* IKnowYourTrueName: Defied. 2 has ranted before about how people think that knowing his real name is "Matthew Davis" somehow has a power over him. While pretty much everyone calls him "2" (including his own mother), he doesn't really mind being referred to as "Matthew"; he'd just prefer you call him "2" instead.

* LighterAndSofter: Several of his rants and rant videos are about personal annoyances that he's encountered as opposed to cultural problems. One rant was about how a woman annoyed him when he was trying to buy olives at a grocery store.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: He kind of loses the plot towards the end of his rant about yiffing (specifically, that he wishes people would put more effort into it). 2 then just ends the rant, saying he wants everyone to pretend he was going somewhere with it.
