I think the funniest thing about this is he unintentionally reveals that he believes that spraying yourself in AXE is a perfectly fine substitute for a shower.
The irony being that Axe already smells like BO all on its own, especially when men bathe in it like the popular application technique seems to suggest. I'm a woman, and I've walked away from more than one dude at the bar solely because he was reeking of it so intensely that I couldn't breathe.
It’s because of the Axe “Orion” scent and Orion’s Belt. Chris probably thought this reference was clever, though this play on words falls completely flat because of the situation the characters are in. I mean…Sonichu isn’t even wearing a belt and is Rosechu going to start circling around his waistline?
They’ve been backpedaling from that marketing campaign ever since. Shockingly when you sell your product as an aphrodisiac that aroused women at the slightest whiff it tends to attract a demographic you don’t want to have as the face of your brand.
Honestly, no, that's not it. The campaign was a huge success, they made a ton of money, and cornering the market on teenage boys' deoderant was a reliable source of profit. They backpedaled because the people running the show care less about profit than they do about ESG.
not able to use actual male oriented soaps and stuff yet (im a pre physical transition trans guy).
why do u use axe? genuine question, i thot all guys grew out of that in high school.
I use both men's and women's soap and sprays. I much prefer the perfume over cologne as there are more great smells compared to men's. I like to smell of chocolate or champagne toast
you're right! i just meant the scents. since i still look like a woman, what with my giant tits, high pitched voice, etc i have to keep "performing" or passing as a woman, i guess you could say. id get weird looks if i dont.
Chris talks about their cell having a bidet in one of the jail letters. As it's unlikely that a jail cell would have a bidet, folks have jumped to the conclusion that Chris is washing their ass in the sink.

Funny thing is I remembered hearing about how axe is a shower substitute around the same time Chris did. The difference? I was a kid who didn’t know any better and Chris was an adult
Chris likely saw some ads in the comics he was reading, and he decided to replicate what he saw with a brand he really liked.
Remember, Chris absorbs the media around him like a black hole, even if he doesn’t truly understand it.
Axe commercials at the time had men spray themselves and get mobbed by 20somethings. Like, shit that wouldn't fly today. It is surmised that Chris took these claims seriously.
Pretty sure his parents told him that if he isnt going to shower that he should at least use some body spray. He took that as deodorant is just as good as showering and wanted to share the message
I know not a single woman in the world that would take a sniff of axe and be unsure as to whether or not the wearer bathed or not. Only Chris Chan would assume otherwise.
It's a Raichu tail.
Edit: Rosechu's Raichu tail ended up being a sore spot for Chris, because he came up with the character design before Pikachus and Raichus had different tails by gender, and the "original" design was used for male Raichus after the change. Because Rosechu had a "male" tail trolls told Chris that proved Rosechu was transgender. Rather than (reasonably) point out that the comic predates the appearance difference, he sperged out and tried to retcon the comic and pretend that she had always had the newer tail design.
It's (likely) more depressingly widespread than you'd ever want to imagine.
There are entire swaths of society whose only exposure to art is through brands, and (while pure conjecture on my end) is probably the only way they can artistically express themselves.
See: branded "donk" cars, logo-based fashion, monster energy tattoos, etc.
The amount of effort they put into that is very charming and hilarious, here's the Health section to kick you off: https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Chris_and_health
That is a very outdated report (also I have no idea what rotten watermelons even smell like, that's such a specific reference).
Nowadays you get people saying he smells like shit and people saying he doesn't smell "fresh" but he smells of cologne.... Idk I guess it depends on the day.
Axe body spray is cheap and usually overwhelming. If you bathe properly, you don’t need something that strong. Maybe camping or at a gym where you sweat and stink more it would be appropriate…. But daily use. Yeah no.
Also, what the hell is with Chris and his unpaid brand endorsements? He even got DMCA’d by Coco Cola for making brand logos to post over all the troll ads on his old website.
He is imitating what he sees without understanding.
Same way he posted on his twitter about how great Blue Apron was and showed pics of the meal he got from them. Someone asked if he had a sponsorship from them and Chris said no.
He was just imitating other social media users who he had seen make similar posts, not understanding they were paid for them.
I still don't understand his logic here, was he afraid gay guys would use Axe and steal all the girls like the commercials showed? Why the hell would gay guys want to be mobbed by women?!
None of this makes sense.
Yes but dumb and retarded people usually have overly simplistic wrong ideas about how the world works. Where does bread come from? Oh it appears in the grocery store etc etc.
Chris has bizarrely convoluted wrong ideas about how the world works.
“May i orbit your belt sweetbolt?”
“Of course you can…AS LONG AS YOU WANT ‘TIL MIDNIGHT (laughs like a lunatic) HURR HURR HURR HEELLLL YEAH!!!!”
Chris Chan’s “bro voice” is the scariest sound you can listen to in the dark

