12
13	* BerserkButton: Mehdi has some.
14	** Saying that electric current kills people.
15	** Fake DIY projects.
16	** Free-energy devices is a really big one.
17	** Spelling his name "Medhi".

19	* ClusterBleepBomb: He is known for swearing when things go wrong or when he gets hurt, and the swears are usually censored.
20	* DontTryThisAtHome: A constant refrain....right before he tries it at home. And probably shocks himself.
21	* ElectricTorture: Mehdi constantly gets electrocuted in most of his videos.
22	* EnforcedPlug: In many videos, he stops to talk about the sponsor of the video. For an example, he plugs Brilliant in his "Making Cooler/Generator with Thermoelectric Device" video.

30	* MadeOfIron: Mehdi constantly endures whatever pain he feels, no matter how bad it is.
31	* PlotDetour:
32	** In many videos, sometimes the main crux is deviated from due to him causing short circuits and stuff blowing up.

34	* RunningGag:
35	** "FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!"
36	** Mehdi accidentally grabbing an air horn when he needs a fire extinguisher
37	* SigningOffCatchphrase: On some videos, Mehdi would say "...and thank you for watching" at the end.
38	* StuffBlowingUp: Mainly capacitors but all sorts of electrical components fall apart.
39	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Whenever Mehdi does something he knows is going to shock him.
