Steve's distinctive wardrobe is instantly recognizable: high-waisted pants pulled up to his chest, suspenders, thick glasses, and a high-pitched voice. This ensemble contributes significantly to his comedic appeal.

While the core elements remain consistent, Steve's fashion evolves subtly over the seasons. Variations include different shirt patterns, sweater vests, and occasional attempts at a more modern style, often with disastrous results.

Steve's most famous catchphrase, "Did I do that?", becomes synonymous with his character. He utters it after causing some kind of mishap, often with an innocent and bewildered expression.

Other memorable phrases include "I've fallen and I can't get up!" (a parody of a popular Life Alert commercial) and his signature laugh, which further enhance his comedic persona.
