The show's format intersperses music with trivia and advice from Tesh on a variety of subjects. Tesh's romantic advice appears to have had the most influence on Chris.

I am prepared to repeat that hundred times from the bottom of my hurting heart.
Chris, to Megan Schroeder, 12 March 2008

Chris has a tendency to repeat himself. He's famous for the use and overuse of his many CWC-isms, new words or short phrases that he's made a regular part of his vocabulary, but over the years, trolls have also discovered that Chris often uses and re-uses longer canned sentences and sentiments, changing them only a little or not at all.

Working out the whys and wherefores of this behavior is more of a job for a psychiatric professional, but it could be another symptom of his autism. Just as autistics often retreat into routine, repetitive physical behaviors, Chris may keep a catalog of routine verbal statements -- when he comes up with a statement that works in a given situation, it's easier and safer to repeat that later on rather than come up with something new.

Examples

  • When complaining about his father, Chris often says that Bob "starts more arguments than there are flies at a garbage dump." This comparison debuted in an IRC chat from 3 January 2009, appeared again in another chat about two weeks later, popped up once more in Mumble 1 on 31 January, made another appearance in BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.5, and finally showed up some time later in the Father Call.
  • In the Surfshack Tito Emails, Chris first called Tito a "God Damn Trollin' Stupid Nigger," then upgraded the insult in a later message to "trolling stupid, pickle-suited NIGGER." He repeated the latter insult in the Chris Drops the N-Bomb video, where he again called Tito a "trollin' stupid pickle-suited nigger."
  • When Chris wants to get a point across, he often tells the listener to "get it through your skull." This is usually embellished with insults and profanities, like "get it through your damn fucking skull" (in CHRIS!!! CHANDLER!!!) or "get that through your stupid skull" (in the Kacey and Liquid Call).
  • In Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE, Chris characterizes homosexuals as those who "stray away from the straight path." A similar construction appears in his e-mails with Megan Schroeder, where he talks about his fear of "falling off the straight path."
