Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History

In a hundred years, people will use this as a benchmark. They'll praise something by saying it is "A 22nd Century Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History". And we were there. Were like those guys who picked up Einstein's book on release day or whatever. We're the guys who picked up Beethoven's CD the day he dropped it.

When the history of meme culture in the 2010s is written, the name Christian Weston Chandler will be wrought large throughout it. Despite the fact that he's one of the most trolled people in the history of the internet, he has nevertheless in a peverse way achieved his dream of making his Sonic rip-off, Sonichu a true phenomenon and has created the multimedia franchise he believed he could... just not how he pictured it. His effect on the Sonic fanbase has been profound.

This documentary by GenoSamuel is the definitive work on the Chris-Chan saga. An epic 22-part (at the time of writing) series of hour-long documentaries, taking you from the first moments of Chris-Chan's life right up to the present day, the effort which has gone into this is nothing short of superhuman. So much material has been produced by Chris and his, uh... fans, so it's hard for most mere mortals to keep up with it all and digest it. GenoSamuel has managed to condense it all into a highly watchable and entertaining series, and if anyone ever asks me what the Chris-Chan thing is all about, this is where I will send them.

I look forward to seeing what other documentaries will come from this talented producer.

This documentary truly surpassed my expectations, the amount of time and effort put into making it. This documentary is full of small details instead of telling whole story in few episodes which makes it very interesting and admirable.

Can't wait to see how this story will go on, but for now it stands on absolute top of these days documentaries.

10/10.

Given the almost impossible task of compiling every event in Chris-Chans life, GenoSamuel delivers a professional level documentary rivaling those you could watch on Netflix.

And it's completely free.

Chris Chan is arguably the most interesting man alive, and "Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History" highlights everything that makes his story so special, for good and for bad.

Chris Chan AKA Christian Weston Chandler, the most documented man in YouTube history, is presented to the audience, from childhood to modern day. This may sound like an all to common documentary. This ongoing series by Geno Samuel on YT is anything close to such. It's shocking, disturbing, saddening, and even at times rather humorous "perhaps unintentional" by the narrators ability to maintain himself while reading off the typed posts and emails of Chris Chan. It initially dives into Chris's early childhood, his creation of Sonichu "the fictional non canon electric Pokémon meant to be a mix of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokémon's Pikachu." and of course, his eventual attempts of finding a "boyfriend-free-girl". This leads to what has likely been the most massive ongoing troll job to this very day. Dive in to the first episode, and witness the decline of the self proclaimed high functioning autistic man, as you see virtually every aspect of his life through his texts, emails, drawings, and phone recordings. If you're like me, and so many others, you'll eventually ask yourself, much like Geno Samuel asks the audience in the into: "What keeps us fascinated?"
