Some recurring characteristics of Isaac Baranoff's work:
- Anti-Humor: Baranoff's writing and comedy often makes use of "Shaggy Dog" Story structure, often with non-sequitur punchlines.
- Brutal Honesty: Baranoff's writing often features at least one character who openly and bluntly says what others won't dare to.
- Deadpan Snarker: Baranoff's writing and comedy often makes use of sarcasm and irony to make satirical points.
- Eccentric Artist: Baranoff prefers to stay in character as part of a public persona that he will abandon every few years, committing to the bit without letting his audience in on it and refusing to break character until he gets tired of it.
- The Gadfly: Much like Norm Macdonald and Andy Kaufman, Baranoff has a history of public statements that intentionally blur the line between irony and sincerity in a way that often makes it difficult to tell when he is in Sincerity Mode or Sarcasm Mode.
- Refuge in Audacity: Baranoff's writing and comedy often employs shock humor as a form of transgression to underline satirical points.
