-->'''Primm''': Ohh, all right, I don't like that. Um, I mean...if John Singleton is cool with it, it's his movie. Still, though, if you grew up with black brothers, you should know better. That's like the number one rule with black people, what's wrong with you?

* NoOSHACompliance: In ''Above The Rim'', the lead characters have a court on a rooftop that is plagued with hazards, which leads to a character actually falling off the roof to his death at the start of the movie. Primm has ''many'' questions.
-->Why isn't there a gate or some boards or something here? This is not a good place to hoop! I'm surprised more people don't die up here! This shit's like a final boss level! Like, what if the ball fly off this bitch and crack somebody in the head? That could kill them! What if you try to save the ball and you can't stop yourself in time? You dead! What if you fall through this big-ass skylight greenhouse shit right here?! You fucking dead!

** Playing a clip of ''Creator/TarajiPHenson'' in ''Baby Boy'' saying "I ain't even mad at you 'cause I already knew that" when he guesses (correctly) that a tone-deaf "hood" movie making broad assumptions and stereotypes of how people of color act and talk was written by a white male.

* BerserkButton: Narration in hood films. ''Film/MenaceIISociety'' was the TropeCodifier and has been abused in many following films in the genre, to Primm's irritation.
* CovertPervert: He makes the occasional remark about how attractive a female character (or their actress) is.
* DeadpanSnarker: While his videos are mostly summaries of the films, he'll sometimes stop to comment on the nature of the films with a witty remark or acknowledging the fallacies in the plot.
* HalloweenEpisode: He'll sometimes review horror films with predominantly African-American casts and/or hood settings.
* LampshadeHanging: This is his forte. He will not waste an opportunity to call out a stupid decision made by a character or straight-up bad writing.

* VocalEvolution: His first videos had him speak in a quieter, monotone voice, to great humorous effect when mocking a shoddy film or scene. His more recent videos of which have a higher production value has him speak with a more expressive voice.
