** The footage sometimes shows him picking the lowest difficulty setting before starting.
* ShapedLikeItself: All the time.
--> ''"When you think of one of the most bestest {{Pixar}} films of the 1970s, chances are the LionKing is probably on your top 5 list."''
* SmallNameBigEgo: PlayedForLaughs. He parodies how little credit IG gives to other people in his work, and often writes very self-centered things about himself in the credits.
* SoundtrackDissonance: The show's theme song for the first season is the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJlBN4fIBM0 Dog Ending Theme]] from ''SilentHill2''.
* StylisticSuck: The special effects, video editing and acting. Occasionally lampshaded.
* TakeThat:
** The entire series is one big TakeThat to the ''Irate Gamer''. Also occasional jabs at Leisuresuitgaming and Game Dude.
** This even goes as far to have a TakeThat to one of ''TheIrateGamer's'' [[TakeThat Take Thats]], when he says, "Well, yeah, but these haters are...dumb." (Photoshopped graphic saying "PWNED!")
** And occasionally, he goes for targets other than video game reviewers.
--> ''"This ninja is the worst ninja in the history of ninjas! I'd rather watch an episode of fuckin' {{Naruto}} than play a level of this shitty fake ninja game!"''
* TheyJustDidntCare: Invoked:
--> "There's also another predecessor called ''Castlemania 3: Dracula's Curse''. All I'm going to do is barely mention it here, so that I can say I reviewed it."
* TooDumbToLive: He has a bomb just lying around in his house for no reason.
* UnreadablyFastText: Done at times. For instance, in "Cool Spot", he does an AsideGlance and the text "this is the part where you're supposed to laugh" flashes very briefly.
* UnfortunateImplications: Invoked with the side character "Offensive Stereotype", basically a walking collection of [[FarEast every]] [[AllAsiansAreAlike asian stereotype]] [[AsianAndNerdy in existance]]. A parody of ''Irate Gamer's'' [[AmbiguouslyJewish Ronnie the Skeleton.]]
* ViewersAreMorons: PlayedForLaughs, and almost always lampshaded.
--> "Hopefully if I circle these words as I read them, it will enhance the video because my fans don't know how to read."
