Unlike many other apologetics channels on [=YouTube=], tekton uses animated skits to get his point across. Holding's cartoons often contain gags and skits to accompany the information. The videos mostly respond to atheist claims about the Bible and Christianity, although sometimes veer into the territory of answering other Christians. Most of them are meant to accompany articles on the tektonics.org website.

Sometimes Holding has directly responded to people in his videos (including atheists like [=NonStampCollector=] and WebAnimation/DarkMatter2525, but also fundamentalists like The FUEL Project).
!!TektonTV Provides Examples Of:

* BearsAreBadNews: {{Subverted|Trope}} in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgkMJhcTE1c Elisha and the Two Bears]]".

* TheHorseshoeEffect: Not a political version but a religious one. Holding refers to antitheists as "fundie atheists", arguing that the way they read the Bible is the same as [[TheFundamentalist fundamentalists]], just coming to opposite conclusions.
* MachineWorship: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRTkXbQPn0M Refuting Remsberg's List]]", a tribe of fundie atheists are worshiping a supercomputer called the Historicon.
