“	I take it one moment at a time and let the story pieces come to me. Even if they are sometimes borrowed from a tv show or movie.	”
Chris, blatantly admitting to plagiarism.

ORIGINAL!

Seal of Originality

As every Chris-chan fan is probably aware of, our autistic hero has quite the imagination. But some argue that due to stress and the mental block that is autism, his powerful and mighty artistic ordeals cannot come to fruition. So he just does what every good TV/book/movie writer does: he goes and steals shit from other places.

Now, to his credit, stealing ain't easy. I mean, how the hell do you grab something that comes from another person's mind, adapt it to your own storyline and make it so that it fits in, without having whatever it is that you stole stand out like an obese retard with a red and blue striped T-shirt in the middle of a crowd? Being the geinus comic book creator that he is, he does not need to bother with details such as a good plot, readability, or even consistency. Just stick in a few random-access-humor jokes and you got yourselves a new installment in the "Sonichu Comic Book Series." Not resembling Family Guy at all, right, guys?

According to Chris, stealing copyrighted material is fine, as long as you indicate that whatever it is you’re doing is a parody of the original material. In accordance to U.S. copyright law, this is technically true, so this probably means that, unless he decides to make money out of his "artwork," he ain’t gonna have the law knocking on his door. Besides, we all know he is never going to sell any type of merchandise ever, or even make a hard earned buck for that matter.

Onward with the list of shit he's stolen:

Main influences

Sonic the Hedgehog

• His pride and glory "Sonichu," which, as we all know, is a recolor of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu. In his comic book debut he is created when the "Perfect Chaos Monster" attacks CWCville, which, by the way, is a direct ripoff from the Sonic series.
• His other pride and glory “Rosechu” which is in turn another recolor from the character “Amy” from the “Sonic the Hedgehog” cartoon series.
• Of course, Sonichu’s evil twin brother “Blake” also comes from the same line of original creativity Chris has got us accustomed to. This niggo version of Sonichu is a complete rip-off from the character “Shadow the Hedgehog”. His creation is partially inspired by Pokémon: The First Movie in which the character “Mewtwo” is created from the DNA from “Mew” with an evil twist.
• The “Chaotic Combo” is a mesh of Sonic characters recolored with retarded deformities. Like Angelica being a white hedgehog that has wings, or Punchy Sonichu being an AZN version of “Knuckles the Echidna”.

For more info, see the main article.

Pokémon

• Like the previously mentioned Sonichu and Rosechu characters ripping off Sonic the Hedgehog, they also rip off various Pokémon, mostly Pikachu and Raichu, combined with other Pokémon-types.
• The character Jiggliami is a humanoid variation of a Jigglypuff.
• The so-called Sonichu Balls are designed like various Pokéballs, though they also function like other items.
• Sonees are also slightly edited Pichu, with a bit of Chao mixed in.

For more info, see the main article.

Anime

Digimon

• Silvana's origin is very similar to Gatomon's, as both were long separated from their kind and raised by evil villains who made them into their minions. The only difference being that Silvana was given a penis.
• Ultra Sonichu's Chaotic Remedy is a blatant copy of MagnaAngemon's Magna Antidote attack.

Dragonball/Z/GT

• Chris-chan Sonichu's famed attack, the Curse-ye-ha-me-ha (later Shin-ye-ha-me-ha), is based on the famed super attack known as the Kamehameha.
• The Sonichu Balls, though resembling PokéBalls, are said to function more like the titular Dragonballs, as they are able to grant a wish when all are brought together.
• Ultra Sonichu, which shares an amazing resemblance to Super Saiyan warriors, by flying sky high and kicking ass and all.
• Collosal-Chan is obviously Super Saiyan 4 from GT.
• Mypoe ripped off Punchy's tail because it was a "weak spot".

Excel Saga

• A veritable hellstorm of shameless rips from this series appears in the Sonichu comics, in a way nearly as pervasive as Pokémon and Sonic the Hedgehog, yet comparatively subtler because he steals one-liners and monologues more than characters or storylines.
• ...although he does indeed steal characters (like Mypoe and Nabeshin and the Jerkop Daitenzen) from time to time.
• It is also possible that Chris stole the Curse-ye-ha-me-ha from the parody "Nabehameha" from Excel Saga (which was essentially a Kamehameha attack, except shaped like an afro).

For more info, see the main article.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

• The character of Simonla Rosechu is a ripoff of a "fanmade" Sonichu named Simonchu who, in turn, is ripped off from the main character of the series, Simon the Digger.

