I think most of the format are Yahtzee's IP, because he made two episodes released on his own channel independently under the name "Fully Ramblomatic" before being picked up by The Escapist maintaining pretty much an identical formula under the Zero Punctuation name. I think there would be a case that the little black imp thing is his for the same reason.
