Perhaps it's worthy to make collections of Christof's funniest and/or most beautiful games later on, but anyway, I feel I need to start with this game published today, which is easily the most entertaining game of his that I've seen so far 
(the entire video is funny, though, especially its second game, because CE had drunk Pilsner Urquell prior).
Speaking of beauty, here's his recent game with an interesting positional sac.
Let me also remind you about a few more of his funny games that are on my mind:
Feel free to post your personal favourite videos of CE

I don't remember such a game 
In blitz #2304 posted above, he did hang a rook but didn't say that exact phrase...
I had put an incorrect link to really wild game 2 of the 3-Minute Madness - it started at 2:02, so early that it doesn't hurt to watch the video from the start anyway.

Here's another recent funky game:
'I'm used to that (being ignored in chess)'
Chris definitely needs to intake the Pilsner Urquell doping before each session - it will boost the popularity and profitability of his channel by much more than the fuel cost.
Edit: and here's one more brilliancy of this week:
'But before I'm celebrating, I should find the mate first'

Game 3 of the increment blitz match vs GM Huschenbeth (here's Niclas's commentary on the same game, start them simultaneously in different tabs if you want to sync them) was pretty spectacular, one of the cases when the Sämisch Nimzo-Indian went well for White
