* MoodWhiplash: The first part of the video has the girl calmly singing while nickiskindastrange waits for his turn. Then she turns the mike over and Nick's demeanor completely shifts as he gets into character, adopting a manic look (complete with ScaryFlashlightFace) and gremlinesque voice.



* PainfulRhyme: The [=PS5=] is obviously struggling to come up with rhymes as the video progresses.
-->'''[=PS5:=]''' Come with me and play my games! / We'll have cowboy times in--''[falters]''--space! Doo-doo-doo-doo, yeah!
* ScaryFlashlightFace: When it's nickiskindastrange's turn, he turns a light on under his face to add to his character's manic air.
