As the channel took off, those drawings improved drastically and the stock photos became a mix of those same photos but with a channel-themed watermark, fanart, and drawings of those stock characters but as a man in a top hat and suit.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: He quickly regretted the decision to make it so that every time someone died in his 100 Prisoners in 100 Days Challenge, their body would burst into flames. As he also occupied his prison with exclusively super-strong, super-tough and super-aggressive legendary inmates. A single one of which is capable of killing entire groups of guards single-handedly even without a weapon conjured almost out of thin air.
* EvilBrit: PlayedForLaughs in most cases. Casually admitting more than once his love of video games keep him from becoming some kind of supervillain. Lampshaded with his "IRL infinite money exploit"; a hypothetical Kickstarter-funded theme park no one can leave because a one-way "no entry" sign on the inside of the park entrance requires breaking the rules to leave. And no one would want to break the rules would they?
