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!

As every Chris-chan's 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 Chrissy, 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 nigger version of Sonichu is a complete rip-off from the character “Shadow the Hedgehog”. His creation is partially inspired from the "Pokemon" 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.

Pokemon

  • Like the previously mentioned Sonichu and Rosechu characters ripping off Sonic the Hedgehog, they also rip off various Pokemon, mostly Pikachus and Raichus, combined with other Pokemon-types.
  • The character Jiggliami is a humanoid variation of a Jigglypuff.
  • The so-called Sonichu Balls are designed off of various Pokeballs, though they also function like other items.

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.

Dragonball/Z/GT

  • Chris-chan Sonichu's famed attack, the Curse-ye-ha-me-ha (later Shin-ye-ha-me-ha), is based off of the famed super attack known as the Kamehameha.
  • The Sonichu Balls, though resembling Pokeballs, 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, you know, flying sky high and kicking ass and all.

Excel Saga

  • A veritable hellstorm of shameless rips from this series appear in the Sonichu comics, in a way nearly as pervasive as Pokemon 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.

For more info, see the main article.

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.

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" is 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.

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 it's 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)

Puni Puni Poemy

Sailor Moon

  • Sailor Megtune, Chris's hideously inappropriate SI Mary Sue for Megan, is based off of 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.

Western Animation

The Adventures of The American Rabbit

  • There 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

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 bastardised 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

Family Guy

  • In Issue 7, Chris meets Sammy, who resembles Peter Griffin, whom goes through a series of incidents involving a sequence from Filmation's Ghostbusters.

For more info, see the main article.

Ghostbusters (Filmation's)

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

For more info, see the main article.

He-Man

Home Movies

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, not Inspector Gadget.

Peanuts

Need I say more?

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".

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 (however, Wild Sonichu's vines swinging comes from ripping off of 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

For more info, see the main article.

Transformers

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

  • 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.

Pink Panther

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.[1] While the words aren't identical, he reads the lines with the same cadence and inflection as Vespa's in his Official Videobook clip.[2]

Troll 1 & 2

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 line, and proceeded to MAKE IT WORSE. Congratulations.

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.
  • 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:

Super Mario Bros

  • While ripping off one of Nintendo's biggest franchises and having affinity for Shigeru Miyamato, Chris doesn't have much interest in the Super Mario series. Due to the lack of furry material, the games (at least the later ones) focus on puzzle solving and exploration and the fact at one time Mario was the rival of Sonic, that's not a surprise. However, the wing cap ability from Super Mario 64 was used in Sub-Episode 4.

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.

Superman

List of fiction Chris has referenced and otherwise bastardised

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 thusly bastardised. 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 bastardise each franchise.

  • 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 read the book seen the movie, it may be the influence behind "Christopher".
  • 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".
  • 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.
