Hey, Vivian. I'm going to tell you right now that if you were trying to offend me with this "South Park" Parody; You Failed. This is just SOO FUNNY! You ought to know I like "South Park", especially the less dramatic, more comical episodes. ROFL
Chris[1]
"Grade-F destruction"? Really?

South Park is a popular animated comedy program on Comedy Central. Chris is an avowed fan of the series. His collection of PlayStation Network video downloads and Netflix downloads include dozens of South Park episodes, and he's swiped both its content and style on more than one occasion in his comics.

South Park in Sonichu

Beel

Main article: Beel

Beel is the receptionist at the 4-cent_garbage.com building in Sonichu #8. His appearance seems to be somewhat based on the Satan character on South Park, with the exception of his lack of facial hair and cloven hooves as featured on Satan. The Satan character on the show is a homo, and was engaged in love affairs with Saddam Hussein and other male characters.

CADD Chef

Main article: CADD Chef

CADD Chef is a minor villain. One can easily tell that this character (although based on Kene Meniru, one of Chris's teachers at Piedmont Virginia Community College) is a blatant ripoff of Isaac Hayes's "Chef" character from South Park, not just in appearance but also in one of his quotes.

Sonichu and Rosechu's Luv Shack

The title of Chris's gallery of hideous Rule 34 is copied from the title of the video game South Park: Chef's Luv Shack.

Sonichu #9

Stan, Kenny, Cartman, Token and Wendy make cameo appearances in the "Dating Education" episode.[2]

Chris fails to grasp South Park

After the release of Chris's audio recording of his April 2010 confrontation with Michael Snyder, Vivian Gee used that audio to compose a parody video, setting the recording to a South Park-style animation that featured Chris in the role of a bigoted Cartman-esque character.

Chris commented on the video's YouTube page, having fundamentally missed the point: "I'm going to tell you right now that if you were trying to offend me with this "South Park" Parody; You Failed. This is just SOO FUNNY!"

It appears that Chris doesn't understand the show's presentation of characters like Cartman. While Cartman (and to a lesser extent his friends, when they're in their more sociopathic modes) is meant to come across as a selfish little snot devoid of any redeeming qualities, Chris apparently views him as some kind of role model or example of appropriately entertaining behavior, hence his obvious pleasure at the comparison Vivian's video created. Further evidence of Chris having a positive view of Cartman appears in Mailbag 35, where Chris seems to see Cartman as a good Christian looking to save the souls of rest of the children on the show.[3]

Chris rarely understands any moral dispensed by television. When he does take one, it's because he's decided that it can be used to justify whatever tomfoolery he's been up to. Unsurprisingly, Chris often misses the original point completely. For example, while attempting to justify his attempt to pretend to be Liquid in an attempt to steal his girlfriend, he claimed that he was "Wrong, but for the right reasons." This comes from another episode of South Park called "Best Friends Forever", where, after a satire of the Terri Schiavo controversy, it is stated that Cartman was "Right, but for the wrong reasons". In context, it meant that his goal of shutting down the vegetative Kenny's life support was the right thing to do (for reasons involving the fate of the universe that are too complex to explain here), but his motivation was completely off mark: he only did it because he knew that Kenny's death would cause him to inherit his PSP. Meanwhile, Stan and Kyle were "Wrong, but for the right reasons", as they wanted to keep Kenny alive in a perpetual vegetative state even though they should just let him die, but they were doing so because they actually cared about Kenny, rather than exploiting the situation for their own benefit like Cartman was. Chris seems to have interpreted this as "If you do a bunch of bad things, like pretending to be someone else in order to steal their girlfriend, you are completely justified in doing so if your dishonest actions lead to a positive outcome, like proving that you are the TRUE and HONEST Christian Weston Chandler and getting laid".

His fear of homosexuals destroying the future, incidentally, emerged from an episode of South Park called "Goobacks", which was a satire on the controversy of illegal immigration. In the episode, a group of rednecks who had lost their jobs to the illegal immigrants from the future decided that the best way to get their jobs back was to destroy the future by making everyone gay so there wouldn't be anybody in the future. It should be noted that although Chris undoubtedly believes South Park is anti gay, the show itself actually preached tolerance towards homosexuals in the episode "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride", which was only the fourth episode of the show's run and introduced the recurring character Big Gay Al, who has been portrayed positively in each of his appearances. In addition, the show openly supported gay marriage in the 2005 episode "Follow That Egg". Show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are members of the Libertarian Party, which is known for their support of gay marriage, and would probably be none too pleased with Chris's interpretation of the show's stance on homosexuality.
