** In 'I Bought An "RGB Custom Built Gaming PC" from Etsy.com...', Dawid simply shows the part of the Etsy product description saying it will play Fortnite over footage of the PC trying to run Fortnite, set to the sound of him laughing at it.

* YouSayTomato: Dawid's pronunciation of "thirty" as "thiddy" has been embraced by his viewers, to the point that he sells a t-shirt with "thiddy" on it. It doesn't hurt that a *lot* of GPUs seem to have a 30 somewhere in their name.

* OnceAnEpisode: Absolutely ''any'' computer, CPU or graphics card will be tested by running VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV on it, specifically judging its performance by walking out of Franklin's house and driving down the same road in central Los Santos. Even things that have absolutely no business running GTA5 are tested in this way.

** He was once impressed rather than mad that a prebuilt he bought with a rare quad-channel motherboard and CPU still had only a single RAM stick, saying he'd thought he'd never see such a thing in the wild.

!!Dawid Does Tech Stuff provides examples of the following tropes:

* DeadpanSnarker: Dawid can be exceptionally cutting about a lot of the poor quality crap that he reviews.
* InsistentTerminology: A ''lot'', and usually with a heavy dose of double entendre.
** "Acer loser nitro suck face"[[note]]A particularly displeasing Acer pre-built PC[[/note]]
** "Venereal disease"[[note]]Pre-installed bloatware and anti-virus on pre-built computers and laptops[[/note]]
** "Glory hole"[[note]]A port on the bottom of a laptop for the user to access memory slots without disassembling it[[/note]]
** "Laptop coorel"[[note]]An Amazon no-name laptop cooler that managed to spell "cooler" wrong in its description, leading Dawid to refer to it as such for ever more[[/note]]
