Todd in the Shadows/Funny: Difference between revisions

== Down ==

* New and improved [[Chris Brown]]! Now with 31% less [[Domestic Abuse]]!

== Paparazzi ==

* The introduction to his second video reads:

* And the ending, where he asks what could be done to stop Gaga. Cut to the scene of the music video [[Railing Kill|where she's thrown off a balcony]]. "That seems good enough".

 

== Party In The U.S.A. ==

* Todd explains the plot of the song - Miley gets off the plane in L.A., but she's so different from everybody else she's worried about fitting in... and then she hears her favorite song and feels safe again.

'''Todd:''' Hmm. Maybe she was just listening to Darius Rucker and ''thought'' he was Jay-Z. }}

* "That was the new hit song 'Party in the USA', by a squirrel falling out of a tree"

* Todd complaining that "in the USA" isn't specific enough. He goes on to joke that people would mistake the country for Belgium if Miley didn't reference being in the USA during the song. But he also complained that "in the USA" is so vague that the song might as well be "Party in the Inner Solar System".

* Todd is playing "America's favourite game", [[Running Gag|Finish the Rhyme]]:

'''Jay-Z:''' '''Fuckas!''' }}

* Most of the ending songs are funny in their own way, but the one for this video, {{spoiler|a chipmunked version of "Achy Breaky Heart"}}, was the best one by far.

== Whatcha Say ==

* Todd explains the origin of the sample of "Hide and Seek" in "Whatcha' Say", and then says that what he finds to be most disturbing about it is that the sample actually works in the song.

* Asking if Derulo is "riverdancing how sorry [he] is".

* Singing along with alternate lyrics. "But when I become a star, I'll buy houses and cars, while I sleep around on you! Oooh whatcha say, oh that you're a lying sack of crap, 'cause you totally are, oh whatcha say - forgot to say you wouldn't do it again! You idiot!"

* The phonetic spellings of Derulo's "Tell me whatcha say".

'''Subtitles:''' [[South Park|Timmy]] whatcha say ah? }}

* Demanding that Derulo sing his own chorus, and then "Is he ''singing along?'' You can't sing along with her, you moron! She's being ''sarcastic''!", which devolves into furious ranting as Derulo claims that "of course it is" all for the best.

== 3 ==

* Todd has some trouble making out some of the lyrics.

'''Todd:''' *points toward himself* Me, *points away from self* you, *points back to self* and... me? How many Britneys are there in this equation? }}

* In a later part of the review, Todd points out a part of the song that has a sigh added at the end of a line to make it sound like a word was censored. He explains that there's no word that actually goes there and says that it doesn't work because his mind just blurs the next word into the line, so instead of 'Everybody loves... *sigh*', it becomes...

* Being so distracted by the unintelligible lyrics that he forgets to be enraged by the line itself.

* After screaming about the reference to Peter, Paul and Mary, Todd says that now none of their songs will sound innocent to him. Cue clips from 'Lemon Tree', 'If I Had A Hammer', and 'Blowing In The Wind'. Then you get this:

'''Todd:''' ARRRRRRRGH! }}

 

== Break Up ==

* "This is the music of Hell! This is, like, evil haunted fun-house music!"

* "Who cares what they're rapping about?! It's the sound of like somebody turned my nightmares into audio!"

 

 

== Bad Romance ==

* His reaction to the opening lyrics.

** Also, Todd admits that the song is not that bad, he kinda likes it... then the song ends with the opening lyrics and he ends up crying.

* Also, his reaction to the jumbled up Lady Gaga mess in that exact song.

*** "Why is she singing like a vampire with Down's Syndrome?"

* "What is this? Did she run out of English? Is she summoning Cthulhu?"

* The "continuous perversion of the word love":

"[[Bad Romance]]": [[Mind Screw|I Don't Know]] }}

 

== TiK ToK ==

* His review of "TiK ToK" has a great line.

* The joke about how Ke$ha's fans would probably get pedicures on their eyeballs if she didn't specify where she got it was great.

* His response to Kesha's preference for people to look like Mick Jagger is to cut to a picture of the guy and simply say:

* The joke about the "wrong people" hearing the song and going along with it. Funnier if you actually know people like that.

 

== I Can Transform Ya ==

* He takes an attempt at making beats [[In the Style Of]] the song.

* His [[Deadpan Snarker|deadpan]] mocking of the sounds of the "song" in general. "WANNA-WA. WANNA-WA."

 

== Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2009 ==

* He has a montage with a counter of all times Justin Bieber says "One Time" in one song. Thanks to the [[Rule of Funny]], a few outside clips find their way in, including the line [[American Pie|"And this one time, at band camp..."]]