• It should be noted that Chris has in fact never seen TTGL, and as such he misinterpreted several aspects of Simonchu's design that were intended to be referential to Simon: his cape became Simonla's shell, and his Core Drill pendant became a shark's tooth necklace.

• When Chris was forced to kill off Simonla in Sonichu 10, he promptly created Sandy Rosechu, Simonla's daughter. She is essentially exactly the same design-wise, except she is yellow and has a different hairstyle.

Inuyasha

• In Issue 2, Sarah's Sonichu form pins Wes's Sonichu form to a tree, Wes making the statement "Where did this non-sacred tree come from?" This is a "hilarious gag" referring to Inuyasha's origin story, wherein he was pinned by an arrow to a cursed tree by priestess/crack shot/vengeful ex-girlfriend Kikyo. Also, with some imagination and enough alcohol, one can see that a cloud in the background in one of the panels is shaped vaguely like Inuyasha's head.
• Chris also has a Blaziken in his pokemon team named Inu Yasha, which was only revealed on the CWCipedia. It's likely that this is the same Blaziken seen training with Simonla in Sonichu 10, though he is not identified by name in that comic.

Pretty Cure

“	"This is so "Pretty Cure"! I'M BACK!"	”
Chris-chan Sonichu, Sonichu #4

• Pretty Cure, unlike Sonichu, is a true parody that purposefully spoofs the ridiculous costumes, magical schoolgirls, and attack names of other anime series. The Chris-Chan Pure Pulse Jolt Lance (the attack that Chris-Chan Sonichu and Crystalina Rosechu are able to perform with their combined Hedgehog powers) is stolen from this series, and even though its original counterpart was given a ridiculous name, Chris felt the need to make it sound like some idiot had just mashed some random words into an attack name for his own version. Oh wait...

• Also noteworthy is that Chris copied (and butchered) the pre-attack catch phases and attack poses. Most of these rip-offs occur in Sonichu #4 and Sonichu #5.

Sailor Moon

• Sailor Megtune, Chris's hideously inappropriate SI Mary Sue for Megan, is based off the various heroines from the series, though the name is based off of Sailor Neptune.
• The Dark Mirror Hole may be a reference to a number of related Sailor Moon places/items, including the Black Dream Hole of the Sailor Moon Super S movie (the actual place), and a mirror-like item from Sailor Moon Stars.

For more info, see the main article.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

• Sarah Hammer's husband-to-be is depicted as Jack's Knight, a Yu-Gi-Oh! monster, because Chris had no idea what the groom looked like and didn't bother to check. Way to go!
• Chris tends to use various Yu-Gi-Oh terms during his battles ("Trap cards"? Seriously?) and is even depicted using a Duel Disk when dealing with Wes Iseli.

For more info, see the main article.

Yuu Yuu Hakusho

• In Curse-ye-ha-me-ha Retraction, Chris mentions the use of a "Curse Shot", fired in the same way main character Yuusuke Urameshi would fire his main attack, the Rei Gun.

Macross Frontier

• Chris's infamous drawing of Jiggliami was copied from a picture by Blanca, who copied the pose from one of a popular picture of Ranka Lee, one of the major characters of the series.

Western Animation

The Adventures of The American Rabbit

• Chris ripped many concepts for his Love Quest and lines from that movie are used in the comics ("Thanks, I will father" from the cover Sonichu 0 is a line uttered by Robert Rabbit).

For more info, see the main article.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force

• The ATHF characters appear in one panel in Sonichu 0, along with Meatwad's old catchprase, "The bun is in your mind".
• Chris (badly) painted one of his Guitar Hero guitars to look like Meatwad's toy guitar.

For more info, see the main article.

Beavis and Butt-head

• Beavis and Butt-head appear in the Time Travel episode in a gag directly stolen from the original cartoon series (although Chris said "Sorry" to Mike Judge).

For more info, see the main article.

Darkwing Duck

• Darkbind Sonichu is a partial ripoff of this series' main character – Darkwing Duck.
• The font Chris uses to write "Darkbind" is traced from the show's logo.
• Upon arriving, Darkbind recites a completely bastardized version of Darkwing Duck's trademark entrance speeches. The main change is that the original speeches were filled with tongue-in-cheek irony, while Chris's version is completely serious and unnecessarily pompous.
• Chris calls Darkbind "D.B.", reminiscent of how Darkwing Duck's sidekick Launchpad McQuack calls him "D.W."
• Princess Zelina Rosechu may be a partial ripoff of Darkwing Duck's girlfriend Morgana McCawber (though this theory is debatable).

