!!Tropes:
*AmbiguouslyBi: While he talks a lot about getting girls (and his lack thereof), he also describes [[Website/Reddit r/Bodybuilding]] by saying, "Finally some good content".

*ArtStyleDissonance: Downplayed. One would likely expect a more lighthearted tone from a series of poorly drawn stick figures.

*TheCynic: Jamie often borders on downright pessimistic, such as how he describes his current situation as the worst possible outcome in ''The Fear of Missing Out''.

*InsistentTerminology: He goes to great lengths to differentiate between the Commuter and the Cyclist in ''Cycling''.

*TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: All. The. Freaking. Time.
