Tropes used in George's videos:
- Alone with the Psycho:
- George whenever he's hunted by Dream. Dear God, Dream can sure as hell act like an absolute maniac when turning the tables in the usual Manhunt videos, but it's taken up to eleven when he's the one hunting George. Of note is this example from the "Speed Runner Vs Nether Hunter" video:Dream: (sounding utterly deranged) Nowhere to run! Nowhere to hide! You're a dead man walking!
- One commenter put it best in the "Speedrunner VS Mutant" episode (where Dream in-game has heightened senses he can use to detect what George's doing):"Watching Dream is like he's doing a challenge, watching George is like a survival horror game."

- And Now for Someone Completely Different: Across both Dream and George's channels, "Speedrunner VS Detective" is the only Manhunt in the entire series where Dream is absent, with the episode instead focusing on George and Bad.
- Better to Die than Be Killed: In the Nether Hunter video (19:33), when being chased by George, an outmatched Dream cuts his losses and jumps into a lava lake, taking his items to the grave with him.George: Dream, nooo!!
- Butt-Monkey: Geroge is arguably the Butt-Monkey of the Dream Team, first by being a guinea pig to a shock collar in this video, then being subjugated to endless tease in all three try not to laughvideos, not to mention that he is the usual victim to various humiliating physical suffering such as The Shirt challenge, The Marshmallow challenge and the Ice tub challenge
- Color Blind Confusion: George has severe protanomalynote , which puts him at a disadvantage in color-based mini-games. One example of this happens in "Minecraft Speedrunner VS 3 Hunters REMATCH", where Dream bluffs the hunters by drinking a Fire Resistance potion; George (the only one close enough to see the potion clearly) can't tell which color the potion particles are, and Bad soon after jumps to the conclusion that Dream drank a Strength potion. With George unable to correct him, he just goes along with that interpretation and runs for the hills.
- Death Trap: Several are made in "Minecraft Death Swap", where George and Dream make traps to try and kill each other when they swap places.
- Everything Trying to Kill You: In the Nether Hunter video, George complains that everything in the Nether fortress is against him. Given that being hit by a Wither Skeleton is what ultimately kills him after he finally opens some distance between himself and Dream, he's not too far off.
- Exact Words: In "Minecraft Speedrunner Vs Detective..." George thought BadBoyHalo destroyed the entire Nether portal. Bad says "I didn't break a single block of it." He actually buried the portal using Netherrack (what the Nether is made of), and it worked well enough that George didn't know where the portal was until he listened and heard it.
- Hoist by His Own Petard:
- The "Nether Hunter" video starts with George running for the hills with Dream unaware that he's already left, using one of Dream's own favorite Manhunt tactics against him.
- In the earlier "Speed Runner vs Assassin" video where George took on the role of the speedrunner, he abused the freezing mechanic to kill Dream much the same way Dream did in previous videos where George was the assassin. He even figured out how to do so in ways Dream hadn't come up with before, successfully killing him or forcing him to stop and recover health several times.
- In "Death Swap 3", Dream builds a trap that consists of a tiny box submerged in lava. George, thinking it's impossible to escape, decides to invoke this trope and just wait for the next swap to get out. Unfortunately for him, Dream averts this by building a second one and quickly escapes the original when the swap happens.
- Heroic Sacrifice: In the Minecraft: Zombie Apocalypse video, as George struggles to tower up away from the zombie apocalypse, Sapnap jumps in and dies to the horde to save him.
- Interface Spoiler: George cleverly averts this in the "Nether Hunter" video. After finding iron nuggets in a chest, George crafts them into an ingot, then immediately uses the ingot to make a shield without closing the crafting window. Because he never closed his inventory while he had an ingot on him, the game never gave him the "Acquire Hardware" achievement. This results in Dream being completely caught off guard upon running into George shortly afterward and continues to give him trouble throughout the rest of the manhunt.
- Loyal Animal Companion: In "Minecraft, But My Friend Is A Dog..." his friend Dream becomes this to George. He did it again in "Minecraft, But My Friend Is A Parrot...", and again in "Minecraft, But My Friend Is An Axolotl...".
- Opaque Lenses: George's Minecraft skin has a white rimmed sunglasses, nicknamed by other content creators as "clout goggles", as his trademark appearance.
- Screams Like a Little Girl:
- Though not frequent, he did hit those high notes in the two "Minecraft But I Get Shocked When I Lose Hearts" videos. He does this a lot more in "Minecraft Speedrunner vs Mutant".
- George repurposed his scream into a war cry in the "Speed Runner Vs Nether Hunter" video, and managed to catch Dream off guard.
- Though not frequent, he did hit those high notes in the two "Minecraft But I Get Shocked When I Lose Hearts" videos. He does this a lot more in "Minecraft Speedrunner vs Mutant
- Sole Survivor: In the "Minecraft: Zombie Apocalypse" video, George is the only one to survive the full hour.
- Touché: In the "Nether Hunter" video, George outsmarted Dream many times, with Dream thinking those battles were good for George.
- Troll: In the "Minecraft, But If You Laugh You Lose REMATCH" video, Dream codes it so that whenever George tries to mine a block of iron ore, it turns to stone, greatly annoying George. Later in the video, he puts a link to "Never Gonna Give You Up" in the chat, and relying on George to have memorized the link (he had), he starts playing the song in the game, which is implied to have been coded into a mod for the sake of trolling George. Throughout the video, he, Sapnap, and Karl kept pretending to be mobs, flying upwards whenever George (who was killing animals for food and/or collecting wool to make beds) hit or sheared them, and at one point, one of them turned into an enderman that went swimming in water, among many other things.
- Zombie Apocalypse: "Minecraft: Zombie Apocalypse" has George, Dream and Sapnap try to survive for 1 hour against a swarm of constantly-spawning zombies that can climb up walls and shoot arrows that break blocks.