'''Todd:''' No more times! }}

* And the priceless moment when, while trying to understand the sex appeal of Kiss Me Thru The Phone, Todd ends up [[Cargo Ship|making out with his cell phone]].

* Todd's sarcastically chipper delivery of "I think [[Soulja Boy]]'s getting better!"

* His reactions to "Birthday Sex."

Fellas, no matter how good you think you are at it, this is not an acceptable gift! It only makes sense if you're ''really bad at it'' the rest of the year! }}

** And after that, him imitating Jeremih's constant "ah-ah-ah"ing.

 

* His [[Sanity Slippage|epic freak-out]] during the chorus of "Single Ladies".

* "Beyonce had one of the--" "Worst songs of all time."

 

* "I thought Katy Perry's first hit, I Kissed a Girl, told me everything I needed to know about her. She's dumb, she's obnoxious, and she has a singing voice so bad, it makes [[Bob Dylan]] sound like Pavarotti."

* Eminem made a comeback, apparently. Todd takes it well.

'''Todd:''' Eminem just threatened to EAT your FACE! AWESOME! }}

 

* He comments that the song isn't original and actually is kind of boring. And then he falls asleep on his piano.

* The reaction to the chorus. First, a caption reading "Replay is sponsored by Apple" and saying "This girl is like a broken iPod. How romantic". Then:

* "That girl's like something off a poster". "What poster?" (shows a poster of [[John Belushi]])

 

== Fifteen ==

* Todd gets rather annoyed when Taylor doesn't inform the listeners of what exactly happened with her and the senior she was dating, instead giving a vague line.

* He also points out that the song loses some of its depth because the story Taylor tells about her friend Abigail actually did happen to Abigail - or rather, if you're going to tell a sad, emotional story, make sure it's about you, and not about your friend.

* Early in the review, he translates the overall message of the song as "Boy, fifteen year olds sure are stupid! Like, really stupid. Pants-on-backwards stupid."

* Todd goes into a long, astonishingly emotional monologue about how when he was in high school his girlfriend Kelly broke up with him at a school dance and left him for a college guy, and how it was the worst thing that ever happened to him in high school.

 

 

* Todd asks why [[Lil Jon]] is on the track, pointing out that his presence was not necessary and that the track doesn't sound better for it. To illustrate this point, he plays a song with Lil Jon on it, and then compares it to footage from [[Swan Lake]], before throwing in a picture of Lil Jon and a shout of "Yeah, Swan Lake!"

* In the same review, he points out Sean Paul's status as [[The Unintelligible]] and proves that he could actually be singing anything.

'''Todd:''' (imitating Sean) We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility... }}

 

== We Are The World 25 ==

* Todd comments first on how there aren't many really good pop stars on the track, but there are some. He later points out that since most of today's pop stars are rappers, and many of the stars collaborating are rappers, the remake sounds kinda odd. We then get to see several of the rappers singing the song, with the caption "We tha world, muthafuckaz!"

* Comparing Wyclef Jean's voice to [[Homestar Runner|Homsar]]'s.

* [[Lil Wayne]] is the only person in the world who could come close to sounding as bad as [[Bob Dylan]] did in the original.

* GROCERY BAG!

* After listening to the first few lines of [[Nicki Minaj]]'s part.

* His alarm over Gudda Gudda's name.

* On Lloyd's delivery of the chorus:

'''Gudda Gudda:''' [[Manipulative Editing|No Stevie Wonder.]]<br />

'''Todd:''' Right on! }}

* And of course the ending.

 

 

== Blah Blah Blah ==

* His reaction to the line "Turn around boy / Let me hit that"

'''Todd:'''It's between his legs. You know, the crotch area, that's where it usually is on most guys. You should know that. I mean, not that I'm making any assumptions about your character here, but I'm pretty sure you are well acquainted with the location of the penis. }}

* "Oh, great. The Douchebag Duo have arrived."

== Sexy Chick / Bitch ==

* After finding out that the song is "Sexy Bitch", not "Sexy Chick", Todd gets... rather annoyed.

'''Todd:''' *turns to look at subtitles, turns back to his piano* [[Running Gag|Fix that.]]<br />

'''Subtitles:''' {{smallcaps|Chick-whore complex}}<br />

* Song Title: "I Wanna Fuck You". Hidden meaning: I wanna fuck you.

