* EnforcedMethodActing: He downed an actual bottle of Mana Energy Potion ([[KlatchianCoffee which is really potent and has an extremely strong flavor]]) in his Ehrgeiz review. The energetic screaming he did in response along with his twitchy ButtonMashing for the ensuing montage were from a legitimate [[CaffeineBulletTime rush]].

* ThrowItIn: In his Christmas Shoes review, he was originally going to scream into a throw pillow that he had placed on his couch. However, while filming, his cat kept jumping on it to lay down on. After getting tired of removing her from it, he decided to just scream into her instead of the pillow. This has since became a famous RunningGag of his, to the point of including her in the credits as "Shampoo the Stress-Relief Cat".

* Gareth Van Camp suffers from UsefulNotes/AspergersSyndrome, which affects his speech pattern among other things. This is most noticeable in his earliest videos where his voice is slower, more deliberate, and marked with the occasional mild stammer. He's since gotten more control over it.
** He's mentioned in his YouTube comments about how his voice when he's out of character typically only has two modes: "deliberate and emotionless, or excitable, stammering mess."
*** This is made HarsherInHindsight when you consider the large number of comments complaining about how "annoying" his voice is.
** That said, he seems to have a fairly good sense of humor about it. Sometimes joking about it in comments:
--> '''Commenter:''' ''You sound like Aspergers!''
--> '''Necro:''' ''I AM Aspergers!''
* He once mentioned that the real reason he started making videos in the first place was as a coping mechanism for his crippling fear of expressing his anger.
* AuthorPhobia: The fact that Gareth suffers from Paedophobia in real life really puts certain aspects of his Film/BabyGeniuses review into perspective.
* CopiouslyCreditedCreator: He makes these videos single-handedly. So, naturally, he credits himself as the writer, director, producer, editor, and star.
* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: In his Top Ten Underappreciated Disney Villains list, he mentions how WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} was created to be an antagonist for WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse, when in actuality it was the other way around.

* OldShame: Before he was The Necro Critic, Gareth had a series of random rant videos called, ''You Know What Pisses Me Off?'' He is apparently not very fond of them.
** [[TheArtifact Oddly enough, he *does* start off his first official Necro Critic review with this phrase...]]
* ScheduleSlip: He's had a few "embarassingly late" holiday specials.
** As of late, there's been a tendency to have a few months between videos.
