12	!!Akfamilyhome provides examples of the following tropes:
13	* AprilFoolsDay:
14	** In 2019, Ak released a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' video parodying WebAnimation/SuperMario64Bloopers.
15	** His 2020 core video subverts this; while he did concept doing his video on Nintendo's publishing history in Hong Kong entirely in Chinese, he quits a minute in due to not wanting to film the same video twice.
16	* AuthorAvatar: He has an avatar of a glasses-wearing [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Bob-omb Buddy]] that appears on the intro of his videos.
17	* AuthorAppeal: Loves referencing games like ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven'' (and rhythm games in general), ''VideoGame/{{Warioware}}, ''Creator/HALLaboratory's library (particularly ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'', ''VideoGame/BoxBoy'', and ''VideoGame/PartTimeUFO''), and smaller Nintendo titles like ''VideoGame/{{Pushmo}}''.
18	* BrickJoke: At the start of the R.O.B. review, Akfamilyhome comments that he was expecting R.O.B. to talk to him in an obligatory ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' reference. R.O.B. stays radio silent... until the very end of the video, where he inexplicably begins talking, freaking out Akfamilyhome.
19	* TheCameo: In the R.O.B. episode, AK calls up WebVideo/ScottTheWoz to play 2-player ''Gyromite'' on his Famicom, only to be turned down since Scott only plays the NES version.
20	* CoverVersion: Akfamilyhome frequently posts music covers that are made in ''[[VideoGame/{{WarioWare}} WarioWare D.I.Y.]]'' Some of these covers are of ''VideoGame/{{Rhythm Heaven}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon 2}}'', ''Series/{{LazyTown}}'', and more.
21	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Akfamilyhome's earliest videos were about funny [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows Windows]] errors and ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' content. He didn't even upload his first Let's Play series until four and a half years after the creation of the channel.
22	* ExtremelyShortIntroSequence: His intro sequence is about 10 seconds long.
23	* FreezeFrameBonus:
24	** In the beginning of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N998yHigvTk "A look at the Virtual Boy"]], he watches a Virtual Boy meme on his laptop. In the bottom left, the uploader is shown to be "A Doofus" with Akfamilyhome's profile picture, and the description reads "Unpause the video and continue watching you dummy".
25	*** Later in the same video. After he took a Jab at ''Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash'', it cut to a comedy show-style credit sequence listing things such as "God Himself: Virtual Boy" and "The guy pausing the video: You".
26	* GilliganCut: His ''[=PDI Check=]'' video shows Ak initially hesitant to even discuss the game, as after all, who would pay 99 dollars to make a video about a utility that he can't understand to its fullest extent? ...cut to him purchasing the app.
27	* InstrumentalThemeTune: The short, retro-style instrumental theme tune was composed by [[https://soundcloud.com/oxiceek/akfamilyhome-intro-theme Toxic Geek]].
28	* LevelEditor: In "Old Mario Flash Games", he mentions that he used to have a lot of fun making custom levels in the ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' fangame ''Super Mario Flash''. Some of the levels he made were titled "Maths Lesson", "Pipe And Die", and [[NostalgiaLevel "Original World 1-1"]].
29	* MoodWhiplash: In the ''AR Games'' episode, he finds a globe that he can shoot to spin around. He shoots it one too many times, and...
30	--> '''BOOM!'''\
31	''(The planet explodes, leaving a "'''Preserve our planet.'''" message in a red text box.)''\
32	[{{Beat}}]\
33	''(Cut to AK, solemn and crying in his bathtub.)''
34	* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: He includes one in the ''PDI Check'' episode to say that yes, this is a real, non-joke game that was sold for 99 US Dollars.
35	* ShoutOut: In the intro to "How Many Times Have I Paid For Super Mario Bros.?", he references WebVideo/JanMisali's video "how many Super Mario games are there?"
36	* {{Squee}}: His reaction video on the ''Super Mario'' 35th anniversary announcements is titled "AK freaks out about Mario games for 15 minutes", and its thumbnail has a picture of his avatar vibrating uncontrollably.
37	* SturgeonsLaw: This is discussed in "Old Mario Flash Games":
38	--->I still wanted to see how well these games have held up, and whether or not some of the games have aged over the years. Spoiler alert, most don't.
