Each episode of the series showcases a game usually being played in its entirety, | Each episode of the series showcases a full game usually being played in its entirety, or at least the main story beats or interesting parts. Episodes are not cut up into parts, so depending on the length of the game, episodes of ''Argie Bee Plays'' also vary in length. Instead of a webcam feed of a human player in the corner, a half-body Live2D face-tracked avatar of the host, a kangaroo-furred dragon character named Vtuber Flye (also known as Flye Gaming) is displayed, as their actor provides commentary on events of the games through him. | ||

Though it's also shown that he probably knows more than he's letting on (such as when he actively cheats to skip certain sections, or he forces something to happen in-game that doesn't usually happen), and is most likely just "acting" for the show. | ||
Even though Vtuber Flye is a character being portrayed through motion capture, and some jokes are scripted, most vocal reactions to unexpected things such as game glitches, jumpscares, and plot twists are genuine. The episodes are also truncated to exclude most of the downtime moments when nothing of interest is happening. Some things that do get cut out are released in a seperate videos as "Bee-Roll" (B-Roll) footage. | Even though Vtuber Flye is a character being portrayed through motion capture, and some jokes are scripted in advance, most vocal reactions to unexpected things such as game glitches, jumpscares, and plot twists are genuine.

On a similar vein as with the aforementioned "Bee-Roll", likewise, all episodes open with some preliminary info about the game about to be played before the text "Buzz: On" appears; the word "Buzz" being an allusion to the word "Bee" in the title of the show. To bookend this, the videos close with the text "Buzz: Off" (sometimes with the colon symbol omitted to drive this "stinger" home). | On a similar vein as with the aforementioned "Bee-Roll", likewise, all episodes open with some preliminary info about the game about to be played before the text "Buzz: On" appears; the word "Buzz" being an allusion to the word "Bee" in the title of the show.
