Because the person at the network approving their scripts didn't recognize it

save edgy type shit. still like the show

>>215060464
Because the video they're referencing happened nearly 20 years ago and they referenced even darker things than Chris Chan prior tbqh like that Bjork stalker

>>215060464
what does it mean when you enjoy smiling friends but hate smiling friends fans? it's like they've never watched any other shows before. smiling friends is not edgy

>>215060464
No one above the age of 35 knows who chris chan is.

>>215060464
Because it's a show written by newgrounds cartoonists, which is why it gets shilled on here by their retarded fans despite how uninspired and boring it is.

If adult swim wasn't such tranny trash & wasn't looking for ANYTHING to fill the rick and morty void they wouldn't have been given a cartoon,
and instead of this show their fans would shill whatever book or video game or grift they would do instead

>>215062567
OP is just a fag who knows it's not edgy but is practically a bot

>>215062667
>uninspired
You can hate the humor but it is not uninspired. It's pretty much the modern day Courage. They use multimedia in every episode, etc etc

>>215060464
>>215061638
>>215061635

It's a pretty basic internet reference. Not even one of the darker Chris moments, just him fighting with his dad.

>>215062719
>it is not uninspired
It really is.
>They use multimedia in every episode
That doesn't mean it's not uninspired, it means they have a hard time coming up with ideas so they just decide to make everything wacky like rick and morty turned up to 11
Their brightest idea was
>DUDE lets get OTHER e-celebs to voice characters like red letter media guy and CHRIS CHAN!!!

>main character has shit audio mixing on purpose
Into the trash it goes.

>>215062772
Also Douge walker. They had Douge on

I enjoyed the episode but despite being a heavy internet user since 2008 I did not realize that was some kind of reference. I don't imagine most people in the biz realizing this either

Mr Boss is always great, the Charlie & Pim plots are kind of meh now.

>>215062816
If you didn't instantly catch that then no, you're not a "heavy internet user."

>>215062772
Except Rick and Morty's humor was all from the dialogue because the show is tweened lazy animation. Saying this every thread doesn't make it true
>WAH Mike was on the pilot 5 years ago. I'm going to cry forever about it
And? His Plinkett voice was perfect for that character. Also Chris Chan wasn't even on the show

>>215062667
>the most media literate /tv/ poster

>>215062862
Chris Chan was to appear as the grease puddle in the murder mystery episode but they decided against it when he was arrested and sent to prison.

>>215060464

>>215063302
Robert Chandler Sr (1927- 2011) had a famous interaction with his son Christian Weston (1982-?) wherein he entered his room to have him remove videos of their home which Christian had uploaded to the internet. Rather than actually cleaning the house and fixing it to be up to standard, Robert merely wanted Christian to remove the videos so that people with Green county board of health wouldn’t see that they live in squalor rather than actually fixing it so as not to live in squalor.

To this day, the videos of Christian’s house have not been removed from the internet.

>>215063393
Pretty much. It's just straight up pride and ego and being obsessed with le normalcy.

His dad was a brilliant electrical engineer.
If he wasn't on the spectrum himself he could had easily cracked a million.

>>215063569
No.
The public school he was enrolled in wanted to put him in special ed classes, but Barb and Bob wanted him in regular classes (because ignoring a problem works out so well)

So they moved to an entirely new district that didn't have special ed classes.

>>215063681
Some of the fake naming conventions are similar to R&M, but both shows took that from Adventure Time.

>>215062898
First part is true, but they already decided against it before the motherfucking because it dawned on them that Chris was too retarded to understand NDAs.

Why is this shit still 10 mintues long. and why are they still trying to cram an A plot and a B plot into a 10 minute runtime?

Chris's entire life is an indictment of the Virginia public school system. My school had multiple Chris Chans. Kids who were obviously mentally disturbed and borderline special needs. But the teachers passed them along so they wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. A system wide issue of "Not my fucking problem".

I've been on 4chan since before CWC and only learned about this apparent reference from this thread.
It's a completely normal sentence and there's no reason to believe it's le epic internet inside joke.

>>215066003
Newfag

I personally think there's more to it than it being a reference. There's something inherently amusing about the phrasing, the setting, the context, it's a very bleak scene and a contemporary portrait of communication breakdown and desperation. It's funny because it's funny, not because it's chrischan. It's characterization, borrowing from another father at his wit's end.

All the chrischan memes are difficult to untangle from the bullying of chrischan and I understand why someone would find it distasteful but I believe there's something funny/poetic about it even if's difficult to divorce it from the lolcow aspect.

>>215066003
>It's a completely normal sentence and there's no reason to believe it's le epic internet inside joke.
Watch the clips side by side. It's too deliberate to be a coincidence.

