  • In his Your Love is my Drug review, a snippet of The Piano Has been Drinking plays after he drunkenly passes out.
  • He references Weird Al Yankovic several times:
    • 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.
    • In his review of "Telephone", he considers the reason for the recent trend of making references to cell phones in pop music. "RINGTONE!"
    • When he considers that Katy Perry's "Firework" would work better as something more permanent and useful, like firewood, he immediately sets the concept to music. "Watch out, Weird Al!"
    • He uses "Good Enough For Now" as the intro music for his Top Ten Songs About Mediocre Romance, and gives bonus points to anyone who actually knows it.
  • 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.
