* CerebusSyndrome: In his review of ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl'' High Boi theorises that Barbossa's crew were planning to keep Elizabeth Swan as a sex slave after they removed their curse [[PalmBloodletting (by cutting her hand]] before they resorted to [[SlashedThroat the other method)]]. This theory is not without merit mind you, the crew in question canonically enjoyed [[RapePillageAndBurn these kind of activities]] and even used it as a thinly veiled threat if Swan didn't dine with the captain.

* EnragedByIdiocy: One of the very few times where High Boi loses his cool is in the video on ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'', when Tom asks "So, what are we looking for?" when they get to the top of the building in San Francisco where Sonic's rings are. High Boi points out that Tom knew the whole time that Sonic was looking for a little bag of rings, and that it was the only other thing on the roof.

* MotorMouth: High Boi speaks very quickly in every video. Exaggerated in the video on ''Film/KnivesOut'', where he explains that he digitally sped up the video because there was a lot of ground to cover due to the movie's complicated plot.


Added DiffLines:

* SacredCow: InUniverse, ''WesternAnimation/WallE''. While there are a few flaws in the movie's logic that High Boi points out, he still loves it so much that it's the only movie that he has given a genuine rating, instead of his usual IdiosyncraticRatingsScale. The rating is 10 out of 10. He says that anyone who hates the movie "can suck a dick."

Added DiffLines:

* IdiosyncraticRatingsScale: High Boi uses a different rating scale for each video, most of which use different nouns relating to the movie in place of stars. ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' is perhaps the only movie that he used a normal rating scale for (he gave it a 10 out of 10.)

* MST3KMantra: [[invoked]] Whenever High Boi gets caught up in questioning a movie's logic, he snaps out of it by saying "whatever" or something to that effect.
* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Sometimes the subtitles use wrong words that are pronounced the same as what High Boi is saying. For example, in the ''Inception'' video, the subtitles describe Leonardo's character as "peaking" when High Boi means "peeking."