Ed, Edd and Eddy

• In one of his ED edits, Chris added a huge wall of Random-access humor, including a joke from the episode "One Plus One Equals Ed": "Carrots are good for your eyes, can it dial a phone?", originally said by Ed.
• In the video "CWC's Flying Elephants", Chris bashes his head on his bed like a retard, and quotes another line from Ed: "I'm a woodpecker! Except with dirt!"

Family Guy

• In Issue 7, Chris meets Sammy, who resembles Peter Griffin, who goes through a series of incidents involving a sequence from Filmation's Ghostbusters.
• In Issue 8, Chris directly lifts a gag in which a news anchor delivers a serious professional story, then immediately jumps to excited coverage of Spring Break.
• The title of his bizarre rap video, "iPods Down and Listen Up," was lifted from the "Prick Up Your Ears" episode, in which the reverend teaching the high school about abstinence starts his performance by telling the kids, "Put your Walkmans down and listen up."
• At the end of Sonichu 10, Marvey Blaziken tells the reader that "inspiration does not have a schedule." On Family Guy, this exact phrase was spoken by New Brian during the episode "The Man with Two Brians" before he proceeds to sing about farting. Naturally, the phrase referred to New Brian fitting in writing a song (about farting) into his already-busy schedule of helping out the family.
• In Issue 11, one of the baby Rosechus is playing the Virgin Mary in a school play, she says "I'm the Virgin Mary, that's my story and I'm sticking to it." This is said by Joe's wife in one of the Christmas episodes, where she is doing the exact same thing.

For more info, see the main article.

Futurama

• The time travel plot of episode 16 of Sonichu 7 ("Time Hogs") was stolen from the direct to DVD Futurama movie "Bender's Big Score", which the shamelessly lampshaded by the recolors in the beginning of the episode.

Ghostbusters (Filmation)

• Chris's Family-Guy-style gag rips from The Non-Real Ghostbusters created by Filmation.

For more info, see the main article.

He-Man

• S10 Ep21 p.5 (preview): Beel exclaims: "I have the power!" after stealing Chris's Medallion of Fail.

Home Movies

• Officer Keino's appearance is ripped straight from Coach McGuirk.
• The end of the Giant Penis Comic special contains gags from the show.

Inspector Gadget

• Darkbind Sonichu's nemesis, Clawdorf, is (possibly) based on Inspector Gadget's nemesis Dr.Claw, who was also most of the time seen as a dark silhouette. If it's true, it is especially strange, as Darkbind is based on Darkwing Duck and the Legend of Zelda, not Inspector Gadget.

Peanuts

Main Article: Peanuts

Powerpuff Girls

• The other half of Blake's origin was stolen from The Powerpuff Girls, as an accidental dose of a foreign chemical gives him his evilness and his blackness. This is lampshaded poorly on the cover to Black Sonichu's introductory issue.

Ren and Stimpy

• Sub-episode 6 rips off the Ren & Stimpy Episode "Lair of the Lummox," which Chris even acknowledges (with Ren & Stimpy thinly veiled as "Ben & Stumpy.")
• At the end of episode 17, there is an advert for "Knothole"; and boasted as being from the creators of "Log".

Samurai Pizza Cats

• In the aforementioned random-access humor ED edit, Chris quoted a joke from the US-dubbed version of SPC: "Quiet everybody, Emperor Fred has an announcement...FRED".
• He created the Samurai Pizza Bots, which is a ripoff of both Samurai Pizza Cats and Transformers. They make several appearances in the comic to help Sonichu battle the Jerkops.

Sealab 2021

• In the same ED edit, Chris included a joke from the Sealab 2021 episode "Legend of Baggy Pants": "What? Pod six doesn't need a Pro Shop, they need a dentist."

Smurfs

• Wild Sonichu seems to be "inspired" by the character of Wild Smurf. Both live in treehouses. Both swing from vines (although Wild Sonichu's vines swinging comes from ripping off Spider-Man). Both were raised by wild animals. Honestly, the only difference between the two is that Wild Sonichu can actually talk (Wild Smurf communicated in chipmunk sounds more than anything else).

South Park

• CADD Chef is an obvious ripoff of the character Chef.
• Beel has a strong resemblance to South Park's Satan.