Smiling Friends would really benefit from being a 22 minute show. There's also no reason for multi year breaks between 90 minute seasons.

KINO

>>215066265
I know what you mean, but it's also a weirdly autistic graduation thing where you try to differentiate yourself as one of the "good" chrischan fans. I fall into that category as well. At the end of the day it'll always be an overly online spectacle around a mentally deficient man. My point was mainly that there's a wealth of chrischan stuff that's funny just in the abstract, like, taking stuff bob said and having it being said by mr boss is free characterization. It is technically a reference but more importantly it's about what's funny about the original clip

>>215060464
I don't get it.

>>215066595
The framing and line delivery are funny on their own. But the reference is what elevates the scene to greatness.

>>215066595
I kept up with Chris until the tranny shit started and I had the realization he just wasn’t fun anymore and the whole thing was becoming sad. Especially when Chris stopped regularly returning to the internet so trolls started seeking him out IRL that it became clear shit had reached past its peak.

I started laughing harder than I have at any media from the last few years.
But it really is just a "lol, I know that youtube reference!" show.

>>215064902
NO, you are wrong. He had sped classes called "coping skills." What the other district wanted was Chris to go to a different school entirely meant for autistic children.

You are posting wrong information on Chris. He had basic sped classes intended to teach people how to interact in society but he just ignored them/ it wasn't enough for his needs

>>215066443
It is funny for multiple reasons

1. Bob knows they live in shit but does nothing to improve living conditions. He just wants the video off the internet

2. He trusts a moron like Chris to get the videos down instead of trying to do it himself

3. He outright specifies in exact detail the name of the one place they don't want seeing the videos - Green county health department- giving trolls even more fuel to target them

>>215066595
understandable, i think there is an unhealthy slippery slope when it comes to obsessing over an online retard, even if you're not the one actively harassing them. like knowing way too much about them and spending way too much of your free time watching them spiral, i've known a few people that were like that with KingCobraJFS and it got pathetic past a certain point.
CWC specifically though is so deeply ingrained in internet culture that it's hard NOT to know a few things about him and laugh about it if you're online enough, he's iconic in a way other lolcows aren't

>>215066835
Didn't it take the trolls like a decade after this to finally get his house condemned?

>>215066875
They called immediately after the vid dropped but Bob just overestimated how bad his house is. The Chandler house isn't so bad as to be a public health menace.

>>215062615
Youre an idiot.

>>215066896
>The Chandler house isn't so bad as to be a public health menace.
At that point you would need Resident Evil tier shit for the county to step in. They simply don't have the resources to investigate every shithole brought to their attention.

>>215066862
Every line in that video is kino

"I was just telling all the people on the internet under my command." lmao

>>215066716
Yea, there's an aspect of growing up with it as well, initially it's just funny weird internet culture, then at some point you begin to to wonder about your own participation in. I'm not being a moral purist about lolcow stuff but the chrischan saga is a good overview of the entire scene, the funny side but also the unhealthy side, both for the lolcow and the audience

>>215066896
It’s a pretty common part of Chris-Chan lore that local authorities seem to go out of their way to not deal with the Chandlers.

>>215063177
he's known to freaks who like hunting for "lolcows" and the like

>>215066862
>i've known a few people that were like that with KingCobraJFS and it got pathetic past a certain point.
I've never understood the hate for Josh. Beyond being a nonfunctional alcoholic, the only reasons people gave for hating him were a few of the stories he'd tell while blackout drunk, which seem hard to take at face value given the state he was in as well as his desperation to seem edgy. Him telling some random story about running over a baby bird, probably in a drunken attempt to seem cool according to his retarded boglim logic, hardly seems like it warrants sending him duster.

Love those boys greatly, but I also enjoy smiling friends. Last night's was kinda mixed silly Samuel was eh and the boss and Alan was just references the end gag of the inspector being an apparition was funny though and it recontextualizes why he knocked the hole in the wall to show them the dead guy he knew he was there

less autistic people love bullying more autistic people because it is how they learned to interface with their world

chris chan is so popular because mild autists see the worst of themselves in him

I liked the new episode, much better start than S2 but it was kind of the opposite of the format they usually do where a weak episode is leading up to a split second cut off joke at the credits that is funny. This episode was funny but ended like a wet fart, the Silly Samuel jokes were good throughout but the ending was a cop out, they were never leading into a joke, it was just nonsense.

The vast majority of the time the state leaves these people to stew in their own filth. They only really step in if it starts impacting their neighbors or can potentially impact their neighbors.

My dad is basically Chris Chan and my mom was basically Barb so I actually feel a lot of sympathy for Chris these days. I also think he was pretty much groomed by Barb into doing it with him and he was too simple to really evaluate what was going on and I base that off my own experiences. Chris is what I would be if i were dumber
