Videos Stauber's videos utilize a mixture of different types of media like traditional animation, 3D computer animation, claymation, and live action. Almost all voices in the videos are done by Stauber himself. His videos are usually separated into three styles: "surreal," characters with odd and striking facial expressions and frequently part of his claymations, "colorful," which are usually featured in VHS animations and music videos, and "Stauber faces," light-skinned characters with cartoon noses.