For more info, see the main article.

The Brak Show

• In the oft-mentioned ED edit, Chris included lines from The Brak Show, all of them from the same episode ("The New Brak").

Transformers

• Optimus Prime mercilessly killing Decepticon spy Sarah Jackson.
• Various Transformer-types are set to appear in Sonichu 9 Episode 20.

For more info, see the main article.

Tom Goes To The Mayor

• Placing the Mayor's Office inside the mall is either a reference to this or Chris having terrible priorities.

Movies and TV shows

Gilligan's Island

• Thurston Howell III and his wife make an appearance in Sonichu 8, hinting at the name of the head of 4-Cent Garbage.

Monty Python

• When Darkbind Sonichu is fighting the B-Manajerk, a blow for blow copy of the 'Black Knight' sketch from The Holy Grail.
• CWCFlyingElephants. Need I say more?
• S10 Ep21 p.8: An impromptu "comedic" sequence making "fun" of Jimmy Hill starts with "And now for something completely different...", contains a collage of photos and drawings reminiscent of Terry Gilliam's artistic experiments, and features a porcupine shouting: "Dinsdale!".

For more info, see the main article.

Spaceballs

• In the Episode 8 fight between Wes-Li Sonichu and Chris-Chan Sonichu, Chris-Chan Sonichu gets his tail singed by a fire blast then exclaims, "You burned my tail! Now it's personal!" before going on the offensive. This is very similar to the scene in the movie "Spaceballs" where gun-hating Princess Vespa gets her hair singed by a laser in a firefight and exclaims, "You shot my hair! You son of a bitch!" then proceeds to singlehandedly mow down the attacking Spaceballs with a laser rifle. While the words aren't identical, he reads the lines with the same cadence and inflection as Vespa's in his Official Videobook clip.

Carrie

• Chris's The High School Story is an amalgamation of Stephen King's Carrie, and Chris' own high school experience. Its main character, Terrah, is bullied and under appreciated, so she kills everyone with her psychic powers. It is safe to assume that Chris saw the movie adaptation of Carrie, and not the book, as it is unimaginable that Chris would ever spend his time on a book without illustrations.

Power Rangers

• In Sonichu 9, the CWC-Power Rangers are introduced, but never seen with the sole exception of Kart Megazord.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III

• In page 28 of Sonichu 1, Sonic is quoted saying "Eh... you were expecting maybe, Bugs Bunny?" a direct 'reference' to a line said by one of the non-yawning Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the third movie. The original line was 'Eh... you were expecting maybe, The Addams Family?" It is ironic in this case that of all the lines Chris-Chan could have possibly chosen from the movie, he went ahead to choose one of the most awful, face-palming, gut-wrenchingly bad lines (only second to the even worse line "Help! I'm a turtle and I can't get up!"), and proceeded to MAKE IT WORSE. Congratulations.

Saw series

• Louis Perez, appearing in Sonichu 10 to apprehend Inos could be named after the character from the Saw franchise (possibly a relative, as Lindsey Perez from the movies is female). Chris has previously stated, that the Saw series is one of his favorite movie franchises in one of the Mailbags. Both characters are black policemen, making the "inspiration" much more likely.
• The execution of the Asperpedia crew in Sonichu 10 is performed through what equates to elaborate death traps, similar to what is seen in the Saw series. They certainly have more in common with those movies than with anything resembling actual state-sponsored executions.

Independence Day

• In the Christian Love Day video, he recited a modified version of the speech that the President makes before making a last stand against the aliens, which shows just how ridiculously corny he can get.

The Root of All Evil

• This Comedy Central show featuring Lewis Black as a judge was ripped off in Sonichu 10, where the judge at the trial, named "Slack Lewis," greatly resembles Black.

The Simpsons

Sandy Rosechu is an obvious rip-off of Lisa Simpson, in appearance and personality.

Lethal Weapon 2

• The exploding toilet death of Simonla was ripped off from the 1989 sequel to the 1987 film, Lethal Weapon and its infamous exploding toilet scene.

Star Wars

While he hasn't ripped it off directly (yet), he once told Jackie in their e-mail exchanges that he essentially planned to make the backstory of Wild Sonichu a rip-off of the relationship between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader (Darth Vader being Luke's father turned evil, for the few of you living in caves).

This is Spinal Tap

• During the Revive Zordon performance, the speaker blurts out that the volume is "Cranked up to Eleven".

