First and foremost, Sky is a comedian. His oldest videos are best described as video blogs and uploads of his live stand-up routines, but that was 2008. Since 2013, his channel has become a host for a few WebVideo series in its own right, and all of his videos are hosted on Website/YouTube. His series include LetsPlays, usually group ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' sessions or solo ones; comedy skits, unlike his stand-up routines; and advice and response videos, called "Skyalogues." He uses an organizing system in his thumbnails that tells his audience what kind of video to expect. Specifically, he uses colored clouds to differentiate between more serious or potentially offensive videos from the more fun and goofy ones.
Sky's LetsPlays are usually ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' play sessions with his roommates and other friends, but he has also done solo LetsPlay with ''VisualNovel/DreamDaddy'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey''. Friends include LetsPlay/VideoGameDunkey, Leah, Jesse, Mr. Deer and grzzd.
His advice and reaction videos -- as can be expected of a comedian -- double as comedy videos where he throws shade at certain types of video game players. These videos are what originally got his channel's popularity rolling, starting with his "5 Reasons Your [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Jungler]] Hates You" from his ''Reasons Why'' series. There's also the relatively short-lived series ''Games that are Out of Control'', which is heavily inspired by LetsPlay/VideoGameDunkey's content. He also has a few Q&A videos where his roommates and friends select questions that are addressed to Sky from Website/{{Reddit}} or Website/{{Twitter}}. However, the response videos can be much more serious, but it really depends on the subject matter and how personal it is. Videos concerning more serious topics -- addressed in Sky's comedic way -- are called Skyalogues (from his name and "dialogue"). These videos may cover some controversy or issue with Sky's channel. Whatever the subject, many of the jokes in his response videos rely on the medium of film and on audio editing.
His comedy skits are usually on some political topic, either making fun of both (or all) sides of the debate or trying to stay in a central position in order to open a dialogue by using his platform (his words). If there's a big controversy on [=YouTube=], then Sky might make a video about it. He's typically active on Website/{{Twitter}}, and that's generally where he talks about these controversies prior to making a video about them. Sometimes, he'll [[https://twitter.com/SkyWilliams/status/917969214887153664 "take a break from interaction"]] as he did on 10 October 2017, but he usually lets his audience know through Twitter first.

The other colors are based on a "rarity system" similar to what's found in Creator/{{Blizzard}} games. White is "common," blue "rare," purple "epic," and orange "legendary." In practice, they denote the amount of editing and effort put into the quality of the content, meaning that a "common" video might merely be a ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' session and a "legendary" video might be a full-blown comedy skit.

!! This show provides examples of:
* ADayInTheLimelight: After getting terribly mistreated in "Jesse's Master Plan," fans complained about how mean everyone has been getting toward Jesse. As a reaction to this, Sky and co. gave Jesse the spotlight and let him call all the shots in their ''League of Legends'' session -- where normally nobody would exactly "call the shots" -- in the video titled "Jesse's Game." Of course, he abused his new leadership role and put everyone in team roles they ''didn't'' enjoy. The group horribly lost their match.
* BerserkButton: Whenever Sky or someone else mentions the phrase "[[LetsPlay/VideoGameDunkey Dunkey]] beat Sky in [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Smash]]," Sky gets really ticked off and stops joking immediately.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Inverted. Sky is notably optimistic about his platform on [=YouTube=] and his audience and always takes full responsibility for problems related to his channel... even when it makes more sense not to.
* ButtMonkey: Jesse is usually treated as the butt of mean-but-friendly jokes. It came to a head in "Jesse's Master Plan" where he was treated so poorly that Sky's fans complained enough that ''the next video'' had Jesse as the all-star. In "Jesse's Game," he was made [[ADayInTheLimelight leader for a day]] as a direct result of the complaints.
* CampGay: In some videos, he portrays himself as particularly stereotypically gay. In other videos, he's admitted that he isn't normally so camp.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: In his thumbnails, there are colored clouds that mean different things. A black cloud means the video focuses on a dark subject matter.

* SelfDeprecation: This goes hand-in-hand with the inversion of BitingTheHandHumor, but it's especially seen in his "Pencils Down, Time's Up. The Decision." video, in which he calls himself crazy and calls himself kind of a bitch on Twitter.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Discussed in some of Sky's LetsPlays of ''League.'' After Mr. Deer (one of Sky's friends) starts training for his teaching certificate, Sky keeps asking him about scenarios where a student comes on to him. Mr. Deer, obviously, takes the questioning completely seriously.
* TokenWhite: Jesse is consistently treated like this in any video he's in, even when [[LetsPlay/VideoGameDunkey Jason]] or Leah are also in that video. He goes along with it, as he tries and fails to rap and pretends to be completely unaware of NWordPrivileges.
