MC Chris Reddit AMA notes: Tight Bros. not happening on Adult Swim, being sober, and constantly apologizing

MC Chris launched another Kickstarter campaign for his MC Chris Cartoon though this time for three times as much($230,000) as the first time around. As a result, he spent like 10 hours on Reddit hoping fans could help him fund it. Notes after the jump!

MC Chris has had a pretty rotten run of it lately as last year he was involved with that whole debacle over throwing his fan out and then ,probably because no one wants that bad press leading into a premier, everyone passed on his MC Chris cartoon. Well, this year he is trying again but with a different caveat…now he wants THREE TIMES the cost of the original MC Chris pilot in order to produce an episode entitled ‘Wild West Mars’. So, it makes sense that MC would do a Reddit AMA where fans and non fans alike(and there were a LOT) asked him all about his projects, staying sober, and other general BS. Evidently Chris has been sober for the past four months…why?:

i think reddit and the reassurance of my therapist. i was worried i would start drinking or kill myself but he suggested that i’d be ok and i started to believe him and he was right! i think i didn’t like what i saw when i looked back on my life. and i wanted to take another stab at it. with clear eyes.

Yep, Chris is no longer smoking pot and instead mentions that he would share hot dogs with his fans instead of joints, but in my opinion the hot dog sharing sounds a bit grosser. I mean, I just paid a bunch of money to see your show, now I gotta split my dinner? Damn…I was rather interested when Chris named ‘Young Carl’ from Aqua Teen as his favorite voice to play but it wasn’t long before Chris would begin to answer a littany of questions about how he threw one of his fans out of his show really for no good reason and then he would make a youtube video where he cried about it:

the incident actually made folks pack the shows and most folks seemed to be happy with the show. i hope you give it a chance this summer. i know my attitude sucked in the past and i’m working on it trying to do the right thing where i can, but i understand some of my actions were unforgivable. all i can ask is that you see a show and talk to me face to face and then cast judgement.

Evidently, Chris will have a hard time patching things up with the Penny Arcade which makes sense because he dicked out at the last minute for a PAX East show a couple years back.  The Reddit lasted for a while, but the one bit I thought was the most pertinent was when he finally gave a hard update on Tight Bros. saying i made a bunch of eps of show called tight bros with mf doom and that didn’t pan out.
