* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: {{Discussed|Trope}} In "The Simpsons is Good Again", where John reflects on how any show that goes on for a long period of time is bound to change, with the creators themselves changing and gaining new interests or perspectives that is reflected in the work, or simply moving on to other projects and leaving their work in the hands of different people. He points out that this is always bound to result in people dissatisfied with the thing they love changing, and how this is a phenomenon that was apparent in ''The Simpsons'' even back during its golden age by looking at old reviews from Season 6 of the show (frequently considered one of if not the best). He concludes that it's unreasonable to expect a show that lasted as long as the Simpsons to stay the same or maintain its old level of quality, and that it's questionable whether it makes sense to hold the new seasons to that standard considering how much of the world and people have changed in the decades since.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: In "The Bizarre Modern Reality of Sonic The Hedgehog", he lists Sonic-inspired 90s MascotWithAttitude video game characters... and includes Wrestling/ShawnMichaels in the list.

* AnAesop:
** {{Discussed|Trope}} in his ''Buying a PC With Dell'' video, which chronicles his frustrations and anxiety over him ordering a new PC that he couldn't get working properly and which he struggled with for months. Ultimately, he feels that if there was any real lesson to be had from his awful experience, it's that you shouldn't be afraid to acknowledge your limits and accept help from other people. He acknowledges that most of his problems came from making an uninformed decision and then trying to resolve it all on his own, whereas if he had asked help from his viewers or other knowledgeable people the whole thing could have been avoided.
** ''Influencer Courses Are Garbage: The Dark Side Of Content Creation'' ends on the message that aspiring content creators should focus on the things they ''want'' to make rather than what they feel they have to make. Youtube's system is designed to condition creators into emphasizing analytics and stats as it is, which influencer courses further exploit with vague jargon and outdated information to drain people of money and morale.

* OnceOriginalNowCommon: [[invoked]] Discussed in a few videos, such as the ones about ''Shenmue''. He notes how the first two ''Shenmue'' games were some of the first open-world titles to ever come out, and as such many aspects of its visuals and gameplay systems are not nearly as impressive now as they were back then, and in some cases have aged very poorly. This ties into one of his main criticisms about ''Shenmue 3'', that Yu Suzuki not bothering to pay attention to the modern videogame landscape and his refusal to learn from his successors led to ''Shenmue 3'' feeling extremely dated and creating a frustrating and tedious gameplay experience.

* CatchPhrase:
** ''"I want to talk...about _________."'' / ''"Let's talk...about _________."'' / ''"What say we talk...about _________?"''
** ''"Something _________ starts to happen..."''

* BlatantLies: While listing off wrestlers with terrible [[TheGimmick/ProfessionalWrestling gimmicks]] in ''Villains in Wrestling: Making People Hate You'', John brings up [[Wrestling/MikeShaw Bastion Booger]] and describes him as one of the WWE's biggest superstars, winning over legions of fans with his FatSlob persona and having a long and storied career with the company that led to him main-eventing with Wrestling/ShawnMichaels at ''[=WrestleMania=] XII''.
