He's known for his casual style with lots of improvisational humor. His ''Minecraft'' co-op series are largely filled with aimless or laid-back conversations with the other Yogs and not a lot of progress. He also plays banter-filled rounds of ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' minigames with Hat Films and Turps, such as ''VideoGame/PropHunt'', ''VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown'' and ''Murder''. Even in his solo series, he frequently has humorous one-sided conversations laced with sarcasm and profanity towards the characters (and in some cases, inanimate objects) in the games he plays.

Popular series include "An Evening With Sips" where he plays a new game each episode, and {{Lets Play}}s of ''{{Dig-n-Rig}}'', ''VideoGame/OrcsMustDie'' and ''VideoGame/AtomZombieSmasher''. There's also 3 animated series; ''WebAnimation/{{Spacemen}}'', ''Squires'' and ''WebAnimation/{{Ninjas}}''.
Another one of his popular series is a LetsPlay of ''{{Towns}}''; notably, the developers of ''Towns'' added him into the game as a hero, Sips the Campmaker, who has the ability to summon the ghost of Sadon. [[note]]The name is a reference to a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' [=YoGPoD=], in which Sips spent the majority of the adventure setting up camp, while the ghost of Sadon references his playthrough of Towns in his first town, Sipsville.[[/note]]

Sips is a [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] and a member of the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}. At some point before he made gaming videos for them, Sips worked as the Yogscast's web designer.
He collaborates with LetsPlay/{{Sjin}} on both vanilla and modded ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' series, though he has taken several breaks from ''Minecraft'' content to avoid burning himself out. Since October 2013, he's started a Skyblock vanilla series with LetsPlay/HatFilms.
His ''Minecraft'' co-op series are largely filled with aimless or laid-back conversations with Sjin or Hat Films' Sirs and not a lot of progress. He also plays banter-filled rounds of ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' minigames with Hat Films and LetsPlay/{{Turpster}}, such as ''VideoGame/PropHunt'', ''VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown'' and ''Murder''. Even in his solo series, he frequently has humorous one-sided conversations laced with sarcasm and profanity towards the characters (and in some cases, inanimate objects) in the games he plays.
He has done a bit of voice work for web animation shows. He voiced the blue spaceman in ''WebAnimation/{{Spacemen}}'' and the blue ninja, "the Burrito Bushido", in ''WebAnimation/{{Ninjas}}''.

