Life of Luxury
is a YouTube channel following a Paranormal Investigation format: in each episode, Parker Hajiaskari and Chester Beckington receive an email (sometimes with a video footage) by victims who have some unnatural encounters.
Alternate channels are LuxuryPranks, LuxuryDark and LuxuryLight.
Life of Luxury provides examples of:
- Adaptational Dumbass: While in Life of Luxury Chester is overall the one who always points out how things are really wrong and doesn't want to get into troubles, in LuxuryDark and in LuxuryLight he is the one always getting himself and Parker in troubles.
- Black Comedy: There's an underlying element of parody to the series, regardless of how spooky it is.
- Butt-Monkey: If the duo ever gets attacked, it's usually Chester to suffer the consequences.
- Downer Ending: Most episodes end with our "heroes" fleeing the house they’ve been called to while the occupants are left to their fates at the hands of the Monster of the Week.
- Monster of the Week: Each video features a different and independent antagonist. However, Tommy is so far the only antagonist to appear in more than one episode.
- Paranormal Investigation: The main channel follows this formula, with Parker and Chester going to investigate unnatural activities.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: How most episodes end, with Parker and Chester leaving when things get too spooky for them.
- Serial Escalation: As the series continues, the monsters get more inhuman and the overall series Darker and Edgier.
- Stealth Parody: It plays the paranormal investigation angle completely straight, and the monsters encountered are genuinely terrifying, but the straight-faced antics of the two leads push the series into such darkly comedic territory that one can't help but think that the series was actually meant to be a satire of paranormal investigation shows.
