[[Chris]]'s 1 [[May 2009]] video [[For My Sweetest Ivy]] was the focus of a segment of '''''{{w|The Toucher and Rich Show}}''''', a Boston-area radio show, that aired on 12 [[May 2009]]. There are some details that the hosts of the show get wrong, like the apparent confusion of [[Ivy]] with [[Megan]], but this is understandable given that their knowledge of him is mostly second-hand.

The Claw of Fail is a dramatic hand gesture used by Chris when he wants to emphasize whatever stupid point he's trying to make at the moment. Chris will hold his hand out, palm upturned, with his fingers outstretched and curled upwards, in the manner of a cartoonish villain.

Much in the way that Chris steals jokes, ideas and phrases he uses in everyday speech from movies, anime, video games and cartoons, he also copies body language and hand gestures. Due to spending a lot of time in his formative years watching television and away from his parents, a younger Chris relied on media to teach him new words, phrases and ideas, copying the mannerisms he saw in the shows and movies that he watched, with this being a notable, repeated example.
