* BreadEggsMilkSquick:

* DeepFriedWhatever: In ''Cooking Simulator'', Josh deep-fries a ''fire extinguisher''... [[StuffBlowingUp with predictable results]].

* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Josh is a sadist who gladly tortures [=NPCs=] in the games he plays for fun, but even he has shown limits to what he'll accept. One noticeable instance of this is in the Streamers Company Tycoon game, where he refused to make any of the streamer girls into sex objects.

!!This show provides examples of:

->''Ooooh God yes! It's like confetti but with bodies! Happy Birthday to us!''

!! This show provides examples of:

* BadBoss: If he's given workers to manage, it's guaranteed that he'll treat them as psychotically as he would any other NPC. This is best shown in his video on ''Overcrowd'', where the subway's entire staff ends up depressed, fatigued and dropping like flies due to Josh's meddling.
-->'''Josh:''' Well now that you're free, Williams, I need you to go fill up these gas things. [[CaptainObvious You might also wanna go get your head checked out]], but like... [[KickTheDog do that on your own time]].

* {{BFG}}: During his shenanigans in Planet Coaster, Josh constructs a gigantic double-barreled shotgun. What does it fire? Unwilling volunteers plucked from the park vistiors, of course.

* BlackComedyAnimalCruelty: In addition to practically everything he does to animals in Planet Zoo, a later video of his Satisfactory playthrough has Josh befriending lizard doggos, using them to carry stacks of toxic waste, and using jump pads to launch them off a cliff.

* BrickJoke: In his ''Project: Zomboid'' video, at one point Josh [[RecursiveReality makes his character watch Let's Game it Out]] on the TV, which ends when the TV Josh opens the door to some zombies and gets eaten while trying to figure out if there's a limit to something. Then, at the end of the video, Josh hears the doorbell, and proceeds to open the door... with the same result.

** He also has a nonverbal catchphrase in the form of '''"X Time Later,"''' which usually pops up immediately after he says he'll be back in a second. It can go anywhere from a few minutes to several ''days''-- or in the case of ''Settlement Survival'', 19,577 years!

* DestructiveSavior: There are few forces of chaos as strong as Josh deciding to 'help' an NPC. Typically this will result in either massive damage the entire game space around the aided character or trapping them in some kind of hellish situation he's interpreted as an improvement.

* FadingAway: The very early videos of ''Let's Game It Out'' had silhouettes of Josh and Anthony on the thumbnails until Anthony's began to slowly disappear, signifying his leave from the channel, until it was just only Josh.

** In ''Smartphone Tycoon'' he ends up with almost a quintillion dollars, or 10,000 times the GDP of Earth.

* GameBreakingBug: Breaking games is Josh's shtick. He is ''very'' good at it. Which can, if Josh abuses the game too much, lead to the entire game shutting down due to this or frame-rate suffering too much. After a while you start to suspect that the reason so many developers send him keys to alpha builds and early access releases is so he'll find these.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: If it can feasibly be used as a weapon, Josh will use as one. Special mention goes to his playthrough of Valheim, where his primary weapon of choice is the ''Campfire,'' to the point where he actually kills two bosses with it.

* MamaBear: A literal example shows up near the end of his first playthrough of ''Raft'', where after killing a bear cub who [[PoorCommunicationKills just wanted to greet Josh]] its mother comes to kill him. She ''succeeds''.
* MoralityChain: Implied. When Anthony was around, the channel was a mundane and normal gaming channel with Josh seemingly as a normal person. After Anthony left however, Josh quickly became a SoftSpokenSadist that went out of his way to break games and torment [=NPCs=].
* MedievalStasis: In Settlement Survival, 19,577 years pass because Josh wants to see how long his development gauges takes to fill if he does nothing. He is disappointed that the settlers look no different when it finally fills.

