--->'''Todd''': What, you mean ''this'' Prince?\\
''(cue "Pussy Control")''

-->'''Todd''': What, you mean ''this'' Prince?\\

* On Music/TobyKeith's "Red Solo Cup": "This song is hilarious, and I will hear no word from anyone who disagrees."
-->'''Toby Keith''': [[ManipulativeEditing Kiss my ass]].
* On Adele's "Skyfall" getting an honorable mention:
-->"Boy, this is the best James Bond theme in a while, isn't it? Wow, this really deserved to be on the list, right? Gosh, wouldn't I have looked much less stupid if I'd put this on the list instead of Flo Rida? *sigh*"
* His response to "Gangnam Style" making it as a honorable mention after doing a review of it?
-->"It grew on me. Shut up."

** "Ladies and gentlemen, we have made such great progress in the fight against singers trying to be funny. The scourge of the rap album comedy skit is all but eradicated, but there is still so much work to do. Millions of people on YouTube are exposed every day to pre-song comedy bits in music videos. And that number is just growing everyday. You can help. Please donate to the Stop Singers From Thinking They're Funny Foundation, care of me. I can think of no cause dearer to my heart."

* When it comes time to pick which one is better, [[spoiler:Todd realizes that he doesn't have to. [[TakeThat They were the only good songs on the radio at the time]]]].

** And right after the "technical difficulties" sign goes away, there's an angry silence, and as soon as they open their mouths they both go back into arguing over each other. At this point, we cut to the credits [[spoiler: set to "[[SoundtrackDissonance Ebony and Ivory]]"]].

** Fun fact for those who don't know: [[spoiler:That's the first joke of the series.]]

* Todd notes how coincidental it is that two years ago he reviewed both Lady Gaga and Katy Perry in a single review, and now they've released a simultaneous song again. He then decides to change the review to compare "Applause" with "Roar". [[spoiler:It takes exactly twelve seconds for him to dismiss "Roar" as "BORING".]]

** He then uses this to insist that the villain of ''Film/AceVentura 2'' wasn't raped by a gorilla at the end.

* Todd makes it look like he originally planned reviewing the plain version of "Girl on Fire", but the "Inferno" remix with NickiMinaj plays instead. Enter WebVideo/TheRapCritic again.

** Later, Todd denied this on Twitter- he only saw one episode (He didn't say which), but felt that while VictoriaJustice and Elizabeth Gilles had much more personality then the Disney princesses, he probably won't watch the rest of the show in the immediate future.

'''Todd:''' ''(sitting at his piano, lets out an exasperated sigh, and begins to play "Blurred Lines")'' [[LiteralGenie Ok. I guess that's my fault for not being clear.]]

* Rap Critic's swift shift in reactions towards Marilyn Monroe's ghost appearing to Nicki as a sort of continuation to her original MarilynMonroe song.

* Todd's attempt to comprehend the metaphors in "Domino", after he acknowledges its performer, Jessie J, as a blatant KatyPerry knockoff.

* I don't know about you, but having Todd equate Music/{{Macklemore}} as the ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' of music and then having the caption immediately afterwards saying "[[BigNo NO]]" to that kind of makes one think if he did it intentionally or not. If not, then it certainly counts as an unintentional bit of humor there.

* The ''ThirtyRock'' Reference brought on by a Music/JayZ line.

'''Todd''': Yeah, that. It's harder than it looks, I'll give him that.

'''Pitbull''': '''''PARTY!!!'''''\\

* The attempt at a CrossOver with TheRapCritic.

-->'''Britney:''' ♪When you hear this in the club, you're gotta turn this shit up♪\\

''(cue a picture of Pitbull with the Microsoft "Ta-da!" sound effect)''\\

* "Listening to this does not make me imagine any demons, and it certainly doesn't make me imagine any dragons. Let me try. (cue images of [[Music/{{Train}} Hefty]] [[CallBack bags]], [[StopHelpingMe Clippy from Microsoft Office]] and Jacob from ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'') Nothing."

-->''Todd:'' ''(listening to "Demons")'' Ok, the ''one'' thing I like about that [=OneRepublic=] song is that lead singer Ryan Tedder ''finally'' puts some passion into his voice, but ''that's it!'' Actually, he kinda sounds like the guy from Imagine Dragons. ''(watches video)'' Actually, he kinda looks like the guy from Imagine Dragons! ''[{{beat}}]'' Actually, he uh...wait... ''("Demons" singles cover appears on screen)'' Wait, ''seriously??'' And the other one...? ''("Counting Stars" singles cover appears on screen)'' Noooooooo... No no, wait, so the cool one, with the interesting music is by [=OneRepublic=], and Imagine Dragons are the one doing that nothing burner dirge over there? What? [[BigWhat WHAT?!]]