Video Games

Banjo Kazooie

• Flame the Sunbird is just a very poor drawing of Kazooie who seems to want pants for some reason that no rational person can fathom. Any who enjoyed this game can only thank Godjesus that Chris doesn't seem to realize that Kazooie is a girl.

• In Sonichu 9, Sonichu's battle with Mary Lee Walsh is ripped directly from the final boss fight with Gruntilda. The only differences are that the fireballs are replaced with dark energy and Mary does not fall to her death.

Legend Of Zelda

• The characters Darkbind Sonichu and Zelina Rosechu are rip-offs of Link and Zelda, the two main characters from the series, alongside being rip-offs of elements from the cartoon series Darkwing Duck, strangely enough.
• The entire subplot about Darkbind and Zelina (involving Zelina being put under a sleeping spell by an evil wizard) is taken nearly verbatim from the story of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (where the Link from the first game must awaken the original Zelda from a sleeping spell put on her by - you guessed it, an evil wizard).
• It's not clear if he's a fan of the series, since while he's compared one of his favorite games (Brutal Legend) to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, it's likely he simply saw the game was the highest ranking game on GameRankings and other game scoring websites.

Mobile Suit Gundam

• During the Megan Saga, Chris drew box art for John's Custom Gundam: Sisterly Rescue, one of Chris's many fake box arts for his imaginary games. What's unique about this one is that it involves Megan Schroeder and her brother, John. Despite being about Megan, it is not a rape simulator, but instead believed to be a ripoff of Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo.

Street Fighter

• Chris-Chan Sonichu's attack "Hyper Beam" looks a lot like Ryu and Ken's special attack "Hadouken". It appears in S10 Ep21 p.7.
• In Sonichu 9, Sonichu performs a Flash Kick on Slaweel.
• In Sonichu Special 4, Kacey's father resembles Guile.

Super Mario Bros

Super Mario is a video game series conceived by Shigeru Miyamoto, and has been the mascot of Nintendo for over 20 years. While Sonic has fallen into a self-induced pit of horrifying shit, probably never to escape, Mario has stayed consistently good for all this time. Despite this, Chris very much favors Sonic, as he only has a passing interest in Mario. Perhaps it's the lack of furry material to mass debate to, the complex level design and puzzles or just the fact that at one time, Mario was the rival of Sonic, probably leaving Chris with some grudge against the series. However, he has enough interest to rip it off from time to time.

• The wing cap ability from Super Mario 64 is ripped off in Sub-Episode 4, where Chris flies around with wings on his head. They are later discarded, and Chris is strangely shown flying without them.
• His concept for Sonic The Hedgehog 64, as expressed in his Hand-drawn Nintendo Power magazine, is nothing more than Mario 64 with Sonic and Tails. Literally.

Brutal Legend

• In Sonichu 9, during the introduction of the Samurai Pizza Bots, Armoraxe uses a move that looks and acts exactly like the Solo "Face Melter" from the game. The only difference is that the move is called "Metal Melter"
• The devil trolls that appear to carry IBAChandler away after he is defeated by Sonichu seem to be a rip-off of the fans that appear to carry you off when you are defeated during a stage battle in Brutal Legend. This is confirmed by the retarded phrase written next to the same panel in the comic, "Hmm, What 'Legend' brought these fans?"
• In Sonichu 10, Chris using the power of music and stage to destroy the 4-Cent Garbage building may have been inspired by Brutal Legend's Stage Battles.
• Simonla gives Wild Sonichu her lucky sharks tooth necklace, similar to when Eddie Riggs gives Ophelia his sharks tooth necklace in Brutal Legend.

God of War

• Page 75, Issue 10. Collosal Chan pulls out lightning bolt versions of Kratos's Blades to fight Slaweel.

PaRappa the Rapper

• In preparation for the Revive Zordon performance, Sonichu puts on PaRappa's hat and becomes as flat and two-dimensional as PaRappa (not to mention his own character) is, saying "I gotta believe!"

Western Comics

Spider-Man

• Wild Sonichu is a partial ripoff of Spider-Man, a superhero who can shoot long web strings from his hands. He uses these web ropes to swing across the city and entangle his enemies. Also, the scene in the end of Episode 19 (Sonichu 9) is highly reminiscent of the Spider-Man movie. Similarly, Wild can also climb walls with relative ease, though it's not clear whether he's just a good climber or if he literally clings to walls, as Spider-Man does.

