* Blink and you'll miss it, but in his Best Hits Of 2010, he references {{spoiler|''[[Two Thousand Ten the Year We Make Contact]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''.}} Despite the fact that he had a long diatribe about us and [[Biting the Hand Humor|his fellows]] [[Self Deprecation|being nerds]].

* Todd calls out the pop music industry for forcing [[Cee Lo Green]] to only be able to hit the top ten using Glee, yet the horrible "Tonight I'm Loving/Fucking You" gets in without problem.

* Would it be cheating to say that whenever Todd plays a piano version of the song he's reviewing, it's a [[Crowning Music of Awesome|special moment]] altogether.

* Todd figuring out how to play "Whip My Hair" on his piano by ear.<ref>though in the commentary, he says that he learned it by ear, forgot it by the time of the shooting, and had to get info on the internet</ref>

* Real life example: Finding a way to happily date one of his [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|co-workers]], who travels the country on a regular basis and doesn't even live in the same state. For those of us who have tried long-distance relationships, this is definitely a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for Todd.

* After being persuaded by [[Brows Held High|Kyle]] to continue his review of "Sexy and I Know It", Todd switches to Kyle's more academic, analytical style and gives an impressively solid critique of how insulting and damaging the underlying message of the song is (basically, that the idea of men being physically attractive is laughable). Of course, he then gives up again and declares that song "[[Shaped Like Itself|sucks because it sucks]]", but the effort (he carries it on for ''five minutes'') at least made it clear that his hatred for the song was more than just a knee-jerk response. Bonus points for contrasting it against Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" and explaining in detail what that song did ''right''.

* His "review" of Chris Brown's "Turn Up The Music", in which he ''barely mentions'' the song itself and spends the rest of the video again explaining why Chris Brown is a terrible human being. The best part is that it's not just a "Chris Brown sucks" rant, but rather an eloquent yet enraged speech that discusses all the aspects that make Chris Brown's current presence in the media and so-called "forgiven" status by some fans and mainstream America completely unacceptable. It's truly a noteworthy video from Todd that shows he is intelligent and understands a large part of the general public's disgust with Brown.
