Youngest brother of [[Sandi Griffin]], with greyish hair and [[Sam Griffin|Sam]] as the middle brother. Described in [[The Daria Database]] as: "10 ''student, brat''. Likes to pound his brother back, pick at scabs (anyone's) and watch things drop. Plans to someday marry [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]]."
 
In every appearance, Chris is an uncontrollable, spoiled jerk who enjoys making his sister suffer (including leaving her outside to freeze in "[[Daria Dance Party]]"), mouthing off to people, and having fights with Sam. In "[[Fair Enough]]", he and Sam enjoyed physically assaulting people at random, and "Dance Party" shows a younger Chris and Sam destroying their sister's creations for the sheer delight of it.
 
In contrast, he's ''very'' nice to Quinn in "[[Gifted]]".
 
[[Linda Griffin]] and [[Tom Griffin]] never really bother to do anything, beyond a feeble "uh, kids, come back here" from Tom in "Fair Enough". (In "Dance Party", Linda looks somewhat ''amused'' by Sandi's predicament.)
 
==Chris Griffin in Fanfiction==
Chris and Sam both appear as the main characters in [[Wouter]]'s comic "[[Through a Webcam Lens Darkly]]" where he's shown to be the smarter of the two, having hooked up a camera phone so they could spy on Quinn from her own room ( A plan that failed when the phone ended up in Daria's room instead) Chris is also shown to be the more literate of the two, using a wider vocabulary than Sam and (disturbingly) having a wide knowledge of the Fashion club rules. Stating that Daria's tighty-whiteys are a definite Fashion-don't.
 
==Name Origins==
Sam and Chris Griffin are named for [[Sam Johnson]] and [[Chris Marcil]], who wrote the following episodes: "College Bored," "The Big House," "The New Kid," "Depth Takes a Holiday," and "Speedtrapped."
 
==Conjecture==
 
Chris Griffin's name predates the popularity of the Seth McFarlaneMacFarlane animated comedy ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Guy Family Guy]''., where Thethe teenage son of Peter Griffin in ''Family Guy'' is named Chris Griffin. Sandi Griffin's younger brother might be given a different name if the show were created today, or at least some reference would be made to his sharing a name with a cartoon character -- particular one like the ''Family Guy'' Chris Griffin, who is portrayed as an overweight moron.