-->''Todd:'' I get the feeling Ryan Tedder didn't record this song risking his personal fortune and future. There wasn't a crowd of concerned people going, "YOU'RE A FOOL, TEDDER! A MAAAAADMAN!"

-->'''Todd:''' This is like the greatest thing I've ever heard! This is the song I've been waiting for all year! There's no way this is gonna be a hit. Could it? Oh please, please, please. Dear God, I know we don't speak much, but if you can just grant me one favor. There's this really awesome song on the radio right now, and I don't know if you've heard it. It's got this funky 70s beat, and Pharrell's on it, and it's just really great, and would you please make that song a #1 hit?
-->'''God:''' I hear your prayer, my child.
-->3 weeks later...
-->'''Todd:''' (sitting at his piano, lets out an exasperated sigh, and begins to play "Blurred Lines") [[LiteralGenie Ok. I guess that's my fault for not being clear.]]

--> "So what does rhyme with "hug me"? I'm gonna guess he probably means [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "fuuuuug me"]]? "Fug m--" Yeah, that doesn't really rhyme with "hug me"! ['''#NOTARHYME'''] So, since that doesn't rhyme with "hug me", what does? "Bug me", "Mug--" Or how about "Drug me"? That fits the tone of this song."
--> '''[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Quagmire]]:''' "Waiter! Martini and a roofie colada!"

-->'''Todd:''' Today, we're lookung at two former teen actresses who seem to be continuing down the path of fame and fortune-- Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. Now for most of their adolescence, the Disney Corporation owned their careers, their lives, and probably most of their major organs. But now that Uncle Walt no longer has them under his cryogenically frozen thumb, these two are out to prove that they're not little girls anymore. No, they're out to scream to the world...
-->'''[[Music/TheLonelyIsland Andy Samberg]]:''' I'M AN ADULT!

-->'''Todd:''' I know next to nothing about Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace. I guess I really should find out something about them, so I know what I'm talking about. You know, these girls and their careers and how their personas have evolved over several seasons. As it turns out, I can watch both series on Netflix, so out of obligation, I'm gonna go educate myself on the subject.
-->'''Justin:''' Edgebonoutoosis! (Waves wand at rabbit, creating a duplicate)
-->'''Jerry:''' Good. Real rabbit, duplicate rabbit. No, duplicate rabbit, real-- anyway, there's two now.
-->'''Todd:''' Ok, that's enough. I don't need to know that badly, I think I got the idea.

-->'''Todd:''' I do not have it in me to be shocked anymore by pop singers doing the Girls Gone Wild shtick. I've seen it a billion times. I've already seen it with Miley, for Christ's sakes. So what? What exactly is supposed to be shocking about this?
-->'''Miley Cyrus:''' ♪And everyone in line in the bathroom\ Trying to get a line in the bathroom♪
-->'''Todd:''' Holy shit, [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar that was a straight-up cocaine reference.]] Series/HannahMontana is singing about snorting coke.

-->'''Todd:''' See, it's pretty specific.
-->'''Harry Styles:''' ♪Said I had a dirty mouth♪
-->'''Todd:''' It's specifically the Orbit gum woman.
-->'''Veronica Branch:''' Dirty mouth? Fabulous.
-->'''Todd:''' I didn't even know the British had dentists!

-->'''Todd:''' Ok, this is probably as disappointing to you as it is to me. I really wanted to hate this song, but I cannot properly provide the anger that you're all expecting. All I can say is I offer my sincerest apologies, and in my defense, I promised myself when I started this that I would always give my opinions honestly, even if they were unpopular. And I hope that all my loyal viewers understand, and that it only strengthens your respect for my integrity as a critic.
-->'''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Comic Book Guy]]:''' [[WorstWhateverEver Worst. Episode. Ever.]]
-->'''Todd:''' Yeah, I agree...

