It is no secret that Chris spends a healthy portion of his day watching Television shows. His preferences become apparent not only because he will constantly force you to listen to him talk about them, but also because Chris, in his infinite originality, likes to take phrases and sentences from shows and use them word by word in his everyday speech. This article attempts to list all of these occurrences, especially those he has used repeatedly.
Family Guy, The Cleveland Show or American Dad

Brian, reading the instructions, says, "Insert rod 'A' into slot 'B'."
