  • Aluminum Christmas Trees: You know that web comic where a diver finds a moose underwater, and an orca is about to eat it? It turns out that moose that will dive under water to graze on aquatic plants, which makes them vulnerable to orca attacks, and moose has become part of their diet plan.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: His humor basically runs on this, and then some. And he's aware of it.
  • Memetic Psychopath:
    • Orcas. He frequently explains why they are to the point that he will show clips of them attacking stingrays, launching seals around 80 feet in the air ("It's the fastest way for a seal to join the air force"), and beating a sting ray into unconsciousness with their tails, and brings up the fact that they will actually hunt moose. Yes, as it turns out, moose is part of an orca's diet plan, and not to mention the war crimes they commit on sharks. Considering that orcas are related to dolphins, he definitely has a point there.
    • Speaking of which, he never fails to mention that dolphins are Memetic Molesters and all-around assholes.
    • Honey badgers are as the kind of animal that would cause problems rather than avoiding them with their balls-out determination, and are cocaine-fueled killing machines who will square off with lions and hyenas, rob leopards right in front of their faces, literally sleep off cobra and viper bites only to wake up like nothing happened, and chomp on honeycombs until the bees sting them to death "because they will die before they care." Unsurprisingly, Mamadou made them number one of Top 10 Animals with Black Air Force Energy.
    • He especially has it out for pelicans and everything else in the Pelicaniform group, though in this case he admits it's partly due to personal bias from a pelican attacking him as a child.
    • Hippos are the undisputed kings of this trope, given they kill other prey animals for daring to use their watering hole as an escape route, molest crocodiles as children and chomp them in half as adults, grab lions by the mouth to tear out their jaw, and actively chase down humans to capsize their boats and swallow whole anyone that falls into the water.
    • Chimpanzees are also the most aggressive primates to exist due to the fact that despite their apparent friendliness, they will assault humans. To add insult to injury, gorilla's Killer Gorilla status is starting to wane as they are now being known to be a Gentle Giant while chimps end up gaining gorilla's bad rep.
  • Squick:
    • As expected, Mamadou will sometimes explain an animal's sex life and show their privates, such as whales showing their penises on the ocean surface.
    • There'll be times even he is grossed out by an animal's bizarre biology and will frequently state he isn't making it up.
    • Mamadou will also sometimes explain the more squicktastic aspects of certain animals' feeding habits, from the process in which they consume their meals to just what those meals contain.
