* ADayInTheLimelight:
** Ellis Dee gets two episodes of ''The Sims 4'' with her as the star, as "I made a Mother take care of 100 Children" features her as the mother, while "i gave a woman 100 husbands and this happened" gives her two clips of 50 husbands each; Florida Man, Australia Man, and Tim Horton merely get cameos.
** The winning husband of the "One woman with 100 husbands challenge", Evan Thorne (now renamed Kyle for simplicity) returns as the headliner for a "I gave a man 100 wives" episode along with competing challengers Florida Man and Australia Man.
* AMillionIsAStatistic: His kill counts for things like destroying Earths in ''VideoGame/UniverseSandbox'' and various roller coaster and/or theme park simulators are ''staggering'' (and sometimes in reverse result in absolutely unfathomable '''negative''' numbers).
* ARareSentence:
** Even with all the obtuse things he's done in his videos, he's still caught off-guard by the choices available to him when fielding [[TooDumbToLive people's questions]] in ''Dumbocalypse'', when a man asks what he should do about a live wire in his home, and one of the answers is ''pee on the wire'':
--->'''Gray:''' How could I pass up the opportunity to cause horrifying urethral trauma? I never thought I'd say that in a Website/YouTube video--''(clicks "Pee on the Wire")'' do it!
** The episode "i found a way to cause infinite pain and this happened" gives another one.
--->'''Gray:''' Can you get your femur off of my harvester, please? ...that goes somewhere on the list of things I never thought I'd say.
** His episode of "when [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants SpongeBob]] breaks you out of a GTA 5 prison"
--->'''Gray:''' Alright, we're playing the only game where you have to break into prison to rescue a man whose DNA they're trying to extract in order to make sponge super soldiers, it's GTA. I... that is the strangest intro I think I've ever had.
* ArchEnemy: In his ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' videos, Gray has one in the form of Danny and Alex, two people who make boards for the sole purpose of torturing Gray and make him want to uninstall the game.
** In some videoes, its their apprentice Petey that's ready to cause Grey to go to an insane asylum.

** 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.

* 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.

* DeathOfAChild: Even kids are not immune to the ComedicSociopathy. His playthrough of ''Kindergarten'' sees a lot of this, what with that being a brutally violent game all about kindergarten kids. He also racks up quite a body count in his ''VideoGame/TheSims4'' episodes "sentencing 100 kids to life in school prison" and "I made a Mother take care of 100 children - The Sims 4". Quite an achievement, considering kids in ''The Sims 4'' are immune to most of the deaths that adults can get. Naturally, it is PlayedForLaughs every time. Oddly enough, his first child character from ''The Sims'', Jimmy Mumps, seemed to have ImprobableInfantSurvival and never managed to die no matter what Gray did.

* MadScientist[=/=]EvilutionaryBiologist: When playing ''Species'', He takes evolution to its (il)logical extremes by forcing the game's creatures to evolve into horrible abominations. Also, his episodes involving ''VideoGame/TheSims 4'' are referred to not as playthroughs, but as experiments. Most experiments boil down to "who dies last when we torture everyone?" [[note]] He seems to actually run them as experiments, as he rarely commands his sims more than he needs, usually only telling them to get in the experiment area. The sims' autonomy does the rest. [[/note]]

* MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: He ends up being this very often in ''Universe Sandbox [[superscript:2]]'' and other games.

* NotAfraidToDie: Gray questions why one would be afraid of dying, in "I Created A House that Causes Repeated Heart Attacks - The Sims 4".
--> '''Gray:''' Looking at how mundane the life of a ghost is... why even bother? Why even fear death? They get scared at... at the same damn pranks that all the normal sims get scared at!

--> '''Gray:''' Wow, I had a 66% accuracy! ''Starts to crack up'' The funny thing is, I got a 66''.6''% accuracy!

* 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]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umDr0mPuyQc "GOD, PLEASE, NO!"]], [[{{Angrish}} angry sounding gibberish]], the "Bruh..." sound byte, a "YEET!" scream, the ''Platform/{{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.

--->'''Gray''': How could I pass up the opportunity to cause horrifying urethral trauma? I never thought I'd say that in a Website/YouTube video--''(clicks "Pee on the Wire")'' do it!

--> '''Gray:''' Ok, so we’re checking out the only game were you have to make choices so you don’t get addicted to drugs, divorced by your wife and get sniped while working out to Richard Simmons in your living room, it’s Air Marty.

-->'''Gray''': Whenever I don't want to work night shift, I just shoot rounds at my captain and get moved over to day shift.

-->'''Gray''': I don't want to play the game, I just want to ''break'' the game. ''(clicks on Play Game)'' Break game, damn it!

-->'''Gray''': Why is there a trio of Christmas ornaments intently staring at my groin? I don't suppose I could pass [[PottyFailure this]] off as ball sweat...?

--->'''Gray''': I'm sorry, Minecraft, some people just wanna watch the world burn. ''(launches fireball)'' SeeYouInHell--''(RecordNeedleScratch as he gets a Windows error message saying that the game has crashed)'' Wow, broke the game first try! Okay, maybe a few less zeroes...''([[WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties test pattern]])''

--->'''Gray''': Not gonna lie, that was the first time I crashed ''Farming Simulator '19'' so hard that it disappeared off my computer. ''(ominously)'' ''Farming Simulator '19'' finally has the appropriate amount of fear.

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

-->'''Gray:''' Thanks for continuing to sponsor my crazy ass, Raycon!

-->'''Gray''': "Speed limit"? ''(derisive laughter)''

--> '''Gray, during Impeached''': "This is supposed to a bottle of [maple] syrup with, like, a pancake on the front... it came out looking like a salt shaker that was drawn by somebody riding a washing machine..."

-->'''Father:''' So let me ask you something son...
-->'''Son:''' ''[[ThisIsGoingTosuck Oh god no.]]''

-->'''Gray''': ''(to an NPC village)'' Real quick, I figured I'd ask: you boys like llamas? ''(puts a llama spawner atop a switch, causing an infinite recursion of llamas to spawn)''

* StockSoundEffects: Dings, crashing sounds, RecordNeedleScratch, the occasional Windows error message sound, the WilhelmScream, and [[Series/HomeImprovement the Tim Taylor grunt of confusion]].

** Nugget from ''VideoGame/{{Kindergarten}}'' is his breakthrough character, and the one he loves voicing the most.

* BigOMG: In one ''Universe Sandbox [[superscript:2]]'', after the Earth expands and disintegrates, the framerate drops and [[https://youtu.be/6Tr40Gevwcg?t=865 then suddenly a massive, white hot fragment explodes into view]], resulting in Gray delivering one of these.

[=GrayStillPlays=] is an American Website/{{YouTube}}r known for his humorous Let's Plays of various PC games.

* AMillionIsAStatistic: His kill counts for things like destroying Earths in ''Universe Sandbox [[superscript:2]]'' and various roller coaster and/or theme park simulators are ''staggering'' (and sometimes in reverse result in absolutely unfathomable '''negative''' numbers).

* HornyDevils: Discussed. When Gray played smartphone idle clicker ''Hell Party'' in the episode "experiencing all 9 circles of hell" he kept expecting these to make an appearance, even looking up ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'' off camera to see what level lust was on and where he could expect them. They never showed up. At the end he said that the lack of any busty cartoon succubi was by far his biggest disappointment with the game. (For reference, lust in ''Hell Party'' is represented by burly teddy bear demons giving people crushing bear hugs.)