!!Sips provides examples of these tropes:
* BadBadActing: His IncomingHam in the [=BlueXephos=] channel's Jaffa Factory series. Weirdly, Sips' normal voice almost never changes, including later on in this series, but here, he acts like a really furious boss.
* BadBoss: He clearly has a lot of fun with this trope in the Tekkit playthrough with Lewis and Simon, given how it is PlayedForLaughs and taken UpToEleven. He fires [[spoiler:Sjin just because Lewis is nearby]], and when the latter is settling in with the former's job, he is told how workers have a Christmas Party once a century with no holidays; this is in turn followed by the revelation that they work for limited pay and for 20 hour days; this is all [[UpToEleven just before he is given five minutes to collect 30,000 bits of dirt]].
** Much later, in his ''Skyrim'' series, he ordered [[TheComicallySerious Uthgerd The Unbroken]] to shackle herself to a dungeon wall.
--> '''Uthgerd:''' [[ICantUseTheseThingsTogether Nope. Not possible.]]
* BigYes / BigNo: In [[http://youtu.be/pIcU3w1F4tw?t=6m30s this]] episode of HappyWheels. Switches quickly from the former to the latter, then back again.
* ButtMonkey / TheChewToy: Sips, in spite of his ComedicSociopathy, is often the butt of the joke in other people's series, albeit not so much in his own. "Sipsgate" is pretty much the chief example.
* CanadaEh
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** "You magnificent/beautiful bastard," or describing something as "fantastic".
** "It's gotta be said." / "It's gotta be known."
** Something being "not the best" when it isn't.
* CloudCuckoolander: Some of his rambling divergences can be seen as this, particularly when playing alone or with Sjin.
* ColorCodedElements: His Website/YouTube page's colour scheme is brown, after his dirt factory in his Tekkit series.
* ComicallySmallBribe: In the Yogscast Civ V series, Sips attempts to make Lewis betray his long-time ally Sjin for... One crab.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: PlayedForLaughs in Simon and Lewis' Tekkit series following the firing of [[spoiler:Sjin from his company]]. The subversion comes when he disapproves of industrial sabotage as [[spoiler:Lewis just admits to having stolen resources from his old company, Honeydew Inc.]] DoubleSubverted when he then says, immediately afterwards no less, that he favours it if it benefits him.
* {{Corpsing}}: You can hear him in the background of the [=BlueXephos=] channel Tekkit episode where Simon [[spoiler:meets Sjin's giant "god" head]] trying not to laugh. You can hear him trying not to laugh again [[spoiler:when it's revealed that Sjin has been manipulating Sips through the "god" head too.]]
* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Most of he and Sjin's knowledge on pop culture sounds like they pulled it straight out of their own asses. Though it's most likely on purpose given their status as trolls.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: At gaming in general. The best example would be when he's playing "Race for the Wool" on Sjin, Lewis and Duncan's team and he proves a pretty effective archer after [[OneManArmy Sjin]] is eventually ran down.
* [[spoiler:DeadAllAlong]]: In episode 58 of the vanilla ''Minecraft'' series, [[spoiler:it's revealed that Sips died a few episodes ago in lava, and his ghost has just been hanging around with Sjin.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: It helps that his voice almost never changes.
* DissonantSerenity: His voice never changes. Ever. Sometimes PlayedForLaughs.
* DoubleEntendre: Plenty. Usually contributes to the HoYay[=/=]FauxYay.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: His ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' skin, which has unhealthy-looking grey skin. It's a skin condition!
* {{Egopolis}}: Sipsco Game Developement, Sipsco Dirt Factory, Sips City, Sipsville, San Fransipsco, the Mississipsi River... the list goes on and on, friends.
* GagPenis: The Space Penis.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: At the very least, he and Sjin are this.
* LemonyNarrator: Very often.
* MegaTwintails / ImprobableHairstyle: Sips tweet [[http://twitter.com/Sips_/status/235779541744898049/photo/1 this]] RealLife example from Gamescom.
* TheNicknamer: In Sips and Sjin's Tekkit series, calls Duncan "Goggle Boy", Lewis "Silk Shirt Guy" and Endermen "Skinny Guy".
* PerpSweating: In Sips and Sjin's ''{{Minecraft}}'' LetsPlay, Sjin and Sips build an interrogation room for this purpose. With an um, stripper pole.
** GoodCopBadCop: Sjin as the good cop, and Sips as the bad cop. [[spoiler:Except for when Sjin breaks character and starts swearing at Udders.]] They switch roles later.
* PutOnABus: Fernando by the beginning of Sips' second ''Towns'' series.
** Sips himself in the Sipsco Space Program series when he was replaced by a [[PaperThinDisguise poorly made]] clone named _Zips, while Sips was [[spoiler:trapped on Mars]]. The RealLife reason being that Sips became bored with Minecraft and wanted to focus on new content, as he explains [[http://www.reddit.com/r/sips/comments/1tip4h/s/ce8gxay here]] on reddit
* RunningGag:
** Before he fixed it, Sips' "toaster mic".
** The extremely awkward string of "bye"s at the end of Minecraft videos.
** Sips making fun of Juliana's weight in his Towns playthrough. [[spoiler:Even after she dies.]]
** In his Tekkit videos:
--> '''Sips''': "...Uranium."
--> '''Sjin''': "Whose Ranium?"
--> '''Sips''': "My Ranium"
--> '''Sjin''': "What are you doing in Tehran?"
** Sjin making a ''Literature/HarryPotter'' reference and Sips having no idea what he's talking about.
** Closeup shots of Uthgerd with creepy music in his ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' series.
** Also in his Skyrim series, putting buckets on people's heads after killing them to MakeItLookLikeAnAccident.
** Sips doesn't livestream, he pre-records the gameplay and streams it with a voiceover.
* {{Scandalgate}}: Sipsgate, of course.
* ScheduleSlip: The vanilla {{Minecraft}} LetsPlay with Sjin suffered quite a long hiatus, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbEeKdH00XY came back]] after nearly four months.
** OrphanedSeries: According to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT1SIdQdogs&lc=TGJiEYq0EPtryQHI4q16wUUHBPBmGLSV38Pt_XicApQ&feature=g-user-c this]] comment, the reason his other series like ''{{Towns}}'', ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'', and ''[[VideoGame/OrcsMustDie Orcs Must Die! 2]]'' haven't been updated is because he lost his hard drive and all of his saved games.
*** Monkey Island has recently been continued through thanks to the discovery of the save in cloud storage online
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Sips, completely cornered in a game of Worms Reloaded, just gives up and has his last worm jump into the water.
-->Sips: You know what? Fuck you guys. Fuck this game. Fuck you. *jumps*
* ShoutOut: [[ASongOfIceAndFire You do not want to wake up the dragon,]] Quackers.
* SuddenlyVoiced: [[spoiler:Udders, Rashers, and Quackers]], who are voiced by Ravvs, Nilesy, and Lalna respectively. Also [[spoiler:Terry "the Heater" Tibbs who is... an oven.]]
* SurrealHumor: Any commentator who can go into detail about the Beaver Mafia bombing their house probably deserves a mention.
** Whenever he and Sjin talk about movies and start throwing in random actors and plotlines.
** His descriptions of his [[VideoGame.GameDevTycoon Game Dev Tycoon]] creations are made of this. For example, there's Planet Uppercut, a ScienceFiction RealTimeStrategy where the combatants invented space flight but not weapons and thus their entire armies fight by [[GoodOldFisticuffs uppercutting]] each other.
* {{Troll}}:
** His Anno 2070 antics, where he wasted his team's money just to pave an island. [[CrossesTheLineTwice And then he drew a troll face on it.]]
** He [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iScd030uJ0 interrupts a livestream]] several times for no good reason other than checking how loud his mic is.
** In The Walls ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' map, he and Sjin decide to not do any real preparation for battle and create a big "[[AC:EAT SHIT]]" sign in their area instead.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: His child, [[ShoutOut Poopfeast 420]] [[note]]This is a ''really'' popular name originating from fans of professional-level ''VideoGame/StarcraftII'', after [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmqs_6CBzcU&feature=player_detailpage#t=25s this video from commentator Artosis.]][[/note]].
* XtremeKoolLetterz: Initially put an underscore in his Minecraft name since someone else had taken the name Sips. Now he keeps it [[MundaneMadeAwesome just because.]]
