Max X had a series of running gags throughout the duration of the show.

• Dudes: Most males on the show's videos are referred to as "dudes."
• The La-dies: Brainard is usually heard ogling at attractive women which he refers to as "la-dies."
• "Sweet" mullets: Brainard takes the time in videos to point out and make fun of people with mullets.
• "Oh yeah!": One of Brainard's favorite sayings.
• Use of Telestrator: Brainard often uses a yellow colored telestrator to highlight certain parts of videos. He often uses this to point out sweet mullets.
• "Good eatin'": Usually used in conjunction with animal videos. As in, "Remember, them monkeys is good eatin'" or "Hyenas say dik-dik is good eatin'."
• Double negatives: Quite common on the show and used for comedic effect, such as, "In Bizarro world, cops don't shoot nobody."
• Cigarettes: Brainard usually points out people's inability to let go of their cigarette when either they or someone else is in grave danger.
• Stereotypes: Max X routinely makes fun of foreigners, including the French, the Russians, and the Canadians, especially those who are intoxicated. Running gags include how "dirty" France is and how "boring" Canada is.
• Variable Speed: When a clip is replayed, a menu comes up on the left hand side of the screen with the Variable Speed controls. Brainard usually says something like, "Let's see that again," prompting the menu. The choices include Slo-Mo, Frame by Frame, Super Slo-Mo, High Speed, and Replay.
• Image Enhancement: similar to the "Variable Speed" menu, but with features to detail the replay of a clip. The choices are Zoom, Enlarge, Extreme Close-Up, Highlight (Isolation), Night Vision, Thermal Vision, Color Enhancement, and Resolution.
• Camera Angle: similar to the "Variable Speed" menu, but with different angles of the replay of the clip was filmed on multiple cameras.
• Max X List: The top clips (usually three or five) for each episode are counted down at the end of the episode as the Max X List.
• Yellow Arrows: Yellows arrows appear suddenly around limbs that are broken in multiple places. Each arrow appearance is accompanied with a very quick cow bell sound effect.
