[random-access humor]] that he found in some sort of form of media, and you got yourselves a new installment in the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comics]].

Chris holds a [[Chris and reality|belief]] that all of fiction exists in an alternative "cartoon" universe, ''à la'' ''{{w|Who Framed Roger Rabbit}}'', with [[Asperchu|no exceptions]], so he probably believes that this justifies his plagiaristic tendencies. The world in which ''Sonichu'' takes place is fundamentally built on the creations of others, probably because Chris spends most of his time watching television and that is the way in which he engages with his limited imagination. With all the characters and concepts stolen from other works of fiction crammed into the ''Sonichu'' comics, the mythology of [[CWCville]] is an unwieldy, confusing pastiche of bullshit which frequently fuses together franchises that are unrelated or even contradictory. ''{{w|The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen}}'', this is not.

While some of Chris's creations, including [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] himself, are individual entities which are technically not stolen (though many of their substantial elements very-much are), he often outright steals established, well-known characters and elements from other works of fiction, and he simply hopes their rightful owners do not notice. He makes no attempt to veil their derivative nature and has shown that he has no preparatory plan for any incident where he's confronted with intellectual property claims. According to Chris, stealing [[copyright]]ed material is fine ([[Asperchu|unless it's his own]]), as long as you indicate that whatever it is you’re doing is a "[[parody]]" of the original material. In accordance to U.S. copyright law, this is technically true, so this probably means that, unless he decides to make money out of his "artwork," he isn't going to have the law knocking on his door, but the question of whether or not ''Sonichu'' qualifies as parody is an [[Parody#Why Sonichu is not a parody|article in its own right]].

Below is a non-exhaustive list of stolen intellectual property:

==Main influences==
===Sonic the Hedgehog===
{{Main|Sonic the Hedgehog}}

*His pride and glory [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], which, as we all know, is a recolor of Sonic the Hedgehog with [[Pikachu]]'s tail and ears. In his comic book debut he is created when the "[[Perfect Chaos Monster]]" attacks Station Square, which, by the way, is a direct ripoff of the end of ''{{w|Sonic Adventure}}''.
*Sonichu's girlfriend [[Rosechu (character)|Rosechu]] is just [[Amy Rose]] with a Raichu tail.
*Of course, Sonichu’s evil twin brother [[Blake]] (Black Sonichu, Blachu) also comes from the same line of original creativity Chris has got us accustomed to. This dark version of Sonichu is a complete ripoff of {{w|Shadow the Hedgehog}}.
*The "[[Chaotic Combo]]" is a mesh of ''Sonic'' characters recolored with various deformities, and their name is a copy of the {{w|List of Sonic the Hedgehog video game characters#Chaotix|Chaotix}}: including [[Angelica]] being a white hedgehog that has wings, or [[Punchy Sonichu]] being an Oriental version of {{w|Knuckles the Echidna}}.
*Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy Rose and [[Doctor Robotnik]] make an appearance in [[Sonichu_1|Sonichu Issue #1]], with Sonic and Amy juxtaposing themselves with their barely-distinguishable counterparts.
*The [[Legendary Master Sunstone]] is a rip-off of the Master Emerald.
*[[Bionic the Hedgehog]] is another recolor of Sonic.
*[[Metal Sonichu]] is a recolor of Metal Sonic with Pikachu ears and a tail.
*The [[Sonichu Balls]] are essentially just stand-ins for the Chaos Emeralds, and may also be plagiarized in part from ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]''.
*[[Ultra Sonichu]] is a rip-off of Super Sonic.
*The [[Sonees and Roseys]] greatly resemble Chao, but uglier.
*The inspiration for creating evil versions of characters with [[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc|backwards]] [[Mary_Lee_Walsh|names]] came from the comic characters Doctor Ovi Kintobor (Ivo Robotnik spelled backwards) the Anti-Robotnik (Archie) and pre-evil Robotnik (Fleetway).<ref>http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Ivo_Kintobor</ref>

===Pokémon===
{{Main|Pokémon}}

*Like the previously mentioned Sonichu and Rosechu characters ripping off Sonic the Hedgehog, they also rip off various Pokémon, mostly Pikachu and Raichu, combined with other Pokémon.
*The character [[Jiggliami]] is a humanoid variation of a Jigglypuff.
*The so-called [[Sonichu Balls]] are designed like various Poké Balls, though they also function like other items.
*Sonees are also slightly edited Pichu, with a bit of Chao mixed in.
*Moves. As if ripping off their looks weren't enough, Chris also rips off their attacks such as "Thunderbolt" or "Sky Uppercut".
*Many of the cards on Chris's [[Wall of Originals]] are obviously based on character concepts or illustrations from the Pokémon games. (Christian's Maychu, to use one example, imitates the official illustration of the Pokémon Hitmonlee.)
*[[Sonichite]], a total rip-off of Pokemon's Mega Stone concept.

===Chris's fanbase===
*'''Days Of Our Hogs/Wish You Were Hare''' [[Sonichu 12]] discusses Sonichu and Rosechu's wedding - with a few elements largely ripping off [[:Category:Fan_Comic_1|a fan comic by Jon Crayon]] - mainly Rosechu walking in on Sonichu and a naked Bubbles
*'''Rosechu's Story''' [[Sonichu 15]] plagiarizes elements of [http://rosechustory.tumblr.com/ a fancomic about Rosechu].

==[[Anime]]==
===''[[Wikipedia:Digimon|Digimon]]''===
* [[Ultra Sonichu]]'s Chaotic Remedy is a blatant copy of [[Wikipedia:Patamon#MagnaAngemon|MagnaAngemon's Magna Antidote]] attack.

===''[[Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball/Z/GT]]''===
*[[Chris-chan Sonichu]]'s famed attack, the [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] (later Shin-ye-ha-me-ha), is based on the famed Kamehameha attack.
*The Sonichu Balls, though resembling Poké Balls, seem to function more like the titular Dragon Balls, as they are able to grant a wish when all are brought together.
*Ultra Sonichu heavily resembles Super Saiyans, both in behavior and appearance.
*[[Collosal Chan]] is Chris's really terrible attempt at ripping off Super Saiyan 4 from ''Dragon Ball GT'', which is a combination of the Super Saiyan and Great Ape forms.
*[[Mypoe]] ripped off [[Punchy]]'s tail because it was a "weak spot"; the same "weak spot" exists for Saiyans (unless said tail has been removed) and several Saiyans have theirs removed for the same reason.

===''Excel Saga''===
{{Main|Excel Saga}}

*A veritable hellstorm of shameless rips from this series appears in the ''Sonichu'' comics, in a way nearly as pervasive as Pokémon and Sonic the Hedgehog, yet comparatively subtler because he steals one-liners and monologues more than characters or storylines.
*...although he does indeed steal characters (like Mypoe and Nabeshin and [[Bagget|the Jerkop Daitenzen]]) from time to time.
*It is also possible that Chris stole the [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] from the parody "Nabehameha" from ''Excel Saga'' (which was essentially a Kamehameha attack, except shaped like an afro).

===''{{w|Gurren Lagann}}''===
*The character of [[Simonla Rosechu]] is a ripoff of a "fanmade" Sonichu named [[Simonchu]] who, in turn, is ripped off from the main character of the series, Simon the Digger.
**It should be noted that Chris has probably never seen ''Gurren Lagann'', and as such misinterpreted several aspects of Simonchu's design that were intended to be referential to Simon: his cape became Simonla's shell, and his Core Drill pendant became a shark's tooth necklace.
**When Chris was forced to kill off Simonla in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], he promptly created [[Sandy Rosechu]], Simonla's daughter. She is essentially exactly the same design-wise, except she is yellow and has a different hairstyle.

===''{{w|Inuyasha}}''===
*In [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]], [[Saramah Rosechu]] pins [[Wes-Li Sonichu]] to a tree, Wes making the statement "Where did this non-sacred tree come from?" This is a "[[Random-access humor|hilarious gag]]" referring to InuYasha's origin story, wherein he was pinned by an arrow to a cursed tree by priestess/crack shot/vengeful ex-girlfriend {{w|List of Inuyasha characters#Kikyo|Kikyo}}. Also, with some imagination and enough [[alcohol]], one can see that a cloud in the background in one of the panels is shaped vaguely like InuYasha's head.
*Chris also has a [[Marvey Blaziken|Blaziken]] in his Pokémon team named "Inuyasha", which was only revealed on the [[CWCipedia]].<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu Sonichu] on the [[CWCipedia]]</ref> It's likely that this is the same Blaziken seen training with [[Sandy]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], though he is not identified by name in that comic. The name makes absolutely no sense, as [[Honor roll|the literal translation of Inuyasha means "dog demon"]].

===''{{w|Kekko Kamen}}''===
*The face-rape of [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]] is based on the '''Pubic Hair Jump''', a move by which the title character of ''Kekko Kamen'' kills her enemies.

===''{{w|Macross Frontier}}''===
*Chris's infamous drawing of [[Jiggliami]] was copied from a picture by [[Blanca]], who copied the pose from a popular picture of Ranka Lee, one of the major characters of the series.

===''{{w|Pretty Cure}}''===
{{quote|"This is so "Pretty Cure"! I'M BACK!"|[[Chris-chan Sonichu]], [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].}}

*''Pretty Cure'' spoofs the ridiculous costumes, magical schoolgirls, and attack names of other anime series. The [[Chrs-Chan_Pure_Pulse-Jolt_Lance|Chrs-Chan [sic] Pure Pulse Jolt Lance]] (the attack that [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]] and [[Crystalina Rosechu]] are able to perform with their combined Hedgehog powers) is stolen from this series, and even though its original counterpart was given a ridiculous name, Chris felt the need to make it sound like some idiot had just mashed some random words into an attack name for his own version. ''Oh wait...''
* Also noteworthy is that Chris copied (and butchered) the pre-attack catch phases and attack poses. Most of these rip-offs occur in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]] and [[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]].