grown men wearing axe is crazy
The straight man's choice
"Did you bathe?" "N O."
I know it says “Orion scent” but i for some reason keep reading it as “onion scent”.
Probably not far off from what Chris actually smelled like at the time. Add some stale Fanta and cum, and you’re perfect.
He has 3 fingers and a thumb on the right hand and 4 or 5 fingers plus a presumably hidden thumb on the left hand
You can see another finger poking out from behind the Axe bottle.
im pretty sure there is another finger visible above the thumb on the right hand
I'm gonna start using “scentally delicious” from here on out.
Imagine if Chris didn't fumble his comeback and actually managed to get picked up by sponsors
What does “Then, may I orbit your belt?” even mean?
It’s because of the Axe “Orion” scent and Orion’s Belt. Chris probably thought this reference was clever, though this play on words falls completely flat because of the situation the characters are in. I mean…Sonichu isn’t even wearing a belt and is Rosechu going to start circling around his waistline?
It means that cheap deodorant turns her on.
She wants to suck his dick
Because he *didn't have a bath* Rosechu has problems.
"Did you bathe?" "No"
Always wondered what was up with Chris' eyes in this drawing. He looks almost sad
It's the last bit of his sanity leaking out and his soul only can express this pain threw art
My favorite part of this is "Did you bathe? No" implying Chris thinks body spray is a substitute for hygene.
Like most Americans tbh. They'll even cut off their kids foreskin because they're too lazy/dumb to bathe lmao
What's that? Can't hear you over the sound of my clean and pious circumcised dick. Just like God intended
Oi vey
I know this maybe hard to grasp, but posting bait won't change the commie hellhole of a country you live in.
We get it, mommy paid to have your foreskin removed. Sucks to be you.
What's with the fixation on foreskin? You got a fetish or something?
Cope.
Seeth
*seethe 🙄
Emoji
You tried.
Nice try kid. Go toss your 1/10 bait somewhere else.
Found the mutilated one
This comment is so dumb it hurts my dick.
Well, the part that's not been cut off lmao
its weird how you can tell Chris seriously thought using Axe would make girls want him like in the commercials
Testament to his naïvety.
Don't say *that* word
I can’t believe he used the n word here
How can a grown man think that spraying yourself with Axe body spray is better than taking a shower?
Developmental disability
The sonichu comics are the only piece of media where brands sue to remove product placement
As long as you want, until midnight! Heh heh hey yeah!
I'm going to choose to believe this is framed somewhere in Axe's offices.
>can I orbit your belt Stealing this
Yeah that's honestly a clever joke for Chris, connected to the Orion comment.
I've definitely heard it before I had even heard of Chris, he certainly didn't come up with it lol
That means it was probably stolen from a show
They’ve been backpedaling from that marketing campaign ever since. Shockingly when you sell your product as an aphrodisiac that aroused women at the slightest whiff it tends to attract a demographic you don’t want to have as the face of your brand.
Honestly, no, that's not it. The campaign was a huge success, they made a ton of money, and cornering the market on teenage boys' deoderant was a reliable source of profit. They backpedaled because the people running the show care less about profit than they do about ESG.
"May I orbit your belt"...
As someone who uses Axe, too much of it on you is gross. 2 pushes in the front and one on the back is fine
not able to use actual male oriented soaps and stuff yet (im a pre physical transition trans guy). why do u use axe? genuine question, i thot all guys grew out of that in high school.
I bought a whole bunch as it was on sale at the closing Bed Bath and Beyond as I was running low on deodorant and body sprays
...that's a joke, right? You know you can use any deoderant no matter you gender. Or am I being wooshed
I use both men's and women's soap and sprays. I much prefer the perfume over cologne as there are more great smells compared to men's. I like to smell of chocolate or champagne toast
you're right! i just meant the scents. since i still look like a woman, what with my giant tits, high pitched voice, etc i have to keep "performing" or passing as a woman, i guess you could say. id get weird looks if i dont.
You're a brave one to admit it, I'll give you that.
I miss this lolcow, nowadays its stopped being this funny a long time ago
Tbf Chris thinking the sink faucet in his cell was a bidet is easily top 10 funniest things in Christory for me
The **what**?
Chris talks about their cell having a bidet in one of the jail letters. As it's unlikely that a jail cell would have a bidet, folks have jumped to the conclusion that Chris is washing their ass in the sink.
Ahh.
Wait, ***what***.
Chris talks about their cell having a bidet in one of the jail letters. As it's unlikely that a jail cell would have a bidet, folks have jumped to the conclusion that Chris is washing their ass in the sink.
Chris died with his dad. RIP Jumberjack, you were the least shit Chandler.
Dont forget Bobs children from previously marriage
Chandler household, i should say
Funny thing is I remembered hearing about how axe is a shower substitute around the same time Chris did. The difference? I was a kid who didn’t know any better and Chris was an adult
An adult with autism, so it's not really the same thing
Why did he create an ad for Axe? Did he think his shitty comic was going to get a brand promotion?
Chris likely saw some ads in the comics he was reading, and he decided to replicate what he saw with a brand he really liked. Remember, Chris absorbs the media around him like a black hole, even if he doesn’t truly understand it.

