In the first video, Chris begs for handouts, flaunting the [[Sonichu 12|recent comic pages]] as reason enough to donate to him and alleviate his [[Chris and money|monetary]] [[Financhu Crisis|problems]]. He demands that donations be at least a dollar, possibly because any amount lower than a dollar would be negated by Paypal fees.

Of course, [[trolls]] responded by donating amounts lower than a dollar. Less than an hour later, Chris uploaded a second video, exclaiming his annoyance regarding receiving a single-penny donation.