===''Sailor Moon''===
{{Main|Sailor Moon}}

*[[Sailor Megtune]], Chris's hideously inappropriate SI Mary Sue for [[Megan]], combines elements of the various heroines from the series, though the name is based on {{w|Sailor Neptune}}.
*The [[Dark Mirror Hole]] may be a reference to a number of related ''Sailor Moon'' places/items, including the Black Dream Hole of [[Wikipedia:Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie|''Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie'']], and a mirror-like item that was used by Queen Nehellenia in the first six episodes of ''Sailor Moon Sailor Stars'' and the majority of ''Sailor Moon SuperS''.

===[[Wikipedia:Samurai Pizza Cats|''Samurai Pizza Cats'']]===
*In the aforementioned random-access humor ED edit, Chris quoted a joke from the US-dubbed version of SPC: "Quiet everybody, Emperor Fred has an announcement...FRED".
*He created the [[Samurai Pizza Bots]], which is a ripoff of both ''Samurai Pizza Cats'' and [[Transformers]]. They make several appearances in the comic to help [[Sonichu]] battle the [[Jerkops]].
*Punchy Sonichu, provider of random-access humor, has referenced this series a few times.

===''Yu-Gi-Oh!''===
{{Main|Yu-Gi-Oh!}}

*[[Sarah Hammer]]'s husband-to-be is depicted as Jack's Knight, a ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' monster. Chris had no idea what he looked like, so naturally he depicted him as a Yu-Gi-Oh card.<ref>http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Jack's_Knight</ref>
*For no given reason, Chris (and Chris alone) tends to use various ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' items during his battles (especially extremely convenient trap cards) and is even depicted using a Duel Disk when dealing with [[Wes Iseli]].

==Western animation==
===''The Adventures of The American Rabbit''===
{{Main|The Adventures of The American Rabbit}}

*Chris stole many concepts for his [[Love Quest]] and lines from this movie for use in the comics ("I will, thank you father" from the cover of [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]] is a line uttered by Robert Rabbit).

===[[Wikipedia:American Dad!|''American Dad!'']]===
*Chris has referred to [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] as "[[Chris and hypocrisy|the Dork of Ages]]", a phrase taken from the episode "[[Wikipedia:Dungeons and Wagons|Dungeons and Wagons]]".

===''Aqua Teen Hunger Force''===
{{Main|Aqua Teen Hunger Force}}
*The ''ATHF'' characters appear in one panel in [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]], along with Meatwad's old catchphrase, "The bun is in your mind."
*Chris (badly) painted one of his Guitar Hero guitars to look like Meatwad's toy guitar.

===''Beavis and Butt-head''===
{{Main|Beavis and Butt-head}}

*In [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], Beavis and Butt-head appear in a gag directly stolen from the original cartoon series. (although Chris does write "Apologies to Mike Judge" and "Source of joke: Beavis and Butt-head's 'Substitute'").

===[[Wikipedia:Darkwing Duck|''Darkwing Duck'']]===
*[[Darkbind Sonichu]] is a partial ripoff of this series' main character – Darkwing Duck.
*The font Chris uses to write "Darkbind" is traced from the show's logo.
*Upon arriving, Darkbind recites a completely bastardized version of Darkwing Duck's trademark entrance speeches. The main change is that the original speeches were filled with tongue-in-cheek irony, while Chris's version is completely serious and unnecessarily pompous.
*Chris calls Darkbind "D.B.", reminiscent of how Darkwing Duck's sidekick Launchpad McQuack calls him "D.W."
*[[Princess Zelina Rosechu]] may be a partial ripoff of Darkwing Duck's girlfriend Morgana McCawber (though this theory is debatable).

===''[[Wikipedia:Ed, Edd n Eddy|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]''===
*In one of his ED edits, Chris added a huge wall of random-access humor, including a joke from the episode "One + One = Ed": "Carrots are good for your eyes, can it dial a phone?", originally said by Ed.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg5_OEhzuuI</ref>
*In the video [[CWCFlyingElephants]], a nude Chris repeatedly bashes his head on his bed like a [[slow-in-the-mind]], and quotes another line from Ed, from the episode "Stop, Look and Ed": "I'm a woodpecker! Except with dirt!".<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6YLmzrNVw0</ref> His bed not being made of dirt ([[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|though it probably contains a fair bit of it]]), it just makes no sense.

===''[[Family Guy]]''===
{{Main|Family Guy}}
*In [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], Chris meets [[Sammy]], who resembles Peter Griffin, who goes through a series of incidents involving sequences from Filmation's ''[[Ghostbusters]]''.
*In [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], Chris directly lifts a gag in which a news anchor delivers a serious professional story, then immediately jumps to excited coverage of Spring Break.
*The title of his bizarre rap video, "[[IPods_Down_and_Listen_Up]]", was lifted from "[[Wikipedia:Prick Up Your Ears (Family Guy)|Prick Up Your Ears]]", in which the reverend teaching the high school about abstinence starts his performance by telling the kids, "Put your Walkmans down and listen up".
*Page 15 of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu #10'']] is a dead ringer for the scene in the episode "{{w|Wasted Talent}}," in which Peter trips and falls, injuring his knee, then spends an inordinately long time clutching it and groaning in pain.<ref>[[:File:SchuComic10P15.jpg]]</ref>
*Page 36 of ''Sonichu #10'' imitates Peter and Lois's [[Fabricated BDSM texts|BDSM]] bedroom scene from the episode "Let's Go to the Hop."<ref>[[:File:SchuComic10P36.jpg]]</ref>
*At the end of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Marvey Blaziken tells the reader that "inspiration does not have a schedule". On ''Family Guy'', this exact phrase was spoken by New Brian during the episode "[[Wikipedia:The Man with Two Brians|The Man with Two Brians]]" before he proceeds to sing about [[Chris Sings Fart Song for Flora|farting]]. Naturally, the phrase referred to New Brian fitting in writing a song (about farting) into his already-busy schedule of helping out the family.
*In ''Sonichu'' #10, Chris makes out with [[Silvana]] disguised as [[Meg Griffin]]. This means that in the cultural enclave that is CWCville, Meg Griffin appears to be both a fictional character of whom Chris has a peculiar sexual interest (''Sonichu'' #7), but also somebody who can just show up with little surprise from Chris.
*In [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], one of Sonichu's kids is playing the Virgin Mary in a school play, she says "I'm the Virgin Mary, that's my story and I'm sticking to it". This is said by Joe's wife Bonnie in "[[Wikipedia:A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas|A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas]]", where she is doing the exact same thing. Of course, the line isn't as disturbing when she says it, considering she's an adult woman, whereas the rosee who says it is ''three years old''.

===''Futurama''===
{{Main|Futurama}}

*The time-travel plot of [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]] ("Time Hogs") was stolen from the direct-to-DVD movie ''[[Wikipedia:Futurama: Bender's Big Score|Bender's Big Score]]'', and this is shamelessly lampshaded by the recolors in the beginning of the episode. In some kind of post-modern bullshit, Bender as he appears in ''Bender's Big Score'' physically appears in the time vortex, literally a page before Sonichu mentions the film directly.
*The line "Smoke um peace pipe" in [[Wigwam]] is stolen from the ''Futurama'' episode "Where the Buggalo Roam".

===''Ghostbusters''===
{{Main|Ghostbusters#Plagiarism}}

*Chris's ''Family Guy''-style "skitch" rips off the FALSE and DISHONEST ''Ghostbusters'' created by Filmation.

===[[Wikipedia:He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'']]===
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: [[Beel]] exclaims: "I have the power!" after stealing Chris's [[Medallion of Fail]].

===[[Wikipedia:Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi|''Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi'']]===
*[[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]] has Wes refer to Chris's cards as "Stu-Pi-Doh magic". Stu-Pi-Doh was an in-universe [[parody]] of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]

===[[Wikipedia:Home Movies (TV series)|''Home Movies'']]===
*[[Officer Keino]]'s appearance is ripped straight from Coach John McGuirk.
*The end of the [[Giant Penis Comic]] special contains gags from the show-where Chris thinks he and [[Ivy]] are being romantic with their stolen dialogue, they aren’t. In the episode the exchange comes from, it was intentionally unromantic.

===''[[Wikipedia:Johnny Bravo|Johnny Bravo]]''===
* [[Sonichu 5|''Sonichu'' #5]] has a line from the Scooby-Doo crossover ripped out entirely, regarding Applecore. As custom dictates, Chris [[Random-access_humor|neglects to employ the context that made the joke funny in the first place]].

===''[[Wikipedia:Muppet Babies|Muppet Babies]]''===
*Chris made a [[SonichuBabies|suicide-inducing 12-minute video]] of the [[Chaotic Combo]] as Sonees and Roseys, though needless to say his video lacked the major charms the series actually had.

===''[[Wikipedia:My Little Pony|My Little Pony]]''===
{{main|My Little Pony}}
* In the [[Wedding Comic]], Chris and Ivy's carriage is pulled by what is clearly a ''My Little Pony'' horse.<ref>[[:File:SchuComicSP2P6.jpg]]</ref>
* [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]] is set primarily in the ''Friendship is Magic'' universe, which includes both the Equestria world of the main series and the human world of the ''[[Equestria Girls]]'' spinoff. The issue sees characters hopping across both worlds.
* In said comic, [[Night Star]] interacts with various characters from the G4 show, including but not limited to Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, [[Vinyl Scratch]], Discord and Lyra.
* The final arc of the comic sees Night Star and [[Kun]] picking up the story of the [[Wikipedia:My Little Pony: The Movie (2017 film)|''My Little Pony'' movie]]. Night Star even goes as far as breaking the fourth wall to plug the movie.

===''[[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]]''===
{{main|Peanuts}}
* Chris uploaded [[RandomHumor1]] to his [[Flipnote Hatena]] account. Complete with horrendous drawings and obnoxious high-pitched voices, the animation plagiarizes the ''Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show'' episode "Sally at School" word for word.

