| 17 | !!Includes the following tropes: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * DeconstructiveParody: Several of the projects he has been a part of follow this trope. |
| 20 | ** ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' is a darkly comedic deconstruction of just about anything pop-culture related |
| 21 | ** ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' deconstructs many old-school moral and authority values by showing the toxicities of living in a strict world like that. |
| 22 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'' deconstructs summer blockbusters, MerchandiseDriven franchises, and chosen one stories. |
| 23 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie'' deconstructs the character of Batman in general! |
| 24 | ** ''Film/{{Renfield|2023}}'' is a comedic take on the classic ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'' novel. It also deconstructs the very relationship between Dracula and his [[TheRenfield servant Renfield]] by showing that a literal monster who forcibly turns his partner into simply a mindless henchmen can become an emotionally manipulative, abusive, and co-dependent relationship overtime. |
| 25 | * SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: His early television work like ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' and ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' are planted on the cynical end. The films he has directed on the other hand have leaned far on the idealistic side. |
