| Chris, threatening Vivian Gee | ||
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. Although normal humans may reference movies and such when it is funny, appropriate or ironic, Chris relies on these to teach him new words, phrases and ideas. In short, Chris is like a feral child, raised by television, who copies the mannerisms of his adoptive parent. When Chris stopped talking as a small child, his parents put him in front of the television for two-thirds of the day, which is about how much TV he watches now. Remember, whenever Chris is playing video games, drawing comics, or watching TV, he often has a TV running in the background, muted and with closed captioning on.
The Claw of Fail is associated with, but not exclusive to, tard rage.
Christian has also shown TV pitchman Billy Mays clutching a miniature dogwood tree in a similar fashion, possibly as a showing of dominance.
Use in Recent Months
In recent months, Chris has taken to using the Claw of Fail as a symbol of power or dominance over his enemies as seen in his rap video. This is perhaps a sign of Chris' slow turn to the dark side as he indulges in the art of what he hates the most, trolling. Given the recent blackmail videos and the theft of Kacey, we can only assume it's a matter of time before Chris becomes a full blown supervillan and wears the black sonichu medallion on a more regular basis.
It is also likely that the use of the claw is directly proportional to the size of Chris' current ego, evident in the fact that as of October, Chris' ego has inflated beyond human proportions blocking out the sun and causing it to snow in CWCville as seen in this video.

Notice how the threatening gesture is immediately negated by the Sonichu Medallion, the room full of toys, and the fact that it's being performed by what appears to be a blob that has sprouted limbs and a human head.

This is what Chris will look like after a few more weeks of playing Brutal Legend.

Most threats seem to come with a claw.
Has this gesture gotten less threatening with overuse?
Double claws for the Homos.
An early claw cameo, note the evil character doing it.