===''[[Wikipedia:The Powerpuff Girls|The Powerpuff Girls]]''===
*The other half of [[Blake]]'s origin was stolen from The Powerpuff Girls, as an accidental dose of a foreign chemical gives him his evilness and his blackness, just as an accidental dose of "Chemical X" gave the Powerpuff Girls their powers. This is lampshaded poorly on the cover to Black Sonichu's introductory issue, [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], where [[Sonic]] suggests that Chemical "X" could have caused the change, but [[Sonichu]] corrects him; it was cherry cola.

===''[[Wikipedia:The Ren & Stimpy Show|The Ren & Stimpy Show]]''===
*[[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]]'s Sub-Episode 6, "Christian Chandler's Backyard Safari", rips off the ''Ren & Stimpy'' episode "[[Chris's Room|Lair of the Lummox]]", which Chris even acknowledges (with Ren & Stimpy thinly veiled as "[[Chris and copyright|Ben & Stumpy]]").
*The titles for [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]] ("SillyBeachFrenzy08" and "CrazyBeachFrenzy08") are likely a reference to the "Naked Beach Frenzy" episode of the ''{{w|Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon"}}'', especially considering the sexual content in the uncensored comic.
*At the end of ''Sonichu'' #8's Episode 17, there is an advert for "Knothole", boasted as being from the creators of "Log".<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTrAVpK9blw Log Commercial]</ref>

===''[[Wikipedia:Rick and Morty|Rick and Morty]]''===
* [[Dimensions#C-197|Dimension C-197]], where ''Sonichu'' and other animated franchises co-exist, is derived from the prime dimension of Rick and Morty, C-137.

===''[[Wikipedia:Rocko's Modern Life|Rocko's Modern Life]]''===
[[File:Patheticsoul.png|thumb|right|Presumably the fortune cookie Barb got before giving birth to Chris.]]
*When listing [[Mailbag 23#Chris and the dark arts|what various spells he uses]], he claims the [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] inflicts its target with "Bad Luck and Extreme Misfortune". This is a reference from the episode "Fortune Cookie", where secondary character Filburt Shellbach gets a fortune that read "Bad Luck and Extreme Misfortune Will Infest Your Pathetic Soul For All Eternity."

===[[Wikipedia:Sealab 2021|''Sealab 2021'']]===
*In the same [[ED]] edit, Chris included a joke from the ''Sealab 2021'' episode "Legend of Baggy Pants": "What? Pod six doesn't need a Pro Shop, they need a dentist."

===''The Simpsons''===
{{Main|The Simpsons}}

*The parts of [[Sandy Rosechu]]'s design that were not already cannibalized from [[Simonla]] were copied from [[Wikipedia:Lisa Simpson|Lisa Simpson]].

===''South Park''===
{{Main|South Park}}
*[[CADD Chef]] is an obvious ripoff of [[Wikipedia:Chef (South Park)|Jerome "Chef" McElroy]].
*[[Beel]] has a strong resemblance to ''South Park'''s [[Wikipedia:List of supporting characters on South Park#Satan|Satan]].

===''[[Wikipedia:Space Ghost Coast to Coast|Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]''===
*The chant uttered by the guardian of the cave in [[Sonichu 3|''Sonichu'' #3]], "Anoz aelc amulp oerc ikabmol ah ah!", is one of Zorak's chants ("Lombaki Creo Plomo Pleo Zoma Ah Ah!") spelled backwards and mangled. Chris's original attempts to do spells or chants have failed spectacularly, so the stolen chant is one of his better ones.

===''[[wikipedia:SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob SquarePants]]''===
*In [[CWC Update 18 January 2009]], Chris yells "''And you know what else-else?!''" prior to stomping on his [[vibrator]], a line stolen from the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' episode "Pizza Delivery".

===[[Wikipedia:The Brak Show|''The Brak Show'']]===
*In the oft-mentioned [[Random-access_humor#Random_ramblings|ED edit]], Chris included three lines from [[Adult_Swim|''The Brak Show'']], all of them from the same episode ("The New Brak"). The episode centers on [[Liquid_Chris|Brak]] dealing with an [[Christian_Weston_Chandler|annoying impostor]] who shamelessly copies everything Brak does - [[Liquid_Chris#Liquid_Saga|sound familiar]]?

===[[Wikipedia:Tiny Toon Adventures|''Tiny Toon Adventures'']]===
* In [[Sub-Episode 5]], a cuckoo bird chirps out "Cuccoo! Cuccoo! If she thinks he'll never find a [[boyfriend-free girl]] with his method, then [[Slaweel]] is Cuccoo! Cuccoo!" This is a reference to character GoGo DoDo, who'd pop out of Acme Looniversity's clock tower in the longer episodes to say a phrase similar to that.

===''[[Transformers]]''===
{{Main|Transformers}}
*[[Optimus Prime]] mercilessly killing Decepticon spy [[Sarah Jackson]].
*Various Transformer-types appear in [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]].
*During the final battle with Reldnahc, the villain says ''"I've waited an eternity for this. Your life is mine Prime-chan!"''. A similar line is used by Megatron in ''Transformers: The Movie'', in particular during the scene when he fatally wounds Optimus Prime-- ''"I would have waited an eternity for this. It's over, Prime!"''. Even the following circumstances are near-identical, with the wounded heroes both performing one last defiant attack that defeats their respective villain.
*Some villanious Transformers Chris and his recolors did battle with are called "Decepti-Clones". In the ''Transformers'' video game based off of the ''Armada'' anime series released on the PS2, generic enemies were also called "Decepti-Clones".
*A scene in [[Sonichu 4]] blatantly rips off the Quintesson and Trial Scene from ''Transformers: The Movie''. This one's so blatant that it's kind of hard to believe that Chris could be so retarded as to not realize how [[Naive|obvious]] it is.
*The [[Manajerks|W-M-Manajerk]]'s power suit is a flagrant recolor of Spike's Environmental Suit from ''Transformers: The Movie''.
*Sonichu's dialogue "Slaweel is making her big push, and we have to push back!" is likewise recycled from dialogue in ''Transformers: The Movie''.

==Live-action film and television==
===''[[Gilligan's Island]]''===
{{Incomplete}}
*Thurston Howell, III and his wife Lovey make an appearance in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], hinting at the name of the head of [[4-cent_garbage.com]], the infamous [[Jason Kendrick Howell]].

===''[[Monty Python]]''===
{{incomplete}}
{{Main|Monty Python}}
*When [[Darkbind Sonichu]] is fighting the [[B-Manajerk]], a word-for-word copy of the "Black Knight" sketch from [[Wikipedia:Monty Python and the Holy Grail|''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'']] is spoken.
*[[CWCFlyingElephants]]. Need we say more?
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: An impromptu "comedic" sequence making "fun" of [[Jimmy Hill]] starts with "And now for something completely different...", contains a collage of photos and drawings reminiscent of Terry Gilliam's artistic experiments, and features a porcupine shouting: "Dinsdale!"

===[[Wikipedia:Spaceballs|''Spaceballs'']]===
*In the [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]] fight between [[Wes-Li Sonichu]] and [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]], Chris-Chan Sonichu gets his tail singed by a fire blast then exclaims, "You burned my tail! Now it's personal!" before going on the offensive. This is very similar to the scene in ''Spaceballs'' where gun-hating Princess Vespa gets her hair singed by a laser in a firefight and exclaims, "You shot my hair! You son of a bitch!" then proceeds to singlehandedly mow down the attacking Spaceballs with a laser rifle.<ref>https://youtu.be/XPmm2aTY0no?t=4s </ref> While the words aren't identical, he reads the lines with the same cadence and inflection as Vespa's in his [[Sonichu_2_Official_Videobook#Episode_8|Official Videobook]] clip.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zPNU6bXa5o&t=486s (''Relevant portion from 8:06 to 8:12'')</ref>

===[[Wikipedia:Carrie (film)|''Carrie'']]===

*Chris's "[[High School Story]]" is an amalgamation of Stephen King's ''Carrie'', and Chris's own [[high school]] experience. Its main character, Terrah, is bullied and underappreciated, so she murders everyone with her psychic powers.

===''[[Wikipedia:Power Rangers|Power Rangers]]''===
{{Main|Power Rangers}}
*In [[Sub-Episode 8]], Chris is given advice by the [[Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan]] and as he leaves, he tells him "May the Anchuent Powers Protect You", a butchering of Zordon's ''Star Wars''-inspired phrase "May the Power protect you."
*In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], the CWC-Power Rangers are introduced, but never seen with the sole exception of Kart Megazord.
*[[Silvana]]'s basic existence, back story, and partial appearance (but not her [[pickle]]) are copied directly from a villain, [[wikipedia:Villains_in_Power_Rangers_in_Space#Astronema|Astronema]], from ''[[wikipedia:Power_Rangers_in_Space|Power Rangers in Space]]''
*In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris introduces a terrible new song entitled "[[Revive Zordon]]", which displays his wish for the return of the "original" Power Rangers team.

===''Saw''===
{{Main|Saw}}
*Louis Perez, appearing in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] to apprehend [[Inos]], could be named after the character from the ''Saw'' franchise (possibly a relative, as Lindsey Perez from the movies is female). Chris has previously stated that the ''Saw'' series is one of his favorite movie franchises.<ref>[[Common_Questions#31_December_2009]]</ref> Both characters are [[Chris and Race#Black_people|black]] policemen, making the "inspiration" much more likely.
*The execution of the [[Asperpedia]] crew in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] is performed through what equates to elaborate death traps, similar to what is seen in the ''Saw'' series. They certainly have more in common with those movies than with anything resembling actual state-sponsored executions.

===''[[Wikipedia:Independence Day (film)|Independence Day]]''===
*In the [[Christian Love Day video]], he recited a modified version of the speech that President Thomas J. Whitmore makes before making a last stand against the aliens, which shows just how ridiculously corny he can get.

===[[Wikipedia:Alien (film)|''Alien'']]===
*When Chris is stranded in the [[Time Void]] in [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], the words "In space, no one can hear you scream, in time you are heard to infinity" are narratively spoken. The phrase "In space, no one can hear you scream" comes from the promotional material for ''Alien''.

