* [[BigAcceptable EaterLifestyle Targets]]: He seems to be a glutton for [[fat]] jokes. While changing "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" to "50 Ways To Eat Your Lover" [[This Is Not That Trope|is not this]] (it's a [[Not Safe for Work|NSFW]] reference to oral sex), "Fifty Plates To Feed My Brother" is... as is "Middle Age Waistline" (<s>"Teenage Wasteland"</s> [[Refrain From Assuming|"Baba O'Reilly"]]), as is "It's The Most Fattening Time of the Year" ("It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"), as is "Getting Fatter All The Time" ([[The Beatles]], "Getting Better All The Time"), as is "I'm A Weight Watcher".
* [[Acceptable Professional Targets]]: Too many to mention. The "Minimum Wage" flunky [[Spitting in the Customer's Food]] is a prime example. Incompetent or brutal police are another. Addressing someone as "a clown" is inevitably pejorative. Individual politicians are always fair game for parody.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: "Teddy the Red-Nosed Senator" (as a [[Drunk Driver]] version of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", which ends with the Santa sled wrapped around a tree). "Police Stop My Car" (as a parody of "Feliz Navidad") is also about [[Drunk Driver|DUI]].
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
* [[Bad Santa]]: "Santa Claus Is Fooling Around" (a parody of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town", told from the POV of a [[Your Cheating Heart|jealous, suspicious husband]]).
* [[Big Beautiful Woman]]: [[Eminem]]'s "Real Slim Shady" is parodied as "Would the real big ladies/Please stand up..."
* [[Big Eater]]: He seems to be a glutton for [[fat]] jokes. While changing "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" to "50 Ways To Eat Your Lover" is not this (it's a [[Not Safe for Work|NSFW]] reference to oral sex), "Fifty Plates To Feed My Brother" is... as is "Middle Age Waistline" ("Teenage Wasteland"), as is "It's The Most Fattening Time of the Year" ("It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"), as is "Getting Fatter All The Time" ([[The Beatles]], "Getting Better All The Time"), as is "I'm A Weight Watcher".
* [[Brand Name Takeover]]: "I'm Just A Singer In A Holiday Inn®" (parodying the [[Moody Blues]] "I'm just a singer in a rock-and-roll band" as "we are the Moody Tunes")
* [[But You Screw One Goat!]]: "Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep" (a parody of [[ACDC|AC/DC]]'s "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap").
