* ComicallyMissingThePoint: A RunningGag in the sequel is York's tendency to completely misinterpret the movies he watches. Among other things, he thinks''[[Film/{{Ghostbusters}}]]'' a straightforward horror movie and considers ''[[Film/TheIsland]]'' an arthouse film.

* CharacterExaggeration: York's love of movies is taken UpToEleven in the sequel. While he is willing to talk at length about movies during optional car conversations in the first game, York constantly makes movie references and goes on tangents about them even in the story cutscenes in the sequel. Considering a portion of it takes place years before the events of Greenvale, this could be more reflective of him being YoungerAndHipper.

[[spoiler:As well as when he offers to help Thomas escape Greenvale, when it's clear that he's going insane, and his entire relation with Zach.]]]] The sequel also makes it clear that he believes that no one should be judged negatively for how they choose to identify themselves, best demonstrated when he gets legitimately frustrated with Melvin when he seemingly makes a transphobic remark about Professor R, a trans woman.