===[[Wikipedia:Lewis Black's Root of All Evil|''Lewis Black's Root of All Evil'']]===
*This Comedy Central show featuring Lewis Black as a judge was ripped off in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], where the judge at the trial, named "Slack Lewis," greatly resembles Black.

===''[[Wikipedia:Lethal Weapon 2|Lethal Weapon 2]]''===
*The exploding-toilet death of [[Simonla Rosechu|Simonla]] was ripped off from the near-death of [[Wikipedia:Roger Murtaugh|Roger Murtaugh]] by exploding toilet in ''Lethal Weapon 2''.

===''Star Wars''===
{{Main|Star Wars}}
* In [[Sonichu 8#Episode 17: "Rage Against the Machine"|Sonichu #8]], Jason's throne appears to resemble [[wikipedia:Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]]'s throne in [[wikipedia:Return of the Jedi|''Return of the Jedi'']].
* Chris once told [[Jackie]] in [[Jackie e-mails|their e-mail exchanges]] that he essentially planned to make the backstory of [[Wild Sonichu]] a rip-off of the relationship between [[Wikipedia:Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]] and [[Wikipedia:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]] (Vader being Luke's father turned evil, for the few of you living in caves).

===[[Wikipedia:This Is Spinal Tap|''This Is Spinal Tap'']]===
*During the "[[Revive Zordon]]" performance, the speaker blurts out that the volume is "Cranked up to Eleven." We can only hope that Chris ripped this joke off directly rather than referencing something else referencing ''Spinal Tap''.

===''[[Wikipedia:Terminator 2: Judgment Day|Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]''===
*Chris's [[Sonichu Special 4|threat on the life of]] [[Liquid Chris]] contains a number of elements from the film:
**The top speed of 65 mph during the escape scene
**The Terminator shooting an enemy in the legs, saying "He'll live."

===[[wikipedia:Superman (1978 film)|''Superman: The Movie'']]===
*The time-travel in ''Sonichu'' #7. Magi-Chan states that he can allow himself, Chris and Sonichu to travel through time by sending them counter-clockwise around the world, appearing to copy Superman's time-travel sequence (by flying around the world at a near-relativistic speed) [[Slow-in-the-minds|without understanding]] how that was supposed to work.

===[[wikipedia:The Three Stooges|''The Three Stooges'']]===
*At the start of the [[KCWC Top 10 Dedication Special]], Chris does a fake advertisement for "Brighto", a product ripped off from ''The Three Stooges'' short "[[wikipedia:Dizzy Doctors|Dizzy Doctors]]".

==Video games==
===[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda|''The Legend of Zelda'']]===
{{incomplete}}
*The characters [[Darkbind Sonichu]] and [[Zelina Rosechu]] are rip-offs of [[Wikipedia:Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] and [[Wikipedia:Princess Zelda|Zelda]] respectively, the two main characters from the series, alongside being rip-offs of elements from the cartoon series ''Darkwing Duck'', strangely enough.
*The entire subplot about Darkbind and Zelina, involving Zelina being put under a sleeping spell by an [[Clawdorf|evil wizard]] and Darkbind setting off to reawaken her with a [[Sonichu Balls|powerful artifact]], is taken nearly verbatim from the story of ''[[Wikipedia:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''. There, the Link from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda (video game)|first game]] goes on an adventure to find a powerful artifact, in this case the Triforce of Courage, in order to awaken the original Zelda from a sleeping curse put on her by- you guessed it, an evil wizard.
*The land of "[[RuleCWC]]" is a not-so subtle ripoff of Hyrule- right down to aspects including the name and its castle.
*In the [[Wallflower E-mails 2|Wallflower E-mails]], Chris claims that Darkbind Sonichu was trained in RuleCWC forest by a "rogue master swordsman" and an owl named King Alistair. These are obvious ripoffs of [[Wikipedia:Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] and [[Wikipedia:Characters_in_The_Legend_of_Zelda_series#Kaepora_Gaebora|Kaepora Gaebora]].

===[[Wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|''Mobile Suit Gundam'']]===
*During the [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] Saga, Chris drew box art for ''[[John's Custom Gundam: Sisterly Rescue]]'', one of Chris's many fake box arts for his imaginary games. What's unique about this one is that it involves Megan Schroeder and her brother John. Despite being about Megan, it is not a [[rape]] simulator, but instead believed to be a ripoff of [[Wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo|''Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo'']].

===[[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']]===
*In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Sonichu]] performs a Flash Kick on [[Slaweel]].
*[[Chris-Chan Sonichu]]'s attack "Hyper Beam" looks a lot like one of [[Wikipedia:Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]]'s super combos, the "Shinku Hadouken". It appears in [[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]].
*In [[Sonichu Special 4]], [[Kacey]]'s father resembles [[Wikipedia:Guile (Street Fighter)|Guile]].

===[[Wikipedia:Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]===
{{incomplete}}

''Mario'' is a video game series conceived by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and has been the mascot of [[Nintendo]] for decades. While [[Sonic]] has fallen into a self-induced pit of horrifying shit, probably never to escape, Mario has stayed consistently good for all this time. Despite this, Chris very much favors Sonic, as he only has a passing interest in Mario. However, he has enough interest to rip it off from time to time.

*The Wing Cap ability from [[Wikipedia:Super Mario 64|''Super Mario 64'']] is ripped off in [[Sonichu 3|Sub-Episode 4]], where Chris flies around with wings on his head. They are later discarded, and Chris is strangely shown flying without them.
*His concept for ''Sonic The Hedgehog 64'', as expressed in his [[Hand-drawn Nintendo Power magazine]], is nothing more than ''Super Mario 64'' with [[Sonic]] and [[Tails]]. Literally.

===[[Wikipedia:Brütal Legend|''Brütal Legend'']]===
{{Main|Brutal Legend|Brutal Legend Plus}}
*In [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], during the introduction of the [[Samurai Pizza Bots]], [[Armoraxe]] uses a move that looks and acts exactly like the Solo "[[nudes|Face Melter]]" from the game. The only difference is that the move is called "Metal Melter".
*The devil [[trolls]] that appear to carry [[CChanSonichuCWC|IBAChandler]] away after he is defeated by [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] seem to be a rip-off of the fans that appear to carry you off when you are defeated during a stage battle in ''Brütal Legend''. This is confirmed by the [[Christian Weston Chandler|retarded]] phrase written next to the same panel in the comic, "Hmm, What 'Legend' brought these [[fanbase|fans]]?"
*In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris using the power of [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys (band)|music]] and [[Son-Chu|stage]] to destroy the [[4-cent_garbage.com#The 4-cent_garbage building|4-cent_garbage building]] may have been inspired by ''Brütal Legend'''s Stage Battles. Son-Chu ''does'' turns into a giant stage which resembles Ironheade's megastage, but rather than offer a fair fight Chris just Guitar Heroes his opponents into oblivion instantly.
*[[Simonla]] gives [[Wild Sonichu]] her lucky shark's tooth necklace, similar to when Eddie Riggs gives Ophelia his mother's shark tooth-like necklace in ''Brütal Legend''.

===''[[God of War]]''===
*[[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]]. [[Collosal Chan]] pulls out lightning bolt versions of Kratos's Blades to fight [[Mary Lee Walsh|Slaweel]].

===''[[Wikipedia:PaRappa the Rapper|PaRappa the Rapper]]''===
*In preparation for the "[[Revive Zordon]]" performance, [[Sonichu]] puts on PaRappa's hat and becomes as flat and two-dimensional as PaRappa (not to mention his own character), then says PaRappa's catchphrase "I gotta believe!"

===''Gears of War''===
*In [[Sonichu 12-9]], Chris copied the names of the months in the [[My Little Pony|Equestarian]] calendar from the names of the seasons on planet Sera. The only names he skipped are "Brume" and "Sorrow".<Ref>[https://gearsofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Seasons_on_Sera]</ref>

==Web original==
===Jessi Slaughter===
*In [[Lars' Ship has Sunk.MOV]], Chris says "The consequences will never be the same," mimicking the famous line "Consequences will never be the same!" as said by the father of the trolling/cyberbullying victim [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessi_Slaughter_cyberbullying_case Jessi Slaughter]. As it turned out, Chris was simply repeating something Jackie told him to say, and at the time probably never seen nor heard of the video in question.

===emgo316===
In late 2016, Chris began watching a YouTube channel named [https://www.youtube.com/user/emgo316/featured emgo316], which reviews Transformers action figures in the form of skits. Chris ripped off the channel's style with [[The Alpha Trion/"Young Warrior" Challenge]] and [[Skylanders Imaginators Leader Christine W Chandler: random Review N' Stuff]].

==Western comics==
===Marvel===
*In [[July 2018]], Chris conversed with Seanan McGuire, a writer for Marvel, over Twitter. Thinking McGuire was an expert on [[Chris and reality|multiple dimension theory]], he asked her which dimension our Earth is in. She replied, "Earth 1218," thinking he was referring to comics; however, Chris took her answer as real and subsequently began to refer to himself as being from Earth 1218<ref>[[July 2018 social media posts]]</ref>.

===''[[Wikipedia:Spider-Man|Spider-Man]]''===
*[[Wild Sonichu]] is a partial ripoff of [[Clyde's Buddy Matt Getting SUPER-LAID!!!|Spider-Man]], a Marvel Comics superhero who can shoot long web strings from his wrists to swing across the city and entangle his enemies. Wild showcases a similar ability, but with vines (coincidentally resembling Spider-Plant-Man, a British [[Hello, Juffalo|''Comic Relief'']] spoof of Spider-Man played by Rowan Atkinson). While Peter Parker shoots web from his wrist, Wild shoots his vines from the back of his hand, bearing a little more resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Venom (Marvel Comics)|Venom]], a villain who shares virtually the same powers as Spider-Man. Similarly, Wild can also climb walls with relative ease, though it's not clear whether he's just a good climber or if he literally clings to walls, as Spider-Man does.
*In [[Sonichu 2]], when Chris has an out-of-body experience to communicate with the [[Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan]], his ancestor tells him "With the powers you have released, comes great responsibilities!". This is stolen from a recurring moral lesson (which Chris took completely out-of-context) within Spider-Man lore that "with great power comes great responsibility", which is often inaccurately attributed as a quote from the character [[wikipedia:Ben Parker (comics)|Uncle Ben]]. Chris probably took this line from the 2002 [[wikipedia:Spider-Man (2002 film)|live-action film]].
*In [[Sonichu 5]], Chris claims that his "sixth sense is tingling", blatantly knocking off of Spider-Man's "spider-sense" catch phrase.

