1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: His intro theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcBczFC06YQ The Pinnacle of Flame]] by Real Faction Music of ''VideoGame/CastleCrashers'' fame.
2* BrokenBase: ''Top Ten Saddest Video Game Moments'' is either considered one of his best countdowns because of how it was a serious departure from what he usually worked on or doesn't hold up by the standards he would set in his later videos.
3* CatharsisFactor: Apparently, doing his Hades Riffs on [[OldShame his Double Top 5]] was this for him.
4* EnsembleDarkhorse:
5** The inclusion of his friend Chewie in ''Top 15 Worst Pokemon'' was a well-received decision among his viewers. Many liked his witty personality and the comedic dynamic between him and Alex throughout the video. As such many people wanted to see Chewie appear in a video again and as such he was brought back in two other collaborative countdowns.
6** The Beer Guy from Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Drink Beer as seen in MemeticMutation blow. Would become an AscendedMeme as he would appear in other videos and even one of Josh's countdowns.
7* GrowingTheBeard:
8** Depends on which of his fans you're talking to. For his older fans its ''Top Ten Most Despised Characters in Video Games'' which was the first countdown he narrated vocally, for some its ''Top 25 No More Heroes Bosses'' where many have found that is where he began to find a style for himself, or ''Top Ten Nostalgic Animated Series'' which was when his countdowns started to become more diverse.
9** As his countdown making career progressed he began to literally grow the beard.
10* HilariousInHindsight: In ''Top 15 Worst Pokemon'', one of Alex's insults towards Finneon and Lumineon were that they deserved to be eaten by seagulls. Finneon's Pokedex entry in ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' reveals that they are preyed upon by Wingull, a seagull Pokemon.
11* MemeticMutation: '''[[LargeHam BEEEEER!!!!!!!]]'''[[note]]On April Fool's Day 2011, Alex uploaded a joke countdown titled Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Drink Beer that he actually did for a class project. The countdown was under the persona of a LargeHam narrator known as The Beer Guy who frequently shouted BEEER!!! Not only would this become a recurring element of Alex's videos, but many fans would leave beer related comments in his videos.[[/note]]
12* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome:
13** His Website/YouTube career as a whole count as one. Initially starting off making text videos in Windows Movie Maker, and then making fully voiced videos with some amazing editing, all the while being the one who kickstarted the trend of video game related countdowns on Website/YouTube.
14** Him and Chewie fighting the Demonic Burmy at the end of Top Fifteen Worst Pokémon. Likewise the huge battle involving him, Chewie, and Josh at the end of Top 25 Final Bosses in Video Games as well as Josh's unexpected appearance.
