!! Cheeki Breeki Tropes:
* TheAlcoholic: Well yeah, did you expect anything different from a proper Slav? This comes out the most during his cooking videos where he has ready access to various types of booze.
* CloudCuckooLander: Boris himself from time to time, but his cousin Anatoli near ''all'' the time.
* TheFaceless: Boris and Anatoli both wear very concealing headgear that makes seeing their faces impossible.
* ForeignCussWord: Boris' first language isn't English, so he's prone to dropping these from time to time.
* RedBaron: Boris has a few self styled ones such as "The Slav Superstar", and "The Shashlik King".
* SitcomArchnemesis: Boris' neighbor Vadim, mostly due to him stealing Boris' mail and one time mailing him what looked like a huge stack of cash [[YankTheDogsChain but turned out to be novelty napkins.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Ask the man himself and he'll tell you that he's a Slavic Superman who was born in Chernobyl Reactor 4 and who is practically the be all end all of everything slav. This aspect of his character becomes very clear during his travel videos where he tries to make it seem like he's a travelling superstar when he's clearly not given that treatment.
* SupremeChef: He's surprisingly good at making Slavic dishes, even having the skill and patience to make his own loaves of black bread which anyone will tell you is a ''very'' involved process.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: ''Mayonez''. Boris absolutely ''adores'' the stuff, even using as a topping when he really shouldn't. He's not particularly fond of the Japanese or American variants though. To a lesser extent, he's quite fond of Shashlik even becoming vastly disappointed during some of his travel videos if he fails to get any.