-->'''Lady Gaga''': ♪I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong♪
-->'''Todd''': Like what, in a Creator/ChuckBarris kind of way? (''cue clip of Series/TheGongShow'')

-->'''JustinTimberlake:''' ♪Sippin' from your cup 'til it runneth over...♪
-->'''Gudda Gudda:''' ♪Grocery bag!♪

-->'''Todd:''' I didn't realize until just now what a limited range Justin Timberlake has. Every one of his hits has basically had the same message: "I am cool." I guess there's "Mirrors". And even then, he's comparing the girl he loves so much to ''[[UpToEleven his own reflection]]''.
-->'''[[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston:]]''' ♪Here in town, it's only she\ who's as beautiful as me♪
* * "It's not a short song either. Yeah, that's the other problem with this song. It's too damn long. For God's sakes, even just the intro last a minute and a half. You could eat an entire large pizza in the time it takes for this song to get started. [[BigEater At least I can.]] I mean, I assume everyone can, right?"

-->'''Bruno''': ♪I got a body full of liquor with a cocaine kicker / And I'm feeling like I'm 30 feet tall♪
-->'''Todd''': Oh good. Because nothing improves your sexual performance like a nice gallon of whiskey. Of course, I guess you can counteract that depressant with a nice kicker of cocaine. That's some better living through chemistry right there. What could go wrong with mixing alcohol and cocaine?
-->(''picture of a tombstone'')
-->'''Todd''' Oh yeah. Well, I guess we know why gorillas are endangered.

-->'''Bruno:''' ♪If the neighbors call the cops\ Call the sheriff, call the SWAT ‒ we don't stop\ We keep rocking while they're knocking on our door♪
-->'''Todd:''' Well, when they do knock down your door, make sure you've hidden your cocaine. You do have a problem with that."

-->'''Bruno''': ♪Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex / And she's gonna scream out, "This is great!"♪ (''[[FlatJoy Oh my god, this is so great]]'')
-->'''Todd''': Yeah, point proven. I have a feeling that's a closer approximation of what sex with Bruno Mars is like.

-->'''Todd''': Not everything sex-related is sexy, and I don't know if Bruno Mars understands that. Gorillas aren't really something that turns people on. Except for this hot little number here:
-->(''clip of Noodle from Music/{{Gorillaz}} dancing in the video for "DARE"'')
-->'''Todd''': That one is pretty sexy. Otherwise, no.

-->'''Todd:''' Like...ok, she's naked on a wrecking ball. What else is there to talk about? See, she's riding a giant ball. It's subtle. Here, let me make it even subtler for you.
-->'''[[Music/{{ACDC}} Bon Scott:]]''' (playing over the video) ♪We've got big balls\ Dirty big balls\ He's got big balls\ She's got big balls♪

-->'''Todd:''' See, where it all went wrong is pretty obvious. Not everyone operates on the same comfort level or expectations. You can't just tear down someone's boundaries; you only end up unsatisfied and pushed even further away. So if you got that reaction from someone, you obviously were pushing too hard and you need to learn something about caring and understanding and respect.
-->(Phone rings)
-->'''Elisa:''' Hey, Todd. Paw and I were wondering if you still wanted to come over and catch up on True Blood.
-->Todd: STOP SMOTHERING ME!!!

--> '''Todd:''' Pop song chords: No. NO. '''YES.'''

-->''Todd:'' ''[Listening to "Demons"]'' Ok, the ''one'' thing I like about that [=OneRepublic=] song is that lead singer Ryan Tedder ''finally'' puts some passion into his voice, but ''that's it!'' Actually, he kinda sounds like the guy from Imagine Dragons.
-->''[Watches video]'' Actually, he kinda looks like the guy from Imagine Dragons! ''[{{beat}}]'' Actually, he uh...wait...
-->''["Demons" singles cover appears on screen]''
-->Wait, ''seriously??'' And the other one...?
-->''["Counting Stars" singles cover appears on screen]''
-->Noooooooo... No no, wait, so the cool one, with the interesting music is by [=OneRepublic=], and Imagine Dragons are the one doing that nothing burner dirge over there? What? [[BigWhat WHAT?!]]

-->'''Todd:''' The lyric structure is actually really corny.
-->'''Dan Reynolds:''' ♪When the days are cold\ And the cards all fold\ And the saints we see\ Are all made of gold\ When your dreams...♪
-->'''[[WesternAnimation/{{Daria}} Trent Lane:]]''' ♪When the whip comes down\ When they nuke the town\ When dead clowns can't clown\ We'll still be freakin' friends♪
