** Amusingly, {{spoiler|Cal then chose Born This Way as one of his favorites albums of 2011 (so far), and when called out by Anthony on the fact that it made them throw up, he replied by stating that it was the most fun he'd had throwing up all year.}}

* [[Caustic Critic]]: AvertedHe as heusually tends to be quite calm and collected even with music he dislikes, managing to point out its strengths as well as its flaws. On reviews for music below a 4 rating, however, he goes ''hard'' on his criticism, even insulting some aspects of the music or the artist. This can be seen in his "NOT GOOD" reviews.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Cal acts like a ''special'' kind of [[Man Child]].
* [[Couch Gag]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qkiu1efwFk tree], phased out after 2012.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: In his video debating messages in music, Anthony asks the audience "And what about people who're in my position?

* [[Overly Long Gag]]:
* [[Overly Long Gag]]:* His review of [[Limp Bizkit|]]'s ''Gold Cobra'']] basically consists of Anthony eating food.
** His review of [[Big Sean]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKmbySC3V6U ''Dark Sky Paradise''] is entirely him saying "No" over and over again.
* [[Sound Effect Bleep]]: In the past, Anthony usually bleeped himself out when he swore, although this is subverted in his review of ''David Comes to Life'' (by [[Fucked Up]]), and drops the F word in the [[Couch Gag]] before the review starts.
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Cal's reviews are very poorly done. Of course, [[Intended Audience Reaction|that's what makes them hilarious]].
