An artist's depiction of what Chris hopes this video will gain him

Fred's reaction to this.

100 2277 is a video Chris uploaded on 12 October 2010 in which he dresses as Fred Flintstone, then cosplays as Homer Simpson cosplaying as Fred.

Right away, we're bombarded with a horrible, inaccurate, badly-paced impersonation as Chris attempts a deep, manly voice to sing the theme to The Flintstones- and fails right away by starting with The Simpsons parody version. The resulting voice is more along the lines of a frog who sings only in flats. To this, his latest construction paper costume is a even simpler version of Fred's one-piece toga/loincloth outfit: a single sheet of the paper, with dots scribbled on it.

It may be worth noting that Chris mumbles his way through the line "We'll have a gay old time," with "gay" meaning "happy" in this context. It is notable because Chris doesn't show any of his usual homophobia to this line by trying to change the lyrics. Either he recognizes the non-sexual meaning of "gay", or the theme song is so ingrained into his memory, that he doesn't realize what he's singing. Unfortunately, in a bit of inconvenient timing surpassed only by the Zapruder film, at this key moment, Chris's costume begins to fall apart, making it difficult to discern whether he mumbled the line in aversion to anything even remotely gay, or in distraction of repairing his costume.

After that, and the obligatory stolen quote, he then sings (also badly) The Simpsons parody of the song, complete with a "mask" of Homer's face. It should be noted that this mask has square eyes, similar to that of his pre-Megan, pre-anime-style drawings and comics, but merely ends up bearing a closer resemblance to "The Smiley Face", of 70's pop-culture fame. This is topped off with an additional red piece, shaped to make a yelling mouth.
