Adult Swim is a late-night programming block on Cartoon Network, catering primarily to adults age 18-24.
Due to Chris's biological clock, he would stay up late at night and would frequently watch Adult Swim, especially since it catered to two of his chief interests - anime and random-access humor.
He has also downloaded many episodes of various Adult Swim series through the PlayStation Network -- almost $120 worth, as of fall 2009.
Of interesting note is the show Moral Orel (which ended in 2008), which is a claymation mainly focused at deconstructing fundamentalism, and the merging of church and state, which is common in the Midwestern United States and Bible Belt. It openly criticizes the blind faith and intolerance of many American Christians, and people like Chris are exactly who they are making fun of. Chris has stated in the Mailbag that he has watched the show, and said it was "okay". It is likely that all of the jokes and truths go right over his head, even obvious ones such as a character saying "I guess lots of things get misinterpreted and lost in translation" while scratching his head with a Bible. The subtlety and sarcasm is lost on the autistic mind. He probably didn't like the pilot episode which hinted at a homosexual relationship between two characters.
Shows that Chris watches
- Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
- Lucy: Daughter of the Devil
- Futurama
- Family Guy
- Drawn Together (he has made ModNation Racers characters of Princess Clara and Foxxy Love)
- Robot Chicken
- The Boondocks
- Aqua Teen Hunger Force
- 12 oz. Mouse
- The Oblongs
- Home Movies
- Assorted anime
- Tom Goes To The Mayor (this is where he stole the idea of having a mayor's office inside a shopping mall)
- Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! (unconfirmed, but likely, as it is made by the same people as Tom Goes To The Mayor and is full of random access humor)