* And then there's this:

'''Todd:''' How dare thy stain my good lady's name! Her! The most sexiest of all biatches! }}

* In keeping with the censorship theme of the episode:

'''Todd:''' And I have no idea why anyone listens to it, even by the low, low standards of dance music. And I've spent God knows how long studying it. I mean, that's just...one of those things that really just makes you really just feel bad about what you've done with your life, you know? So that's all. Good night. I'm gonna read some classic literature or something. }}

 

 

 

== Telephone ==

* He compares the song's lyrical content to this:

** Additionally, the way he plays and sings this impromptu song [[Springtime for Hitler|comes off as a total]] [[Ear Worm]].

* "Honestly, I'm surprised that it took this long for Beyonce to kill someone."

* "Lady Gaga does not like using words, and will avoid them wherever possible. Soon, she will communicate only in her own made-up alien space language, and we will be the stupid ones for not understanding it."

* "The way she's come to dominate the conversations about pop music in so little time is a little disturbing. I myself have already done a detailed and thoughful analysis of her last single 'Bad Romance'"

 

== Carry Out ==

 

== Eenie Meenie ==

* "EENIE MEANIE MINEY MO LOVER? HOW STUPID DO THEY THINK I AM?"

* "Justin, make us ''believe'' that Shawty is an [[Mondegreen|Eenie Meenie Miny Mo Lava.]]"

* Calling Bieber a loser for [[Hypocritical Humor|dressing the way Todd himself dresses]].

* "I'd have to step back and reconsider this one, even if I were a screaming preteen Bieber fan, or a screaming... Kingston fan. I don't know how a Sean Kingston fan would look like." The funny part being him saying this over an image of Sean Kingston heads shopped onto the faces of Bieber fangirls.

* After [[Mondegreen|mishearing]] the lyrics, he comments: "Her drugs are yellow. ...She wanted you to know."

* "Hey- Heyyyyyyyyy - soooooooooo - *giggle that's not as cute as you think it is* Ya lub ya lub"

** To add to that, the song that plays at the end of the video is [[Tom Waits|"The Piano Has Been Drinking"]].

 

== Alejandro ==

* The culture clash. He plays the Italian themed song "That's Amore" followed by the "Oriental Riff", and ends it with with the subtitle proclaiming "VIVE LA FRANCE!"

** Which becomes [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] because the next video, "Born This Way", featured Gaga giving birth to a new race of humans.

* "I'm done being surprised by Lady Gaga. She has used up her shock potential at this point. I genuinely don't believe that there's anything she could do--" [Gaga's face starts dissolving] "AH! AH! OH GOD! OH GOD!"

* The "M.I.A and [[Joanna Newsom]]" part.

 

 

* At the beginning, after playing the piano style of it, he stays quiet for barely a beat, then screams with a LOT of Enthusiasm "PEACE UP! A TOWN DOWN!" and cuts to "Yeah".

* The running gag of him hitting on [[Obscurus Lupa]] with lines from the song.

'''Lupa:''' Good night, Todd. }}

 

'''Lupa:''' It's a webcam, Todd, you can see what I'm wearing. }}

 

'''Lupa:''' Do I need to get a restraining order? }}

* He decides that Usher's wife left him for [[Epic Fail|trying to rhyme "style" with "wow".]]

* "What, did they record this at a pep rally?"

* Theorizing that the song stands for "Overwhelming Marital Grief".

* Any time he references the sampled crowd chanting.

** "At least they're not breaking out the [[Most Annoying Sound|vuvuzelas]]."

* "1987. What the *beep* is going on?!

* Discussing "Shake You Down":

'''Todd:''' Oh no, Bieber flashback, AH AH AH AH! }}

* "One thing that I promised myself when I put this list together was that it was gonna have all the songs I legitimately hated the most, not the easiest targets or the ones that gave me the most material. I mean, look at this. (playing a clip from "Respect Yourself") It's [[Bruce Willis]]! ''Bruce freaking Willis'' singing and dancing, and people were actually listening to this! I guess he was ''Moonlighting'' as a singer. Too bad his music career [[Die Hard|''Died Hard!'']] Ha!

== Hey, Soul Sister ==

* Upon finding out that the song was emulating INXS.

* Commenting that the lyrics are so bad, they're actively trying to escape from the music video. "Run. Run, little words! Run where the bad man can't abuse you anymore!"

* The Lightning Round part of the song.

'''Todd:''' ... ''<big>[[Ineffectual Death Threats|I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU!]]</big>'' }}

* Also, the little bit about how Patrick isn't going to care about "Hey, Soul Sister", so he decided to do it in the worst way possible and try to forget it ever existed.

