* MagnumOpusDissonance: It's difficult to tell how serious Harris is being in saying this, but he often calls his drama adjacent videos bad and says his game and movies essays are better. His fans on the other hand believe these videos are his best work and the view count reflects this:

** Harris would probably be the first to admit that it can take him quite a long time to put a video together. Particularly since he lampshades it in the "Flat Earth" video.

** His video "The War on Christmas: A Measured Response" starts with a joke about this--it opens on a segment shot during October 2019, then immediately jumps to a segment shot in December 2019--and also ''really'' was this, with the video actually being released in December 2020. Upon the completion of the video, Harris announced that he would be hiring an editor to help keep his projects on a more regular schedule.

* ThrowItIn: Unintended happenings are common in Harris's videos, and supply a fair bit of his comedy. For example, "Vaccines and Autism: A Measured Response" alone features flubbed lines left in, a smoke machine turning on by itself and ruining a take, and the Windows update chime interrupting Harris's voiceover.
* TrollingCreator: Harris has falsely claimed in at least two videos that he has mutual friends with Paul Joseph Watson just to annoy Paul. He admits that the whole thing is a gag in his ''War On Christmas'' video...[[TheGadfly only to jokingly take it back seconds later.]]

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: In his "In Defense of ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII''" video, he claims that ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' was inspired by ''Dark Souls II'' due to the different healing system and a lack of viable shields in the game. However, ''Bloodborne'' was conceptualized prior to the release of ''Dark Souls'' and began production after the game was released, while ''Dark Souls II'' only began production after seeing the critical reception to ''Dark Souls'', with both teams being largely independent of each other. ''Bloodborne'' also takes closer inspiration from ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'' in terms of how it handles items, alongside having a different play style that encourages more ruthless fighting compared to the ''Souls'' games, which are slower and more defensive in nature, which is why shields are not a core element.

** During a reading of a list of characters from UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks in [[https://youtu.be/4xRDiUD1a8c?t=2m4s his video about how bad The Killing Joke movie was]], Hbomb can barely get the phenomenally ridiculous "Bloodaxe" out.

** ''Plagiarism and You(Tube)'' has Hbomb promise to donate all the proceeds from the video to all of the people James Somerton had plagiarised. One of Somerton's victims, ''Tinker Belles and Evil Queens'' author Sean Griffin, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDp3cB5fHXQ&lc=Ugze8Y5LFAlE-_cY0bl4AaABAg donated his share of the proceeds]] back to be given to everyone else, believing it would be better spent on those less well-off than him and he would gain a lot of sales from the publicity [=HBomb=] gave him.

* CreatorBacklash: In his ''The Golden One: A Measured Response'' video, Hbomb expresses some dissatisfaction with his Cultural Marxism video. The issues he has with it involve his fear that he might've accidentally [[TheWarOnStraw strawmanned]] some people, [[NoBudget the video's production values]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and]] [[IWasQuiteTheFashionVictim his choice of hairstyle]].

** His "Plagiarism and You(Tube)" video ends with him saying he didn't want to make the video since he would be indirectly benefitting from plagiarism (even if it is by exposing it), and that he has other videos that are good coming, even suggesting people watch the video on ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'' on his Patreon because that one is "actually" good. In sixteen days, the Plagiarism video has already overtaken the New Vegas video and the OOF video in lifetime views, and in less than a month it overtook the ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' video as well, becoming the second most view video on his channel.

* CreatorKiller: A case of one of his videos doing this to someone else. After the backlash that James Somerton received following the release of "Plagiarism and You(Tube)" exposing his multiple instances of plagiarism across his career as a [=YouTuber=], he took Hbomb's advice and [[https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/12/popular-gay-youtuber-deletes-online-presence-after-video-accuses-him-of-rampant-plagiarism/ deleted]] his channel and his entire social media presence.

** During the "ROBLOX_OOF.mp3" video when talking about Joey Kuras, text appears on screen saying he didn't bother reaching out to Joey for the video and (albeit in an exaggerated way) tells people not to bother Joey, and in this text, the calls the video horrible. As of now, it has overtaken his VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas video as his fourth most viewed video despite that video being a year older.
