Spazkid
Born on September 7, 1990, Cory J. Beck, known by his online handles Spazkid and Spazkidin3D, is a popular animator on Youtube and a main member of SleepyCabin. He is best known for the animations, Powertrip (+18), Pokemon Spread (+18), and Egorapture. Cory is also popular for his work with Shadman, which consists mainly of adult cartoons, and is occasionally streamed on Shad's Picarto TV channel. He is a recurring host on the SleepyCast and is known for his nonsensical stories and overactive attitude.
Discovering Chris Chan
When Spazkid first discovered Chris in 2007, he, like many others at the beginning, thought Chris was a troll and all his shenanigans were just an act. But when he eventually discovered that he was legit, he was fascinated and went along with the whole trolling biz for four years by creating the animated series. It should be noted that thanks to the series, its pretty much how he got his start and earn a huge following, with his channel having over 500000 subscribers.
The Animated Series
The series centers around the misadventures of Chris Chan and Sonichu with each episode being around 1 minute to 6 minutes long. For four years, it ran for two seasons, with the first season consisting of 10 episodes and the second one only two. The series was a way to make a mockery out of Chris by making him look like a bigger idiot than he already is and with him always ending up in each episode being killed, injured, humiliated or doing something disgusting/stupid.
Since the series is mashup of both Chris real-life adventures and his comics, a lot of plot elements are incredibly exaggerated version of some sagas and his comics or at least reference to them, such in one episode when a ninja came and stole Chris medallion and shove it up his own ass is an obvious reference to the BlueSpike saga, or Chris masturbating in a cup while watching Transformers and then drinking it. Many characters from both sagas and his comics make appearances such as Rosechu, Jimmy Hill, Megan, etc. The series also does things that Chris would absolutely hate, such as making Sonichu be abusive to Rosechu, him and Sonichu being engaged in gay sexual acts and even Chris being raped by a black guy.
The animation was animated in MS paint, with the style being kinda reminiscent of Ren and Stimpy in a way to make the characters look more grotesque than they already are. It should also be known that Liquid Chris himself joined along and provided the voice of Chris Chan in some episodes mostly since he was at the time one the few people who could imitate Chris Chan perfectly. When it wasn't Liquid doing the voice, the others time it was Spazkid himself.
Reason For Cancellation
Years later after the series ended abruptly, in a podcast called Sleepycast, Spazkid revealed that the reason why he stopped abruptly the series was because it became sadder the more Chris Chan went on and he starting feeling bad for him( as well that Chris wasn't relevant anymore), especially when he found out that Chris's father died and later became a tomgirl, though he still thinks its funny that Chris still freaks out about Sonic to this day. He mentioned that he still gets lots of tweets from die-hard fans asking him if he could bring back the series only for him to say no and that they should just let it die.
“ | Chris-Chan is—he’s an enigma which to so many people—they thought he was a troll. Because they’re like, “there’s no way this motherfucker is real” because he’s like the saddest human being ever. And it’s SAD because it’s like… I spent four years of my life fucking with him and people are like, “bring it back!” And I’m like, “NO! LET IT DIE.” It’s like depressing—it’s not the golden age—it’s the depressing age. | ” |
Spazkid, rebuking the weens. |
Despite him feeling remorse for his action toward Chris, he still doesn't hesitate in calling him a retard and being aware that Chris is still a despicable human being.
Reception
The series was met with positive reception all over the internet with many claiming it to be the best-animated representation of Chris.
Chris Chan Thoughts?
In an interview, when asked if Chris has seen the animated series, he replied by saying that he still hasn't seen it, though it can be assumed that when he eventually does, he will be incredibly upset about it, kinda like when he saw the Documentary of him.