The Incredible Hulk

• Rosechu's bat shit insane rapist form, now known as the Incredible Lioness, is based off of the Incredible Hulk. While Rosechu didn't turn green (and seeing as she's an abomination already, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that she's already bathed in gamma radiation), she gets pissed off when Jason Kendrick Howell launches a pickle at her and she tears him a new one.

Songs

• Everything from the Christian and the Hedgehog Boys albums are sung over another song; this may be Chris's biggest showing of plagiarism yet, aside from his own comic.
• Jiggliami's song, "War of Love," is a ripoff of "Love Is War," a Supercell song using Miku Hatsune for vocals. While Blanca wrote the ripoff, Chris was more than willing to use it in Sonichu 8.

Tommy Tutone

• The product number for John's Custom Gundam is 8675309.

List of fiction Chris has referenced and otherwise bastardized

While Chris's masterpiece is chock full of shameless ripoffs and copyright infringements, there are some references to works of fiction which can't be actually considered "ripping off", but manage to ruin the franchise in question nevertheless, for the sole fact of being referenced in Sonichu. These are mostly instances of Chris either including a minor reference to a work of fiction, or just mentioning it, in his comics. While it's not considered a crime de jure, it still may be called a crime against humanity, whose culture Chris has thus bastardized.

Note that when such minor references concern works or franchises already listed in the main ripoff list above, they're added there, not here. It was done so that it would be easier to see how much has Chris managed to bastardize each franchise.

• Batman: S8 Ep17 p.35: Batman's portrait is hanging on the wall of the CWCville Mayoral Office for some completely mysterious reason.

• Bugs Bunny:

• S1 Ep6 p.28: Sonic the Hedgehog says to the startled Dr.Robotnik: "Eh... You were expecting, maybe Bugs Bunny?"
• S10 Ep21 p.8: Bugs himself appears in the Monty Python-esque collage, lecturing the toothless photograph of Jimmy Hill (who was implied to have sold counterfeit Warner Bros. merchandise in the past) on the evils of copyright infringement.

• Dig Dug:

• S9 Ep19 p.12: Simonla's screen name is "DigDugette416".
• Later, on S9 Ep19 p.17, Layla jokes that Simonla only needs a pump to "fully dig the dug", whatever that means.

• Fight Club and Chuck Palahniuk:

• S1 SE2 p.S-4: Hanna tells Chris that she likes reading books by "Chuck Paladuck" (sic), who is also (according to Chris's footnote) "the director of the movie "Fight Club" (well, maybe he believes that David Fincher is just Chuck's alternate personality?)... Yes, "Chuck Paladuck".
• If Chris has actually seen the movie, it may be the influence behind "Christopher".

• Grand Theft Auto: S10 Ep21 p.1 (preview): Jason Kendrick Howell orders: "Beel! Prepare for Grand Theft Medal!"

• Guitar Hero:

• LittleBigPlanet: S10 Ep21 p.1 (preview): For no reason at all, Sackboy appears at the bottom of the page and recites an anti-pirate advertisement for "LittleBigPlanet" and Chris's Level of Fail.

• R.L.Stine:

• Sprung: S1 SE2 p.S-5: Chris is shown playing "Sprung" on his Nintendo DS for dating tips before going on a date with Hanna. He reads the infamous "So, do angels have names?" compliment and notes that it "sounds right".

• Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: Magical Man Potion: Chris drinks a magical concoction and transforms into an entirely different being, before reverting to his own self. Due to the fact that the transformation is "from bumbling to suave" rather than "from moral to cruel", as well as the extreme unlikelihood of him knowing classical Scottish literature, he probably stole the concept from The Nutty Professor, a derivative work of Jekyll and Hyde.

• B-Daman: S1 Ep6 p.32: Sonic curls up into a ball and enters a pocket of whatever in Sonichu's stomach, upon which Sonichu fires him out at Metal Sonichu which also is the form of a ball. At first, this looks like a reference to balls, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be a ripoff of the Japanese Anime and Toy series B-Daman, which involves small cute robot-like characters firing balls out of their stomachs at other balls.

• Star Trek: Both within the comics and in his real life presentations, he uses the phrase "Captains Log" a reference to the opening of most Star Trek episodes and movies. He's never seen anything of the franchise, not even the new movie most likely, but he felt the need to rip it off anyway. That's Chris for you.

The TL;DR Version

At this point, it's almost easier to list the beloved franchises Chris hasn't ruined.
