Chris Lyons, better known as [https://web.archive.org/web/20120825220550/http://www.chriddof.com/index.html '''Chriddof''',] is an English avant-gardist who specializes in absurdism, although he'll periodically delve into surrealism when he feels like being serious. He's best known for his bizarre [[Archive Panic|and rather lengthy]] [http://www.youtube.com/user/fizzymilk1989 filmography,] but he also [http://tindeck.com/users/Chriddof composes], [http://thegoldenageofthelowcountries.blogspot.com writes], [https://web.archive.org/web/20190713090432/http://myheavensineverknewthat.smackjeeves.com/and/ draws], [https://web.archive.org/web/20120528202135/http://chriddof.tumblr.com/ and other things.]

=== This body of work provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Abridged Series]]: Of an old American show called "Sally Sargent," which never went past the rather short pilot.
* [[Acceptable Targets]]: [[Margaret Thatcher]], Jeremy Kyle, and Thames (an old television station) are common whipping boys, but others appear as well.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Broken Record]]: Occasionally overlaps with [[Madness Mantra]].
* [[Call Back]]: Chriddof will sometimes revisit his old stuff for new films, for example, "Sin" wound up being reworked as part of "Best Cat Flavour," and "Prague" featured elements from both "Automated Alarm" and "Some Fatalities."
* [[Creator in In-Joke]]
* [[Cringe Comedy]]
* [[Dada Ad]]
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
* [[Minimalism]]: A recurring tactic, be it musically ("Safely Remove Parasites And Their Eggs," "Shitting in the 1940s") as a filmmaker ("We Kept Driving" his loop-based films) or as a graphic designer.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: From "Alienating Eyes:"
{{quote| "Yes, I realise that. But when she cut off his penis, two more grew in its place, and when she cut those off, four more grew in their place, and then she cut those off, and by the time she was discovered he had a bush of penises."}}
* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: His song "Jessie J - Price Tag." While the video was disguised as an upload of Jessie J's new single (complete with artwork), the song itself is built on a creepy violin loop and an old video discussing table manners. When it got on "The Cartoon Cat Did Not Know How to Help Him," however, its name was changed to "Gruesome Sights Or Sounds."
* [[Parody Religion]]: Vvvism.
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcEqKad_8cI The Chriddof Force VHS Trailer]
* [[Shout -Out]]: Homages and salutes are par for the course, be they to old television shows and comics or rather obscure bands.
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]
* [[Station Ident]]: A recurring subject of jokes.
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* [[Word Salad Title]]: A lot of things, but most notably: his writing blog, which has gone under such names as "It Never Agreed With Me," "Lemnopraty," "Making Car Noises Very Loudly At 3 AM," "Urine Attack" and "The Golden Age of the Low Countries."
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: "Cat Sliding Across Screen."
* [[YoutubeYouTube Poop]]: He has made video remixes that, including his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJMadhEhIUI Saved By] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-ZWIQf4axA The Bell] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRuc_PKJyuk Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy] videos, fit right in with the usual concept of [[YoutubeYouTube Poop]]. He is also widely popular among [[YouTube]] Poopers.
