Having stated on several occasions that he is a fan of, and largely inspired by, horror writer Creator/HPLovecraft, Paul's videos are often surreal, confusing, and sometimes even downright creepy. Using a wide variety of characters (all played by himself) such as [[AffablyEvil Professor Clemmons]] and his brother, [[PlagueDoctor Corvus]], and wife, [[TheFaceless Margaret]], [[FishPeople Deep One Dave]], [[ManChild Charlie (Carl)]], [[RatedMForManly Iggy M. Manley]], and many more, Paul has created a deep and confusing narrative of multiple universes and dimensions, often leading to self-contradictions in the timeline.

** The series as a whole operates on this, as most episodes take place at some point in the future, but between whatever event caused a breakdown in society & the rise of the NWO banning things, the world became stagnant & still resembles the modern day- though due to the numerous time portals and dimensional rifts, the exact state of each Earth seen can vary somewhat.

* {{Crossover}}: Several mentioned with the Wiki/SCPFoundation due to the interdimensional nature of the rift itself. One video features SCP-049 rather than Corvus and some patients have been referred to as misplaced D-Class.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassBeard: Paul's distinctive beard comes and goes depending on the video, but when it's not shaved it sure as hell is badass.