* When pointing out Patrick Monahan's squeaky voice:

* "CHEST HAIR!"

* "Yeah, do that dance, that ''sexy'' dance you do to ''Mr. Mister!?'' Oh yeah, I love the way your body moves to this droning no-tempo butt-ugly song that never starts. Oh man, this song always takes me back to when I would just spend hours staring sullenly at the wall."

* "The way you cut a rug..."

 

 

== Cooler Than Me ==

* He discusses how the song seems to appear as if the part where Posner is actually supposed to be putting the girl down is missing. Todd's representation of this notion is hysterical.

* "Taio Cruz is the name of a pop star. Mike Posner fixes your car."

** On that note, the list of potential stage names he could use instead of Mike Posner, including "Mike in the Shadows."

* "Yes! Yes, I think I'm cooler than you! I think 12 years old who write [[Slash Fic|gay]] ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' [[Lemon|porn fiction]] are cooler than you!"

* And then there's this:

'''Todd:''' But you don't. Because you can't. Because you suck. }}

* "A Short List of Things Cooler Than Mike Posner".

* Everything to do with the line about "highbrow shoes".

'''Mike Posner:''' "Yeah? Well, you've got loud shoes!" }}

* "BREATH CONTROL, DAMMIT! ''Sing from the diaphraaaaaaaagm...''"

== Hannah Montana: The Movie ==

* After Jackson is handling the alligator and it cuts to another scene.

* [[Sarcasm Mode|"Oh no, now Lilly's giant rollercoaster skateboard hundreds of people amusement park birthday party is ruined!"]] Cut to a showing of Todd's last birthday, which consists of him sitting in the dark alone wearing a party hat. Made even more hilarious when his party blower doesn't work.

* After talking about Miley's [[Zany Scheme]] to run back and forth between a date and a dinner party, he tiredly pulls a saxophone out of nowhere and starts to play Yakkety Sax.

* "Not only does the wig magically turn Miley into Hannah without anyone noticing, it turns ''anyone'' into Hannah. It's the only thing anyone notices. Put it on anyone, and they become Hannah Montana." *Picture of [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoonette]] appears* "'''OH MY GOD LOOK, ITS HANNAH MONTANA!'''"

* Noting the fast maneuvers of an airplane that's just meant to have a normal flight.

* All of Todd's references about the mall being built in the town.

'''Todd:''' True enough that you gotta do what you gotta do. Even if the best employment you can find is doing awfull grunt work like that. I'm sure you'd having an easier time if there was some economic engine to estimulate the local job market like, I don't know... A MALL!!!!<br />

'''Todd:''' And speaking of the mall, now we have the fundraiser, where they try to raise money for their fight to save their beloved community center. Oh no, wait, excuse me. THEIR EMPTY FREAKIN' FIELD!! from becoming an useful contribuiting part of the town.<br />

'''Todd:''' In any case I'm also wondering. Are they expecting Hannah Montana fans? Whom probably love malls, probably watched this movie in a mall to sit there and shout "YEAH! Down with malls!". }}

* And speaking of the fundraiser;

 

 

== Hannah Montana Pop Tour Guitar Video Game ==

* Discussing the unwieldy name of the ''Hannah Montana Pop Tour Guitar Video Game''.

* His complete inability to wear the guitar strap. And reaction when he discovers that there is no strum bar.

 

== Club Can't Handle Me ==

* The opening riff of the song starts playing. Todd's response:

* He also points out that if the club can't handle Flo Rida, then Todd's perfectly willing to help... he then pulls out [[Carry a Big Stick|a replica of an Ancient Greek war club]] and informs us that his club certainly can handle Flo Rida.

** He also says that if he wants people to stare, he just walks into the supermarket, carrying his club.

* Todd's "Deep Lyrical Analysis" that he drags out when trying to make sense of the lyrics. It ends with Todd pointing out that the reference to the movie ''[[Scarface]]'' indicates that Flo Rida obviously shares the character's extreme paranoia and repressed homosexuality.

* Todd says late in the review that the song becomes more interesting if you look at it as the story of how he ended up in jail.

'''Todd:''' He is feeling himself in public and is out of control. We need someone down here ''now''. Also, we've got another report that this is the guy who recorded "Right Round", so, um... lethal force is authorised. }}

* Nostalgia Critic has to force him to do the review by playing the Hoedown Throwdown.

* Blahblblahblblah, [[REM|Leonard Bernstein!]]

