'''''Chad Vader''''' is the younger brother of the more famous Darth Vader. Due to not being quite as authoritative and charismatic as his sibling, instead of conquering the galaxies, Chad works as the day shift manager at Empire Market, a grocery store in America. The show follows Chad's daily life trying to get along with his co-workers, who consider him a rather rude fellow, possibly due to his strange voice and his habit of force-choking those who annoy him.
 
The series originated and gained fame on [[Channel 101]], where it was cancelled by the Cinespace audience after two episodes. The creators then decided to move it to other venues such as [[YouTube]] and [[My SpaceMyspace]]. The clips hold a quality level clearly above what one can expect on Youtube, with good action and overarching story lines. It also sports a wide cast of talented actors. The series currently consists of the first season, featuring eight episodes, the second season, featuring eleven episodes, and the third season, featuring ten episodes. Chad also has a six-episode series of educational videos for improving your mastery of the grocery store clerk calling.
 
The series is produced by Blame Society Productions, an enterprise consisting of Aaron Yonda and Matt Sloan, which has also made a wide variety of other clips that can be found on their [http://www.youtube.com/user/blamesocietyfilms YouTube channel] or on their [https://web.archive.org/web/20131106083726/http://www.blamesociety.net/index.php official homepage]. He was also a [http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax/star-wars-episode-ii-attack-clones guest riffer] for [[Riff Trax]] for ''[[Attack of the Clones|Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones]]'' and [http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax/star-wars-episode-v-empire-strikes-back Episode V:] ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''.