* OverlyLongGag: At one point in ''Youtubers Life'', Josh finds how to make collabs with someone. He proceeds to try to make a collab with a Youtuber woman. She doesn't accept, but Josh starts thinking it's because she doesn't like him enough. So he proceeds to improve relationships with her, making him an acquaintance, only to find out it's still not enough. So he proceeds to become her friend, then fills out her "friend" bar, then her special friend, then her boyfriend, then her fiancé, while she refuses to collab at every step, and ends up marrying her only to find out [[ShaggyDogStory she STILL refuses to collab!]] He then proceeds to try to collab with one of his in-game coworkers... who accepts on the first try.

** Whenever the avatar he's playing had sustained injuries, life-threatening or not, he reassures them with a "You're okay/fine..."

** Josh appears to *love* mazes and builds them a lot, just like tornadoes.

* YankTheDogsChain: Happens a lot, especially when dealing with Grace. In ''Foundation'', he withholds giving his citizen houses for almost the whole video, but finally caves in and give them plots... on an island on the other side of the river. So he builds a bridge... that crosses the island, but doesn't actually stop in it. So he builds a whole maze of bridges, spanning the entire map. None of which actually go to the right island. Finally, he decides to build a bridge that goes there for real... but not before burying the island in a maze of gates. But at long last, they can reach their plots and build a house! ...Or at least before Josh decides to bury them with even more gates.

** Intentionally in Cooking Simulator, he turns on everything despite it always burning out, and unintentionally constantly breaking plates due to struggling with the game physics.

** In ''Startup Company'', the name of Josh's CEO is Chad "[extremely long copypasta]" Broski. Every time the full name appears, it's so long, it doesn't even fit on the screen.

** Also from ''Satisfactory'' is the Hugmaster 9000: Two giant arms made out of remote explosives attached to the comically tiny and easy-to-tip-over factory car. Fortunately for Josh, explosives in the game will only explode when you press a detonator because it didn't take long for him to tilt over and get stuck.

* BeyondTheImpossible: One of Josh's specialties. As elaborated below, Josh's favorite thing is to find the limits of the games he plays and then immediately break them. For example, in ''Smartphone Tycoon'', he ends up selling nearly ''5 '''billion''''' times more smartphones than there are ''people on Earth''.

*** Sometimes a TimeSkip is preceded by the phrase '''"Hold, please!"''', often indicating Josh is about to spend an absurdly long amount of time on an absurdly overdone project...or painting the wall of his kitchen in food dye, that works too.

* DeepFriedWhatever: In ''Cooking Simulator'', Josh deep-fries a ''fire extinguisher'' ... [[StuffBlowingUp with predictable results]].

* YankTheDogsChain: Happens a lot, especially when dealing with Grace. In ''Foundation'', he withholds giving his citizen houses for almost the whole video, but finally caves in and give them plots... on an island on the other side of the river. So he builds a bridge... that crosses the island, but doesn't actually stop in it. So he builds a whole maze of bridges, spanning the entire map. None of which actually go to the right island. Finally, he decides to build a bridge that goes there for real... but not before burying the island in a maze of gates. But at long last, they can reach their plots and build a house!... Or at least before Josh decides to bury them with even more gates.

* ZombieApocalypse: While Project Zomboid already involves this, Josh makes his own zombie hoard of bare-chested men with jorts and neon socks...and then sets them on fire to lead them through the entire neighborhood.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCto7D1L-MiRoOziCXK9uT5Q/videos Let's Game it Out]]'' is a Let's Play series hosted by a man only known as Josh in which he plays video games in all the wrong ways. Rules are broken and bent, items are stolen through loopholes, impassible barriers are broken, logic is thrown out the window, framerates are destroyed, and sadism and torture ensue toward the innocent [=NPCs=], helpless animals and, of course, to Grace. All in the name of seeing how far a game will let him go. Please pray for his hard drive.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Whenever he's the CEO of a company, profit comes first, employee wellbeing comes last, and customer well-being is not exactly a priority.
