* InSpiteOfANail: ''What if Texas lost its revolution?'' Easy answer: it couldn't have. No matter what divergence takes place, Texas would have not been able to remain a Mexican state (though he does mention the minor chance it being a rump state between its two nieghbors). He does tease the possibility of Texas surviving long enough to join the Confederacy in the Americna Civil War (which could bring Mexico into the fray...)

** He also often discusses AlternateHistory fiction, or {{Alternate Universe}}s of established fiction; such videos are tagged "[LORE]." He has covered ''Anime/AttackOnTitan'', ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', among others. The longest of these is his collaboration with [[https://www.youtube.com/user/EmperorTigerstar Emperor Tigerstar]], a 4-part series (still in progress as of August 2017) detailing Harry Turtledove's ''Literature/Timeline191'', rather than creating his own alternate history of a Confederate victory (which he'd already done in a previous video).

** Cody also often uses this to take various "stock" alternate history scenarios in different directions than what is usually focused on. For example, in his video on a Muslim victory at Tours, he rather quickly shuts down the notion that Europe would be wholly Islamized, or even that the Arabs would take over large parts of Europe, but he ''does'' focus on the wide-reaching consequences of an untimely death for Charlemagne, which would be a likely consequence of such a scenario.

* BlackAndGreyMorality: In one scenario, Cody explores what would have happened if Leon Trotsky had come to power after Lenin's death instead of Joseph Stalin. He points out that while Stalin and his policies were certainly terrible, [[NotSoDifferent Leon Trotsky was also a fanatic willing to kill for communist ideology]]. Cody concludes Leon Trotsky would have led the Soviet Union down that path of jingoism by spreading communist ideology everywhere through military action, potentially even triggering World War II by scaring the hell out of the West.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The video on the Armenian Genocide does not deal with alternate history, but rather to show why there really was a genocide of Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians in spite of Turkey's denial. The video is completely serious, with no humor or even music, fitting for the somber nature of the genocide.

* InSpiteOfANail: ''What if Texas lost its revolution?'' Easy answer: it couldn't have. No matter what divergence takes place, Texas would have become part of the United States.

* CrapsackWorld: One gradually comes into fruition in the four-parter "What if Germany Won World War II?" Assuming the best case scenario plays out for the Nazis, they successfully dominate Europe, transforming nations like Britain and France into puppet states. Poland, Ukraine, and most of Russia are assimilated by Germany, with ''[[FinalSolution over 50 million'' of their people dead]]'' as a result of the hunger plan, and the survivors either enslaved or "Germanized," their history and culture eradicated. Each generation born in Germany becomes more and more fanatical and xenophobic, sacrificing their individuality for the prosperity of the state, ready to kill and destroy their perceived enemies. The nations around the world now have to accept the existence of Nazi Germany, and thus fascism ends up playing a much larger and more pivotal role in shaping mankind's future.
