  • "First of May". Full stop.
    • A number of fans were inspired by this song to create- in a strange, fantastical hybrid of this trope and Crazy Awesome- the "First of May Olympics." You can probably guess what that entails.
  • "I'm not a monster Tom...well, technically I am... I guess I am!"
    • "And we'll put this thing to bed...when I bash your head open!"
  • "And he knows someday, he'll have to play/an old retarded grampa...
  • "Creepy Doll": Now it’s late and you head downstairs/’Cause you just can’t sleep so you make some tea/And the doll disapprovingly asks if you really need that much honey....
  • The second verse of "Skullcrusher Mountain". Yes, the one about the half-pony, half-monkey monster.
  • At his "Best. Concert. Ever." show, Jonathan performed a version of "Mr. Fancy Pants". In place of the normal guitar solo, he began playing disjointed audio bytes from the song over a base line. Depending on the listener, it's either annoying or hilarious to here him say the word "Pants" over and over again...and then he plays them so that they form a coherent statement: "Chances are you're/best in/everybody's/pants!" The entire audience erupted into laughter.
    • Also, he later improved his skills with the Zendrum to the point where he ended up Rickrolling people... and then when that started to become more well-known he switched it up to "Single Ladies."
      • And, as of recent shows, has been incorporating the Super Mario Bros. theme. And even more recently, he's been using said theme as a transition to his next song..."Want You Gone", from Portal 2.
  • His cover of "Baby Got Back". Mostly because of the genre he chose to cover it with.