===[[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|''The Incredible Hulk'']]===
*[[Rosechu]]'s bat-shit insane [[Rape|rapist]] form, now known as [[the Incredible Lioness]], is a ripoff of the Hulk, a scientist and Avenger in the Marvel Universe who transforms into a [[Obesity|gigantic]], [[POWER|super-strong]], [[Slow-in-the-minds|child-minded]] monster when he becomes [[Virgin with rage|enraged]] or [[Stress|agitated]]. While Rosechu didn't turn green (and seeing as she's an [[wikipedia:Abomination_(comics)|abomination]] already, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that she's already bathed in gamma radiation), she gets pissed off when [[Jason Kendrick Howell]] launches a [[pickle]] at her and she tears him a new one for [[Women's rights|women's rights]] or something.

===[[wikipedia:Wolverine (comics)|''Wolverine'']]===
*As of [[Sonichu 11|''Sonichu'' #11]], [[Simonla Rosechu]] is a partial ripoff of Wolverine, a mutant in the Marvel Universe with claws and regenerative abilities. It was revealed that Simonla [[Retroactive continuity|survived her assassination attempt]] apparently because of her skeleton, which is made out of a metal "similar to adamantanium", clearly ripped off from "[[wikipedia:Adamantium|adamantium]]", a fictional, indestructible metal in the Marvel Universe which coats Wolverine's skeleton and claws. Simonla also gains a healing factor similar to Wolverine.

==Songs==
*Everything from the [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] albums is sung over another song; this may be Chris's biggest showing of plagiarism yet, aside from [[Sonichu (comic)|his own comic]].
*[[Jiggliami]]'s song, "War of Love," is a ripoff of "Love Is War," a [[Wikipedia:Supercell (Band)|Supercell (Band)]] song using [[Wikipedia:Vocaloid|Miku Hatsune]] for vocals. While Blanca wrote the ripoff, Chris was more than willing to use it in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]].
*The product number for [[John's Custom Gundam]] is [[Wikipedia:867-5309/Jenny|8675309]].

==Commercials==
*In [[Sonichu 1]], Chris interrupts Rosechu and Amy Rose's vapid girl talk because "[he'd] like to save time...and [[Chris and money|money]] on [his] [[Son-Chu|car]] insurance by switching over to 'Get-Co!'"

==The Bible==
*While Chris was [[Jail Saga|incarcerated]], like all inmates he was given a copy of the Bible. It appears he actually read it, or at the very least one of the Gospels' accounts of Jesus's life and crucifixion. Chris apparently identified with the [[Kick the Autistic|suffering]] of Jesus so much that he [[Angelica Rosechu's Christmas Play|made it a part of Sonichu]].

==List of fiction Chris has referenced and otherwise bastardized==
While Chris's [[Sonichu|masterpiece]] is chock-full of shameless ripoffs and copyright infringements, there are some references to works of fiction which can't be actually considered "ripping off," but manage to ruin the franchise in question nevertheless, for the sole fact of being referenced in [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'']]. These are mostly instances of Chris either including a minor reference to a work of fiction, or just mentioning it, in his comics. While it's not considered a crime ''de jure'', it still may be called a crime against humanity, whose culture Chris has thus bastardized.

''Note that when such minor references concern works or franchises already listed in the main ripoff list above, they're added there, not here. It was done so that it would be easier to see how much has Chris managed to bastardize each franchise.''

===[[Wikipedia:Batman|Batman]]===
*[[Sonichu 8#Episode 17|''Sonichu'' #8, Episode 17, page 35]]: <nowiki>*</nowiki>For reasons unexplained, a photograph of the DC Comics superhero Batman appears on the wall of [[Allison Amber]]'s office. Christorians suspect this is either a reference to former Batman actor [[wikipedia:Adam West|Adam West]]'s fictitious Mayorhood on ''Family Guy'', or that Allison's alluded boyfriend is in fact the Dark Knight himself.

===[[Bugs Bunny]]===
*[[Sonichu 1#Episode 6|''Sonichu'' #1]]: [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] says to the startled [[Dr. Robotnik]]: "Eh... You were expecting, maybe Bugs Bunny?".
*[[Sonichu 3#Episode 11|''Sonichu'' #3]]: When Blake, the knockoff Shadow, goes to steal The Master Sunstone, the rip off Master Emerald, from Flame the Sunbird, he randomly states "Whats up, Doc?"- Bugs Bunny's catchphrase
*[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]]: [[Simonla Rosechu]] appears to the other Rosechus via burrowing through the ground, in the vein of Bugs. In the same panel, she loosely paraphrases his "should'a taken that left turn in Albuquerque" phrase.
*[[Sonichu 10#Preview|''Sonichu'' #10]]: Bugs himself appears in the ''[[Monty Python]]''-esque collage, lecturing the toothless photograph of [[Jimmy Hill]] (who was implied to have sold counterfeit Warner Bros. merchandise in the past) on the evils of [[Chris and copyright|copyright infringement]].

===''[[Wikipedia:Dig Dug|Dig Dug]]''===
*[[Sonichu 9#Episode 19|''Sonichu'' #9]]: [[Simonla]]'s screen name is "DigDugette416".
**In the same episode, [[Layla]] jokes that Simonla only needs a pump to "fully dig the dug," whatever that means.

===[[Wikipedia:Fight Club (film)|''Fight Club'']] and [[Wikipedia:Chuck Palahniuk|Chuck Palahniuk]]===
*[[Sonichu 1#Sub-Episode 2|''Sonichu'' #1]]: [[Hanna]] tells Chris that she likes reading books by "Chuck Pala[[duck]]" [sic], who is also (according to Chris's footnote) "the director of the movie "Fight Club" (well, maybe he believes that [[Wikipedia:David Fincher|David Fincher]] is just Chuck's alternate personality?)... Yes, "Chuck Pala'''[[duck]]'''".

*In [[Sonichu 7|''Sonichu'' #7]], Chris tells Megan that his inspiration to create [[Bionic the Hedgehog]] struck while he was reading "a 'Fear Street' novel from my favorite author R.L. Stein".
**In the same issue he reminisces: "When I read a 'Goosebumps' or 'Fear Street' book back in the day, I'd fill each character role with ones from the wide-world of Sonic the Hedgehog. Sometimes, I would put myself in a lead role, but before I was able to, I had to train my brain to visually remember what I looked like from a mirror."

===''[[Sprung]]''===
*[[Sonichu 1#Sub-Episode 2|''Sonichu'' #1]]: Chris is shown playing ''Sprung'' on his [[Nintendo]] DS for dating tips before going on a date with [[Hanna]]. He reads the infamous "So, do angels have names?" compliment and notes that it "sounds right."

===[[Wikipedia:Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde|''Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'']]===
*[[Magical Man Potion]]: Chris drinks a [[Semen|magical concoction]] and transforms into an entirely different [[troll|being]], before reverting to his own self. Due to the fact that the transformation is "from [[Chris|bumbling]] to [[Liquid Chris|suave]]" rather than "from [[Chris and religion|moral]] to [[Death threats|cruel]]", as well as the extreme unlikelihood of him knowing classical Scottish literature, he probably stole the concept from ''[[Wikipedia:The Nutty Professor|The Nutty Professor]]'', a parodic work of Jekyll and Hyde.

===[[Wikipedia:B-Daman|''B-Daman'']]===
*[[Sonichu 1#Episode6|''Sonichu'' #1]]: Sonic curls up into a ball and enters a pocket of whatever in Sonichu's stomach, upon which Sonichu fires him out at Metal Sonichu which also is the form of a ball. At first, this looks like a reference to balls, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be a ripoff of the Japanese Anime and Toy series B-Daman, which involves small cute robot-like characters firing balls out of their stomachs at other balls.

===[[Wikipedia:Star Trek|''Star Trek'']]===
*Both within the comics and in his real-life presentations, he uses the phrase "[[Captain's Log]]" a reference to the opening of most ''Star Trek'' episodes and movies. He's never seen anything of the franchise, but he felt the need to rip it off anyway. That's Chris for you.

===[[Wikipedia:Happy Tree Friends|''Happy Tree Friends'']]===
*In ''Sonichu'' #10, Chris mentions the "Happy Tree Friends-esque" deaths of the Chaotic Combo in Asperchu, implying that he's seen the show a few times.

'''''Sonichu'' #1''' is the second issue of the [[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu comic]]. Unlikely as it might sound, this one is actually even ''worse'' than [[Sonichu 0|''Sonichu'' #0]].

Having only just created [[Sonichu]] from a [[Pokémon|Pikachu]] mutated by exposure to [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and the Chaos Emeralds, Chris immediately blows his wad by jumping right into the first Sonic/Sonichu team-up. (All imaginative kids roleplay themselves in their favorite imaginary worlds, but only Chris thinks his fantasies are marketable.) It would not be until [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]] that the way past cool [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] would be out of Sonic's shadow... which happens to be about the time [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Chris]] starts hogging the spotlight.

In the tradition of all great comic book crossovers, ''Sonichu'' #1 pits Sonic and Sonichu against two titanic villains, namely Sonic's archenemy [[Doctor Robotnik]] and Team Rocket boss [[Giovanni]]. It's as if he doesn't want you to forget where he stole all this shit from. Further complicating the plot, it is made clear that the last issue's villain, [[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc|Naitsirhc]], is indeed Giovanni's son, who acted on orders from his father to collect Sonichu's genetic code. Together, Robotnik and Giovanni would shake the foundations of CWCville by introducing its next major character, Bill the Scientist. Also, [[Blake|Black Sonichu]] or something.