 

* *opens a beer bottle at home* "STRAIGHT UP THUGGIN"

* He starts the video with a rather straight, borderline soapbox rant on the lack of representation for Asians in mainstream music, and uses it to severely burn <nowiki>Far*East Movement</nowiki>.

* He also decides that the song is a Satanic brainwashing scheme. And apparently plays for eternity in the Fourth Circle of Hell.

** "Swear upon the good book!" *holds up {{spoiler|Johnny Cash's autobiography}}*

 

== Deuces ==

* "And I like beating on Chris Brown just as much as Chris Brown likes beating {{spoiler|[[Bait and Switch Comparison|eggs, for his famous homestyle breakfasts]]}}."

* "I've heard jet engines make catchier music than this."

* "Oh, and speaking as a professional silhouette, this is also a terrible freaking video. I mean, what in holy living hell does he think he's doing?! (the video shows a silhouette of Chris Brown, flailing and contorting his arms)

* His reaction to a particularly [[Squick|disturbing]] lyric.

** And afterwards, imitating a dating show:

* Near the middle of the review, Todd gets very pissed off when he hears the lyrics, which are in essence "Girl, you've been a real bitch to me, so I'm dumping you and I hope you regret being mean to me after I find a new girlfriend". He then starts sarcastically talking about how upset he is that Chris Brown is having relationship problems and [[Worlds Smallest Violin|creates violin music on his piano]] to accompany it. Said violin music sounds suspiciously like "OMG" (though Todd said in the TGWTG forums this wasn't his intention).

* His reaction to "Like Tina did to Ike in the limo, it finally hit me". First [[Stunned Silence]]. Then a mock conversation where Chris Brown asks Kevin McCall to remove the lyric because people [[Domestic Abuse|already compare him enough]] to Ike Turner.

 

 

== Whip My Hair ==

* Todd field-testing hair-whipping with the Hannah Montana wig. Even better, the reactions from test subjects to his head shaking.

* The screenshot with the Google auto-complete suggestions for "whip my hair is", which include "banned", "annoying", "terrible" and "awful".

* Todd's attempt to analyze the lyrics.

'''Willow Smith:''' [[Broken Record|I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH! I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH! I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH! I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH! I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH!]]<br />

'''Todd:''' You know, I'm just not getting it. Could you go over it again?<br />

'''Todd:''' [[This Just In]], some breaking news. Willow Smith whips her hair in a motion, which experts are describing as "back and forth". }}

 

'''Todd:''' WILLOW SMITH'S HAIR-WHIPPING IS ''SUPERIOR'' TO YOUR HAIR WHIPPING! }}

 

'''Todd:''' ''You're ten!'' You don't have any ladies, except your mom. }}

* "[[Will Smith|NOD YA HEAD!]] NOD YA HAIR!"

== Top 6 Worst Songs of 2010 (I Didn't Already Review) ==

* Regarding his pick for the fifth worst song, In My Head:

{{spoiler|'''Jason Derulo:''' Jason Derulo!}} }}

* "Man, Nelly's new break-up song is a real [[Tear Jerker]]. My heart just breaks every time he goes '''UHN UHN UHN HEY!'''"

* "Oh, Trey Songz... how are you even a real person?"

* *pause* "Lupa! Lupa! Lupa! Lupa! Lupa! Lupa! Lupa! Lupa!"

* His reaction to Pitbull being on "DJ Got Us Falling In Love".

'''Pitbull:''' My life is a movie and you just TiVo! HEH!<br />

'''Todd:''' HEH! I don't get it.<br />

== The Time (Dirty Bit) ==

* A game of "Finish the rhyme!" leads from him trying to figure out the rhyme to "Ain't messing with the maggots, we're messing with __________."

** The line ends with ''baddest''. Todd reacts accordingly.

* Todd singing Benny Benassi's ''Satisfaction'' over the beat.

* Noticing the director may have slipped in a [[Take That]] to the song itself:

'''Todd:''' Oh, I guess the video director did. Nice subtle commentary there, Mr. Director, well played. }}

* In the style of a Spin-n-Say:

'''will.i.am:''' Dirty bit! (which does, indeed, sound like a frog ribbeting) }}

* The gun of "Imma Be" returns.

'''Todd''': [cocks gun] That can be arranged. }}

* Todd notices that Taboo doesn't have any lines in the song.

 

 

* "Ludacris, you ''do'' realize that you can see her pants from any angle, right?" "Those are some well fitting pants. I love the way those look. You have to tell me where you got them!"

* "Yes sir, when Enrique starts yodeling through his nose, the panties ''drop!''"