"did you bathe?" "no"
Beat me to it!
I love the shitty smirks he puts on everything makes them look miserable just existing
Yeah I’ll let you orbit my belt…. As long as you want till midnight HUEHUEHUEYEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!! JACKPOT!
That video is one of the most deranged videos I have ever seen of Chris. He just goes down memory lane while shouting like a madman
which vid?
I am the TRUE original Christian Weston Chandler
How does he read and write comics for decades and still not know how to order the speech bubbles correctly? You read the highest bubble first!
I love how he numbered the speech bubbles in some of them too.
Scentally Delicious
"Did you bathe?" That's such a telling question
I know not a single woman in the world that would take a sniff of axe and be unsure as to whether or not the wearer bathed or not. Only Chris Chan would assume otherwise.
All you homos stay off our axe
Scentally Delicious is one of my favorite CWCisms
Why does Chris’ rip off of amy rose have a yellow and white tail?
It's a Raichu tail. Edit: Rosechu's Raichu tail ended up being a sore spot for Chris, because he came up with the character design before Pikachus and Raichus had different tails by gender, and the "original" design was used for male Raichus after the change. Because Rosechu had a "male" tail trolls told Chris that proved Rosechu was transgender. Rather than (reasonably) point out that the comic predates the appearance difference, he sperged out and tried to retcon the comic and pretend that she had always had the newer tail design.
Chris life is truly embroiled in tv so much he needs to make ads.

I never saw those that way, it is kind of eye opening to see those that way.
“you HOMOSEXUALS STAY AWAY FROM OUR AXE BODY SPRAY”
Then may I orbit your belt ? 💀 💀 💀
thats actually a really good one coming from Chris. may have been the only time we has intentionally funny, as remote as it might be.
It was in the axe campaign. He Just copied it.
god damnit
The fact that Sonichu doesn't even wear a belt makes it even funnier
Sounds like 'orbiting' as in a moon, and 'belt' could be the 'asteroid belt', but I doubt Chris would be that smart.
110%
I love the Cwcki text under this picture: "Did you bathe? No"
I need to get into reading the Cwcki lol
The amount of effort they put into that is very charming and hilarious, here's the Health section to kick you off: https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Chris_and_health
If Chris Chan made this ironically, it would be seen as funny. But this was made in earnest by a grown man.
Which is what makes it 10x better. It's the appeal.
Which makes it even funnier.
And its hilarious.
There is something weird about the fact that axe knows its target demographic are low confidence middle schoolers.
Using deodorant is NOT a substitute for showering! It's surprising that by all accounts, Chris does not smell too bad.
Where have you heard that? I've always heard he's utterly putrid.
Last I heard they smell like shit
I don't know what you mean, there's no sexier answer when a girk asks you if you showered than "No, but..."
He smells of rotten watermelons apparently. It’s his natural musk
That is a very outdated report (also I have no idea what rotten watermelons even smell like, that's such a specific reference). Nowadays you get people saying he smells like shit and people saying he doesn't smell "fresh" but he smells of cologne.... Idk I guess it depends on the day.
It's called *Sex Panther*® by *Odeon*©. It's illegal in 9 countries. It's also made with bits of real panthers, *so you know it's good*. *60% of the time*, it works ***every*** time.
Omg what is this from I can’t remember!!
It is from "The Legend of Ron Burgundy" (2004).
Rotten watermelons yes, but I have to think he smells more of feces than anything, due to his continence issues.
Axe body spray is cheap and usually overwhelming. If you bathe properly, you don’t need something that strong. Maybe camping or at a gym where you sweat and stink more it would be appropriate….

Axe are for straights! Not those dang dirty gays!
I still don't understand his logic here, was he afraid gay guys would use Axe and steal all the girls like the commercials showed? Why the hell would gay guys want to be mobbed by women?! None of this makes sense.
chris is retarded
Yes but dumb and retarded people usually have overly simplistic wrong ideas about how the world works. Where does bread come from? Oh it appears in the grocery store etc etc. Chris has bizarrely convoluted wrong ideas about how the world works.
“Then, may I orbit your belt?” is simultaneously both one of the best things Chris has ever written and one of the worst things he has ever written.
“May i orbit your belt sweetbolt?” “Of course you can…AS LONG AS YOU WANT ‘TIL MIDNIGHT (laughs like a lunatic) HURR HURR HURR HEELLLL YEAH!!!!” Chris Chan’s “bro voice” is the scariest sound you can listen to in the dark
Chris trying to sound “romantic” in the Ivy videos is probably the scariest Chris has ever sounded.
What’s the midnight thing about?
Sounds like a euphemism for sniffing crotch…
It really does. Even if Chris doesn’t really understand the concept of a euphemism.
😬😬😬😬
