Line 23:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: As Tim himself lampshades in one of his videos, "...we're not here for any of ''that''."
* [[Clip Art Animation]]: Has been known to animate artwork and photos of historical figures to present them speaking.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: His very first video in this format, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IFh6wFTJiQ Schwebebahn: Why Wuppertal's Trains Are Much Cooler Than Yours]'', is distinctly different from his later videos. Its tone is drier, more academic, with only one touch of humor at the very end, and he does not appear in it at all. As a subtitle on a mid-2021 video notes, "My early voiceovers had all the energy of a sloth on valium".
** For even earlier installment weirdness, his ''very first'' video on YouTube was [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNkbRjb7YDY about climbing the highest point in every county in England]; the only thing it has in common with his later videos is the music, which he composed and performed.
* [[Filler|Filler Episode]]: He'll gladly admit that some of his videos, such as the second "Fake Facades of Paris", are (as he put it) "lockdown content" -- releases created with the limited resources he had available to him during France's response to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], and as such suffer in quality compared to his other videos.
* [[The Mountains of Illinois]]: Invoked tongue-in-cheek with his Mediocre Mountain Challenge, itself spun off from a series of videos in which he visited the highest points in low lands, whose altitude could reach a dizzying ''tens'' of feet. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by both Tim and the viewers who submitted their videos when they exaggerated the effort expended in climbing all the way to the tops of these towering peaks.
