Todd in the Shadows/Shout-Out: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* In his ''Your Love is my Drug'' review, a snippet of ''[[Tom Waits|The Piano Has been Drinking]]'' plays after he drunkenly passes out.

** He calls "Bedrock" the first pop music reference to ''[[The Flintstones]]'' since "Bedrock Anthem".

** "Eat It" and other food-related songs come to his mind while trying to figure out why "Carry Out" was ever written.

* He uses clips from ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' quite a lot.

* After failing to play the ''Hannah Montana Pop Tour Guitar Video Game'' successfully due to its completely strumless controller.

* The image of [[Satan]] seen in the "Like a G6" review is from the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "The Satan Pit". (Although, in the commentary, he admitted that he had no idea of the source and had just Google image searched for Satan pictures.)

** In the comment for "Like A G6", he says that "Swear upon the good book" cutting to [[Johnny Cash]]'s autobiography was a reference to ''[[High Fidelity]]''.

* His speech after joining - and subsequently quitting - TGWTG.com is a paraphrased version of Conan O'Brien's final ''[[Tonight Show]]'' "farewell speech". There is a chance that this, however, is a [[Take That]] - it all really depends on whether or not Todd is a fan of Conan O'Brien.

* He's used the same clip of [[Metalocalypse|Nathan Explosion]] twice.

* ''Very'' subtle one in his review of "Club Can't Handle Me". When he is talking about the "lyrics" in the verses, he says "blah blah blah, Leonard Bernstein", which is a reference to [[Something Something Leonard Bernstein|a verse in the similarly incoherent]] "It's The End Of The World As We Know It", by [[REM]].

* When Todd attempts to guess what rhymes with Lehman in the Imma Be review, his first two guesses are [[Half Life|Freeman and G-Man.]]

* Early on in the Worst Hit Songs Of 1987 list, he asks [[The KLF|"1987, what the fuck is going on?"]]

* He once compared Lady Gaga's desperation to look unconventionally attractive to Chuck Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters, in which the main character is a model missing the lower half of her jaw.

* Crossover example: in a [[Let's Play]] collaboration with [[Pushing Up Roses]] (''Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise''), Todd reacts to [[It Came From the Fridge|a living dish on the fridge]] with "[[Garfield and Friends|a creature living in the refrigerator, behind the mayonnaise, next to the ketchup, and to the left of the cole slaw]]".

* His trucker lingo gibberish in "The Top 10 Worst Songs of 1976" eventually turns into the song-within-a-song from "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."

* His avatar on most sites is [[Peanuts|Schroeder at the piano]] or an altered version thereof.

* In a three-part [[Let's Play]] of Putt Putt Goes To The Moon, he describes a lever that is not supposed to be pulled as "[[The Ren and Stimpy Show|The shining, CANDY-like lever.]]" Later in the same review: "[[Futurama|We're whalers on the moon...]]"

* In the review of Katy Perry's "E.T.", he remarks "[[A Fish Called Wanda|It's K-k-katy c-c-come to k-k-kiss me.]]"

** From Kanye's rap section:

{{quote| '''Kanye:''' I know a bar out in Mars where they drivin' spaceships instead of cars.<br />

* In his review of "Party Rock Anthem", he says "[[And Then John Was a Zombie|and then John was a douchebag!]]"

* His praise for "In Too Deep" by Phil Collins is a word-for-word quote from ''[[American Psycho]]'', with a clip from the scene in question fading into view.

* It got to the point where he unsuccesfully tried to [[Exploited Trope|exploit]] [[Shout-Out]] in his review of Dirty Bit, in order to get a better song playing.
