** Ryan [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYAmSXpeFjM painting in]] the style of a ''Creator/BobRoss'' parody makes it look like that he's going to draw something weird or terrible for the sake of a joke, but he actually draws a pretty good painting actually in the style of Bob Ross.

* ItsPronouncedTroPAY: The "niga" isn't an incorrect spelling of [[NWordPrivileges the N-word]], but it's supposed to be the Japanese word for "rant", so it's pronounced "nee-gah", rhyming with "Higa" (pronounced "hee-gah").

* NiceGuysFinishLast: In "Nice Guys", Ryan and Kevin decide to take a class on how to not be a NiceGuy under the assumption that their girlfriends would like them more if they were [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boys]]. Throughout the music video, they realize that being a {{jerkass}} just pushes their girlfriends away and they decide to quit the act and make up with their girlfriends, subverting this trope. However, the lyrics are played straight, even during Ryan and Kevin's {{Heel Realization}}s, where the lyrics go on about how the singer (likely the teacher) would like to be open to their girlfriend, but dismisses that thought and continues to be a jerk.

You're comparing a well-rehearsed performance (in which that likely happened before) to the spontaneous choreography of movie musicals.


* {{Irony}}: In a meta sense. In "Musicals in Real Life", one of the problems he points out is how the songs are always perfect and uninterrupted, no matter what the singer is actually doing that might jostle their voice or stop them from singing, and he uses [[{{Disney/Moana}} "How Far I'll Go"]] as the example. Except, during the 2017 Oscars, Auli'i Cravalho, Moana's actress, disproved this very point when performing the song live. One of the flag dancers bumped her on the head during the performance, and she continued to deliver the song unflinchingly and without any sign of disruption.



* WereStillRelevantDammit: [[invoked]] Parodied and invoked. Ryan is not above making jokes around then-trending topics or memes, but will also make fun of how immediately outdated it will be. There was a period where Ryan would relentlessly make fun of [[{{Music/Justin Bieber}},]] though this faded out and a video even opened up with him immediately shooting down an attempted "Bieber Fever" joke.
