'''Rollin' and Trollin'''' is a video of downtown [[CWCville]] (really downtown [[Charlottesville]]) uploaded on 17 [[July 2009]] in which Chris attempts [[Wikipedia:Andy Kaufman|Kaufmanesque humor]]. Notable is a video message to real life [[trolls]], including several [[CWCki]] editors. The key component of this message is that, in a shocking turn of events, Chris was engaging in the most elaborate trolling scheme in history, and has duped us all masterfully. (If only that were true.)
The '''Financhu Crisis''' is a term coined by users from [[Kiwi Farms]] to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's [[Chris and money|financial management]] beginning in early [[2016]]. Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on [[YouTube]] and [[Facebook]].


To sell the deception, [[Chris]] changed his look to have a normal hairstyle, [[Krapple|a goatee]], sunglasses instead of large, square [[Pedo-Glasses|pedo glasses]], plain blue T-shirt and jeans, [[navy]] blue sleeveless unbuttoned shirt over his t-shirt, dog-collar bracelets, his forearms appear to be covered in thick tattoos, complements the tattoo sleeve from the [[Fuck Quest|fuck quest]], no [[Amnyfest Ring]], and a chain with some dog tags, instead of his trademark [[Sonichu medallion]]. Of course, the disguise unintentionally gave away the truth: the lack of the ring and medallion suggested that Chris was not entirely TRUE and HONEST when he made this video, something that he indeed confirmed later.
