* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Did you notice how he performed ''[[Friday (Music)|Friday]]'' in a much less mocking manner than most TGWTG cast members? Do you recall when he told his fans on Twitter that he wasn't going to make fun of the song, as "at this point, it would just be cruel"? [[I Gave My Word|He gave his word]].

* [[Fridge Horror]]: When reviewing "If I Die Young", he talks about a time when he felt the same way as the singer about how "they'll all miss me when I'm dead", complete with [[Description Cut]], before revealing that the flashback took place ten ''months'' earlier. It's meant to be a joke, but considering that the review was released in late September 2011, a flashback from ten months prior would have taken place in late November 2010... less than a month before he contracted MRSA and came close to dying young.

** In his countdown of the top 10 worst pop songs of 2009, he describes "The Climb" by [[Miley Cyrus]] as the kind of song they get ''[[American Idol]]'' winners to sing.

  • Audience-Alienating Premise: A dude on That Guy With The Glasses sits in shadow wearing a hoodie and complaining about horrible pop songs.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Manages to do a pretty good piano cover of whatever song he's about to review, whenever the episode starts.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: During his review from "Turn Up the Music", the description of Chris Brown's assault on Rihanna is used as this.
  • Foe Yay: His hatred of Chris Brown starts to resemble this. He just puts so much energy into hating him!
  • Fridge Brilliance: Did you notice how he performed Friday in a much less mocking manner than most TGWTG cast members? Do you recall when he told his fans on Twitter that he wasn't going to make fun of the song, as "at this point, it would just be cruel"? He gave his word.
  • Fridge Horror: When reviewing "If I Die Young", he talks about a time when he felt the same way as the singer about how "they'll all miss me when I'm dead", complete with Description Cut, before revealing that the flashback took place ten months earlier. It's meant to be a joke, but considering that the review was released in late September 2011, a flashback from ten months prior would have taken place in late November 2010... less than a month before he contracted MRSA and came close to dying young.
  • He Panned It, Now He Sucks: He briefly came under fire for his attitude towards adult alternative after he explained it at length on "The Lazy Song,"
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:

What, you mean like the admins? I've talked to Bhargav, he walked me through the process of uploading my videos to TGWTG and he also politely informed that no, he didn't think I had a chance of dating The Nostalgia Chick. Does that count?

    • He once (on Like A G6) used the term "Oriental" to describe East Asians, unaware it could be taken as a slur. He eventually reviewed "Born This Way" which got Lady Gaga in trouble for exactly the same thing.
    • When reviewing "Empire State Of Mind" for the list of his favorite songs of 2010, he pointed out the tendency for the people he's met from New York (the one time he's been there) to claim to be superior over the slightest things, and eventually finds he identifies with the idea. Guess which state's residents he's been spending a lot of time with lately?
    • In his "Top Ten Worst Hit Songs of 1976," he mentions a few soft rock singers that he likes, but stops just short of Michael Bolton, saying that he would still pick him over Peter Cetera. About a month later, Michael Bolton's guest spot on Jack Sparrow made him more popular than any of the other singers mentioned.
    • In his "Top Ten Worst Hit Songs of 1987" list, he says that he likes "Tonight" and "Tonight, Tonight", but "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" is too many tonights for him. He probably wasn't expecting Hot Chelle Rae to put his theory to the test before even a year had passed. (Not to mention "Tonight..." (I'm Fucking You) in the same year.)
      • To prove the point further, he ends the review of HCR's song with "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight"!
      • And if that wasn't enough, "Tonight..." and "Tonight, Tonight" were his two least favorite songs of 2011.
    • Speaking of "Tonight...", back in his review of "We Are the World 25" Todd claimed that Enrique's Latin Lover shtick was beginning to wear thin. 1 year later...
    • Back in his review of 'Grenade', Todd used a joke where he accidently shows a picture of Brüno instead of Bruno Mars in the opening bit. Royce Da 5'9" made a similar reference at the end of his verse in 'Lighters' (which had Mars on the chorus), reviewed by Todd nearly a year later.
  • Like You Would Really Do It Stab Yourself In The Hand With Your Own Machete During Your Review Of Grenade
  • Misaimed Fandom: The Shipteasing between Todd and Obscurus Lupa was played for laughs, yet the shipping is occasionally taken at face value by fans..
  • Nightmare Fuel: At the end of his "Tonight..." review, after the credits, audio from a YouTube Poop (this one) of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode he referenced earlier is played over a black screen. It was later cut.

"...And rape." *screaming* "...And rape. *more screaming* "...And rape."

  • One True Threesome: As mentioned, a large percentage of TGWTG fanfic that involves Todd is him in an OT3 with frequent collaborators, Paw and Roses.
  • Unfortunate Implications:
    • He described an outfit worn by Justin Bieber as the "least heterosexual" he has ever seen.
    • One of the reasons he dislikes "I Like It" is because Enrique Iglesias sounds "really gay" on it.
    • Americans disliked his multiple references to East Asian people as "Orientals" on "Like A G6". Apparently, he didn't realize the connotations it has in most of America.
    • His over-the-top dissertations on shock value in pop music (such as "3," the Ke$ha reviews, and Lady Gaga's works) made him look like a Heteronormative Crusader.
    • His jab at Christian Rock might be taken this way.
  • The Woobie:
