Line 20:
* [[The Cover Changes the Gender]]: Mostly [[Averted Trope|averted]]. If [["Weird Al" Yankovic|"Weird Al"]] needs a female blonde for a [[Lady Gaga]] parody ("I'm not insane/I just Perform This Way") we get his face pasted onto a thin blonde bikini girl's figure - with jarring effect; if Bob Rivers needs a Sonny Bono and a [[Cher]] soundalike for a parody "I Can't Ski Babe" he'll find musicians who seamlessly match the originals in both gender and style.
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: "Caught Me One Handed" (a parody of Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me") is largely a flurry of [[Unusual Euphemism]]s for being awkwardly caught (by mama) choking the chicken or beating the bishop.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: He's prone to create multiple, different parodies of the same song. For instance, Don McLean's "American Pie" is parodied as "The Day My Lemon Died" (a song about [[The Alleged Car]] abandoned at roadside) and parodied again as the American Pie Eulogy ("She made my music die" - blasting [[Madonna]] for her remake of the song [[Deader Than Disco|disco style]]). Likewise, Dead Moon's "Johnny's Got A Gun" is parodied as "[[Sesame Street|Elmo]]'s Got A Gun" and parodied again to target George W. Bush's VP with "Cheney's Got A Gun". [[The Doors]]' "Riders on the Storm" is parodied as "Drivers on the Phone" and parodied again as "Burgers on the Grill".
* [[Gender Bender]]: Any [[crossdresser]]s or [[transgender]] characters are portrayed in [[Incredibly Conspicuous Drag]] as a source of [[Played for Laughs|cheap laughs]]. There's the infamous "Walkin' 'Round In Women's Underwear" (as parody of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland") but, even if the stated intent is permanent transition instead of [[Drag Queen]] comedy or [[Disguised in Drag|disguise]], the patient is given [[Man in a Bikini]] proportions. If Butch checks into Genital Hospital on Tuesday and Bev checks out with a change of undergarments on Thursday, her 16XXL measurements ensure she will not pass. (In "I Wanna Be A Woman", what was [[Pink Floyd]]'s "Young Lust" from "The Wall" - "I am just a new boy / A stranger in this town..." becomes "I am just a female / Trapped inside a man")
* [[Going Postal]]: "Please, Don't Shoot Me Mr. Postman" (as parody of the often-remade "Please, Mr. Postman")
