Line 46:
* [[Everything's Better With Penguins]]: "Penguin, James Penguin" is a cut from his Christmas album.
* [[Exiled to The Couch]]: "Sleeping on the Foldout": He's exiled for claiming he had to work to get out of going with her to visit her family, then going fishing instead. And then "telling her the whole staff spent the day out on the lake."
* [[Fake -Out Fade -Out]] "Me Neither": A guy at a bar keeps trying to pick up this girl, and she keeps turning him down, so he [[Like a Weasel|pretends that he didn't really want to either]] and he was just testing her. In the end, he's finally ready to give up.

Line 58:
* [[Insurance Fraud]]: "The Cigar Song" is about a man insuring his Cuban cigars, then smoking them and making a claim based on the fact that they were destroyed in a fire. It works, until he gets arrested for arson.
* [[Kids Rock]]: "Ain't Nothin' Like," a cut from ''Mud on the Tires'', may take the cake for the shrillest kids' chorus ever recorded.
* [[Lampshade -Wearing]]: "Alcohol" has the line "And I'll bet you a drink or two / That I can make you / Put that lampshade on your head." Even funnier in the video, where "Little" Jimmy Dickens walks onscreen and dons a lampshade in the most deliberate way possible.
* [[List Song]]: "The World" and "She's Everything". The former lists what others may think of the lover that's "the world" to him, and the latter lists various objects that are metaphors for her.
* [[New Sound Album]]: ''Play''. Not only was it mostly an instrumental album, it was also an instrumental album that explored his usually-hidden rock influences.
Line 69:
* [[Recurring Riff]]: All of the tracks on ''This Is Country Music'' end with a snippet of the title track, re-purposed to describe the next song in line.
* [[Rerelease the Song]]: Done with "Waitin' on a Woman", an album track from ''Time Well Wasted'' that got re-recorded and released only one album later.
* [[Self -Backing Vocalist]] / [[Solo Duet]]: "Born on Christmas Day," a cut from his Christmas album, includes portions of a recording he made of the song at age 12. At the end, he sings a harmony over the childhood recording.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Also leaning a bit on the [[Heavy Meta]] side, "Old Alabama" is a shout-out to the 1980s country band [[Alabama]]. Near the end, they even sing the bridge to their song "Mountain Music", which is sampled throughout.
* [[Talky Bookends]]: Occurs in many of his videos.
* [[That's What She Said]]: He got away with one at the 2010 CMA Awards after co-host [[Carrie Underwood]] mentioned that Blake Shelton's engagement ring for Miranda Lambert was "so big and perfect".
