Brad Paisley: Difference between revisions

 

=== Tropes present: ===

* [[Basement Dweller]]: The subject of "Online," a nerdy loser who claims to be a supermodel online.

* [[Best Years of Your Life]]: Invoked in "Letter to Me," where Brad ponders what he would put in a letter to his 17-year-old self. He would say that those are indeed ''not'' the best years of your life.

* [[Donut Mess With a Cop]]: In "Mr. Policeman," he taunts the cop chasing him: "There's no way you're keeping up with me / Just go on back to Krispy Kreme."

* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: The subjects of "Whiskey Lullaby."

* [[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.

* [[Greatest Hits Album]]: A notable aversion. He fought for a very long time against releasing one because he's not a fan of them. The label finally compromised and made it a 2-disc compilation with some live tracks.

* [[Heavy Meta]]: "Too Country" and "This Is Country Music".

* [[Idiosyncratic Album Theming]]: The first three albums had a gospel song as the final track, and albums two through five had interstitial skits.

* [[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.
