== Some tropes embodied by the band and their work are: ==
* [[Bowdlerise]] {{context}}
 
* [[Bowdlerise]]
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: "Too Bad" and "Never Again" do this
* [[The Cameo]]: Exaggerated in ''Rockstar'' with appearances by [[Kiss|Gene Simmons]], Nelly Furtado, [[Eliza Dushku]], [[Ted Nugent]], Twista, Paul Wall, [[Mixed Martial Arts|Chuck Lidell]], Taryn Manning, [[Lupe Fiasco]], [[Girls Of The Playboy Mansion|Holly Madison, Bridget Marquadt, Kendra Wilkinson]], [[American Chopper|the Teutuls]], Dale Earnardt Jr., Kid Rock, [[Alice in Chains (Music)|Jerry Cantrell]], Dominique Swain & Wayne Gretzky. Overlaps with [[Casting Gag]] since a few of the guests are musicians and some of the lyrics they lip-sync relate to themselves.
* [[Death's Hourglass]]: The music video for "Savin' Me" begins with a twitchy-looking man saving a well-dressed man from walking in front of a car. Pretty soon, the well-dressed man starts to see what the twitchy man saw--numbers over everyone's heads, rapidly counting down . . . (This has absolutely nothing to do with the lyrics of the song.)
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Chad didn't know about his real father until his late teens. Mike's father and his adopted father was also this and the subject of "Too Bad"
Line 32:
* [[Drugs Are Bad]]: "Just To Get High" and "Worthy To Say"
* [[Growing Up Sucks]]: "Photograph"
* [[He Also Did]]: Chad wrote "Hero" for ''[[Spider-Man (Filmfilm)|Spider-Man]]'' (and the track also features Mike).
* [[Ice Cream Koan]] {{context}}
* [[Insult Backfire]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131211230652/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/nickelback-thanks-black-keys-after-insult-in-rolling-stone-20120105 A pretty good one too.]
* [[Intercourse Withwith You]]: "Next Go Round" "Flat On The Floor" "S-E-X"
<!-- * ~Isn't It Ironic~ MOD NOTE: This trope doesn't exist on ATT. -->
* [[Lyrical Shoehorn]] {{context}}
* [[Marked Bullet]]: "Side of a Bullet".
* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]]: A fairly solid 5.
Line 43:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: "Something In Your Mouth"
* [[Oh Crap]]: The main characters' reaction in the last verse of "Animals." {{spoiler|He and his girlfriend are in his car [[Auto Erotica|getting busy]] when she realizes that her dad is standing right outside.}}
* [[Other Common Music Video Concepts]] {{context}}
* [[Ode to Intoxication]]: "Burn It To The Ground" and "Bottoms Up"
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: A common theme in their lyrics.
Line 49:
** "Never Again" originally had a video, but [[MTV]] deemed it too graphic and violent and the band reshot the video with concert footage
* [[Prom Baby]]: "Throw Yourself Away".
* [[Rockstar Song]]: "[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Rockstar]]," but it's meant to mock the industry.
* [[Rousseau Was Right]]: "If Everyone Cared".
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbP1K-bQB6g&ob=av3e Nickelback? You got me] ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbP1K-bQB6g&ob=av3e Nickelback?]'']"
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: "Follow You Home".
* [[Sanity Slippage Song]]: All the Right Reasons has tracks with this under tone.
* [[Strip Club]]: The song "Next Contestant" describes the boyfriend of a stripper seeing her accosted by her clients, and itching to beat up the ones who go too far.
* [[Talking Down the Suicidal]]: "Lullaby".
* [[This Means War]]: The title of the first track on "Here And Now"
* [[This Trope Is Bleep]] {{context}}
* [[Tomato Surprise]]: Someday's video has a nice twist at the end.
