* GoodBadBugs: Is not above using these to break a game. In one ''VideoGame/StardewValley'' video, he performed a (now patched) bug that let him infinitely clone items (in this case, a potato) to get tens of thousands of gold at the start of the game.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: In his victory speech for winning ''Game Of life 2'' he declares "This [his fabulous wealth] proves that anyone can make it with enough grit, determination ''and cheating''"

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Seems to emphasize making NPCs suffer in order to profit.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRHXUZ0BxbkU2MYZgsuFgkQ The Spiffing Brit]]'' is a British gaming [=YouTuber=] who specializes in showcasing and exploiting various bugs and exploits in video games for the hilarity it would cause. If there's something broken in a game, you'll be sure he'll find it, cheese the heck out of it for giggles, all the while drinking a cup of Yorkshire Tea.

* AndIMustScream: He pulls off an absolutely ''nightmarish VideoGame/TheSims4'' exploit where he traps a group of pregnant women in a pool and forces them to give birth over and over. Basically, because it's impossible for children and pregnant women to die in the game, they can never drown, and because they're in a pool they can never actually give birth. However, the game still gives you a free bassinet when they go into labor, meaning you can rack up an infinite number of bassinets and sell them all for 150 Simoleons each. Of note it's one of the few times he expresses doubt over doing sonething even while fully leaning into his greedy madman persona. Spiff {{Lampshades}} it:

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In his ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' videos he says that his character, Reanu Keeves is so powerful that he risks breaking out of the game and into reality. He advises pledging your allegiance to Reanu Keeves as it will yield benefits like him taking you to a nice dinner, or just not killing you with his [[MakeMeWannaShout shouting power]].

* CurbStompBattle: While in the ''LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}'' [[https://youtu.be/R4mLWj5Syno?t=1406 Jingle Jam 2020 Live Stream]], he ends up with a huge profit lead over everyone else in ''VideoGame/OpenTTD''.

** He has even done a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjsqR-JMTAI tier list]] of various tea brands. Not surprisingly, he puts the Yorkshire Tea brands towards the top, especially Yorkshire Gold at S-tier. Inversely, on the F-tier, he put sweetened ice teas (after an indignant rant), Bovril (a beef and yeast paste submitted at the request of a superchat viewer) and Lancashire Tea (which he was not impressed with at all) in the F-tier.

* {{Corpsing}}: During his first escape attempt in ''VideoGame/PrisonArchitect'', he points out that if you tried legging it the instant you left the bus, you'd get grabbed by the guards before you could escape... [[InstantlyProvenWrong only to do that instantly]], prompting him to break into laughter.

--> "Oh god I'm evil."

* ViolationOfCommonSense: How many of his exploits go. Such as transporting coal by air because the price of a good in Transport Fever goes up the further it travels. He was paid several million for what he estimated to be £34,000 worth of coal in real life because he happened to ship it from the far side of the 24km long map.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: "X but with too many mods". Instead of showing off an exploit, he gives his admin free rein to fill a game with mods they find on the Steam Workshop without him knowing what they have found. And he jumps into the game completely blind... Like discovering a "Sanic" race option in Skyrim that [[HellIsThatNoise plays Sanic's theme]] whenever the character moves forward. These are some of the few videos where Spiff becomes completely out of his element.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: He quickly regretted the decision to make it so that every time someone died in his 100 Prisoners in 100 Days Challenge, their body would burst into flames. As he also occupied his prison with exclusively super-strong, super-tough and super-aggressive legendary inmates. A single one of which is capable of killing entire groups of guards single-handedly even without a weapon conjured almost out of thin air.

* BritsLoveTea: He reminds viewers to have a nice, warm cup of tea (preferably Yorkshire) with them while watching as he games the system. In his ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresIII'' video, he remarked that for the hot 30°C summer weather, iced tea would be permitted just this once.

* SpotOfTea: He reminds viewers to have a nice, warm cup of tea with them while watching as he games the system. In his ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresIII'' video, he remarked that for the hot 30°C summer weather, iced tea would be permitted just this once.

His portfolio however starts remarkably mundane, in that his early videos explored the the lore of VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}. Due to the long periods in between updates, he eventually branched out to video game exploits, and the rest is history.