* He points out the way "Tonight" sucks as a "love" song by comparing it to other songs of the same type. First, he points out that he's not a fan of "The Whisper Song" by the Ying Yang Twins or "Your Body Is A Wonderland" by John Mayer, but at least they offer the girl something rather than just downright telling her that sex is going to ensue. And then he starts comparing it to other songs.

** "Say what you want about "Sexy Bitch"... I mean it's at least a compliment!"

* "Enrique's always been the smooth [[Latin Lover]] type. "I must teach you the ways of, how you say, the romance." You know this." [Cue photo of tangoing couple] "Not this." [cue naked picture of [[Family Guy|Quagmire]]]

* After unsuccessfully attempting to figure out the meaning of a couple of lines.

* {{spoiler|To all the girls I've [BLEEP] before...}}

 

* "You know who else wasn't scared of it? The Packers!"

* Writhing in pain while watching Transformers.

'''Todd:''' [[Despair Event Horizon|KILL ME! KILL ME!]] }}

* His sarcastic clapping when Wiz has to find a rhyme for "unapproachable"... and just abandons the rhyme scheme.

 

 

== Grenade ==

* Saying that Bruno Mars can convey the passion of a man being repeatedly kicked in the balls, followed by clips of various "Oooh!"s and "Aaah!"s.

* "You know, I wasn't really sure how I felt about him, but then he told me he'd get hit by a train, and the thought of his bloody, battered corpse smeared all over the tracks... Oh God my heart just melted!"

* "I would catch a gre-NAAHD for you, jump in front of a TRAAIHN for you... Yeah, it's a little out of my range."

** At least one comment said he ended up sounding like [[Nirvana|Kurt Cobain]].

* The cameo by [[Pushing Up Roses]]:

'''Todd:''' *indignantly* You're welcome! }}

* Todd displaying how impractical throwing your hand on a blade for someone is.

* Showing the [[Mood Whiplash]] between Bruno Mars's devotion to his girlfriend and calling her evil...culminating in contrasting clips from "Loving You" and Sam Kinison's stand up.

* "I've had enough Jason Mraz for one lifetime, thank you."

* "I'd pull a piano for you. Now there's a song... You ever try and move one of these things? They're heavy. Who wouldn't be touched by a gesture like that? ...Well, ''I'' think it'd be romantic."

== Top 10 Worst Hit Songs Of 1976 ==

* "Breaker, breaker! This here's Shadow Todd, it seems like we've got some trouble on the Top 40, looks like we've got ourselves a CONVOY!"

* Todd noting how bored the people watching The Silver Convention's performance of "Get Up and Boogie" appeared to be:

** And his demonstration of how the song does ''not'' inspire one to dance.

'''Todd:''' No! Is that all you got? I never felt less like boogieing. }}

* [[The Colbert Report|MANILOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!]]

* "I am not going to sit here and be bragged at by [[Barry Manilow]] and the guy who was at best the [[Overly Narrow Superlative|fifth-best songwriter in the]] [[Beach Boys]]. You guys write the songs that make the whole world vomit!"

== Firework / Born This Way ==

* This exchange:

'''Todd''': Do you ever feel like a plastic bag? Katy Perry sure does. Because she's made of plastic. And she's a bag. [[Take That|Boom!]]<br />

'''Katy''': Boom, boom, boom! }}

* "Lady Gaga's single 'Boring This Way.'" [Beat, checks notes.] "''Born'' This Way."

* Referring to the special effects as "Katy Perry's magical chest sparkles" as well as comparing her to a robot.

 

== S&M ==

* Rob Walker's cameo:

* Todd sniffing after hearing the line "Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it!".

* Todd's reference to his [[Ho Yay|experimental days in college]].

* The trombone!

* The conclusion that liking this song is basically sadomasochistic itself.

* The quick shot of Rosie O'Donnell in S&M gear from ''[[East of Eden]]'', shown when Todd is saying that the video is "shouting SEX! over and over again like a deranged Tourette's sufferer".

 

 

== Top 5 Most Awful Moments in Rattle and Hum ==

* "Get over yourselves, U2! Spoilers: U2 are not going to get over themselves."

 

* After Bruno Mars says he'll stare at the fan, [[Description Cut|cutting to a fan.]]

* Todd [[Epic Fail|failing]] to play guitar.d

* "What I'm looking at right here are my college loan statements, and I owe seventy-three... bajillion dollars for an education that only ever got me a job talking about [[Katy Perry]] songs on the Internet. And meanwhile, every day this summer, I get to watch Bruno Mars make billions off a terrible song in which he calls getting a degree "messing around". Seriously, dude? Go die."

