However, he also has a variety of other content, including music (both original songs and parodies of existing songs), non-political comedy videos, and gaming content.The channel has a few main series, in addition to the occasional break in the pattern: "Glasses Off", in which he discusses things from a more serious, out-of-character standpoint. "Ray Gun Recap", where he covers a bunch of recent events and gives his thoughts on them. "Weird Wide Web", covering silly internet content, both political and non-political.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Other recurring content includes his "Social Justice the Musical" videos, where he parodies songs to talk about political issues, and his Q&A videos, often involving one of his friends.His friends are perhaps the most notable recurring theme with this videos; much of the humor revolves around him speaking to his demonic llama-plushie Paul, or bothering his roommates and capturing their reactions on-camera.

Black Comedy | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: It's everywhere. Nearly every joke is a dark one, making fun of things like insane politics, suicide, impending nuclear war... | |

Suicide as Comedy | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_3104d34 | comment |
Suicide as Comedy: He makes quite a few jokes about killing himself, ranging from wearing a shirt that says "Kill Me", to his "1000 subscriber special" culminating a huge Bleach-drinking gag, in which he wandered around LA drinking from a Bleach bottle. note He was drinking water, of course. | |

The Mirror Shows Your True Self | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_35e2fb78 | comment |
The Mirror Shows Your True Self: The "personality" variant shows up in "Punch a Nazi"; the music video's protagonist looks in the mirror and sees themselves dressed as an SS Officer, who claims to be them, "but more honest." | |

Stable Time Loop | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_37690091 | comment |
Stable Time Loop: Parodied - "Zarna Joshi Vs. The World" breaks several rules of time travel by having Chris construct a time machine after he has already time-travelled back to the start of the video. This makes Chris infinite years old, and means he is locked in an closed loop of time-travel and amnesia. | |

Adorable Abomination: Whatever the hell Paul is, it's implied to be demonic in nature, and his different voices are said to be the multiple human souls he has consumed. | |

Laughing Mad | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_4ae690ca | comment |
Laughing Mad: In "Advertiser Friendly", he struggles to keep a cheerful facade while discussing insane or frustrating news articles. Once he stumbles upon "White Supremacist in NYC Sword Killing Charged with Murder as Terrorism", he cracks, and starts distressfully laughing while carrying a sword around, which at some points sounds more like crying than laughing. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Chris fired Paul for attacking him physically... so Paul infiltrated North Korea, tricked the Koreans and the Americans into having even worse relations, inspiring the Koreans to launch a nuke, aiming directly at Chris's new apartment. | |

Easy Amnesia | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_55b1f9a1 | comment |
Easy Amnesia: His "Zarna Joshi Vs. The World" video starts with a chair-roll that causes him to hit his head and forget what he was doing. He rewatches the video on his computer, talks about it, and then tries to do the chair-roll again... which makes him hit his head again. | |

Grievous Bottley Harm | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_67792344 | comment |
Grievous Bottley Harm: Exaggerated in "Putting Down the Watchdog"; Chris smashes four bottles over his head to the tune of Boom Clap by Charli XCX when his frustration and confusion with the Racism Watchdog reaches its peak. Subverted in "Algorythm"; Chris tries to smash a bottle in his face, but it refuses to break, so he gets frustrated and just smashes it on the floor. In "THE END OF THE WORLD!", Chris gets annoyed by a woman on the phone, so he knocks her out by smashing a beer-bottle over her head. | |

Political Correctness Gone Mad | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_770c9008 | comment |
Political Correctness Gone Mad: The "Social Justice the Musical" videos all focus on people getting very offended and angry over minor slights, with the songs serving as criticism of the concept. Though he makes references of real-events, things are exaggerated and fictionalized for the sake of parody. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: In the "Advertiser Friendly" recap video, he parodies YouTube's "advertiser friendly" policies by starting the video off in a colorful, crayon-drawn world where everything is happy, and he and Paul are talking cheerfully about the subject of the video. It then switches to the complete opposite when Chris gives his real thoughts on the subject, with him ranting in front of a darker, more crudely drawn background. The video proceeds to swap back and forth between the two styles and tones. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Chris is very sarcastic, making fun of his video's subject, his roommates, politics, himself, all with a very snarky tone. His guest-stars, such as his father and his roommate Tom Sweeney, are also very prone to sarcasm. | |

Parody | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_ae853f28 | comment |
Parody: Many of his songs, both full-length and within-episodes, are political-based parodies of pre-existing songs. Funnily enough, he discovered in "Cringe with Chris" that his first attempt at this was back in 2009, where he made a parody of "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" known as "Pretty Fly for a Fat Guy". | |

Sudden Soundtrack Stop | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_bda3b88e | comment |
Sudden Soundtrack Stop: In "NO MEMES ALLOWED!", there's some quirky, upbeat music playing as he begins to describe the concept of memes... which then cuts off completely when he launches into claiming that memes are "kinda like, ehh... Kurt Cobain". | |

Running Gag | |
| Chris Ray Gun (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Several. Chris likes to open his videos with a chair-roll up to his desk, each one different. Footage of him bothering or arguing with his roommates, often based on the video's subject matter. Paul the Llama interrupting the show, being disrespected by Chris, or showing off some weird, demonic traits and powers. Jokes about suicide. Particularly strange arguments or moments will be responded to with a silent, baffled, "WHY". | |
