3Michelle Lyons, formerly known as [[https://linktr.ee/Chriddof Chriddof]], is an English avant-gardist who specializes in absurdism, although she'll periodically delve into surrealism when she feels like being serious. She's best known for her bizarre [[ArchivePanic and rather lengthy]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/fizzymilk1989 filmography,]] but she also writes, composes, and draws.
4
5Common themes in her work include politics, religion, the human body, analog media, English history and existentialism.

10----
11!!This body of work provides examples of:
12
13* AbridgedSeries: Of an old American show called "Sally Sargent" that never went past a short pilot.
14* AffectionateParody: Of everything from Don Hertzfeldt to The Caretaker.
15* AntiHumor
16* {{Beat}}[=/=]BeatPanel
17* BodyHorror: Anything done on Daz Studio.
18* BrokenRecord: Occasionally overlaps with MadnessMantra.
19* CallBack: Michelle would sometimes revisit her 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."
20* CreatorInJoke
21* CreepyMonotone
22* CringeComedy
23* DadaAd
24* DadaComics
25* {{Deconstruction}}: She's got a few of these under her belt. Pop and dance are common targets, with such things as "99," "The Current #1," "Lets Everybody Have A Real Good Time," (off ''Mrs Egg'') and "(Everybody) Shit To The Beat."
26* DerangedAnimation
27* HarshNoise
28* HighPressureBlood
29* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: A recurring gag.
30* LoveAtFirstSight: With someone whose face has just turned into an anus.
31* MadnessMantra: "''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aZolXmluzQ I'm walking around in a circle, and I'm walking around in a circle, and I'm walking around in a circle...]][[spoiler:and I can't get out!]]''"
32* MindScrew: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl6hHy0o8tw The Actual Title Of This Film Is Not The One Stated In The Film]]. Basically, an anti-film.
33* {{Minimalism}}: A recurring tactic, be it musically ("Safely Remove Parasites And Their Eggs," "Shitting in the 1940s"), as a filmmaker ("We Kept Driving", her loop-based films), or as a graphic designer.
34* MythologyGag: From "Alienating Eyes:"
35-->"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."
36* NonIndicativeName:
37** Applies to most of her videos. Whatever "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EllqhN04gwI breakfast at the sainsbury's cafe]]" is about, it's not about going to a supermarket to eat breakfast. To say nothing of complete [[WordSaladTitle word salad titles]] like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqPrMjq7dOY 1970 thalidomide bahamas]].
38** Her song "Jessie J - Price Tag." While the video was disguised as an upload of Music/JessieJ's then-new single (complete with artwork), the song itself is built on a creepy violin loop and an old video discussing table manners. When it was included on ''The Cartoon Cat Did Not Know How to Help Him,'' however, its name was changed to "Gruesome Sights Or Sounds."
39* ParodyReligion: Vvvism.
40* SelfDeprecation: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK-OTSjHFno The Chriddof Force VHS Trailer.]]
41* ShoutOut: Homages and salutes are par for the course, be they to old television shows and comics or rather obscure bands.
42* SoundtrackDissonance
43* StationIdent: A recurring subject of jokes.
44* StealthParody: An odd case; the "Stealth" portion doesn't come from "is this a parody," rather it's from "what's this even a parody of?!"
45* StealthPun
46* StickFigureAnimation
47* StuffBlowingUp
48** EverythingExplodesEnding
49* SurrealHorror
50* SurrealHumor
51* SyntheticVoiceActor: Michelle herself makes frequent use of text-to-speech programs.
52* TakeThat: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIRtHbVJGOQ This video,]] titled "John Lewis Xmas Advert 2013"
53** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmXbcs60sRA "mock yorkshire tv closedown late 1970s"]] is a pisstake directed at cwilliams1976, a Platform/{{YouTube}}r and creator of "mocks"[[note]]Essentially, homemade imaginary/fantasy TV presentation material for defunct or non-existent channels[[/note]] that are legendary for their general shoddiness and poor quality (and his outright refusal to describe them as anything other than real.)
54* TalkativeLoon: Much of her work is built around long, surreal rambles.
55* ToiletHumor: Some of her works dive into this, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SQMD5S7Ai4 WILL YOU THE TURD TODAY]], which features [[WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents Cosmo, Wanda, Timmy Turner, and Vicky]] discussing healthy bowel movements.
56* {{Vaporwave}}
57* WithLyrics: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-q2vXZduck Look At All The Animals]]" is the theme to Animal Hospital with lyrics about animals causing property damage.
58* WordSaladLyrics
59* WordSaladTitle: A lot of things, but most notably: her 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."
