* AccentuateTheNegative: The whole point of Evil Craig in the "Reasons We Hate" series.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Evil Craig has shown shades of this in his "17 Reasons We Hate Creator/{{Konami}}" video, citing his disapproval of their treatment of Creator/HideoKojima twice.
* [[CuteKitten Everything's Cuter With Kittens]] in order to attempt to justify ''VideoGame/GoldenEye1997 007'' to be on top of their top 10 lists, they use kittens.

* {{Jerkass}}: Evil Craig, whose show is about being as negative as possible.

[=ScrewAttack=] was a video game-related website that showcased original entertainment for an audience of video game enthusiasts. Its content was also shown on [=GameTrailers=] and IGN. The name and logo came from the "screw attack" ability from the ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' series. Their fanbase was affectionately called "g1s", based in part of an old radio term. They've even developed a couple of games; a MobilePhoneGame called ''The Texting of the Bread'' (an obvious parody of ''[[VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead Typing of the Dead]]'') and ''VideoGame/AngryVideoGameNerdAdventures'' (a retro-styled platformer based on ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'').

* ''The Game Heroes'' (started on [=ScrewAttack=], moved to Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses)

On October 10, 2016, [=ScrewAttack=] announced that Craig, Shaun, Bryan and Parker left to start a new, corporately separate (but still part of Rooster Teeth) gaming channel, [[https://youtube.com/user/GameAttack Game Attack.]] On May 1, 2017, Game Attack was revealed to have gone fully independent of both [=ScrewAttack=] and Rooster Teeth.

* ''WebVideo/TheGameHeroes'' (started on [=ScrewAttack=], moved to Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses)

** Also invoked for comedy in the "Video Game Vault" for ''VideoGame/ChuckRock'': In the game, the titular character attacks enemies by bouncing his belly at them. Craig interprets this as Chuck whacking enemies with his penis.

* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: When discussing Centaur Man in ''VideoGame/MegaMan6'':
--> '''Craig''': You are a man, who is a horse, who is a robot, making you Manhorsemanbot! Mmhmm. (tongue noise)

** A non-snarky one appeared before the Video Game Vault of ''Faceball 2000'', saying people who experience seizures from rapid flashings shouldn't watch the video.

* DearNegativeReader: Invoked in the Video Game Vault of ''Color a Dinosaur'', Craig made fun of the fact that this was Music/TommyTallarico's first game as sound designer/composer. Mid-video, Tommy Tallarico himself Skype'd Craig and defended himself, saying that he had a really tight deadline and not given much to work with. When a sheepish Craig tried to apologize, Tommy hung up on him.

* DisproportionateRetribution: In-universe, Stuttering Craig ''shot'' Bryan Baker, one of three reviewers who took his place while he was gone.

* HehHehYouSaidX: Subverted in the Video Game Vault review of ''S.C.A.T.'' on NES: Craig pointed out the elephant in the room right away: "Ha ha, "scat" means "poop", ha ha", only to say that the people who laughed at the title probably never actually played the game to discover it's pretty good.

* TheInsomniac: Craig is one in the Video Game Vault review of ''Super Troll Islands'' after being disturbed by it.

* LargeHam: Nervous Nick in the ''3D Dinosaur Adventure'' Video Game Vault.
--> '''Nick''': OH. MY. GOSH! DINOSAURS IN 3D! IT'S SO AWESOME! IT'S THE WAY OF THE FUTURE! IT'S DINOSAURS IN THREE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

* MoodWhiplash: Craig's review of ''Izzy's Quest For the Olympic Games'' is mostly a normal review until he brings up how Richard Jewell, the guy that was initially suspected of being behind the 1996 Olympics bombing, died.
* MotorMouth: In the "Video Game Vault" of ''Wrestlemania 2000'' when Craig waxed nostalgic about pro wrestling:
--> '''Craig''': Remember Test, and how he was in love with Stephanie and fought Shane at Summer Slam just to stay with her, only to see Triple H steal her away before Vince [=McMahon=] tried to have her married to the Undertaker but that didn't happen because Stone Cold saved the day? It was classic!

* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: When praising an offbeat enemy in ''Sonic Blast Man'':
--> '''Craig''': The video game world needs more games with grenade-farting robots.

* {{Revenge}}: In the Video Game Vault of ''Trojan'', Craig tells a story from his childhood about how he traded games with another kid from the neighborhood; they got ''Metroid'' and he got ''Trojan''. Unfortunately for Craig, the kid never returned ''Metroid''. Twenty-some years later, Craig is fed up and visits the guy's house, beats him up and takes his ''Metroid'' back. Plus another game for good measure.

* ShoutOut: In the ''Wrestlemania 2000'' Video Game Vault, Craig (a pro wrestling fan in real life) called out a user who bashed Screw Attack in the style of Wrestling/DwayneJohnson:
--> '''Craig''': Talkin' smack out of your ass about how we don't love our millions... you don't know crap! If ya smelalalalalalalalaaaa..... what Craig... is cookin'.
* TheSociopath: In-universe: PlayedForLaughs after Craig shot Bryan Baker. He casually sits down on the couch and notices the game he was about to review: "Oh sweet, ''VideoGame/{{BOB}}''!"
* SongParody: Craig made new lyrics to the ''VideoGame/BuckBumble'' theme song.

* {{Fandom}}: Of [[StreetFighter Zangief]], of all people.

* NiceHat: Stuttering Craig's cap.

* ThatCameOutWrong: In the Top 10 8-Bit Boss Themes, Craig said "''VideoGame/MegaMan2'', give it to me..... [[{{Corpsing}} not in that sexual way."]]

--> '''Craig''': And yes, he's got one of the most recognizable butts on the internet. (footage from the ''WesternAnimation/MegaMan'' cartoon is shown where Rush bites off a disguise, revealing Guts Man's butt underneath) Okay there, we said it. Now find a different joke, internet.

--> '''Craig''': [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} It's literally a whole new world, with no one to tell us "no" or where to go, or tell us that we're dreaming!]]

* DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound: Invoked. In the Video Game Vault about ''VideoGame/SpaceStationSiliconValley'', Craig (who wasn't reviewing the game but was in the office at the time Nervous Nick was reviewing it) got irritated at an ear-piercing sound effect in the game, and dared Nick to perform the sound again. When he did, Craig walked over and shut off the N64, despite Nick's pleads that he was really far in the game.
--> '''Nick''': This is going in the review.\\
'''Craig''': ...''Good''!

* EndOfAnAge: The 10/7/16 Top 10 is the last one Craig said he'll ever do, as he's going to start a new project with Shaun. To put this in perspective, Craig started the series ten years ago and narrated the majority of them.
