==Content==
His current content is primarily about animated films. His video titles often have "Why [*Insert Name of Movie here*] is a Cinematic Disaster" if he felt the film was bad. Some of his other reviews include TV shows, video games, and anime. His older videos are mainly comprised of YouTube Poops or just random content.
===Is it good or nah?===
This series is a short review after James watches a movie for the first time. These videos are usually around 5 to 10 minutes.
===Why [media title] is a...===
These videos are in-depth analysis on movies, TV series, musicals, or video games. The description in the title can vary according to James' opinion of the reviewed media. Commonly, films he strongly dislikes are presented as "Cinematic Disaster[s]" as is the case with Shark Tale and Shrek the Third. Other examples include describing a media product as "an Underrated Gem" (Shrek Forever After, Meet the Robinsons, the first Pikmin game) or "an Underrated Masterpiece" (Kid Icarus: Uprising).
=== Every [x] Ranked ===
James ranks an entire collection of media, such as all the movies from a certain studio or all the levels from a certain video game. The spots in the ranking list are presented from worst to best, with the top spot being discussed at the very end of the video.
* Every [film studio] Movie Ranked: a ranking of the entire filmography by a certain studio, such as Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Sony, Dreamworks or Studio Ghibli.
** Prior to the video where he ranked all of Disney Animation Studios' movies, James also made rankings of Disney films released in individual eras (e.g. all the Disney Renaissance movies, or all Disney movies from the 2000's).
** Every [director] Movie Ranked: Similar to the studio rankings, but based on directors instead. The first video of this kind was uploaded in 2023, covering Wes Anderson's library.
* Every [video game] Level Ranked: following up on their video on Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, James and his brother Patrick ranked all 36 levels in the game. This is the only video game the channel has ranked outside of the Mario Kart series.
** Every [Mario Kart game] Course Ranked: between November 2022 and December 2023, James released a series of videos where he ranked every track in a given Mario Kart title. Aside from ordering each game's courses in order of preference, he also classifies them into tiers ranging from F to S. Upon reaching the middle point in each ranking, James makes a break from ranking the race tracks and gives his opinion on the respective's game Battle Mode, also ranking the Battle courses. This series concluded with the ranking of all 96 circuits in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
* Every [TV series] song ranked: two of these videos exist, covering all songs in Phineas and Ferb and Steven Universe respectively.
A common trope in these videos is the use of jingles before every spot in the list, usually teasing what movie, level, etc. took that place. The same two jingles are almost always used for the last and first places in the ranking, respectively, with the bottom spot being preceded by "Disappointment in the game of life!" and the first spot being introduced by the "Get Mask" jingle from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. There can be exceptions to this rule.
=== Top [x] Movies/Video Games of [year] ===
Released around New Year, these videos consist of James listing his favourite movies or video games of the year that has been recently ended or is about to end. They used to be top-ten rankings until 2020, where his video game ranking only included six games. Since 2021, the top-of-the-year video game lists have returned to ten spots while the movie lists have increased from ten to fifteen places.
===Mash-Ups===
James previously made mash-ups of songs with clips from movies or TV-shows edited in. Most of the mash-ups include music from the Broadway musical, Hamilton.

==Trivia== 
*The profile icon of his channel is that of Tamatoa, the giant crab from Disney’s Moana. Tamatoa is also commonly associated with Schaffrillas, due to how commonly James talks about him in his videos.
*The typical intro used in his videos is an edit of the intro for the Arthur cartoon series, followed by him saying “Funding for Schaffrillas is provided by”, before going on to announce the sponsor of the video.
*James used to work alongside with his friend, Chris, which is where the name Schaffrillas (Chris Schaffer and James Phyrillas) originated.
*He is asexual and biromantic.
*In 2021, James organised "Shiny Reanimated", a multi-animator project composed of more than 100 creators, reanimating Tamatoa's "Shiny" scene from Moana. He would later also organise "Be Our Guest Reanimated", another multi-animation project, recreating the iconic song from Beauty & The Beast, which James considers to be the best Disney movie.
*James is famous for discussing his dislike of things, such as Artemis Fowl (His least favourite movie), Shrek The Musical, etc.
*For the most part. James almost never gave a 1/10 to any movies he reviewed. That changed however when he reviewed the Mulan (2020). Which he awarded with the channel's first ever 1/10
*In celebration of 1,000,000 Subscribers. James made a one-hour video discussing why he loves Tamatoa so much. The video also acted as a sort of movie, where he and his friends team up to restore the heart of Te-Fiti in order to stop Oscar from Shark Tale. The video featured cameos from other YouTubers like Illymation, ElectricDragon505 (AniMat) and Scott The Woz. The video also included a parody of “I Need a Hero” (Mostly the Shrek 2 version), called “I Need It Shiny!” Which was sung by Elsie Lovelock.
