Years back, there was a discussion on poetv.com about whether Chris Chan was legitimately who he claimed to be on the internet. Someone asserted that Chris Chan could secretly be a comedy character, and that we all may end up looking like fools when Chris reveals he's not actually an autistic on a sweetheart quest. There were plenty of actual suspicions that led to multiple individuals arriving at this. Sonichu seemed a little over the top, like it was supposed to grab your attention. The medallion was so ridiculous that it seemed like it was an intentional joke. Chris references intelligent comedy like Monty Python and even successfully Rickrolled his unwitting audience. I think it might have been that some people preferred to deny that Chris was a real person, so they decided he might be a modern day Andy Kaufman. It's like they thought, "Maybe Chris is the invention of bored college students and they made the videos for laughs and internet fame." The Magic potion video and Rollin' and Trollin' definitely furthered suspicions of this sort. Some of Chris's really outlandish stunts like semen Fanta guzzling and dick popsicle raised eyebrows about whether or not Chris was a comedy "bit" or a human being.
So I wanted to ask the rest of you here, at any point in your own observations of Chris, did you ever suspect that he might be a troll pulling the strings of his massive audience? Do you still suspect that he is orchestrating all of the sagas for our amusement? Was there ever a moment where Chris caught you so off guard that you weren't sure if he was messing with you on purpose? I'll even admit it myself: The Rollin' and Trollin' video had me about halfway convinced that Chris Chan was actually the next Will Ferrell.
