''He, Himself, and Him'' is a Website/YouTube series by [=MrChrisMad=] involving time travel. The story "begins" when Chris Mad must complete a history project. Because of his lack of work ethic, he fails in timelines A and B, [[spoiler:but somehow succeeds in timeline C]]. In timeline B, he comes across plans for a time machine early the next morning [[spoiler:(they were planted there by Chris C)]] and tries to go back in time to stop himself from procrastinating. He instead gets stuck in timeline A indefinitely.

Meanwhile, a mysterious being known only as The Collector is traveling between timelines [[spoiler:capturing various incarnations of Chris Mad to absorb their powers]]. Chris C must stop him.

There are 25 episodes so far and a short film is planned. There's a list of all 25 episodes and a few of the trailers [[http://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/4962/ here]].

!Provides examples of:
* ActingForTwo: Out of the eight or more incarnations of Chris Mad, six have appeared so far (and three are major characters.) They're all played by the same guy, so this happens a lot. This is once lampshaded by Chris B:
->"Anyway, I'm already good at talking to myself."
* AuthorAvatar: Chris A is most likely one.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Chris D's hunger for power leads to the collector being able to track him down ''much'' more easily.
* BadFuture: Chris E lives in one.
* BarrierWarrior: Chris C, when he actually needs to fight something.
* CastingAShadow: Chris D's main power.
* CombatClairvoyance: Chris E's main power.
* GadgetWatch: Chris C has one. [[spoiler:He buys it from Chris A in episode 8, but, at the time, it isn't quite a gadget watch yet.]]
* LaymansTerms: When Chris C explains the mechanics of time travel to Chris A, he uses this trope.
* InMediasRes: Employed even more extensively than you'd expect from a time travel series.
* MasterOfDisguise: That mysterious "Cone" that keeps showing up? It's [[spoiler:The Collector]] in disguise.
* MeaningfulName: Chris C can travel through time, Chris D controls darkness, Chris E can predict the immediate future, and the Collector [[spoiler:[[MegaManning collects people's powers]]]].
* ObviouslyEvil: The Collector
** Also, EvilSoundsDeep.
* OminousMessageFromTheFuture: The mysterious video messages C has been receiving may be this
* PowerCopying: The ''Mega Man'' variety is how [[spoiler:The Collector]] gets most of his powers.
* TableSpace: How Chris A discovers (in the opening scene of episode 6) that his encounter with himself [Chris B] the night before [[SubvertedTrope wasn't]] AllJustADream.
** [[FridgeLogic To think he usually has a table that size to himself...]]
* TemporalParadox: [[spoiler:The Collector]] is revealed to be one in episode 25. [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] by Chris C.
* TimeMaster: Downplayed with Chris C. He does have extensive time travel capabilities, but there's no evidence that he has full control over time.
** Just WMG/{{WMG}} here, but The Collector ''could'' be a full TimeMaster.
* TimeTravel: A major part of the story, and Chris C's main power.
** {{Alternate Continuity}}s: [[spoiler:Eight]] of them. Two (or maybe three) count as {{Alternate Timeline}}s, based on the story so far.
*** TimeyWimeyBall: Time, as explained in episode 19, isn't one line, but many. The main story is about what happens when these lines cross.
* TheSmartGuy: Chris C. [[spoiler: In episode 25, The Collector [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]], and then promptly [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructs]], this.]]
