The videos had Klavan as a commentator on the video poking fun at liberals by either outright showing the flaws in their arguments or sometimes through Stealth Parody. Klavan's topic of rants tend to varies from high taxes, religion, political figures, and many more.
Has nothing to do with the science fiction novel series by Iain M. Banks: The Culture.

Klavan: There are important similarities between our dear saviour and Jesus. |

- Shout-Out: Klavan made some reference to films, comic books and video games in the videos.
- Speaking Simlish: Done in one when Andrew Klavan is trying to make sense of a liberal argument.
- Stealth Parody: Some of the videos are this.

- Viewers are Morons: Sometimes in the videos where they were using Stealth Parody or metaphors, in the end Klavan ended up either explaining that it's a parody or what the metaphor represents.
- Zombie Apocalypse: Parodied. "It's the night, of the living government!"