===Synopsis===

[[File:Cloning_gone_wrong.jpg|thumb|Artist's interpretation of the events.]]
[[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc|Naitsirhc]] has returned to base from his battle with Sonichu in Episode 3. Although he was unable to capture Sonichu, he did obtain a sample of the [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]]'s genetic code, which was the true purpose of the mission. His father, Team Rocket leader [[Giovanni]], congratulates him for his accomplishment. Giovanni goes on to describe his recent contact with [[Doctor Robotnik|Ivo Robotnik]], who has come to share Team Rocket's fascination with Sonichu. The bane of [[Pokémon]] and the archnemesis of [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] ally to create their own Sonichu to destroy the original, for no apparent reason.

While Team Rocket scientists conduct their genetic engineering, fate intervenes as [[Bill The Scientist]] accidentally spills his cherry cola into Sonichu's DNA. Unbothered by his colossal blunder, Bill places the contaminated sample into the resequencer, which quickly grows an imperfect duplicate of the original zappin' hedgehog. Naitsirhc immediately notices that the clone appears to be black in color, but is unsure of his suspicions.

Although Team Rocket immediately bombards the clone with messages intended to program its mind to serve their purposes, this new hedgehog proves willful enough to resist, perhaps due to the cherry cola mutation. Later, when the clone is deemed ready to release from stasis, the color alteration caused by the aforementioned cherry cola is undeniable. Robotnik finds [[Chris_and_art#Originality|the shadowy hedgehog]] oddly familiar; Naitsirhc seems disappointed that his pet should be black and names him "[[Blake|Black Sonichu]]."

Giovanni and Robotnik present "Blachu" a gift in the form of rocket boosters intended to increase his speed. Black Sonichu is heavily briefed on Team Rocket's agenda, and on why his skin color was altered by the previously mentioned dose of cherry cola. Robotnik reports in with the latest intelligence gathered on Sonichu, providing vital details about his location, abilities, and personal relationships (even though all of this data was freely obtained in their last encounter). After rigorous training, Black Sonichu is judged to be superior to Sonichu, and ready for his mission.
===Analysis===
The plot is weak. Eggman and Giovanni work together because... Chris wanted them to. Bill the scientist contaminates the DNA sample with soda, but puts it in the resequencer anyways, without even considering the possibility that it might screw everything up. Black Sonichu resembles Shadow, which Robotnik draws attention to, for no real reason. Also, [[Niggos| Black Sonichu]]. It's probably not intentional, but it's still enough for us to make several jokes about it.

[[Image:ProportionFail.jpg|thumb|Despite taking several art classes and claiming to be a brilliant artist, Chris fails at basic proportions.]]
Naitsirhc shows Black Sonichu a map of [[CWCville]] and the surrounding area and explains the plan. Blachu's mission is to intercept Sonichu and Rosechu on their way from the [[Zapbud]] fields to [[Kel]]'s cottage near the lake and capture Rosechu; this will lure Sonichu into a trap prepared by Team Rocket and Robotnik.

Meanwhile, in the Zapbud fields, Sonichu and Rosechu have a completely meaningless conversation, something about how much they love each other, despite only knowing each other for roughly a month or so. Kel calls Rosechu to tell the couple that dinner is ready. While Sonichu carries Rosechu back home, [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] decides to go exploring near the same area. Coincidentally, Black Sonichu is lurking in the bushes at the exact point where Sonic and Sonichu will meet. Using the enhanced speed inborn in his race, the dark-skinned creature strikes out at his betters, and abducts the helpless, virtuous, fair-skinned woman, as is his nature. Distracted by this perfidy, Sonichu collides head-on with Sonic. At the same time, Rosechu, who had somehow fallen asleep in the high speeds, awakens to her utter horror: that she is no longer in the arms of a pure, cultivated man but a thuggish, black brute. She demands that he release her, but the crude, leering subhuman refuses, obligated as he is to obey his masters. Despite being a Raichu, which should be stronger than a Pikachu, she calls out for her boyfriend to come to save her (though this probably has more to do with Rosechu being a [[Women's rights|woman]] than anything else).

Sonic and Sonichu recover from their collision and begin to bicker until they recognize one another from the battle with the [[Perfect Chaos Monster]] where Sonichu was evolved from a Pikachu. The two heroes quickly compare notes and agree to work together to save Rosechu in a historic team-up.
===Analysis===
Rosechu is simply a damsel in distress for Sonichu, as well as his satellite love interest. The historic team-up happens at the end of the episode and is mostly relegated to them comparing notes, with the actual action saved for the next episode, which is most certainly not worth the wait.

By now Black Sonichu has returned to base and Rosechu is safely imprisoned. The bars to Rosechu's cell are coated with rubber, to prevent her from destroying them with her lightning powers. Of course, there is no safeguard to prevent her from simply reaching through the bars to zap her captors, but the villains have wisely reckoned with Rosechu's [[Women's rights|simplistic female brain]] and of course fear nothing. Naitsirhc and Robotnik review their plan: Blachu will keep Sonichu preoccupied until Sonichu steps on an "X," at which point Robotnik will drop a dome over the hero to drain away his energy. Robotnik then launches into a song and dance:
[[Image:Robotnik.jpg|thumb|Puttin' on the Ritz]]
{{quote|Robotnik! Robotnik! I'm a [[Chris and anger|mad]] [[Honor roll|geinus]]! Robotnik, Robotnik! I create chaos with my machines! I'm the darkest evil, and I'm mean! I have a monkey in my robot! Wait! The monkey is a robot! I turned the animal into a robot! With a process I call robotization!!!}}

[[Comic Chris]] appears here to mock the song that he wrote.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Sonichu have successfully tracked Black Sonichu to Team Rocket's headquarters, but someone has foolishly left a [[medallion]] bearing the face of Dr. Robotnik near the door. Sonic immediately recognizes that his old enemy is involved somehow and is now on guard for a trap. It is agreed that Sonichu will enter alone, while Sonic remains behind as backup.

Sonichu discovers Rosey, but Naitsirhc, Giovanni, and Robotnik surprise the yellow hedgehog with the arrival of Black Sonichu. A brief scuffle erupts, until Sonichu steps into position for Robotnik's dome. However, Sonic intervenes before Robotnik can begin the power drainage. Infuriated by Sonic, Robotnik releases his contingency plan: [[Metal Sonichu]]. Being infinitely more capable than any of Chris's characters, Sonic runs rings around Metal Sonichu, then releases Sonichu and uses the unbreakable dome to slow the mechanical hedgehog down. Sonichu and Sonic then combine forces for a Zap Cannonball attack. Metal Sonichu anticipates the attack and assumes Defense Curl to protect against it, transforming into a perfect sphere. However, this is the automaton's undoing, as the force of the Zap Cannonball attack hits Metal Sonichu like a pool cue, knocking it through a wall, straight up a mountain, and into outer space, before it finally crashes into the goddamn [[The Moon|''Moon'']]. Sonichu then frees Rosechu with an electrical spin-dash.

Sonic and Sonichu mock Naitsirhc, Robotnik, and Giovanni, but when they prepare to leave Rosey balks. She turns to Black Sonichu, punching him in the face and knocking out two teeth (The miserable cur is undoubtedly elated by this opportunity to have a garish "grill" installed in his mouth.)

Meanwhile, on the Moon, [[Metal Sonichu]] is seemingly undamaged, and programmed for vengeance... eventually.

In an epilogue, we find Rosechu and [[Amy Rose]] at [[CWCville Shopping Center]], shopping for things that will make them more attractive to their male partners as [[Chris and religion|God and Jesus]] intended, where Rosechu has found success in catching herself a man mere minutes after meeting him, [[pedofork| 12-year-old]] Amy still plots on making the 15-year-old Sonic hers. In a chance encounter, the two girls run into one another and are immediately struck by the fact they look exactly alike... and by the fact they are wearing different (and thus legally distinct) outfits. Amy and Rosey, of course, find they have many things in common, but being mere females they cannot hope to have a meaningful conversation about this serendipity and descend into trivial banter, going from real words to pointless scribbles. Chris again interrupts the story to lightheartedly rescue us from the agony of having to listen to women talk without the promise of earning sex, making the [[Random-access humor|"joke"]] everyone and their pet gecko has: he saved money by switching to Geico (or '''Get-co''', the comic's legally distinct, [[Parody|parodic]] name).

===Analysis===
The team-up is underwhelming, with the artwork not helping it. It should also be noted that Rosechu was unable to free herself at the beginning of the episode because the bars are rubber-coated; however, Sonichu just electrically spin dashes the bars to free her, so she should have been able to do that, herself, [[Rosechu (character)#Sexism|as she has similar powers to Sonichu]]. So this is either a major plot hole, Rosechu being incredibly stupid, or simply the fact that she's a [[Women's rights|girl]]. In fact, there are plenty of sexist moments in this episode (don't worry, there are even more to come later). And despite seemingly being Rosechu's new BFF, Amy is never mentioned again.

[[Image:Unlikelyprospect.jpg|thumb|Even characters Chris creates himself have a hard time believing the turn of events, given the fact Chris always fails at doing anything.]]
This legendary installment dramatizes the real-life incident in which Chris was trolled by [[Hanna|a girl at the mall]] during his [[Love Quest]].

We begin with Christian sitting in what is presumably the food court at a local mall, again contemplating his seemingly endless quest. A graphic alerts us to the fact that his [[heart level]] has not recovered fully from the last time his heart was shattered; he is currently at 20%. He resolves to resume attracting women as soon as he finishes his Chicken McNuggets, but his thoughts are interrupted by the timely arrival of a young woman named Hanna (or Fandanna). As if she is too good to be true, she employs the same blunt protocol Chris would use, dispensing with small talk to announce that she heard Chris needs a girlfriend and that she would like to have coffee with him. Having prepared for this moment for years, Chris plays it cool and agrees to the date, but once Hanna is out of sight, he erupts into a rainbow joygasm as his heart is repaired to 100%.

