His videos are designed to trigger the ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, a tingly feeling that can happen in the head, back, or limbs in response to certain stimuli, such as whispering, soft speaking, tapping, crinkling, and more, with the only side effect being sleepiness. Most of his videos use retro media and items to trigger ASMR including video games, movies, comics, music, books, VHS/DVD collections, trading cards, toys, and more.
