* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Whenever he's the CEO of a company, profit comes first, employee wellbeing comes last.



* HumanCannonball: In ''Planet Coaster'', he builds a human shotgun using a very fast rollercoaster.

* HumanCannonball: In ''Planet Coaster'', he builds a human shotgun using a EarthShatteringKaboom: At the end of ''Astroneer'', Josh litters the entire starting planet with dynamite, and sets them off. We don't know the end result (as it predictably crashes the game), but the fact the entire screen flashes to white implies the explosion engulfed the entire planet (especially since Josh wanted to survive this time, and went very fast rollercoaster.

Added DiffLines:

* StarScraper: One of Josh's favorite limits to break is "Is there a limit to how high it can get?". As such, in ''Foundation'' he tries to build a church so high it's never visible entirely, even when far beyond the map, but has to cancel it because it destroys his fps. Or rather, he tries to cancel it, which triggers a [[GameBreakingBug game crash]]. So, he settles for "mere" skyscrapers.


Added DiffLines:

* YankTheDogsChain: Happens a lot, especially when dealing with Grace.
** In ''Foundation'', he witholds giving his citizen houses for almost the whole videos, but finally caves in and gives them plots... on an island on the other side of the river. So he builds a bridge... that crosses the island, but doesn't actually stop in it. So he builds a whole maze of bridges, spanning the entire map. None of which actually go to the right island. Finally, he decides to build a bridge that goes there for real... but not before burying the island in a maze of gates. But at last they can reach their plots and build a house!... Or at least before Josh decides to bury them with even more gates.

* AxCrazy: In ''Founder's Fortune'', the first reflex Josh has to any merchant and most migrants is to murder them. By the end of the video, there is an entire shed full of dead bodies.



* BloodKnight: In ''Founder's Fortune'', Nathaniel seems outright delighted by the prospect of killing people once on the archery tower.



** [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in ''King of Retail'' where Josh takes on a quest to see how deep in the red he can go, and gets a debt of over one million dollars.



* KnifeNut: Thanks to the use of HelloInsertNameHere, ''everyone'' becomes this in ''Dwarrows'' To behold: he names the 3 main characters "Thrustmaster" (he wanted to originally name him "Sir Stabs-a-lot" but it didn't fit), "Dr. Shiv" and "Ol' machete", and together, they build Stabsville, a "knifetopia".

** In ''Startup Company'', he manages to make so much money that he can just wholesale buy ''every major website on the internet.''



* HorrifyingTheHorror: It's only happened once or twice, but occasionally Josh will break a game ''so hard'' that it retaliates and causes this trope. The demonic jeep from ''Tank Mechanic Simulator'', for instance, began to freak out and ''attack him''.



* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Oh, in spades. From creating a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvEKky9N1tQ "theme park of perpetual torment"]] where rides are constantly crashing into park patrons, to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZIlyTGT8i8 building hospitals]] with virtually zero privacy and where doctors frequently commit medical malpractice, if Josh has the opportunity to do something terrible, he [[ComedicSociopathy will do it]] times 100.

[[HereWeGoAgain Oops, better luck next time...]]



* LethalChef: In Josh's ''Cooking Simulator'' videos, his dishes tend to be filled with things such as lethal amounts of oils, gasoline, and broken glass.

Here's a few name tropes.

Added DiffLines:

* HelloInsertNameHere: Games that allow this generally end up with combination of silly names, [[ButtMonkey NPCs renamed "Grace"]], and [[OverlyLongName names that are several paragraphs long]]. Examples of this include names such as "Johnny Hotbody" or "Chad Broski", or renaming France to "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM".
* KnifeNut: Thanks to the use of HelloInsertNameHere, ''everyone'' becomes this in ''Dwarrows'' To behold: he names the 3 main characters "Thrustmaster" (he wanted to originally name him "Sir Stabs-a-lot" but it didn't fit), "Dr. Shiv" and "Ol' machete", and together, they build Stabsville, a "knifetopia".


Added DiffLines:

* OverlyLongName: When there's no limit to how many characters can go in the name, Josh mercilessly exploits it:
** In ''Startup Company'', the name of Josh's CEO is Chad "[extremely long copypasta]" Broski. Every times the full name appears, it's so long, it doesn't even fit in the screen.
** In ''Satisfactory'', Josh names one of his train stations after some kind of rant that shots way past the name sign, causing text to float in midair.

** In ''Planet Zoo'', Josh purchases over 100 giraffes at once and places them in a very small exhibit, causing several of them to merge into a "giraffe hydra".



* RunningGag: Since there are a surprising number of characters in these games who happened to be named Grace, Josh will often play games in a way that causes some sort of torture of hardship for Grace.

* ArchEnemy: PlayedForLaughs. ArtifactTitle: The channel used to have another host named Anthony who left the channel in December of 2018. Since it's just Josh now, the "Let's" in the title doesn't make as much sense.
* BeyondTheImpossible: One of Josh's specialties. As elaborated below, Josh's favorite thing is to find the limits of the games he plays and then immediately break them. For example, in ''Smartphone Tycoon'', he ends up selling nearly ''5 '''billion''''' times more cellphones than there are ''people on Earth''.

Grace.
