['''THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE''' ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are ''not'' official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).
[[Image:042-CWC'sFavoriteHits.jpg|thumb|right|The first public appearance of [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]].]]


They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.
'''''Christian's Favorite Hits!''''' is the [[Chris and music|homemade CD]] which sparked the creation and debut of [[Trolls|everybody's]] favorite [[Sonic]] recolor, [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]].


== CHANNELS ==
==Volume 1==
The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.
Tasked with creating a jewel-case insert for graphic design class at [[Manchester High School|high school]], Chris found himself once again fighting for [[autism|artistic freedom of expression]]. The draconian rules of the assignment – that he avoid using copyrighted images – required Chris to get creative.


== EVENTS ==
{{quote|On the fateful day on March 17, [[2000]], I wanted to feature on my Favorite Hits CD Cover life-long hero, Sonic the Hedgehog, and cute newer character, Pikachu, but Copyrighted Characters were prohibited from the project.
The VINESAUCE MEME events that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong YTP scene.  These events would involve VINESAUCE-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't!  They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.


In later years, an event known as GRAND FEST was hosting PREMIERES for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC 69, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.
So, in my mind, I pondered and pondered when it hit me visually; [[Sonic]] and [[Pikachu]] combined.|Chris, being creative.<ref>[[The Sonichu Chronicles]]</ref>}}


== HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES ==
Chris claims to have gotten an A+ on the assignment.<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu</ref> The other characters on the cover are Christian's original Pokémon Espanolic, Koffingroo, Plautistic, Buggzap and Strongtire. Note that many of the other drawings on the cover are also uncreative combinations of Pokémon and other objects, such as the [[Chris and religion#Delusions of Godhood?|halo]] floating above Chris's head.  
Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition. Note that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE seem to have been most active between 2012 and 2019.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3”03’ tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they’re large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more

The first public appearance of Sonichu.

Christian's Favorite Hits! is the homemade CD which sparked the creation and debut of everybody's favorite Sonic recolor, Sonichu.

Volume 1

Tasked with creating a jewel-case insert for graphic design class at high school, Chris found himself once again fighting for artistic freedom of expression. The draconian rules of the assignment – that he avoid using copyrighted images – required Chris to get creative.

“ On the fateful day on March 17, 2000, I wanted to feature on my Favorite Hits CD Cover life-long hero, Sonic the Hedgehog, and cute newer character, Pikachu, but Copyrighted Characters were prohibited from the project.

So, in my mind, I pondered and pondered when it hit me visually; Sonic and Pikachu combined.

”
Chris, being creative.[1]

Chris claims to have gotten an A+ on the assignment.[2] The other characters on the cover are Christian's original Pokémon Espanolic, Koffingroo, Plautistic, Buggzap and Strongtire. Note that many of the other drawings on the cover are also uncreative combinations of Pokémon and other objects, such as the halo floating above Chris's head.

“ HE IS NOT JUST A POLYMERIZED pair of Game characters; He is his own Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon Self, and I have my own circled "C" on him, so there. ”
Chris, clearing up any misunderstandings.[3]

As for the CD's actual contents, the tracklist is unsurprisingly a very liberal interpretation of what constitutes a hit, being mostly comprised of songs from video game and movie soundtracks.

Liner Notes

CD inlay. Note an early prototype of The Wall of Originals in the background.

048-CWCsFavHits2In.jpg

Chris made a second CD, and illustrated a cover for it on 27 July 2000. Even though the front cover is less nauseating than the first, the back cover is somehow even more of a mess compared to its predecessor.

After making my last CD, time flew by, and more music came into my world. I have made this CD, which has many more of my favorite songs, to add more of my favorite songs on a 2nd disc.

There is a different order of types of songs, and another type has been added. In order, it goes as followed:

1st. Sonic Music (I like that Hedgehog).

2nd. Pokemon Music (I like the video games, and the TCG game)

3rd. Classic Jazz (I enjoy a cool, jazzy beat).

and 4th. Today's Rap/Rock (I enjoy it, but my Father does not).

And the order repeats till the 23rd song; it is a final Sonic Song. All in all, these are many more of my favorite hits! 8)

The tracklist has never been publicly released, but it can be assumed that it's very similar in tone to the last one with the (presumed) addition of some post-grunge/rap rock/nu metal songs.

Volume 3

As shown in the gallery below, Chris made a third edition of the CD at one point. Other than the cover, which was illustrated on 19 November 2000, nothing else is known about its contents.
