Little sketches often intervene, featuring his two sidekicks Gilles Stella (the show's image and sound manager) and Jérémy Morvan, or Kamel Debbiche, [[TalkingToThemself a double of him]] from an AlternateUniverse. The show is pretty fast-paced, and often draws its humour from it. Crossed's run wasn't very long, as Karim hadn't planned on making more than 25-30 episodes, to avoid a situation [[EndingFatigue where he would have always been repeating the same things after a while]].

* QuestionableCasting:
** InUniverse, during the ''[[Film/AloneInTheDark2005 Alone in the Dark]]'' review, it is how Karim reacts to [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005346/ Tara Reid]] being the archaeologist Aline Cedrac.
** This is also how he reacted to Christopher Lambert not reprising his role as Raiden in ''Film/MortalKombatAnnihilation''. Because Lambert was working on ''Film/Beowulf1999'', [[EpicFail probably the worst film of his career.]]
