* EvilTwin: [[ParodiedTrope Parodies this trope]] in his review of ''VideoGame/CrashTwinsanity'', a game which not only has two main antagonists who literally call themselves "The Evil Twins", but also has a character named [[EvilDoppelganger Evil Crash]], after complaining about how stupid the concept of the latter one is, Caddy gets visited by his evil twin brother named [[PunnyName Baddy]], who has [[BodyHorror his head literally upside-down]]. He's also a rather pleasant individual, politely leaving when asked in the ''The Painful World of Lego Games'' after delivering Caddy the eponymous bricks. Additionally, he becomes somewhat of a recurring character ever since.

* InformedFlaw: He has an EvilTwin named Baddy, but from what we're shown, the worst he does is acting mildly annoying and giving Caddy an innocent JumpScare by suddenly reappearing out of nowhere, coming off as a HarmlessVillain more than anything. Hell, he even [[PetTheDog gave him a Super Mario Lego set!]] This is likely intentional though, since Baddy is meant to parody the EvilTwin trope.

Jim Lazarus Caddick, better known by the pen name "Caddicarus", is a British Platform/YouTube personality who hosts a VideoReviewShow that reviews just about anything video-game related you can think of, though he has a strong affinity towards video games from and related to the Platform/PlayStation era of gaming. While he originally uploaded in-depth reviews of single games on a usually weekly basis, he switched to his current format of longer videos covering several different games of a similar category in 2020, which are the videos he is best known for.

* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: Starting with Season 11, he has abandoned the "slaughter or salvage" gimmick entirely, along with his starting and ending catchphrases. He has also largely stopped making the video titles goofy puns on the names, and has focused more on modern games over late 90s-early noughties games.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: During the introduction of his [[UsefulNotes/{{Kinect}} Kinect games]] review, he lists some events that happened in 2010, namely, the [=BP=] oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, an Irish boy wrongly accused of stealing €7,500 worth of bags of chips[[note]]namely what is referred to as "crisps" in British English, not French fries[[/note]], Creator/MelGibson leaving a voicemail filled with racial slurs, and Microsoft releasing the Kinect for the Xbox 360.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: [[invoked]] This is [[DiscussedTrope pointed out]] in his review of a game based on ''WesternAnimation/{{George of the Jungle|2007}}'': [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames a poorly-coded licensed game]], based on a relatively obscure and unprofitable flash cartoon that couldn't keep [[TheOtherDarrin the same voice actor for George for both seasons]] and was released for the UsefulNotes/Playstation2 at a time when the UsefulNotes/Playstation3 was already out for a year and a half. The game never would have sold no matter how good it might have been.

* SlutShaming: In ''the Insane World of Video Game Commercials'', Caddy angrily shoos out a [[UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance Game Boy Micro]] for its promiscuity after seeing an ad where one [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext gets humped by a lab mouse]].

** Lately, it appears to be {{Obvious Beta}}s, as addressed in the Tony Hawk glitch countdown and ''VideoGame/SpyroEnterTheDragonfly''.

* TakeAThirdOption: Near the end of his ''Destruction Derby 2'' review, Caddy feels that the game wasn't quite good enough to be salvaged, yet not terrible enough to be slaughtered. Thus, the "slauvage" was born. ''Quack Attack'', ''VideoGame/TheGrinch2000'', ''Rosco [=McQueen=]'', ''VideoGame/JawsUnleashed'', ''VideoGame/Rayman1'', 'Franchise/ToyStory Racer'', and ''VideoGame/CrashBandicootTheWrathOfCortex'' got the slauvage as well. He also tried to slauvage ''The Great Escape'' for being SoBadItsGood[[invoked]], but the game's brokenness had him laughing too hard to carry on with it.

** For ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer'', which Caddy feels suffers from both TheComputerIsACheatingBastard and SeinfeldIsUnfunny, instead of slaughtering or salvaging it, Caddy decides to put it back on his shelf due to the influence it had on gaming as a whole and for it being the first numbered PAL Playstation game.

* NoodleIncident: In ''The Simpsons: Tony Hoax Skateboarding'', Caddy tries to pick up his [=PS2=], and fails, noting that he "glued it to the Xbox."
