The '''audiobooks''' are a series of videos on the [[YouTube]], juxtaposing scenes from the ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' comic book with audio of a dramatic reading. The audiobooks serve a valuable function, disseminating the world of ''Sonichu'' to the visually impaired, the illiterate, and people who aren't retarded enough to actually read ''Sonichu'' for themselves. A major highlight of the audiobooks is the annotations provided by [[Vivian Gee]] commenting on the project, offering scathing criticism of the comics themselves.

[[Chris]] has, in another fit of self-righteous rage, started uploading "[[Official Videobooks]]" in response to the success of the audiobooks, but, just like anything else that is produced by the man-child's hands, these OFFICIAL audiobooks are made of [[fail]].
 
==History==
The original audio for the audiobooks were created by the old narrator, which Vivian then decided to turn into videos. These initial audiobooks set the initial tone for the audiobooks, with the narrator playing it straight and allowing the absurdity of the story itself to come through without comment. The old narrator can be identified by his soft, deep, Tony Curtis-esque voice. He recorded readings of Episodes #1-9 and Sub-Episodes #1-2 (comprising most of ''Sonichu'' #0-2) before being committed to a mental asylum as a result of going mad.
 
Responding to demand for moar audiobooks, Vivian opened auditions and selected Dethchemist77 as the new (and current) narrator. Deth continues the tradition of a straight reading, but in a tone more like that of the narration of an anime than a dramatic reading. Beginning around [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], his narration has begun to show early signs of mental breakdown from having to describe whatever the hell Chris is trying to draw.

==The DVD==
In [[August 2009]], a DVD of the audio books was announced.
 
For only 19.99 one can purchase a DVD containing twenty episodes, and smash hits such as:
* My Two Balls
* Penis Comic
* Deep Into His Anus
Perfect for listening to whilst you drown your kids in a bathtub!
 
Chris at first [[Chris and anger|raged hard]] when he learned other people were selling "his" work, leading up to various threats to Vivian and her entire family. Just to clarify, copies of the DVDs are not being sold, but are officially "gifts" that Vivian and Co. give in gratitude for donations.
 
At some point Chris has forgiven Vivi, endorsing the audiobooks officially under the condition that she give him a percentage of all sales. Since there are, technically, no actual "sales" to be had, this should be interesting.
 
==Catchphrases==
The audiobooks have spawned relatively popular catchphrases including:
 
* "OH GOD, THAT FACE!"
* "'[[HONOR ROLL]]' MY ASS!"
* "Goddammit, Chris!"
* "LOOK AT THAT (X), GODDAMN!"