* Ranting at Bruno about laziness being a poor subject for a song, and issued a challenge:

'''Todd''': Oh shit, that's a good answer. }}

* {{spoiler|"How long have you been recording this?" "Six hours."}}

== E.T. ==

* Talking about "Fireworks" being a decent song after all.

** [[Rollo T]] accuses him of being worse than himself having Miley Cirus in his iPod.

'''Todd:''' [quickly] Yep, Katy Perry sure does suck! }}

* "Katy singing someone who's not human and from a whole other world. Considering [[Russell Brand|who she is married to]], sounds about right"

* "You're an Indian, an Ethiopian..."

* [[A Fish Called Wanda|It's KKKKaty coming to kkkkiss me!]]

* "American Pie" as written by Kanye West:

* This:

'''Todd''': Police, I'd like to report an assault in progress! }}

* "It turns out, her magical alien dream lover is, in fact, a naked albino black guy. You know what? I'm not even touchin' that one. Good night!"

 

== Glitter ==

* The movie fastforwards itself as a transition and Todd initially thinks he sat on the remote.

* The [[Running Gag]] of "NOPE" everytime Todd tries to speculate if something will become a plot point. Specially his meltdown after the third.

** "You sure you don't want to go with someone with a little more street cred? You know, like [[Lawrence Welk]]? Or Hitler?"

Aminal of you tonight. }}

* "Yeah, gonna have some awkward had-too-much-to-drink sex... tonight!"

'''[[Anchorman|Ron Burgundy]]''': And in no way is that depressing. }}

 

* Playing "We Are Family" to describe the nepotism involved with the episode's band and LMFAO.

* All party songs repeat "Everybody," "Fun," and "Tonight." Or, worst case scenario "Everbody Have Fun Tonight."

* This song is "for people threatened by the raw, dangerous sexuality of the Jonas Brothers".

* The [[Overly Long Gag|extended sequence]] in which he compares Hot Chelle Rae's brand of partying to a high-school graduation party.

* The beginning of the video, playing If I Die Young, a morbid song about death, at a quick tempo that makes it sound like a happy ditty.

* His reaction to finding out that Kimberly Perry is actually 28, ''older than he is'' but is writing something that sounds like it should come from a 16 year old.

* His "flashback" to his emo days.

** "Yeah, I sure was a whiny little brat 10 months ago, back when that was filmed."

* His struggle to understand the logistics of Kimberly's funeral arrangement, including asking if she needs to be set adrift ''after'' she's been buried, and when she asks for a love song to be played, cuing up Boyz II Men and wondering if that's appropriate for the occasion.

* In a [[Valley Girl]] accent:

 

 

== Top 10 Songs About Mediocre Romance ==

* The video's cold open, complete with puppies, catfights, and Todd's "mediocre relationship" version of James Blunt's "You're Beautiful."

'''Todd:''' Heh, yeah, that was pretty awesome. }}

'''Lupa''': *[[Face Palm]]* }}

** A call back to Nostalgia Chick's [[Pocahontas|first video review]]:

** The truly brilliant part for me was the particular clip used meant that after each section, which all seemed to end with a fairly firm declaration on Todd's part, the next thing we hear is the cheery singing, "Well, not really."

* Todd's reaction to {{spoiler|Billy Joel's 'She's Always A Woman'}} being nothing but one long [[Damned By Faint Praise]] moment:

"Yeah, I think we're pretty much done with him. }}

 

* Cutting from Bruno Mars to [[Motley Crue]].

* DICK REFERENCE COUNT

== Sexy and I Know It ==

* [[The Stinger]] at the end is {{spoiler|Benzaie's theme song for if he was gay}}.

* "If you're sexy and you know it, flop your dick."

 

 

== 5 O'Clock ==

* "Nimoy, live long and prosper, man. Bruno, go bankrupt and die."

* Several songs receiving the "DIRTY BIT!" treatment.

* To begin number eight, we see Todd watching the 2009 Grammy Awards and complaining when [[Adele]] is named Best New Artist, [[Tempting Fate|saying she'll probably just be quickly forgotten]]. [[Gilligan Cut|Cut]] to him at his piano playing "Someone Like You" and saying [[Sarcasm Mode|"See, this is why my friends call me Nostradamus."]]

** When he gets to number 3, the first few seconds of the video to "Rolling in the Deep" <ref>For reference, the biggest selling song of the year</ref> play. Cut to Todd, in front of his TV again yelling [[Dramatic Irony|"She's a nobody! A NOBODY!"]]

