* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Upon uploading his playthrough of ''Code Brown,'' many fans complained the video was unplayable. Gray later stated on Twitter that he "broke the entire video" after using the [=YouTube=] editor (a task that he's done multiple times without issue). He subsequently reuploaded the video several hours later and it worked perfectly fine. Reportedly, this problem happens sporadically with many [=YouTubers=].

** Every vehicle he drives in ''VideoGame/MySummerCar'' becomes this throughout the series.

** Asking Siri for innocuous questions that Siri ended up not giving directly until after and he shutting it down once Siri went off on a tirade he did not want.

* BreakoutCharacter: Florida Man. It is also how [=GrayStillPlays=] refers to himself in all of his playthroughs.

->''Alright~ so we're checking out [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife the only website with a full dissertation on the subject of how using said website will irrevocably change you as a human being]]...''(ding!)'' It's the Gray Still Plays page on Wiki/TVTropes.org''

As of September 2020, [=GrayStillPlays=] has 3.7 million subscribers and more than 1 billion views on his videos.

* TheAllegedCar: Gray played ''Truck and Logistics Simulator'' in the episode "i caused $ 25,930,110 in property damage and this happened". He accuses ''every single vehicle'' in the game of being this, and he's mostly right. The monster truck comes covered in rust, the minivan's Check Engine light is permanently on, and so on.
** Every vehicle he drives in ''VideoGame/MySummerCar'' becomes this throughout the series.

* AnachronismStew:
** During Gray's ''Wildlife Park 3'' playthrough, he's able to drop a Tyrannosaurus rex into the same enclosure as modern-day animals. It even gets killed by a lion.
** His ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' episodes also see his bringing megalodon sharks into Los Santos. He even recreates the infamous "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_Shark Helicopter Shark]]" hoax photo.
* AnimalMotifs:
** Not very obvious, but he has one with gray foxes. He ends every video with "Stay foxy" and his logo used to have a fox tail on the G.

-->'''Gray''': Welllllll...[[RealityEnsues it was only a matter of time before I got hit by a meteorite vehicle going ten billion miles an hour...]]

* RealityEnsues: As his [=LPs=] of "peaceful" simulation games can attest, such as ''VideoGame/FarmingSimulator 19'', going into the game's files and messing with the values of certain features can and will make the game virtually to completely unplayable, if not just crash the game outright. Just look at what he did when he [[https://youtu.be/9z5oCmKUYH4 wanted to plow all of the snow on the map at once...]]

* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: Literally anything he does to the Titans in his Brick Rigs series.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite the terrible things Gray does to his characters even he has some standards.
** As already mentioned typically Gray likes to do terrible things to his characters, like putting them in death traps or deliberately always choosing the worst option. In [[https://https://youtu.be/exDl62Fmm7s The Doomsday Crisis Line]] and [[https://youtu.be/391jAwtR4nM Moko's Advice]], the in-game consequences are so awful that he starts picking the nicer options when possible. [[MortonsFork Naturally in those particular games, those options usually end badly as well.]] In fact, Gray comments how in both games the [[BlatantLies good options]] are worse than the bad options.
** A common set of standards if a character flat out said they aren't unique or lonely. He felt bad when he rejected the guy in Moko's advice.
** And while playing ''Blind Justice'', when hearing the case of a woman who killed several small children and heard her statement, well...
--->'''Gray''': "THEY BLED LIKE PIGS"?! Sweet baby Jesus! ''(sentences woman to be executed)''
** Gray actually sympathizes with Marty in a few of the {{Downer Ending}}s in ''VideoGame/AirMarty'', most noticeable in the ending “Life saver” ending. After he sees Marty go homeless after [[InsaneTrollLogic someone misconstrues Marty giving CPR to sexual assault,]] Gray has only this to say (keep in mind he just stopped laughing at the scene in general):
--> '''Gray:''' That is the image of a broken man with nothing left to lose. Achievement unlocked: Life saver.
** On the other side of the same coin is the "An Evening With Marty" ending, where he seems legitimately terrified.
** He avoids jokes or gameplay involving underage sex or relationships. Once while playing The Guild 3, he says he wants to find a wife that's as young as possible for one of the characters so that they'll be able to keep having children for a long time ... then when one of the options is a fifteen-year-old, he just says, "No."
** In "i opened a toilet company that ruins lives" he plays ''Toilet Management Simulator''. His original goal with the game was to not clean anything and see just how horrible his public toilet could get, until his first clogged toilet became so absolutely disgusting that he couldn't take it anymore and immediately purchased all the cleaning tools so he could fix it.
** In "[[Literature/TheCallOfCthulhu The Call of Karen]]", the opening moments have a radio host interviewing a woman, and he immediately asks her "[what] [[StayInTheKitchen a good Christian woman like you is doing out of the kitchen and on America's airwaves]]", Gray's immediate response is a horrified gasp, followed by a horrified moan, followed by pointing out the blatant misogyny when describing the game.
** While playing Field History, Gray despise Daniel and even after saving him, he's happy when it's revealed that Daniel died a slow and painful death. Also in the same vid, Gray also does feel bad for the other patients and how they died.
** Gray typically loves to torture himself with stupidly hard games or levels. Noah's Ark, however, was so hard that even Gray found it too much, and by the end, Gray was commenting how it was "harder than performing freaking brain surgery."

* SpecialGuest: "only 1% of people can defeat me in this impossible snipers vs runners challenge includes [=CallMeKevin=] and DF.

* StockSoundEffects: Dings, crashing sounds, RecordNeedleScratch, the occasional Windows error message sound, the WilhelmScream, and [[Series/HomeImprovement the Tim Taylor grunt of confusion]]. Later to be joined by generic sounding screams, [[Series/TheOfficeUS Michael Scott screaming "GOD, PLEASE, NO!"]], [[{{Angrish}} angry sounding gibberish]], the "Bruh..." sound byte, a "YEET!" scream, the ''VideoGame/{{ROBLOX}}'' (or rather, the ''VideoGame/{{Messiah}}'') "oof", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beuGTOOERjA the "Old Man Laughs" video]] and even the "order complete" jingle from ''House Flipper''. He also uses the "[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain Why are we still here? Just to suffer?]]" meme in his 99.9% impossible challenge videos.

* FreezeFrameBonus: Most notable in ''Universe Sandbox 2'', when he renames planets (frequently, Earth) into things the planet might be thinking as it is subjected to Gray's destructive whimsies.