In an act of revisionism that only [[Star Wars|George Lucas]] could rival, Chris would later [[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|replace]] the infamous "[[Obesity|fat]] man dancing in a [[Homos|gay]] [[rainbow]] vortex" version of this page with a new one, in which he is depicted outside the gates of Heaven, as though his jump for joy was so high that he had rocketed briefly into the stratosphere.

Seconds after his return from the rainbow vortex (or Heaven), Chris is at Starbucks, waiting for the date that won't occur for another fifteen minutes. He is elated beyond belief and eagerly shares his joy with Rosechu, who is - as ever - shopping at the mall and gossiping with her friends. Later, when Hanna arrives and greetings are exchanged, Chris pulls out a pen and paper and takes detailed notes as he asks her about her hobbies. He learns that Hanna enjoys playing guitar and reading {{w|Chuck Palahniuk|Chuck Paladuck}}. Hanna quickly finds the key to Chris's heart by asking about his [[Sonichu medallion]] and [[Scrapbook of Fail]]. After this date, Chris makes sure to give Hanna what is described as a "Double-Take" flirt, which sounds like something that Chris would do in a painfully awkward manner.

Later, while Chris is loitering in the mall and telling his mother that he talked to a girl, Rosechu overhears Hanna and her friends talking about how Hanna was pretending to like Chris, as a prank conceived by her boss. For a moment, Rosechu is left aghast by her dilemma, but like all women, she is innately pure-hearted and good, so she makes the right choice to tell Chris the unfortunate truth. When she finds him, he is looking up pick-up lines on ''[[Sprung]]'' to use on Hanna (which makes no sense because she has already picked him up). It is difficult for Rosechu to break the news, and even more difficult for Chris to accept it. Outraged, he rushes off to confront Hanna, demanding the truth. Hanna admits that she was only faking, but is nevertheless upset about the deception, as no woman truly wants to harm Christian Chandler. But Chris pushes on, insisting that she must have nonetheless come to appreciate him during their mini-date. Hanna's answer is stark and unyielding: "No."

His heart shattered back down to 15%, Chris calmly excuses himself, then cries out in anguish:

{{quote|NOOOOOOOOO!!!}}

Undaunted in the face of abject defeat, Chris composes a heartfelt email to Hanna, making sure she is aware of the emotional pain she has caused him while also making sure she knows he'll take her back as long as she doesn't smoke and doesn't already have a boyfriend. In closing, Christian points out that he was in [[honor roll]], dammit, so she should totally want to swallow his [[Navy|comeuppance]]!

===Analysis===
The real-life story is nowhere near as dramatic as what's seen in the comic. This retelling also fails to mention Chris's subsequent ban from the mall, which presumably occurred after his big "no."

==2015 Revisions==
On 20 [[October 2015]], Chris uploaded to [[Facebook]] 15 revised pages of Sonichu #1 which replaced Robotnik with a new character, Ren Skysoar, who "followed in Robotnik's footsteps." No other changes seem to have been made. This was in keeping with his renewed attention to his comic in this year and his [[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|retcons]] of other issues. Characteristically, he missed at least one reference to Robotnik.

On 28 October, more radically, Chris posted two new conclusionary pages to this issue which presumably indicate that Sonic and Amy Rose were not, in fact, TRUE and HONEST, but actually avatars of intersex [[Silvana]], who was acting in the nefarious service of [[Slaweel]] and [[Count Graduon]], to do... something.

'''''Sonichu #0''''' is the first issue of [[Christian Weston Chandler]]'s ''[[Sonichu (comic)|magnum opus]]''. At this initial stage, the comic was ''almost'' entirely about [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu]], although bits of Chris's life still managed to find their way in.

The "hand-drawn premiere issue" is a special zeroth issue. In the comics industry, zeroth issues are used as either a sales-enhancing gimmick (Image Comics is a notable user of this) or a special preview of work that will not truly begin until issue #1. Given that it previews nothing, which one Chris was going for is probably the former, though given that it's not legally able to be sold, it fails even that.

The comic consists of Sonichu's first three adventures. In "Sonichu's Origin", the core cast of the series is introduced as Sonichu and Rosechu are created. Then, in "Genesis of the Lovehogs", the two protagonists meet and immediately fall in love. Finally, in "Sonichu vs. Naitsirhc", our yellow hero does battle with his first real villain, who but foreshadows the challenges awaiting the hedgehogs in the following issue. Bonus material in ''Sonichu'' #0 includes various advertisements for imaginary Sonichu products, "classic" Sonichu comic strips drawn outside of the narrative of the main comic book, and the first "Sub-Episode".

Chris began working on ''Sonichu'' #0 by creating the cover on 24 November [[2004]] (although many of the classic strips predate this). He completed the primary story on 15 March [[2005]], although he was inspired by real-life events to return to this work and add the first-ever sub-episode featuring himself. In August 2017, Chris posted images showing a revised cover, in which his [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|self-insert]] was replaced by his [[Night Star|ponysona]].

===Synopsis===
A wild male [[Pikachu]] wanders through a field until he notices catastrophic destruction 5 "[[Chris and English|mies]]" (8 kiometres) away in [[Station Square]], where the [[Perfect Chaos Monster]] is running rampant. He runs to the city, where he finds [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] battling the monster, using the [[Chaos Emeralds]] to transform into Super Sonic. Super Sonic then proceeds to fly up Perfect Chaos's anus and snake his way all the way though the monsters digestive system before shooting out of Perfect Chaos's mouth, hurling Sonic directly into the Pikachu, with the resulting collision causing the Chaos Emeralds' energy to mingle with that of Pikachu's, releasing a powerful [[rainbow]] (with the wrong order of colors) into the sky.

Fifteen miles away, the rainbow touches down in front of the house of (female) Pokémon trainer [[Kel]], whose female [[Raichu]] is caught in the blast. At both endpoints of the rainbow, the Pokémon affected are transformed into hedgehog-like creatures. Kel discovers that her Raichu is now pink, standing upright, wearing a red dress (somehow; as a Raichu she wore nothing), and capable of human speech. She remarks dubiously that this new species of Pokémon is "as pretty as a rose", and thus coins the name [[Rosechu]].

The former Pikachu awakens from the collision with Sonic and, failing to notice his transformation, joins Sonic in the battle against Perfect Chaos. His thunder attack defeats the monster, and the apparently blind gathering crowd mistakes him for Sonic (who has now departed until [[Sonichu 1]]) as they cheer him on. Later, after considering his new role in the universe, he names the species he has evolved into "Sonichu", in honor of his brief ally (rather than the fact that the design is obvious plagiarism from Sonic and Pikachu, as many assume).

{{quote|I am no longer a Pikachu, so with inspiration, I am now... SONICHU!}}

Episode 1 would later be remade as a [[LittleBigPlanet]] [[LittleBigPlanet videos#Sonichu Episode 1 LittleBIGPlanet Level|level]].

===Analysis===
It's about as bad as you'd expect. Not only is the plot bland, it makes no sense: a Pikachu coming into contact with Super Sonic not only manages to turn that Pikachu into Sonichu, but also creates a rainbow that turns a Raichu into Rosechu? Super Sonic exists pretty much just to create the Sonichus, none of the other player characters from Sonic Adventure show up (not even Amy, which raises even further questions about how Rosechu even ''exists''). Most damningly, there's a typo on the first page, in the very first ''sentence,'' setting expectations appropriately for what the ''Sonichu'' reading experience will be like.

Cartoon CWC takes some time out of the thrilling saga of Sonichu to provide exposition about key elements of the upcoming stories, with profiles on [[CWCville]] (as Chris puts it, the "cartoon world"), Sonichu, Rosechu, Kel, [[Naitsirhc]], [[Black Sonichu]], the [[Chaotic Combo]] and [[Flame the Sunbird]]. Chris hints at the significance of [[Chris-chan Sonichu]], [[Sarah Nicole Hammer#Saramah Rosechu|Saramah Rosechu]] and [[Wes-Li Sonichu]], and briefly mentions the villains of the series: [[Mary Lee Walsh]] and the [[Jerkop]]s. The greatest attention is given to [[Chris and his Ego|Christian himself]] and the fact that [[Love Quest|he needs a girlfriend]].

==Episode 2: "Genesis of the Lovehogs"==
[[Image:202-SchuRchuKissPSPWall.jpg|thumb|"Mine, and '''THE FIRST''' romantic attempt, and I did an ''AWESOME FUCKIN' JOB''"....]]
The bewildering title suggests that this is about the literal CREATION of the "Lovehogs", but it is, in fact, the beginning of their utterly rushed romance. [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] is wandering through the forest for no given reason. A week has passed since he was forcefully evolved by the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and he has found that in his larger form he cannot receive adequate sustenance from the diet of a [[Pikachu]] (which is nuts and apples). He is also overcome with a newly found sense of loneliness, being the only [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon]] in existence – at least, insofar as he is aware.

Just then, Sonichu notices [[Rosechu]] standing by a stream. He is [[Love Quest|instantly attracted]] to this similar species of hedgehog, and quietly '''stalks her''' as she returns to her home. Lurking in the bushes, Sonichu sees that Rosechu lives with her trainer, [[Kel]], and decides that he can [[May 2014 Facebook Posts|beg this person for food]].

Inside, Rosechu [[Stress sigh|complains]] of her loneliness. Kel generously offers her [[Pokémon#David the Dragonite/Daisy the Dragonite|Dragonite named David]] for [[Hanky-panky|companionship]], but Rosey dismisses the offer, claiming the Dragonite is "too big" (infer what you will) and that Kel can have him (again, infer what you will). Just then Rosechu answers a knock at the door to find Sonichu [[June_2014_Facebook_Posts#Wow|panhandling for change]]. Immediately smitten, she aggressively pulls him into the cabin and has Kel cook them dinner, a lovely {{w|Brunswick stew|Brunswick stew}} cooked in the microwave – Chris did not think to call it Bruns-CWC-stew.