* "Ah [[Usher]]. [[Chick Magnet|The women want him]] [[Even the Guys Want Him|and the men want him.]] [[That Came Out Wrong|Want to be him.]] [[Freudian Slip|I meant want to be him.]]"

 

== Runaway ==

Todd: I reluctantly give in and accept. }}

* Todd: "Why does Kanye has a sheep in his backyar-? Scratch that, I don't wanna know."

Todd: Are those red hooded KKK members in a [[Michael Jackson]]'s funeral parade? WHYYY??? }}

** When they come back and see the scene isn't over yet, they return to play more games.

* Rap Critic: (with a forced happy glee) "I know some of you have questions about this. Please direct them to the slow motion explosion."

* Also this quote (about the statues being phoenixes):

 

 

== Just A Kiss ==

* Having Jesus come in and crash the review, demanding Todd to stop the promotion of fornication.

* "This pillow is my girlfriend."

* "Yeah, you'll be in my dream." [[[Beat]]] "But not in my pants. WHY AM I LISTENING TO THIS?!"

* Todd comparing Chris Brown to a [[Heel|wrestling villain]] and the witty retorts to Chris Brown's [[Twitter|tweets]].

** Speaking of which, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it gag when Todd reads one of Brown's more immature tweets- just before it disappears, he [[You Make Me Sic|corrects all the grammatical errors]] and writes "D-".

* His reaction to "My love for you [[You Keep Using That Word|went viral]]".

* Return of [[Hypocritical Humor]]

 

 

== Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) ==

** [[Obscurus Lupa|Sound familiar?]]

** The way Todd slumps when his phone rings, already seeing the trouble ahead.

** The Chick's carrot-and-stick arguments for doing the review.

* Todd and Chick trying to remember what ''From Justin to Kelly'' was about.

** Concluding with Chick describing it as, "the cinematic equivalent of watching someone slooowly scrape the burnt part off the toast. And failing."

* The baffling fact of its existence at all, as the concept is hardly a solid one and the two leads were not big celebrities or actors:

* Chick saying that the spring break setting of the movie is like "MTV's Summer Beach House filtered through the lens of a middle school principal."

* Two Words: '''"NOW KISS!"''' Made even more hillarious when you notice that Lindsay is trying (and failing) to suppress her laughter in the background.

* Todd's confusion over the line "My friends call me Kelly for short".

* Todd questioning the purpose of the [[Token Evil Teammate]] in teen romantic comedies.

* [[Hypocrisy Nod|"Who wants to see people do stupid things on the internet"]]

* The video ends with Todd returning to his keyboard to write his script on Gotye. It doesn't work out.

Todd: ''[[Head Desk]]'' God damn it. }}

 

== We Are Young and Somebody That I Used to Know ==

* Todd not having any ideas on how to review the current indie songs on the Top 100, because he knows nothing about Gotye and other hits aren't stupid enough to mock.

 

 

== One Hit Wonderland: Kung Fu Fighting ==

* "Did he deserve better?"

* Todd calmly plays the intro to the song and when the real song starts to play, excitedly strikes a kung fu pose.

* His arguments for music years worse than 1974: Air Supply in 1980, Vanilla Ice in 1990, and Nickelback in 2001.

 

== Misc ==

 

* His cameo in Y Ruler of Time's review on [[Soulja Boy|Soulja Boy's]] "Anime".

* The [http://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/21414101751 following] [http://twitter.com/minaminokyoko/status/21414444785 three] [http://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/21414569951 tweets.]

'''Todd:''' Hey! You been looking at [[Obscurus Lupa|my girl]], you little blue bobble-headed ball of crap?!<br />

'''Stickman:''' 0_0<br />

'''Todd:''' Yeah, yeah, that's right, you better run! [[[Beat]]] What a nice guy. Good talk. }}

** And with Lupa, the Chick and [[Jew Wario]] in [[Brows Held High]]'s [[Musical Episode|review of]] ''[[The Man Who Fell to Earth]]''.

** Related, Todd dumping The Chick on her review for ''The Little Mermaid''. And all his cameos in Chick videos afterwards.

'''Todd:''' Should I do this? Ugh, she's gonna make do this. }}

** The first time, Todd appears to be dancing to a different track than everyone else.

** When the Channel Awesome team is told by the game to "freestyle," everyone gets into it, except Todd, who stands stock still with the most forlorn and bemused look on his face.

** Pretty much ''all'' of the captions throughout the video were gold.

** Special mention to when Todd first plays it, and he finishes it looking utterly distressed and horrified.

'''Caption:''' '''''NO.''''' }}
