Chris and contests
Since winning the Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes, Chris has entered a number of contests.
Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes
- Main article: Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes
The Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes was a contest held in 1993 to promote the first Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon, the syndicated Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
The contest's grand prize — a $1,000 Kay-Bee Toys shopping spree — was awarded to two lucky winners, one of whom happened to be Chris.
This is one of the defining moments of young Chris's life, being the first of many contests Chris has entered over the years.

In February 2005, Cartoon Network held a contest inviting viewers to make a commercial for the Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law Vol. 1 DVD set. Chris did not win the contest, or even place in the top five. This inspired him to post a complaint on the Adult Swim forums.

next Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE |
In November 2006, Chris entered Adult Swim's "What would you do for a PS3?" contest. In his entry video, Chris says he'd throw away the cure for autism, if he had it, would trade in his PS2, and would make a PS3 out of Pixelblocks, and shows off his Pixelated PS3. Needless to say, Chris did not win the PS3.
PaRappa the Rapper contest
- Main article: PaRappa the Rapper Contest
In June 2007, Chris entered the PaRappa the Rapper Contest, which required contestants to film themselves performing either Chop Chop Master Onion's rap, Instructor Mooselini's rap or Cheap Cheap the Cooking Chicken's rap a capella. The grand prize winner of the contest would receive two PSPs and an all-expenses-paid trip to Seattle for the 2007 Penny Arcade Expo. Chris hoped that he would win, so that he could bestow one of the PSPs to his beloved Megan Schroeder and invite her to accompany him on the trip, thereby creating an opportunity for her to give in to her obvious passion for him.
Chris's video made it into the top 10, from which the winner was to be selected from a vote by PlayStation Underground members in July 2007. Despite a campaign on the part of Chris, the competition was won by Adam Stackhouse, whom Chris bears a grudge against as he felt Adam broke the rules[1] by having music and multiple people in his entry. Chris loathed the 2nd and 3rd place winners for having music as well. In actuality, the beatboxing in Adam's video counts as a cappella. Furthermore, another top 10 finalist claimed that he had removed his own music to avoid breaking the rules, but Sony said it was fine.[2]
Relentless vote stuffing did earn Chris a reward, however. The rules state that finalists would "...get their Submissions published on PlayStation.com, and will receive a copy of the game PaRappa the Rapper for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system and some PaRappa branded premium items such as a PSP skin, PSP charm, and a PaRappa signature beanie (ARV $60)."
Radio station contests
Chris created Li'l Chris at the "Create-A-Critter Workshop" after winning a gift certificate from a radio station sometime in his early 20s.[3]
In May 2010, Chris won four tickets to an EXTREME ACTION SPORTS show from a radio call-in contest. As he could not find anyone else to go with him, even after he called the members of his Church's Young Adult Social Group, he was forced to scalp the tickets in front of the stadium and then sit alone in the bleachers beside a "lovey-dovey couple". This event prompted the Greene County Conspiracy video.
GameStop Be A Star Sweepstakes
Chris entered the GameStop Be A Star Sweepstakes in October 2008. The competition required entrants to send in a photograph of themselves in a "guitar hero pose", for the chance to win a $400 GameStop gift certificate.
Several trolls caught sight of Chris's entry and, mistakenly believing that the person with the most votes would star in the Guitar Hero game, and encouraged people to vote for Chris. Due to this Chris went on to win the competition.
Jackass 3D Contest

In February 2010, Chris entered a contest for the movie Jackass 3D, in which the person who submitted the best prank would get to appear in Jackass 3D. Needless to say, Chris did not win, as he violated the rules by sticking his penis in the snow for fifteen minutes, when Jackass-style pranks were forbidden, and contests were supposed to send in plans or sketches.[4]
