Tear is known for his distinct commentary and editing style which includes various [[VisualPun visual]] and [[StockSoundEffects audio effects]], [[ReferenceOverdosed pop culture references]], excessive use of rather [[FloweryInsults creative]] [[StockBritishPhrases British]] [[VulgarHumor swearwords]], hilariously [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny bad jokes]] and [[PungeonMaster puns]] and his unmistakable accent. He regularly submits himself to torture through various [[SelfImposedChallenge video game challenges]], all of it [[SadistShow for the entertainment his viewers]]. He also highly enjoys editing his videos and prioritizes [[QuantityVsQuality quality over frequency]], which often results in {{schedule slip}}-ups. To remedy this, as of June 2016 Tear has hired other editors, and as of 2022, he has also hired an editing team in form of Zygo Media to further lighten the load.
