* PetTheDog: Gray played ''Idol Manager'' the same way he plays most games, outright stating that he was going to work his idol group to death for money and try to put members down like horses if they got injured. However, there were moments where he was surprisingly kind to the girls; he didn't restrict them when it came to their social media presence or dating life, he publicly defended them if they got caught up in scandals, and when one of the girls asked if he could attend their dance practice, he accepted (though he stated that this was because he was wondering ''how'' they'd perform a dance routine when most of them were injured). One commenter went as far as to say that Gray was more humane towards his stars than [[TakeThat the actual idol industry]].

** Danny's $500 board.
*** Gray started paying people on Fiverr to make GTA boards for five different price points; the lowest-price board (a measly US$1) was made by a kid named Danny.
*** Danny then proceeded to make another $1 board in Gray's next multi-price video, followed by three $10 boards in the next sets. At the end of the third $10 board, he asks Gray to let him do a $50 board, and then later emails Gray elaborating that he's doing Gray's Fiverr jobs to get himself a BMX bike.
*** Despite the multi-price videos previously having sets of $1/$10/$100/$500/$1000, Gray takes him up on the offer, and lets him make a $50 board. However, that particular video only ends up being a set of '''four''' as Gray ends Danny's $50 board with the following:
---->'''Gray:''' This is not a $50 board. Danny, I'm treating this as a $500 board! ''Get yourself a nice bike!''



* ProductPlacement: Once from Manscape, of all things, where he jokingly made it look like he was going to shave his cat, Loki, before he gave him a threatening meow ("[[FunWithSubtitles I swear to god, I will cut you]]"). Again, by Dollar Shave Club, where he shaved a [[ItMakesSenseInContext cactus]]. Another one had him sponsored by LG for their monitors with Loki [[FunWithSubtitles giving his opinion on it]].

** In "I found a water slide that goes to space", Gray showed off a ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' board that was sent to him through an email. In the next episode, "$1 vs $1000 Roller Coasters in GTA 5", Gray's email has become flooded with messages, with Gray saying that it was the worst decision he ever made.

* HumiliatingWager: Gray accepted a challenge (from the same person who provided the LaughingMad source video below) to play another map. The twist was that for each time Gray died, he would have to pay the creator $100 in actual cash. And since Gray is prone to YetAnotherStupidDeath, he wound up owing a humiliating [[spoiler:$2600]] by the end.

** Amid all of the antics, there was one man who Gray ''[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold actually felt pity for]].'' The man was accused of siphoning grain to feed his family. He said that "the money his family would receive for his death would be more than he could ever provide." Gray still killed him, but it's clear he was a bit hesitant.

One of which a woman who was accused of shooting her two children and her defense was: "they bled like pigs!" Gray was ''horrified'' and immediately had her shot.

** Almost all of his ''VideoGame/TheSims'' videos are all about torturing sims until they all die. Then there are the videos "i gave a woman 100 husbands" and "i gave a man 100 wives" which are both about competing to see which sims can whoohoo the most.
