'''CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero''' is an elaborate (by Chris's standards) [[Chris and music|music]] [[video]] created for his then-[[sweetheart]] [[Ivy]]. It was uploaded to [[YouTube]] on 26 [[March 2009]], and later reuploaded to Chris's [[IBAChandler]] account on 29 [[July 2009]], despite his relationship with Ivy ending months earlier. The music video pairs a cover (wailed over a music track) of Bonnie Tyler's "[[wikipedia:Holding Out For a Hero|Holding Out For a Hero]]" with footage of Chris and the Sonichu comic. It is quite possibly one of Chris's most well-known videos.

To his credit, this video shows that Chris has some editing ability- even if the entire video is presented in a grainy, ghastly, yellowed fashion due to [[PSEye|poor treatment of his camera]] and the subpar lighting in his bedroom.

Chris, begging for money, while standing in front of more than a thousand dollars' worth of Lego sets and toys.

The Financhu Crisis is a term coined by users from Kiwi Farms to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's 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.

In June 2017, Chris began to take his Patreon account more seriously and recommenced drawing Sonichu comic pages. He has gotten several hundred dollars per month for his efforts, and payments continued until 2 August 2021, when his Patreon account was shut down. As a result, begging had temporarily subsided.