{{quote|As long as birds tweet, you are my lovely heartsweet|Sonichu, attempting to be romantic to a girl he met 5 days ago.}}

Within a few days, Sonichu and Rosechu are inseparable. One night, while staring at [[the Moon]] out by the lake, they interlock tails and share their first kiss, in the first of far too many sappy and clichéd love scenes. Some readers have pointed out that, based on how Chris draws this scene, the two appear to be French Kissing.

===Analysis===
Given Chris's own [[Love Quest|inability to get laid]], "Genesis of the Lovehogs" provides fascinating insight into how he believes romance is supposed to work: boy sees girl, [[Megan Schroeder|boy stalks girl for five minutes]], girl wants to have sex with boy the second she lays eyes on him, happiness ensues.

[[Image:201-SchuAqua.jpg|thumb|THE BUN IS IN YOUR MIND]]

===Synopsis===
We find Sonichu in [[CWCville Mall]], confronting [[Naitsirhc Giovanni]] riding a [[Zapdos]] that is clutching [[Rosechu]] in its talons. When hostage negotiations fail, the battle is on, and Sonichu briefly recalls how the situation arose.

Earlier in the day, [[Kel]] took her Pokémon into town to run errands, and allowed Rosechu to go shopping with Kel's credit card. Sonichu was entrusted to restrain Rosey's [[Women's rights|uncontrollably lavish spending]] – she is not to exceed $100. But, he quickly abandoned this duty to please his lover. Later in the food court, the couple visited a fast-food restaurant; being female, the feeble Rosechu could only eat a salad, while Sonichu attempted to eat a [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force|Baffler Meal]] and became sick from eating [[pickle]]s, claiming he did not know the burger came with pickles, even though (unless specified) pickles are one of the main garnishings on burgers. It was at this point that Zapdos ambushed the hedgehogs, capturing Rosey.

Using standard Pokémon fighting techniques (of which Pikachu is incapable), Sonichu shows up Zapdos with his Sky Uppercut and Mega Kick. For the ''coup de grâce'', Sonichu uses Double Team to confuse Zapdos with mirages of himself; he then uses this diversion to rescue Rosey before his duplicates zap the Zapdos, defeating it. Naitsirhc recalls the Zapdos to its Pokéball and swears he will challenge Sonichu again before riding off on a [[Raikou]]. Chris evidently believed that a shopping mall is a perfectly natural setting for this kind of thing to occur in.

Not once is it brought up that Rosechu could have easily electrocuted the Zapdos herself, if not to fight it, then at least to attempt an escape.

Since this is Sonichu's first public outing in which he is not mistaken for [[Sonic]], he is heralded as a hero by the people of CWCville. [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Chris]] makes his debut as a full-fledged character, and, in his capacity as the city's mayor, [[English|congraduates]] the yellow hedgehog. Rosechu thanks her man for saving her, and Kel makes her final appearance until ''Sonichu'' #10.

{{quote|There he goes... with a grin on his face. In the end, he'll say "One girlfriend please." Because he'll probably fail again...|Sonichu, speaking the truth on Chris's [[Love Quest]].}}

Later, in the first of many segments that break the fourth wall, Chris and Sonichu leave the mall talking about the high quality of this issue of ''Sonichu'', and Sonichu expresses amazement and incredulity when he learns that Chris's obvious talent has not earned him a [[boyfriend-free girl]]. Chris drives off to the [[Fashion Square Mall]] to continue his [[Love Quest]], while Sonichu morbidly admires his father's persistence in the face of certain failure. It's never explained why Sonichu refers to him as "father" when Chris was uninvolved in his in-universe creation, but considering Chris's laissez-faire relationship with the fourth wall, this probably means that Sonichu (and many ensuing characters) have an inherent knowledge of their real-life genitor.

===Analysis===
[[Image:SchuComicPage25_detail.jpg|thumb|Gotta Catch 'Em All!]]
Episode 3 is a good example of early [[CWCville]]. Sonichu is just a Mary Sue for Chris to play in a Sonic-inclusive-Pokéworld. Naitsirhc's motivation is that he's ''GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL'' for his gangster father, Giovanni. Contrast this with his later incarnation, [[Reldnahc]], or Chris's many enemies in the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]], who primarily exist just to disrupt Chris's life and his attempts to find a girlfriend.

}}
Pages 28–34 of this issue feature comic strips drawn throughout [[2004]]. Notably, most of them include characters who have not yet had an official introduction in the comic itself, such as [[Black Sonichu]], [[Saramah]], and [[Mary Lee Walsh]], as well as Chris's [[Chris-Chan Sonichu|super-powered furry form]]. This can create some confusion later on when these characters are introduced, as the placement of these strips within the [[Sonichu chronology|''Sonichu'' chronology]] are not made explicitly clear.

# 25 years into the future, [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] (now evolved into [[Metonic]]) recycles a joke from ''[[Excel Saga]]'' while chopping logs, while [[Rosechu]] (now evolved into [[Vamprosa]]) compliments his hard work. The title of the strip is by itself a recycling of "Mobius 25 Years Later", an arc from the [[Sonic the Hedgehog#Comics|''Sonic'' comics]].
# Sonichu asks Rosechu how things are going, and she explains she's been busy "being beautiful" but confesses that she hates working so hard at it (Chris evidently believes [[Women's rights|this is all women do and think about]]). Sonichu demonstrates his amazing ability to listen to women and respect their feelings (hint, hint, YOUNG LADIES) until Rosey calls out [[Black Sonichu]] for stalking them, despite being happy enough when Sonichu was doing it. This is also the first mention of Black Sonichu – who would not be created until Episode 4.
# "Christian & Sonichu vs. the Mastermind": [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Christian]] and Sonichu defeat [[Mary Lee Walsh]] with the combined power of Chris's [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] and Sonichu's thunder attack. This would later be revised and turned into the conclusion of [[Sonichu_2#Sub-Episode_3:_Christian_Chandler_.26_Sonichu_in_.22Witch_Confront.22|Sub-Episode 3]].
# Sonichu and [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] rescue [[Barbara Chandler]] from [[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc|Naitsirhc]]. Barbara is depicted characterizing Sonichu as Chris's son, which would make her the grandmother to the Electric Hedgehog.
# [[Chris-chan Sonichu]] is beaten up by [[Jerkop]]s, under orders from Mary Lee Walsh, whom the reader knows nothing about and whose motives will never be made clear. Rosechu, being female, stands around without intervening, for no clear reason. Her only role is to be exiting a store and yell "Oh no, Chris!". Eventually, [[Sarah Nicole Hammer#Saramah Rosechu|Saramah Rosechu]], who we have never met, arrives to save Chris so that he can reassure himself that he is still important in the life of a woman he cannot have sex with, with Sarah/Nicole saying she will assist him in his Love Quest, friend zoning him in the end. This strip was later reincorporated into [[Sub-Episode 7]] in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]], as the opening to the sub-episode, with Mary Lee Walsh/Slaweel vowing revenge on Chris (not Saramah, the one responsible for her defeat). Saramah would not be officially in the comic until Issue 2.

[[Image:Jerkhief_my_soul_hurts.jpg|thumb|MY SOUL HURTS!]]
One year and seven months into [[Christian]]'s [[Love Quest]], he ponders his lack of progress while listening to music on his Nintendo DS. Just then, the enormously fat [[niggos|black]] [[Jerkhief]] towers over Chris, rightfully calling him out and accusing Chris of soliciting sex. Chris is outraged by this correct assessment of his actions and valiantly defends his honor. The Jerkhief summons his [[Jerkops]] to handcuff Chris, but his keen tactical mind allows him to spot his assailant and dodge them, somehow causing a Jerkop to handcuff himself. Chris kicks a Jerkop in his [[duck]] and backhands another Jerkop square in the face, giving him enough breathing room to transform into [[Chris-Chan Sonichu]].

The Jerkhief responds by summoning his Metal Armor (which only gets a "tick-tock clock" panel rather than a full transformation scene), and a pitched battle begins. Chris-Chan uses Mega Kick, Double Team, Mirror Coat, and Thunderbolt to disarm the Jerkhief, and honorably offers mercy to his defeated foe. But the Jerkhief is without honor; defiant to the end, he fires a handgun at Chris-Chan, who uses Barrier to deflect the pitiful attack.

His enemy beaten, Chris decides to unleash his Special Ultimate Attack, the dreaded [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] (known as Shin-Ye-ha-me-ha in edited comics). The Jerkhief initially feels no adverse effect and rises to fight back, but the curse soon sets in; he slips on a banana peel that appeared out of nowhere, knowing Chris [[Obesity|couldn't have eaten it]], breaks his glasses and learns that his wife has just divorced him over his smoking habit, taking the custody to his kids, house, and everything he owns with her (all of this somehow takes place within the brief skirmish at the mall). The Jerkhief's life is shattered, and Chris makes sure he knows that he deserved all of it. The Jerkhief cries that his soul hurts; Chris [[Chris and his Ego|responds that he's suffered worse,]] presumably referring to the soul-rending agony of being forced to stop soliciting sex on private property, ending the comic with "My heart was previously shattered".

===Analysis===
This is the first, though certainly [[Sonichu 4|not]] [[Sonichu 8|the]] [[Sonichu 10|last]], time Chris would use his comic to create bizarre power fantasies in which he was [[Chris and reality|victorious in events he was not in real life]]. Sub-Episode 1, along with the other Sub-Episodes, is reprinted in [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]].

[[Niggos|Note that the Jerkhief is black]]. [[Chris and English|Also note that Chris misspelled the title, spelling "-tastrophe" as "-tastropie"]].

===Advertisement 2===
''[[Sonichu Adventure]]'', coming <s>soon</s> never exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube! (Note that Chris drew most of the GameCube dress by hand, but likely forgot the "Only for" label and thus had to photoshop it in.)

This ad appeared between the Classic Sonichu Strips and Sub-Episode 1 in the initial release of ''Sonichu'' #0, but was moved to the back cover on the more recent [[CWCipedia]] version. Ads for ''Sonichu Adventure'' would continue to run in future issues, all the way through to [[Sonichu 6|''Sonichu'' #6]].
