* WhenIWasYourAge: In the "When Our Generation Gets Old" series, Kyle's grandfather frequently mentions what things were like when he was younger. This is all PlayedForLaughs, as he was young during the early 21st Century, and he's old in the future, where there is advanced technology and modern-day pop culture is taught in school.

!!This channel provides examples of...
* AbusiveParents: PlayedForLaughs with Kyle's mom, who acts like a stereotypical black mother (up to and including threatening him with a belt to get him to do what she wants), isn't too afraid to show that she doesn't like him, and adamantly favors his little brother Timmy over him. Kyle's father on the other hand also counts, but he's somewhat nicer than his wife, yet strict at times.
* AmusementPark: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lryvg09cLqE One video]] sees Kyle going to one that was created by Creator/{{Apple}}. As expected, he gets scammed left and right, and [[spoiler: ends up getting himself trapped inside for the next 24 hours.]]
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Timmy, Kyle's younger brother, is a frequent annoyance in his family, which isn't helped that [[ParentalFavoritism their parents like him more than Kyle.]]
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Two videos depict social media apps as looking like real people when Kyle physically enters his phone to hang out with them. [[spoiler: There's even personifications of Wi-Fi, LTE, and 3G.]]
* BurgerFool: UsefulNotes/McDonalds is frequently depicted as a poor restaurant with employees who don't care about the customers, and aren't happy with their lives in general.
* DysfunctionalFamily: Kyle's family might not be one in real life, but he has one in his videos. His mother [[AbusiveParents doesn't like him]], his little brother is a bother, and his grandfather is clueless about the current generation, which he's frequently seen trying to integrate himself into. His father, as strict as he is, seems like the most sane of the bunch that isn't his son, but Kyle is the OnlySaneMan compared to his relatives.
* FracturedFairyTale: Kyle has made Main/TrapMusic songs that retell the stories of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEVnjT5kwTY The Three Little Pigs]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rjwuRJbtFo Little Red Riding Hood]] in a unique way.
* {{Greed}}: In Kyle's world, Creator/{{Apple}} is a money-hungry company that's willing to scam their oblivious customers with hefty prices for almost everything, and products that aren't as new and improved as the last generation.
* InformedPoverty: The "When a Robber Tries to Rob You but You're Broke" videos have someone attempting to rob Kyle, who is very poor, despite living in a house. The robber is further bewildered by everything about his life in poverty until he finally gives up.
* {{Jerkass}}: Several of Kyle's characters act this way.
* OnlySaneMan: Kyle frequently serves as the StraightMan to everyone around him.
* ParentalFavoritism: Timmy is more liked than Kyle.
* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: In "When a Robber Tries to Rob You but You're Broke 2", the robber tries to steal food from Kyle's house, only to realize that he has knockoff versions of recognizable food items on account of being broke. [[HowIsThatEvenPossible Even oranges (or "yellows" as their knockoff is called)!]]
* WhenIWasYourAge: In the "When Our Generation Gets Old" series, Kyle's grandfather frequently mentions what things were like when he was younger. This is all PlayedForLaughs, as he was young during the early 21st Century, and he's old in the future, where there is advanced technology and modern-day pop culture is taught in school.
